Palo Verde District
Discards County
Assessment and
Collection
Plan
'~NN~

AS A PLEA FOR VOTES one of the
candidates for District Director in this di-
vision advances the theory of combining
the office of Assessor-C Collector of the IT.
rigation District with that Of the County.
He does not recite any instances where
such plan is in operation nor does he give
any proof that such move would result in
actual economy either for the District or
the County.
Investigation by this committee brings
out the fact that only one District in the
State has actually tried the combination
plan. That District is Palo Verde, in Riv-
erside County. In 1923 that District se-
cured special legislative act in the state
legislature, which act was drafted accord
ing to the exact specifications of the Palo
Verde district, providing for levying and
collecting District assessments by county
agency.
After four years of experimentation
and trial, the people Of Palo Verde district
appealed to the legislature to amend the act
to provld for separate agencies for levying
and collecting District assessments. The
present method is virtually the same as the
one in operation in this District.
Four years under the plan advocated
by Mr.. Mousseau showed Palo Verde people
that better efficiency, and therefore, great
er economy, results from keeping irrigation
district assessments separate from county
supervision.
The declaration by Mr.. Mousseau that
he favors such plan cannot be based upon
sound facts, and fails to recognize that
there are certain differences in law respect
ing irrigation assessments and county or
state taxation. While the project of merg-
ing the county and district is always an in
teresting one, particularly where the peo-
ple who pay assessments and taxes al IN
volved, the subject is too involved for
"snap" judgment and before the people will
undertake to make change as important
and far-reaching as this one would be, they
will require Mr. Mousseau, or any public
office candidate, to show adequate proof
of the value of the proposal.

NANCY PAGE Nancy Fares We'll
 When in Hospital
 - By Florence In Ganke

While Nancy was in the hospital she had many visitors. Most of them came bearing gifts. Nancy said that every day was like Christmas. She felt 50 rich in tho possessoin of her new daugh- ter Susan. that she felt she was giving her friends gifts when they came to see here and she could show off this new daughter.
 But her friends who had been helped and cheered by Nancy NO many times in the past wanted to show their appreciation in some way.
 Nancy especially liked some It, tie noseRays that one of her cousins sent. These little bou- quets of flowers were often called "tussymussies. They had one small rose bud, some tiny sprigs and separate biossoms---often the size of button chrysanthemum arranged symmetrically around the center flower.
 Nancy could hold one of these and smell it's fragrance. With large bouquets set in vases on dresser or bedside table this was not possible.
 Another appreciated gift was q bed jacket made from the popu- lar knitted lace. This is being used for dresses this year and con- sequentiy is on sale fin the yardage department of most shops.

 "It's good thing" Judy said. 1T do want Chummy to be quite well when she sees him again. Of course, he's been inquiring for her. and 1t would be difficult to have to explain 1t all. oh, Basticn, isn't 1t wonderful?"
 But the young mans face was gloomy.
 You can take enough interest in other peoples love affairs" Bastien said. "Oh, Judy, you'll drive me mad!"
 "Don't be absurd, Bastien," she answered, with the straight, kind look that she always had for him. Let me tell you c discovery I've made, old boy. Clara Jenks is crazy about you!"
 He gave an impatient exclama- ton, which caused the girl to con- tinue with 6 touch of mischief:

 "Its perfectly true, Bastien. toll you that girls a duck and q brick, and one of the very best; and mark my words, one day she'll be a star. Anyone who could make me laugh as she did while Chum- my lay dying is simply bound to be famous! And yet all the time her heart was bursting with misery. just like mine. Bastien, if Clara loves you as much as l think shc does. you're n lucky chap--indeed you are!"
 Judy, stop it!" was all he an- swered. You're mocking me-"
 It was February--a soft day of mist and sudden warmth with just n simmer of green upon tho trees in the parks, us if careless- ly brushed on, but by an unerring hand.
 Judy stood with Alan Steyne in Chummy's room, which was fur nished up as far as their slender resources allowed and bright with spring flowers, contributed almost blossom by blossom by the "boys" of the Cafe Turc as tokens of their Joy at Chummy's recory.
 "Chummy's out" Judy said. "She is quite well again and her mem- ory has como back. 1 tried to write to tell you in Paris. but 1t was too difficult. She dreamed about you first. but 1t must have been in hcr mind that sho had seen you. She---she loves you aw- fully. O'Shane told me 1 wasin't to hurry her memory; but I've been telling her that 1 believe in dreams. and I know she thinks you're coming back"

YOUR CHILDREN yNHpRobey7sRsl7uu 0I03lBY NfA SERVICE. INC. (

Few people know that children are slowly coming into their own in the theater world, that is to say that plays they can understand are now q reality.
 The Chiidren's theater of New York has been in existence for eight years. For four years the players have made tentative for. ages into the other cities that have been less foresighted with regard to this need of the young people.
 They begin usually by present. ing Saturday morning matinee under the sponsorship of local club, for tickets must be sold in advance, advertising seen to, and other detail work attended to. If ono play is q success, and 1t al- most invariably is, they make ar- arrangements to present others--ten or twelve they have in their reper- l toire, I believe.
 The most popular plays are Little Women" Alice in Won- deriand," "Heidi," Beauty and the Beast" Mrs Wiggs of the Cab bage Patch" (chiidren's version) Hans Brinker," "The Secret Gar den."
 Professional Performance. Young adults play tho parts. They are highly trained profes- sional artists. And who do you suppose has done the settings this year? None other than Nicola GelikhovBky, who designed the scenery for that colorful and beautiful review, "Chauve Souris' nf hnnDv rnemOry
 Children love q real show with real people. No attic performance. two pins admission, ever lacks nn audience. no matter who Is in il or how bad they are.
 l Imagine Alice" In the flesh The story was splendid in the movies, but to actually see Alice and the Rabbit, and the Duchess and the Mad Halter. would surely be one delicious joy.
 The sets are tra nsported in ( huge van bearing pictures of fairy tale characters on It's sides. Thini. of that! And the young troupers themselves have costumes to make the children dream happy dreams for night afterward.
 | I hope that the Children's Thea ter will have q banner year and that cities that have been too busy h or too disinterested to bother be- fore this remember the children In the future and try to engage these young artists sometime and give their children a treat.

One reason today's debutantes are So well-poised is that they are sure of their charm.
 They meet guests who drop in wil all the grace of a seasoned hostess. They meet older people as we'll as young with a pleasing ease.
 Don't think 1t is accidental. Don't think 1t Is just sheer youth full cockiness. It Is far from it. It is the result of a self-assurance that comes from knowing they are well-groomed and perfectly CO., ordinated.
 Good grooming Is more import ant to boise than the clothes you wear. When you see woman who is easy and pleasantly at home anywhere, look her over. Her nails usually are beautifully mani cured, her hair cut or fixed just right and her face creamed and made up to perfection.
 If you are inclined to be uncom- fortable with people you don't know or if you find yourself strained at meeting new folks, there are certain fundamental le3- sons in boise you should learn.
 First of all. learn to walk nat urally but with buoyancy and ease. Mincing steps are out. Easy grace is in. The best way to learn to walk right Is to learn to keep that cen- ter portion of the body, from the hips to the bust, 1.-the and straight. Suppleness shows in every step you take.
 Second, learn to berathe right. Keep your body alert. Breathing correctly helps you. If you will practice breathing deeply morn. ing and night for a fortnight, you will get so you do 1t correctly quite unconsciously.
 Third, learn to swing your limbs from the waistline. not below the hips. This necessitates litheness mentioned before and only exercise gives you this.

Sue knew now of whom the sketch that she had seen in Ar. holds portfolio of picture remind ed her. Nancy Becker! It waa Nancy and It wasn't. The same strang mystery of breeding eyes, that managed to be so open at the same time that they were so secretive. The old exotic charm. But it was q younger face. And Nancy certainly didn't wear her hair that way. Maybe she had once.
 Sue knew that her mental com ments were Fidiculous. But just the same she had sense that she was about to step into the second act of Q very good play. She was so interested in her own thoughts that she didn't think about Jacks losses. She had made up her mind, berfore her marriage, that she would be a good sport about everything. If Jack lost everything he had and 1t wasn't much Tn the stock mar ket, she would laugh. If he care- lessly let smaller sums get away well, men didn't like woman who criticized and lectured even for their own good. Besides, she didn't want money. Just Jack.
 I'm no end sorry that I made such Q fool of myself tonight" he was saying tonight. "One hun dred bucks. Gee. Sue, that's Q good piece of money"
 Sue laugher. Just be glad that you didn't leave the losing up to me. Think how much worse 1t would have been!"
 "Why don't you lecture me on my fnorals?" His arm slipped across her shoulders and pulled her closer.
 Because I adore your morals just as they are."
 Suddenly Jack changed the con- versational trend.
 T wish I could figure out why Harry and Corrinne weren't in- vited tonight. Joe knows Harry as well as she knows me. It isn't like her to leave them out, espe. cially when we're staying there, and they know we are."
 Nancy's face came floating be- tween Sue and the dark road ahead. Could that have anything to do with 1t? Probably not.
 "Corrinne is having a party of her own" Sue heard herself say ing. "It's to be before we leave. And she's asking Joe and her hus- band. think"
 "Sue, are you sure you aren't thinking I'm 17 kinds of fool to let myself get inveigled into a again. "Joe Is one, ali right. So is her husband"
 Sue was smiling to herself as she answered. Anything Jack did would be right with her. Forever. She knew 1t. People didn't have to have quarrels about things. All other. It seemed so simple. riding along in the autumn night. So easy.
 The house was quiet when they reached home. Corrinne slipped with sleep, as pink as the silk negligee she wore.
 There's been a man looking in our windows tonight. We sent for the police, and I guess he was any strange sounds, give q yell or something. I'm scared"
 Maybe q tramp" Jack an- swered. "Everything's locked. isn't it?" ,..
 Might locks and extra bolts and everything. But l don't like the idea"
 For just q secorbi, before Sue went to sleep, she remembered that there was 6 balcony outside of the windows in the room. The entrance to the house, below, had

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form ing and must be continued.

Vessel Bound South Brings l6 Here from Sitka

Our voyage has been a liberal education" said one of the 16 teachers making the round trip between Ketchikan and Sitka on the steamship Admiral Rogers as she stood in the bright light of a full moon at midnight last night on the shore end of the vessels gangplank just before it was lift ed aboard for the journey south ward. We have been favored with delightful weat h er-perfect most of the time. Those of our party who had never before been north of Ketchikan marvelled, of course, at the scenic grandeurs on the route between there and here and at the wondrous beauties of the sea and shore near Sitka, and to others of our company who had previously made the trip it re- vealed, as it always does even to most frequent voyageurs, new at fractions, surprising and entranc- ing. We have been treated with a hospitality that has known no bounds. Juneau, especially, has been kind and gracious. Our vaca- ton has been happy beyond ex- pectations.
