Republican would like to have every intelligent farmer put his name down and make an effort. It does not cost a cent and nothing is required except that which an intelligent and pains taking farmer should do anyhow for his own knowledge of how his invest ment is turning out. Several contest ants are now on the list and many more are wanted.
 This contest is merely to see which agriculturists make the greatest per- centages on their investments. It does not matter whether a contestant has $500 or $5O.0O0 invested. It is the per- centage of profit on the investment and the blanks explain it all. Nor does it matter what the investment is; {; whether it is cereals, hay. fruit. gar den truck, cattle, hogs, berries oranges, cantaloupes. melons. sorghum or any other crop thta grows in this valley. Come in MT. Farmer and look at the blanks and hear more about the contest.

 to let the reader know what the farm CTS in this valley have done and are doing. What their investments are

Some of the stories may appear romantic to people living else where, but if the writer of the letter admits in cold type that he is the man who did the work and got the money for it, the facts will not be so easily disputed and the reader cannot accuse the newspaper reporters of being eith- CT liars or too stupid to get a clear story. These letters are for facts, not for fine writing. and The Republican would like to have as many as possi- ble as soon as possible
 The other matter is that of the Far mers' contest.

A SORRY SLUMP IN
 BASEBALL GAMES
Disappointment Among the Fans Gen erally Over the Recent Farcical Exhibitions.

The Woodchoppers and the MarOons made a desperate effort yesterday af- ternoon at Eastlake to play ball. but after nine frightful chapters of clutch ing in the dust for the elusive sphere. it wound up with 10 runs for the Mex jeans and 8 belonging to the Wood choppers. and a huge junk pile of CT TOTS. which nobody claimed, belonging to everybody. It was hugely mirth- provoking. so much so that noae went away with a sour face saylng he had been robbed or Overcharged The Frolics Of COontown or. Flannigan'S Folly would have been a near-tra gedy in comparison.
 This might be truthfully qualified by stating that there were exceptional instances and individual stunts which were not farciCal. but which gave symptoms of real baseball intelligence.

CLAIMS BLACKSMITH WAS
TRIED AND DISCHARGED
Attorney for Whittier Man Asks COM
plant Against Client Be Dis
mIssed-Fight over Sale
of Stock

A. L. Rowe, the Whittier blacksmith
arrested on complaint of j. e. Meyers,
a dealer in mining stock, on a charge
of assault on March %, was yesterday
examined before Justice Selph and the
case continued when Rowe's attorney
asked that his client be discharged on
the ground that he had already been
tried for the offense in justice court
in Whittier.
The relations between Meyers and
Rowe are not at all friendly, and up
to the present time Meyers has lost.
Rowe claims the dealer in mining
shares sold him worthless stock some
time ago, and when next they met in
Whittier Meyers was pursued down
the principal street, falling over wire
with Rowe on top of him administer
ing a punishment without any regard
to the force or frequency of his blows.
Both men were arrested on charge
of disturbing the peace, and Meyers,
believing sentiment in Whittier to be
against him, it is said, asked for
change of venue and was tried in a
justice court in Downey, where he was
compelled to pay fine of $40. The
charge against Rowe was dismissed in
Whittier because the prosecutor during
the trial had failed to establish,
through an error, the time and place
at which the offense was committed.
Then Myers filed complaint In Los
Angeles, and the case was yesterday
continued pending the decision of JUS
tice Selph on the point raised by RoWe's
attorney that the blacksmith had al
ready been tried on the charge.

team of horses and a surrey belonging
to F. H. Carpenter, a ranchman OF
Glendora.
These they drove to Venice and, after
remaining two days and partaking of
the festivities incident to the presence
of the fleet, began the homeward
journey.
They were overtaken at Palms by
DEPUTY Sheriff r. H. Wright, VINO re-
stored the animals to their owner ana
took the boys to the juvenile court.

HINDU PRINCESS Is
WITNESS AT TRIAL
Tells of Peculiar Beliefs of Woman
Who Lived with Her for Many
Months-Wears Rich
Raiment

Ganesa Labridala, who says she is
real Hindu princess, figured as wit
ness before the insanity commission IN
the superior court yesterday in the ex-
animation of Emma Dromeberger as 10
her mental condition.
Attired in flowing robes of silk and
lace and with a richly embroidered
circlet OF jewels about her head, the
princess was the central figure in the
large gathering of spectators and W.T.
nesses in the courtroom.
Miss Dromeberger came to California
year ago from her home in Ohio ana
remained a short time with the family
of r. Yeomans at Ocean Park. Later,
when the Yeomans came to Los An
geles, the woman followed and again
took up her residence with them. On
April l she went to live with the Hindu
princess, 109 Rose avenue, where she
at times became quite violent. Ac-
cording to the dark-skinned visitor
from the land of mystery Miss Drome-
berger believed there was man await
ing her in Patton with an offer of mar
riage. She is said to have made trip
to the asylum and returned with the
statement that she had seen the man,
but his appearance had disappointed
her.
At another time, it was said, Miss
Dromeberger walked from one end of
the city to the other in order to save
car fare, using the money to purchase a
bouquet for Ruby Casselman, now in
the county jail Her last acts of vio-
lence occurred at the time of the de-
parture from Venice of the fleet, the
| leaving of which she said would be fol-
lowed by a great disaster. She was
committed to the asylum.
