The opening Of the Opera House

one of the incidents that go to show

The women's clubs Of the valley and
the little groups of people drawn to-

church societies and the fraternal or

To take such human material and

cans in Mexico are not at once given

1t appears that Taft's supporters
consider this an opportune time for
him to pose in heroic aspect and
that Mexican intervention would af-
ford him the opportunity.
AS matter of fact, it appears that
the chaotic condition in Mexico has
been getting worse of late, and all
things indicate that Mexico will grad.

if the strong hand of this nation is
not used to restore and TO maintain

SCHOOL PROBLEM SOLVED;
ALL WILL OPEN SEPT. is

There has been considerable diff
Guilty adjusting affairs for the opening
of the schools this year, owing to the
delay in the completion of the high
mar school for the rooms formerly
occupied by the high school, but that
has now been adjusted for all schools
TO open on the 10th, one week from
today.
The contractors met with such diff
culties in getting labor that it was
found impossible to complete the two
wings of the high school building as
anticipated. and now it has been de-
cided to use the north school building
for high school purposes for two
months, by which time it is expected
to have the entire high school building
ready for occupancy.
This will necessitate all classes in
the grammar grades meeting in the
south school building for the two
months, and the crowded condition Of
this building will necessitate keeping
a portion of the classes in the school
building but a portion of the school
hours.
New bells have been ordered for the
grammar school buildings.
Professor Nichols has arranged a
program which is expected to prevent
delay in getting down to regular work
in school He will have the various
classes of pupils present themselves
in advance. and will thus have them
ready for study to begin Monday.
Those who are entering the school
for the first time and have not the
proper credentials are asked to pre-
sent themselves Wednesday and
Thursday mornings at 9 O'Clock for
examination in arithmetic, geography
and history.
Those from other high schools will
present themselves Friday at 9 a. m.
for registration. and former pupils of
the high school will present them
selves Saturday at 9 for registration.
The teachers for the high school
during the coming year will be: B. G..

and scholarly young man wandering
about Imperial valley and studying its

melon patch in the valley, that of T.

lodge in the recollection of the stran-
ger, who proved to be Clarence A. Sha-
mel, then associate editor, now editor,
of the Orange Judd Farmer Sin,:c
that time Mr.. Shamel has been one of
the best friends the valley has had.
Now, writing to A. c. Burrell, Ell
