WHAT JOHNSON REPRESENTS.

Some of the supporters of Mir. Bell are anxious to know why the election of MT. Bell would be national calam- ty This question Is answered by William Allen White. Mir White says:
 With all due respect to the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor, this important fact should not be forgot ten: every reactionary in the United States would throw up his hat at Johnson's defeat They would no care so much for the election Of Bell, but the place where Johnson fell would be marked by the reactionaries in Wall Street and in every American state to show that the independent voters will not stay with a man who promises to stay with them. The de- feat of Johnson would spell defeat for the progr essive cause not only in Cal ifornia, but all over the United States, and the Democrat who would take a little petty party advantage to stop in the Republican party movement that promises so much for good gov

WANTEO.'-A LEGISLATOR
Imperial County Voters Have oppor. tunity to Perform Important Duty

Imperial County needs a reprcsen- latiNe in the State Legislature in order that matters affecting the interests of the valley settlers may be pr6seute ed intelligently, adequately and to some purpose. The settlers may find it necessary to ask for notifications of the irrigation law, and they should have in Sacramento a man who can tell the Legislature what they want and why their requests should be granted.
 Two years ago, San Diego County agreed that Imperial County should have the Assemblyman this time. but a San Diego County man is a candidate for the place again. Many of the voters of that county recognize the iustness of Imperial Countys demand for representation, and will supporl our candidate H. ]. Messinger of Holtvile.
 Mir. Messinger's party affiliations have nothing to do with the case. He is a candidate only because Imperial County should be represented. and he is an active. energetic, experienced business man, well qualified to dis charge the duties of an Assemblyman Every citizen of the county, regardless of party should vote for the Imperial Valley man. His name will be found in the middle of the second column of the county ticket, and it should be the especial care of every voter to find the name and place cross against it. That is the way to place Imperial County upon the map of the State. 30-2t

A con- siderable amount of the stock has been sold to business men of that town. and the concern has strong financial backing.

HERRIN MACHINE FOR BELL.

The Republican State Central Con- mittee asserts that Walter Parker, the Southern Pacific Political agent in Southern California is actively at work in behalf of Bell; that the organ of the Herrin interersts-the San Francisco Post-is making every eff fort in its power to elect Bell and is making the most outrageous and men, dacious attacks upon Johnson: that Jere Burke, the Southern Pacific po- litical agent in Northern California, is actively at work for Bell: that Frederic Mahl Assistant to Vice Pres ident Kruttschnitt, a former resident of Sacramento, is at present in Cali fornia making the rounds of the rail- road offices and telling his friends the Southern Pacific is for Bell; that every paid agent of the Southern Pa cific-big and little-is actively work ing in Bells behalf.

Speaking broadly, long winged birds
are strong and swift iiers; short

When we consider that a cumbrous
slow moving bird like the heron moves
Its wings twice per second when In

have a very rapid wing movement.
Most small birds have this rapid

of flight. The common wren and the
dipper. for instance. have a fight like
that of young bird.
Many Of our smaller migrants seem
but to fit from bush to bush or from
tree to tree. Members Of the thrush
family are low fliers, the blackbird in
particular. with its hasty, hurried
flight, often just avoiding fences and
no more. Wagtails have q beautiful
undulating fight with little apparent
use of their wings. They look like
greyhounds bounding through the air.
Nearly all birds sail or float occa-
sionally without the slightest move
ment OF their wings. Even a large
bird like pheasant will glide I'm this
way for more than two hundred yards.
Grouse have n rapid wing motion
without any great speed, but when
they sail, coming down with the wind.
as they prefer to do, they go very fast.
Before alighting they flap their wings
several times very rapidly, like the
clapping of hands. Most birds after
gliding do this. Does it correspond to

The "Cheshire Cheese1

We are often told that the Cheshire
Cheese was one of Johnson's haunts.
We are told that Johnson's chair Is
preserved In that tavern and that q
brass plate marks his favorite seat.
The stories concerning Johnson's asso-
citation with the Cheshire Cheese are
all moonshine. There is no reason
whatever for believing that he ever en-
tered the door of that tavern, and
there Is not a single reference to the
Cheshire Cheese in Boswell or I'm any
volume Of Johnsoniana. These fc-
lions really originated some sixty
years ago in joke played of by Al
bert Smith for the benefit of some
credulous Americans and country Wis
itors whom he found at the Cheshire
cheese one day. The then proprietor
was clever enough to see that the
Johnson romance might be probably
utilized. and certainly the most has
been made OF it.-London Truth.

A MILLION DOLLAR DRUNK.

Probably the most expensive drink
ing bout on record is that OF New
York broker at Christmas time.
His drunk cost him $1,oOo,OOO.
This is the way 1t happened: The
gambler in stocks was accustomed,
like other big spectators. to give his
brokers an order, say, to buy. and then
TO counterbalaDce his purchase he
would hedge by giving orders to
other brokers to sell the same stock.
On the up and down movement
activity OF the market'-he would
gamble.
Well
On Christmas day the stock gambler
celebrated Yuletide with a big spree.
He went about the exchange slapping
brokers on the back, one after another,
saying, BUY me 5000 shares of Rock
Island stock Monday"
They bought the stock. But the ex-
uberant Spectator was so drunk on
Monday he forgot to order sales.
Under the heavy buying the stock
OF Rock Island went up like a rocket.
1t went up from 90 to 81 points, and
then, nobody appearing to buy, 1t
came down like a stick. It dropped
from 81 to the 90 point.
Thus the gambler lost his $1,000, 900,
his entire fortune.
He is not the first man who has lost
his fortune by 4 drunk. When one
loses his head his fortune usually goes
along with it.
Business does not go with bibulous
''boozing"
Competition nowadays is so keen
that the stuff in a business mans
brain pan must be Of the best fiber.
One drink may SO affect the sensitive
cells as to cause his undolng.

might take a whisky bottle with him

common laborer who "rushes the can"
Is apt to receive a quick discharge.
Big business has no use for the en-
ployee who fuddles his gray matter
with liquor. The cup that cheers"
also inebriates
You may not have lost 81. 100000 by
drink. And yet you may.
Even one drink may have lost you
the big chance that leads up to for

When "Pluek" Was slano.

The word pluck" affords an In
stance Of the way in which slang
words In the course Of time become
adopted into current English. We now
meet with pluck" and '.plucky" as
the recognized equivalents of "cour-

In 1927 the word had not yet lost its
low character. He says volume 2.

obvious. From early times the heart
has been popularity regarded as the
seat Of courage. Now, when butcher

out together the united heart and
