The Class Night entertainment was
largely attended, abou, $50 friends
of the school being pre- sent. The Sc
nior play, "Tommy's Wife" was very
amusing All the seniors played their
parts well.
The class poem, class prophecy and
class will were all excellent.
Between the acts the junior boys
went through the audience ard sold
La Solanas.
The class song, written by Miss
Epler, was sung by the Glass of 1914.
The words are as follows:
Senior Class Song.
Sometimes when Central needs some
thing,
Something to make them feel glad,
Then they will wish for the seniors,
The class of IA they once had.
Debaters will wish they were North
colts,
OF Thompson you'll oft feel the
lack;
When it comes to dishing up feeds
You'll wish you had us all back
CHORUS.
AS the freshies need a hazing,
Since they are green as grass;
As the sophomores need Miss Hayler,
This most dependent class;
AS the juniors need a-roasting,
When they fill us with disgust,
AS the whole school needs ambition
That's how they'll need us.
California's the best in the Union,
Our county's the pride of the state;
The desert has blossomed around us,
With cotton, olive and date.
Ell Centro's the heart of the valley,
Our high schools the joy of us all;
The whole school envies us seniors,
But we always answer her call.
CHORUS.
AS our nation needs this gold state,

Kruttschnitt's Coming
Is Not Yet Verified

Platt, Kruttschnitt expects to motor
over the valley, ride over the Inter-
California Railway, and in fact, get
first-hand idea of that great and
growing country.
AS Kruttschnitt was traffic man
before he was an executive and as
the Imperial Valley is perhaps the
greatest traffic producer of any agri.
cultural district of equal size in the
entire country, his visit takes on more
than local significance. Among
Southern Pacific men it is believed
that the Imperial Valley has been
nominated for some big improvements
as soon as the financial skies clear
a bit for the railroads.
On his return here, Kruttschnitt
will be the guest of President Shoup
of the Pacific Electric on trip over
the San Bernardino extension, which
is to be thrown open to service about
July 1.
at is unfortunate" remarked
Kruttschnitt in reminiscent way yes
terday, ''that the railroads are the
first TO feel the effects of any financial
disturbance and the last to recover.
With the Southern Pacific it has been
a case of deficits for nearly two years,
though there seems to be signs of re-
stored confidence"
Regarding the reports that the
Southern Pacific has arranged for
financial assistance, Kruttschnitt stat
ed that it has, by securing enough
money to pay its debts.
"We issued $55 100000 in bonds and
sold them," he said, "and had suffi-
cient money to pay for work done
or under way and to retire notes now
due or which will soon be due. Yes,
we did some financing; we paid up"
Incidentally $26,000,00O of Southern
Pacific 5 per cent notes will "soon be
due" To be precise they will be due
the 18th inst.
Regarding preparations for 1915,
Kruttschnitt stated that the i12 new
passenger cars now going into SER
vice will constitute the sum total Of
all equipment to be purchased in pre-
raration for the handling Of exposition
year crowds.

Great Display Made
At Valley Fruit Fair

| idea of the progress the valley is
making in horticulture and garden
ing.
1t is impossible to find any season
cf the year at which there can be
made comprehensive exhibit of the
products of the valley as the scores
of things produced have their separ
ate periods for ripening, scattered
through the entire year, and for that
reason it has been found desirable to
hold two fairs year, the regular
county fair in the fall and the fruit
and vegetable fair in the spring.
One of the important crops of the
spring, asparagus, has already run its
course and this cannot be caught at
either of the fairs.
Four important products are now
at their prime for exhibition purposes
--apricots, cantaloupes, watermelons
and figs-and the quantity of these
products is increasing rapidly.
Another very important crop,
grapes, is not, yet far enough ad-
vanceG for exhibition purposes, and
it will be a month before shipments
begin.
The fair opened this morning in the
partially constructed Surface building,
west of the court house, and the
building had been beautifully decorat-
ed with foliage for the occasion while
provision had been made for large
exhibit
Early this morning the exhibits be-
gan to arrive, growers on town lots
in town being the first on hand, and
they made great showing in vari-
ETY. of products. They were followed
by farmers driving in and by people
from other sections of the valley.
There is strong local rivalry in the
exhibits, the several sections of the
valley struggling for the prizes, as
well as for the honors of the day.
There are five beautiful cups to be
awarded, as we'll as cash and other
prizes.
Tonight the room will be brilliantly
lighted and concert will furnish an
additional attraction.
Refre shments are being served by
representatives of the Woman's Ten
Thousand Club for the benefit of the
building fund.
Among the surprising features of
the fair is the presence of seventy
varieties of grapes. Of these, the
Thompson Seedless and Persian 21s
are the only ones ripe.
Without undertaking to report to-
CAV on the individual exhibits, the
following list of fruits and vegetables
exhibited will prove of interest, there
being IA exhibitors:

"WouId It Have Paid?"

Under the above caption the Tif-
son Gazette editorializes on a state
ment in a recent issue of The News
TO the effect that the farmers OF Ter
rell county now realize that it would
have been better if they had sold
their cotton at the beginning Of the
season, and takes issue herewith.
''The best price offered at any
time since the outbreak of the war,
says our Triton contemporary, was
8 cents during the last days of Sep
TENDER. The farmers of the South
would indeed have been better off
could they have sold their cotton at
8 cents. But they could not have
done so. An offer of 500 bales at
any time before the middle of Novem-
her would have sent the price
down and in the opinion of
the Gazette the cotton growers saved
the situation this year by holding
tight to their cotton and that instead
of being better on had they sofa ear
ly in the season the situation would
have been much worse for them
1t may be that the Gazette is cor
rect in the statement that large offer
1ngs of cotton would have affected
the market adversely, but there is
no question that farmers cannot now
get cents for cotton they could
have sold at that price early in the
season, and there is little probability
that they will be able to get that
much for it at any time in the near
future. They will consider them
selves very fortunate if the market
advances to that price again.

Keep the Demonstration,

The services of the farm demon
strator who has been employed in
Terrell county this year are practi-
cally at end, and it is for the peo-
pie of the county to say whether they
will retain him another year. The
time is here to make the decis-
ion. and the question is, can they,
for the small amount of $500, afford
not to do so?
There is no question as to whether
or not Terrell county should con-
tinue the work that has been begun
by Mr.. Kent. Good results can be
seen all over the county. There new
err was a time when a demonstration
was needed more than now. 1t is no
time to be deprived of any of
the helps toward making a success
of diversified farming. Many farm
ers are going to plant and have al
ready planted winter crops with
which they have little or no expert
ence, and if they do not succeed with
them as they think they should they
are likely to be discouraged, a result
which must be avoided in every pos
sibls instance. Then, too, the work
the demonstrator has done in cor
trolling and preventing hog cholera
has been worth many times his Sal
ary, besides other work he has done
to improve agricultural conditions.
Nobody should think that the small
paid by the people OF the
county to a farm demonstration is
money wasted, that 1t goes merely to
give a job to man. The object Of
his Iabors is to increase the per acre
age production of every crop that is
planted, improve the grade Of live
stock and assist the farmers by his
advice to live at home, to produce on
their farms at the least cost every
thing that is needed for their families
and their stock to eat.
Terrell county cannot, must not,
turn backward in this matter. The
demonstration must be retained

Whom the gods would destroy they

man whose mouth reeked with filth
that would disgrace a bawdy house
and did disgrace his rearing, asked
of a company in which gentlemen
were discussing other things. And
others have asked the same ques
ton. One paper of today gives the
notices and prayers of the warrine
nations, tantamount to saying what
of these? Like that other fatalist,
mistaken and cursed for
an infidel-when fatalism caused by
an unhealthy liver and the Slackness
of the clergy of his times caused to
vaporize his anger that God had CIV
en- him brains while to his partner
and mate in Berlin He had given a
kingdom as we'll. But to the real
thinker and doer in England no such
things occurred because John Wes-
