Brother Lee Shippey of the
Higginsville Jeffersonian has us
distanced in one respect, He
can write any amount of rhyme
about his town. Higginsville
fits nicely in iambic and trochaic
meter and rhymes with till, will,
distil, ill, pill, drill, kill, spill,
swill and quite a number of
other good English words. But
Lexington is a tough word for
the versifer. 1t can go only
into dactyl or anapaest, which
are hard to grind out, and it
can not come at the end of a line,
because it rhymes with nothing.
We could, of course, corrupt it's
sound by putting an accent on
its last syllable and torture the
public with something like this:
If you want to have some fun
Come to good old Lexington
There's the place to get your bun.
But we are afraid we could
not get away with it.

Some farmers oppose good
roads because they will be the
cause of many more automobiles
coming into the country to scare
the horses. But if the roads
are put in good condition every
farmer can soon afford an auto,
mobile of his own.

PLANTING SUGAR eEETs

Imperial Valley settlers who are looking forward to the time when the raising of sugar beets will be an i'm portant industry here, will be glad to learn that seven thousand acres have been contracted by the ranch CTS of the Salt River Valley, Arizona, for sugar beets this season, and that the planting there is from October to January IS, so as to assure the growers the largest yield and de- livery of the crop in cool weather. The estimate for Salt River Valley is that early plant ed beets, well tended, should pro duce not less than fifteen tons per acre and from that up to twenty five tons per acre.

 FOR TRIAL RUN TODAY
Machinery at Cotton Gin In FL Centro Will Be Put Through Initial
 Performance.

The cotton gin machinery has been in place for several days but, the de- lay in receiving the motor has made it rather awkward for the American Nile Cotton Company The trouble is about to be overcome, however, by the Holton Power Company's timely assistance. This company has con- sented to have one of their big 1OO- horse power motors moved from the ice plant to the building of the cot ton gin, and it Is expected to have it in place and ready for action by today, when it is hoped the trial ruin of the gin wifi be made, and it is expected that those who are inter- ested i'll the cotton industry will be present to see the first bale of cot ton baled in the Imperial Valley. A telegram has been sent to J. R.. Loftus in Los Angeles, and he will come from there today. A bale of the first ginning will be sent to the Los Angeles Chamber of Com merce, there to be exhibited as one of the chief products of this fertile valley. Arrangements have also been made with the cotton mills at >Oak- land whereby a bale of the first gin. ming will be made up into towels and the entire lot will be put on exhi- bition in the show windows of Bul- locks dry goods store in Los Ange- les. This procedure on the part of the Los Angeles merchant will cre- ate wide spread comment and will advertise the fact that we can raise cotton here in the valley, and that the cotton is of first class quality, as nothing else would do and the bale of cotton in the Chamber of Commerce building will be demonstration to the visitors there not likely to be soon forgotten,
 Cotton picking is steadily going on throughout the cotton growng dis tricts. Estimates from the Meloland districts indicate that the cotton will gin out at least one and one third bales to the acre, If not better. This estimate, it is said, is made upon the poorest piece of cotton in the entire district. And from nearly every field comes the same encouraging reports

Robert E. Walker who says he was formerly superintendent of schools at Yuma, and who has held responsible positions in the schools of Oklahoma, has surrendered to the authorities at Denver, declaring that he would rath- CT be in the penitentiary than alone with his conscience outside of prison walls. Walker disappeared two years ago, deserting his wife and six child ren and taking with him young school teacher of Oklahoma. He was short in his school accounts about S400.
