A QUICK DECISION

l left a note beneath dads plate
Last night, in which 1 tried to state
What my position Is schools
An spellin' books an states an rules.
Deer Dad"-that was the way 1 wrote
To him and put it in the note
II have decided I am sore
On school, SO 1 won't go no more
When it begins. 1 want to go
An git a job to work at. So
No more at present" 1 wrote then
Beneath: your lovin' little Ben"
When Dad turned up his pate an seen
The note, he took it up between
His thumb and finger this away
An read it through, and didn't say
word; but give sort O. frown
An folded it an laid it down
An ct his supper. Then he lit
His pipe an set there smokin' it
Till bedtime. Then 1 said goodnight
An he said, Good night, son; sleep
Tight"
An when I had got nearly half
The way upstairs 1 heard him laugh.
This mornin,' before I came down,
Dad had gone to his work in town;
An when I turned my plateup, see,
There was another note for me,
1t said: Dear Son, by this you'll
know
1 have decided you're to go
To school when school begins again.
Schools are for boys, and work for
men;
I work for you, so you must be
Good and must go to school for me-
Or else meet me out in the shed

UPkEEP OF ROADS DECLARED
TO BE MOST ESSENTIAL

LOS ANGELES, Sept 23.-Unless
some provision is made by the state
for maintaining the state highway that
is to be constructed at a cost of S1S-
100000, much of the money thus spent
will be wasted, and that is why, in
the opinion OF State Highway Commits
sioner Darlington, within another year.
at least, maintenance of way depart
ment should be established. 1t is be-
lieved that the legislature will take
some action in this regard at it's next
session.
1T is properly the duty of the hign-
way commission, 1 think" said Mr..
Darlington, in discussing the matter
ito do what we can to keep the roads
we are building from deteriorating, un-
less the state makes other provision.
Undoubtedly by the time our work is
completed the state will have provid-
ed for a system of maintaining the
roads.
1T is my belief that just as soon
as a road is completed it should be
placed under the supervision of a care
taker. Railroads have learned to take
that precaution with their tracks, and
the same thing should apply to stat e
roads"
Mr.. Darlington believes that the
state should be divided into districts
with 4 supervisor over each district.
The state highway commission will
hold a hearing near the end of the
month concerning the effort being
made to have the state highway go
by way of Tehachapi pass instead of
the TETON route. 1t has not been de
termined if this hearing is to be made
in Los Angeles or Sacramento.
The next regular monthly meeting
of the state highway commission will
be held in Sacramento about Septem-

NILE COTTON CROP IS

of the Egyptian peasantry and prove
most beneficial to the Ian

Digest. 1t seems that British mill
owners for years "have been loud II.
their demand that Egyptian authori
ties should intervene" in this matter,
but neither Lord Cromer nor the late
Sir Eldon Gorst, during their terms
of Office as head Of the occupation
could carry out the wishes Of the
English manufacturers and the task
was reserved for Kitchener of khar
toum. Kitchener has performed the
task to the satisfaction of his people,
one of whom pays a glowing tribute
to his accomplishment in this direc
ton in the Pioneer (Allahabad, India)
which is believed to be the semi-offf
cial organ of the British Indian gov
ernment, and spokesman for the
English merchant community in the
East, and therefore a high authority
in matters such as these The meth
DDS that the new consul general has
adopted to stimulate cotton growth in
Egypt, according to this writer, are:
I'm the first place it was decided
to distribute cotton seed to the cul
tivators. The latter have been accus
toned for years to purchase their
seed either from the ginners or FROM
ordinary merchants AS the fellah'
is remarkable for his lack of fore
sight, he invariably dealt with the mer
chant, for the ginners, while they sup
piled good seed, had to do SO at a
high price. The merchants, however,
pandering to the peculiar mentality
of the native cultivator, who placed
cheapness before quality always con-
trived to attract him by the compare
lively low price or by the easy terms
of payment offered. Naturally, the
M erchants compensated by giving
either an inferior variety or a mixed
quality. AS a result, we have run q
great risk of seeing the cotton crop
suffer very serious deterioration, and
as the welfare of the whole country
depends on the high standard being
maintained, the government decided
that the time had come for interven
ton. So the 'fellaheen' have been Of

easy terms, and since this innovation

TO KISS is NO CRIME

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.-Accord-
ing to Magistrate Scott it is no crime
to kiss a girl when on the streets of
Philadelphia. The magistrate was
called upon to render this decision
when Harold Luders was called before
him, having been arrested for kissing
Miss Hilda Young of 1916 Montgomery
avenue, his fiancee. when he was leav-
ing her to board a car for his home.
"Why, this boy has committed no
crime" said the magistrate. Things
have come to a pretty pass when a
man cannot kiss his girl on the street.
If this keeps on it will be high time
for the young people to move out and
the crippled and feeble minded to
move in. If good, clean young man
must hide his head under a bucket
or crawl under a barn when he wants
to kiss nice, sweet girl, then I say
it's about time for Gabriel to toot his
horn and set off the big blast.
"Where do you think a fellow ought
to kiss his girl? Down in a big cave ?
If a girl is good nough to be kissed
she ought to be kissed out in the
open so that everybody can see it, and
no one likes to do it and see it more
than r."
He discharged Luders forthwith.

Declaring that natures handiw 1rk" is

In a petition which they are now

We intend to boycott the new ere

They are not gowns, they are any

further, they are not suited to ones

SOUTHERN TRAVEL HEAVY

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 23.-The travel
over the proposed southern route for
the great national highway far ex-
ceeds the public realization. Henry NJ
Johnson, head of the Mountain Com
mercial company, is cognizant of this
fact and devised a means of showing
the committee that the claim is a just
one. At the commercial companys
store at Campo he has placed a reg
lister that gives the name and number
of the car, also the owners name and
address along with other information.
There are several signs placed along
the way requesting travellers to regis
ter in passing.
Johnson states that about twenty
machines pass this place every day and
great percentage of these are
transient.
Campo lies 55 miles east of San
Diego and a mile and a half from the
United States boundary line; it is on
the route to the easiest pass on the
desert and the plan adopted by John
son for showing the necessity for TAX
ing the proposed southern route should
be ratified by all mot orists and their
heartiest cooperation given.

twelve CARS ASSURED
FOR THE PHOENIX RAGE

Los ANGELES, Sept. eff any
doubt existed a week ago as to the
probability of the annual Los Angeles
to Phoenix automobile race being held,
that doubt was dissolved during the
week. A visit to Los Angeles by Attor-
ney General. George Purdy Bullard or
Phoenix and a trip along Automobile
row, accompanied by John S. Mitchell,
resulted in the assurance of an entry
list of not less than twelve cars.
Interest in the big race along the
towns on the route of the Ocean-to-
Ocean highway, over which the race
will--pass, is unbounded. Checks have
been pouring in from every village
along the route, and the members of
the Chamber of Commerce of River
side are SO enthusiastic over the event
that they have mailed a check for
$3.50 to be added to the purse. A
check for 500 was sent in from
Coachella, and another $100 from Ban
ming, one from Redlands and large
amount from the city of Ontario.
The purse this year will be the larg
est in the history of the event, and
the road by the time the race date
is set will be in better shape than IL
was ever dreamed it would be a year
ago.
Two Cadillacs are entered, one to be
driven by Bill Bramlette and the 9TH
er by Roy Soules, the latter one of
the best known track drivers left of
the old guard. There will be an
American entered from the factory, ac
cording to Mr.. Grundy. An Apperson
will be driven by Bill Ferguson of
Phoenix, who last year handled the
wheel of Buick so creditably. Ralph
Nikrent will handle Buick; Fred
Fuller will pilot the same National
that Harvey Herrick handled the tro-
ply with year-ago.

FOUL SEED IN ALFALFA

California Cultivator: A subscriber
at Atwater mailed to us some time
ago seeds found in alfalfa seed. He
wanted to know if it was detrimental.
1t was submitted to various authori-
ties and finally sent to Washington,
and Mr.. Brown, botanist in charge Of
the seed laboratory, reports:
1.-THE seeds enclosed have been iden-
titled as those of Centaureo picris.
This is a weed common in alfalfa seed
from Turkestan and that general re-
gion. 1t is closely allied to corn flow
er and bachelors button and gives
promise of being a disastrous weed
wherever it becomes established, as il
spreads both by seed and underground
root stems similar to the way in which
quack grass, Canada thistle and John
son grass spread"

ELECTRICAL WAR ON RATS

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 23.-Mayor
William Seymour approves a new mu-
nicipal project which he believes will
be copied by seaports throughout the
world. He intends to rid the Tacoma
water front of rats by electricity.
The city dock superintendent finds
that rats come for miles at low tide
to feast at the refuse dump beneath
the municipal dock restaurant. An
electric grdiron will be placed there,
above which will be peekhole and
an electric switch. BY turning the
latter several dozen rats can be cleo
trocuted at once.
The tides will carry the bodies away.
Ten dollars will cover the expense.

will meet with County Surveyor J. S.

County Surveyor Bright has estab-

Industry .

President W. H. Hoogs, OF the Al

cured a site for the company's mill.
1t is at the corner of Queen street and

THE mill will be equipped with the
largest sized crusher, having a ca
gacity of eight tons of crushed beans
day." said Mr.. Hoogs to a Star
Bulletin reporter. Being alongside
the railroad we can handle our raw
material and the output Of the mill
IL a satisfactory way. A warehouse
to carry about six thousand tons will
be erected. ..,' = T. !
I'VE are swamped with orders for
the feed and if the business increases
as il promises, we will have to put
up three or four more mills in the
near future. The demand is not sur.
prising when it is considered that the
lard kernels of the pods contain over
nine per, cent of protein and about
twelve per cent of sugar"
With Mr.. Hoogs as president, the
