Boys of Preston
School Learn to
Use Their Hands

The Preston School for boys, un-
der the direction of superintendent
Close and Mr.. Morrison, has ar
ranged an exhibit for the 1924
State Fair, differing from previous
years, in that the boys will be seen
at work, making shirts, suits, and
shoes in the booths. At this time
they have just completed new uni
forms for the Preston School "Boys
Band.
Along with this exhibit will be
shown n ease of fancy work done
by the Girl School mt Ventura.
Judging from the display of
home products, the lone School must
be nearly economically indepen-
dent, for in huge refrigerator are
displayed home processed chceses
and butter, hams and bacons, from
their own "porkers, preserved
eggs from the poultry plant and
vegetables and grains: all the fruits
of their own industry and labor.

BY CARLETON D. JOY

Although the business map of the
United States for the month OF
July shows that Southern Califor-
MIA the Imperial Valley in particular,
and part of Northern Texas are the
only sections in which conditions
are good, Frank Greene, editor of
Bradstreet s. states that ..all in
all there are a number of cheerful
signs and the feeling is now that
the outlook for autumn has improy-
ed. -
Imperial Valley has been one of
the bright spots in the commercial
and agricultural world all year, and
if predictions of ranchers, transpor-
tation experts and business men
mean anything, the period of pros
peritY is only just started.
One Of the important factors in
the prosperity of the Valley and
source of wonder to other regions
is the efficient and speedy trans
portation of the huge crops of per-
ishables.
Because of this service which has
meant many thousands of dollars
to Valley ranchers and shippers, the
El Centre Chamber of Commerce
passed the following resolution at
the meeting of the directors We'd
nesday night:
Dependent on S. P.
Whereas Imperial County, Cali
fornia, is dependent upon the South
ern Pacific transportation company
for prompt movement of its cnorm-
GUS crop of highly perishable fruits
and vegetables, and
Whereas approximately 10000
carloads of perishables ,have been
moved during the present season
without delay or confusion, now
Therefore be it resolved that
the board of directors of the FL
Centre Chamber of Commerce does
hereby highly commend the South
ern Pacific company for excellent
and uninterrupted service rendered
during the present and past shipping
seasons, and
BE it further resolved that
this resolution be spread upon the
minutes of meeting and copy there
of be sent to the Southern Pacific
company.
In conjunction with the trans
portation service during the past
season in which 125,000 tons of
ice were used in refrigeration of
perishablcs leaving the Valley, the
Southern Pacific is responsible for
opening up territory of approx
imately $4,000 acres of irrigated
land north of Holtville and east of
Calipatria.
Biggest Improvement
The completion of the Date line
branch extending five and a half
miles east of Calipatria from the
main line and then running direct
ly south for over 10 miles, has prob
ably been the biggest piece of inn
provement work in the Valley so
far as increasing productive pos.
sibilities is concerned, of several
years, those who are familiar with
the Valley say.
A trip along the new line from
Date to Calipatria will show beyond
dispute the need for such an outlet
for produce MS the road provides.
Eve have practically placed refrig
orator ears and transportation ser
vice in ranchers back yards in this

NOTES FROM THE OFFICE OF
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Quite number of the rural schools
made a special effort in the last two
or three weeks of the month of De-
cember and arranged for community
Christmas trees The two with which
| happened to come in contact were,
No. 4, Fennimore, Vesta Johnson,
teacher and No. 5, Fennimore and No.
IL, Wingville, who held a joint pro-
gram, Myrna Pearson and Walter
Needham teachers. No doubt many
other districts in the county had sim
liar festivities but these came under
my direct observation.
The children in both of these COM
munity meetings put on fine pro-
grams. After the program presents
were presented to the children and
other members of the district by
Jolly Old Santa Claus. Every child
in the district was also given a fine
big bag of candy 1t seems to me
that these things are worth while and
should be adopted by every rural
school district the coming Christmas.
1t might be of interest to many of
the patrons of our rural schools to
know that the State of Wisconsin has
system whereby she makes it profit
able for teachers to stay on the job
for more than one year. For rural
school teacher staying on the job for
two successive years, the state pays
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-01-09

her two dollars a month for each
month of the second school9year, for
one staying three years, the state
pays her four dollars a month, and
for one staying four years the state
pays her eight dollars month. We
nave in the county this year, so teach
ers who have been in the same school
for more than one year, "a of these
teachers have been on the job for two
years, ten for three years, and six for
four years or more.
These so teachers will be visited by
the County Superintendent during the
months of January and February and
if he finds their work satisfactory, he
signs a special blank furnished by the
state These blanks are sent into the
State Department of Education on the
first day of March, and the teachers
receive their various amount during
the following summer.
1t is gratifying to the County Su-
perintendent to note the great de-
crease in broken contracts at the
Christmas vacation time. In the past
few years we have had many teachers
giving up their schools at this period
of the year, in fact some years the
number has reached as high as TWEEN
ty. This year we have had only four.
Miss Bernice Larkins finishes the
school year for Miss Augusta Hop

Bessie Monroe for Helen narrower,

ner for Miss Marie Bennett, at it. No.

KANSAS CITY.-Mrs. Brldger Hahn
last Saturday sought to collect ST.
100000 libel damages from the Fa-
nous Players Lasky Corporation and
the Paramount Pictures Corporation
for alleged misrepresentation Of the
character of her father in "The Gov
cred Wagon"
Mrs. Hahn, only surviving child of
the famous western frOntiersman, de-
clared the Misrepresentation of
Bridger in the pictures brought dis
grace to her name and raised a ques-
ton as to her parentage. In the pic
ture, Bridger, is represented as "a
drinker and as having two Indian
women as wives. Many records pre-
scented with the suit for damages up
hold Mrs. Hahn's contention that her
father was an upright, temperate,
and Industrious man.

January a Good Old
Month for Pneumonia.

January leads all the other months
with deaths. 1t is also the beginning
of a dangerous season which usually
eliminates in a riot of pneumonia
during March. The death rate curve
DROPS off in spring and sinks to al
most nothing during summer. The
summer and early fall months are the
heaIthiest of the year.
Dirty air and lack of exercise dur
ing the winter months are the prlncl-
pal causes of high mortality We
huddIe indoors, stuffing every crack.
We eat too much and exercise too
little. When we go out we bundle up
excessively. The result is lowered vi
tally and a good feeding ground for
pneumococci The "Old Captain" OF
disease strikes and frequently. claims
another victim.
The healthiest people we know are
those who live a vigorous life in the
winter. They sleep with their win
dows open, shutting the heat off in the
bedroom and closing the doors. They
keep their houses we'll ventilated,
preferring fresh air a little cold TO
dirty air too warm They eat enough
to keep the bodily fires burning but

walks or indulging in winter sports.
When they go outdoors they keep
their extremities warm but do not
coddle the limbs, trunk, chest, etc.,
with furs, woolens and SO on. The old
fashioned red flannel chest protector
has no place in their wardrobe.
The person who coddles himself too
much chokes off his heating plant. He
depends upon exterior devices to keep
him warm and shivers constantly.
The person who dares the elements
depending upon his interior heating
plant is warm all the time. ~
Death is the ultimate end Of all Of
us, but why hasten it by wrong living
methods? And while we are living
why not live at one hundred percent
and enjoy life instead of say fifty
percent and be chronic bowler about
how bad we feel?
It's all in the mental approach and
the method.

Why the Eighteenth
Amendment?

Do not misunderstood us. We are
not against it's enforcement. The
Eighteenth Amendment is a part of
the Constitution of the United States.
So long as this is true, all aW-abid-
ing citizens should recognize their
duty to conform to it's requirements
and to sustain the authorities that
are established for it's enforcement.
To disregard law, to say, Because |
do not approve of law | am not un-
der obligation to observe it," is I'M
American, and subversive Of that re-
spect for law without which no gov
eminent can long endure. But why
so insistent and persistent the de-
mand that this amendment be en-
forced while wholly Indifferent to
other amendments no less a part of
the Constitution and to the enforce
ment of which those in power have
solemnly given their oath?
In the Fourteenth Amendment it is
declared, Representatives shall be
apportioned among the several states
according to their respective num-
bers, counting the whole number of
persons in each state excluding In
dams not taxed. But when the right
to vote at any election for the choice
of Electors for President and Vice
President of the United States, Rep
resentatives to Congress, etc, is
denied to any of the male members
of such State being of tWenty-onA
years of age and citizens of the
United States, or in any way
abridged, except for participation in
rebellion or other crime, the basis OF
representation therein shall be re-
duced in the proportion, which the
number of such male citizens shall
bear to the whole number of male
citizens twenty-one years, of age in
such state" If the Federal Govern
ment pays any attention to the en-
forcement of this amendment, we
should be glad to hear of it.
In the Fifteenth Amendment it is
affirmed that The right of the citi-
zens of the United States to vote
should not be denied or abridged by
the United States or by any state on
account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude," and Con
gress shall have power to enforce the
provisions of this article by appro-
pirate legislation" Imagine the re-
ception he would receive in Congress
who asked that either of these two
amendments be enforced, or that
eight or eighteen or twenty eight
million dollars be appropriated for
that purpose!
Earth is sick
And Heaven weary, of the hollow
words
Which states and kingdoms utter
when they talk
OF truth and justice"
