TRACTOR SCHOOL.

The students of the Ell Centre
Tractor School surprised Professor H.
p. Cummock, the gas ahgiue and mo-
tor expert, yesterday afternoon, when
they handed him a travellers corre-
spondence set as birthday present.
The student took the opportunity to
express their appreciation for his en-
dear in imparting to them his knowl-
edoe of the subject, which he ac-
quired by long experience and con-
siderable reading.
r. A. Crippen, who possesses un-
usual business ability, did the select
ing and purchasing of the article for
the class, and F. A. Young presented
it to the professor with few i'm
pressive remarks, which showed that
the members of the day class, indi-
vidaullv and collectively, enjoyed his
instruction and were very much
benefited by it. Mr.. Cummock
thanked the class and said it was an
unexpected token of appreciation for
his services.
Professor Cummock left Ell Centro
last night at s o'clock for Hemet,
Cal, to start another tractor school
certer there.
Professor F. o. Cross, the tractor
expert, has begun demonstrating and
ipstructing the school in tractor driv-
ing. There are five tractors of diff
ferent makes, and several plows
which the students will be taught to
handle efficiently.

ings on the water question was that
which faced the members Of the Mel

favored the contract ratification.
Among those who spoke were Col
onel Holabird, E. F. Howe, H. Eek

absorbing and the discussion so pro-

Sheriff Host
To AZ Guests

Like the other hotels of the city,
the Hotel De Applestill, in other
words, the county Jail, is doing a
rushing business.
Today, for the third time since it
was opened, about three months ago,
the bastile is filled almost to the
point of overflowing.
According to the register, with I'm
der Sheriff Harry Barker acting as
the accommodating clerk, forty-two
guests are registered. Most of these
will make quite an extended stay, as
all are booked for felonies.
Mine Host Applestill says he has
six bootleggers, three women, two or
three burglars and few other gen
try of this sort.
With the exception Of the Barbara
Worth, the Hotel De Applestill is
the newest, finest and best heated hos
telry in the city.
Maybe that is the reason for the

strongly contested issue within the
next two months. Until he became

The Finding of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu-
tiOnary fathers needed to design a flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
Of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds Of a sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams, mys-
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a
sudden rending Of the f1eecy mass by a
wind of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld a patch Of azure sky
set thick with silver stars,
The stars-the stripes-the blue
Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, for
all the world to see. 1t is our flag
God make us worthy of it.-Anne Ran
kin in Southern Woman's Magazine.

What the Flag SymboIizes.

In 1777, within a few days Of one
year after the declaration of independ-
ence, the congress of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
It was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
it was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress
The flag means now all that our fa-
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration of
Independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happiness.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphato
to Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves Our bodies need moro
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with it
a general Improvement in the health:
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack OF
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro- phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should not, owing to it's tendency to in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 18
1776, to Its Proud Position in
the World in 1919.

The Stars and Stripes was raised
on the heights near Boston on Janu-
ary 18, 1776, and the British troops be-
lieved it to be evidence of submis-
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag, the official flag, came later.
After the declaration Of independ-
ence, July 4, 1776, the first salute to it
was given by the Dutch island of St.
Eustatious in the West Indies by Jo-
hannes de Graft, commander of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1854 two additional
stars were placed on the field, but
they were discarded after much de-
bate in congress and the original thir-
teen were restored in 1918.
The first flag that f1oated over a for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January %, 1778. The first carried
to London was on vessel February 3,
1888. 1t floated in China in 1884.
1t was carried around the world from
1887 to 1870. The first blood shed un-
der it was in Ireland in 1890 during a
mob riot over bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to it
given by an English vessel was in May,
1871.
One of Napoleon's generals remark
ed to the illustrious man that senti-
ment had no place in the thought of
a country. Napoleon replied: "Sen-
timent concerns what most enriches
