OLD MAN FOUND
DEAD NEAR HERE.
NAME UNKNOWN

] As two children were proceeding
along Orange street at the intersec.
tion of DogwooG canal, about a
mile east of town. at one clock
yesterday they were startled TO see
an old man lying about ten feet
from the roadway alongside lean
to made of a discarded auto fender
and bit of sailcloth. From his ap
pearance they concluded he was
dead.
Such was the news that was
conveyed to Officer j. r. Applegate
and proceeding to the spot he found
life was extinct and the body was
already cold. A few meager camp
utensils lay around and it was first
thought the man may have been
hit with an automobile, but later
examination of the body showed no
marks or contusions whatsoever.
Coroner Lemons was informed,
and he had the body brought into
the undertaking parlors on State
street. The only possessions on the
body were a silver dollar and some
shoemakers tacks, with book in
which appeared; "Frang McCorn,
70, California. Whether that is
the man s name or not cannot be said
as there were no marks on his cloth
ing by which he could be identi-
fled.
Applegate describes the man as
4 recluse, having been round the
city for some time, and the coroner
is of opinion that death was due
to heart disease.
Search was made to find out if
the deceased had taken anything
with suicidal intent, but nothing
was unearthed,

lie the full Importance Of the
farm bureau program for 1925. The
installation of the traffic expert

the program is bound to be worked
out in the best possible manner, say
those behind the movement.
Farmers are no longer being urg'

the Imperial County Farm Bureau,
but are going voluntarily to the To-
cal office and taking out as hgh
as five memberships at one time.
The board of directors OF the farm
bureau organization does not wish

flood control, water conservation

anA secondly to study the possible
routes of the proposed aquednet
which would permanently insure an
adequate water supply.
All the representatives. are con
vinced that the phenomenal devel
opmcnt everywhere in Southern Ca
| lifornia demands a new and grea,
| er source of water supply which
will be adequate to all future
needs. Mulholland and Parrat are
convinced that every inch of ground
in Southern California can be sup
piled with water from the Colorado
River, and that although the Owens
aqueduct will meet the needs of
Los Angeles for some time to
come, provision will have to be
made for the needs of the future.
"Therc is but one adequate
source of water supply to which ali
the cities of Southern California
may go, said Chief Engineer Mul-
holland, of the Los Angeles bureau
of Waterworks and supply, "and
that is the Colorado river. An
is necessary, and for the
construction of the aqueduct 1t will
be essential that the dam at Boul-
der Canyon be erected, and not in
our time win the south be short of
water again.
Mayor Is Arrested
Word was received over the "a
dio Saturday night that the party
proceeding to the dam had been ar
rested for exceeding the speed limit,
the speed reported being so miles
an hour, and it was at first thought
that the Irrigation District delega-
ton had been held up, but it tran
spired that it was the mayor of
Los Angeles who was tagged by an
officer at Cueamonga crossing, there |
being q bunch of newspaper men
following the mayor S ear.

Spices Were Worth

The tuntalizing flavor ana plquant
qualities of spices have made them
sought after from tire earliest days
Of mankind, and an adjunct TO civil
zatlon at all periods.
In the early days of history spices
were worth fabulous sums, owing to
the difficulty Of obtaining them and
the high cost Of transportation.

Bohemian Paris NouU
Only Memory of Past

Tradltlonally. poverty and poetry go
hand In hand. So, while II Is pitlable,
1t is not surprising to learn that a
French poet who flourished In the
nlneties Is living in a garnet here to-
day. His distress, which 1t Is hoped
will be relieved. brings to mind the
change that has come over minor ar
lists in the last generation.
This change may be expressed most
briefly by saying that the Bohemians
have taken out naturalization papers
In Phllistia. Artists still are often
hard up, but not so of choice. They
take no pride in their poverty or In
Haunting their eccentrlcitles In the face
of the bourgeois world. On the con.
trary, they are given to admitting
quite frankly and even cynlcally that
wealth Is the Inevitable basis OF the
happy artists as Of the happy trades
mans life. They are no longer to be
shouting their aesthetic theories across
the sm0ke-laden cafes Of Montmartre.
Bohemian Paris survives now only
as an idea in the minds Of American
tourists. Its old inhabitants Of the
nineties and Of earlier ages, when Mar.
eel, Rodolphe, Schaunard and Colline,
that hyperphyslcal philosopher, dis
ported themselves, have gone, and
Mimi and Musctte have followed them

USE Tread TO CLEAN WATCH
Dough Frees Small Parts Of TImepIeee
of OIL. Chips Of Metal and
Other Things.

Although the custom is very old few
people realize that bread Is extensively
used in the making of watches. From
very early times II has been the prat-
tice of watehmakers to employ dough
made by kneading fresh bread with
water to remove foreign matters from
the parts Of timekeepers.
Curiously enough, there is no known
substance which will so completely
free the small parts of watch from
oil and chips of metal ms bread dough.
After rubbing with the dough, the
metal is absolutely clean. Every other
substance which has been tried tends
to leave some of Its own fragments ON
the metal. One OF the worlds largest
factories uses so loaves of bread day

BELLS WERE SPOILS OF WAR
Great Pride Taken by the 5eIglans and
cities Of Holland In Their
Carlllons.

From the Sixteenth to the Seven
teenth centuries carlllons (sets of bells
played by machinery or by finger
keys were often treated as spolls Of
war in the low countries, and especial
havoc was wrought at the end OF that
period when the French invaders sup,
pressed the abbeys in Belgium. Bells
captured in war were sometimes recast
into cannon or carried away as
trophies, or, again, they were ransomed
as a towns most priced possession.
When a city bought a carlton 1t was
formally welcomed on its arrival by
city officials and people, and amid re.
jolcings the bells were consecrated
with elaborate ceremony. Men and
women Of noble rank stood sponsors
Carillons then were, In fact, esteemed
an essential part Of the useful equip
ment MS well as the artistic adornment
Of progressive Netherlandlsh city,
Their care. their proper playing, their
enlargement, were constantly under
discussion. Even the referendum was
employed to decide questions relating
to them. Towns were rivals for pre-
emlnence In the carlton art, md bell
masters and bell makers were es-
teemed citizens Of great consequence.

ENGLAND HAD BULL FIGHTS
Queens Mary and Elizabeth Enjoyed
Them, and Also Bear
Batting.

Bullhghtlng, which is declining in
favor with the Spaniards, was once a
popular sport In England, though In q
somewhat different form II has only
been forbidden by law within the last
hundred years.
The bull was tied to stake, after
having the points OF Its horns protect
ed Fierce dogs were let loose on IT,
and q terrific battle would ensue. Bull.
dogs were bred specially for the sport
Their peculiar Jaws gave a grip so
strong that the bull could not throw
on Its attackers once their teeth had
met n It's shoulder.
BeaR,baiting, too, was popular at enc
tizacf Both Queen Mary and Queen
Elizabeth were fond Of bear-baitings
and bullhghts, Great men kept "rings"
and there was one In nearly every
place Of amusement. "BanksIde" was
a noted place for the sport" In Lon
don. The charge for admission was
penny to enter, another penny to go In
the grand stand" and a third penny
for the equivalent Of reserved seats.
Thursdays and Sundays were the ia
vorite days for batting bears and bulls
At one time the theaters were ordered
to close down on the former day so
that competition should not interfere
with the baitings.--London TitBlts.
