Let Us Give Thanks.


Let us give thanks not for those gifts
alone
OF field and garden. tree and fruitful
vine,
But for those gifts by which our lives
have grown
More nearly like the infinite design.
Let us give thanks, from fervent hearts,
for love:
Pure love toward God, unselfish love
toward man;
For tenderness, compassion-gifts above
What human thought could wish to
have, or plan.
Let us give thanks for the great gift Of
prayer
BY which we reach the consciousness
of peace,
And realize the constant help and care
OF love divine that cannot lapse nor
cease.
Let us give thanks for true and loyal
friends.
For home, and family ties; for work,
for play;
For beauty, and the grace that laughter
lends
To toll or trial, on our daily way.
Let us give thanks that in this troubled
hour.
With skies bedimmed by doubt, BY
hate, by fear
We can rejoice that good alone has
power,
Can prove it true, and thus win heaven
here.

TAXPAYERS BODY
AGAINST XII KLUX

The taxpayers association met Sat
urday afternoon in the board room OF
the Irrigation District in answer to
call issued by T. d. Mccall, secretary
of the association. About 20 members
were present. +,
After the usual routine business OF
the association had been disposed of,
T. d. Mccall introduced the following
resolution and moved its adoptlon:
Whereas, it has become common
knowledge that many of our county
officers have become members OF the
Ku Klux Klan, and
Whereas, numerous candidates for
county offices are members of tho Ku
Klux Klan, and
Whereas, this association believes ii.
county Officers and candidates for
county office who are members of SAID
Ku Klux Klan have by such member
ship disqualified themselves as Officers
or as candidate for office, therefore
Be it resolved, that the Imperial
County Taxpayers association go on
record as unalterably opposed to the
candidacy of My and all members OF
the Ku Klux Khan for any county
office whatsoever, and
Be it further resolved that all mem
bers of the Ku Klux Klan now occupy
ing any county office of Imperial coun-
ty will best serve the interest of this
county by rendering their designations
Speeches were made in favor of the
resolutions by Mr.. Mccall, Mr. Smith
of Calexico, L. Il. Forester, J. j
Simmons and b. S. Allen.
George W. Anderson opposed the res
olutions. He said that he was not q
member of the organization and held
no brief whatever for the Ku Klux
Klan. However, he believed that il
was not the business of the taxpayers
organization any more than the re
ligious beliefs of any of the candi
dates and he felt confident that the
usefulness of the taxpayers association
was being impaired by its tendency tc
occupy itself with questions which are
entirely irrevelent to the tax problem
The resolutions were passed.; Mr.
Anderson being the only one to regis
ter his vote in opposition.
Mr.. Mccall introduced resolutions
calling upon the supervisors to declare
vacant the office of sheriff on ths
ground that Sheriff Applestill is no
and for a considerable period has no
been a resident of the county.
Mr.. Mccall S motion moving thei

STARS ARE JINX
TO YANKEE TEAM
By Henry L. Farrell

NEW YORK, June 19.-Commisslon-
er Lands might have given the New
York Yanks another pennant if he had
set Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel down
for the season.
While the two vaunted backbones oil
the club were doing their time, the
Yanks played championship ball but as
soon as the pair of stars returned to
the. game they slumped until they are
now trailing back of the st. Louis
Browns III second place.
Up to May 20 when Ruth and
Meusel came back into the game, the
American League champions had won
% out of 33 games for percentage OF
.667. Since the two came back they
have won only Is out of 2S games.
Ruth and Meusel are both i'll bat
ting slump that shows no signs of fad
ing and Ruth has been playing rag
ged game in the field. Meusel never
was brilliant fielder or base run
ner. Ruth is too fat to run the bases
when he does get a pass.
The protracted slump of the Yankees
on their first western trip is not only
the outstanding feature of the race but
II may De tHe blS bItdh III tlio <AAiel4
can League race. While Ruth and
Meusel have fallen down on the 4anks
terribly, the Browns have in George
Sisler and Ken Williams about the
best attacking pair in the league. Sis
ler is playing the greatest game in
baseball today and he may carry the
Browns through to the pennant.
Suffering all kinds of bad luck,
which seems always to be their lot, the
Cleveland Indians are getting into
shape and they are bound to be a
dangerous factor. Speaker is back in
the game and he means everything.
The great Steve O'Neill is back and
Stephenson may put on his uniform
again soon.
While the Yanks are hitting the
bumps, the Giants came out of the spell
that was cast over them on their west
ern tour and they are again working
like a great ball club.
