CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

TICK and Sheila followed Dor
~ thy to the curb and saw her
into her car. Dorothy knew Dick
wanted to talk to Sheila alone and
did not press her invitation that
they should come with her.
After a few moments banter,
Dorothy said goodnight and the
huge limousine disappeared silently
around the corner.
Sheila watched almost wistful-
~. Was it fair that she and Eve
and Tilie and dozens Of others
had to toll for every cent they
owned when some girls had so
much and did nothing to deserve
it?
Not that Sheila begrudged Dor
othy Trevor her fortune. Nor did
she ordinarily beWail her own fate.
Tonight, however, Sheila was tired.
It seemed unfair that this other girl
should have everything in the world
to make for happiness while Sheila
herself must toll and save and sac
rifice. No, it didn't seem fair.
Standing beside Dick in the
quiet street, Sheila said none Of
these things. 1t was he who final
ly broke the silence.
would you like a taxi" he
asked "or shall we take the bus?
I don't think it will be crowded at
this hour. Wonderful car Dorothy
has, don't you think SOP"
It's marvellous" Sheila agreed.
Foreign, isn't it? I've never seen
one like it."
Dick told her the car bore a
French trade name and was ex-
tremely expensive.
"The whole family thinks it's
shocking the way that kid spends
money" he went on. But after all,
it's hers. I guess she has the right
I'd do as she pleases with it."
They started walking slowly to-
ward Fifth avenue. The street was
almost deserted except for q few
pedestrians. Now and then a taxi
cab rolled past and in the distance
a numbering bus was disappearing.
Does Dorothy have lots Of
money!" Sheila asked. Il know
she's considered one Of Henri's best
customers"
TICK nodded. "Oh, yes, she has
~ money, all right. More than
she can spend. It's all in her own
name, too. Her father was Warren
Trevor. Maybe you've heard of him.
Built up an enormous fortune on
Wall Street and died while he was
still comparatively young. He left
the entire fortune to Dorothy"
"She doesn't seem bit Of a
snob," unused Sheila.
"Oh, she's not" Dick spoke
Loyalty. His cousin, for all their
playful quarrelling during the eve
ming, occupied a warm spot in his
heart.
"She isn't in the least bit snob-
biSh. Why should she be? She's
always had money and doesn't think
anything about it. Dorothy's a little
thoroughbred"
well, I like her." Sheila agreed
She's different from any one I've
ever met and I like the way she does
things. She's pretty, too. Money
hasn't spoiled her"
They boarded bus and presently
were Skirting the north boundary of
Central park. The little pond on
which sailors continue their aquatic
propensities while on shore leave
twinkled back at them. Here and
there a tiny rowboat rocked on the
ripping water.

LOT OF LOCAL POLICEMAN Is
NOT A ROUND OF HARMONY

THE life of a policeman! Why,
fella, it's a cinch. There's no crime
to speak of here, and outside of ar
resting a few buns once in a while,
handing. out few traffic tickets
and keeping a general watch on the
public safety, it's cinch," said
the reporter
"Oh, yeah? Well, get a load of
this" replied the policeman, and
offered the following, which is tax

local police officers this morning,
covering yesterdays activities.
Two Mexican boys, one Is and
the other 10 years of age were
brought in to headquarters for in
vestigation, finally TO be turned
over to the county probation Of
ficer. to be returned to their par
ents. The two, riding on one BIZ
cycle, had left their home in Clare
mont and were enroute to Mex
leo City TO visit an uncle. The
wheel had a few pieces of bedding
strapped to it and a water can was
tied on the back.
Then came a call to investigate
the activities of a prowler in the
residential section. Sleepers were
moved out of the city park and
emEty cars eAnd pla Sorms were
also rid of unwelcome guests. Fur
thermore a continual patrol of all
streets and alleys was kept up.
An urgent call was phoned in
asking for an officer to come over
to the east side Immediately and
assist in the collection of $40
loan. The policeman obeyed the call
and although he stood by while the
transaction was satisfactorily COM
pleted, he did not interfere.
Another officer had to investigate

Could an officer come over and
investigate a man who failed to
pay his board bill? 1t mattered lit
tie that just a meagre description
could be gwen o. the culprit, the
police just had to find him, that
was all.
An accident in which two auto

JOBS DESIRED
FOR MEN WHO
RESIDE HERE

Residents of Ell Centre who wish
to procure men to work for few
hours, are asked to telephone Mrs.
Mae Sherry Winans at 85 any time
between 8 a. m. and noon and men
will be sent Immediately.
There are several heads of fam
lilies who have lived in Imperial
county for more than two years
but on account of not having lived
here the required three years, are
unable to secure work under the
R. F. c.
These men wish to do work of
any kind to pay for their groceries
during the next few weeks Some
of them could obtain credit at local
stores but dislike having their bills
mount when they have no work,
Mrs. Winans said.
Produce and businessmen who
have been in the habit of calling
Captain w. N. Cunningham for
men, are asked to telephone Mrs.
Winans during Cunningham S alb
SERGE from the valley. Several
men are available each day and are
glad to do work of any kind for
even few hours.

Winans said today, is the son of a
woman who had q business here

valley girl, soon will need medical
treatment. He will NOV lawns or
clean about the home or do work
of any kind. He was out of the

COTTON MEN
URGED TO ACT
IMMEDIATELY

The opportunity for cotton grow
ers to accept the government pro-
poSal TO reduce cotton acreage must
be exercised Immediately or not at
all, according to a statement by
Frank Bevschlag. farm advisor. He
states that the ruling from the agri-
cultural adjustment administration
is that cotton contracts will not
be accepted after Saturday, July
8, 1893.
An Imperial Valley cotton grow
ers' committee consisting of Chas.
w Anderson, CaleXico; Roy E.
johnson, Imperial; and A. H.
Ross, Seeley, is now actively en-
gagged in explaining the plan to
growers and securing the sigma
lures of those desiring to sign.
! Cotton growers who are not in
formed regarding the plan are ad-
viSed to see one of these men. A
similar committee is functioning i'll
the Bard district. The committees
will turn in to the farm advisor on
| Saturday only those contracts
which are completely signed by both
the growers and the lien holders
| concerned.
1t is stated by C. A. Cobb, cotton
| administrator at Washington, d. c.,
that the plan offers growers the
! opportunity voluntarily to reduce
| the cotton surplus if they desire
to do so. Official figures show that
the cotton carryover from last
year at 1852, 900 bales is the largest
on record. Total supplies of 49,
| 409, 900 bales have been exceeded in
only one year. 1t is pointed out
| by Henry A. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture, that the normal pro-
duction from the 100000 acres
planted this year by u. S. cotton
! growers, in addition to the BURDEN
some surplus may bring disastrous
cotton prices. The proposed plan
gives the growers a chance to re-
duce this acreage by 100000 or
25 per cent.
The government will cooperate
with those growers who desire to
reduce acreage by compenSating
them for their reduction. Com
penSation funds will be derived at
the outset by direct appropriation
and later by processing tax to be
! levied upon cotton.
