All mandolinists-of the George
Ade Fables era-take secret PRIDE
in the international success OF the
peppery Dave Apollon. He has
plink-planked his way to high ia

as from coast to coast in America.
And has revived an instrument
that was as extinct as the dodo.

teachers who have scratched the
mandolin from their curriculum
restore it. Apollon, Russian born, is
not only master of the mandolin,
but in many ways is about the
most versatile 'piff-awmer' sur
viving vaudeville's evaporation.
The mandolin mania struck our
town in the early 1900's. Ed Wo-
meldorff, hardware clerk and the
only mandolinist, became Prof.
Womeldorf with evening classes in
a studio in the Lupton Block. So
cial status was established by the
number of ribs or mother of pearl
frets in a mandolin. Almost every
girl suffered a lovelorn mandolin
trio under her bedroom window
each moonlight night. And then
George Ade turned out that jubi-
liant fable about Eustace and his
mandolin-and every nandoliniSt
felt suddenly sissified. The art was
drowned in a back-Wash of giggleS.
Incidentally, the bicycle has
never been so evident since it went

HULSE FULLY QUALIFIED

While we don't know the business OF
other members of the state senate, it is
doubtful if there is anyone among its
membership more competent to reply as
2 dirt farmer to the slur cast on the
rural senators by Senator Olson, than
Senator Ben Hulse of Imperial county
In a speech to the senate Olson de-
clared that the interests Of the farmers
are not represented by senators from
the rural districts, with very few eX-
eeptions, mentioning Senators Garrison
of Stanislaus county, and JespersOn of
San Luis Obispo county Senators from
the other agricultural DISTRICTS Olson
said. represent for the most part the
financial and commercial interests, not
the farmer. They are bankers, busi-
nessmen. attorneys and publishers.
Hulse could qualify for the title of
businessman for he is businessman
and a successful one. But ne was born
on farm, raised on a farm and has been
a successful farmer, due in great meas
ure to his familiarity with farm prob
lens gained by his experience at the bus
mess end of plow.
Even the commercial activity which
qualities him for the title of business
man depends upon farmers and farm
ing for its success, businessmen not as
yet having decided to use tractors IN
stead of automobiles, for business or
pleasure.
Imperial county is purely and simply
an agricultural community. Hulse is its
first senator elected from this county.
1t is therefore necessary to go to the as
sembly to find out what Imperial cOun-
ty has been doing in the line of repre-
sentation at Sacramento. 1t has dirt
farmer" there now, in Clarence Walker,
fine running mate for Hulse, who had to
be taken almost forcibly from the pillow
and made to run for office. Preceding
him were Sam Robinson, A. c. Finney,
George H Davis-all dirt farmers" and
in between Robinson and Finney, the
late Myron D. Witter, publisher, but as
good a friend of the farmers as they
ever had.
Imperial county being a dirt farm
ing" country, demands and gets dirt
farmer" representation at the capital.
If it didn't, the incumbents would face
a recall quicker than Senator Olson can
say scat" We can hold Hulse and
Walker UP as dirt farmers and chal-
lenge any county in the state to beat
them.

mains in office as asSess0r-cOllector and
F. H. McIver as treasurer. at least un-
til such time as qualified successors are
elected in case it is decided to hold an
other election.
Status of Charles Morrow, elected di-
rector from the Brawley division, is also
affected by the decision. If there was
no election-and that Is what the courts
decision declares-Al kalin is still the
legal director from the Brawley division
and his resignation would probably be in
order before Morrow could be seated
The situation is different in the case of

egory as Miss Barry and Mclver, hold
ing over his office until his successor Is

There was victory and defeat for both
sides in the controversy but until the
supreme court had rendered its decision
there are really no vietors and none de-
feated.
1t is to be hoped that the supreme
courts decision, whatever it is, will be
