ST. PArRrCK,S DAY

ST. RATRICK'S DAY
st. Patrick was the man who drove
From Ireland all the snakes
He drove them with the shamrock leaf
That grows around the lakes.
He must have been holy man
And got from God the power.
With which the drove out all reptiles
And only used q flower.
He walked all through the countryside.
With this flower in his hand.
And all the vermin fled before him.
Clear out of Iralsnd.
We can't all be st. PatrickS,
But We can do our part.
And wear the colorS on this date
Green ribbons on our heart.

CLUES PLAN 4 GOOD ONE
". @. COSTELLO,
Manager

A unique method Of assisting the Wom-
al 3 Ten Thousand club, pioneer organ
ization of Ell Centre, stimulating bus
ness in this city, and encouraging local
housewives to buy things they may need,
is planned for Tuesday, October %.
Instead of seeking to raise money for
the clubs work by the usual method of
card parties, teas or other entertain
ments, the women have suggested busi-
ness-like plan which will benefit the en-
tire community.
Briefly it amounts to nothing more
than having each merchant in the city
pledge certain percentage of his cash
sales for one day to the club. The latter
in return, sees to it that his sales are
much above the average.
There are approximately IT'S women in
the club and each Of these is pledged
not only to buy whatever she may need
on October %, but to drum up the idea
among her friends so that they may do
the same. If anyone thinks 175 energetic
and determined women cannot greatly in
crease Ell Centro sales for one day-he
just doesn't know women. The plan by no
means limits purchases to women, men
being encouraged to do the same.
The idea is new to Ell Centro, but 1t
has been tried elsewhere in California,
with splendid success. 1t has been pop
ular with merchants. for it stimulates
the buy at home" idea, and keeps the
dollar right in the home town where it
will do the most good.
There are still some details of the plan
to be worked out, but the club women will
keep it prominently before El Centro be-
tween now and October %. The Ten
Thousand club has habit of getting
what it goes after, for it goes after it
armed with the best weapon in the world
hard work. The women are working
hard on this plan and there is no doubt
that October % will see sales heavy
enough to make merchants think Christ
mas has slipped up the calendar a couple
of months.

The Julian mess, Californa's black
eye which has been in the spotlight for
three years, is now a thing of the past,
the last cases having been dismissed yes
terday.
1t was Just as we'll to wipe them off
the calendar, for past experience has
proved that getting convictions in this
particular debauch is we'll nigh impos-
sible.
Through the crookedness Of company
officials and politicians. the greater part
of S10O,000,000 of investors money dis
appeared. Only one person has really
been punished for the crime-Asa Keyes,
formerly Los Angeles district attorney,
serving a term in prison for accepting a
bribe to lease up on prosecution in one
of The cases arising fom the Julian crash
Ed Rosenberg and Jack Bennett or
Berman, are also in prison. They were
never heard of before the Julian case and
their personalities are negligible.
Thinking the whole thing over. we ar
rive at the conclusion that Keyes is not so
badly off. He is paying for a crime of
which he is guilty-we don't doubt that
but blessed if we don't admire him
more than the other scoundrels who
gained by the Julian collapse and who
are not paying for their crime.
Keyes fought hard to escape convic-
ton, as any man would. When he lost
out he walked up TO meet his punishment
and is taking it. He will be released some
day, and far-minded men will be ready
to forget the past and give him his chance
to start over again. He will have paid
and in so doing made himself more of
man than scores of so-called respectable
people who were as guilty as he was
but who didn't happen to get caught.
