When a city girl feels the need OF

cording to her education and opportun-
ity. In the country girl, with much
the same longings for nice things and
good times" looks to the poultry
yard, the milk, house, or the garden
for her spending money. If her par
ents are the right kind, if they are
intelligent enough to help her and en-
courage her in her work, she will soon
establish herself as a semi-indepen-
dent member of the family. If, as
often happens, the parents are not dis
posed to have such goings-on, and
there is no home demonstration agent
no girls club, no extension work OF
any kind in the community. the coun-
try girl goes to the city and the farm
ing regions have lost one more poten-
tial home and family.
No doubt exists in the minds of men
and women of large experience in tbs
extension work carried on by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
in cooperation with state agricultural
colleges that the econGmic appeal is
the entering, influence needed in get

Roy +. Breedlove will be appointed
late this afternoon to succeed J. Stan
ley Brown as director of the Imperial
Irrigation District, the county super
visors having decided that the appoint
ment should be made in spite of the
fact that recall petition has been
filed against Mr.. Brown, and in the
face of an opinion from the district
attorney advising against such action.
Supervisor Brooks of Ell Centre was
the only members of the board who
has opposed the arbitrary appoint
ment His stand was not taken in fur
thering the candidacy of any other
candidate, he intimated, but because of
his desire to allow the people of the
Ell Centre district to express their
preference before the supervisors made
an appointment.
Director Mark Rose of the Irriga-
ton District verbally notified the SUI
pervisors this afternoon that a recall
petition against Mr.. Brown was now
being checked by the irrigation dis
trict, but the supervisors take the
stand that their duty is plain since
they have been officially notified by
the district that the resignation of Di-
rector Brown has been accepted.
Several candidates for the position
have been advanced by various fac
tons in the water controversy, but
Verne Garland seems to have the
largest following, and it is stated that
as soon as the supervisors make the
appointment that legal action will be
started to have it nullified, on the
yro1nd that the recall patitiOn takes
precedence over the resignation.
Mr.. Breedlove is rancher of the
Imperial district and was formerly q
director of Imperial Water company
No. l. Prior to the last Irrigation Dis
trict election he was to have been q
candidate from the Imperial district in
the event that Director McPherrin die
not seek reelection, but when the lat
ter. decided TO make the race Breedlove
withdrew.

OCKERSON WILL
HOLD COLORADO

Optimism prevailed at the irrigation
district offices today regarding the
flood and levee situation. and the be-
lief was expressed that the Ockerson
levee would prove strong enough to re
sist the action of the flood.
General Manager CronhOlm reported
to the directors that the water level on
the levee had dropped several inches
within the past SO hours, leaving a
good margin along the top of the levee
free of water. The drop in the water
level is attributed to securing of the
river channel.
The river discharge at Yuma has
increased almost 80 per cent IN the
mast week, but the rise in the water
level on the levee has been very grad
ua1 and has thoroughly saturated ire
entertainments. The saturatlon, with
many cars of rock rip-rap that have
been dumped along the river have ma
teriallv increased the strength OF the
protective barrier and Mr.. Cronholr1
believes that it will prove stron9
enough to withstand the flood.
The river is falling at Needles, ac-
cordine to advices received today, in.
dicating that the peak of the flooo
has passed that point. Information
from the upper reaches of the river
leads local officials to believe that the
peak of the flood will not be more thar

School Teachers Retirement
Bill is POcketed by Cover
nor. Tenure Measure Will
Not Prevent Dismissal.

Governor William D. Stephens in a
statement issued to the various school
authorities OF t/a state gives his rea-
sons for signing the school tenure bill
and the pocket veto of the retirement
bill. The statement in part follows:
81 have signed A. B. 37S known as
the teachers tenure bill. 1t does no:
put teachers under the civil service
commission as has been alleged nor
does it prevent discharge of teachers
as has been reported.
at is a worthy measure providing
that in schools where there are eight
or more teachers, the school board may
after two years efficient and praise
worthy service of a teacher, declare
her, to be permanent teacher, and
that hereafter no permanent teacher
shall be discharged without cause.
Charges relating to immoral or I'M
professional conduct, incompetence,
evident unfitness for teaching, persis-
tent violation of or refusal to obey
the school laws of California, or reas-
enable rules prescribed for the govern
ment of public schools, must be filed
with the school board and said school
board alone can try the case. A ma
jority vote of the school board deter
mines the matter, however, an appeal
can be taken to the courts, but only
upon the question of the irreguiarity
of the proceedings and not upon the
facts in the case.
"The school board alone determines
the facts, and the verdict. Any teach
err found guilty Of the charges by a
majority of the board can be dis
charged by majority vote of the
same board. There is nothing unusual
or harmful in this measure, only good
for the public and for the teachers
will result.

% KNOWN DEAD
IN PUEBLO AS
FLOOD RESULT
Property Damage in City Esti-
mated at More Than SIS, OOO,-
900. Staggering Crop Loss.

PUEBLO, Colo, June THE known
total dead from the flood today
reached So. There will be no burials
held for several days because of the
impossible condition of the roads to
the. cemeteries. Captain Dennis, COM
manding the Colorado Rangers, on
duty here, said this morning that the
death list would take a jump when the
flood waters have receded to a point
that will permit of the examination of
the Wreckage.
With the recession of the flood
waters to a point where most of the
down town streets and the railroads
yards are accessible considerable pro-
gress is expected to be made in clear
ing away the wreckage and the build
ings and searching for bodies.
A committee of real estate men to-
day made a survey of the city insofar
as was possible and gave out the state
ment that the property damage would
reach a total of between SIS 100000
and $2O,O0O,0O0.
A telegram from Washington this
morning stated that 81 ,OOO, 900 would
be made available Immediately for
flood relief work under joint resolu-
ton introduced in the senate and the
house, and expected to be passed at
once under a suspension of the rules.
Every able bodied man in the city
has been drafted by the military au-
thorities for work in cleaning up the
city.
Late estimates of the damage to the
agricultural lands abutting the Arkan-
sas river which were deeply flooded
from Canyon City to the Kansas line
places the total at $2O,OOO,OOO.

brothers whose names he did not know
The double disappearing act occurred
