LOVE MAY Be BLIND

But before you can impress some
one of the opposite sex enough to
get them to share this happy state
of mind with you, you certainly
must keep your appearance pleasing
and attractive. Pimply, blotchy.
eczemic skin seems ten times worse
to strangers and new scquaintances.
And even husbands, wives. parents
and kin feel sorry for loved ones
who suffer from such skin diseases.
The way to get rid of all these
drawbacks to unbroken affection and
devotion from dear ones rs well as
new acquaintance, is to use the
wonderful Black and White Oint-
ment. 1t is economically priced, in
liberal packages. The soc size con-
tains three times as much as the
&c size. All dealers have it.

long runs. where the gopher's burrow
system tops the gravel sub-soil and
leads. many a rill of precious water
down beyond recall, the direct loss
of water resulting in really serious
matter on many tracts. Even in the
valley, one rancher told the writer
recently that if he could get rid of the
gopher in his place he could run it
on one-third less water. Every drop
Of the water lost in gopher holes goes
down to join the ground water and
shows up in the low places to swell
the seepage damage. Practical elm
nation of the gophers from our fields
would probably have a marked effect
on seepage damages and reduce the
water levels in many low spots.
Mr.. SWANS department cooperates
with local bodies to put on systematic
campaigns to wipe out these pests.
Trained field agents are furnished to
teach the local workers the methods
and supervise the campaign. The ter
ritory is divided into districts, each
handled by squad of six men under
aleader. The squad starts at one end
Of its district, taking it up tract by
tract, and works through to the other
end Poison is used. Then it goes back
and goes over the ground again, get
ting the gophers that slipped through
the first time. This work is done in
the late fall. 1t is claimed that fully
50 per cent Of the gophers in dis
trict are killed in few weeks by this
method. A trapping campaign is or
ganized among the owners to get the
few gophers that survive. The cost
OF such campaign has varied from
nine cents an acre where the work
ers are volunteers to 80 cents an acre
where hired workers are used. Sew
eral districts in Oregon have carried
out such gopher campaigns last year
and the Teton district of 10000 acres
near Yakima has started to do so this
season. They will handle the work
through their irrigation organization,
using the patrolmen as squad lead
ers and hiring the necessary help.
The cost will be included in irriga-
ton maintenance assessments.
1t would be well if the farmers
OF our valley would consider the mat
ter carefully and talk it over at
Orange and other meetings. 1t may
De that it would pay our people hand
somely at some future time to organ
ize and get rid of gopher damage
once and for all.

in Delta and vicinity. The rain CON

dust which has been the cause OF a
great deal of discomfort of late. The
paving program was, OF course, de.
layed by the rain. and work was sus.
pended for the most part for one day.
The lack Of crossings on Main street
was the cause OF much trouble as II
was practically impossible to cross the
intersections without becoming mlred
in the mud. However, the rain was
very pleasing and the refrain Of
pedestrians on Main street changed
from, isn't this dust awful? It Just

that two or three thousand dollars
spent in this work each year could be
vastly better spent than the same
amount spent in a school where only
fifteen or twenty children could be
reached.
Last year the work which was done
was entirely voluntary. But it is not
conceivably fair that the people of a
county permit any one individual to
spent their good time and money in
work which so evidently is the re
sponsibility of all of the people. So
this year the attempt is being made
to obtain a County Boys and Girls
club leader who will devote his entire
time to this work and give the 1000
and more boys and girls of this county
the opportunity which they deserve.
If you are interested in seeing this
work put across, use your influence to
get a club leader for Delta county this
year.

NUCIA MAN KILLED IN
HORRIBLE WAY BY SAW

C. NJ. Preston met almost instant.
aneous death at Nucla Tuesday fore
noon when he was literally cut in two
by huge circular saw. Mr.. Preston.
who was sixty-five years old, was an
experienced sawmill man and mill
wright but was perhaps too used to
machinery to use the proper caution.
He attempted to make some adjust
ments to the mill apparatus throwing
the carrier out of gear and stepping
between it and the saw which was
still in motion. While he was at work
the clutch slipped, throwing the car
rier into gear and in motion toward
the revolving saw. Before Mr.. Pres
ton could act he was carried into the
saw and his body was cut in two be-
fore his partner could stop the car
rier.
Mr.. Preston was one of the principal
stockholders in the Nucla Power &
Lumber Co where the accident oc-
