HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Great enthusiasm has been aroused
this year in football. The boys had
been trying for three years to get
it started, but the Athletic Associa-
ton was not in favor of it, although
now they have agreed to let the boys
try it. Holtville, Brawley, Imperial
and Ell Centre high schools will all
have teams.
This school is exceptionally fortu-
nate in having such an excellent
coach this year. w. A. Smith was g
member Of the All-Missouri football
team for four years and also on the
All Missouri basketball team for one
year, so FL Centro is sure to have
a good strong team. About twenty
boys get out each night and have
signal practice and some slight scrim-
mage. Last night Leslie Tilton, rs,
was elected captain of the team. The
C. U. H. S. football team, with such
a coach and captain, expects to wipe
up everything in the valley. And the
whole school is boosting and backing
them.
The library is one of the new de-
partments added this year and is
greatly appreciated and patronized by
everyone. Ii has an excellent selec-
ton Of about 700 volumes, of which
all are reference books. 1t is branch
of the City Library and so can obtain
any book that a student wishes With
this library the students not only get
/ the benefit of their regular textbooks
but can refer to many other books
on the same subject, thus broadening
their field of learning. Miss Leah
/ Wilson of the Class of '13 and grad
late of the Library Training Class
given last year at the City Library
has charge of this work and is very
efficient.

PHILO JONES ON
THE COTTON NEEDS

Philo Jones, the Republican nomi-
nee for the state assembly, has been
studying the cotton market situation
for The last month. In a campaig.,
speech at Seo!ey Wednesday night,
that city being the center Of the see
end largest cotton growing district
in the valley, Mr., Jones proposed state
warehouses as a partial remedy for
present conditions. Today, replying
to an inquiry, he stated his views on
tbs important question.
Insurance companies require lie
sid, that every bale Of cotton mus
le covered by receipt from & bond
od warehouse. in order to obtain for
the former the most favorable insur-
arca rates.
"Barks require the same kind Of
guarantee ard will not loan on cot
ton rs collateral unless it is covered
by insurance.
"There must be no possibility Of
questioning the integrity OF the ware
house receipt. 1t must be as unques-
tionable as an express money order,
to pass current in the financial world.
''In order to meet these require
ments, the cotton warehouses could
be licensed and controlled by the State
of California, the manager thereof be-
ing certified as state official. This
would not necessarily require a large
investment for expensive buildings,
because cotton authorities are unani-
nous in the opinion that an open air
warehouse best is adapted to Impe-
rial Valley climatic conditions.
'If this remedy seems feasible, and I.
if there is a demand for it by the
Imperial Valley, I will, if elected, in
troduce bill to meet the need"

WHOLESALE
Something About the Death Rate-NOt
So High in War Above Peace.
New York WORLDLY

To read of a battle in which 2,000,-
600 men r engaged naturally raises
visions of wholesale slaughter. All
the appliances of modern warfare are
designed to that end; all the skill and
science of the greatest military eX-
perts are directed to.that purpose.
Yet, basing estimates on authentic
historical records, there is good rea-
! son to assume that the number Of
men killed in any one battle in France
will be surprisingly low when com .
pared with the death-rate under nor
nal circumstances among the same
number of men. At Gettysburg, for
instance, the death-rate per 1000 was
| 55.5 the highest in tWenty-one battles
in the civil war. According to the
figures published by the Northwest
ern Mutual Life Company in the
American Experience Table Of Nor
taity for every 1000 men living at the
age of forty-nine there will be 55.5
deaths before reaching the age of fifty
three. For all purposes, this is exact
II the same rate of mortality as
that on the field of Gettysburg. That
is to say, each soldier had the same
chance of surviving the battle of Get
tysburg that a man now forty-nine
a old has Of living to be ffty-three.
At the battle of Charlottesville the
death-rate among the soldiers en-
gagged was 20.3 per 1000. According
to the l~ife-insurance tables, the death
rate per 1000 among men in peaceful
pursuits ranging in age from forty
two to forty-four is exactly the same.
Every soldier at Shiloh, where the
death rate in battle was 1922 per 1000
had the same chance of escaping alive
as the~average man of thirty of reach
ing the age of thirty-five.
These figures are surprising in
showing how far we are likely to be
led astray in calculating the relative
in battle.

SELF SUPPORTING COUNTRY.
Wilmington Star.

A drummer who was selling some
thing to eat took the train at Green's
toro and came as far as Fayetteville
without getting off the train to work a
single town.
This country is no good for me-"
he said. "The people produce every
thing they want, pay cash for what
they buy and don't let any merchant
get very much out of them. It's the
credit part of the cotton country
where we do the business" Screwing
up his face, he waved back at a cer-
tain town and said:
GA drummer in my line couldn't
make his salt if he were to monkey
GROUND that town for a week with his
samples
We wondered if the travelling man
was telling the truth, If SO, it was
a compliment to the country because
of its independence.
