none of these cats could be saved it
would be the greatest marine disaster

In past years about the only exhibit from the Creighton district has been made by the orange growers and Munger Bros olive oil plant. This is all right as far as it goes. but most people know what our groves can produce. so let us show them that we can raise other products as well. While we do not believe in creating sectional feeling. it occurs to us that 1t would be a good plan if our district could arrange for a separate booth, in which could be displayed good samples of products grown here. The idea. if carried out, would at least encourage the making of greater display. and perhaps other districts would follow our example, and our valleys agricultural resources would be better represented than in past years.

Creighton, Oct. 8.-While seated at the supper table last Saturday even ing, Mrs w. F. Mathers was stung by scorpion. The insect stung her three times on the fore part of the ankle before 1t could be dislodged. Home remedies were applied to the wounds and, though painful. little att tention was paid to the matter until few hours later when she began to grow weak, at the same time exper fencing a peculiar prickling sensation in the hands and feet. A physician was summoned and medicine was given all Saturday night and Sunday. though not until Tuesday was Mrs. Mathers able tO leave her bed. The sting of the small scorpion Is not often considered at all serious, but the larger ones some times prove fatal if 9 large bloodvessel is punctured. their poison seeming to numb or paraliZe the nerves and causing the limbs to feel as though the blood had stopped circulating The sensation. Mrs. Mathers says. is awful. and had it not been for the pricking of the flesh she would not have known her limbs possessed life at all
