tonne is hung on arrow shaped rods
instead of the plain brass lengths of
curtain rod and is trimmed in fat lit
tie stuffed hearts in lieu of stuffed
silk apples which have been borne SO
monotonously by every darning bag
this season. An irresistible skating
bag has fat little kepie in smiles
and nothing else skating badly across
it's side in yarn embroidery.
The most elaborate, ornate and ex-
pensive of the valentine tokens have
glimpsed is a heart-shaped brooch Of
rubies pierced by an arrow of plati-
mum from whose point drips a drop
of ruby gore. The incest Valentine
gift, l think, is hand-carved old
gilt and blue wood frame enshrining
the photograph of The-Only- -Man-in-
the World. And think what a prac-
tical and useful gift for next year
it will be, for it will be so easy to
change the photograph for another
of the 1918 or more current Only
Man-in-the- World.

TEACHERS CAN LEARN MUCH
FROM NEWSPAPER METHODS

The school teacher can learn many
useful lesson from the newspaper
man as to how to attract and hold
the attention of pupils and how to
present information so vitally and
vividly that it will be remembered
and used. Newspapers and their
methods may be made valuable i'm
plements for use in the class ROOM
Such are the theories of a course in
"The Elements of Newswriting," to
be given in the next summer session
of the University of California, from
June 25 to August a. This and all
the other courses in journalism in the
next summer session will be in charge
of Professor Colin V. Dyment, who
has just resigned from the School of
Journalism of the University of Ore
gon to become head of the Depart
ment of Journalism of the Univer-
sity of Washington.
Those who want to make newspa-
per work their occupation, as well as
teachers who realize the value of
study of newspaper methods, in Pro-
fessor Dyment's course in practical re-
porting, will use the whole campus
as news laboratory. Training will
be given in finding fresh sources of
news, in the art of gathering five
times as much information on a par
ticul subject as there is room to print,
in order that what is printed may be
a distillation of essentials, and the
cultivation of accuracy and atmos-
phere. The students whose work is
found good will see themselves in
print in the Summer Session in Cali
fornia." There will be course, too
for those who have had some news
paper experience, on The Art of
Composition in Newswriting." Copy
reading, handwriting, the handling Of
telegraph material, and editing in
general, will be dealt with in an ad-
vanced course on "The Preparation
of Copy for Publication" intended for
those who have had some newspaper
experience.

String Reans.


Why can't a bean be bean and
let it 60 at that?
Most beans are beans, except string
beans. But was the string bean sat
isfied to be just bean? No. 1t
had to grow string and nearly ruin
itself.
And why? Did it have any prac-
Itical idea in mind when it did it?
Has any string bean ever justified
it's string? No. 1t just did it be-
cause it could.
A string bean can be denatured aft
er it's back is broken so that it's al
most fit to eat. But give a dish of
them a chance at cheap restaurant
or when your wife's in a hurry, and
see what it does to you. It'll tongue
tie you, that's what it'll do.
However, we have nobody but our
selves to blame for the string bean.
Washington warned US against en-
tangling alliances.
Luther Burbank could deliver US
from the string bean.
Why doesn't he do it?

Big EATERS GET
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder
Irrigation or Back
ache.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much an all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid, which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elm
ination tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel liks Jumps
of lead; you back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you
are obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have
rheumatism when the weather is bad,
get from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa-
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
hthia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
lushing any time.

on the agricultural phase and that
each lawyer will consider the social
or community side.
Following the barbecue, the Assem-
bly, will be resumed. AS it is also the
annual meeting of the Farm Bureau,
the record for the past year and the
program for the coming term will be
outlined, the directors having request
ed Farm Adviser Dougherty to make
the report on their behalf.
The proposed Imperial Irrigation
district bond issue will be explained by
G. E. Anderson of the board of con-

to hear authoritative statements re-

HOSTS TO CONVENE
IMPERIAL SATURDAY

This Saturday-February 10-is the
date of the second annual Agricultural
Assembly. 1t will be held in the high
school auditorium at Imperial, the ses-
sions beginning shortly before 10
o'clock. Between 1000 and 1900 per-
sons are expected and the people of
Imperial, through the Imperial Ad
Club, have devoted much time and eff
fort that the city's guests may be hos
ritably entertained. At noon, the city
will be host at big free barbecue.
Because of the big program, it will
be begun early and members OF the
bureau are asked to arrive by 10
o'clock. The sessions will begin at
that time. On the morning program is
a convention of the farm loan associa-
tions of the valley, which will prove
profitable to those contemplating max
ing loans under the new federal act.
Date growers are also to assemble to
hear talk on the subject by DR.. K.
n. Forbes, dean of the Arizona expert
ment station. Another event that is
sure to attract attention is the debate
On whether livestock or cotton IS most
profitable for the valley. The livestock
industry will be represented by Sam
B. Robinson of Eastside farm center
and Judge E. r. Simon, deputy district
attorney. The cotton side will be pre-
sented by w. f. Wilsie, pioneer Du-
range grower and M. w. Conkling,
also a cotton grower. 1t is expected

talk on the old and new farming of
this region which is sure to interest.
DR.. Elwood Mead, chairman of the
state commission on land colonization
and rural credits, will discuss coloni-
zation. The prospect that Imperial
valley may be selected for one of the
demonstrations of the Australian land
colonization system adds interest to
DR.. Mead's visit.
Many other matters of vital interest
to the valley will be brought up in the
congress. C. F. Boarts has the ar
rangements in charge and w. E. Pack

New York, Feb.-Alas, poor little
Dan Cupid is trailing his rosy wings
in the dust. He leans, sad and dis
couraged, on his quiver, with quiver
of his under lip. Since munition mil
lionaires are buying up hearts and
rubies and scarves of Point de Ven-
Use to present to their fair Valen-
tines this February IA, Cupid feels
red satin hearts and paper lace frills
won't have a chance.
Oh, where are the paper lace and
tinsel valentines of yesterday? The
hand painted satin hearts pierced with
gilded darts. all amorously inscribed
with some choice and burning senti-
ment fresh from a passionate poets
pen. They are in the dust heap of
the Gods along with the broken vows,
shattered hearts and withered flow
ers.
The modern maid is educated up to
more expensive love tokens. She in
sists that the tinsel of her valentine
be at least 14-karat, if not %. Her
paper lace must be real lace and apy
hearts coming her way must be shiny
jeweled ones instead of shiny satin.
Even the more sensible good old
fashioned girls (and there really are
a few left balk at a picture card
token that is rich only in sentiment.
They will be made blissfully happy,
however, with heart-shaped box of
sweets, heart-shaped beaded bag or
one of those lovely lingerie pillows of
Cluny and filet lace, heart shaped,
over slip of rosy satin.
Heart shaped pincushions to match
are also apropos and there are pack
ages of delicately tinted satin hearts
of satchet that are to be shifted at
and yet won't be. Heart shaped birch
bark baskets and one of tinted will
low filled with flowers are most at
tractive gifts that one shop which is
a speciality of Valentine tok-
ems is showing.
There are all sorts of heart shaped
jewel boxes, too, ranging from gold,
silver and carved ivory down to equal
ly effective and less expensive en-
amel, lacquer, brass. ivorine and pew
ter. If you send one of these with this
telling little sentiment borrowed from
one of William Winters poems:
~ send you, dear, an empty heart,
But send it from a very full one"
you cannot fail to win the gratified
alteration of your Valentine lady.
If you have the face to do it, a
heart shaped picture frame of silver
or colored leather makes a picturesque
valentine and there are heart shaped
crystal vials of perfume rare, fit for
the most fastidious of noses. Love
often smiles on one who exchanges
dollars for scents.
To bag heart with heart-shaped
tag would seem to be popular sport
this February Ia for the varieties of
valentine bags offered is most bewil-
dering. There are sewing bags and
darning bags and vanity bags and
shopping bags and skating bags and
slippers bags and bags for anything at
all.
Not all of them are heart shaped by
any means, although the majority are
