last days. She was a very industri-

will tell for many years to come. She
maintained all her faculties until the
last, made her own funeral arrange

be with Christ, her Savior, whom
she had learned to love and serve

in life she took letter from there
and united with the M. E. church.

A Word With Women
Valuable Advice for Barton Readers.

MANY a woman endures with noble
hpatience the daily misery of back
ache pains about the hips, blue, ner-
nous spells, dizziness and urinary dis
orders, hopeless of relief because she
doesn't know what is the matter.
It is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to
the sex" Often when the kidneys
bet congested and inf1amed, such
eches and pains follow.
Then help the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get we'll alone.
Wi Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise Of thousands of women. They
pre- endorsed at home. Read this Bar
bon woman's convincing statement:
Mrs. W. q. Alexander, High St.,
says: "Some time ago ]
suffered with a severe backache
which was brought on, I think, by
over doing at my homework. I suf-
Tered considerably with sharp pains
when / bent over or Strengthened. ]
heard Of Doan's Kidney Pills and
started to use them. Several boxes
q this medicine cured me of the
trouble"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get

CHIEF ADVOCATES
|. POLICE, FIRE GONG

Chief of Police Oliver this morning
made a very practical suggestion when
he remarked that Ell Centre is badly in
need of properly arranged police and
fire gong, which should be installed at
the corner of Sixth and Main streets
. where in case of need. either the clerk
at the city hall or one of the operators
at the local telephone Office might
press the button which would ring the
alarm at the corner designated.
The advantage attaching to this ar
rangernent can easily be seen, in that,
were an officer anywhere along the
side streets, he could get to the nearest
telephone and ascertain what was
needed
| Another obvious need of the city is
police automobile. The department
has at present to content itself with a
rickety. old-and- practically -usless mo-
torcycle sidecar, which huns whenever
it feels so disposed
This sort of vehicle is highly imprac-
ticable particularly so in case where
someone is injured. No other city the
size of FL Centro in the state but what
has one or more autos of some descrp-
tion to serve the police needs.
= These two much needed changes
coming from Chief Oliver mean saw
ing of life, property and money to the
city, and meet with popular approval.

MORE ABOUT WARRENITE

From all indications Imperial Valley taxpayers are up
against the problem of paying thousands
doars IN useless royalties else demanding that the
county highway commission and the board of supervisors
either select cement the paving material be used
county highways else advertise for new bids including
Topeka and White.
An attempt at ootng the county treasury and
bod under the guise of charging royalty for paving
being made by the Warren Bros. Paving Company Loot
ing because there other pavements just good
Warrenite and less expensive.
Apparently the county highway commission is aiding
and abetng them in this effort for the members of the
commission despite the of taxpayers and voters
have told numbers of private citizens that Warrene
the best road for Imperial county and this late
date Chairman Fred Lack the slick political head of the
that Valley people be they should submit
this exorbitant price agreement.
It will take lot of Yuma roads convince the
that they should 1 OS ton for stuff that costs the
city OF Los Angeles $3.44 or less to mix
Warren Bros. patents have been outawed in some
states and Imperial county find the highway
mission apparently striving desperately to swing the
tracts of hundreds of thousands of dollars their
Only month ago, deal, which had all the earnarks
of being prearranged and which stopped
by the commissions own attorney, attempted and
bid and when to the showdown, there but
Warrenite bidder.
A little later, with the spotlight of publicity playing
the commission, the Calexico chamber of commerce
peka and White in the bidding Did the commission do
this? They did, NOT. They called for Warrenite and
cement bids again.
Now find the chairman of the commission arrang
ing excursion to Yuma boosting Warrene for all ne is
worth and yet ne protested loud he could yell few

roads for the least possible.

SCHOOL K|DO|ES

CALEXICO, March 4.--Accordine
to a statement contained in what pur-
ports to be a dispatch from Cacra-
mento, published in morning papers
yesterday, owing to lack of school
facilities in Imperial county several
school children in CaleXico attend
school in Mexical," The statement
occasioned a great deal Of surprise
here, and is refutcd by Chester B.
Moore, chairman of the grammar
school board Of Calexico. Mr.. Moore
said this morning:
The only children living in Calexi-
co who are attending the Mexican
school in Me1icali are Mexican or
Spanish children whose parents pre-
fer to have them in q school in which
the Spanish language is employed in
teaching
"There is no truth in the statement
that there is q lack Of school facili-
ties in Calexico. With the completion
of the new grammar schoo building
we have plenty Of ROOM In fact, there
are two vacant or nuoccupied rooms
now, and we have the teachers that
could be put in charge Of classes in
them, If the necessity were present.
Furthermore. we have truancy
officer out rounding up children that
should be in school, and are not. and
there are ample accommodations fol.
them at this time. Not a single child
has gone across the line to attend
school in Mexicali because We were
unable to provide seats or teachers
here. That was what the new school
house was built for. and Will. Calex-
Of school children is increasing. we
leo is growing fast and tho number
are not at loss in caring for ell in
