THE SEPULCHRE
By Annie Johnson Flint

made the sspuichrs sure, sealing the STONE,
...Hs is not here for he 10 yissn, as he said. :"
-Mafhsw 20; 49, ~. 66s 26s 8.
The Man had died on the cross,
And they laid him In the tomb;
The Living Stone in the stone,
The Rock in the rock-hewn room;
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at the door;
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.
Lest his friends should steal him
away,
And say that he rose" they said.
But Life escaped from Death,
And the Goldman rose from the
dead.
The skeptical minds of men
Still think the sepulchrc sure,
But Christ had said, II will arise"
And the counsels of God endure.
Still his disciples go
To carry the wondrous word:
THE Lord is risen indeedl
We know, we have seen and heard.n
And the tomb men think so sure,
With the seal of their scorn on the
door,
The place where the Lord once lay
Is empty forevermore.

J|M'S Good TRADE
Paid Youngster to Swap His Pig

Bruins Eaoerness for Pork Dinner
Proved HE Undoing When Old
Muzzie-Loader Really Got
Into Action.

IN return for helping his GRANDPA
ther one summer ami fall on his bush
farm. Jim Holland had received pig
which he had taken special pains to
fatten. One day when he was alone he
heard great squealing and came out
just In time to see bear carrying his
pig into the bush. Rushing back, he
seized his grandfather's muzzle-loader
and hurried out. He picked up his
as he ran to the bush his dog joined
him.
The porker, which weighed about
one hundred pounds. was making a
kick for his life and objecting so
strenuously to the manner of his re-
moval that the bear was not making
very rapid progress. When Jim was
near enough he stopped, took aim aud
pulled. But the old gun did not so
eff; either lhe cap was useless or the
powder was damp. Sending his dog
after the bear, Jim dropped the gun,
seized the ak and hurried on to see
what he could do. The dog rushed in

then hurried on, clinging tightly to his
prize. At that moment Jim ran up and
hit the robber with his ak. At the

Apparently the bear was determined
that, even If he had to give up his
booty. he would see that 1t was Of 20
Service to Jim, for with one blow Of
his powerful paw he dlsemboweled the
pig. He then threw 1t from him and
made off through the woods.
In great disappointment and anger
at the loss of his pig, Jim called his

his grandfather returned that evening
he told him what had happened.
"That old bear will be back for the

you'd better be on hand and get him."
"How7" asked Jim.
"Why, with the gun, of course" said
the old gentleman tersely.
II tried your gun on him today, but
1t wouldn't go off," said Jim.
"That is one of the best guns in this
country, even If 1t is an old-timer,"
said his grandfather sharply. This
was not the first time his ancient
gun had been condemned by new
generation.
The old gentleman pulled out the
charge, carefully reloaded the gun and
told Jim that 1t was all right.
Early the next morning Jim climbed
tree near his dead pig and waited.
The morning passed and there was no
sign of the bear, but at about the time
when he had appeared on the day be-
fore he came cautiously through the
woods and approached the pig. Jim
took careful aim at the spot just be-
hind the fore shoulder and fired. The
old gun did its work faithfully this
time.
When his grandfather heard the gun
go off he hurried to the spot. He found
Jim dancing around his bear.

were lucky to get him at one crack.
Meat and fat and hide, he's worth more
than four pigs"

EXPLAIN DELAYS
IN TRAINING Of
DISABLED MEN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Disabled
soldiers and their families have been
concerned about the time consumed in
arranging for training with the feder-
al board for vocational education.
A knowledge of the procedure nee
essary for the board to legally place
the man in training will do much to
clear up this misunderstanding. AL
most 1000 cases are being reviewed
by the central case board every day.
These cases have been previously
passed on by the district officers, but
certain evidence must be in the pos
session of this central board before
the mans case may be pproved. The
official army discharge and the mill
tary or naval medical report are very
essential. These documents are the
proof that the disability was incurred
while in the service, or that it is in
some way traceable to such service.
The new vocation for which the man

and the man must be steered away
from overcrowded occupations. Note
the obstacles: discharge papers are
missing, and it takes time to get du-
plicates, medical certificates are lost
and more time is wasted in renewing
them. Insufficient evidence on vital
points must be completed. Time is con-
sumed in supplying the facts which
must be in the possession of the
board before the government money
can be used for training.
The reeducation of disabled soldiers
sailors and marines is great big hui
man problem, the mans future is. at
stake. Thoroughness in investigation
is the right of the disabled man.
A little forthought on the part Of
the discharged soldiers in securing be.
forehand the necessary evidence and 8
little patience on the part of the pub
lie will help in the accomplishment Of
the work.

Present Price Acceptable
and Very Little of Crop is
Being Put in Warehouse
by Growers.
RULING RATE is
ABOUT S51.OO A TON
Quality and Yield Good and
Growers are Said to Be
Very Well Satisfied With
Their Returns.

1.-The summer crop of milo maize is
moving rapidly" saidZA-6. Kath, to-
day, "and present indications are for
an early clean up. There appears to
be very little disposition to warehouse
on the part of the Valley farmers
and in taking advantage of present
market conditions rather than waiting
upon uncertainties in year of gen
eral large productiveness this shows
good judgent.
"The ruing price is around $51.OO
a ton and milo growers seen to be
generally very we'll satisfied with the
returns as the crop has been of good
yield and quality. While there have
been brief periods when an average
price better than this has been OBJ
tained it has been obtained only by
few lucky ones. The $51.OO price is
very near the top even on speculative
sales.
"While it is easy to go wrong on
estimate of total sales, l think it is
within the ark to say that about two
third of the summer crop has pro-
badly passed out of the hands of
the growers and the Valley farmers
are several hundred thousands dollars

Acceptance Of Judgeship in
No Way Signifies Loss of
Interest in Solving Valley

Phil. d. Swing, for several years
past, attorney for the Imperial Irri-

a we'll known resident of the Valley,
became Judge Of the Imperial County

when at o'clock he took the formal
oath Of office thereby fulfilling the
legal qualifications.
Judge Swing has been described by
his colleagues on the Imperial Valley
Water commission at Washington, D.
c. as being the most influential and
efficient representative that the I'm
perial Valley has ever had there, in
fact the statement was made that his
services we're indispensable at Wash

The high regard and esteem with
which Judge Swing is held by his con-
temporaries, is only indicative of
a county wide feeling of appreciation
for his valuable services to the people
of Imperial Valley.
In an interview with Press re-
preventative this morning, Judge
Swing, said 81 would like you to say
for me, to The people of Imperial
valley, that my acceptance of the

'In event that it should later seem
wise for me to return to Washington
in behalf of our water interests, /
believe that it would not be difficult
to arrange for the necessary leave of
absence"
Judge Swing, wearing Palm Beach
suit, soisette shirt with soft collar
and looking as cool as the proverbial
cucumber, sat on the bench for the
first time this morning for hearing

UNIQUE FESTIVAL
TESTIMONIAL TO
TAHAT| VETERANS

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Aug. 29.-Old
Polynesian customs and arts OF song
and dance, half forgotten by the ma
tives in their swing toward European
customs, were revived during the
great festival which during the past
few weeks welcomed home Tahitian
veterans Of the great war.
Maran, formerly queen, came from
semi-retirement and gave pictures
que feast of royal proportions in the
old kings palace.
The otea, or dancing company, pre-
senting evolutions not unlike the
Hawaiian hulu-hulu, was seen again
and the himene, said by musical ex-
perts to be unique in all the world,
was sung. In the rimene, lately aban-
doned for hymns and European songs
taught by the missionaries, short
phrases of great originality and often
of great beauty are woven togther in
four or five without dissonance. Some
|iken it to Wagnerian choruses.
One colorful feature of the celebra-
ton was the lantern parade when
young and old, carrying torches, dane
ed through the highways and byways
Of the town. The square, lighted all
about with paper lanterns while flow
er-crowned women promenaded with
husbands or sweethearts, presented a
picture of old Tahiti.
When the battalino of Tahitian SOL
1iers arrived they were greeted by
great crowds of brilliantly attired ma
lives crowding piers and beach. They
marched through triumphal arches of
palms and after being officially well
,omed by Governor Jocelyn Robert
were taken over by the crowds.
The festival continued for two
weeks. Other settlements of the is
land have made preparations for other
celebrations to follow.

FLYERS RETURN
FROM PER|LOUS
SEARCHING TRIP
(Ey Associated Press)

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 29.-An exper-
ience, replete with hardships and dam
gers, considered by them to be as haz-
ardous and thrilling as any war zone
flying, was related here today by Maj.
Theodore MacCauley and Capt. S. S.
Eberle, North Island military aviators
en- their return from an aerial trip into
the trackless wastes of Lower Califor-
nio in search of Lieuts. Waterhouse
and Connolly, missing airmen, who fl
nally were found by Mexican soldiers.
While flying at an altitude of $4,000
feet over the Pedro Martez mountains
running into storm and twice out
of gasoline and only by sheer good luck
found supplies in isolated places and
finally experienced the pangs of de-
lirium brought on by thirst after
tramping many miles over torried
sands.
The two military aviators flew over
country which had never before
been visited by an airplane and whers
a sudden stoppage of the motor un
questionably would have met death.
They covered several hundred mile!
in their search for the missing airmel
and frequently picked up their trai
from Indians when they landed il

ALL WANT GAS
BUT NONE KICK
OVER LACK OF It

If the truth is being told, the en-
barge placed on gasoline for private
automobiles has prevented general
exodus from the Valley to the Coast
and mountains. Nine out of every
ten who talk about it seemed to have
had some trip in contemplation. If
all who say 50 really INTENDED to go
the limitation upon sales was made
effective none to soon for there would
MT have been gasoline enough left
after their wants were supplied to
clean a pair of pants. There is, of
course, likelihood that most of these
intending excursionists found out that
they wanted to go after they dis
covered that they couldn't go, and
that with the embargo raised this
yearning for gasoline would drop down
into the limits of ordinary demand.
1t must be said with much credit to
everyone concerned that there is very
little, practically no grumbling, over
the deprivation. The suffering ones
take their deprivation with smiling
faces. There seems to be no disagree
ment as to the wisdom of the measure
Announcement is made that Just as
soon as the trains begin to move con-
servation will become unnecessary
and every one will be able to get all
the gas he wants at the regular rates.

There is some fear that there will

to indicate that there will be severe
