The new board of supervisors met last Tuesday and reorganized. On account of the illness of Supervisor Shanssy the boardl held it's first meet ing at his residence, where Supervisor Ike Probstel was duly elected chair man to succeed John A. Donovan, and Miss Miller was elected clerk of the board to succeed R. I. Minn, who is now county recorder. The board was in session all last week, it's principle work being to select the new jury and to order work stopped on the mesa road. It is promised that within the next sixty days a comprehensive plan for the construction of good roads" will have been worked out, especially good road from Yuma to Blaisdell, the latter being one of the much needed improvements in Yuma county.

does the "short" staple, and thatit takes from 1850 to 175O pounds of seed cotton to make 800 pound bale, whereas, it takes but 1500 pounds of "short'' staple to make the same size bale That is not a very great diff ference, either in cost of picking or in weight, when the value of the bale is considered. ONE BALE OF EGYP- THAN IS WORTH ABOUT TWO BALES OF SHORT" STAPLE. And I understand that each yields about alike. From my viewpoint, therefore, would plant Egyptian cotton. But don't plant it unless you intend to give it honest attention.

Never tasted such delicious grape fruit in my life," was the comment of Floyd P.

1t was all very episodic-at least 1T
was to everyone perhaps but the few
who took part in it. Sometimes,
however, the most tense little dram
as take place in a short space OF
time, the result, perchance, of an
episode.
This episode took place in the
subway, the New York subway.
Everyone likes to hear a story about
New York. Those who live there
avidly devour anything pertaining
to their manners and customs, and
those who live in other smaller
cities or towns read with just as
much interest stories that happen in
and around New York.
Ellen had come to the city to find
work, and through the efforts of
some kind friends she had obtained
a good position. She was a sweet
looking girl and had not absorbed
many city customs, therefore she
, was natural and unaffected. When
| the first hot day came to the city
| she did as she had always done in
| the country, or in the small town
| where she had lived, and dressed
comfortably.
If all the girls in the larger cities
dressed comfortably there would be
no more Summer" furs and many
/
dictates are of more importance any
| day than the mere fact of being
| comfortable; and on the particular
| day featuring in this story, when
Ellen entered the subway train in
! cool little Summer frock and a
wide brimmed hat, she encountered
the hostile gaze of two city damsels
across the way.
Ellen looked at them interestedly,
| interesting to any layman. They
were both young and pretty, and
very, very smart. They wore one
| piece frocks of blue serge with
pointed satin collars. They wore
! chic little hats with tight face wells,
and around their throats fluffy fur
| boas. Their cheeks were family pink
| and not trace of moisture disfig.
| ured the smoothness of their skin.
Ellen thought them marvellous, but
/ they did not return the compliment.
One of them smiled and above
the roar of the train as it slowed
down for a station, her biting COM
ment could be plainly heard.
Look at little Nellie from the
country, she looks exactly like the
heroine of a motion picture. All
she needs is her hair down her
back"
Inc girl Wltn ner smiled lO1tlly.
Yes, isn't 1t weird, my dear, the
queer get-ups one sees sometimes.
Some girls think about everything
in the world but appropriate dress"
Neither of these girls was con-
sciously cruel. OF course. all youth
is a little bit cruel, but neither
wanted to hurt the little girl oppo-
site. Neither wished her to over
hear what they were saying. They
! were just sublimely satisfied with
| themselves, and needed to express
their feelings. And neither thought
of analyzing that word "appropri-
ate" To a dislnterested person 1t
might have sounded laughable.
Ellen flushed. deeply, however, and
her eyes dropped. She wondered
miserably If the remark had been
heard by any one else, the nice look
| ing elderly man in the corner, or the
college boy next to her. She won
dered, too, what was wrong with her
dress. and the pretty voile gown
which she had thought so attractive
seemed suddenly countrified, and the
wide hat Inappropriate and child
ish. In word, she was rendered

he had given forth gladness rose
in my heart that made me again
that merry boy Robert
And it was with a great industry
for a short hour that we prepared
the Camp Heaven for soiourn of
night. Upon very nice hot fire
put good bacon to cook, and my
gouverneur set also the pot of coffee
upon the Goals. Then, while 1 made
crisp with the heat the brown corn
pones with which that Granny Bell
had provided us. he brought large
armful of a very fragrant kind of
tree and threw it not far into the
shadow of the great tree which was
the roof to our Camp Haven.
Bed" he SAID as he came and
stood beside the fire in a large tow
ering over me. l dropped beyond
rescue a fragment of that corn bread
into the extreme heat of the Goals,
but l said, with a great composure
and briefness like unto his words.
Supper"
why is it that a man thinks he
wants more of life's good than IA
| tigue, supper and bed, do you sup
pose, boy?" questioned my Gouver-
| neur Faulkner to me as at last in
| repletion he leaned back against our
giant roof tree between two of whose
hospitable large roots we had made
our repast, and lighted a pipe of
! great fragrance. which he had taken
| from his pocket.
Il would not possess happiness
even though I had this nice supper
| If l was alone in this great forest,
| your excellency. I would fear" l
answered him, with a small laugh
| as I took my corduroy knees into my
embrace and looked off into that dis
tant valley below US which was be-
! ginning to glow with stars of home
! lights.
Didn't I tell you once that you
! don't count, that you are just my
self, youngster? You ought not to
| know l am here. I don't know you
| exist except as a form of pleasure
Of which 1 do not ask the reason"
was the answer that my Gouverneur
Faulkner made to me.
II excuse myself away with hum
bleness for impertinence, your ex-
! cellency," | returned to him.
IF you tried do you think you
could call me Bill just for tonight,
boy?" was the answer he made to
my excuses as he puffed beautiful
ring of smoke at me.
II could not" l answered with an
indignation.
Il heard you call Sue Tomlinson
Sue the first night you danced with
| her"
But that Mile. Sue is a woman,
my Gouverneur Faulkner" I answer
ed, with haste.
That's the reason that women get
at us to do us. youngster. We don't
approach them as human to human.
but we go up on their blind side and
they come back at us in the dark
with a knife" And as he spoke all
of the gayness of joy was lost from
the voice of my beloved gouverneur,
and in its place was bitterness.

suddenly miserable, self conscious
and unhappy by a couple of unnec-
essary remarks from couple of self
centered girls.
Ellen sat still, not daring to raise
her eyes lest they betray the fact
that she had overheard the conver-
sation, and it wasn't until they had
passed three stations that she took
courage to raise her head and scan
the advertisements that ran along
the top of the car. AS she did, she
could not help noticing that the nice
looking elderly man in the corner
had been joined by an acquaintance
and that they were both glancing her
way. Again the lessening of the roar
made the conversation audible, and
again she was the topic of conver-
sation.
1T isn't often that one seas a girl
dressed as sensibly, is it?" the nice
looking man was saying.
mo, they are neraly all dressed
up like the ones opposite" said the
other, ridiculous, call it. No won
| der we have so many heat pros
| trations during the summer. 1 should
think they'd happen oftener than
| they do"
Ellen raised her eyes suddenly tc
those of the girls opposite her, and
met, instead of studied self-assurance
the slightly EN- barrassed, slightly an.
noyed look that signified that they
had also overheard. They had red
| dened, too, and looked just a little
| bit warm and fiustered.
Neither said anything for a mo-
ment, and Ellen did not know why
she suddenly felt more at ease. She
would have flashed a grateful look
at the nice-looking elderly man, but
she knew that il would never do, sc
she smiled inwardly instead, and
promptly forgot the hurt. 1t had
| been only a surface hurt anyway.

Advice to the Lovelorn

He Is Wrong

IIC NLOHB
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My fiance and 1 love each other
dearly, and for the past nine months
have been very happy. We have al
ways been truthful to one another
and have no secrets. Now that the
swimming season is here, go down
to the beach about twice during the
week, and occasionally see a man
have known for three years, and al
though 1 merely say good day" my
fiance does not approve. He says
and firmly believes that should not
go anywhere or have any pleasure
/ that he cannot share.
Do you think he is justified in de-
nying me of this innocent, health
full pleasure, which have thorough
| ly enjoyed for five years?
have given up all my friends for
him at his request, and did so will
| ingly. l.. c. NJ.
AS you state the case, there seems
to be absolutely no reason why you
should be deprived of your trip along
the beach and of the swimming
which you so much enjoy. 1t seems
as If your fiance were somewhat in
clined to be jealous and suspicious
I and quite unfair in his demands
But, perhaps, there is another side
to the story. You may be a little in.
clined to coquet; you may be over.
! ly fond of good times. If there /.
no more in the case than you have
stated, he is wrong and you ough
to be allowed to enjoy your swim
ming without further discussion.

BOOKS AND MAGAZINES

A. d. McLaren has written a
startling account of the Peaceful
Penetration" practiced by Germany
which will be published within a
week or two by f. P. Dutton & Co.
1t makes a careful and thorough
exposition of the methods which
have been used by the German gov
ernment during the last quarter CEN
tury or more to geet footholds in
other countries, to use commercial
advantages for political ends, to fill
friendly countries with spies and to
provide means by which it can TO-
ment trouble in any country where
1t could gain advantage by so doing.
Mr.. McLaren, who is the author of
"Germanism From Within" ~ublish-
ed last year, has been for thirty
years a close student of German af-
fairs. He spent the last seven years
before the war living in Germany in
closest contact with all sections and
classes of people. His new book will.
it is said, be an eye opener for easy
going and generous minded Ameri-
cans.
Captain Bruce Bairnsfather's
sketches set all England chuckling,
when they first appeared in the
Bystander, and they have met with
as hearty a welcome by Americans
who have had the luck to see them.
Even German prisoners have been
known to become hilarious over
these indescribable pictures of life
in the trenches. Now, with their
amusing captions, they have been
gathered into volume and will
be published in September by the
Putnams under the title of Frag-
ments from France.

And I was very glad indeed that
he did not go with me for that toilet
to my hands, for it might have hap
pened that a noise would have de-
prived me of a very beautiful thing
that discovered, through a window
under q vine or roses that opened
upon that back porch.
A very pretty young girl, with hair

lay upon white bed beneath quilt
of many colors. The eyes of the
mother were closed, and her arm
held a babe loosely as if in deep
dreaming. 1 softly poured the water
into the basin, made clean my hands
and quietly withdrew into the kitch-

awaken her. On my cheeks l could
feel deep glow Of color, and some

And all that long day in the soft
early spring which was bursting into
a budding and a Towering under the
feet of our horses and above our
heads in the trees, it was the woman
Roberta that rode at the side of my
Gouverneur Faulkner with her heart
at ache under her coat of a man. II
was with difficulty that l forced my
eyes to meet and make answer to
the merriment and joy of the woods
in his deep ones, and | was of great
gladness when the descending of the
sun brought a moon silvered twilight
down upon us from the young green
branches of the large trees of the
forest through which we rode.
Time to make camp. We've got tc
old Jutting rock. You are halfway
UP between heaven and earth, young

as he drew to O. halt his horse in
front of me and pointed down into
the dim valley that lay at our feet.
