BASSETT YOUTH
PREFERS VALLEY
TO PASADENA

George Bassett, IA, Pasadena
schoolboy, likes Imperial Valley
! George was born here and his life
up until the time his family took
+ him to Pasadena was an enjoyable
, one, he says. But in Pasadena he
didn t do so well. He failed to keep
up in his schoolwork and he didn t
feel at home. So George came
back.
But his visit is due to be short
one because George failed to let his
parents in on his plans when he left
home. He just walked out. When
he arrived in FL Centre, he went to
the home of woman who had been
a neighbor and great friend while
he was in Fl Centro She agreed
that he might stay at her home and
90 to school here.
George wrote special delivery
letter to his mother, he claims, and
then sent her a telegram, letting her
know that he was safe and telling
her of his plans. He would get n
Job In the summer and pay the wo-
man for his keep and in the mean
time he would get caught up in his
studies.
But Georges parents balkel.
Word was received at Sheriff Gil |
lett S headquarters to the effect |
that George had run away from
home and informing the police |
where he could be found. He was
locked up and is being held for the |
arrival of the parents to take him |
back to Pasadena.

time. Funeral services were held
in the school at Calipatria this aft
ernoon and the body will be shipped
tonight to Pomona for burial.
Rev. Soper came to Calipatria
about four years ago and his work
among the church people of Cali
patria won him innumerable
friends. His congregation grew to
such an extent that it was necessary
to use the schook at Calipatria for
services, the small church building
being unable to accomodate the per
sons attending the services.
Mrs. Opha l.. Soper, the widow, is
the only survivor.
The funeral arrangements are in
charge of Il. L. Lemons, local under

In loving remembrance of my dear
husband, John S. Veasey, who departed
this life one year ago today October
13, 1926:
October once more is here
To us the saddest of the year
For his memory is as dear today
AS the hour he passed away.
Home is sad, so sad, how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome, every spot;
Listening for his voice till weary,
Weary for we hear it not.
Father, dear, you had to leave us,
And we loved you, ah, so well;
And the way our father suffered
None but his own tongue can tell
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger,
Round the grave where he is laid;
Through the pearly gates of heaven,
Passed the one we loved so dear
Our. lives cannot speak how we loved
him
Our hearts cannot tell what to say
God only knows how we miss him
In home that is lonesome today.
The flowers we place upon his grave,
May wither and decay,
But our love for him who sleeps be-
meath,
Shall never pass away.

'TIGER" SHEPHERDS BUNNIES

Tiger, a beautifully marked house
cat in Florence, Arizona, state peni-
tentiary has been for many years a
pet and favorite of the institution.
He became an inmate" at this place
when so tiny kitten that he had to
be fed with an eye-dropper. He
lived to good age and gave his life
in defense of baby rabbits grown in
the prison garden, where the bakery
manager had a small rabbit farm
within the walls of the penitentiary,
and "Tiger" followed him about and
formed a great attachment for the
young rabbits, which he protected.
Other cats that found their Iway
into the prison sought to catch the
young rabbits and "Tiger" fought
many a battle with them in safe
guarding the bunnies. In one of
these battles "Tiger" was so clawed
and wounded that he died. The
faithful cat is sincerely mourned by
the prison inmates.
