WE'RE GLAD TO KNOW THE
KING BATTLES ANYWAY
London, July 22.-King George V
is going clean nutty about the pa
geantTy stuff.
His Royal Nibs today staged
chapter of the Order of the Bath in
King Henry WIS chapel, Westmin-
ster Abbey.
The Order of the Bath consists of
a lot of blue-blOoded, aristocTatic
ginks who have had the marvellous
privilege of tending, sponging, wip-
ing and guarding the King while he
is taking his morning rub.
The Order is the second oldest in
Chivalry. It was founded by King
Henry " in 1899, fifty years after
King Edward III started the Order
of the GarteT-after grabbing off a
lady's when it slipped and fell.
Doubtless in those old and dark
days it was worth while to be a
Knight Grand Cross or Knight Com
mander of the Bath. According to all
historical. records, it was a darned
rare thing for a sovereign to take a
bath at all back in 1896, and it must
have been like exploring to watch
him when he did take one.
But nowadays the blue
bloOded ginks are said not to seem
so. keen on drying George off.
The Knights of the Bath breezed
down to the Chapel this morning in
their glad rags, the same consisting
Of red velvet cIoaks, jewened collars
and stars of the Bath, and not sug-
costing appropriate costumes for the
bathroom worth a cent.

knights grand cross and knight COM
manders in their pews was private,
and everyone present being in equally
bad, mo one viii tell whether George
made them wash him up or even

The last chapter Of the Bath was

The judge allowed the motion, where

Be NAMED BY
BOARD NEXT WEEK

That the county agriculturist who
is to succeed George NJ. List should
be appointed at the next meeting of
the board of county commissioners,
is the belief of many local ranchmen
who have been discussing the matter
this week.
The commissioners are practically
agreed, it is said. on the proposition
made by w. Harrison that the next
appointee should be a government
man who will be able to instruct the
growers in farm management, gen.
eral farming, ETC., and otherwise CO.
operate to increase the efficiency of
the agricultural interests of the coun-
ty.
1t is not proposed in the future to
have a man to devote his entire time
to the fruit industry unless the board
feels that it can afford to employ
two different experts.
The wheat growers of the valley
are the most insistent in their de-
mand for an expert assistant and
adviser for this fall and winter.
