Home Service Section

There is really no time for our
Home Service department to relax
our efforts. Rather is it the cru
cial time for the testing of our ac-
complishments for a close exam
ination of our past endeavors and
a renewed vigor in our pushing to
completion our war obligations. The
service man, particularly the dis
abled service man, is still our re-
sponsibility and it is our duty and
aim to see that every disabled sol
der knows how to get free medical
care, and every tubercular soldier
is getting proper treatment; every
solder with mental or nervous
difficulty is getting the skilled at
tention that he needs; every soldier
knows how to get free vocational
training; every wounded soldier is
getting his compensation; every sol
der has been told how to hold and
reinstate his government insurance
every soldier has been paid all the
government owes him. We want to
be sure that every disabled soldier
in Lee county is self-supporting and
his family is getting along as well
as it did before the war.
If the returned soldier of Lee
county who has reviewed the ques-
tionaires sent out by Mrs. j. l.
Morris. will answer them promptly
it will greatly help in determining
just what can be done and what is
needed to be done for our service
men. And remember, the hours are
never too early or too late or toe
long for service to be rendered to
our returned soldiers. And KEEP
in mind it makes no difference how
long your war risk insurance has
lapsed. You can reinstate any time
before July LIST, 1920 by paying two
monthly premiums and making 9
formal statement that you are in as
good health as you were at the grace
period.

ruE TRUTH ABOUT EVIDENCE
Gam. Difference Between Its Theoret-
IcaI Purpose and Its Presenta-
ton In Legal Practice.

Evidence is that portion OF the
ruth which your lawyer thinks will
Impress the Judge or Jury in your IA
wr. Any other portions of the same
ninth must therefore be irrelevant and
,mmaterial and should not be admitted
A evidence. Thus evidence is both
mart truth and partial truth.
The theoretical purpose of evidence
to bring out the truth, the whole
ruth and nothing but the truth. In
legal practice, however, 1t Is used to
emphasize unduly certain portions of
the truth, to color other portions so
as to imply things that are not the
truth and to cover up the rest Of the
truth.
There are several kinds of evidence.
Crcumstantial evidence has probably
convicted more innocent parties than
any other kind. Documentary evi-
dence has no doubt convicted more
guilty parties than any other kind.
And counter-evidence cannot always
be made to count.
Truth crushed to earth may rise
again, but not If your lawyers objec-
tons are sustained by the court. Yer
by the seeker after truth has no bust
ness In a modern courtroom.-Otis G.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF OIL: COMPANY
ST|RS INTEREST
OICners of the Bra,CIey Well
Are Figuring on Raising
Limit of Assessment to
$1,000 a Member; Meeting
Monday.

| CALIPATRIA, April l0,-The menu
bers of the Imperial Oil and Develop
ment Co., the owners of the Brawley
well, are taking keen interest in the
Forthcoming annual meeting of the
Association which will be held Mon
day night in Brawley and there pro-
misses to be a large attendance from
Calipatria. At present there are two
directors in Calipatria, two from
Brawley, two from Calexico, and one
from "the county at large these be-
ing fairly representative of the towns
wherein the memberships are held
and in proportion to the numbers.
Calipatria came. through in strong
fashion when the association was or
ganized a year ago and will benefit
largely by the bringing in of the well.
ASSESSMENTS
In addition to the election of a new
board Of directors the question of
raising the limit of assessment from
$500 to 81 900 per membership will be
voted upon and it will be necessary
to have more than one hundred men,
hers present to pass upon the ques-
tion. The total members have been
given to understand that it is not be-
cause the Association will really need
the amount, as matter of fact it is
doubtful if the additional sum will be
used. 1t is believed that by the time
the well is brought in there will have
been an expenditure made of $4,000
to $4,000 and that would leave only
S20, 900 to $4,000 if the old assess
ment rule remained effective.
LEASE NECESSARY
1t will be necessary to 60 to the gov
eminent for a lease and the Off
cials will want to know what about
the future expenditures and the As
sociation desires to be prepared to tell
them that it will have the $1,000 as
sessment limit available instead Of the
$500 limit. That in nutshell is the
reason for the. increase to be voted
Upon Monday night.
So far as can be learned here the
we'll is being handled in good shape
and may be brought in within two
weeks more or it may be delayed
slightly beyond that time. There is
the greatest optimism on the subject
in Calipatria.

LONDON, April 1O.-The Russian
soviet government has threatened tol
put the workshops of the northern
railways under martial law, to put an
end to what it calls the "crime' OF
the workers in wasting time in holiday
making, according to a wireless mes
sage from Moscow. The government
as serts that 1000 working days were
thus lost in one month and that "the
railway men are arranging to have
two, days Of idleness each week at a
time when millions of people are hun
gering and when it is impossible to
transport bread, owing to lack of rail-
way engines" Ii notifies the idlers
that they will either have to make up
for the time "of which the republic
has been robbed or receive full PEN
atty under martial law.
The message issued by the govern
ment is headed "Shame comrades" !"
and declares that Russia cannot await
salvation from foreigners but must
fight her own internal blockade in or
der to "end the ruinous conditions. Of
things, conquer hunger and save thc
soviet republic.

NATIONAL DANCE rs
FAVORITE; AMERICAN
JAZZ TUNES UNUSED

BUENOS AIRES, April 10.-Thc
Argentine has retained its <affection
for his national dance, the tango, des-
pite the introduction of American
''jazz" music and syncopated melodies
in the programs of Argentine balls
and dances. This was, shown during
the balls held in a recent carnival
when tango tunes outnumbered the
fox-trot and one-step in a proportion
of three to one. Several American
waltzes, however, are very popular.
The Argentines call the syncopated
music "Yanqui" tunes.
Some native musicians have grown
rich composing tangoes. One of the
most popular here is called "Pan y
Aqua" Bread and Water). The title
of another is translated as "Flower
of the Mud"
