CORN SUCKERS.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers Or earless
stalks. which grow from an ear
bearing stalk of corn, are a him
sdrance to the est growth Of the lat
ear; and valuable hours are some
times spent in removing them. But,
according to Wallace's Farmer, act

from which the suckers had been re-
moved. Their leaves, like the others,
would seem to perform q useful Of

LOCKHART JUNCTION

Lockhart Junction, Jan. 24.-Sun-
day was a beautiful day and many
took advantage of it and attended the
Sunday school. Isn't it nice to enjoy
the privilege and opportunities that
are given US? How great are the
opportunities we have The church
and Sunday school and the everyday
school, and as | think about it and
see it, there should be the greatest
places for attraction and should be
the center of attraction and let us at
tend as we have the opportunity. A
single ideal, a single loyalty, single
ambition alone leads to greatness.
The Sunday school lesson last Sun
day was on the spirit of life Are we
living in that spirit? My dear
friend, we are living in fast age.
Have we stopped to think how we are
living in this age? Do we try to live
in the good spirit or are we living in
the evil spirit? Are you striving to
meet your fellow man with a good
warm welcome? Are you meeting
him with a good spirit? The longer
| live the more | learn; experience
and observation teach us great deal.
see how much of this life we have
lost by not living in the right spirit.
The body can be made valuable
aid to spiritual activity if its desires
and appetites are held in subsection
to the high and eternal purposes of
the soul Show me a man that wants
to do right and live in the right spirit
which is given by higher power and
| wi Sh HD
to take exception and offence at little
things.
This writer was in Spartanbure
county last week, stopping at the
home of Mr.. Noah Fowler, where !
spent the night. l enjoyed this stay
very much. Mr.. Fowler is a sub
scriber to The Times.
| met Mr.. M. NJ Pickens at White
Stone; also reader of The Times.
Now l will tell you what a friend
of mine told me. She said lady
friend of hers said to tell me to write
long letters and not miss writing to
the papers as she likes to read the
letters in The Times, for they seem to
be like letter from home. She
doesn't live in this county, but you
see she is thinking of the old home in
Union county. Oh, you see there is
10 place like home, as the poet has
lput it.
Now this writer is a booster and
not knocker l can meet you on
your streets, or on the public high
way, in your homes or anywhere and
like to hear your jokes and am not a
long-faced fellow. l like to see our
preachers ready to joke little, for
if they don't you will find them as
we find others, straining at gnat and
swallowing a camel.
4 Now, dear readers, some might take
this writer to be a crank, but if you
don't mind you will be fooled. With
out the joke and little fun as we
have, life would be most miserable
lbat behind this and deep down in this
fellow is a hig heart for the principle
of upbuilding and right living.

CAMPUS DOMAIN IN PERIL
 SAYS AMERICAN ADVENTURER
Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner

Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner)
 CALEXICO, Nov. 15.-Edward B. Brown arrived in the city from San Diego yesterday and tells a rather thrilling tale of experiences in Mexico serving under the banners of various revolutionists.
 He declares that he was with Pan- cho Villa at Agua Prieta when he captured that city in November, 1915.
 As a soldier of fortune and wan derer, he later served under Zapata and then threw in his fortunes with the Legalista faction.
 While following the Legalistas, he was bitten by particularly venem- ous Mexican insect, he stated. which suspended his usefulness as a soldier.
 He boarded the boat, San Diego at Salina Cruz and was brought to San Diego with a number of refuges.
 He declared that at Guaymas he saw 2000 Carranzistas encamped whose mission is to enter Lower California and wrest control of it from Col. Cantu. He says he not only saw these soudiers, but talked to them as well.
 The soldiers claimed, he says that there are 2OOO additional Carranza troops at Mazatlan and that regiment of these also will be sent into Baja California.
 The only thing delaying the troops, Brown states, is the lack of boats and that they are expecting transports at any time.
 The story of the troops at Guaymas has come to Calexico a number of times previously.
 The last time that it came an off cial statement issued from the offices of Col. Estuban Cantu, military gov ernor of Lower California, was to the effect that the troops at Guaymas were gathered there to escort a new governor to La Paz, oanital or the southern district of Lower Califor- pia

Yuma the Seven Billion Dollar Oasis

Hon. John M. Hess, former Yuma attorney, in the October Irrigation Age, calls the Yuma project seven billion dollar oasis, in a lengthy article on Irrigation As a Means of Prepared ness For Defence" Picturing the won derful possibilities of this Southwes- tern Empire, MT. Hess says:
 Under the direction of Goethals and his mighty Panama engineers, with the Ludys, Yarwoods, the Marbles, the Sanguinetti's, the Hodges, and the countless able men along the river that know it, there will be placed a hydro-electric power plant every IF miles throughout the length of the 2200 miles of this mighty river and it's branches. These men with this money will conserve every drop of it's 132,000 cubic second feet of maximum flow; they will reservoir it's flood-wave in the 10000 box canyons along it's noun tain sides, and run cool and life-giving to the hungry, waiting desert that has longed for centuries to give it's bless ings to it's children yet to be; they vii fill the 1000 desert dry lakes" adia- cent to it's mesas, and keep them for ever replenished, until all the noun tain desert shall drink from the cloud mists formed here in it's valley bosom, an the cattle feeding on a thousand hills shall glad the eyes of man where today are the bare rocks only; at each dam they will place their silt pit, for the enriching of the meSaS, and their boat and ship locks that shall world, and the waters at the dams they will harness to the turbine and the dynamo, creating electric power for transportation, sending their trol- ley cars for freight and passengers through every square mile of the cOun- try and power for manufacturing all their raw material into finished prod ucts into finished articles of com merce, for lighting the homes and for developing the mines within 200 miles of each ~hydro-electric dam center. every twelve miles throughout the ter ritory 400 miles wide by the full length of the river, in ten short years from the time Goethals is done, your re- claimed land will be worth s59,000,0G0 000 Fifty billions in cash. The des- ert reclaimed is the ideal home of mankind.
 Continuing, Mir Hess says: Yes, to this mighty Laguna project this same government has voted a niggardly half-million dollars, and has voted to the navy four hundred fifty million dollars and to the army four hundred seventy million dollars, and to the Mexican punitive expedition one hun dred thirty-five million dollars. One billion dollars spent on war in times Of profound peace. We are at war with no nation.
