EVERYBODY HELP.

The citizens are vitality interested
in the coming census and every eff
fort should be made to get everyone
counted. The census bureau has
worked out a very fine plan for TAX
ing the census, under which an enum-
orator will have no difficulty in get
ting in touch with persons to be
found at home, but in every COM
munity there is floating population
and there are also "a considerable
number of people who leave during
the winter months for warmer eli
mates. These should all be counted
and anyone knowing of such alb
sences should make it point to see
that they are listed. A census COM
mittee should also be named to see
that the enumerators are given every
possible assistance in their work and
that full count is obtained

THE COST.
e coal strike is about over

The coal strike is about over.
About four hundred thousand
miners were idle for 33 days. Thirty
million tons of coal production were
lost to the country. The cost of the
strike was $21 ,156,O0O. Many people
have suffered from cold, some have
felt hunger.
The result is to be an increase in
the cost of coal to the consumer,
suffering in the families of the
miners and general curtailment of
production in factories all over the
United States.
What was gained?

That was glad news, that about the bonus
business, for our boys. Too bad that they could
not have had it for the Holidays. But it will
come later and be good when it comes. And
it was right and the nice thing to do The boys
earned every cent of it and more. Whether
they each pushed Huns face in over there or
were in camp, it makes no difference. They
offered their lives and stood ready to invade hell
if ordered to do so. The bonus will mean an
additional thank you" to each of them for his
or her part in the great struggle.

grants upon arrival were green and now many
of them are red. +" And we suppose that by
now Goldman, Berkman, ct al are blue Why
they are not "red, white and blue" here in Am
erica like the rest of us seems strange. This
first big deportation may cause some of them to
forget their color blindness when the Old Flag
passes. 1t is to be hoped that it will.

1t seems as if by now the secret of how to
solve the great unrest problems of the country
should soon be discovered judging by the
opinions and the advice we read of by the mile
each day. That is the great big ? of the hour
how to make our dollar do business like the
old 100 red cent one did. The man who does
this and actually accomplishes the glad fact
will have a monument built for him that will
knock Halleys comet out of line when it comes
around this way again.

line, but medals are given for other duties as
we'll; and rightly so There is difference in
heroismA and no political pull should earn a
medal. Actual facts and acts should drag
down the honors, not simply matter of polit-
ical prestige. This should be time for a
square deal for all and not one for petty pol
itics We admire you Sims. And every hero
now with wrong font medal will do the same.
There is honor enough to go around to all of the
boys and each should have exactly what he has
earned. 1t would be a cheap skate to accept
a medal he had not earned But Sims has won
his in refusing to accept one unless the other
boys got theirs, right.

The local postoffice force have been literally
on the jump for week now handling Christmas
mails The mail sacks coming and going have
been damned. Christmas time is one of our
great unloosening days and the wings ON the
American dollar are made to work overtime
Christmas mail is another straw in the fnan-
cial wind which tells which way we are drift
ing. Hard times and small mails are synony-
nous terms. With good times and money in
plenty, then the postoffice force is overworked
during the holidays. We sympathize with the
force at the Office, yet on the other hand we are
glad of it because of the thus apparent pros
perity of our community. People without money

good sign that the future is looking bright when
there is crowd at the windows

If the Red Flaggers are proud of their work
and their cause, why do they choose the night
time to lay their fuses, to stick their literature
to hatch their plots? Why do they use the
mails to send their bombs? Why do they burn,
kill and rob? Why do they object when the
militia is called out to- stop of their riots
Why do they object to deportation and call on
the laws to save them which they try to des-
troy? Why do they stay in country that in
their minds needs so much fixing to suit them
Why o, whyn'ell is Red Flagger? Why, if
they have cause do they not come into the
open like MEN and state what is on their
minds? Why do they not try to build up in
stead of forever trying to destroy, burn down
blow up and raise hell generally? There is
absolutely nothing good in the bunch. They
haven't cause, and they know it. The quick
er that the deportation law grows set of teeth
the better off the United States will be.

The job printers in Russia are having good
time under Lenine-Trozky, apparently, just

That school of education we are going to offer
the people of the southern part of the state
with the tonnage tax as textbook, is going to
show these peope few facts, if they will but
read them, that their ideas are based on what
.some politician has told them rather than on
the exact truth in the matter. If the people
of the southern half of the state could only be
induced to come here in person and let us talk
to them, show them the bare facts as they are,
reason with them, give them absolute proofs of
our conditions, we believe that the tonnage tax
would not bob up at each session of the legis-
lature hereafter. We believe they are intel
ligent beings and are human. They look at
our matters up here differently than we do be-
school of education for them may be good
thing, but we must first get muzzle on the
politician and exploiter and see to it that he
tells the truth. And we must keep everlast-
ingly at it from now on, not at election time, but
right now.

Copies of the Agriculture schedule
can be had in advance by any farmer
by writing to the Director of the cen

Farm Defined.
A farm for purposes of the census
includes all the land cultivated by
single farmer either by his own labor
alone or with the help of hired labor.
1t may be in two or more separate
tracts, but it is all one farm if it is
all under one management.
The land cultivated by share
hand or cropper, or by cash renter,
constitutes separate farm and is
not to be counted as the owners
farm or included in it, but should be
reported in the name of the tenant.
Identification Cards Carried
By Enumerators.
Census enumerators will carry
identification cards as we'll as written
commissions. These will be shown
promptly by the enumerators upon
request of any person.
In all cases where persons are sus-
picious of imposters these identified
! ton cards should be demanded. 1t
is against Federal law to imperson-
ate a Census official, and imposters
should be reported to the author
titles.
Census Questions Must Be
Answered
The Act of Congress providing for
the Census makes it the duty of all
persons to furnish the information
asked by the enumerators to fill out
the census schedules. No persons
should hesitate, neglect, or refuse to
answer fully and accurately all the
enumerator's questions necessary to
fill the schedules as required by the
Act of Congress.
Keepers of hotels, apartment
houses, boarding or lodging houses,
or tenements, must assist the enum-
orator in getting the information con-
corning the persons living in such
hotels and houses.
Uncle Sam needs the help of every
loyal citizen in this gigantic task.
He is counting on you.

and he will tell you that American railroads are
the best in the world.
He saw the foreign roads - in England and
France, the best In Europe - and in other Con-
tinental countries - and he knows.
The part railroads have played in the develop
ment of the United States is beyond measure.
American railroads have achieved high stand
ards of public service by far-sighted and courage
GUS investment of capital, and by the constant
striving of managers and men for rewards for work
well done.
We have the best railroads in the world we
must continue to have the best.
But they must grow.
To the SEQ, 600, 900, 900 now invested in our
railroads, there will have to be added in the next
few years. to keep pace with the nations business,
billions more for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, cars and engines, electric power houses
and trains automatic signals, safety devices, the
elimination of grade crossings - and for recon-
struction and engineering economies that will
duce the cost of transportation.
To attract to the railroads in the future the in
vestment funds of many thrifty citizens, the direct
ing genius of the most capable builders and man
ayers, and the skill and loyalty of the best work
men in competition with other industries bid
ding for capital, managers and men = the railroad
industry must hold out fair rewards to capital, to
managers and to the men,
American railroads will continue to set world
standards and adequately serve the Nations needs
if they continue to be built and operated on the
American principle of rewards for work well done.

NEW JUDCESHIP
FOR CO. SEEMS
TO Be ASSURED

Imperial county YlIhave sec.
md department OF tlLrSuperior court
by August.
This confident prediction was made
| n legal and official circles today fol-
owing the receipt of letter from
Assemblyman j. Stanley Brown,
which stated that the bill creating
the new court department would
arouse no opposition.
The announcement caused numer-
CTS political booms to be launched
and started a multitude of discus
sions over the question of the ap-
pointee. The judicial appointment
will be made by Governor William ID.
Stephens.
Although no candidates have come
out in the open to pick this political
Mum. it is noised about by Old Dame
Grundy that the following well known
members of the bar are aspirants:
District Attorney E. r. Simon.
j. S. Larew, citv attorney.
Phil d. Swing, attorney for the r.
rigation District.
These are just the Ell Centre pros
nectors for the judicial vein. Other
cities in the Valley will undoubtedly
contribute their need of candidates
would would like to have the prefix
Judge" to their names.
In the event that Mr.. Simon IS
;uccessful in reaching the governors
ear, his appointment will make va
ant the district attorneys office.
When this line of political reasoning
$ reached another bundle of cam
qairn balloons is loosed, and another
lob scramble is foreseen.
Charles r. Scott, Joseph F. Sey-
,nour. Jr.. and Clarence B. Conlln
have been honored with suggestions
eor the place Of head of the county
legal department.
