 How could l have, Mother" l expostulated. Tt is all inexplicable to me. There is nothing here at the farmhouse worth the attention of an ordinary thief"
 "Ah, But you never can tell me that these were ordinary thieves" my mother-in-l law retorted. They were after some one thing, whatever it was, that they thought was in the house, They wrecked that room that Marion used to have, the one where they got in through the win dow. I suppose they took that one ! because of that thick wisteria vine I've told your father he ought to have bars across that window, but he said Marion said it reminded her of prison. l suppose they'd have treated tAe other rooms the same way, only they didn't dare go any further when your father came on them. All they thought of then was getting away safely" Mother Graham's Theory

Mother Graham Has Her Theory Regarding the Farmhouse Dur
 glary and Unfolds 1t to

My mother-in n-law's knock put an end to my confidential talk with my small son. I knew that even as I put him aside to answer the per emptory rat-tat-tat she had sounded upon the door. Katherine would not have come back until ] had summoned her My father, much IS he loved me. would not have dls- turbed my first meeting with my little lad after the near-tragedy of the night before, but Dicky's august mother had a very keen sense of her own dignity and importance, She wished to see me, and she could imagine no circumstance which would hinder her from gratifying her desire.
 She was in a gracious mood, how ever I saw that with a quick breath of relief as I swung open the door. Knowing her idiosyncrasies, I had feared that she might deem herself mortally offended by my go- ing to Junior first, instead of paying my respects to her, but the exciting events of the night evidently had so shaken her that she was in no mood for anything save gratitude for the households escape from tragedy. and pleasure that I had arrived.
 ''Well, Margaret, it's a good thing you're here" she said as I bent to kiss her. T suppose Mrs. Bickett has told you about what happened last night"
 "Yes. she and Junior" I said with a smile at my small son. l knew that he was still upset over the realization which had so suddenly come to him-that he was too old to relate as true such a farrago of nonsense as had been his first story of the nights happenings, and 1 wanted him to be sure of my ap- proval.
 "The blessed lamb.' she said shakily. and then her eyes brimmed.
 'lf you had seen him, Margaret she said, with never a tremor as that awful man held him in front of him and carried him downstairs. l thought the sight would leave my old eyes. l think I must have faint ed, although nobody knew anything about it, for when I remember d anything again I was stretched out in a chair in the hall by my door and everybody else was downstairs. But I could hear Richard Second talking, and l knew he was all right. so I didn't worry about the rest of them. They could take care of themselves, the same as I had to-"

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS EISEBEIN Editor Journal of tEe American Medical Association and Of Fly
 goia. the Health Magaxin;.

geia, the Health Magazine
 During recent years much has been said of the wide extension of the condition known as ringWorm Of the feet. The popularity Of golf with the wide use of public shower baths, the extension Of the gym nasium and of the swimming pool seem to be associated with the large incidence of this condition.
 It is marked by the appearance on the feet of soft corns and swell ing, blisters, itching and m&isture between the toes. The specialist in diseases of the skin is able to take scrapings of the material and after treating it with proper solu- tions to examine it under the microscope and find the fungus or organism that is responsible
 Not infrequently the organism IS to be found, as pointed out by Drs. Williams and Barthel. along the sides Of the toe nails or just under the toe nails, and even though the condition is cleared up between the toes, the persistence of the organ ism around the nails makes rein- | lection of the feet very easy.

Flip took great deal of interest in Striped Chipmunk. At first he wasted considerable time trying 10 catch Striped Chipmunk. That, then was his chief interest. But, having learned that Striped Chipmunk was quite equal to taking care of himself Flip became satisfied merely 10 watch the bright-eyed little chap with the striped coat. He was worth watching, because he seemed to be always doing something.
 It happened one morning that Flip was sitting some little distance from the hole on the edge of the driveway, where Striped Chipmunk was so often to bc seen. At the mo- ment Flip wash thinking Of Striped Chipmunk, Very likely he wouldn't have thought of Striped Chipmunk just then but for the fact that he saw a little movement in the grass and, or course, instantly vas all at tention. If it was Striped Chipmunk over there, Jlip proposed to remain right where he was Of course, 1t might be some one else who didn't know about that hole. IT, that case, Flip might have the excitement of chase.
 Out of the grass darted a small figure and sat right up at the edge Of that hole. The instant h. saw it. Flip said to himself It's Striped Chpmunk!" You rcp, he recognized the striped coat and the tail But when he had a good look at the little figure sitting up beside the hole, Flip wasn't so sure. In fact, he rubbed his eyes twice He couldn't believe that he really saw what he seemed to see. "If that is Striped Chipmunk." muttered Flip, what under the sun has happened to him? There IS something dread fully wrong with him. His head is ali out Of shape and twice as hie as 1t ought 10 be. I have seen nIu q good many time, but have never seen him look like this.'
 Before Flip could move, Stripct Chipmunk gave q funny little twist to his head and disappeared in that hole. Flip remained right where he was and kept watch. He wanted tC See Striped Chipmunk come out. H. didn't have long to wait. The hea, of Striped Chipmunk suddenly ap peared just above that hole. Int little fellow took q look all arount and then out he jumped and ava! he ran. This time Flip was sure thu there had been trouble with hi eyes, for there seemed to be nothin: at all the trouble with Stripet Chipmunk His head looked just q: it ought to look.

The irrigation distribution system

district which last year voted z
bond issue of $500. 600 for that
purpose. Engineering work for this

point south Of Mission To PenitaE,
thereby eliminating its second lift
pump. The water lift at the Penitas
site, eight miles west of Mission. Is
approximately 40 feet. the water be-
ing carried across the Goodwin,
Mission and Sharyland tracts and
distributed by gravity to the entire
acreage in the district. The pump
ing plant is one Of the most eff
cient In the Valley. and with the
completion Of a concrete distribu-
ton system the entire plant of the
district Is expected to be brought To
a high state of efficiency.
The district has approximately
$4,000 acres irrigable and under the
flat rate, OF which $4,000 acres were
under irrigation this year. Accord
ing to a census completed by dist
riot officials in May the district has
$500 acres planted to citrus fruit,
and this acreage is expected To Id
doubled before the end of the next
planting season. Practically all land
Is well adapted to citrus culture,

Decision Of the district voters u

closure that In various sections Oh
the area served large acreages were
being damaged by seepage from the
dirt canals. Officials of the district
also pointed out that less than Az
per cent Of the water diverted from
the Rio Grande was being applied
TO beneficial use and that the only
way To eliminate this water loss and
land damage would DE I'd place tie

voters responded BY voting almost
unanimously for the bond issue. fi-
