difference between what the county
will allow and what it will actually
cost to get the husband back where
he can be forced to support his fam
lily.
The court of domestic relations
has splendid possibilities and will un-
dOubtedIy become ever and ever a
greater force in domestic life as it is
lived today. 1t is a pity, therefore,
that the court should struggle along
so handicapped that while it does
good on one hand it may work evil
on the other.

MRS. mARILLA KICKER

MRS. MARILLA KICKER
Mrs. Kicker, lawyer, with Offices in
Dover, n. H, and Washington, D. c.,
has chucked her chapeau into the
vice presidential ring. She wants to
be the running mate Of Justice
Hughes if the voters of the nation
will have her. She says she will not
be a candidate for vice president with
any presidential candidate except
Hughes. Mrs. Kicker has run for
governor of New Hampshire several
times. She is rs,

and it gives them a chance to vent
their malice on the men Of whom they
have tired without contradiction,
when the stories are not investigated.
Another thing this court needs
badly is an adequate nursery for
children, with a physician in con-
slant attendance.
The waiting room is always filled
with zazies and children, brought
there by mothers who must wait for
hours until a case is heard. If there
is any place where a better baby
movement should focus it is in this
court. It is here where poor women
and frequently ignorant women
bring their undernOurished or i'm
properly nOurished children. The
children require medical inspection
lest one may spread some disease to
another. The mothers need advice
on the proper care Of children and
frequently need assistance in caring
for their children.
Again, there should be an employ
ment bureau connected with this
court, for many men would gladly
care for their families if they could
get work or be put in touch with
jobs
Again, the court is greatly handi-
capped by the misery attitude Of the
county in allowing only $4,000 a year
to bring back husbands who have de-
serted wives and children and gone
to other cities This not only limits
the number of men that can be
brought back, but it works a hard
ship on women in another way.
If it costs S24 actual railroad fare
to bring a man back from another
city, the county will allow only S26.

VISITOR TELLS OF SIGHTS
SEEN IN IMPERIAL VALLEY

L. Il. Brockman, the well-known
real estate man of 1102 West Broad
way, Glendale, who was down in the
Imperial valley few days ago, says
that everyone there is talking cotton,
says the Glendale Evening News.
"The valley" said Mr.. Brockman,
"is prosper us. One does not hear
any complaints there of bad times.
The people are genial and pleasant as
things are going we'll with them. This
is quite change from conditions as
they were in 1914 when the war broke
out. At that time cotton was so de-
rreciated in value that it only brought
seven cents. It takes from eight to
nine cents a pound to raise the crop
counting interest on land.
"Shortly after the war broke out
Britain undertook to purchase the
whole cotton crop and prices began
to rise. Just at present the price of
cotton runs from 18 cents pound
for the ordinary short staple cotton
tc "a cents a pound for the long sta
pie. All through the valley I saw
fields Of Durango, or long staple cot
ton that were producing one and a
half bales Of cotton per acre. A bale
of cotton v ighs 500 pounds. Thus
each acre would produce $3.50. No
wonder every rancher is turning every
available acre into cotton. Wherever
tie alfalfa fields are not showing up
to the average they are being plowed
Up and cotton is being planted in
stead.
"There is every justification for
this rush to plant cotton as there is
even now shortage of 100000
bales. The valley cotton is in great
demand as it is never spoiled by rain
and is Of a fine quality.
81 was in Calexico, which is the
American town on the border, while
Mexicali is the Mexican town just on
the other side. Calexico is the great
market Cor the cotton growers on
both sides of the border. Just now
it is wonderfully prosperous and
wonderfully busy. There are eight
cotton gins in the city and they are
running steadily. There are also two
presses for handling the cotton seed.
The seed is turned into oil and into
four or five different kinds of oil
cake or food for cattle. The cotton
seed brings $42 ton. AS there are
two pounds Of seed to every pound of
cotton it can be seen that the seed
is a very valuable product.
"In Calexico there is also COM
rressor for bailing the cotton and put
ting it in shape for shipment. I be-
,ieve this IS the only outfit of its
kind on the Pacific coast. In the
streets of Calexico one meets with
buyers from all parts of the world.
The japanese are in great promin
ence. They are among the principal
LCyerS. 1Aey snip tHeIr purchases oi-
rect to San Pedro, thence to Japan.
Representatives of large British firms
are also to be found here. 1t is I;
mecca of the nations.
"The valley has two other staple
products besides cotton-every vege-
tables, especially cantaloupes and dairy
products. The cantaloupes are easily
grown in the warm and favorable eli
