COTTON BALE IN SAN DIEGO.

The first bale of cotton. from the 1910 crop of cotton produced in the Imperial valley has arrived in San Diego, and is exhibited in the chamber of commerce rooms. The bale weighs about 400 pounds and is valued at approximately $72. It has been pre- sented to the chamber of commerce by the growers, Loftus Brothers of Imperial Valley. That the Imperial Valley is destined to be cotton growing center of great importance is universally conceded by experts who have acquainted themselves with con- ditions there, says the Upion. For the season of 1909, 500 acres of cot ton land were cultivated. During the coming year not less than 16,000 acres will be under cultivation.

YUMA 10 THE GULF
Concession For Railroad Through
 Mexico to Tide Water.

According to a Tucson dispatch in the Yuma Sun, Antonio Lozano, Mex ican Consul at Los Angeles, Is inter- ested in the construction of a railroad from Port Isabel on the Gulf of California to the Mexican line at a point just below Yuma. He has ob- tained from the Mexican government a right of way concession in Mexico for the construction of the railroad which will be about 80 miles in length from Puerto Isabel to the international boundary. MT. Lozano is negotiating with capitalists for. the building of the road, and is also taking up the mat ter of securing right of way from the boundary line to Yuma where the railroad is proposed to connect with the Southern Pacific.
 The line of the proposed railroad lies closely beside the Colorado river and traverses what is considered an excellent agricultural country thro- ughout its entire length.
 The line, it is believed, will act as a feeder to the Southern Pacific.

THE 5AccHANALlAN BEE.

Those iconoclasts and image break |Ers, the trustees of the United States Brewers Association, declare that:
 "The whole vegetable world is in a conspiracy against the prohibitionist. The bees become intoxicated with the distillation of the honeysuckle and even the ants wobble in their walk after they have, feasted upon the overripe fruit fallen from the tree, which has started a natural fermen- tation."
 O tempora! The ant which has been neld up as shining light since the days of King Solomon And that the beehive. which has been regarded as a model industrial establishment, should be after all bacchanalian rathskeller where the queen topples on her throne and her subjects drink until they are dizzy What would Isaac Watts say were that rimelet of his to be revised
 How doth the little boozy bee
 Improve each shining hour
 With deep potations day by day

Ned did as his brother suggested and
sprang from the gate to Whitefoot's
back. But hardly had he got astride
the little animals back than he found
himself floundering in the soft grass
of the lot. "Gee!" he exclaimed, ris-
ing on his elbow. THAT was sudden!"
Joe held Whitefoot in check and
turned round to see what the damage
to his brother amounted to. Are you
hurt?" he called out.
We'll, 1 haven't had time to ex-
anime myself yet" declared Ned, now
sitting up and rubbing the dust from
his face. II may have a dozen broken
ribs or "a split nose for all 1 know.
You see, struck the ground so quick
ly-and unexpectedly-that 1 don't
know what the wreckage amounts to

ing Ned got to his feet and felt of
his ribs, and nose and legs, while Joe
laughed at the spectacle. Say, you
do look funny" said Joe. Suppose
you get in the saddle and let me take
the rear this time"
That's what intend doing" grinned
Ned. Truth is l have had all l want
of riding behind for little while. I'm
all knocked up" And he rubbed his
elbos and back. "I hit some pretty hard
places just then"
Joe dismounted and Ned climbed
into the saddle Then he rode to the
gate where Joe prepared to mount be

Ned reined whitefoct closer to the
gate and Joe prepared to mount
whoa, fellow" said Joe, in friendly
tone, stroking Whitefoot's back. Whoa,
I'm going to get on now, so stand still,
old boy"
Then he quickly and lightly leaped
across Whitefoot's back, grasping
around Neds waist at the same instant.
But the moment he threw himselI
across Whitefoot's back he experienced
the sensation of whirling high in air,
like circus acrobat, and of going
quickly to earth, hitting spot as hard
as the one Ned had gone to wreck upon
q few minutes before.
Ned ierked on the reins and brought
Whitefoot to a standstill; but the nne
young animal was all a-quiVer. Ineh

But you gave him fair warning"
said Ned, trying to restrain another
volley of laughter. You didn't take
him unawares as I did. So that's
why he tossed you higher than he did
me: he had more time to gather
strength for the work. oh, there's
nothing like preparing for a kicker"
Lay it on, MacDuff," said Joe. Then

Toe and Ned were twin brothers.
They attended the country fair
with their father and mother, and
while there their father bought for
them a beautiful young horse-a two
year-old that had taken a blue ribbon.
The animal was beautifully built, and
MIR. Jones. father of Ned and Joe, de-
clared he'd grow into a fast trot-
ter if rightly trained.
On the way home the twins decided
on a name for their new horse. They
would call him Whitefoot, for each of
his four feet were white as the driven
snow. The remainder of him was
dark chestnut brown, and his coat was
as sleek as a ribbon, so to say.
THE only objection l have is that
there is only one of him." said Joe.
I'VE ought to have a pair of him, for
only one of us can ride at a time"
Wen break him to carry double"
said Ned. "I've seen lots of colts no
bigger than he carrying double. Well
make him worth while"
"Oh, l hadn't thought of that" said
Joe. "Yes, that's a good idea. Well
break him in to carry double. And

saddle First I'll ride in front and you
behind Then We'll reverse the order
of things"
So it was arranged before Whitefoot
had been in their possession two hours
that he should be broken to carry
double" which meant that both boys
intended riding on his back at the
same time-one in the saddle and the
other behind him. But the boys had
not yet gotten acquainted with White
foot nor learned his determined will.

broken bones. Got any splinters

Ned. turning about to display his back
to his brother. 1T feels as though my
backbone had been split from end to
end, and that pieces of 1t are sticking
out through my shirt"
mo, / didn't notice anything wrong"
said Ned, dismounting and tying
Whitefoot to the gatepost. But If
your skeleton feels as badly shaken
up after the toss in air as much as
mine does you're ready to say quits
and be content to ride single. 1 know
l am"
"Yep, guess Wen have to take turns
about riding Whitefoot, for he seems
to have taken dislike to carrying
double. And I guess he's right after
all, for one man on a horses back is
enough at time. So let's not try
riding two at time. I've always
heard that a spirited horse won't carry
double And we've had proof today
that Whitefoot is spirited"

Ned, feelingly.

my weight hit him l hit the ground.
So be careful"
Joe was careful. He patted and
rubbed Whitefoot, speaking gently to
him. The little animal seemed in the
best of humor and stood with his head
down as If browsing. But there was
determination in his eye, which went
unnoticed by the twins. After Joe had
talked reassuringly to Whitefoot he
leaned across his back, not yet getting
perfectly quiet "Ah, you see where
you made the mistake, Ned, was in
mounting too quickly. You want to
give him time to think over the stu
alton. You jumped on without warn
ing him of your intention. You see an
animal-especially a horse-is very
nervous and easily frightened, and
your leaping on so quickly caused him
to resent it, and the result was he
tossed you off at once. Now, you see
I am lying across his back and he
makes no objection"
maybe getting on will prove diff
ferent," suggested Ned. Suppose you
try it now. 1 think he's been fairly
warned"
IAN right" said Joe. Bring him

Only a young horse he was, but he had
a notion of justice in many things,
particularly in matters pertaining to
himself. This had not been counted
on by Joe and Ned.
The next day after leading White
foot home from the county fair Joe
and Ned went into the horse lot and
bridled him. He had been broken to
the saddle, but had not been ridden
very much as yet as his former owner
had been anxious to let him grow
strong and shapely before burdenlng
him with a heavy load.
Now, we'll put on the saddle" said
joe "Then III get on first and ride
about the lot to get him accustomed to
his new surroundings and rider. Then
you'll get on behind me-"
"All right" agreed Ned. SAY, he
doesn't mind the saddle at all, does
he?" This remark was made as Joe
frightened up the saddle girth. Il be-
lieve he's going to carry double all
right, all right"
Then Joe mounted Whitefoot and
galloped around the lot. Hes as
easy as cradle" he cried, refining in
toward the fence gate. Here, Ned,

SUGGESTIONS TO JUNIORS

q CHOOL must have some attention,
and I realize as we'll as you do
~ that you all have many things
to do and to think about now that final
examinations are drawing near. How
ever, I must say that 1 do feel rather
badly about the way the boys and
girls have treated the Current Topics
matter. Perhaps it was the fault of
the topics-let us hope so-although
they We're selected after much thought
and with every hope of their success,
and each one would have been helpful
and beneficial to study.
This much is to be said about them.
Unless the boys and girls of the high
school and eighth grades show de-
cided and immediate change in their
work in this department it will be dis
continued and something of more gen.
eral interest substituted in its place.
You can all write about the division
of the state. 1t ought to mean a
great deal to you ALL Many of the
boys expect to be property owners some
day. They know whether or not they
would rather own property in a divided
state or in California big as 1t is now.
Do you think real estate would be
more valuable if the state were di-
vided? Would taxes be lower, i'm
provements more general and business
helped or hindered in any way? All
these things are questions which men
must consider when preparing to vote
q the Junior
boys and girls think of 1t bit now.
Perhaps the boys will not take so
much interest in writing about the
Queen of the May, but 1 am sure that
all the girls will enjoy writing about
this May day topic, just as all the boys
and girls ought to enjoy the picturing
of the May-day queen. The artists
have been resting up a bit too much
lately, too, and l perceive that the in
stallation of the beach trip prizes will
be a welcome change and will afford for
you all much renewed zeal in your
contest work. Members of the young
artists contest will notice this week
that we have substituted the beautiful
Herald Junior pennants for prizes in
this drawing contest. There were two
reasons for making this change.
One was that many of the prize
winners seemed to prefer these PEN
nants, especially after they saw them,
and the other reason was that so many
of the more persistent boys and girls
win the first and second prize over and
over again, that I thought it would be
better to give them something now be-
side fountain pens. So far the change
has met with general appreciation.
The members of the various parent
teacher committees are planning good
times for you all on May day, and L
am sure that the week ending April
30 will be a happy one for most of the
boys and girls of Herald Juniordom
and that they will be glad to write
and tell the less fortunate readers of
this little paper all about their pros
pective good times.
Speaking of good times, I can prom
se you all some this summer. AL
ready 1 am making plans that will
give those of you who thought last
summer pleasant much more to enjoy
this year. and to make you happy to
sign yourselves one of the loving
nephews or nieces of your loving,
