Besides. you had better 60 70

"Oh, it isn't early at all, Unkie

wishing, though he loved Bunty
very much, that the little orphan
rabbit would hop away and let him
go TO sleep again.
II don't have to go to school be-

Bunty with laugh. So I'm going

THE ARMY CALLS
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

1T is not too early to call attention OF
i FL Centre residents to the campaign
for funds which will be started here next
Thursday by the Salvation Army.
The work done here during this winter
by the Army has been nothing short OF
miraculous With hundreds of men being
fed every day, others supplied with
clothing and lodging, and the ordinary
local charity which receives the atten-
tion of the Army, the organization has
saved the residents of this city much IN
convenience and annoyance, and many
hundreds of dollars.
In Captain Myall, the Army has an
executive who is a hard, Conscientious
and tireless worker. He has had no blare
of trumpets, nor has he sought any. His
work has been confined to doing and not
talking. Careful attention to every de-
tail has enabled him to carry on the
work in the face of an always shrinking
and inadequate treasury.
One has only to drop over to Army
headquarters any day or night to see
what is going on there. 1t is not neceS-
sary to take the word of anyone, but II
one does not wish to make the visit, then
he can take our word for 1t that every
dime contributed to the Army is put to
good use and is made to do the work OF
a quarter.
There will be no high pressure sales
manship connected with the Army cam
paign. 1t will be handled by the local
organization, with the assistance of local
businessmen who are known to this COM
munity.
Captain Myall is reposing full faith
in the generosity of the people of Ell Cen
tro to give him the money necessary to
carry on the ordinary work of the Army.
He rightly believes that the work which
the Army has done and is doing, is en-
titled to the fullest consideration.
Wouldn't it be a good idea now to set
something aside for contribution to the
Army next Thursday? El Centre needs

SPLENDID TALK
ON AUSTRALIA
GIVEN KEWANIS

MacLean Wilson, lieutenant gov
ernor of Kiwanis district No. ii,
was the speaker at Kiwanis club
luncheon yesterday noon at the
Barbara Worth hotel, choosing for
his subject, Australia
He spent a number of years in
Australia and gave a graphic pic
ture of business conditions, govern
ment and educational system of the
Australians. The area of the baby
nation" is practically as large as
the United States, said Wilson, and
has only 100000 inhabitants.
In that country, said the speak
er, large acreages are looked upon
as more beneficial than small ones,
the method being in direct contrast
to the United States.
After the session Kiwanians asked
questions and Wilson told them cac-
tus was known as the greatest pest
in Australia and was the same type
as that found in Arizona. He said
it had destroyed millions of acres
of land.
The Australian method of raising
taxes in entirely different from
that employed in the United States,
he said A heavy tax on unim-
proved land is one feature. AS the
land is improved the taxes are de-
creased. A man on a salary pays a
/ large federal tax, in some cases
amounting TO the equivalent Of
three months salary per year. A
stenographer is taxed at the rate
of one weeks salary per year
Australia is a beautiful country
in Wilson's opinion and advised
Kiwanians to visit it. He said it
had more to offer tourists than
Europe
1t was ladies day at the club and
many women were present for the
occasion.
! Eric V. Caudell, baritone soloiSt,
entertained with several solos. His
accomplishments were played by
: Estelle Livingston. Harold Tyler
was chairman OF the day.
