Four Presidents See Need

One of the last bills passed by
congress gave the president author

session. Our last four presidents
have recognized the need of a
drastic reform of this kind, but we
have never before had a president
who knew how to go about it.
So far as politics is concerned.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TWO
CHANCES.

Things are only half as bad as We
think, and worry only blindfolds the
eye that might see the good half.
Listen to q story;
One Negro was worrying about the
chance of his being drafted for the
army. The other consoled him.
There's just two things can happen,
boy. You is either drafted or you
amt drafted If you amt, you can
forget 1t; if you is, you've got two
chances. You may be sent to France
or you may stay here. If you stay
here, you don't need to worry; if you
is sent to France you've got two
chances. They may send You to the
front and they may leave you in
Paris. If you stay in Paris, ycur
troubles are over; if you got to the
front you've got two chances. You
may be shot and you may not. II
you're not there's no reason to worry;
if you are shot you've got two chances
You may die and you may get we'll
and even if you die you've still got
two chances. Milton Eagle.

SCHOOL coNsoLpAT1oN.

1 read in your paper of last week
about the many favorable features
and facts in favor of consolidation of
the Columbia school with the Vashon
school. Hope you will give place for
few remarks on the other side.
A community without school do
not appeal to people seeking home for
their family. The question is always
is there a school and church," If
our school is given up we will have to
say: mo we have not school, we
have to send our children to vashon'
People are moving in here two families
to Beulah Park now and Others are
building.
We have to retain our school for the
good of our community.
Concerning the great saving I see
that we will save s3l5 for janltor,
$35 for light and water; $50 for fuel;
s35 for janitor's supplies and 500 for
upkeep and the salary Of one teacher
This is no saving for us. We will
have to pay our 10 mill taxes plus the

extra mills voted to vashon water
work. Our income from state and
county will be transferred over to
vashon. We have families that need
the janitor job living in our COM
munity and spending their money
there. We have lately put in our own
watersystem and paid for 1t; put in
electric light; paid years insurance,
bought stoves and made improvements
all this will be loss and ruin to our
community and the empty building
will stand as reproach to a people
that could not take care of their own.
Concerning Transportation.
doubt that transportation can be
furnished for 65-70 children for 5000
per year from standpoint of health
and comfort what is gained? Most
of the children will have to walk to
the countryroads and in oil kind OF
weather stand along the roadsides
waiting to be crowded into q bus in
wet shoes and clothing to walk to the
school will keep them warm and more
comfortable than to be crowded in
and sit shivering in bus. That is
a greater menace to health.
Advantages of a modern building
and a better school. Our school on
the Westside humble in appearance
has given fine output of graduates
to the high school and will do 1t here
after. The Record tells us that the
Westside pupils are fine materials.

all fairness that at least two of Mr.,
Peterson's statements shold be cor

cent of money from the Cove district
would be spent in putting water into
the vashon building. The mill levy
for that purpose has already been
voted by the vashon district. an
amount of about $1,000 which cannot
be used for anything but that specific
purpose. Cove would have no part In
that improvement.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
NOISY JAY

Uncle Wiggily was lying in bed
in his hollow stump bungalow. It
was too early to jump up and
slide down the stair banister rail
to eat his breakfast and Mr.. Long
ears was sort of resting himself
and thinking about Carpet, the cold
dog who had wrapped himself in
a rug.
Then the bunny gentleman, who
was really only half awake, start
ed sleeping again. He was doing
off in that happy state, half awake
and half asleep, when, all of a
sudden he heard a loud voice Shout
ing:
"Heyl Hey! Hey!"
MY goodness!" thought the rab-
bit gentleman, starting up so sud-
denly that he awakened himself
with a jerk. If those are some of
the animal boys calling for some
of my rabbit boys to come out and
play I must tell them it is a great
deal too early. They are disturb
ing my morning sleep"

WEATHER. CLEAR AND MID

WHEN many other sections of the
W country experienced unpleasant
weather of one sort or another, it is
worth commenting on the brand given
Imperial Valley during November, which
could hardly be improved.
The warmest day showed a reading of
SO degrees and the coldest record was
40 degrees. The mean temperature for
the month was 64.4 degrees, which is sat
isfactory enough for any place.
While we do not give the weather as
much attention just now perhaps, as we
do at other seasons of the year, it is not
amiss to comment upon it in compari-
son with that given the rest of the coun-
try.
There was one cloudy day during the
month, the sun shining on the other 20
days.
Those of US who have lived in other
parts of the country know that Novem-
Der can be a most disagreeable month,
but here it is usually one of the most
enjoyable of the year. 1t is we'll worth
remembering when the hammers are
brought out during July and August.

FIRST FROST
DUE SHORTLY

Imperial Valleys first fall frost
may be expected within short
time, said Fred Baughman, frost
expert and representative of the
United States weather bureau in
the valley.
After study of valley records
Baughman said the average grow
ing season, the period from the
last frost in the spring to the first
frost in the fall, was 302 days.
Since it has been 301 days since
the last frost, Baughman said
growers may expect frost any time.
In 1907 the growing season was
1863 days in length. In 1908 the
season was 355 days and in 1912 it
was 353 days,
Records show, said Baughman,
that frost may occur any time in
December. In 1926 the first killing
frost was on December q.
Baughman said there are 36
thermographs in the valley this
year, two more than last year.
One of the new ones is situated
il the Graham orchard southeast
of Ell Centro and the other on
the Cudahy- -Heber ranch.
/ The month of November in I'M
perial Valley was cooler than aver
age, he said.
Frost warnings are broadcast by
Baughman nightly. AT 7:30 over
KXO and at over KNX.

THE BEST WAY OUT

DECISION to file friendly suit against
u the board of supervisors in an effort
to force publication of the county char
ter, has been decided upon and it is the
best way of solving difficult problem.
1t might eliminate the necessity OF an
other freeholders election with all its IN
cidental disadvantages, if the decision
of the courts DEGREES that publication
will be legal.
There is no disposition here to pre-
sumo upon or anticipate the decision OF
the court, but this must of necessity give
consideration to the expressed will OF
the people, which directed that the
charter should be placed before them
for action. Failure to do this rests with
the board of supervisors, and the incon-
venience and expense of the court trial
is their responsibility.

augural will be Cheerful. The old

'Hayi' and Fish hook' so loudly?"
Carpet looked up in a tree and
there he saw a bird with bright
blue feathers. 1t was this bird sit

head from side to side, who was
doing the shouting.
"Oh! you're noisy Jay, 1 can

you make SO much noise?"
THAT is a way we Jays have,
answered the bird. I'VE must al
