TELLS OF THE
EARTHQUAKE
FORMER MEXICO TEACHER HAS
EXPERIENCE IN CAL
IFORNIA.

Mrs. Tom NJ. Gill of Ell Centro,
Cali, who was formerly Miss Grace
Morris of this city and who was one
of the bright teachers in our public
school, writes a letter to her mother
here, Mrs. C. B. Morris, telling of the
earthquake which recently wrecked
Ell Centre, from which we are per
mitted to qoute the following:
I'm about to tell you of the most
horrible experience of my life. I Ger
tainly know what it means to run
for your life. I'VE were sitting on our
porch, laughing and talking of
course. Then we all felt so queer
and noticed the house began to shake
violently back and forth. AT first no
one seemed to know what to do but
Tom said, Run" and run we did
THE ground went like the ocean
and you could see houses rocking and
bending. This shock lasted only 80
seconds but it seemed as if it were
80 hours.
Just as it was over women and
children ran screaming, "Save me.
save me-" We looked up and saw
the blazing re-fortunately the
electrician cut the wires and we had
only one fire "a remarkable thing
This was a wholesale mercantile com
pany with a $4,000 stock, and was
insured for only $4,000. We got in
to the car and went down town only
to find the buildings shaken and
torn. We thought home was the
place for us so came back and took
our chairs into the street and waited
only a half hour for another shock
harder and more jerky than the first,
but it did not last as long. This fin
ished all the buildings about and
over town. Many houses were NOV
ed from their foundations but the
frame houses stood the shock won
derfully well. The one we lived in is
just little crooked now, but our
plastering and chimney stood. One
is perfectly safe in frame building
if they keep out of the way OF the
chimney. Really you cannot picture
the town; papers were very kind in
making matters mild, AS it was in
Frisco SO it was here. am sure that

two girls and two men, perhaps six,
were killed here This is very
wicked place, which we better real
ize since it is now nearly destroyed.
"Calexico was damaged quite a
lot, too, but the other valley towns
were lucky. This will be busy place
now in rebuilding.
"All the hard shocks are now over
and there is likely not to be another
one here. 1t was purely local, COM
ing from Volcano Lake, Mexico.
am more afraid now than when the
quake was taking place, no one
knows what an uncanny feeling it is
or how helpless one is unless they ex-
perience it.
The beautiful Barbara North Ho-
tel, valued at 100000, is very badly
damaged and the new grammar
schools are on the ground. They
were all concrete.
You can feel little quakes all the
time, but they are caused by the set
Ting of the earth and Volcanic Lake
and are not serious"

FROM RUSH HILL.

Weather remains wet. But we are
not complaining as yet. Because
last year was so dry.
Rush Hill Community Christian
Church observed Children's Day
Sunday evening. A lengthy program
of excellent selections was rendered
to large audience.
Mrs. l.. T. Paisley remains quite ill.
C. L. Stewart, one of Rush Hills
oldest citizens, died Sunday morning
after a lingering illness.
j. P. Harper has returned from his
visit to Virginia. He made our
mouth water as he told of the black
heart cherries. We wish we could go
back with him this fall to eat buckle
berries, as he says the bushes are
loaded.
Paul Klinedinst returned to St.
Louis last week after a visit with
his uncle, Ed. Miller. Paul has po-
sition as bookkeeper for a firm and
only gets two weeks vacation year.
He has spent his vacation here for
the last three years. Don't know
whether the country air and the rela-
tives are all that draws him to Rush
Hill or not.
Tom Maxwell of Illinois and his
little daughter are visiting relatives
here.
The Lutheran congregation here
have given their house new roof.
Since the beginning of the year the
Methodist Sunday school has spent
about $40 for improvements. The
same was paid for by Sunday school
donations, or collections. They have
their literature for another quarter
/
and about SIS in the treasury. Since
the new year the same Sunday school
has also put on a temperance play,
the door receipts of which were over
$500.
Jessie Dye, our efficient road boss,
is not much of an automobile man.
He especially dislikes the Ford"
But he is dandy good road boss any
way, one of the best we ever had.
Miss Abbie Sullivan, a former
Rush Hill teacher, visited Mrs. Har-
ry Carnes first of the week.
Prof, c. V. Ford has again accept
ed the prinoipalship of our school.

election of six directors. There was
but little opposition, ]. d. Pitt re-
ceived so votes, j. w. Hammett 35,
for the three year terms; Arthur
Chase 3S and T. f. Hesse 93 for the
two years terms; F. w. Carlson 33
and Silas Rohr 80 for the one year
terms And this was the beginning
of greater things in Farber and COM
munity.
Centralia Commercial Club, with
the assistance of Prof. Emberson of
the Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of the State University, is pro-
noting corn Judging contest-one
in each school district within radius
of 8 or 10 miles of the town, followed
by big Roundup Contest at Cen
traia. The plan is for the county SUI
perintendents assisted by Prof. EN-
berson and his corps of assistants to
visit each district after school begins
and assist and encourage the teacher
and the pupils in person. They will
also receive plans and printed in
structions from time to time from
Prof. Emberson. They will learn all
they can about an ear of corn, about
the different varieties, and that by
studying the ear of corn itself. If
this does not increase the efficiency
of the schools from 25 to SO per cent
at least l shall be disappointed.
Prof. Emberson has accepted an
invitation to meet with the Mexico
Commercial Club Friday, July 2, to
lay his plan before them. There
ought to be two or three contests in
the county. Prof. 1mberson will be
glad to come and explain his PROPOSE
tion to you. If you are interested it
takes but an invitation.

PUTS FARBER
ON THE MAP
SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION CAR
RIES 80 TO 01-CORN JUDO
ING CONTESTS.
BY w. divide johnson.

BY w. Clyde Johnson.
'Tis a lesson you should heed,
Try, try again.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again.
If you'll only persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again.
For the third time in the history
of the county consolidation was vot-
ed on Friday. Two years ago lacking
a few days the first proposition was
voted on at Farber, but lost by vote
of SO to So. A year ago last January
23 the second proposition was de-
feated at Beagles by a two to one
vote. But "the third time is the
charm"
Friday at two o'clock Room No. 2
of Farber school was packed with the
qualified voters of proposed consoli-
dated District No. l. The first bust
ness was the election of a chairman.
After a close contest Judge j. D.
Sutton was seated in the chair, and
the opposition scored one. Then a
spirited contest brought out such a
hearty and vociferous vote for A. o.
Jackson for clerk that all were con-
vulsed with laughter. This removed
the strained feeling and the election
proceeded very orderly and with but
little unpleasantness. Mr.. Jackson
was declared elected, and the opposi
tion scored again. The chair theI
appointed c. A. Davault and Arch ia
cobs to act as tellers. The cOun
showed so for consolidation and g.
against.
The next order of business was the
