OUT-OE-TOWN PUPILS
TO PAY TUITION FEE
Non-Residents Are So Numerous at
Santa Monica High School AM
nuaI Payment Is Made
Necessary

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 2.-The board
of education finally has come to "a de-
cision regarding the status of non-resi-
dent pupils in the high school.
They announce that beginning with
the term which commences February
a tuition fee of So a month will be
charged pupils living outside the school
district.
The matter has been under discussion
for long time and many arguments
have been urged both for and against
charging the non-residents. When it is
taken into consideration there are be-
tween seventy and eighty of these stu
dents and that the annual expense is
more than $4,000 to the taxpayers of this
district it will be seen that the action
of the board is more in self-defense
than otherwise.

Commit Murder

SANTA ANA, Dec. "A slight error

a fatal error has been made by the dis

This morning a demurrer to the in

the offense as simply an assault with
a deadly weapon, although in the in
formation a showing is made that the
assault is with intent to commit muir

Attorney Williams contends since the

BOARD OF TRADE TO
EXHIBIT IN PARADE
Membership Continues to Increase
Steadily and Another MONDAY
Luncheon Will Be Given
at an Early Date

PASADENA, Dec. 2-Direetors OF the
Pasadena board of trade this evening
decided to enter a handsome tallyho In
the great Tournament of Roses parade.
The tallyho win not be entered for
prize. as the directors feel that, as an
organization, the board could hardly
compete for honors with private in
dividuals and with boards of trades
and chambers of commerce from other
cities In addition the board will do
what it can to further the tournament
by practical cooperation.
1t was also decided that the success
of the last monday luncheon of the
board of trade had been such that an
other should be attempted on or about
December II. A committee consisting
of President E. r. off and Secretary A.
j. Bertonneau was named to take
charge OF this feature of the board
work.
Secretary Bertonneau presented for
the approval of directors the names of

high water mark. showing the steady
growth of the city, even during the

the contention has been made by DR..

to the health officer is unconstitutional.
In order to test the matter DR.. j. M.

THE OFFICIAL ORGAN.
A Rock Upon Which Organizations
Usually Split.

Generally speaking about the first
thing an organization does after it gets
charter is to provide itself with an
official organ" or, rather, it has IAN
organ" forced on it. If it survives the
official organ" period it bothers less
about "an organ" right along, especial
ly if it is of a character needing favors
from the press at large.
Owing to the pernacious activity Of
the organ and the time-servers close
to it the organization generally goes
dead about the time it finds out that
it does not need an "organ." Some
times it's demise is fastened by the in
difference, if not the opposition, of the
press at large, not participating in the
special support and special favors be-
slowed upon the special organ Many
examples of too much official organ
might be given. For instance, the
Texas Wool Growers Association
never held a meeting after it provided
itself with an official organ though it
was virile success prior to that time.
The Texas Live Stock Association
passed away very soon after its chief
promoters began to show favoritism TO
special journal and it's editor. The
Cattle Association of Texas, the most
successful organization of it's kind in
the country has no official organ, or If
it has one, does not bother much about
it.
There are at present more than one
organization suffering from too much
official organ. The official organ, be-
side being bad thing for the organ
ization, seems to be bad for the organ,
as the latter usually derives not much
more lasting good from the organiza-
ton than does the organization from
its organ for the reason, no doubt, that
they become tangled UP with each 9th
er in a way to hurt the influence Of
both. hope the Southwestern Farmer
is not the official organ of anything,
or, if it is, that it is like the little boy
working much at Southwestern
Farmer.
You are exactly right, Bro. Claridge,
as you generally are. Co-Operator edi-
tor has always been opposed to an "of-
fetal" organ. When the Texas State
Farmers Union was organized at
Mineola in February, 1904, a motion
was made to make the Mineola Cour-
Ter, paper Co-Operator editor was
then editing, the "official organ" of the
State Union. We took the floor and
prevented the passage Of the resolu-
ton for the identical reasons given
by our friend Claridge. We told The
convention that we needed the sup
pct of all the papers, and, that If we
would not establish an Official organ, .
we would get this support. We have
had this support all the time, and will
have it so long as the press is treated
right. When we fail to treat the press
right we will not have the support,
Tut rather, the press will be against
us, which will make it exceedingly
hard for US. Again, the National Farm
ers' Union at Little Rock last Septem-
Der, went squarely on record against
Official organs" either state or Ma
tienal.-National Co-Operator.
The Huttig news., 1908-04-18

Still the enemies of the Union are
telling of it's being trust. We do
not claim that it is or that it is not
trust We simply aim for it to help
the farmer to take care of himself in
his battle against the balance Of the
world. If somebody else's interests
happen to butt into the way of the
farmers getting what is coming to
him, it is the fault OF the butter-in.
and he must take care Of himself.

as you have no corn crib and smoke.

Get down to business, Mr.. Farmer,

hands this season. Have plenty Of
nice milk and butter, give the chick
ems attention and have eggs and fry
ers. Then look after the garden.
Don't go out and bed up few fur
rows and after planting variety of
seed expect good returns. 1t will re-
quire little work, but will pay. In
your garden have plenty of Irish po-
tatoes, beans, peas, radishes, turnips,
beets, squash, tomatoes; in fact, any
thing you like. Don't plant just once,
keep planting, and you will be sur
prised at the results. If you don't
live better and cheaper than ever be-
fore and have better health, it will be
a mystery.-Huntsville Post.
