THE ROUGH MAIDEN

When it comes to the destruction of animals there

The fur trade is wipng out animals at the rate of
about 100000 1t is threatening end an age
OF mammals which began 100000 years ago. Furs as
protection says Mr. Anthony, no longer needed 1t
is fashion which is destroying the wild life.
Some furs, unquestonably, are soft and warm and
beautiful, and attractive to women on ali three
grounds But there others which, on the human
form, are hideous There only few regions in this
country where winters long and cold enough to re-
qure the use of fur coats against the weather In most
OF the climates where the fapper has had to have her
fur coat or perish these last few years. the coat too
warm for all but few days year. She wears it any
how because style DEGREES she must gets overheated
and becomes far reader subject for the flu or other
troubles which wait to jump weakened vitality than
If she clothed in porous wool
Nor can the flapper afford the exquisite furs she
Graves. But she has to have furs so she buys any,
thing with hair on going in debt for coat which sell
dom looks well as long the debt hangs on TAX

OF mercy or financial common sense
Fortunately there is a of interest i'm suitability

CALExICO, Feb. 16.-The Eli

Calexieo some time in the latter
part Of April or the first of May, it
is announced, with a program of
high class educational and enter

the most costly to be had ON any cir:
cult.
Thirty local business men have
pledged themselves to the support of
the Chautauqua, and have given the
necessary assurances which brings
the entertainment to Calexico, and
in the very near future a campaign
will be undertaken for the sale of
season tickets and such advcrtis-
ing as will be necessary to make'tke
venture Il complete success.
Heretofore the EllisOn-White peo-
pie have shown yearly at Ell Centre,
but matters arose which made it I'M
possible for the people of that city
to entertain this feature this sea-

ly availed itself of the opportunity
to secure it's appearance here.
The program and actual dates will
be made public in the near future.

A BARRAGE OF CANNED RESOLUTIONS

1t had to be, doubt, and, having had experience
with similar situations in years past, should look
upon the barrage of resolutions being laid down
by every interest which is feeling the pinch of Cover
nor Richardson's economy and efficiency program as
merely matter of consequence following How
ever if mistake not people going to revise
their estimates of the effectiveness of this of
paignng.
The canned resolution has become institution in
this country. AS often there is issue the trusty
typewriter is brought into action manifold copies
distributed to every organization and sewing
society with request that the resolutions be adopted
and forwarded to other an expression of
the sentiments of that particular body And rule
large percentage of these organizations fall for it
and in process of time the mails bring to the person
designated to receive them reams sometimes TONS of
manuscript embodying the same sentiments and the
same request
Of course all of this should have little weight and
1t does weigh little in the estimation of those having
experience with this sort of think and knowing fully
the beginnings and the of circulation travelled
by the ready-maGe resolution.
Governor Richardson's retrenchment program in
wolves the very existence of large numbers of state
politicians accustomed to subsis at the public trough
Of they going resist any proposal to cut
them off The reasons for their resistance will not be
set forth personal any respect but will be made to
great issues involving the foundation and SUPER
structure of public business. The states participation
in the support of the public school system of the
activities which will be compelled to accept cut by the
governors program. This furnishes theme for won
derful resolutions vibrating with sentiment and pathos
and stirring the emotions in protest against the
ace to the little red school house, Parent teachers
associations and woman's clubs will be the objects of
this sort of fire which will be supported from the ranks
of the teachers of the state and by the close of the
sttutiona recess if all works WELL there will lie upon
the governors desk the evidence that the organized
motherhood of the state is arrayed against him in his
endeavor to save few millions to the taxpayers 1t
will really mean nothing more than movement of the
machine and the is quite likely to appraise it
as SUCH In the meantime would it not be well for the
various organizations they receive these requests
for resolutions in protest against the thing specifically
which the people have approved generally, to reason
the matter out and calmly consider whether there is
apx Horn tho6 byy, To
omze. The governor is merely setting in motion the
thing that he promised to do if we elected him. He was
elected on that platform overwhelmingly and in COM
mon honesty he could do nothing but the very thing
that he setting out to do Now let the of us stand
pat too and not harass him with backfire of opposi-
ton to that which we have accepted as all important
