AS we read Of cyclones, typhoons, tidal
waves. earthquakes and other destructive
forces of Nature claiming their heavy
toll in divers places, our hearts are filled
with THANKSGIVING to a kind Providence
bv which we have been spared the mis-.
erv. desolation. want and suffering with
which our less fortunate felloWman has
been afflicted on land and sea. In this
community custom had for many years
set apart October 25th as a DAY of thanks
giving and prayer to the God Of the
Universe for our preservation during this
period of elemental danger and, although
it no longer appears on our holiday cal
endar, the absence of legal sanction has
not destroyed our regard for its impor-
lance, marking as it does the termination
of a period when we are all more OF less
anxious and mindful Of every threatening
cloud lest it should fOreshadOW that vista
ton from which we are unable to flee
and which we have by bitter experience
learned to fear. There are still among
US many who have not yet fully recover
ed from the effects of the hurricane of
1916 and who are thus doubly able to ap'
preciate the peace and security enjoyed
so far from year to year until this time.
Conveniently, this year October 18th tails
on a Sunday when cessation from daily
labor and duties enables US 10 devote
thought to things not entirely material,
and our safety and comfort should appro-
p"riately engage our meditations. There
fore, one and all of US will find an oppor-
tunity of expressing our gratitude to Al

CHILDERS SAYS
PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR PACT BILL

Attorney Charles L. Childers, of
the Imperial Irrigation district, who
returned on Saturday stated this
morning that the six state pact bill,
introduced into the California leg
islature by Assemblyman Finnev of
this city, has an excellent chance of
passing the senate, following fav.
orable action by the assembly last
week.
The bill will reach the senate some
time this week, Childers stated, and
indications are that it will meet
with stiff opposition from those
who are objecting to its passage.
Attorney Childers will leave again
tonight for the capital to assist AS
semblyman Finney and Senator
Ralph D. Swing in getting the bill
through the senate.
Assemblyman Finney is making
an excellent reputation at Sacra-
mento, Childers said. There is moth
ing spectacular or showv about the
Imperial county representative, he
said, but he has the complete re-
spect of all who have come in con.
tact with him, and is creating a
very favorable impression for I'm
perial county.

STAT RECONSTRUCTION

ST. LOUIS, No, Mar. 23.-South-
ern Illinois, swept to near destruc-
tion by Il cyclone, this week starts
the long grind Of rebuilding.
Tabulations today show $50 were
dead and upwards of 1850 injured
over the area which stretches from
Annapolis, Mo-, to the Indiana line.
More than three fourths of the
dead at West Frankfort and Muir
physboro have been buried. At
Murphysboro 4 public funeral for
the POI stricken was held yester-
day.
The city's ministers, allotted five
minutes apiece for the funeral, used
faith as the keynote of their ser
mons.
Today the grind of reconstruction
started. At Murphysboro plans
were under way for the rebuilding
of the Brown Shoe company where
400 men were employed.
At Gorham, where only IA homes
are standing where last week there
were 500, the rebuilding began to-

Important Bill
Affecting County
Goes to Governor

Telegraphic dispatches from as
semblyman A. G. Finnv announce e
that the county government act for
this county is now in the hands of
the governor, for his approval. This
act provides for the county officers
and their deputies, and fixes their
compensation and salaries.
The bill, which is now with the
governor, is the result of a thor.
ough investigation by the grand
jury of this county, and its provi.
sions are recommended by that
body.
This bin is particularly impor-
tant because of the needs result
ing from the growth of Imperial
County, and its peculiar situation
as border county, and the bill, as
it is presented to the governor for
his approval, is entitled to, and
will not doubt receive, the. endorse
ment of all informed citizens of
this county, those interested in its
passage declare.
