MONT REID REID ASKS FOR
REELECTION

In another column today there ap-
pears the announcement of Mont j.
Reid, making known the fact that he
will be a candidate for reelection TO
the office of tax collector.
Mr.. Reid will be able to make q
strong appeal to the voters and tax
payers on several grounds. He has been
in the office ten years and has prob
ably collected more than ten millions
of dollars. This has been distributed
through thousands of accounts and all
has been accounted for to the very
penny.
Mr.. Reid has followed the practice
of making a liberal construction of the
law, one that protects the interests of
the tax payers at all times and yet
makes it possible to extend little
cOurtesies and accommodations which
signify much to the ordinary man. Mr..
Reid tries to be human office holder
and to treat people as he would be
treated and in this way has won many
friends. The pledge made at this time
is to run the office on the same gen.
eral policy if reelected.

CHARACTER OF CLUB WORK

CHA RACIEB OE CLUb WOhh
Mrs. H. M. Tenny, prominent in state
federation work and president of the
San Francisco district, commenting on
the work of women's clubs of the
present time, speaks of the great vari-
ETY. of purposes in club organizations,
as indicating the breadth of the
modern woman IS thinking and activity.
A glance at the programs emphasizes
this fact. Social life, amusement,
study of distinctive authors, and of lit
erature in general, study of art, music,
history, travel, village improvement,
county improvement, civic betterment,
etc. Mrs. Tenny has also been i'm.
pressed with the fact that amid all
this variety of interests there has been
developing q spirit of service to com
munity, state and nation as cOntrasted
with devotion to the social or cultural
benefits to be derived from club life
| She says:
"While this evolution of this spirit
| is not so far advanced in some clubs
I or some counties as. III others, | believe
| there is no club which has not caught
| some vision of service as the, nobles
purpose of club life. [ hail this fac
as of great Significance to the trend o.
club development, and as promise o
the increasing influence of our organ
ization in the Improvement Of on

EBROKE'' THE MAN
WITHOUT A DIME

The above is the dramatic title of n
book by Edwin A. Brown dealing with
a sociological question of interest TO
the reader concerned with such prob
lens.
The book is dedicated "to that vast
army, who without arms Of FURNISHED
steel, fight with bare hands for eX-
istence.''
The author sets forth the purpose Of
the book i'll his foreward, which is to
let the world know how the various
municipalities provide for the man
without Il job who drifts into these
towns with numbers of his kind. And
it is not a pretty story that lie tells,
in fact some of the statements he
makes, based upon his own experience,
seem so inhuman they are hard to be
lieve.
The author was inspired to make the
investigation in person by certain
Imperial Valley press., 1922-06-17

events coming to his attention which
caused him to question our efforts to
help the unfortunate through the med
ium of ''Charities Missions, Y.
M. C. AS" etc He asked himself,
"why are hospitals, almshouses, jails
and prisons crowded, why is there des
titution at all, swhy is there poverty
and suffering in the midst of plenty?''
Then he donned overalls and started
out to visit various American cities to
study the problem as Il man without
money, friends or job. He only found
one city, New York, that maintains an
emergency home for such men and
this he describes in detail. He also
| tells how such cities as Philadelphia,
| Pittsburg, Denver, Omaha, Los Angeles
and San Francisco treat this unfortun-
ate class, with no mincing of words.
1t was his plan to 90 into one of
these cities, seek a hotel where he
changed his clothes for overalls and
left every cent Of his money, going out
as the others do, "broke. - When he
had suffered as they do, felt the want
and hardship, he made his report to city
officials, told churches and Y NJ. G
AS. of their shortcomings, gave in
terviews. to newspapers, and tried tt
stimulate interest that would lead tt
emergency homes.

the first of the week, but the family
will remain at Ocean Beach till cooler

Mrs. Floyd p Brockett left today
for Los Angeles where she will visit
relatives for week.
Mrs. Howard p. Meyer and children
leave today for their mountain home
near Live Oaks Springs where they
expect to pass most of the summer.
Miss Nora Eppler, FL Centre teacher,
is having fine vacation with rela-
tives in Colorado. She expects to re-
turn to California in July to attend
summer school in Los Angeles.
Miss Estele Needham has resigned
her position in the FL Centre postoffict

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IMPRISONMENT
BIZ Mrs. s.

today belongs to a new generation
which demands a square deal and if
the husband does not give it to her,
she just puts on her hat and beats it to
the divorce court. She does not have
to stand niggardliness, and tyranny be-
cause she is perfectly capable of TAX
ing care of herself and no longer has
anything to dread from public opinion.
so it seems modern men must change
their viewpoint to conform with Gus
toms and ideals of their day if they
would avoid the breaking up of their
homes by way of the divorce mill.

ARE MEN OLD FASUTONED9

AXE NJ EN- OLD + fASlllONED?
Dorothy Dix thinks divorces are due
in large measure to the fact that men
cling to old ideals of marital duty and
persist in treating their wives as their
fathers and grandfathers treated
theirs, takilH no account of changed
conditions brought about by broader
and more practical education of women
which cause them to resent the place
of unpaid servants in the home with
out economic Independence of the
slightest.
In the old days, "high spirited won
zen writhed fiercely under the ignominy
Of being nothing but a bond woman
resented bitterly having to corkscrew
every penny for the family expenses
out of her husband. 1t made her sick
with disgust to have to wheedle and ca
.jole and flatter him, but she belong
ed to her generation and it turned its
thumbs down on the divorced woman.
She would be homeless and friendless
were she to leave him--and so she en-
dured. But, the writer says, Mary of
