Red Cross And Local PrOvident
Association Combined.


As the secretary of the Red
Cross and the secretary of the
Provident Association are one,
and all cases referred to the
Provident Association in the
past two years have been inyes-
tigated and handled through the
Red Cross secretary, it has been
decided to combine the welfare
work of the two organizations
and hereafter have only one or
ganization and one fund,
The officers of the Provident
Association will act as members
of the local Red Cross Board
and assist with the work the
same as in the past.
$4,000 is Lexington's quota
in the Red Cross Roll Call. 1t
will take $4,000 to pay our dues
of fifty cents a member to the
National Organization and our
quota of $1,000 to the support of
the county work. When you re-
new your membership in the
Red Cross on November 21st
DON'T FAIL to make a liberal
contribution as it will be need
ed to care for your local chart
ties.

Tunly commented, running on to ex-
plain that Angora went nowhere
that nobody knew nor cared why she
had come from somewhere when OLA
Man Sims had said he needed ASSIST
ance. She had truly bettered things
down at the office; it was clean as a
whistle, and you never waited for your
mail nor got back-talk no matter what
YOU said. Judge Darling listened IN
tently. his head in his hands, but said
nothing till he was starting back TO
his Office. Over his shoulder then
he said firmly to Daisy; "Baby doll,
be keerful. I'd hate MORALLY to have
you come home with a scratched
face"
"Don't you worryT Daisy flung
back, with a yawn that masked a sigh,
Angora came-for little beyond ask
ing. She did not even wait to powder
her nose or push back stray locks.
Judge Darling met her at the foot Of
the steps. tucked her hand within his
arm and drew her into the library as
one who had the right. With his back
against the closed door he smiled down
at her, asking, "Well, Miss Angora
Joyce, what have you done with Eliz-
abeth Melbourne?"
"Simply put her in cold storage-it
hasn't hurt anybody" the girl laughed
back with a TRANSPORTING smile. "And
oh dear, Judge, it has been such fun

"You have found out" the Judge
began,
"NOt quite everything" she broke in.
"But, oh, you should see the report 1

Good Homes Wanted For Boys
And Girls.

The Children's Bureau of the
State Board of Charities and
Corrections has under it's care
forty boys and fifteen girls
whom they wish to place in good
foster homes. They are all
sound children physically and
mentally, and are fine boys and
girls.
It is the purpose of the Board
to have them placed in good fos-
ter homes where they will be
given care and affection and
have the advantage Of a public
school education and religious
training.
Thirty-five of these children
are being cared for in the State
Children's Home at Carrollton,
but because of the overcrowded
condition of the State Home, it
is necessary to board twenty
children in good boarding homes
in Jefferson City under the SUI
peryision Of the Children's Blu
reau. The greater number of
the children are from five years
of age to sixteen years, but
sometimes we have smaller
ones, who are very attractive,
to be placed.
Many Of the children, partic-
ularly boys, hope to be given a
home in the country, as they
wish to be farmers.
Any family wishing to give
one of these children a good
home should write to Mrs. Har-
riet M. Robertson, Director OF

PERMANENT SYSTEMS PAY

In this country, we have just passed
through an age of fertility exploita-
tion. No one took any thought of it,
supposing it might last forever. Now
we are just entering an era of soil con-
servatiOn and the future will see an
age of soil restoration. Folks are get
ting back to the growing of more
legumes. The reduced corn acreage
campaign may accomplish it's purpose
to some extent, but if it does nothing
more than to get a lot more acres to
growing alfalfa, clover, soy beans, or
COW peas, it will have accomplished
wonders from the standpoint of pres
ent soil needs and farm fertility.
More land here has been seeded to
clover this spring than ever before and
a lot of cattle will feed on soy bean hay
next winter that heretofore have been
muddling it through on timothy hay or
corn fodder. Organizing a permanent
system of cropping and management
for the farm is simply Transforming
the fertility from a bank account into
revolving fund. Happily most plants
get the bulk of their feed by combin.
ing the carbon dioxide of the air with
water to form starch. Otherwise man s
wantoT waste of fertility would have
denuded the earth of vegetation long
since.

SUPREME COURT "
ON WATER RIGHTS
Highest judicial Tribunal De-
cides Important Points
Touching Colorado RiUer

| California Cultivator: The supreme
court of the United States has acted in
the matter of settling water rights or
| filings on the Colorado river Cultiva-
tor readers may recall that this paper
has referred to the attitude of the del
egates from Colorado and Montana
who were attending the hearings be-
fore Secretary Fall a few months ago.
Both Colorado and Montana insisted
that all the waters within the boun-
daries of those states and all the hy-
dro-electric possibilities were entirely
the property and under the control of
those states. To bolster up that claim
old time state sovereignty arguments
were brought forth and presented at
the hearings referred to and also be-
fore the League of the Southwest. On
Monday the supreme court rendered its
decision, and amongst the findings as
reported by the Los Angeles Times are:
First-That as between two states
recognizing the law of water power
appropriation, prior appropriation III
time governs. In other words, which
ever state first appropriated power
rights of the water flowing through
two or more states recognizing the
law Of proper appropriation had the
senior and prior right to such power.
Second-That all power rights on
such a river as the Colorado not yet
appropriated by the respective states
remain within the federal power and
jurisdiction.
"Third-The contention of Colorado
that it as state was entitled to all
the power and water that fell within
the state and found its way into the
river was untenable and therefore dis
allowed by the court.
"Fourth-The contention of Colora-
do that the productivity Of the acre in
Colorado with the use of acre feet of
water was greater than an acre of land
under the same conditions i'll Wyoming
was found by the court to be without
merit and was disallowed on the
ground that the citizens of Wyoming
were allowed in law the same right to
production per acre as in Colorado, and
the contention of better use on the
part of Colorado would not be fair IN

PLANT A PATCH OF ALFALFA

Our alfalfa acreage has grown by
leaps and bounds during the last three
years and there are now 25 times as
many acres growing as there were in
1918. And just as soon as any man in
tcrcsts himself in permanent system
for his farm, just that soon does he
learn that small field of alfalfa-say
five or 10 acres-fits into the scheme
as nothing else does. 1t is one thing
that n man can seed and keep for no
one knows how many years, provided
he keeps tho blue grass down and keeps
the soil lined and phosphatcd. Fields
of alfalfa arc known that have been
producing for 80 years.
But you can t grow alfalfa with a
wish bone; it takes backbone, You can
grow it if you follow the prescription
of drainage, limestone, inocluation and
phosphorus but if you leave out any
one of these, YOU will have failure,

BIG LITTERs DECREASE PORK
COSTS

The man who makes the most profit
from his hogs is he who raises large
numbers of pigs per sow and who grows
these pigs rapidly. Sows with small lit
ters frequently do not pay for their
keep, and pigs that are not grown rap
idly seldom pay the owner the last cent
Of profit.
During the last two years, we have
seen a large number of farmers keep
ing poultry records to the great salts
faction of their pocketbooks. In fact,
this record work has been the basis of
a lot of permanent improvements such
as earlier hatching, systematic culling
and better feeding.
And now a number of our folks are
starting similar work with brood sows.
This is being established on perman-
ent basis. If it didn t do anything else
but teach hog. men how to mark their
litters of pigs so they could identify the
shotes at later date, it would be well
worth while. Many pure bred breed
ers do not have a marking system that
they can interpret after the marks get
cold.
Any one who has ever seen the gov
ernment film on the round worm in
hogs will appreciate the fact that where
the hog lots are permanent, as they
are on most farms, the worms event
ually infest the soil and wallows so
badly that it is impossible to get by
without worming every pig when he is
weaned and turned out to pasture.
Many of the thumps that folks lay at
the door of lack of exercise are caused
by the lung stage of the round worm.
But If hogs are to be wormed, there
is only one sensible way to do it. First
fast the pigs, then give santonin and
calomel in capsules with a regular ball
ing gun and following this with lax
ative. Where remedies are put into
the feed, the big pigs that need no
worming push away the, little fellows
that need it most-another case Of
perverted justice.

IMPERIAL COUNTY
NEAR DAIRY LEAD
FOR WHOLE STATE

When it is stated upon the authority
of the state department of agriculture
that Imperial county stands third in
California in dairy production, it is not
difficult to imagine it at the top a
few years hence when more improve
ment in herds has been accomplished.
Stanislaus county has been first for
several years in dairying, but in 1921
retained it's standing by only a small
margin over Humboldt, which held the
record for many years. The Pacific
Dairy Review says Humboldts "come-
back" in butter production furnishes
an interesting subject for thought on
the part of all dairymen. For many
duction' with an annual output aver
aging approximately 100000 pounds.
With expansion of the industry in
other parts of the state, Humboldt took
a lower place, but about 10 years ago
she started on new track. Dairymen
inaugurated testing and began to breed
better cows. The results show conclus-
lively in her butter production. With
practically the same number of cows,
Humboldt raised her production from
) 100000 to 100000 year, came with
in scratch of regaining her old first
place in the industry, and stands good
chance of becoming the leading butter
county in California unless Imperial
wrests that honor from her.
Imperial county produced 6,277,934
pounds last year and as stated, now
ranks third in the state.

FIVE FISHERMEN no EVERY

Winchester Agent Goes Into Details

"It is estimated that there are 5,O00,S,

in the United States and for every
hunter there are at least four fisher
men, said G, M. Oliver, of the local

Twenty million fisherman will
Twenty million fishermen will
seem like an number to the
continued Mr.. Oliver but those who
write fishing lore seem agreed that the
ratio is either four or five fishermen
to every hunter. Some states sell a
combination hunting and fishing liz
cense-a few others require the fisher
man to take out a separate license,
but the majority of states make no
check at all on the fisherman"
II have every reason to believe that
this will be a great fishing season.
There has been a greater demand for
fishing tackle this month than any
previous March since l have been in
business and I believe this is due
entirely to the Winchester line. AS

Worried Groom Double Crossed on

of n younger set of American Falls.

The groom arranged with MIR. and
Mrs. G.. M, oliver, Mr.. and Mrs. T. @.
Sparks and the Rev. Mangun, to
spring a surprise on the bride to be.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver accordingly invited
the bride and groom to their home for
Tuesday evening dinner. Following
dinner the preacher was to arrive;
and about nine o'clock he was to come
from hiding and perform the cere-
mony. The bride, Miss Adams was not
to know anything of the plans until
the event occurred.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver and Mr. and
Mrs. Sparks rather resented the
groom's taking such unfair advantage
of the bride and arranged for the min
lister to arrive at $3.50 in the after
noon, half an hour ahead of Mr.. Beatty
He vas duly secreted in the closet and
the party sat down to dinner. After
dinner the party decided that mocl
wedding ceremony would be in order
to acquaint the bride with the proper
procedure in such circumstances. MIR
Beatty agreed to this heartily ant
chuckled immensely at the fortunate
turn of circumstances that were Il
