SCHOOL VOTERS T0 PASS UPON
 L0T EXCHANGE
Swap of Properties With Gas Company Will Come Before Voters Today; Op- position Seems Slight

Shall School District No. sell Block l3, Montgomery Addition, Sec ond avenue and Third avenue and Grant and sherman streets. to the Pacific Gas X Electric company and purchase from the same company Block l5, Montezuma and Fourth ave nues. and Grant and Sherman streets?"
 This is the question upon which tax payers and parents or children of school age will be called upon to vote today at a special school election to be held at Central school building from 10 o'clock this morning until 6 o'clock this afternoon. Owing to the import ance of the proposed sale and pur- chase, in which no actual cash is in volved, the school board urges that every person eligible to vote visit the polls today and cast a vote for or against the proposition. Only in this way can representative vote be se- cured
 Two lots of equal size and equal market value are involved Block 13 is located two city squares from Block 15, upon which the Grant school stands Upon it is small frame building now employed for school pur- poses. Block l5 immediately adjoins that upon which the Grant school building stands. It is owned by the Pacific Gas & Electric company This company has already begun the con struction of a lampblack settling plant Considerable excavation has been car ried out and unless the citizens vote for what amounts to an eX- change of property the time will not be far distant when big tanks filled with water piped from the gas plant and covered with lampblack, a by product of the local gas plant. will cover the surface of this big square.
 Not alone is the question of whether such d plant should adjoin such valu- able property as that where the new and modern Grant school stands but there is also the question of whether or not 1t will not be wiser to have two school blocks contiguous to each other, rather than a short distance re- moved from the other.
 In calling final attention to today's election, the school board feels that it is only right and proper that every person interested should present them selves at the polls and cast their vote That there is a certain opposition to the proposed exchange is admitted but the real question seems not to be so much whether the school board should exchange properties as whether more is at stake in the future in having the proposed lampblack plant located alongside the Grant school, than there is in having it located just little further east.
 Incidental to the tentative agreement for the exchange, the school board agrees to remove the frame structure valued at about Sl,000 Reconsideration of the Pacific Gas & Electric company lllling in the excavations it has already made

Eugene Redewill Wevi@e@ Clever
 Publicity Plan

Eugene Redewill, something of a genius at music, but more of oenius at advertising, is accused by his friends of having devised brand new scheme for publicity. While it may cause him some per sonaI inconvenience, they point out that there will be no one in a large section who will not know of him and his business project.
 A charge has been brought against the clever Eugene at Yuma in which he is accused of violating a Yuma ordinance by taking orders for the installation of Delco private lighting plants without first having taken out the regulation occupa tional permit. Mr. Redewill is ac cused of having sold il Deico plants in Yuma without license.
 In all probability the fine will be a small one, but think of the adver Using. Everyone in Yuma will know that he is selling Delco plants and that he has already convinced il of their neiehbors of the ad vantage of this private lighting system.

Vivian Martin at Lamara

Vivian Martin endearingly known as the sweetest girl in pictures, comes to the I.amara today in a story that contains almost everything known to the scenario writer There is humor. intense pathOs. melodramatic fighting, and above all an intensely interesting love story that runs through the picture.
 Vivian Martin is seen in the role of a newsic whose persistent habit of always looking on she bright side of things has earned for her the name of Little Miss Optimist." Her cheery disposition has gained for her many customers so that her earnings are sufficient to pay for her keep with q more or less kindly foster mother. Among her cherished possessions is d lucky dime to which she attributes what success she has known.

CAMP FUNSTON, Kas., Oct. H. The men of the new national army at Camp Funston, Kas., are rapidly rounding into shape.

DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORM.
Upper Cecil County Swept BY Storm
That Does Thousands OF
Dollars Damage.

One of the most severe hail storms
ever known in this section occurred
Friday evening, between five and six
o'clock, and the damage to crops will
reach thousands of dollars. The
storm lasted probably half an hour
during which time two or three
inches of hail fell, the force with
which it was driven by the terrific
wind literally cutting growing crops
to pieces, smashing window glass
and doing a great deal of other
damage.
Trees were blown down, fences
wrecked, and other devastation
wrought by the wind. Telephone
lines suffered greatly by falling trees
and limbs breaking numerous wires.
Corn was stripped of it's blades by
the hail, leaving the bare stalks
standing with the ears hanging to
them. In this locality a large acre
age of buckwheat had been planted
and the crop, which was nearly
ready to harvest, was completely
ruined, being cut off and driven into
the ground by the hail. Tomatoes,
cabbage, beans, ETC., suffered by be-
ing cut to pieces Apple trees were
stripped of their fruit, gardens
wrecked, etc. No estimate can be
placed on the crop loss sustained by
numerous of our farmers whose
fields were in the path of the destruc-
tive storm, but it is large and falls
heavily upon them.
Another large item of damage was
that of shattered window glass.
Different farm dwellings in this
neighborhood suffered anywhere
from two or three broken panes to as
high as forty and fifty, in some in
stances even the curtains on the
inside being cut to shreds. The large
greenhouse of Howard Brown, east
of town, had every pane of glass on
the north side of the structure
smashed, but not one on the south
side.
The path of the storm was not
WluC, piOpapAy q Coup1S VI AIllOo,
and extending across the upper end
of the county, nor was it's duration
long but the damage done was heavy.
The hail stones were not large, but
the fall was heavier than any storm
that has swept this section for years,
which combined with the terrific
wind raging accounts for the great
damage done.
