RIPPLING RHYMES.
By Walt Mason.
A GOOD WORLD.

oh, everything is bully in this
gay world of ours, and all my
paths are fully begarlanded with
flowers. It's true 1 have the
shingles and a wen, and bobcats.
skunks or weasels have killed
my old gray hen; but Illness or
reverses can't make me sprinkle
tears, or hand out vulgar curses
that might offend your ears.
Cold winds no longer hound us,
the sky is bright and blue. and
spring is all around us, and
balmy winds come through. The
day is bright and smiling, and
any mans a swine who stands
around reviling a world so good
and fine. It's true my teeth are
aching, and certain Joints are
sore, where rheumatic is max
ing itself beastly bore; it's
true my spotted heifer has foot
and mouth disease-1ut Oh, that
scented zephyr. that fragrant
vernal breeze 1t comes from
lands OF spices, from Islands
in the sea. and in a brace of
trices. 1t brings relief to me,
This good old world we dwell in,
in which we play our game. and
paw around and yell in, is all
the blue prints claim. Sometimes
the skies are cloudy, and winds
chant sad laments, sometimes
the days are dowdy. and look
like fourteen cents; but take.
things all together, the world is
bright and fair; and much l
question whethe r It's equaled
anywhere.

The vision of sn Artist.

Mr.. Walters left London for New
York. but In his studio in Washington
Square he still thought of the subtle
atmosphere of the Aztec color work.
Artists all about him were ecetstioaliy
turning out batir snocks and lamp
ehades, and they naturally began to
inquire why ne did not engage In the
popular art Of dysing with war. He re-
piled That ne had n vision Of something
eo ethereally beautiful that batIk with
It's erotlo colOrs and set designs had
no attraction for him. After taking
stand. there was nothing for him to
do but 10 try and reproduoe his vision.
Three ye~ys ago. he went to the
artists' colony at Woodstock. and set
10 work in secret He spent all OF his
time experimenting with silks and COL
orinR. methods hoping always 20 pro-
duce something that would give him the
same feeling of satisfaction that the
old Aztec mantle had given him

An exhibition Of these Aztec aura
textiles has just been held Mt the Arts

of color, and then somewhere, perhaps
at each end, there Is ehsdo"y scene
or a vague spray Of flowers sncn as
goldenrod, apple blossoms or dog

changing colors and elusive pictures
are as mysterious as the process that

the rainbow plumage OF humfning
birds. He saw one Of these nantes in
| the British museum and vas fa1cinat-

an art so beautiful should be lost. for
In the skilfully matched and shaded

In large numbers In order 10 have n

Once a year the birds were piucked

HOME PRODUCTS CAMPAIGN

. At it's last meeting, the Ten Thous-
and Club unanimously endorsed the
California products plan of the State
Federation, pledging members to buy
and use so far as. possible, California
products. The plan has received the en-
dorsement Of many leading m
throughout California who look upon
it as q practical way in which to meet
the unemployment situation.
Champ S. Vance, vice president OF
the gas and electric corporation of Los
Angeles, commends the plan vigorously.
He says it is workable and practical,
and that if it is really backed up by
the $4,000 club women of the state, it
will do much toward reducing unem-
ployment. He says the plan is so simple,
so safe and sane that he wonders why
it was not thought of before.
Mr.. Vande fully appreciates the value
Of the federation influence, saying:
"When we consider the combined
purchasing power of the members OF
the women 8 clubs alone, we have a
stnpcndous impetus to business through
out the state When the women origin
ate anything, they get behind it, they
nave u way oL putting IL over. w llh
the wonderful start this undertaking
has, it is certain to be a marked sue
cess and to awaken the business inter
est of>the merchant, the producer and
the purchaser in every city and town
of California.
There are close to 1000 club women
in Imperial Valley. IT they support the
campaign it will help immensely.

PICNIC PARTY

Almost every time and season in I'M
perial Valley is suitable for q picnic,
but the lure of springtime calls more
and more people to the mountains for
weekend parties and picnics as the
season advances. Laguna Salada has
become favorite resort for Ell Centric
folks, and - large party went there
Sunday for a day under the trees and
n swim. OF course, the main feature
was the dinner which was just what 9
picnic dinner should be, good and plen.
ty of it. Those attending were Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Swanberger, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. O. Bridges, Mr.. and Mrs. Cliff
ton Parsons, Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Sargent,
Mrs. NJ. j. Steele, Miss Evelyn Steele,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Merchant, Mr.. and

ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY

All of the schools in California today
observed the birthday of one of the
nations greatest heroes. Were he yet
alive, Ulysses s. Grant would be 100
years old on this date, and he is alive
in the hearts of the people, because of
his great service to his country. Instruc-
tions came from the state department
OF education, that every school, great
and small, would be expected to observe
all over the valley. At the high school
this morning, tribute was paid to the
great warrior statesman by Harry b.
Ellison before the assembly. Programs
in other schools were given during the
afternoon.
The teachers feel that such occasions
are greatly worth while in teaching
Americanization and deepening love Of
country in the hearts and minds of the
boys and girls.

Automobile Price Reductions.

There is nothing sensational and
nothing alarming In the recent price
cuts by automobile manufactures, in the
opinion OF Auton,0tive Industries. which
points out in Its weekly review that
revisions have been based on the "rea-
sonable expectation Of a continuance Of
heavy production" These reductions,
tho review asserts, have been made pos
sible by a large output and conse-
quent lowering OF overhead and manu-
featuring costs. The policy Of passing
on to the consumer the benefit OF re-
duced production costs. the journal says.
has had much TO do with bringing the
phenomenal business which the indus
try has had this year As to the effect
Of the price cuts. the review points out
that while they may slow UP sales for
August they will not have a really de-
moralizing effect unless they are fol-
lowed by second series of cuts. which
Is characterized as highly improbable" !"
No companies in the field. it is asserted.

once business is resumed on a wide
scale, IL they handle all the business
which will be offered. The present hesi-

leading industries also will disappear
with the ending OF the coal and rail-

tremendous business the carriers will
be called upon to take care of.

that Edmund Plat, vioe-governor OF the
FEDERAL Reserve Board. has become act
ing governor Of the board to succeed
w. p. q. Harding. whose term a. gov
ernor has Just expired. Wall Street
thought that President Harding would
reappoint tho retiring governor. An
Associated Press dispatch from wash

may defer making appointments to the
Federal Reserve Board for several
weeks. The Presid cnt's opinion was said
TO be that he could not give proper
