After the game there was rush TOT
the clubhouse, and in the melee OF pain
i:g and dressing Abner Abercromple was
almost forgotten. Merry was on his way
to the door when an immense red hand
reached out and took him by the elbow
Am / going along, Mr.. Merry?" asked
zlegler. DO go on that fast trainF
Even then Merry's ruling passion as
serted itself. He would have III joke.
"oh, by gee, majorH' he exclaimed

And another thing: Don't let that hotel
clerk bluff you. Make him come through.
Hurry, nowl"
Abner Abercrombie dashed out of the
clubhouse, his valise humping against
his flying knees. Merry looked after him
with n twinkle in his eye.

TWO SAN DIEGO BOYS
HELD ON FELONIES

George Johnson and w. J. Frank
lin, both 19 years old, were arrest
ed yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Cum
mings and are held at the county jail
pending the arrival of an officer from
San Diego where both boys are want
ed on felony charges.
johnson was arrested at a local
rooming house yesterday, but officers
failed to find any trace of his COM
panion until later in the afternoon.
Franklin walked to the Fawcett
ranch, where he applied for work, and
it was there that he was arrested.
+ Both confessed the theft of bicycles
to Deputy Sheriff Cummings. They
took the bicycles in San Diego, they
told him, and essayed to ride TO In
perial Valley. En- route they became
discouraged and sold the bicycles.
In the meantime the San Diego po-
lice were apprised of the theft and
hy the time the boys arrived here
telegraphic advices from the Bay City
requesting their arrest were awaiting
them.

FRUIT GROWERS
CONVENE IN JULY

No fruit grower should forget tha
forty-sixth California State Fruit
Growers Convention, which is to con-
vene at Stanford University the last
week Of July. Indeed, all should plan
row, at once. to be present at this
convention, which meets the week be-
fore the meeting in San Francisco of
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement OF Science, so we shall have
with us some of the greatest scien-
lists of the country. Soils and thei'
treatment will be discussed by some
Of the highest authorities on the sub
ject; two sessions or more will be de
voted to the potato industry; the
causes that hinder success in potato
production will be discussed by those
who know; pear blight, which is lay
ing so heavy a hand on our fruit
growers, will be ably considered by
scientific authorities and by orchard
lists who have successfully controlled
this most obdurate of bacterial dis
eases, and there will be symposium
on the outlook of the various fruits
grown in the state by men who have
made success Of their culture. Miss
Lillian D. Clark of Berkeley will have
charge Of the women's sessions, and
this is enough to insure their sue
cess. We hope and believe that these
sessions will fall no whit below the in
teresting meetings held by the ladies
at the Los Angeles convention. Mon
day and Tuesday, July rs and II, will
be given TO matters of special inter
est to the county horticultural com
mlssioners, their deputies and inspec-
tors, Thursday, the 10Th, will be de-
voted, in part, at least, to an automo-
bile trip through the famous Santa
Clara valley, and on Saturday the
convention will adjourn in a body to
meet at the exposition in San Francis
co. Here special pains will be taken

University. Saturday will be "Horti-

CITY MAY REVISE
WATER RATES

After the installation of Ventur
meter, which will be installed at the
city pumping plant to test the amount
Of water consumed by the city, water
rates may be amended after the Ven
tur meter has been used long enough
to determine the exact amount of wa.
ter that is used.
Announcement of the possible
change in the water rate schedule was
made last night by c. H. Fields, su-
perintendent of the city water depart
ment.
"Under present conditions we have
no way of determining exactly what
the daily water consumption is and
for that reason we can only approx
mate the cost of pumping the water
into the MAINS" he said.
1--WE do know, however, the cost OF
maintenance of the septic tanks, the
cost Of upkeep of the pipe lines and
the cost of actual pumping. But we
know only approximately how much
water is being pumped into the cit.
mains and for that reason an eXac
cost Of pumping a stated amount o
watcr into the mains cannot be com
puted and the water rates must b,
based upon the present approXima
tions.
IF any change is made in the city
rates it will not take place until the
Ventura meter has been used for 3 OF
j months
The Ventura meter, according to the
water superintendent, will determine
the hourly water pressure maintained
in the mains and will also record th'
amount of water discharged into th'
mains.

MOVIES.

L Through rapid evolution the motion picture now
has advanced to the position of of the great educa
tional institutions of the country
Not only does it teach history and art and science,
but it brings the worlds peoples into closer harmony,
for the movie speaks language that is comprehensive
by all classes. 1t reaches the iterae well the cul
tured and there is person but finds at times nspra
