AGED MAN WHO DREADED PAUPER'S
GRAVE, DIES IN COUNTY HOSPITAL;
BIC-HEARTED ELKS WILL BURY HIM

Grandpa Clagett is dead. The
little old man whose story was told
in the Press last week. died at the
county hospital this morning after
putting up q brave. though feeble
fight against death. The end
came peacefully and Grandpa -
just passed away as silently and as
easily as a leaf falls from 4 tree.
Readers of the Press will recall
that Grandpa s" last wish was
that he should not be buried in n
pauper s grave. After making his
way against the world for 90 years,
the old man asked that only he
should rest in grave free from the
stigma of the potter field.
To provide decent burial "Grand-
pa boarded nickles and dimes from
his scant purse, often going with
out tobacco, an old mans only com
fort, in order TO add to his little
fund. A few days ago he gave
what he had saved to Superinten-
dent Weir, asking that it be used
TO provide him with regular bu-
rial. More than year of scrimp-
ing by Grandpa" produced the
pitiful sum of $40, hardly enough
for plain pine box.
Elks To Take Charge
But Grandpa'' = is going to have
the kind of burial that he wished.
Remembering one who said: "Inas-
much as We have done it for one Of
these, nv least brethren. We have
done il unto me- the Elks of this
city asked Superintendent Weir if
they could not take charge of
Grandpa's" funeral. Their re-
quest was readily granted. AL
though he was alone in the world,
without kin, without friends,
"Grandpa" will be given a burial
that will do full honors TO little
old man who perhaps failed in the
struggle with life, but who kept
fighting to the end.
The body was removed this morn
ing 10 the funeral parlOrs Of B. F..
Lemons, who, as trustee of the
Elks lodge, is taking an active part
in arranging for the funeral. The
time Of the funeral has not been set
but will be announced in tomor-
rows Press, and the Elks invite
the people Of this community to
drop few moments from their bus
mess and Join with them in giving
Grandpa" " Clagett the kind Of
burial that he wished.
Grandpa" did not ask for hon
ors, but why not give them TO him,
say the Elks. Day after day the
majority Of US 90 about our bust
ness too absorbed in the cares Of
life 10 give thought TO the poor,

year, We do say that it will be bet
ter than ever before said ". w.
Van Pelt, secretary Of the Brawley
Chamber of Commerce. who was in
this city today with H. T. LaBre-
que, who is assisting him in getting
the preliminary work for the fair
under way.

q criterion of its worth TO COM
munitv.'' said Van Pelt. " and we
are going to give all our attention
to make this fair this year of real
benefit to the community and to the
people who visit it.
Van Pelt pointed out that q cat
tie show, and automobile show or
an implement show can be given in
December in almost any part of the
country, and while these features
will all be included in the Mid Win
ter fair, it is the intention to spe-
cialiZe in the fruit and vegetable
departments, as there are few places
in the United States that can make
any kind of display in these lines
during the winter.
Arrangements have been made
for one Of the best carnival com
panies to provide amusements dur
ing the MidWinter fair, and all
connected with the fair have
pledged their word that only the
cleanest shows will be tolerated.
The fair will open on December

continued; "however wholesome and

for the first nine months of the fiscal
year. For instance, the consumption
of cigarettes increased tremendously
during this period, for the taxes
amounted to $165,271, 949, an in
crease of SIC, 100000 over the nine
months period in 1924.
On the other hand, the revenue
from excise taxes on automobile
trucks and automobile wagons, mo-
torcycles and tires showed a sharp
decrease of $33, 1000, 600. This is ex-
planned by the fact that the new
revenue law contained a lower rate

Those living in small towns will be
interested in the opinion expressed
by the department of agriculture
that the villages need toning." Most
villages, declare department officials,
have just "grown up" with resultant
defects in form and arrangement to
provide social, esthetic and economic
advantages for residents and nearby
farm families.
The government has prepared a
bulletin covering the subject.
The question arises as to just where
the governments function ends. If
you want to fulfil the governments
specifications, look around and see if
your town covers the following speci-
fications: Physical layouts should
be based on naturalness, healthful-
ness and convenience; housing condi-
lions should be sanitary, convenient
and economical; dwellings should be
satisfactory to the eye and set in
pleasant surroundings. If every
community followed the proposal of
the idealistic gentlemen of the de-
partment of agriculture we would be
in a modern Utopia.
