This is met by advocates Of the new

than a million dollars, somewhere
near 100000, was the testimony by

The enthusiasm which is sweeping
over the country fer the new political
uprising has never had parallel in
the nation, and California is taking
leading position in the movement
1t is an amazing fact that of all the
Republican papers of the state which
supported Roosevelt before the Chi
cago convention, every one has re,
manned with him since the convention,
even though that led to the severance
Of old political affiliations.
In southern California every news
paper which has not been identified
with the reactionary cause from the
beginning is completely lined up for
the new movement.
What is true of the newspapers is
true of individual supporters of the
Progressive cause, and that cause is
sweeping the state more completely
than ever before.
The conditions in Imperial county
are not different from those in the
state at large, and the call for meet
ings to be held in all the towns in the
valley Friday evening to organize
Roosevelt clubs will put the move
ment here into definite shape for the
conduct of most lively campaign.
Only about one Republican ia
twenty in the county with whom one
converses declares himself for Taft,
and the feeling is growing throughout
the country that Roosevelt will sweep
the nation in November, even with
three candidates in the field.

Mrs. America Alexander Fergu-
son Appointed Kitchen and
Restaurant Inspector
at Cincinnati
She puts Dover, Mason County
on the Map as the Original
"SpOtIsss Town"

Fridays Cincinnati Times-Stdr.
When Mrs. A. A. Ferguson, whose residence
is at the San Raphael fats. Is complimented
on receiving the highest average at the civil
service examination held recently for the pO-
sion Of Cincinnati kitchen and restaurant in-
spector. she smiles and says that she could
hardly do otherwise, coming from Kentucky's
spotess town. The "spotless" city is Dover,
KY, community Of about 1000 people, 80
miles Southeast OF Cincinnati. According to
Mrs. Ferguson. when she was little girl living
10 the Kentucky town. long before club women
had taken up civic reform and municipal
housekeeping, the women Of Dover, KY. used
to collect brOOms and buckets, also snch hus-
bands belonging to the community as had not
made their timely escape, and clean up the
streets Of the village. 81 do not think there
is cleaner town IN the world than Dover or
better hOusekeepers anywhere. Ny grand
mother was considered the most skillful Of
them all. so perhaps have inherited an To-
stlnct for this kind of thing and that lie why
| like IT," said Mrs. Ferguson.
Here are some Of the questions included in
the Kitchen inspectors examination:
How can you tell when the Ice box is too
mOislI
How should a Kitchen be ventilated and
why?
What length Of time may various meats be
kept without spelling?
What contagious disease would disqualify
q man or woman as waiter?
The new chief inspector Is to be chosen
from the first three names GU the list and it
ia considered probable that Mrs. Ferguson will
be selected for the position. Previous to her
marriage to the son Of r. A. Ferguson, founder
OF the Cincinnati Southern Railway, Mrs.
Ferguson and her mother conducted large
private hotel 10 Cincinnati. Since her hus-
bands death she has acted as hOusskeeper Of
a students boarding house at Oxford.
