county now between S450,000 and
100000 annually, it serves to show
what vast wealth Mobile county has
in the development and cultivation of
her cutover pine lands, and other
lands which at present lie uncultIyat-
ed. There should be a united effort
made to bring to this county immigra-
tion to settle on these lands and reap
the inevitable rewards of industry
intelligently directed. Good roads are
a very important factor in conjunc-
ton with farming, which should not
be overlooked.
Mr. Quina felt confident that with
the proper encouragement of farmers
to till these lands that within a few
years the value of the agricultural
products Of the soil of Mobile county
would mount into the millions of dol
lars, and practically every dollar OF
this would be spent at home, enrich.

Rostand's Analysis of His Critics.

Rostand's Analysis of His Critics.
To those who read between the lines
in his first act of ''Chantecler," print
ed in the June issue of Hampton S
Magazine, will be found what is un-
doubtedly Rostand's sly dig at his
critics.
1t will be remembered that after the
presentation and popularity Of "Cyra-
no de Bergerac,' Rostand was the
center of bitter critical fight among
various factions in Paris. So terrific
was the onslaught at the time that
Rostand, who is physically very del
icate man, went into a nervous de-
cline and for long time it was
thought he might die.
Here is the significant passage in
which the conspirators against the
Cock tell why they do not like him:
The Owl-Thanks! But how is it
that you are with US?
The Cat-Ah, night brings out what
daylight will not own to! l do not
like the Cock because the Dog does.
There you have it!
The Turkey do not like him for
the reason that having known him as
a Chick cannot admit him as a Cock
A Duck-I do not like the Cock be.
cause, not being web-footed, he marks
his passage by a track Of stars.
A Chicken do not like the Cock
because I'm such homely bird!
Another Chicken do not like the
Cock because he has his picture
painted in purple on all the plates.
Another Chicken do, not like the
Cock because on all the steepIes he
has his statue in gilt bronze!

The Messenger Boys Handicap.


The service is as ruinous to the
boys material welfare as it is to HIS
morals. There is little future in the
night messenger service, and the boys
practically all leave it-most of them
charged-because thek work they
have been forced to do has made them
undependable, says Leroy Scott, in an
article on THE Evils of the Night
Messenger Service" in Success Maya
zine" Many a boy finds himself in
the predicament Of the young fellow
who said, Il threw up my job half a
dozen times, but always got restless
after / had been on day jobs for a
while, and l quit and came back again
to the messenger service. But that
don't pay enough for me, now that I've
grown up, and since l don't know any
trade / somehow don't seem to get
started"
A few of the boys, to be sure, do
make success in life: classic illus
tration is the head of one of the tele-
graph companies, who began life as a
messenger. But the successes are few
indeed. The night messenger service
does not fit the boys for the work they
take up later; rather, every influence
contrlves to render them unfit. 1T
makes it harder for boy to get on
than not after he leaves the service"
Il haven't learned thing, except may
be something hadn't ought to know"
This is the common testimony of the
boys. So when they get new jobs
they have to begin at the very begin
ming; begin at the very point where
they would have begun had they
taken this job when they first went to
work, which makes the period of their

DEATH OF MRS. J. F. TOUT
Community ssddened by Passing of One of Imperial Valleys
 Pioneer Women.

Mrs. Ida Tout, wife of Judge J. F. Tout, died at her home in El Centro on Sunday, March 26, after an illness of only a few days. Her illness was not considered serious until within a short time before her death.
 Mrs. Tout leaes family of four children and was the step mother of Otis B. Tout. editor of the Calexico Chronicle. and Miss Abbie Tout, of this city. She was in her forty sixth year.
 Mrs. Tout was one of the best known women in Imperial Valley. She was married to J. F.

Her husband was pastor of the Christian Church at Imperial, the first church in Imperial Valley, and soon after the this city, and Mrs. Tout for some time engaged in the millinery business here. She was always active in church work, and until short time before here death was president of the Fl Centro Womans Christian Temper ance Union. She was also one of the officers of the Imperial County W. c. T. U., and was active in the wo- mems club work of this city.
 The funeral services were held in the Holt Opera House on Tuesday af- ternoon. This was probably the most largely attended funeral service ever held in Imperial Valley. The busi- ness places of Fl Centro closed during the afternoon in memory of the de- ceased, and the opera house was filled with friends of the bereaved family.
 Services were conducted by Rev. Sumner T. Martin, minister of the Christian Church, assisted by Rev. R. L. Glasby, of Heber, and Rev. D. K. Burnham, pastor of the Fl Centro Methodist Church. Members of the Sunday School classes in which Mrs. Tout had taken particular interest sang several selections and Miss Jean Sloan of Imperial, sang solo, Twill There be Any Stars in My Crown?" The address was made by MT. Martin, who paid a glowing tribute to the unsel- fish and helpful life of Mrs. Tout and to her influence for good in this val ley.
 Many beautiful floral pieces were sent by various valley organizations and by individuals. The body was in tered in the Imperial cemetery.
