Winter:
When icicles hang BY the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail
And Tom bears logs into the hall
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipp'd and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
"Tu-whit, tu-who"
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
When all aloud the wind doth blow
And coughing browns the parsons saw
And birds sit brooding in the snow
And N1arian's nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
"Tu-whit, tu-who!
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

Who is Silvia? What is she,
That all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair and wise is she;
The heaven such grace did lend her,
That she might admired be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair
To help him of his blindness,
And being help'd, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing
That Silvia is excelling;
She excels each mortal thing
Upon the dull earth dwelling.
To her let us garlands bring.

Whilst the screech owl, screeching loud,

That the graves, all gaping wide,
Every one lets forth his sprite,
In the church-way paths to glide.

ANOTHER KILLING

After Shooting Frank

MURDER COMMITTED
PRESENCE WITNESSES
Woman Is Alleged to Have
Been Cause of Trouble
Between the Men.
MURDER COMMITTED
PRESENCE WITNESSES

Without word of warning other
than a call which did not convey hos
tiity, "Bill' Toland, negro, shot
ard almost instantly killed Frank
Fpps, another negro, at Imperial late
yesterday evening. Toland surren-
dered without word of comment to
Detectives Kemp and Mccormick, who
arrived at the scene before he had
started to leave it, and was brought
to the county Jail.
According to particulars given last
night, Epps met Toland in a barber
shop. They talked together, and did
rot seem to be planning or contem-
plating trouble. Their actions were
not such as to attract the attention
of the others in the shop.
At closing time they started to
leave, with Epps slightly in advance
OF Toland. When the latter came
from the shop he called to Epps, who
turned toward the door. Whipping
out big revolver, Toland fired three
shots into Epps' breast. While a
post mortem examination had not
been held, it is believed one of the
bullets went through Epps' heart.
The excited witnesses of the shoot
ing surrounded the dying man, while
one of the number went to summon
a doctor. Epps was dead before the
physician arrived, expiring on the
ground where he fell.
1t is said the men had had trouble
over woman and that the shooting
was the result of jealousy.

Los Angeles, Dec. S.-PatrOl-
man A. J. Griffin this afternoon
confessed that he yesterday
robbed the express wagon. He
had started spending the money,
and his wife's appearance this
morning in a new car caused sus-
picion, so he was summoned be-
fore the police officials and con-
fessed. He said that the hat
found near the scene of the rob-
berry, with his initial. was his.
He had deposited large sum of
money in a local bank.
(By United Press

thousand dollars in checks was
returned by mail to the First Ma

Interest in the Charity Ball to be

they desire to make happy at Christ

pie.

EXPECT BITTER
MACEDONIA
CLASH
(By United Press)

London, Dec. 8.-The Germans all
along the entire Monistria front are
reinforcing. 1t is believed the Teu-
tons are preparing for a powerful Of
fcnsive against the Allied forces in
Macedonia, using the troops no Ion
ger needed in Rumania. 1t is pre-
sunned the puIlianians in evacu&ting
Bucharest plan to reorganize below
Moldevis, as with an orderly retreat
the troops are intact. Renewal Of
bitter fighting at Debrudjal is eX-
pected.
The German advance beyond Buc
harest is so rapid that the Ruman-
ians in the mountains at Predeal and
Altschanz passes have had their re-
treat destroyed. Over 10000 prison
ers were taken yesterday. Most of
the Rumanians' important towns are
now in Teuton hands.

Owing to Heavy Criminal
Calendar May Not Fin
ish Until Jan. 1.
SPECIAL FEATURE
TO REQUIRE BOND
City Trustees May Be Asked
to Prohibit Soliciting
on the Streets.

District Attorney Galen Nichols is
engaged on the preparation of coun-
ty ordinance to provide regulation of
stage traffic. Owing to the crowded
criminal calendar at this time it is not
believed that the official will be able
to complete the ordinance much be-
fore January l.
One of the features to be incOrpO-
rated in the ordinance will be pro-
vision which demands that bonds be
furnished by all drivers and owners.
This, it is claimed, will give patrons
an opportunity for indemnificatiOn in
case of accident or damage sustained.
1t is also hinted that the city
Z trustees will be asked to prohibit
j the solicitation of trade on the
public streets by stage drivers.
1t is customary for the stage,
upon leaving the depot, to take
one or two swings around Main
street before departure for other
towns. 1t is claimed by many that
this practice is a nuisance and
not conducive to the convenience
of the passengers.

To ORGANIZE FARM
LOAN BUREAU HERE

The County Farm Bureau yester-
day called meeting to be held IN
the new Wilson grammar school in
IL Centre for 1:30 p. M, December
16, for the purpose of organizing
farm loan association to obtain loans
for it's members under the provisions
of the Federal Farm Loan act.
The Farm Bureau has been active
in making known the provisions and
conditions of the act and in October
brought Dr. Elwood Mead, chairman
of the California Rural Credits Com
mission, to speak upon the new law.
Since that time the Bureau has taken
a census of prospective borrowers and
returns indicate that an association OF
several hundred borrowers will be
formed in the Valley.
Money under the new Farm Loan
act will probably not be available be
fore March, but the Farm Bureau
has been asked by the Federal Farm
Loan Board to proceed with the or
ganization of the local loan aSsocia-
ton. Rumors that the Farm Loan
act would not be extended to Imper-
ia Valley on account of the water
situation are secuted at the Farm
Bureau office as absolutely unfound-
e0.
The call for the organization meet
ing is as follows:
"The Federal Farm Loan Commits
sion has located the Farm Loan
Banks, one of which is to be estab-
Ilished in Sacramento, and they have
advised that the local associations be
organized and the officers elected at
once. In view of this advice, the
loan committee Of the Farm Bureau
has called meeting of all pros
rective borrowers to meet in the au-
Iditorium of the Wilson grammar
school in FL Centre at 1870 p. m,
December 16.

the whirling Diana once waved greet

The Garden, scene of innumerahle
