WASHINGTON, June 8. U.P) -
The DAYS have become warm and
humid in Washington and the
weather Is having its effect on con-
gress. Orators are pouring forth
their words to more than the usual
number of empty seats and 1t
takes longer than usual to fill the
chambers for a vote or quorum
call.
Members of congress come into
the chambers TO make the speeches
they must make for or against their
favorite measures, but few remain
once their speeches are made. Ihe
party floor leaders, the committee
chairmen in charge Of the bill which
happens TO be under consideration
and few who have special interest
make I'D the attendance.
The string of long sessions is tell
ing on the floor leaders. Senator
McNary of Oregon, the assistant
Republican leader who does most
of the active work in the senate
chamber for his party, seemed par
ticularly tired the other day when
the senate was debating the federal
pay cut. He has lost weight and
plainly is ready for rest. Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo-
cratic leader, shows less strain.

PROTECTING THE DAIRYMAN

ACTION of the supervisors in placing
n a license tax on the sale of butter
substitutes in the rural sections of the
county, will meet with general approx
al among those who recognize the fact
that Imperial Valley owes the fullest
support to its dairying industry.
Figures presented by dairymen to the
supervisors yesterday in support of their
plea for such license, stated that IN
1880 there were $4,000 pounds of butter
substitutes sold in this county, figures
for 1881 not being available.
AT the prices prevailing for butter two
years ago, this would represent around
S25, 900 that was taken from the pockets
of Imperial Valley dairymen-a sizeable
sum at any time.
The proposed license tax would be
effective at present only in the rural
areas under the jurisdiction of the coun-
ty government. It does not effect cities,
where, as the dairymen pointed out,
there is the heaviest sale of butter sub
stitutes. Until these areas are also III
cluded, the ordinance will not be fully
effective.
With every sympathy for the dairy
man in his fight to protect himself, it
IluSl I6NeIlIlGieSS DS JOlHl6u Out lIldI
people in the rural communities are us
ing butter ubstitutes-perhaps more so
than those in the cities. There have been
cases were dairymen have purchased sub
stitutes in city stores either for their own
use or for use of those employed by
them.
1t would seem that there is real need
for missionary work by the dalrymen
in their own communities to educate the
people to the use of butter and to dis
courage the use of substitutes. The
dairymen have every argument on their
side and should make the fullest use OF
them.
Recent campaigns conducted by the
chamber of commerce and other organi-
cations have helped to increase the use
of dairy products. Such work must be
kept up and brought to the attention of
every resident of the valley if the dairy
industry is to have the full support of
the people whom it helps to support.
There doesn't seem to be anything
chilly about the revolt in Chile.

said the rabbit. But little he knew
what was going to happen.
The remainder of that day the
June Bug remained very quietly
in his box on the mantel. In fact
he was SO quiet that Uncle Wig
gily forgot all about him and he
did not even speak of the June
! Bug or show him to the rabbit chill
dren when they hoped home from
school.
But in the evening after supper
when the lights were set agloW in
the bungalow all Of sudden there
was loud, buzzing sound and down
zoomed the big June Bug. He
bumped Nurse Jane on her nose.
oh Obi" squealed the musk
| rat lady housekeeper.
Excuse mel" buzzed the June
Bog. THE light blinded me!' Then
he zoomed around some more and
banged into Mrs. Longears.
"Oh, take him away! Take him
aWay" screamed the rabbit lady
His legs are all tangled in my
fur"
June Bug, you shouldn't dc
that!" said Uncle Wiggily, reach
ing over to take the creature Out
of the fur of Mrs. Longears
Whats the idea? 1 thought you
wanted to buzz around a light"
so I do" said the June Bug
zooming now toward Baby Bunty
But I forgot to tell you thai
though I love bright lights I CAM
see when 1 get near one SO I cant
tell where am going. I'm sorry
but it has always been that way'
Then the June Bug tipped around
and hit first Jingle and ther
Jangle on their pink noses and tbs
twin rabbits cried: "Oh! OH"
"Wiggy, you'll have to do some
thing about this June Bug" CRIED
Mrs. Longears. Hes banging ntc
everybody. Oh, here he is at me
againl Oh, he's in my ear! Squeel
Squee! Squee!"
I'll put out the light" said
Nurse Jane and she did, making
the bungalow dark. Then the
June Bug managed to zoom into
his box. But Mrs. Longears said
her husband would have to take
the bug away. And what happened
next you shall hear tomorrow
night when the story will be about
Uncle Wiggily's lightning bug And
hope the wash rag doesn't take
bite out of the cake of soap only
TO feel sorry for itself afterward.

INSULL BROKE

UAD any of us common mortals had a
III chance three years ago to swap places
with Samuel insult, we would have
jumped at the chance.
Head of the gigantic electrical power
combination which controlled millions of
dollars worth of public utility industries
throughout the midwest, he was looked
upon as one of the outstanding indus
trial giants and financierS of the nation.
The sort the cartoonists depict sitting
at a massive desk equipped with rows
of buttons by which lesser mortals are
summoned to do their bidding.
A word or nod from insult could
make or break business concerns with
millions of dollars in capital. He was
a veritabe business colossus.
Yesterday insult stepped down from
his exalted pedestal, and is admitted to
be flat broke. With the exception of
small estate in England, from whence he
came at the suggestion of Thomas A.
Edison to join him in the exploitation
of the infant electrical industry, and
nominal pension granted him by the
companies he built up during his life,
he is without any of the SlO0,00O,0O0 per-
sonal fortune he is reported to have ac-
cumulated.
This was wiped away in his efforts
to save his holdings for the protection of
his stockholders. He poured his money
into the breach made when the securi-
ties market collapsed, but without avail.
In this insult set an example that can
bring forth nothing but praise. He is
broke" but he is broke" hcnorably, and
that is more than many of our former
captains of industry can say.
insults fate is a startling reminder
of the false values of wealth. There is
little satisfaction in accommodating vast
wealth only to have it disappear like
snow before the heat of the sun. Wealth
is tickle. Honor is everlasting. insult
is fortunate in that real wealth is his for
all time.

Nothing, just now" answered
the Bug. But when it comes night
| I am going to buzz around and look
/ for a light"
What sort of a light?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
/ "Oh, any kind of a light was
the answer. You know, we June
Bugs love to buzz around a light.
/ We don't like flying in the dark.
But the woods here have been very
dark the last few nights. I couldn't
| find any light to buzz around, not
even a FREELY or lightning bug.
And I do, SO much, want to buzz
around a light. That's what all
June Bugs must do"
We'll, it's too bad if you can't
find light to buzz around, said
Mr.. Longears. How would you
like to come to my hollow stump
bungalow and buzz?"
Have you any light there,
Uncle Wiggily?"
There will be some lights after
dark" answered the rabbit.
Then I'll come with you and
buzz" said the June Bog. And
thanks, whole lot, just heaps
and heaps, for being so kind TO
me-"
"All right Come along!' invited
the rabbit. I'll make a little box
out of birch bark to carry you in,
as. if I put you in my pocket with
out box you might get hurt"
So the rabbit put the June Bug
in a cute little bark box and started
hopping home with him. Now If
Uncle Wiggily had known what
was going to happen about this
June Bug perhaps he wouldn't have
taken the little, brown, crawling
chap home. But he did
What have you there, Wiggy?"
asked the rabbits wife as she saw
him take the birch bark box out
Of his pocket.
"A June Bug" was the answer
Il found the poor fellow in the
woods and brought him home. He
wants to buzz about light and he
can't find one in the forest, not
even a lightning bug. But well
have a light this evening"

has been done in the past, and
thereby make the work more val
liable to the newspapers and the
various communities, is the pur-
pose for conducting the news writ
ing institute, to be held in Ell Gen.

kept together and in seclusion dur
ing the time of their selection for
| the trial of the cases until they
have completed their deliberations,
and,
Whereas, the accommodations
for such jurors in the county court
house are at present totally in
adequate and unsuitable for the
convenience of said jurieS, now
therefore:
BE it resolved that, consider
ing the best interests of the people
of the county Of Imperial, as well
as an adequate economic measure,
the Imperial county grand jury do
unanimously recommend to the
honorable board of supervisors that
they make provision for the neces-
sary expenditures and order the
remodeling of at least one of the
rooms set aside for jurors in order
to provide suitable sleeping quar-
ters, and that such rooms be equip
ped with shower baths, lights, heat,
water and comfortable furnishing
(beds, bedding, chairs, etc. as pro-
vided for in section 1875, penal code
of California, 1881, and we do fur
ther herewith submit for your con-
sideration a plan whereby one of
the rooms set aside for jurors may
be remodeled."
r., The plan submitted by the grand
! jury called for use of the room
now occupied by the court inter-
prefer as women's dressing room,
the office now occupied by the pro-
baton department as a women's
sleeping room, and construction of
a mems sleeping room on the west
