Tho Inspiring Baapipes.

1t was at Il seaside resort. and along
the board walk came marching a band
of highland bagpipers in full costume.
They were tremendous fellows, but
their music. to my untutored ears, was
like the %squealings Of forty stuck pigs.
Vet I have heard strains to COM
pare with theirs for arousing a desire
to die for ones country. l think bag
pipe music must have been fashioned
back in the old days by some demon Of
pe~rversity out Of the whistle Of ar
rows. the clash of claymores, the neigh
ing of war steeds and the shrieks Of
the dying. When I hear it l think Of
the wheel Of fortune. the car Of Jug
gernaut. the mills Of the gods and the
inquisitorial rack and screw. It
whirls along with a cyclonic rhythm
that sets the feet to tramping and the
blood to boiling.-Robert NJ. Gay in A.

Poor Pickinos,

The new, boarder had never been on
a farm before. She was filed with in.
terest and delight in everything she
saw. On the morning after her ar
rival she saw Mrs. Howe apparently
picking berries from some pretty green
plants beyond the wall as she strolled
in the road.
Those are charming little plants.'
she said. pausing. with her eyes fixed
on Il pail which hung on Mrs. Howe's
arm. What kind of berries grow on
them? Does it take long to fll q pail
like that?
Mrs. Howe. looked down into the pail
with Il meditative air and answered
the second question.
Il should hope 'twould." she replied
what kind Of berries are they?''
persisted the young woman. II can't

she made another contribution to the

you will regain your hearing.
The resistance of the atmosphere is
fearful. The slightest forward move
ment is an effort. Distant objects
loom up suddenly before you and jump
by. The landscape Is a streaky line
Of green, blotched here and there as q
house is passed. The gale seems to
cut your face. and you feel yourself
being gradually 6attened out against
the back Of the seat. 1t seems that
the glass in your auto goggles is on
the point of breaking. Particles of
dust are driven back in your eyes. You
may become blinded. The vibration
of the engine is terrific. Mysterious

APPRECIATES GOOD SUBJECT

The following letter from William Bondies, of Durant, Oklahoma, is a sample of letters frequently received by the Imperial Valley Press.
 T have been reading your paper that I judge was sent to me at sug- gestion of former citizens of this place, MT. T. R. Landers. Hand you herewith $1.00 for renewal. Wish to express to you my high appreciation of an article that appeared in your issue of March 12, headed Imperial Valley, Land of Promise. The writer evidently had good subject, and in my opinion he handled it in a way difficult to surpass. I have read it three times, and enjoyed each reading. And I will now mail it to a friend in your state. As soon as I can arrange my affairs to do so, will visit your in teresting country"

I should be aiding us to get our water from the river to our lands. I believe each person should be the judge of how much water stock he should have. A great many things enter into the question of how much water he should have. A great many things enter into the question of how much water he should have for his land, such as the character of the soil and the kind of crops he intends to grow. have growing on my ranch 65,000 eucalyptus trees. do not need nor use as much as 2 acre feet ef water per year for these trees. but am compelled by my neighbors to pur- chase water stock for 4 acre feet. My netghbors are compelling me to pay double for my water stock without themselves gaining by so doing. Thousands of acres here are desert to- day that would be in paying crops if the stockholders of our company would allow each individual rancher his full acre feet per share to use as he sees fit.
 The stockholders of Imperial Water Company No have a contract with the c. D. Company to deliver them 100000 acre feet of water per year and they used only 212,OOO acre feet and never will have larger right until they actually use the water. Water Co. No. must demand of the c. D. Company the full 100000 acre feet of water and use it in order to acquire a water right for that amount. The man who has share of water stock for every acre he owns and only uses acre feet of water per year thinks he has a reserve of 2 acre feet, but if ever there comes shortage of water in the Colorado River the test will be "how much water did you use on your land" and not 'how much could you have used"
 Water stock and water right don't necessarily mean one and the same thing.

WATER STOCK AND
 WATER RIGHTS

To the Editor of The Press: Sir:
 Imperial Water Company No. 1 is supposed to be a mutual association of water users; a banding together of the individual settlers for the purpose of getting water from the Colorado River to irrigate their lands. If 1t were practicable to get water from the river to the land through private ditches, Water Company No. would not exist.
 Our water rights should begin at the river and not at the head gates Of Co. No. l, end the only business sf the entOers q Water Company No.

Cincinnati o. Especially - Con.
tracts have been signed by the terms
Of which Nine. Bernice de Pasquali,
the noted colorature soprano of the
Metropolitan Opera House. New
York, will create the title role in the
popular romantic opera which is to
be produced in connection with the
Ohio Valley Exposition, beginning
Aug. 20 and continuing for four
weeks. In securing Nine. De Pas
quail the Exposition management has
succeeded in bringing into the cast
the leading colorature soprano OF
America. she being generally conced-
ed to be the legitimate successor to
Nine. Carcella Sembrich in all roles
in the Metropolitan's operas. calling
for this unique and rather difficult
style of work. During the past sea
son Nine. De Pasquali has sung a
number of the roles made famous by
Nine. Sembrich. and in every in
stance she has been given the high
est praise for her magnificent voice,
her unusual technique, her dramatic
ability and her striking stage pres
ence. Nine. De Pasquali is an Amer
lean by birth, Boston being her home,
and it is in America that much of
her musical education was secured.
In engaging her for the leading role
of the opera, the management is fol-
lowing a plan of making this pure
ly American production from every
point Of view. The music is by
Pietro Florida, a composer whose
works are most favorably known in
this country and in Europe. The
book is the creation of Paul Jones
Cincinuatian, who has heretofore
been most successful in the writing
OF dramatic subjects that called for
elaborate production. All the roles in
the opera will be sung by Americans,
while the chorus, numbering several
hundred, will be recruited from
among the various singing societies
and choral organizations Of Cincin'

DIXIE FRUIT GROWERS
TO SEND EXHIBIT
South Preparing to Enter Into
Competition With North.

Cincinnati, o. (Special) - Fruit
growers of the South are preparing
to enter into active competition with
the horticulturists of the North in the
matter of displaying their products
at the Ohio Valley Exposition, to be
held in Cincinnati from Aug. 20 TO
Sept. "a During the past few years
the growing of fruits that were con-
sidered largely a northern product
has been taken up in the South, so
that this section now is in a position
to get into active competition with
It's rivals north of the Ohio and Po-
tomac rivers for business along these
lines. Particularly in the matter of
growing apples is the South forging
rapidly to the fore, the quantity ana
quality of this fruit produced in the
South showing a decided increase
yearly 1t is expected that Southern
fruit growers will have large exhibits
Of apples at the Exposition in con-
nection with the general display Of
Southern products, for which a sepa.
rate building will be provided.

PERFECT TEXTILE EXHIBIT AT
OHIO VALLEY EXPOSITION

Cincinnati, Especial Textile
manufacturers Of the South are
showing a decided interest in the
coming Ohio Valley Exposition, to be
held in this city from Aug. % to
Sept q, and which is designed TO
exploit the products. resources and
industries Of the Ohio Valley and the
entire South There is a conviction
among the textile manufacturers that
their goods have not been sufficiently
exploited in this section during the
past that the Ohio Valley goes
much farther and does not fare as
well in securing textiles as 1t might
do If it took advantage of the indus
tries lying practically at its doors.
For that reason the Southern textile
manufacturers are anxious to make
an extraordinary display of their
products, which, in every way, at
least equal those of other sections OF
the country farther removed from the
Ohio Valley. The display of textiles
from the South will be selected by a
special committee, representing the
various railroads OF the South, and
made up OF experts who will take
every opportunity Of making this fea-
ture one that will be a credit to the
textile industry of America In gem
eral, and the Southern manufacturers

in memory Of his father, John
Cleves Symmes, a short time before
the civil war. The elder Symmes
was the author of the remarkable
"Theory of Concentric Spheres,
Demonstrating That the Earth Is
Hollow, Habitable Within and
Widely Open at the Poles" He
was nephew of the first landlord
of the country that runs along the

Symmes first announced his "dis-

well written brochure he asked for

delivering a series of lectures,
Symmes requested congress for o

they arrived at a latitude of 80 de-

his calculations were correct.
