Holy Angels Society

The officers of the Holy Ang-
els Society are composed of Thorn
as holland, president, and Thomas
Ryan, treasurer. This is like
what we had las year as we
have not elected any this year yet
Every second Sunday in the
month when we go to mass and
holy communion the boys are OH
one side of the church and the girls
on the other. We march over and
wear badges; the girls wear their
badges on ribbon around their
necks. The boys wear pins.
We bring five cents a month,
about half of which goes to the
missionaries in China to pur-
chase baby girls, where they can
be bought for almost nothing.
The mothers do not care for them
and throw them in the rivers and
lakes nearby. Some of them can
be bought for so many stamps

FATHER MARQUETTE

Amongst the early Frenchmen
who came over to gain foot hold
in America were several catholic
priets.
One of these brave priests was
Father Marquette. He went far
west of the settlements made the
Strait Of Mackinac built little
chapel. where he worked to make
Christians of the Indians.
An Indian hunter told him OF a
great river farther west. He made
up his mind to 60 in search of it.
He made the journey in a canoe
sleeping out at night and eating fish
and wild animals his companions
killed.
In this way they crossed the head
of Lake Michigan passed on to
Green Bay and entering Fox River.
soon came to an Indian village.
Here they got guides that showed
them through the forest to the Wis
cOnsin River.
A week later they entered the
mighty Mississippi of which the
Indians far back in Mackinac had
told them. No white man had ever
been there before.
They made their way down
stream to the mouth of the Arkan-
sas River. The Indians were after
unfriendly and they were afraid OF
the Spaniards they had found out
that the Mississippi flowed into the
Gulf of Mexico and that it did not
lead to the pacific Ocean. They
returned home but they had given
France the claim to vast territory.

GIRL FINDS MONEY

Once upon time there was a
little girl. Her name was Helen.
She and her mother lived together
They had little garden from
which they made the living. One
day when Helen went out to gather
some things there was not anything
to be found because they had got
the last of it the day before. So
they had to 90 without food for a
few days. One day when she and
her mother were up town trying to
sell things, they saw a small bag
lying on the edge of the sidewalk.
So Helen ran and picked it UP and
what do you think was in it? A lot
of money. And ever after that they
were happy, because they had
enough of money to keep them as
long as they liyed.-Louise En-

THE FORESTS OF STONE

The petrified forests, or forests
turned to stone, are in Arizona,
Utah. New Mexico, Wyoming and
California. In 1903 Congress set
aside 5000 acres in Navajo County
for the petrified forests.
1t is thought that a volcanic ma
terial overwhelmed q noble forest
at one time. and as fast as the
tissue of the wood was carried
away by underground water, It's
place was then occupied by min
eral matter until the whole trees
became stone.
When the supporting rocks were
washed away, the heavy petrified
trees fell into fragments. One "a,
vine or canyon washed out leaving
a natural bridge Of the petrified
trunk OF q fallen pine. This bridge
is forty-three feet long and thirty
feet from the bottom OF the cam
yon. Recently 1t has been crack.
ing and falling to pieces, but the
government caretakers have built
two abutments to prevent disaster.
The tree trunks have been turn.

onyx and jasper. Fragments are
as heavy as lead. Visitors are per-
mitted to carry away chips as
mementoes. Attic ClingenpeeI,

A. {. Miller of Reserve Board Says
That Twelve Billion Must Re-
main to Absorb Loans.
(By Associated Press)


Philadelphia, Nov. "a. c. Miller,
q member of the Federal Reserve
BOARD told the National Conference on
the Financing of the War that infla-
ton already had begun throughout the
nation, and that American business
must not undertake to carry the war
'as an "extra," but must realize that
great changes in economic organiza-
ton must be made, for such are essen
tial to complete victory.
He estimated that this nation, saw
ing $4,000, 100000 annually, must in
crease this amount to $4,000, ,OO0, 900
to meet the bare expenses of the war
He said that of the $4,000, 900, 900,
$4,000, 100000 must be left to absorb
loans, after deducting $4,000, 900, 900 to
meet the war taxes. He declared that
the present initiation is partially re-
sponsible for the rise in the prices of
commodities and that if the increase
continued it is not unreasonable to
expect before long that the federal
reserve system would be converted in
to a great engine for banking the in
flation.

BOND ISSUE
FOR PAVING
4 SOLUTION
MATTER OF PAVING TO Re
PLACED BEFORE PEOPLE.
TO CALL AN ELECTION
CONCRETE ROAD FROM RED.
LANDS TO CALEXICO.
At Meeting of Southland Supervisors
. Imperial Will Assure Highway
Commission of Bond Election.

When a committee from the I'm
perial county supervisors meet with
the state highway commissioners and
the supervisors of Riverside and San
Bernardino counties, in San Bernar-
dino next Friday, Chairman Shaw of
the local board will assure the other
counties and the highway commits
sion that the Imperial county super
visors will place the matter of bond
ing the county to pay for our portion
Of the road before thepeople at an
early date.
The cost of that portion of the
State Highway in Imperial county will
be approximately 100000. The south
ern terminus of the road will be at
INLAND. An estimate of 16foot con-
crete highway from INLAND to CaleX-
leo and from Hc!t"ille to Ell Centre is
$275,OOO. That the supervisors will
call an election TO vote bends in the
sum of a million dollars to finance
the building Of both RAIDS was the in
'timatin Of member of the board
today.
Favorable action on the part of the
people in this paving project would
put Imperial Valley on par with
the San Joapin Valley in the matter
of paving. The highways as outlined
would be the greatest boon to ranch
ers of any improvement that could be
made, and would pull the Valley out
of the rut," as one man put it to-
day.
The state highway commission in
sists that cities in any county be n
nected up with permanent concrete or
asphalt pavement before they will
sanction the building of the state
highways. Hence, if Imperial valley
wants a road to Los Angeles, sh
must also include provision in the
bond issue for the NilandC CaleXico
and Holtville- Ell Centro pavements.

Ernest Bragg, nego, of Seeley, was
placed in the county Jail today and a
charge of stealing Fritz Aldersons
Dodge was placed opposite his name.
This is the same Bragg who called at
the county Jail two davs ago and re-
ported having found the car in the
brush at Seeley.
When the car was reported found
Fritz Anderson gave Bragg $40 for
the recovery of the machine, and Bragg
proceeded to spend it in the least pos
sible time, it seems.
Then colored boy told deputy
sheriff that he had ridden in Dodge
car driven by Bragg. Two colored
maidens told the officers the same
thing when they followed up the
"lead." Then story of the alleged
theft of the machine by Bragg on the
evening when the colored men held a
dance was unwound. 1t appears that
when Bragg had given his friends
many rides around the country he hid
the car in the brush near Seeley and
claimed the reward.
