HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Everybody in High School is busy
with examinations this week, these ex-
aminations in most cases covering the
half years work. The periods are
short, only covering 40 minutes, and
consequently the examinations are
brief and strictly to the point.
No musicale will be held Friday
morning on account of the examina-
tions, but as a relaxation Central meets
Imperial in basketball game Satur-
day. Weather permitting. the games
will be played at Imperial at the usual
time and in the usual order, i. e., the
girls will play first. AS basketball
and examinations come so close to-
gether it is problematical which will
suffer most. 1t is hoped neither will
show bad results.

MIR. Egerer's Views.
William Egerer, the sole trustee vot-
ing against the 9-hour rule, said to-
day that he knew of no reason why
the contractor could not increase his
force sufficiently to complete the sew
err, but if it should happen that its
completion would be delayed month
or two, it would be in the summer,
which is the healthiest time of year
here.
He declared he is in favor of en-
forcing the 8-hour rule because that
is the law in California, and he knew
of no emergency justifying an eva
sion of the law.

Another great storm has struck the
coast, and again trains are delayed.
A dispatch to Agent O. p. Smith of
the Southern Pacific this morning an
nounced that trains would not leave
for Santa Barbara or San Francisco
until evening and no eastbound train
would leave until 9. The latter would
imply that the train for the valley
will not arrive until after midnight.
There is no official statement be-
yond this, but it is reported that a
small bridge has washed out at Owl
Siding, this side of Banning. 1t is
thought this may imply further trou-
BILE in the Whitewater country, where
it is believed to be raining hard to-
day.
Details from the coast are meagre,
but it is not believed the storm has
yet been of long enough duration to
repeat the great damage of last week,
though the warm rain on the great
mass of snow in the mountains may
bring serious results.
There was sprinkle of rain here
this morning, and storm clouas nung
heavily, especially over the mountains,
while during the cay they have been
gathering in dense mass, and condi-
tions are favorable for rainy night.
The warm temperature also is indica-
tive of rain conditions.
Rain fell heavily this morning from
Brawley northward, and from inland
to the coast there was heavy down.
pour. tt is feared this will result in
washouts along the railroad.

of the Imperial Valley creamery.
This great creamery now building
will make of Ell Centre the greatest
butter-p producing center of the Pa

coming the greatest dairy region, and
as an industrial proposition there is
no other agricultural line that is so
substantial or continuous in it's pros

The future of the town and of the
valley is being greatly promoted by
these rapid steps being taken in the
greatest industry of Imperial county,

It is now apparent that the amazing
rise of the dairy industry in Imperial
county has challenged the attention
of all dairymen in the nation, and
breeders of thoroughbred livestock are
for the first time coming to realize
what is bSing done here.
When johnson & linn the other day
broke the coast record in the sale of
Holstein bulls brought here by T. H.
Wilson, the success was heralded
throughout the coast especially. Since
then number of the biggest breed
ers have come here to look over the
ground, and among the latest arri-
walls is f. S. Stimson of Hollywood,
Wash, whose stock it was that Mr..
Wilson brought here.
Mr.. Stimson expresses amazement
at what he has already seen here, and
is planning on getting good many
more head of his Holstein-F -Friesian
cattle here.
Local dairymen who have been
struggling along for years in building
up the industry have realized the de-
STABILITY of getting higher grade of
cattle, but have been unable to do so
until now. AT last the time has come,
however, when great step forward
can be taken in this respect, and the
next few years will not simply see
vast increase in the number of cat
tie, but still more important in
crease in the production per head of
cows.
There is now being built by the
California Creamery Company in Ell
Centre what will be the largest cream
cry west of the Missouri, and it is be-
ing built most solidly of reinforced
concrete, and with every modern de-
vice for sanitation and economy of
production.

l started to talk to you the other
day about the wonderful army of the
Swiss republic as the only rational
model for a nation that desires to
have the means Of defense. Here is
some more about it.
When was living at Montreaux, on
the shore of Lake Geneva, l happened
to stroll early one morning into the
market square. On a market day
the place is packed full of dealers and
bargaining citizens; but this wasn't
market day and it was as empty as
cave dweller's head.
All of a sudden two soldiers bounced
in. don't know from where: they
seemed to rise out of the ground.
They were uniformed and completely
equipped, each carrying his rifle and
even the skin-covered knapsack and
little wooden canteen.
The next moment soldiers were
striding into the square from all di-
rections, similarly equipped. Each
went to seemingly appointed place
in regular lines until the square was
filled with silent, attentive and per-
fectly ordered companies, with Off
GERS in place.
Presently queer kind of wagon,
being in truth a kitchen on wheels,
rolled into the square and served a
hot breakfast. The men stood in their

SWISS SYSTEM WOULD GIVE US

BY Theodore Roosevelt

By Theodore Roosevelt
Ultimately I believe with all
my heart that we must come to a
system of universal service on
the Swiss or Australian models,
adapted of course = to our own
needs. This is the method of
true democracy. In free repub-
lie rights should only be allowed
as corollaries to duties. No man
has right to vote who shirks
his obligations to the state
whether in peace or war. The
full citizen must do a citizens
full duty; and he can only do his
full duty if he fits himself to
fight for the common good of all
citizens in the hour of deadly per-
il of the nations life. Manhood
suffrage should mean manhood
service in war just as much as in
peace. People speak in praise of
volunteers. l also praise the vol
unteer who volunteers to fight.
But l do not praise the volunteer
who volunteers to have somebody
else fight in his place. Univer-
sal service is the only way by
which we can secure real democ-
racy, real fairness and justice.
Every able-bodied youth in the
land should be proud to, and
should be required to, prepare
himself thoroughly to protect the
nation from armed aggression.-

mournful.
But the purple pansy also serves as
a useful conversation opener. MY
