A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Aftermath of Storm.

Aftermath of Storm.
A wonderful smell of wet grasses and
earth.
With every place christened by rains to
new birth,
TIE trees shedding splashes refreshing
sweet,
The sod cool and spongy to town-tired
feet.
All day in the heat the world seemed out
of joint,
Each effort abortive, obtuse, without
point;
At dusk came the storm, sweeping bore
dom away,
And now this renascence-this breath Of
new hay.
The scent of white clover renewed by
the rain,
The succulent odor Of freshly wet grain;
A rift In the clouds-rosy skies-sunset
glow
And stretching from Heaven to earth
q rainbow.

Shooting Stars.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The PedagOgic Urge.


We need instruction all the time.
More teachers are called in
To show folks how to deal with crime
And minor forms of sin.
We need more teachers who will tell
The gals what charms to show
And how to treat their husbands well
And how to catch beau.
We need professors more and more
To teach the farmer gay
To shake a shoe when he's in town
And Joy is on display.
In humor we need master strokes.
guess my head I'll bow
And start school for writin' jokes
That others may learn how.

Several Democratic Governors have
made unfavorable remarks about Gov

incident should arouse the sympathetic
interest of Mr.. Sirovich, who has ex-
pressed candid resentment of the un-
feeling comment by professional critics
on sincere piece of literary work.

A Kansas cyclone is thrilling, but Gov

it in campaign methods. Some well-dis-

the sunshine of hope make more PROM

Harry W.O. Whitsell Friday.
The adjourned hearing that be.
gan Wednesday morning swept to
a dramatic close Thursday after
noon when Chief Counsel Harry
w Horton of the irrigation dis
trcit challenged the motives of
the power company in offering to
enter negotiations with the dis
trict for joint operation of power
distributing system in Imperial
Valley.
The most complete picture of
the All American power contro-
versy ever written into one record
went into that OF the railroad
commission hearing, a fact which
made it probable that it will be d
long while before Commissioner
Whitsell hands down his decision
The hearing began late in Januty
of this year, and after several
days was adjourned to this month.
The districts case was presented
in the early sessions, the power
company's in the last two days.
Permission Asked
Commissioner WhltSell was ask
ed by the power company to grant
permission to the company tor a
rural electrification experiment in
a selected rural area of Imperial
county, involving construction OF
235 miles of transmission lines
passing $50 rural residences from
the Mexican border to INLAND. The
company estimates that 700 OF
these residences would be connect
ed TO the lines.
Permission was granted by the
commission after a brief private
hearing last year, but rescinded
alter protests by the irrigation
district. the county of Imperial, the
county farm bureau and other
organizations. The three mem
toned were active in opposition
TO the proposal at the hearing.
Opposition is based on the theory
that, once granted permission to
construct the proposed rural sys-
tenn, the Southern SierraS Power
company will be in a position to
serve the thickly populated rural
sections, leaving only the thinly
areas in which the IL
rigation district may begin on an
even footing TO serve electricity

A telegram from the Guate-

Guatemala's decision was be-

Guatemala applied few of the
anti-Italian sanctions voted ty

ther, she has taken the lead
