VOTE on TUESDAY

QE sure to vote next Tuesday
~ This is the last opportunity to remind
some readers Of The Press that Tuesday
is election day, and it is the duty of ev-
cry citizen to cast his ballot in the pri-
mary election.
1t has been pointed out before on num-
erous occasions that the primary is Just
as important as the general election and
that if citizen fails to vote at the pri-
mary and election, he loses his regis
tration. One must vote at either one or
the other, in order to remain perman-
emily registered.
BY this time citizens should be we'll
acquainted with the qualifications of the
various candidates and have chosen the
party they intend to support. They have
also received sample ballots and notifi-
cation of their voting precinct
Despite all this, however, it is a GER
tainty there will be some who will for
get it is election day or who will not
know where they vote.
There will be others who will not wish
to take the time or trouble to go to the
polls. Nothing can be done with this
latter class. Yet they would be the first
to object, and they would object the long
est and the loudest, if the privilege of
the ballot were refused them.
Voting on election day is duty as
we'll as a privilege. The voter who goes
to the polls stamps himself as a good cit
izen, interested in the government under
which he lives No matter how good
citizen may be in other lines, if he de-
liberately stays away from the polls on
election day, he cannot lay claim to being
good citizen.
Vote any way you please, but be sure
to vote on Tuesday.

WTHTSTLING COWS

IN the COW country of Nebraska, DR..
Peter Johanna Christensen has per-
fected an invention which seems likely to
prove boon both to cow owners and al
falfa growers.
A cows digestible tract is quite COM
plicated business, for a COW has four
Stomachs. But despite the extra equip
ment with which nature has endowed
the COW, her eye is generally bigger than
her four stomachs and the result is that
bloating, often fatal, sometimes follows
a hearty meal on alfalfa.
Now DR.. christensen has fixed it so
that the cows can eat their alfalfa and
have their health, too. BY means of
perforated cylinder, fitted with ball
valve and spring, inserted into the cows
stomach, bloating is stopped before it
starts. The alfalfa gas is allowed to eS-
cape-with whistling sound-as rapid
ly as it forms. The thing works auto
matically, the valve opening when pres
sure reaches a given stage.
Farmers who have their sleep dis
turbed by the whistling will at least have
the comfort of knowing that man has
provided something for his cows which
even nature forgot about, and that the
safety valve is taking care of what
might have been very strenuous night
for Bossy.
That the invention has infinite posi-
bilities is obvious. By simply blending
the notes of the various whistles in his
herd, farmer may have harmonious
music to cheer him as he goes about his
daily toll
And when the first enterprising Ne
braskan organizes the first genuine all
cow whistling choir, his fortune will be
made

saw the crowd of bunny boys and
girls clustered around the rubber
tube that was fastened in an old hot
water bag. For it was from these
things that Uncle Wiggily had
made a drinking fountain for his
children.
A clothes pin, fastened on to
pinch the rubber tube together

when no one wanted a drink. But
the trouble was some of the bunny
children wanted a drink all the
time. Their father had made them
the drinking fountain after Mrs
Longears said she couldn't make
any more carrot lemonade.
The bunny boys and girls had
fun this hot day taking turns
drinking from the rubber fountain
and though they got in the way
Of one another and splashed and
splattered, still they were polite
about it.
For a moment none of the rab-
bits was at the fountain, strange
as it may seem, and Nurse Jane

Whats the matter?" asked q

"I can't make a broom hole!'

OKLAHOMA TRYS
new SYSTEM OF
GIVING PAROLES

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 27. U.6
Rehabilitation of humanity by
turning men ont of prison is the
plan of c. E. B. Cutler, Oklahoma's
quiet and confident pardon and
parole attorney.
Not many years ago, as history
counts time, the gallows was the
only method of reform. IN recent
years, man made the punishment
fit the crime. Now, he is being
taught to make it fit the man.
Rehabilitation and reform re-
place punishment in Cutters credo.
And the man Who has handled for
Gov. w. H (Alfalfa Bid Murray
what is considered a governors
most harrassing task, has done it
with a minimum of criticism, along
lines laid down by Murray.
An unprecedented liberal system
of probation has been inaugurated.
Leaves of absence, temporary pa
roles and paroles have been granted
in greater numbers than ever be-
fore.
Cutler believes that those who
cry "coddling and sentimentalizing
every time anybody tries to do some
thing for the criminal class are all
wrong. He would do more.
He would give many of them a
chance in society again without
waiting until the end of a fixed
sentence, with resentment in their
souls against an unrelenting sys-
TEN.
Cutler believes trial releases
where the prisoner is kept under
closer supervision and with the
constant threat of return to prison
hanging over him if he fails to do
right, the most satisfactory solu-
ton to the ever-groWing prison pop
ulation.

EXPERTS RELATE
DIFFICULTIES In
OTHER DISTRICTS
Twenty-Seven Irrigation
Bodies In State Report
ed In Default.

II. D. Wagner, secretary of the
California Districts association,
and H j. Hankins of San Fran
cisco, attorney for several irriga-
ton districts in the northern part
of the state, are in the valley to-
day for consultations with Imperial
Irrigation district officials and
directors.
Bosh are said to be authorities in
irrigation matters and always show
deep interest in local irrigation
affair." They attended this morn
ing's session of the district board.
Tive aty-seven California irriga-
ton districts are in default" said
Wagner this morning, land out Of
that 81 plans for refinancing have
been accepted by but five. None OF
the pla rs advanced by the five
districts aas been accepted by all
OF the bAndholders even though
accepted Ly the districts. This
shows how difficult it is to devise
a plan to meet wit h the approval
of bond holders. I was reminded of
these cases wheA told there was
some agitation tlere along the
same lines.
The Nevada Irrigation district
is working on plan for the is
suance of refunding bonds to take
the place of outstanding bonds
with a reduction in the interest
rate. Merced irrigation district
has been working for almost a year
and has not yet found a plan salts
factory to either district or bond
holders. -
"Oakdale, in the south San Joa-
quin, adopted a plan which met
with the approval of the district
but during the past eight months
only 10 per cent of the bondhold-
erS have agreed to it. Waterford
worked for the past six mont hs and
less than 60 per cent of the bond
holders have agreed to the sug-
gested plan which calls for a re-
duction of l per cent in interest
rates and no reduction in prin-
cipal.
Bonds Are Lien
so many bondholders know that
irrigation bonds are a first lien
and believe the security behind
the bonds is ample to pay dollar
for dollar the regular rate OF in
terest agreed upon that it is prac-
tically impossible to get them to
agree to any reduction in interest
or principal.
Under irrigation law and eS-
pecially in regard to recent su-
preme court decision in the So
called tax cases, there is no doubt
in the world that landowners who
fail to pay irrigation district
assessments will eventually lose
their property
1T may be that the landowner,
by failure to pay his assessments,
will cause the bondholders some
embarrassment, out the greatest
loss will be suffered by the land
owner.'
Directors dispatched a mass of
routine business this morning as
it was expected members of the
Imperial County Farm bureau
water charge committee would at
tend the afternoon session for the
purpose of presenting a resolution
passed at the bureau meeting
Saturday.
