OLD HOUSE TO BE MUSEUM
Movement for Preservation of Struc-
ture Identified With Early Days
of Southern California.

A movement is on at Riverside, Cal,
for the preservation of a number Of
the old landmarks of the vicinity,
buildings and spots intimately connect
ed with the early-day period Of south
ern California. The plan is being fos-
tered by the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Revolution and the
Pioneer society.
The first project to be undertaken
is the restoration of the Old Rubidoux
home, an adobe structure, which was
built by Indian labor three-Quarters of
q century ago. The Rubidoux family
was enc Of the most prominent of the
early Spanish residents and the home
was a social center for the interior
section. Many of the notable events
of history of the period just previous
to the fOrty-niners are more or less
intimately connected with this old
building which in recent years has
been abandoned and has begun to
crumbIe away.
After the work of restoration is
completed, the building will serve as
nucleus for pioneer museum for
the housing of many relics of the early
days.

Cotton now rises TO the fore In ordi-

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
Fighting III. G. L..

We've talked a lot about the
Cost; no opportunities we've lost
to make a few remarks; we've told
how we have felt the pinch, and
called for hempen ropes to lynch
the pro~fteering sharks. Now
comes the gentle spring again.
when earnest, sane and thought
full men will cease to rend their
duds, quit yawping by the village
roods of ground, and plant a lot
of spuds. A garden full of useful
greens, OF sparrowgrass and Lima
beans, Is much to be desired; a
garden where the squashes thrive
and beets are seen in blocks of
five, will make the Cost look tired.
A bed of onions by the fence is
better evidence of sense than
may frenzied yawps; and nothing
finer is in sight than Is the gar
dener's delight, when harvesting
his crops. The country's full OF
fertile earth; all kinds of soil, of
sterling worth, Is strewn around
our shacks; and in that soil let's
plant some peas and Brussels
snrouts and things like these, and
thus get down to lacks. When
to their gardens men repair and
gather luscious pumpkins there,
and carrots red and fine, and tur-
nips full of wholesome juice, and
cabbageheads that beat the deuce,
the Cost takes in its sign.
