A recent "Forum - library per-

litam Lyons Phelps, professor of
English literature at Yale, in which
he names the fifteen novels which
are, in his opinion, best and gives
his reasons for choosing them.
Book lists are always interesting
and as Prof. Phelps says, 1.-The fact
that the list-maker can never prove
he is right and nobody can prove
he is wrong, constitutes an irresis
tible temptation. The list is as
follows:
Robinson Crusoc, Defoe; Gulliv
er's travels, Swift; Clarissa, Rich
ardson; Tom Jones, Fielding Euge-
ME Grandet, Balzac; Tho three mus
keteers, Dumas; David Copperfield,
Dickens; The scarlet letter, Haw-

Hugo; Anna Karenina, Tolstoi; The

Improvements In
Mountain Resort
Prouing Popular

Lavish expenditure of money on
the part of the owner, Bert l..
Vaughn, bids fair to make .Taeum-
| ba Hot Springs one of the most no
/ table all-year round resorts Of the
west and certainly of Southern Ca
lifornia.
Imperial Valley is particularly
fortunate is being situated so close
to this charming spot in the noun
tains, which is particularly luring
to valley folks when the summer
heat becomes uncomfortable in the
valley. At Jacumba it is always
cool as a balmy breeze springs up
every afternoon, even on the hot,
test day.
Surely the fates must have play
ed some happy part in, setting this
removed spot just exactly 45 miles
from FL Centre, by the speedometer.
And "Mayor" Vaughn is complet-
ing the work they so auspiciouslv
began, by taking full advantage Of
the gifts the gods left in the lap
of Jacumba.
The entire history and atmosphere
of Jacumba is romantic dating back
to 1904 when the famous Joe Ja-
cumba for whom the spot is named,
reputed to have been happy soldier
of fortune, came across the Mexican
border at this point and discovered
broad fertile acres and innumerabIe
springs of hot and cold mineral
water. Joe was wise old fellow
and promptly realized the impor-
tance of these springs, both from >
health and money-making stand
point, so he very wisely decided to
settle down and make it his per-
manent home. That he did so is cor
clusively proven by the quaint old
One-roOm home, built entirely Of
adobe bricks, and still standing in
a splendid state of preservation t.
mark the site of the enterprising
Joe s abode.
Ever since the springs have given
forth their uninterrupted flow OF
fe-giving mineral waters, analyzed
by leading chemists who declare
them laden with life giving minerals
which are beneficial in the treat
ment of rheumatism, anemia, diabs-
tis, and many other diseases.
But it remained for Mr.. Vaughn
to fully exploit the possibilities of
the charming spot, and to bring to
it the modern conveniences without
which even mountain resort can
not flourish.
He has brought to Jacumba all the
improvements of Il modern city, in.
Guiding electricity, water, sewerage
up-to-date stores of all kinds, and
even telephone service.

Just missed the path of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. f.. Truesdel on their recent
honeymoon trip, their lives will be
unusually happy:
Evidently the goddess of luck in
tends to do her best for Mr.. Trues-
del and his bride, who prior to her
recent marriage, was Miss Donaldine
Carey. Mr.. and Mrs. Truesdel left
this city at a late hour last Friday
night, following the wedding ccre-
mony which took place just after
the Central Junior College gradual
ing exercises, where Mrs. Truasdel
received her diploma.
Taking the Los Angeles road, the
young couple motored out of the
valley. Thev decided to stop at the
1ndio hotel, but upon reaching the
town changed their minds.
Later they secured Accommodations
in a private home i'll that city. Sew
eral hours later the hotel at which
they had considered stopping was
burned to the ground, along with
several other buildings in thar Wei
nifty. Only the prompt action of
the railroad employees at lndio in
assisting the fire department. kept
the fire confined to the half block
of the business district which it
ravaged
In addition to the fact that the
Truesdels would doubtless have lost
their baggage in the fire, had they
stayed at the hotel, they narrowly
escaped having their machine burn
ed, us they planned to leave it in
the garage next to the hotel, which
was also destroyed. Upon the ad-
vice of the woman at whose home
they stayed they parked the car in
her yard.

All the mountains around 'Jacum-
ba are rich in Indian lore and many
valley residents regale their sum
mcr vacation days by long hikes in
to the mountains in search Of Indian
relics.
The favoritc quest is for ollas
which the Indians are said to have

Grating Is Most
Satisfying Task
Scions Should Be Taken Be
fore Buds Begin to Start
Leaf Growth in Spring.

One of the most satisfying jobs that
one can engage in AT this season is
grating fruit trees. 1t is not q diff
.ult operation and the increased pro-
1uction of good fruit will repay the
cost many times in coming years,
says the Ohio Farmer.
The scions should be taken from
wood of the previous. seasons growth,
of trees of good variety and good
thrifty condition. They should always
be- taken before the buds have begun
10 start leaf growth. If the scions are
to be taken some distance on kept for
any length of time before being set,
the earlier in the spring they are cut
the better. If they can he set at once
they may be cut and set the same
lay. This may be done during the first
warn days Of spring.
Trimming the sciOns for setting de-
mandS some care. Leave either two or
three buds on the scion-tnree pre-
ferred. The top should be cut smooth
ly and close to the top bud. In trim
