SCH00LSARE:
ENLARGED BY
ANNEXATION
Supervisors Fail to Appoint
Successor to Enyeart, But
Receive Several Applica-
tiOns. Definite Actlon Is
Postponed.

For the purpose Of completing the
formality of anneXing the various
school districts of the county in COM
pliance with the recent law passed BY
the state legislature: a special session
of the board of supervisors was held
last evening in the county court house.
The following consultations were
made:
lockwood to the Brawley district.
Fern, Rose and Wideawake to the
Imperial district.
Seeley, Florence, Silsbee and West
side to Central Union district.
The board voted unanimously to re-
ject petitions to annex inland to Cali
patria district and Jasper to the Ca
lexico district.
The resignation of Buel F. Enyeart
as county superintendent of schools
was accepted by the BOARD with an
exchange of kindly farewells oy the
supervisors and Mr.. Enyeart. Applica-
tions for the position We're received
from H. C. Coe, Ell Centre; E. M. Hig-
ginbotham of Westmorland; Miss
Louisa Schwartz of Ell Centro; and
Judge E. J. Norris of Holtville. The
board announced no appointment
would be made until next Tuesday,
when all five members are expected to
be present.
Attorney J. F. Seymour advised the
supervisors that an agreement had
been reached in the county road law
suits, under which the contractors,
Peterson, Dillon & Paterson, were to
consent to annulment of the contract
and were to be paid all sums due them
for road work. Mr.. Seymour suggest
ed the benefits to follow prompt set
tlement of the suits.
H. H. Peterson, one of the contract
ors, told the board of a desire to sell
their equipment to the county and ad-
vised that road work be continued by
the county by force account, as the
suits at law would prevent satisfac-
tory handlN:E of the work by contract
for some time to come. He said he
realized the board could not agree to
buy the equipment, but would have to
have the machinery if it were to do
the work, and could advertise in the
open market and he would be willing
to accept fair price for that which
his company owns. He said he did not
eXrec. to secure original cost and that
the equipment would be bargain for
the county.
The supervisors in discussion evinced
an appreciation of conditions and ex-
hibited a readiness to reach any fair
settlement. The matter will be Off
cially considered at the meeting next
Tuesday, and it is probable that some
action will be taken at that time.

Board of Directors of Irri-
CATION District Calls Halt
to Mutual System of Water
Measurement. Ch argos
Based on Full Measure
ment.

Beginning today the mutual water
companies of Imperial Valley will be
charged actual measurements for all
water delivered by the district to them.
In addition, companies will De cut
off. This condition was brought about
by a return of the district board to
the conditions put into effect in a reso-
luton in March, which was later super
ceded by resolution on May 3.
The March resolution was intended
to put all the companies on the same
basis as to measurements and al the
same time force some of the delinqucns
companies TO pay into the district
treasury sums amounting to $250,G00,
which represented unpaid water bills
that some of IT, companies were hold
ing UP to harrass the district in It's
financial transactions.
The May resolution wa. effective
for May, June, July and August and
permitted the mutuals to pay for wa
ter according to their own measure
ments, expiring last night.
The boards act was taken following
the reading of letter from General
Manager Cronl>,lm, in which he ad-
vised that under the plan Of district
measurements, tax rate Of $l.o0
could be made to cover tlE district
needs for 1922. but that a rate of Sligo
would be required if the company
measurements continued in use. Mr..
Cronholm estimated that the district
was losing about 80 per cent of its
income by accepting settlements from
the mutuals under the plan effective
during the past four months.
3utuals were notifi>l May g that the
old method would become effective
again today, but the district board
yesterday instructed Secretary Mclver
to notify them of the change again.
Mr.. McIver will also invite mutual
boards to attend next Tuesdays meet
ing to hear the districts budget plans
for the coming year.

FAT HOGS AND
FEEDERS SCARCE

Fat hogs are becoming scarce ~
the valley, according to B. d. Irvine,
who shipped a car yesterday to Los
Angeles. Under the stimulus of the
high prices of the past few weeks,
hogs have been moving to market
rapidly. Everybody wants to get in
to the hog business now and this IS
creating a brisk demand for feeders
and stock hogs" he said. Roy Miller
has shipped in three ears from Ari-
zona to be sold locally, and many
ranchers are eager to use up their
feed for fattening hogs.
The car shipped by Mr., Irvine yes
terday was bought at IL IL cents,
but the tendency of the market is
lower. In the San Joaquin valley last
week the hog auction showed the fol-
lowing prices:
Tulare, Tuesday, 11.S5; Visalia,
Wednesday, 11.55; Hanford, Thurs

WATER COMPANY
REPAIRING CANALS

CALIPATRIA, Sept. 1-Reconstruc-
tion work has been started by Impe-
rial Water Company No. 3 on canals
damaged by tht cloudburst a weeka-
go last Sunday, and Acting Supt. Nor
gan expects that water will again be
running through the canals within a
short time. The total damage to the
bitches will amount to about $4,000
according to latest estimates.
The greatest damage done to the
higkline canal occurred a short distance
east of INLAND, where for four miles
large holes were cut in the ditch banks
and the canal filled with sand. One
lateral canal was washed away in its
entirety and will have to be rebuilt.
The excess water which was thrown
into the canals between Esteele and
inland caused several minor breaks.

HOLTVILLE Sept. Mrs. John
kavanaugh, who has been rather
prominently mentioned as likely car-
didate for the office of county sup
erintendent of schols which the board
of supervisors of the county must
soon appoint, very definitely decided
when broached to her by interested
friends, that she would not be a. cam
didate
The publication of this bit of news
regarding Mrs. Kavanaugh's position
will be welcomed by many of the
residents of this city where Mrs.
Kavanaugh's has lived for many years,
and where she has been teaching
during the last year, expecting TO
resume her work upon the opening
of the school term September 19.
Mrs. Kavanaugh's attainment of an
exceptional record as teacher,
makes her figure in the local schools
that would be difficult to replace, and
her decision not to be candidate fer
the office of county school super.n-
tendent is welcome. This is especial
ly true of those parents whose chill
dren are commencing their first year
at school, and who recognize the inn

influence and instruction for children

The letter of Adjutant General
Harris to Congressman Swing fol-
lows:
Honorable Phil D. Swing, House of
Representatives.
Dear Sir:
In reply to your letter of August
16, 1921, regarding the retention Of
a)my post at Calexico, California,
l have the honor to inform you that
at this time the letter from this Of
flee, dated July 10, 1921, was writ
ten, it was hoped that it would not
be necessary to withdraw the troops
from Calexico.
Due to the recent reduction in the
strength of the army and in the in
terests of economy it has been found
necessary, after careful consideration,
and in accordance with the recommen-
dation of the corps area commander
to order Troop F, 18th Cavalry, for
merly stationed at Calexico, to Camp
Lawrence j. Hearn, Imperial Beach,
California.
1t is regretted that circumstances,
which could not be foreseen on July
10Th, necessitated the issuance of the
orders for the movement of troops
from Calexico and it is suggested
that, in case any material change in
the situation should point toward the
need of troops in that, town your con-
stituents take the matter up with the
commanding general, ninth corps area,
San Francisco, California, who will
take the necessary steps to assure
ample protection to the inhabitants of
CaleXic. Very respectfully,
P C. HARRIS.
Adjutant General.

we'll established library of 20 or

"A well eSlaDllSlleu library VI ~ VI
80 years standing might well be sat
isfied with this increase of approNl-
mately ten per cent, but newer. Ii
brary like our own, should not be sat
isfied with less than twenty five per
cent increase. .f.
The city council requested that we
save 81 500 from our budget, if pos
sible, to be added to the building fund
which will be allowed next year. In an
effort to do this. and because of the
increased cost of binding, fuel, per-
iodicals and almost every other item
on our budget, our book fund was
cut this year from 1922 to $1,366.S3.
To cut the book fund is to take "a
way the life of the libray. Books are
our stock in trade and they are stock
which wears out rapidly. $4,000 is not
more than an adequate book fund for
library with a circulation of $4,000,
to supply the needed current publi-
cations, the needed requirements, and
to make the improvements needed in
the reference and other departments
so that we may meet the demands
made of US daily and stimulate wider
use of the library.
Regarding the second factor of sue
cessful service, we are fortunate in
having assistants who work harmon
iously together, whose chief aim is to
make the library profitable to all who
use it. To their loyalty and capable
work is due in large part the crafty
ing results Of last years work.
Publicity, the third factor, has just
come to be recognized in the past ten
years as very important one. 1t is
just as important for a public library
to advertise it's service as for mer-
chant to advertise his. The methods
may be different. but the purpose is
the same.
Some Of thep eople know nothing,
| and most of the people little of what
we have to offer them. Many people
think of their library as a place to
obtain information in history, science
languages and art, but never think of
! it as a place containing data on prac-
teal subjects, such as ad writing
