Their high power line is about 500 miles long from beginning to end, but they have sub-stations where are located power houses and transformed houses. It is a great electrical system, furnish ing lights for many towns and cities and the nearby country around them, besides power for much machinery. There are a number of cotton gins here ia Imperial valley all of which are run by electricity furnished by this company. l quote from the Journal of Electricity of San Francisco, The spectacular feature of the system is the transmission line. Two hundred and thirty-eight miles of unin- terrupted transmission at one- hundred and forty thousand volts sets a new record in com mercial long distance, high-ten- sion practice, practice. Steel aluminium conductor is used throughout. special tower design have been employed and out door transformer, stations are utilized. '"
 This valley has harvested and sold a great crop of watermelons cantaloups, and grapes and the farmers are now pushing to get their cotton, milo-maize and other feed crops ready for mark ct, They are paying $2 % and $2 50 per hundred, and for one variety of cotton 6 cents pound l for picking. Many workers have come in and yet there seem to be a scarcity of help. There is a great agitation going on about a new system of irritation for the valley. they want an All American system, meaning to cut loose from Mexico.

THE FoRGIViNG ROBIN.
~ mary GEALlli "! b I ~,

"a year ago" said Daddy, "a lit
tie robin was flying with his mother
and his daddy when he got hurt and
fell to tie ground by Il cruel sling
shot which Il boy named Jerry thought
was very fine.
"'There are more robins he said,
than any other birds in this coun-
try
"'What about sparrows? asked
Henry, his playmate.
"'They come next on the list, but
robins are more plentiful than any
others
"Do you think they should be de-
stroyed? asked Henry, for he had
thought it was fine to use a sling-shot
until it actually hurt the bird. And
it had given him very queer feeling
when the tiny robin had fallen to the
ground. He felt cruel and mean and
like a great horrid bully. The poor
little bird was so small. 1t had done
no harm and no wrong.
at had only tried to sing joy into
the world That was all! And it
was such a tiny thing! Poor little
bird! Henry tried to keep the tears
back, but at last they would come.
"'Oh, baby robin he said, 4 was
just as wrong rs Jerry. Maybe his
sling-shot hit you, but I was trying
too Poor little robin
"He knew Jerry would laugh at him
but he didn't care. Never again
would he use a sling-shot He would
not be cruel to a bird so small and
so helpless. And he had thought
himself a nice boy! He knew now
he was a horrid bully.
"But Jerry was not laughing at him.
Instead, when the little bird had fallen
he had had very queer feeling too.
He had tried to show he didn't care,
but he had cared just the same.
"sWe'll never do it again. he said
sadly, but it's too late to regret this
little fellows life-except that we
wouldn't do anything like this again in
our whole lives, never, never
"'Never,' agreed Henry.
"'Oh,' exclaimed Jerry suddenly,
the bird is breathing. His little foot
seems hurt, but he is alive
Jerry took the little bird in his
hands and smoothed his little ruffied
feathers and tried to stop the quick
beating of that poor frightened little
heart.
"'Robin, baby robin he said. I
didn't mean to do it. Honest, baby
robin, I didn't mean it. I never knew
it was like this to hurt a bird. I
cont know what I have been think
ing about before. 1 must have been
crazy boy, that's all. Please forgive
me, baby robin
"And the two boys-the toughest
and worst DULLES Of the eighborhood-
both blew their noses very hard and
with the back of their hands wiped
away tears-real tears.
But they looked after the little
bird. They dressed it's foot, they fed
it and fondled it and it grew to be
very tame But they didn't try to
keep it with them, when the foot was
alI well.

had gone away. But few days aft

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cure

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an inf1amed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. DeafD ess is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
