I shudder when I break an egg

I've sympathiZed in tender style,
Oh, farmer friend, with thee.
I ask that for little while
You'll sympathize with me.

Congress was treated to a word
picture of how a lie travels the other
day and the description has been
preserved for posterity in the Con-
gressional Record. Representative
John N. Tillman of Arkansas is
author of the following:
The short and ugly word moves
like a meteor. A lie can travel 40
| miles while the truth is getting its
boots on. Slanders have been riding
about like demons on rumor's tongue.
Everybody has been trailing the
winged feet of furtive whispers. The
keen-fanged sleuths have been hot on
the scent of every tale-and tales
there are a plenty.
Mrs. Grundy or Wild-eyed Wash
| or Windy Jim or Babbling Bobby re-
| marked that Susan Slusher has not
swept her kitchen since Christmas
eve, or that Merry Mab1e has been
seen talking to a traffic cop for five
whole minutes, or, what is more to
the point, that some Senator or Rep
resentative has received 100000
| doughnuts for voting for a bridge
across Salt River.
"The story starts and away it
goes. After 1T has made three rounds
twice and zigzagged across the circle
once or more, Mr.. Stringing Bee
hears it and whispers it to Henpecked
| Pete's brother-in-law and he starts
with it on the run.
"A lie travels faster than the
truth because 1t meets so many friends
who give it ride. Truth gets up
| in the cold, gray dawn and has to
knock four times before he can get
| a door open, but a lie is greeted with
| the glad word, creamed and coffeed
and fed and petted and laughed at
and slapped on the back, and then
fsent hnrrying on in the swiftest auto
mobile - 4Ae nAace."

ley also provided forage for ap-
proximately 10000 sheep, the ma
jority of which came from points. in
the northern part Of the state, and
a few from Arizona. Practically all
the sheep will be shipped out to
Los Angeles within the next two
months the movement at present be-
ing around 100 cars q month.
Several hundred head Of dairy
cattle were also shipped into the
valley, most Of which have already
been returned to the points Of ori-
gin, chiefly in Arizona.
Each winter the valley provides
feeding grounds for outside cattle
but the movement this year has
been heavier than in any previous
year, due to the extraordinary short
age Of feed in this state and adjoin
ing states, caused by the water
shortage.
Inquiries are still being received
at the Southern Pacific office from
Fresno and Arizona points, asking
about feed conditions here, show
ing that shortage Of feed still
exists in those sections, though Il
is not believed any more cattle will
be shipped in here before fall
Imperial Valley press., 1925-04-07

Between 10000 and $4,000 head
Of feeder cattle have been shipped
into Imperial Valley during the past
few months, because of the short
age Of feed lands in Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas and the northern
part Of California according to rec
ords kept by the district freight
and passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific company.

the principal points from which
shipments originated. The abund-
ance of feed in the valley doubtless
saved the southwest many thousands
Of head of cattle which would have
otherwise perished, had the valley
not been available to them.
With the approach Of warm wealth
er, these feeder cattle are being
shipped out, the majority going to
the Union Stockyards in Los An
geles though slaughter houses in
Pomona and San Bernardino also
receive substantial shipments. From
175 to 200 carloads of cattle are
being shipped from the valley
monthly and this number will in
crease MS warm weather approaches
until all feeder cattle have been
shipped out.

desired bay shore highway was not
included in the proposed ALLEGATION.
Federal Aid Funds
Alloeation OF the s2,690,000 TO
certain roads in the state was the
highway commission compromise
This money, it was explained by
Chairman Harvey Toy, consists
mainly Of federal aid funds and
does not include any Of the revenues
contemplated under the proposed
one cent gasoline tax increase. 1t is
the only money, Toy declared, that
will be available for new con
struction during the year unless the
gasoline tax increase is passed,
In his talk before the committee
Toy explained the difficulties of
preparing a biennial budget at this
time. Nearly s40,000,000 worth of
important work needs to be done
and members Of the highway com,
mission have not been able to agree
on which $20,000,000 of this work
is most necessary, he said.
This plan, according to Toy, fol
lows up the agreement of Ga per
cent to the south and "a per cent to
the north. OF the total amount to
be expended only 100000 would be
placed on roads in the northern part
of the state.
Although the commission budget
takes care Of only s2,6o0,000, which
will be used in new construction,
State Comptroller Ray Riley told
the committee that the highway
commission will have revenues total,
ling $33,61o,ooo, during the coming
biennium.
