Visit the School.

Every member of community, es- pecialiy every parent, should take q deep interest in the public school. It is not enough to pay your school tax without complaining, or to know that the teachers are qualifed; nor is it even enough to keep your children in school regularly. If yoH are really in- terested in the subject as you should be, you should visit the school regular ly and persistently. Few persons have idea what an incentive it is to both teacher and scholar to know that pa rents and outsiders are taking a lively

Ancient Jokes About Yuma's Heat
 Must Cease

The following circular has been sent out by the Southern Pacific Company and fully ex' plains itself;
 San Francisco, Cal, Nov. To- Conductors and Agents: Within 8 radius of thirty miles from are perhaps a half million acres of as fertile land as there is in America.
 The government is spending several million dollars impound. ing water to irrigate a large part of this land. Other millions have been expended to make fertile the Imperial valley, a part of this same section, all having the same source of fertility-the silt laden Colorado river.
 Within a few years this will be one one of the most thickly pop ulated and intensively cultivated regions of the United States, with soil of extraordinary fertil- ity and depth, with unexcelled water supply, bearing with it alluvial deposits constantly re- newing the land. and with eli mate entirely favorable to the growth of vegetation, insuring early and large crops and crops in great variety, ranging from hogs and alfalfa to oranges and cotton. There can be no ques- tion as the transformation this whole region is to undergo.
 In this connection our atten- tion is directed to the thought. less and common observation made about the intense heat of Yuma, which as a matter of fact Is no more marked and is far less oppressive than that of many other sections of the United States.
 Joking remarks of this nature are, however, not only annoying to the people trying to develop this land of great possibilities, but positive and serious de- traction, no matter how good humoredly or how thoughtlessly made.
 Your cooperation is earnestly solicited in creating for Yuma and the section thereabout the reputation it is entitled to for being region unexcelled in ag- ricultural and horticultural ad- vantages and possessed of many other attractions, and to do away with the needless and unjust ref erence and ancient climatic jokes which might we'll have been for gotton long ago.

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE.

Mr.. Ogle b. Cundiff died on the
twenty-third of April, in the sixty
second year of his age Our dear and
only brother has left US, and our hearts
are sad indeed; but we mourn not as
those who have no hope, for we feel
that he is now with loved ones in the
spirit land. But it grieves our hearts SO
much to know that we could not be
with him in the dying hour-not even a
loving hand to press the throbbing brow.
But Jesus was with him, and .'He can
make dying bed feel soft as downy
pillows"
Our dear brother was Christian
from early boyhood, and a member OF
the Baptist church. He was always
a true gentleman, a dutiful son,
and kind, affectionate brother. We
pray that God will heal the wounded
hearts, make US submissive to His will
and prepare us to meet our loved ones
in the happy land.
Dearest brother. thou hast left us,
Gone to join the angel band,
With the loved ones gone before thee
In that bright and better land
