AMERICAN LABOR

bit of keen analysis of the labor and immigra-
tion situation is made by Elizabeth Frazer in recent
Saturday Evening Post.
Miss Frazer quotes the superintendent of a large
factory: "The trouble s-with the present youthful
generation-that they've got the notion that work
that's hard on the finger nails carries social blgh
Her comment is that industry, with Its cry Tor unre-
stricted immigration. is itself largely to blame
Not in England Germany France, Italy or in
any European country do the great industrial con-
depend foreign labor to their mills; they
their workers and still manage to get results.
The hour is about to strike when the ndustrials of
America will be forced to do likewise, for the human
wastage and high cost of the old, irprovdent methods
no longer to be endured The immediate adVan-
tage derived from such indiscrimnate importation IS
offset by the permanent injury done to our demo-
cratic institutions and ideals.
This is point seldom considered by those who be-
eve America will always have to get her cheap labor
from abroad. America has already arrived at the
point where no labor is cheap and where thoughtful
people realize that they do not ant it to be cheap
sEaey want living stan daEass kept high.
The claim often heard that Americans will not
perform manual labor is specouS. For generation
or two the white collar jobs superior. Natural
ly, young Americans turned to them. At present the
pendulum is swinging back
The technical schools to a large extent TAX
ing the social blight off the grimyhanded Jobs. Nor
the rewards of labor nconsderable. Outside

Moreover with the young American Of spirit, in

labor is expensive the human side 1t constitutes
costly human problem. The American
who nvents and utilizes laborsaving machinery does
not dsplace into dleness the no longer needed,
releases into other forms of usefulness that human
power.
If America forced to depend wholly upon
herself for all her wants she would speedily adj us
herself to the situation and be able to handle it ade
quately The importation of low-grade labor merely
poStpones that happy day.

Hurrah! Work Is
Really Started
On Courthouse e

Slowly but surely, the eXcava-
tion that in time will be the base
ment of the new courthouse, is
growing larger and the work of ac-
tual construction for which the peo-
pie of Imperial County have waited
so long can truly be said to be un-
der way. Several teams of horses
and mules drawing plows and scrap
crs are ut work each day and the
increase in the height of the piles
of dirt at either end of the lot is
a good criterion of the progress be-
ing made. Once the work of exca-
waiting is completed and cooler
weather has arrived, construction of
the foundations will be started.
Several carloads of steel for
reinforcing concrete have been re-
ceived aud are piled along the south
side of Main street, waiting the
time when they will be needed in
construction work. The general
contractors. Jarboe and Murray,
have erected several sheds for of
flee work and storage purposes near
the county Jail. and arc getting ev-
crything in readiness. A good idea
of the extent Of the new building
can be obtained from the size of
the excavation, which extends from
short distance west of Ninth
street, far beyond the western Ii
mits of the county Jail.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND SAM

"Will you please make me a kite
with a tail on, Uncle Wiggily?"
begged Sammie the rabbit boy one
day.
"'Why do you want "A kite with
tail on, when the kites without
tails 90 up so much more easily?"
asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh / like to see the kite tail
twisting up in the air like a snake, 4"
said Sammie.
SO Uncle Wiggily made him a
kite with long tail to it, and
after it was made Mr.. Longears
helped the little rabbit boy to fly
the kite. 1t wasn't easy, as at
first the tail was not heavy enough,
and the kite dived from side to side
like hawk after chicken
Then Sanlmie made the tail too
heavy and the kite would hardly
90 up at all. But at last the tail
was made just about right and the
kite went flying up into the air,

Sammie said.

R. E. Smith has been appointed
dog catcher for Ell Centre by Harry
L. Barker, chief of police, and will
begin a warfare against the numer-
Gus stray dogs which have wander

morning that instructions have been
given Smith to round up all dogs
that are without license tags, and
these will be killed unless identi-

Each summer, according to the
chief, many dogs wander into the
city from nearby ranches and be-
come nuisance unless measures are
taken to round them up. Dog own
ers. who value their animals, are
warned by the chief to see that they
are licensed and not permitted to
roam through the streets without

Who Killed the
Deer? II" Said
The Five!

Just who killed the big buck deer
brought in last night by a party of
hunters consisting of Judge NJ. w.
Conkling, COunt.g Clerk Cal Nous
seau Charlie Murphy, Wes Wander
poel and Ted Kluck, is a question
that has been puzzting officials and
attaches at the courthouse today.
Five different versions of the
deer Staying could br obtained by
talking with the hunters, each of
whom claimed to have fired the IA
tai shot. Notwithstanding their
contentious, the fact remains that
there was only one bullet hole in
the animal. Charlie Murphy seemed
to have the best claim. 1t was
agreed that Charlie is to get the
handsome head, and from this fact
it is easy to deduce that he must
have done the killing, or else the
hunters shot craps for the head.
On one point they all seemed TO
agree and that is that though
Judge Conkling was the oldest of
the hunters, he led them terrible
pace across the desert near the
Chocolate MOUNTAINS where the deer
tracks were first sighted.
One member of the party report
ed that Cal Mousseau, becoming
dissatisfied with the trail the Judge
was leading, set out to follow some
tracks which he located, and sue
ceeded in stalking a fine big turtle
which he claimed was standing on
its hind legs, eating leaves off Il
desert bush, The turtle succeeded
in getting away by outracing the
le5nnty clrek, who tried to capture
it alive.
The deer was placed on exhibi-
tion in the Red Front Market and
today was cut up in preparation for
a fine venison supper which the
hunters and friends are looking for
ward to. When dresser, the deer
weighed over 175 pounds. The
head, bearing five pronged horns,
will be mounted.

Many years ago French beauty ex-

like many still employ. But even
those clays multiplied my beauty.
Since then, able scientists have per-

They have found the right clay-a
rare mineral-laden clay-which brings
maximum results.
They have found way to refine 1t.
to remove the useless mud. Their
