CHEAT THE GARBAGE CAN.

What is the garbage worth before
it becomes garbage?
Taking an inventory of almost any
body's can, we VIII find that it con-
tains legitimate spoils.
We will pobably discover three or
four baked potatoes. or some which
have been mashed or escalloped. And
potatoes are $1.0O bushel.
AS TO bread, that does certainly fill
w a garbage can in a shocking man
ner. 1t won't hide itself by mixing
up with other things. Six Parker
House rolls stare at us. They dried
up and had TO be thrown away. They
cost cents, we remember. Then there
is a half loaf of bread, 3 cents; French
bread will grow stale over night we
explain to our conscience; and we try
not to see the many pieces OF cold
toast
But these are inexpensive trines
compared TO what comes next For
behold the tails OF two porterhouse
steaks, paid for at the rate of % cents
per pound; and the end of a boiled
BAN, 10 cents per pound; and part of
mat leg of lamb which cost Sl85.
That was sheer carelessness, we adj
init. We simply forgot it was in the
zee chest and ordered fresh beef from
The market. BY the time we remem-
bered the lamb it was too old to use.
Perhaps not all of these things are
TO be found at the same time in every
garbage can. But il is a pitiful truth
that many cans would offer a much
more shameful tale.
The woman who does her own work
isn't always more careful than the
hired cook when it comes to the handy
process of dumping out" the left
overs. And all of them might once
Fave been made into attractive dishes
The baked potatoes could have been
creamed, a half cupful OF grated cheese
added, put into buttered bake dish
and baked 90 minutes.
The mashed potatoes could have
been used as croquets with the cooked
tails OF steaks chopped fine, and
one egg.
The end OF boiled ham could have
been ground. mixed with cream sauce
the cold toast dipped into the mixture
10 heat and soften it, and the whole
served on a deep platter garnished
with sliced hard-boled eggs.
The leg OF lamb would have been
delicious served cold in thin slices
with mint sauce.

"HJMlN HEARTS"

Any play that teaches great
moral lesson is bound to do good to
community. Some of the greatest
sermons ever preached against evil
deeds and association are embodied
i'm th' plays of the stage. The lesson
of life is presented TO the listener
in a way that makes an impression
on the mind and gives him food for
thought. While the spectator is list
cning TO the text of the play, his
visual sense is being attracted by
seeing the scenes enacted before his
eyes, that are being described in the
words to which he is listening.
In such play as Human Hearts,
which will be shown at the Elks
opera house, Saturday September is,
he contrast between virtue and vice
is sharply drawn. The author has
not minced matters i'm drawing his
characters. and as the Incidents Of
The play are based on real occur
enccs, he has not had to draw upon
his Imagination to invent motive
for Human Hearts"
The characters of "Jcanncttc and
Frederick Armsdalc," in Human
Hearts" should be carefully studied
by every one. We meet their proto-
types in daily life in nearly all large
communities. How often do we see
men and women who, with all the
advantages of education, comforta-
bic homes. and the loving care Of
parents and fria nds, still go astray,
and sink lower and lower in the So
cial scales, until they reach the low
est depths Of degradation We meet
them every day.
Another novel character drawing
in this play is that of "Jem Mason;
ID man born amidst the lowest sur
roundinss, with no advantage in
early life, knowing nothing of the
difference between right and wrong:
a criminal because he. has had no op-
portu1ities to be anything else. But
here is character that conspires to
better things. The inherent instinct
TO raise himself above the level Of
his surroundings is lying dormant.
but when the realization Of the diff
ference between right and wrong is
brought home to him, he chooses the
proper path

way. Wouldn't a few thousand look good?

Had you noticed what a great improvement there was in our boys in Prescott within the last few years, how our graduating classes in school were now about equally divided among the boys and girls? A few years since 1t was about one boy to ten girls in our graduating classes. Our boys have tabooed beer drinking, rowyism and wild oat sowing and you can find them at Sunday school and church. What a cause for thankfulness is this! Let the good work go on.

We want it distinctly under stood that this paper is a friend to the laboring class of this coun- try, be he farmer or other kind of laborers, and we have again and again opened the columns of the Picayune to any farmer that may wish to write upon any subject that would interest that class. When we say that we are friend to the labor ing class we do not want it understood that we are an enemy to any other legitimate business, for we believe there is too much animosity stirred up now be- tween the towns and the country. We are one of those that believe that one is necessary to the other and that both should be bound with closer ties of friend ship and business relations. We do not believe that any man that will go about over the coun try arraying the farmers against the town people is any friend to the people that he clai ms so much to love-the farmer. We intend d to have a complete write-up of the Farmers Union meeting at Rosston last week but depended upon some one else to get 1t for us and all we got was a premise. We are anxious to give all the news that is of any benefit to the farmers in regard to their meet ings but we sometimes depend upon others to help us get the data and when they fail we are not altogether to blame. How ever, we do not intend to depend upon the same source in the future.

FOR THE WOMAN WHO WORKS

It is just as creditable to sell your time and skill as it is to sell merchandise, and the selling should be conducted along busi' ness lines. When you buy a pound of anything, you expect to get sixteen ounces; when you buy a quart, the quantity expect ed is two pints. So, when sell ing your labor, you are expected to do so much, or so many hours work for a certain amount of money, or other amount of re- muneration. If the grocer gives you short-weight or scant measure, you say he is dishonest;

if you chip your day at either end, an hour here, or a few minutes there, or take your ease tween whiles," are you not dishonest, too? The wage may be paid you without comment, but you do not always get en- ployment again in the same place, if there is anyone else to be had. A working woman, seamtress, housekeeper, laun- dress, clerk, or in other lines which are open to women, should adhere rigidly to her hours; she should do her best for the regu- lar salary or wage, and should charge for every extra hour, fill ing to the fullest her every duty. Such a person is always in de- mand, and if there is any work to do, she is sure of a favorable chance at it. It is such women who keep the work given to them, even in slack times, and others are being laid off" she is not in constant fear of being turned down.

the we'll take it and pay for 1t if the experiment proves successful.
 Mir Holt said it would not do to drill at random, because geologists had traced sandstone dyke along the strike of the Superstition hills and believed it useless to try for ar tesian water north of that dyke, which probably passes between Imperial and El Centro.
 City Attorney Conkling said the well experiment and the general wat Ner question could not be submitted separately at the same election. He declared his confidence in the success of a search fore artesian water, and debate developed general agreement with his view of the desirability of an attempt to find water better than that in the canals of the valley.
 The meeting adopted resolution requesting the City Trustees to con- fer with the Supervisors concerning arrangements for cooperation in the well experiment.
 MT. Holts offer to the city was ex- plained He offers for S10,0O0 the ex- isting waterworks, including real es- tate and 120 shares of water stock. The distributing system is appraised by him at nothing. The land is val ued at $SOOO and the water slocK at $2500 or $300O. Mir Holt said he would prefer to keep the property, but would sell 1t if the city needed. it. If the city does not want the settling basins and adopts plan that does not re- quire ownership of water stock, it may take the pipe system and use it as it pleases for nothing.
 The discussion covered wide range and brought out the views of citizens on all phases of the water question. Ii developed the fact that the city's present bond capacity is $147,000, of which S40,000 has been issued
 On motion of MT John Norton the requested the standing con- mittees of the Chamber of Commerce to select five citizens as an advisory board in response to the request of the City Trustees for the assistance of such a body. It was the sense of the meeting that the advisory board shall take steps to ascertain the ODin- ion of the majority of Fl Centro's citizens as to the advisability of sink ing a well to determine the question of the existence of an artesian plane.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
Plans for a New System 0is- cuSSed in Mass Meeting
 by EI Centro Citizens

El Centros projected water system was discussed at a general meeting of citizens in the Palm roof garden last Thursday night There was no difference of opinion as to the desira- bility of obtaining better water and more of it, but some of the citizens questioned the expediency of sinking an experimental well on the long chance of striking an artesian plane in this part of the valley. There was some debate also concerning the com parative merits or demerits of the Date canal and the Brawley main as sources of supply.
 George A. Carter presided at the meeting and Lewis Havermale acted as secretary Mayor Pearson and the City Engineer explained the city's sit uation in the matter of water supply and outlined plans of the proposed new system.
 The plans provide for pumps, res SINOllS, plGooulG 1nO uioIl lbu- ting system adequate to the needs of a city of 5000 people and covering the territory bounded by the railroad, Or ange avenue, Date Canal and Railroad avenue, with extensions to the hospi- tai and east of the track. Using cast iron pipe throughout, the estimatet <1fa ic eo6 TE0 xx-Hin irol 91A 900 for the real estate and water stock of the present system and S10,000 for an experimental well. By using rivetted steel pipe for the smaller laterals, the cost would be reduced to $76,000 Pipe from the Brawley main would cost s12,O00 more and me- chanical filter. which is admitted to be a dubious protection, would add another s5000 to the expense. The proposed reservoir would store 3.000,- GOO gallons or 90 days supply. W. F. Holt and others who have had ex- perience condemned rivetted steel pipe for use in this region and ar 6ueu Jidl lu0 1lSu0T COSt Ol CdSI- iron pipe would be true economy
 The City Engineer said the test well was designed to reach depth of 1400 feet with a casing of not less than eight inches diameter, and we'll drillers had agreed to do the work un- der bond and deliver to the city a finished well of that depth for s10,- 900. If water should be obtained at less depth. the cost would be less.
 Phil D. Swing doubted the wisdom of trying for artesian water and sug- gested that the experiment be separ- ated from the main water system in the submission of the bond question to vote. He also urged that an ar- tesian experiment. would be of gen. eral value to the county and that the supervisors be asked to put down a well anywhere In the county with the understanding that the city nearest
