FACES {: CHARGE:
D EL|NQUENCY
SECOND TINE.

Disappointment was registered this
morning in tn superior court among
the spectators who visited the court
room in hopes of hearing sensational
charges in the case of Stella Ketchum
a juvenile, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Campbell, who made her second
appearance before the court on the
charge of delinquency.
Some time ago Stella was placed
upon probation when it was proven
that she had intimate relations with
Joe Ward of Brawley. Since being
released from custody the first time
Stella has, according to probation Of
ticer Swanson, been delinquent and
has been going around with Otto Ma
humblan Kahn, Hindu of Holtville,
for whom her father worked.
The girl was arrested by the pro-
baton officer about three weeks ago
and given into the charge Of city mar
shall Marshall and his wife of Braw-
ley.
Stella, who is now but seventeen
years old ran away from home last
year and married a man named Kst-
chum in Riverside county. Shortly
afterwards she returned to her par
ents.
Campbell's family has been in the
county for about four years, coming
here from Texas and have since their
arrival been continued source of
trouble to county officials. In the
family there are now seven children,
the youngest being born but yester-
day, and of the other six none can
read nor write as can neither - the
parents.
In court this morning it was stated
by the attorney for the Campbells
that the family intended to leave fol
Texas, just as soon as Mrs Campbell
was able to make the trip and judg-
ment IN the case was postponed to
the 25th of this month in order to give
the family an opportunity of making
arrangements to leave. In case they
do leave, the court will allow the girl
to accompany them, meanwhile she is
being held at the county farm.

CUPID AND MARS

The peace treaty has been signed and the war is over, but
there is remaining a postwar battle to be fought between Mars
and Cupid, Mars, through the United States army officials, has
decreed that no American soldier may marry a German girl,
under pain of severe penalties. This will be disappointing to
many. The fair daughters of the Fatherland are beautiful to look
upon, and they make good wives and mothers. Many an
American husky has succumbed to their charms, and if laws or
military orders keep them apart it will be the first time in the
worlds history that they have done so. As we'll issue orders
against the mating of birds or fishes. When a man and a maid
love each other, Argus, with his hundred eyes, could not watch
them or keep them apart. Laws have ever been futile.
We read in Genesis that when Moses fled from Egypt to
INDIAN he sat him down by a well, and while there seven of the
daughters Of Jethro came down to draw water. Moses had his
pick of the bevy, and chose Zipporah and made her his wife.
Young ladies nowadays do not come down in punches of seven.
They do not draw water. When thirsty they turn a faucet and
fill a glass and feel that human endurance has gone the limit.
AS for drawing water for sheep and cattle, very few of the
daughters of today are quite sure that sheep and cattle ever
but he does not seem to have suffered any serious conse-
quences. A notorious law-breaker, he became a lawgiver, and
some of his laws are obeyed by man unto this day.
Solomon strayed from the reservation and became a blanket
Indian whenever he wanted a new wife, and he remained away
until he found one to suit him, Laws that invade the most
sacred and intimate relations of life are difficult OF enforce
ment. They are usually dead letters.
Young German girls are in no way responsible for the
ex-kaiser's ambition or the crueltes and barbarites of the war.
Kaiserism has been destroyed, but there is going to be cakes,
with or without ale and skttles, and there is going to be marry
ing and giving in marriage as long as the old world lasts, Gov
ernments may prescribe the form and method of marrying, but
the mating must be left to individual choice, If Cupid is expatri-
ated there will be very little marrying, and unless young people
are permitted to choose their own mates, married men will not
make as good husbands and married women will not make as
good wives as they do now under free selection,
Mars may be powerful and his sthunders terrific. but in a
battle with Cupid he will be compelled to yield to strategy and
cunning. Love will continue to laugh at locksmiths.
