FIDST SENTENCE
UNDER VEHICLE LAW

The first commitment to a state
penitentiary from Imperial county un-
der the motor vehicle law Of 1913 was
recorded this morning when Superior
Judge Cole sentenced Edwin Foster,
formerly a stage driver in the en-
ploy of local stage line, to , years
in San Quentin penitentiary. The max
imum sentence is years.
Shortly after his arrest Foster adj
mitted his guilt and sought probation.
His application was denied, as it was
brought out by the Investigations Of
the probation officer that Foster had
stripped the machine of windshield,
horn and tools and presumably pawned
them.
lie also damaged the car $42 worth
during the course Of his unauthorized
trip and left it at a garage at La
Mesa, where the owners will have to
foot that bill in addition to other re-
pair bills before the car can be taken
from the shop.

Streets for Children.


Columbus, O., July 17.-"Children
have the right to play in the streets as
long as the city furnishes them no
place else to play"
That is the decision of Juvenile
Judge S. L. Black on the question
which has agitated many cities. How
evet, the judge held that the children
should have due regard for vehicles
and try to keep out of danger.
The judge also upheld the light of
several youngsters to use roller skates
in the streets, when complaints were
filed by neighbors who were aronyed
by the noise.

HOPPERS REPORTED
ATTACKING TREES

Reports from the county horticul-
tural commissioners office Indicate
that the grassohpper horde is doing
considerable damage both to the al
falfa and grapefruit trees in restrict
ed districts. The complaints Of
ranchers thus far come from the
southern part of the valley.
The hoppers at present are without
wings, which is attributed as the
chief reason why the pest is not ap-
pearing all over the valley. Deputy
Horticultural Commissioner Fred Phe-
Ian estimates that in three weeks the
hoppers will have attained the winged
stage and adds that after that time
it is highly probable that the damage
will be prevalent in all parts of the
county.
"There are approximately $4,000
grapefruit trees planted in the coun-
ty and should the matured hoppers
attack these it is apparent that the
damage would mean a loss of consid-
cradle magnitude" the deputy hor-
ticultural commissioner said this
morning.
"The only method by which the
rancher can hope to lessen the dam
age of the pest is by the use of the
hopper dozer. A number of ranchers
are under the impression that this Of
flee can supply them with a poison
that can be scattered about the ground
and which will drive away the hop
pers without any effort ON the part
of the rancher.
"The horticultural commissioners
office can do nothing but suggest the
use of the hopper dozer. If precau-
tions are not taken during the winter
season to destroy the eggs of the pest
the advent of the hopper will become
semi-annual event with a heavier
loss resulting each time that the pests
are not checked"

AVOID HEATING FOODS
IN HOT WEATHER
Bill of Fare Should Vary Greatly in
Winter and Summer.

About this time every year the mag
aZines and newspapers are In the habit
of publishing a list of 'DOn't's' for hot
weather. One of the most prominent
of these is Don't eat heating foods
during the summer season. Up-to-
date housekeepers, having the good
health of their family at heart, are
realizing more and more the necessity
for varying the bill of fare radically
i'm winter and in summer.
In order to prepare an attractive
variety of warm weather foods and
desserts, every woman should have a
thorough knowledge of the possible
ties contained in that delicious food
product-Cornstarch While corn
starch is an all-the-year-round article
of diet-it is of special value in the
preparation of the most delicious ice
creams. frozen custards and frappes
imaginable. But to insure the best
results it is essential that the corn
starch be of the best possible quail
ity. ..-e..
Those having the most satisfactory
results with cornstarch recipes always
depend upon the old reliable Kings
fords brand-which can be obtained
at all modern grocers. When order
ing Kinesford's Cornstarch, ask your
grocer for a copy of the little Kings
ford Cook Book, which contains thl
recipes for warm weather dlshes re-
ferred TO above, as well as much valu-
able culinary informatlon'-AdV.

Is Your House Over.
run With Ants
Read the Following Simple Method of
Exterminating This
Plague.

A house overrun with ants is not
pleasant proposition, but it Is not
the serious matter that it used to be.
There was a time when it was prac-
tically impossible to rid house of
ants. Now, however, it is compara-
lively a simple matter.
This is due to the fact that a paste
has been discovered which appears to
have an almost supernatural power
over ants. 1t not only drives them
out of a house or store Immediately,
ibut keeps them out afterward. Thou
sands of enthusiastic testimonials bear
evidence as to its efficiency.
This remedy is being put up for
general use under the name of Kel-
logg's Ant Paste and can be obtained
at all druggists. 1t is the little senti-
mel which will guard your house
against ants. Try a package today
and be convinced.

TWO LEADERS TO
TOUR THE ST tTE

Sacramento, July 17.-Colonel The
odore Roosevelt, in a stirring, lam
bastic, rip-roaring one-act play en-
titled "World Politics." and Colonel
William Jennings Bryan in an en-
phatic, beseeching, ecstatic mOnologue
entitled "War and Peace" will be SIM
ultaneously spreading their mghtiest
verbal efforts over the great cities and
fair valleys of California ere the
month of July has passed into his
tory.
Az the capitol it is regarded as an
event of great significance-the sim
ultaneous appearance in the Golden
State of two leading personages of the
nation.
Colonel T. r. will arrive July 21 and
will Immediately begin to talk. Midst
all the spendor of the Panama Pacific
exposition the organizer of the Bull
Moosers will take his place in the
Court of the Universe. Fancy takes
us by the nape of the neck and yanks
us to the moment when Governor Hi
ram Johnson will place his hand on
Colonel T. RS shoulder and introduce
the eX-president, eX-candidate for
president and possible candidate for
president to the assembled multitude.
The Colonel will probably say "Bul-
lyw or maybe, "De-lighted!" or per-
hapS something new, like "This is one
of the happiest moments of my life" "
Side by side will stand the pioneer
candidates of the Progressive party.
And, incidentally, if Colonel T. r.
gets the "come back" and Hiram
hears his party calling him, who
knows but they will head the ticket
next year. Hiram is certainly "a devil
in his own state" and stands strong
in the big arena. Roosevelts stand
ing, in the opinion of Californians
will be established by his coming trip.
If California "takes" to him, it will
probably be settled. T. r. will toss
his lid into the ring.
Meanwhile Colonel w. J. Bryan will
continue putting in his licks, explain
ing and admonishing. He will speak
in Sacramento July %, two days after
Roosevelt makes his first speech in
California. The big guns appear very
anxious to tell it to California.
Give us the key, professor, and wei
put across little ditty to the tune
of 81 Love You, California" dedicat
ing il to the two colonels, T. X. ant
w. J. B.:
We love you, California.
You're a state so grand and fair
And before you kick or knock us
Kindly hear our humble prayer.
Hiram Johnson is wonder,
By his word your people swear.
We would like to be like Hiram
And his favor fain would share.

nearly 1000 miles and was recently
sighted by a schooner off the Island

buffeting by the seas. The schooner
