If you can't build a lot of road,
build all the road you can. This
is the policy of the farmers of Wash
ington county, particularly between
the towns of Palmer and Linn. These
farmers try to build some road every
year and keep it in repair, but they
have an annual road building bee
when everyone is supposed to turn
out and work. On of these annual
workfests took place few days ago
when A. r. Losh, assistant state
highway engineer, at the Kansas
Agricultural College, accepted an in
vitation to build one mile of road
n any way that suited him. A big
drill was given attended by $50 per-
IONS. One hundred-fifty men work.
ed all day on this mile, with so
teams, two traction engines, six
graders and dozens Of women and
girls to encourage the outfit. Mr..
Losh had the mile graded 80 feet
wide including cuts, laid the bitches
straight, gave the banks the proper
slope SO that they would not cave
in and cause ,blockades, reduced two
very steep hills to a reasonable
grade, and pulled all the brush and
young trees that interfered with
smooth working Of the road. The
leaders in this enterprise were w.
e. Wilson OF Washington; s. H.
Hamilton of Clifton; H. w. Storms
and Henry Meierkord of Linn, and
]. A. Clark and Henry Palmer of
Palmer. Mr.. Losh accepted an in
vitation recently to go, to town in
southeastern Kansas where the mo-
tor club members said they were in
favor of good roads. After he had
worked one day he discovered the
motor club had placed limit of
$3.50 a mile for model road build
ing. The work stopped that even
ing.

a woMAN,s FTNANCIERING.

The Kansas City Star says: "A
Kansas woman at Abilene "a few
years ago paid $26, 900 for Dick
inson county farm and the wise ones
among the ''men folks" shook their
heads in pity. IT'S just like wo-
man., they said. She might have
invested that money in mining stock
or some other sure thing" but here
she goes and invests 1t in a farm.
And she paid too much for it at
that. If she intended to invest it
in real estate why didn't she buy
some of that Florida land, which
is sold by the gallon. Poor woman
"But the Abilene woman didn't
invest in any sure thing mining
stock. She didn't use any better
Judgment than to buy farm which
she could see. And yesterday, af-
ter harvesting only three good crops
from her investment she let 1t go at
the sacrifice price of $4,000. 1t
is safe to say that the Abilene men
who criticised her for buying the
land will not shake. their heads and
say: 1T was a shame to sell that farm
at the price. She should have re-
ceived at least s41,5OO for it, Alas
for the business Judgment Of the
Kansas woman"
And now that she has put $4,000
into another farm they will be yet
more dissatisfied with her.

at least one romance. An old maid
occupant of room in a western
Kansas hotel took the usual pre-
caution to look under the bed, and
sure enough she found the proven

her self of 1t. She grabbed the rope
provided for in the statutes, lassoed
the man, took him to the nearest
minister and married him.

IMPERIAL WINS FIRST OF
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
Ei centro Players Lay Their Defeat to
Lack of Practice and Will Contest
Again Next Saturday at Home

Ell Centre lost to Imperial Saturday
the first game of two-out-of-three-
baseball series by score of 6 to g.
The score tells of game at least
close enough to have been exciting,
but it in no way tells the story of
the game, which was replete with
errors and trick plays which failed to
work.
The Ell Centre boys showed pitiably
the lack of practice. This was espe-
cially evident in their batting, as they
got only two hits to the Imperial
boys five; but their fielding and base
throwing was the direct cause of their
losing the game, as all six of Impe-
rails runs were due to fumbled balls
or overthrows.
There are several changes contem-
plated in the Ell Centro lineup, which
will probably change the result of the
next game to be played in Ell Centre
next Saturday.
The boys are unanimous in their
decision that it was lack of practice
which is to be blamed for their de-
feat, and are hoping to be able to
practice every night for the coming
week. If their hopes materialize they
should have the stronger team of the
two, as they undoubtedly have the ma
terial.
In Pitcher Henry Ell Centro has one
of the best boy athletes the valley
has ever seen, but Imperial is more
than a one-man job and it's mighty
disheartening to play with absolutely
no support

PLANS PROPOSED FOR
new SUMMER RESORT
Brawiey Men Purchase Tract Of Land
at Jacumba, Where It Is Planned
to Attract Many Valley People

A large tract of land at Jacumba
has been bought by the Stanley-De-
Blois Company Of Brawley and L. NJ
Meyer of Los Angeles. The purchase
comprises 800 acres and is located in
the little valley through which passes
the county road and the survey of
the San Diego and Arizona railroad.
Through arrangements made by Mr..
Stanley with the highway commits
sioners of San Diego county, the ma
cadamized road now under construc-
tion will cross the property.
Water will be developed immedi-
ately and a portion of the land put
under irrigation.
Particular interest attaches to this
transfer through the fact that the
owners of Dixieland possess several
hundred acres Immediately adjoining,
on which are located several mineral
streams and through which a small
stream flows.
The Dixieland promoters, it is
claimed, plan to make Jacumba a
summer resort for Imperial valley.
and will take the first steps along this
line during the coming summer
Jacumba lies at an elevation of 5000
feet and adjoins the Mexican line on
the main road between Ell Centro and
San Diego
With the roads in their present con-
dition, the run may be made with an
automobile from Ell Centro to Jacum-
ba, 50 miles, in two and half hours,
without much difficulty.
The owners of this property believe
they have secured a strategic loca-
ton directly in the path of future de-
elOpment.-Brawley News.
