Trapped in a quicksand all night, a
valuable horse owned by William
Ward who has a riding stable at Re
hoboth, foundered in its effort to get
out. When found it had to be shot.
The horse got out of its stable, and
Wednesday morning Ward searched
every where for the missing animal,
finally locating it in quicksand back of
Silver Lake. The animal had sunk
down to its neck and it was with great
difficulty that it was finally dragged
out with ropes, but was in such shape
that it could not live. The quicksand
has been fenced off to keep anyone
from getting mired in it.

HIGH TRIBUTE TO RABBI WISE
Churchman Of Another Faith EN
presses Deep Admiration for
Character of Jewish Leader

Every time l hear Rabbi Wise It
makes me want to play truant from
my own church; he Is so vital so
vibrant with intellectual power, So
aglOw with moral electricity-like
bit of human radium.
Tall, athletic, graceful, his dark
brown eyes eage-like is their bright
ness; his deep bass voice as velvet in
appeal, and resonant in denunciation /;
his style bristling with epigrams,
swift epltOmeS and phrases that sting
the mind with the surprise of beauty
his charm as an orator is equal to
his daring as n prophet.
One moment he is walking to and
fro like lawyer at the bar; another,
he Is exploding some injustice or alb
surdity with a quick saber-thrust, with
now a CLINT of humor and now a CLEAN
of prophetic Indignation.
Emerson said that the man who
speaks the truth will find life suffi-
ciently dramatic. 1t has been so with
Rabbi Wise, who early took for his
motto: 81 will try to see things as
they are, and then 1 will try to say
them as l see them" His gallant fight
for free pulpit in a free synagogue Is
memorable in the religious life o.
| America.

"Gehenna."
Gehenna Is the Greek name for the
Valley of HinnOm. situated south and
west of the city of Jerusalem. Sacri-
fees to MOlOch, instituted by Solomon
(1O15-975 b. c., were offered there.
and for years after, 1t was the place
chosen by the Jewish kings for the
practice Of their idOlatrOus rites.
When Josiah, king Of Judah, restored
the national worship, he made Gehenna
a place of defilement by covering II
with human bones; after this, 1t be
came the cesspoOl of the city. Fires
were kept constantly burning there to
consume the bodies of malefactOrs, car

"T want to tell you story this eve

General Gorilla took the lead OF a
band of gorillas. The others did as
he said when they went hunting and
looked to him for leadership In their
work.
"ue was like the chief leader or
president or king Of Gorilla land.
.'He was splendid one and knew
n great deal in the way of looking
after all the gorillas.
"When the otirers would go out In
the jungles and 90 beyond to the
towns and villages where they would
get things TO eat which they bought
without paying for, General Gorilla
would either sit up in the trees ana
watch out for danger and warn the
others or he would lead them and have
another gorilla on the lookout.
ale would arrange with some of
the other gorillns, too, to act as sign

that they weren't able to get out of 1t.
'He had many scouts helping him
and General Gorilla was too smart
ever to be attacked and beaten.
''He laid his plans well to protect
his own family and his own relations
and these plans never failed.
II don't believe general in an army
could have done much better than
General Gorilla did" Daddy laughed.
"He had those assistants who were
to watch out for danger. those who
were messengers to go back and forth,
look for the best markets, those who
were to get the things they needed,
and those who simply helped to carry
his directions back and forth.
"He had the most wonderful system
OF working with the other gorillas.
Sometimes he would lead the band
to market and have another gorilla
on guard, or again he would peep
through the branches and be on the
look out himself. as I've said. Usually
he led the others and had still other
gorillas to be the guards.
mo one could ever tell when he
or any of his family were sending
signals to each other, for General
Gorilla worked too cleverly for any
one to understand just how he did 1t.
And the other gorillas worked in
the same clever way. They weren't
going to be found out through stupid
working. They used their brains and
they have lots of brains. too!
Every gorilla took great care of
his family and would see that they
were away safely from all danger
They would be very, very careful Of
their families.
mo harm must come to them
said General Gorilla. and all the 9TH
er gorillas agreed.
ave aren't much on zoo life,' said
General Gorilla, but we are wonder
ful in our own jungle homes. Oh,
yes, we are pretty smart. We have
been blessed with brains. Gorillas are
grateful for their brains.
"'Brains save lives. If we didn't
have our brains we could never be
so smart and keep so safe from dam
gers
"At night the gorillas would get up
into their~lcafy beds In the trees and
General Gorilla would make up his
bed on the ground out Of soft leaves.
There he would sleep, lying on his
back. ready to wake up at the first
sound Of danger.
'There he would guard his gorilla
people, and no one could harm them
with General Gorilla on guard.
1--WE Gorillas will always stand
guard General Gorilla said, and who
ever is the general or the leader Will
do the work expected of him.
"That Is what 1t means to be n
general or to be leader. We Goril-
las know what It means
$50" said Daddy, ''the Gorillas lead
their lives in safety, and what they
have learned they have taught them

they have and not because they have
been trimmed to do this and to do that.
The Gorillas need no schooling from
people.

GREER'S REPORT
SAYS PUBLICITY
WORTH S35,632
Boulder Dam Given Much
Aid Through Medium
of Papers

In report to the board of di-
rectors of the Imperial Irrigation
District, of his WORK as publicity
agent since March 10, 1928, F. W.
Greer has estimated the newspaper
value of publicity received, had the
news been printed at advertising
rates as $35,652.5o. Much of the
matter, he points out, would not
have been accepted for advertising
purposes, and practically all of it,
he believes, has been of considerable
publicity to all of Imperial Valley,
aside from the effect it may have
on Boulder dam legislation.
In connection with his work,
Greer assisted in conducting the
members of the arid lands and ap-
propriationS committee of h Z
house of representatives on their
trip through tho valley last March;
acted in the same capacity for
Secretary Weeks party of % CON
gressmen and four senators and the
naval affairs committee numbering
Is congressman. He also attended a
meeting of the league of the south
west at Santa Barbara in May;
Governor Hunt : conference in Ari-
zona, and five meetings of the Boul-
der Dam Association at various
points He also made trips to Wash
ington and TO the American Legion
convention in San Francisco. His
total mileage is estimated at 10000
miles.
The publicity obtained has not
been confined to local or Pacific
Coast publications, much space hay
ing been obtained in eastern and
middle west p;pers, he declares.
During this period, he received in
sal&ry from the Irrigation District
and the Boulder Dam Association,
$3.50.
The Boulder Dam Association paid
approximately $3.50 of the total
salary given Greer while the district
paid the remainder.
