COOKS AND BUGLERS DON'T
READ

In giving our American Legion
Weekly the once over we have found
something which those OF us who
have fit and bled CD for our country
will no doubt appreciate. 1t Is in the
form of suggestion of a Doughbay
ION the manner OF conducting the
Next War, Together with certain re-
Elections on the conduct of the last
one" If any of our readers were
Army Cooks or Buglers we can only
hope that they are not of a pugilistic
temperament. We Amt, and what Is
more we shall Be Ready to Leave
soon after this following master
piece is printed, should there be
Trouble Brewing.
Suggestions OF a Doughboy":
Al. That in the next wal all serv-
ice buglers and cooks be affiliated
with the American Federation of
Labor, thereby preventing the
buglers from going to work until 8
a. m. and preventing the cooks from
competition with the Boilermakers'
Union in seeing how many rivets
they can throw into a G. 1. can OF
slum.

READ EN- and WEEP

1t sure is n long ways, gentle
reader, from Casper, which Native
Sons a is the "Squarest city, in the
"Squarest City in the Squarest Coun-
ty in the Squarest State in the Unit
ed States, to Rawlins, which we say
is the Hilliest City in the Hilliest
County in the Hilliest State. ETC.,
and we amt mentioning no wind
either, Gentle Reader, chiefly be-
ause they is so many cities In TINS
state what would take offense should
we brag too much on Rawlins wind.
We will say, however, that we have
been lost only once since coming to
this place, and that was when the
wind went and changed from west to
North East - all the other times we
got our bearings by just standing
with our faces to the wind. Our
right hand would be to the north and
our left to the south, which as we
was saying worked fine with the ex-
ception of one time when the wind
changed to the northeast. We do
not imagine that this will happen
again very soon. Do you?
Ever since coming here we have
been trying to figure out whereat
does all the people live, but at date
of writing have been unable to ar
rive at a solution. They is only two
places we know of which has rooms
for more people-one Is the apart
ment house conducted by Sheriff
Sanders and the other which is run
by Warden Hadsell. Both are good,
clean places in which to live and
should Our Creditors Press us Too
Hard and Gang Up like Siberian
Wolves we figure on taking advant-
age of the bars and stone waiis %
either n of the two above men
toned places which are extended to
those what desire quietude free
from the disturbing influences of
the outside world.
Since we have been out looking
for a place in which to live at we
have come to realize the truth which
some guy wrote up when he said "be
it ever so humble there is no place
like a home" However things in
the housing line are Frightening up
to Beat the Band. You know Gentle
Reader, there is q silver lining to
every wind - in other words while
they is life they is hope. and Rawlins
has a Lot of life - you can believe
us!
The people OF Rawlins owe the
Rocky Mountain Gas Company of
this city a great debt - for besides
putting in gas where there used to be
coal, kindling and ashes, they have
provided u town with a least tenn
porary relief in the way Of houses.
Coal sheds which used to contain
coal now have been turned into
Home Sweet Homes" and new ar
rivals which would have had to
sleep on Pool Tables and in the
waiting rooms in the U. P. Depot can
now rent nice little coal shed ap-
partments and hang "Welcome to
Home" signs over the front
doors.

Take Steps For
Securing Dat e
Experiment Farm

A large gathering of farmers and
business men was held at the Bar
bara Worth Hotel on Monday to
discuss with the board of supervis-
ors the advisability of coupling a
government date experiment sta
tion. Over 80 men from all parts
! OF the valley were present to join
! in the discussion and urge action on
the part of the board.
Fergil Barber, farmer Of Calipat-
ria and chairman of the farm bu-
, reau date committee, acted as chair
man. He stated that the purpose
of the meeting was to show the
| board of supervisors that the bust
ness men and farmers of the valley
wanted government date expert
ment station in Imperial Valley. He
pointed out that the supervisors had
already donated the land, which was
not sufficient, and that the county
should also equip the station, and
then ask the government to main
tain it.
Unlimited Possibilities
DR.. Walter L. Swingle, date spe-
cialist of the department of agri
culture, explained the unlimited pos
sibilities in the date industry for
the southwest and stated that I'M
perial valley was the greatest un-
developed date region in the world,
and he had no doubt that there
would in the not distant future, be
millions of dollars spent in develop
ing the date industry in Imperial
valley. He believed that date
experiment station would pay for
itself many times over for the peo-
pie here.
Roland Reed of Imperial and
George Swami of Ell Ceutro, large
date growers, bot.i presented some
startling figures about date grow
ing and urged the supervisors to
agree to equip such a station.
Farm Advisor +. /. Garthwaite
pointed out that if the county re-
tanned title to the land and equip
ment every dollar derived from the
sale of products would go into the
county treasury. He stated that the
reason more people did not 60 INTO
this highly profitable industry was
due to the high cost OF offshoots,
and pointed out thar with county
owned and government-operated sta
tion there would soon be enough
offshoots to supply the demand at
reasonable figures so that many
more people would go into the in
dustry.
Francis Heiny and William Low
ther of Brawley and T. d. Mccall
of Imperial, secretary of the Tax
Payers Association, spoke endors-
ing the idea.
Due to pressure of business in
settling the courthouse contracts,
the Supervisors have as yet taken
no official action on the matter.
