Imperial Valley for This Day
in Past Years
May 26, 1912.

1t is with good deal of apprehen-
sion that school trustees of Imperial
Valley view the close of. each school
wear on account Of necessity for en-
gaging a new. force of teachers and this
year the complaint is more general than
usual throughout the valley. Yet an
nuaily the supply of young bachelors TO
inveigle the teachers from the school
room seems as great as ever. The trus-
teel are longing for the time when the
young fellows will all be married.
Imperial Valley Driving club will
give driving matinee at the Fair
grouns Saturday when some of the best
stock in the valley will be entered.
There will be six harness and two run

s..Just Il moment, Uncle Wiggily. =
called Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy to the
rabbit gentleman one morning as he
was about to hop away from his hollow
stump bungalow, You are forgetting

glad when he put mp his paw and
found that his nose was still fastened
TO his face. 1t would have been pity
to lose it.
".Your nose is all right!'' laughed
Nurse Jane. 'EWhat / was afraid you d
forget is this apple pie. l baked 1T for
Uncle Butter, the goat. Would you
mind taking it to him.
81 shall be most happy!' y spoke
Uncle Wiggily with low and polite
bow. Nurse Jane wrapped the apple
pie in clean napkin, made OF white
birch bark, and gave it to Uncle Wig
gily.
The bunny rabbit gentleman hoped
over the field and through the wood,
and he was almost at Uncle Butter s
house, when, all of sudden, Uncle Wig
gily heard cheerful, whistling sound
and a voice cried:
Bob! Bob White.'
"Ah, hal though Uncle Wiggily,

WOOD NEEDED IN THIS JOB

Pennsylvania and is filling his official
post on Il leave of absence granted him
when he was named to the university

formed General Wood that his leave can.
not be extended beyond September J.,
and he is forced to decide whether to
resign as governor of the Philippines or
as provost of the University Of Pennsyl-
vana.
General Wood s services would be Of
great benefit TO the thousands Of stu
dents who receive education at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania; his ability to
manage the affairs of the school is gen
orally recognized.
But General Wood IS now serving l00,-
! 100000 people in one Of the most diff
cult positions in the Federal Govern
ment. Successful administration of the
| Philippines demands experience and cx.
ecutiVe qualities such as are found H.
General Wood. He has been in touci
with the affairs Of the islands ever
since they came under American rule
and his extended tour of investigation
last year gave him an up.to-thc-minutc

in the way of better government. Re
ports from the Philippines state that
General Wood has won the respect Of
every faction in the islands for his i'm
partial and able administration of their
affairs and he has the cooperation Of
all in his efforts to improve their con.
dition.
Neither President Harding nor Sccrc-
tary Weeks desires to influence his de-

they looked at you in your old hat.

Somehow that healthy dislike of yours
so well fed up to now, suddenly got
wobby an its legs just in those few min
utes.
And a few DAYS later when you ran in
to have cup of tea, as she had begged
you to, and she confided that the lovely
clothes she had brought back from
abroad were only two Paris gowns which
were all she could afford as she had
been over just to take Edith to a speci-
alist; and when she told you what she
was hoping to do to the old house and
asked your advice about draperies, and
gave you some advice straight from
Paris about making up your crepe
marocain, that dislike that had been so
perfectly healthy and growing stronger
every minute up to the time you met
her, just lay down and died.

around on the ground.

you could never like!
Perhaps you started out with per
fectly, healthy dislike born of the facts
that you feel sure she looked at you

years hat to the club, and that you
heard she sent her daughter to private
school because she didn't think the
schools in your town were good enough.
You fed that dislike on the milk of
human unkindness and envy when you
heard that she had just returned from
a trip abroad and brought home a trunk
full of lovely clothes. You knew she
was going to be stuck up and stand
offish and superior, and that she would
want to run the Woman's club and
would spoil everything.

would come over and play with Edith as

intimate details.
She told how when she was sick
she had heard the woman. employed

girl friends. According to his state

The court granted the divorce
and gave Mrs. Thompson the Gus

The hard annals of farm-life are replete with such con- mentaries on the crudeness of pres

 or three months of the year, while
 financial and storage limitations gen.

 are in continuous process of finish

 tribute as they produce, and they can
 curtafl production without too great
 Injury to themselves or the commu- nity; but If the farmer restricts his output, 1t is with disastrous conse- quences, both to himself and to the community.
 The average farmer is busy with production for the major part of the year, and has nothing to sell. The bulk of his output comes on the mar ket at once. Because of lack of stor- age facilities and of financial support, the farmer cannot carry his goods through the year and dispose of them as they are currently needed. In the great majority of cases, farmers have to entrust stOrage-in warehouses and elevators-and the financial carrying of their products to others
 Farm products are generally mar keted at a time when there is a con gestion of both transportation and finance-when cars and money ara scarce. The outcome, in many in- stances, Is that the farmers not only | sell under pressure, and therefore at | a disadvantage, but are compelled to | take further reductions in net returns. | in order to meet the charges for the | service or storing, transporting, f1nanc- | ing, and ultimate marketing | charges they claim, are often excess sive, bear heavily on both consumer and producer, and are under the con- -rol of those performing the services | It Is true that they are relieved of he risks of changing market by selling at once but they are quite will hg 10 take the unfavOrable chance. the favorable one also is theirs and hey can retain for themselves q part r # the service charges that. are uni r orm.
