FOREwoRD
Old Traditions Die Hard

Although a mans idea Of woman
has changed much in the last half q
century, especially since the war,
there still are many men who hon
estly. If un~consciously, believe that
all women are weak, and that the
good woman is the woman who has
not been tempted-at the right time,
in the right place, and under the
right circumstances.
The father Of Lynda Fenton is one
Of these.
He is a periodical drunkard, and
presses upon his daughter that every
woman is the slave Of her emotions
and her love Of material things, and
ultimately she will sell herself il the
compensation happens 70 please her.
Her Fathers Words
"Some women insist upon marriage
as the price," he says. "0thers want
money or power. Whatever II may
be, the man who is enamored Of q
woman, must pay. and pay. and pay
He has told his daughter, ever
since she was old enough to know
what words mean, that she cannot
escape the terrible dictum. Men will
desire her as they did her mother
before her, who not only deserted
himself. but also her baby daughter,
for some man who could give her
love and luxurious surroundings in
stead of the comparative poverty
that he had given hen.
Lynda Fenton, because Of the in
trinity Of her father. had grown up
- wnffAMww~ F~mAt-~ "a - -
vironment, and her fathers constant
iteration, she had evolved a theory
OF her W in regard to life. If she
were fated to eventually sell herself,
she would be very careful to get the
highest price, and she was not sure
that this was TO be marriage.
That theories are worth nothing
until they are proved workable, and
that then they are not theories, but
facts, Lynda did not know.
What She Learns
During the three months Of which
this story is a history, she learns
this, and upon these few weeks hang
all her future happiness or sorrow.
How it turns out, and what it
means TO her, depends entirely on
the unconscious character she has
developed in her solitary childhood
and youth, for it is a sad fact that
most experiences come too late to
bring anything but regret.
The crucial three months of Lynda
Fenton's life problem begin with the
erd Of her school life and the begin
ming of her work-a-day existence in
the office Of Ralph Armitage. The
history of these three months is an
important human interest document,
for sooner or later the problem has
to be answered by every woman.
Nature always insists upon some
kind Of an answer from them, and
TO the momentous question, what
price love, the following story Is the
answer.

MELOLAND STATION NEEDED

Imperial county is ready to organize and combat
to the utmost the movement to eliminate the expert
mental station at Meloand
There has long been a determined effort to remove
the station which has than proved its worth to
the farmers of Imperial Valley. In the past it has
been possible to quash it before it gained much head
way. The present movement is likely to succeed un-
less every organization in the valley takes up the gaunt
let and joins the fight.
At the meeting in this city Wednesday night, it
declared that the removal of the experimental station
would work positive hardship the ranchers. Sim
liar stations in other parts of California would be of
little if any aid, to farmers here, soil and climatic
conditions here being different from any other section
of the state.
Imperial Valley farmers at present go to the
experimental station for advice almost any problem
that confronts them Experimental plots for all sorts
of crops conducted there, and the knowledge of
them thus gained is available to the farmer
Every farm center, every chamber of commerce,
the Associated Chambers of Commerce and the service
clubs should unite behind the committee appointed to
direct the fight and lend the fullest cooperation to
keen the station here.

UNCLE WIGGIIY AND THE
CLAPPER CLIP

Uncle Wiggily and the Clapper
were going along together looking
for an adventure. Uncle Wiggily
was a rabbit gentleman who lived
in hollow stump bungalow, as per-
haps YOU remember. The Clapper
was the long piece of iron, like Il
tongue, which hung in the bell on
the Hollow Stump School.
You might think it queer for a
rabbit gentleman to go adventuring
with the clappcr of the school bell.
But this is the way it happened.
As Uncle Wiggily was leaving the
school where Dazie, the Wogglejig
girl, had danced and kicked two of
her wooden legs in the eyes of the
of the staring wolf, the bunny heard
voice speaking.
1t was the Clapper of the bell up
on the roof of the school. The Clap
per said he was tired of staying up
there, where it was so cold, and all
of sudden, giving himself a swing
and changing the bell, down fell the
Clapper.
Take me with you!' he begged
Uncle Wiggily. 1T will warm me
up to 90 adventuring with You.
But said the rabbit gentle

ClaPper ~ should think staying up

'That's all right laughed tie
Clapper. "Tomorrow will be Satur-

there will be no need for the bell

"All right" said Uncle Wiggily
las long as the children aren't late
for school. Come along!'
So the bunny rabbit and the Bel
Oapper went over the fields and
through the woods. Once Uncle
Wiggily jumped fence and the
tJaPpcr was not far behind HIM.
