SYMPATHY WOULD HELP

TEN suicides were reported in Los An
geles and immediate vicinity over the
recent weekend.
1t is quite likely that the 10 individ-
uals would have ended their existence at
that particular time regardless of where
they might be and it is not any reflection
upon Los Angeles that they chose that
particular city.
All 10 were persons who had met with
reverses, financial romantic or other
wise. There is no place where disap-
pointed person can become so miserable
as in large city.
He who has been crossed by fate sees
hundreds of other happy individuals
coming and going, light-hearted and
happy, or appearing so, and his own
distress is magnified far beyond its real
import He feels sorry for himself
and seldom stops to figure out that even
those who appear SO happy to him may
really not be any more happy or sue
cessful than he is.
Right now there are thousands who
are carrying on" under circumstances
which they never dreamed a few short
years ago would ever be their lot. Men
and women who had much, have lost
much and many who had very little have
lost even that. But they carry on just
the same.
1t is not fair to say that those who
seek an end to their troubles in self-de-
struction are towards. None of us
knows the inward thoughts and feelings
of even our closest neighbor, to say moth
ing of the casual acquaintance or the
stranger. We know nothing of the trials
and tribulations, the griefs and disap-
pointments which are everywhere about
us but which are generally unknown be-
cause the rank and file of US keep our
troubles to ourselves.
Had there been some one to whom any
of these 10 felt they could have turned
to unbosom themselves, they might have
foregone their last rash act But the
city can be cruel and heartless 1t can
be generous and charitable when it
knows, but too often it doesn't know.
Smaller settlements offer a greater
opportunity for sympathy to the unfor-
tunate one. We know more about each
other and care more for each other than
do the city dwellers. Even we pass by
the unfortunate many times unknowing,
but there is a greater chance for us to
know and knowing, to help.

BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD z. GARRIS
Copyright, 1928. By Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

I have a beam shooter. What do
you mean?"
Il mean," grunteu the pig, TAX
ing a long stick to scratch his
back. "I mean that if you had a
bean shooter you could blow beans
high up in the air and knock the
balloon full of holes. The gas would
pop out of the holes and then Bub
would come down.
"Ha! That's a good ideal" said
Uncle Wiggily. I'll go get one of
my little children's bean shooters.
1 think I saw Buster playing with
one this morning. You watch to
see where Bub goes"
II will!' promised the pig gen.
tleman, so he kept both eyes on
the floating red balloon and the
little boy, in yellow trousers, hang
ing to the string. Pretty soon Un-
Gle Wiggily came hopping back.
Il couldn't find Busters bean
shooter" he said, "but I got Baby
Bunty's," and he took a long tin
tube from his pocket.
Good" said the pig. did you
bring any beans?"
"Oh, forgot the beans!' gasped
the rabbit. "Oh, dearl"
Never mind, we'll use little
stones" grunted the pig. LET me
blow, 1 have a very strong breath"
In another moment Mr.. Twistytail
was shooting pebbles at the red
balloon. Pretty soon one hit it.
There was loud pop as the bal
loon burst and Bub began to fall.
"Oh! Oh!' cried Uncle Wiggily.
I'VE must catch Bub in something
or he will get hurt. Why didn't I
bring a pillow or a sheet. Oh,
dear!"
Never mindl I'll catch him in
my basket" said the pig. II was
taking a basket of cream puffs my
wife just baked to Aunt Lettie, the
goat. See, the basket is full of
cream puffs. Bub can fall on them
and he will not get hurt at ALL"
oh, how lucky!" cried Mr..
Longears. So he and the pig held
the basket for Bub, who soon fell
into it on top of the cream puffs.
The puffs were smashed but little
Bub wasn't in the least hurt. Out
OF his basket he jumped with a
laugh, saying: Now for another
adventurel"

MYSTERY SKULL
ADORNS OFFICE
OF SUPERVISORS

Perhaps it is warning to those
daring persons who would cross the
Imperial county board of supervis-
ors in their desires, or it may have
something to do with the old say
ing about taxes and death, but at
any rate there is a skull perched,
like Poes raven, atop the clerks
desk in the supervisors chambers
at the court house.
Just where the skull came from
remains a dark mystery. There
are several round holes in the sides,
but they apparently were drilled
there by some irreverent person
long after the demise of the skulls
original owner.
Perched under Romeo C. Smiths
hat, or it may have been the hat
i of A. Y. Preble, the skull would
have grinned maliciously at the un-
happy efforts of these mere mortals
to obtain happiness, except for one
thing. The lower part of the grim
ming apparatus, consisting of the
jaw, is missing.
1t isl rumored about the court
house that the skull appeared i'm
mediately after the supervisors set
the county tax rate. Others, draw
ing a closer parallel with Poe's
morose raven, declare the skull
was there when the tax rate was
set, and might be heard in a ghostly
whisper to paraphrase that same
raven with a scarcely audible sigh
of, "Forevermore.

balloon. The balloon was filled
with gas which made it so light
that it rose in the air. And the

deputies.

tracks is V. Valenzuela, who is held

of the alleged theft from the Top
rahanian ranch southwest Of El
Centro of tools from a tractor. j..
B. Morgan is the owner of the
tools.
Valenzuela, was arrested by Don
Campbell, who followed tracks
from the scene of the asserted
theft to Mexican camp. Campbell
said today that the Mexican had
one of the stolen Wrenches in his
hand when he was arrested.
This is the third arrest within
the last two weeks brought about

Uncle Wiggily was jumping up

he was pulling his long ears and
he was shouting:

path just then.

boy with golden haid, blue eyes

DESERT VICTIMS
BROTHER SEEKING
TO GET ESTATE

Fusion of the old and new was
manifest in probate court yeSter-
day afternoon when Gilbert Gun
derson, through L. P. Sargent as
his attorney in fact, filed notice OF
petition to determine heirship to
the estate of his brother, Peter
Gunderson, who died June 1, 1881,
, victim of the desert over which
he had wandered for years in
search of gold
October 7 was set as the date for
a hearing of the petition before
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson. Gun
derson's estate, valued at $8725, is
being administered by S. P. Will
liams, public administrator, who
was appointed after Gunderson's
remains were found on the desert
which had claimed him as a victim
of heat and thirst.
Gilbert Gunderson, living at Day.
ton, Ohio, had forwarded legal pa
pers making Sargent his attorney
in fact, with mandatory powers.
Should Gilbert be found to be a
legal heir, as Peters brother, and
in case there are no other heirs,
the estate probably will be turned
over to him.
1t is probable that the court
hearing October will touch light
ly on the desert tragedy which
claimed Gunderson's life, since his
death already has been established,
but will deal mostly with the claim
of his brother to heirship.
When Gunderson's body was
found, mangled by coyotes and
shriveled by the desert sun, it was
thought that he left no estate, but
was penniless at the time of his
death. Later investigation showed
that the estate amounted to more
than $4,000, consisting of funds in
bank and promissory notes due

SERIES APPROACHING

IT is getting near that time of year when
millions of citizens all over the coun-
try step out of their ordinary staid roles
Tor week or more and revert to their
boyhood days when knot-hole peeping
was the thing for those who didn't have
the price of admission.
In other words the world series is ap-
preaching. The big league races have
been decided and in another week the
Chicago Cubs and the New York Yam
KEGS will be battling for baseball's high
est honorS.
Many will say, what of it? To them
the series is not important. But any
thing that holds the close attention of
millions OF persons is important. wheth-
er we like the attraction or not.
The west, not being provided with
major league baseball, does not reach
quite the same intense degree of rabid-
ness that afflicts the baseball fans in
the Atlantic coast and midwest areas,
but they take it seriously enough at that.
There is a peculiar appeal about a
world series game that no other athletic
contest can arouse. 1t is different from
the big football game or the big boxing
contest. Many attend the games posi-
oly because they are something out of
the ordinary, but the big maj ajority of the
spectators are there because they would
rather miss two or three meals than miss
the baseball classic. Every moment. of
the game is packed with interest and ex-
citement for them and they get as much
mental and physical stimulation out of
it as the players who are actually parti-
cipating. That is your real baseball
fan.
The world would probably get along
just as we'll without the big series, but
it is so vitality American that to have
fall come without the series would be
like having a month of July with no
Fourth" 1t just wouldn't be right.

er's attention, Ell Centro is opening a
