J. D. Adams appeared before
the board to present the latest de-
yelopments in the efforts of him
self and his associates to obtain
farm land financing in the county.
No action was taken by the
directors on the matter nor was
any asked at this time by Adams,
who wished to wait until answers
have been had from Albert S. GosS,
land bank commissioner; Willard
d. Ellis. general agent fer the
farm credit administration and
Senator William Gibbs McAdOo,
whose aid he is seeking.
Adams stated his belief that
an appeal to President Roosevelt
fer a public hearing on the matter
might be necessary outlining the
organization needed to obtain it.
He read a letter outline from
Charles Parker, president of the
Berkeley land bans III which Par
ker stated that loans are not be-
ing made by the bank to irriga-
ton districts in default and that

drainage problem of the Imperial

should have purpose, and that
purpose should be peace, according
to Miss Dorothy Mcconnell, direct
or Of the Women's Committee of the
American League Against War and
Fascism. In her opinion there is
no more practical way to honor
mothers than to give them a spec
ial opportunity to resist the coming
Of war which more than any other
force in modern life thwarts
motherhood.
Last year the Women's Interna-
tional League for Peace and Free
dom Of New York stressed the l.
dea that Mothers Day should be
changed to Women Peace Day.
Through the efforts Of that Or
ganization and the American and
Canadian Leagues Against War
and Fascism, the movement Is
spreading out over the entire con-
tinent. Ministers were urged to
give this day, new meaning by
including the new conception In
their Mothers Day Sermons.

hotel, waiting for her husband,
who had gone into the hotel

TO admire flowers In the shop

preached the hotel entrance,
he cOlllded violently with q

the two men followed and
blows passed. The white man
was knocked TO the pavement
and fatally injured. A crowd
quickly gathered. The Negro
fled and the mob followed,

Ans: l don't believe that you
will receive either anytime within
the near future for he Is not in
terested in getting a DIVORCE and
he isn't going to part with one
dine of this money. You must find
job and learn to support your
self.
NJ. C.. X.-ShOuld 1 enter the con-

sure from the BEAUTY CONTEST
that you have in mind to enter
and there will be many beautiful
prizes given away to its contest
ants 1t might be well for you TO
practice walking gracefully as this
is an important factor in con-
test of this nature.
b. II. S.-Please tell me what Is
wrong with my wife?
Ans: She can't possibly be
HAPPY living In the house with
your people when they try TO chow
up her ignorance of not knowing
how to cook and do house work.
You must remember that she did
not have to do this kind OF work
before you married her and you
should see to it that your sisters be
patient and kind to her and she
will get over her unhappiness.
l.. ID. F.-ShOuld try to go to see
my sitter graduate from Medical
College this spring?
Ans: Nothing would give her
more pleasure than to have you
there for you will be her only rel
alive to help share her happiness
This has been long grind for her
and let her known how much you
admire her ambition.

Ans: He is only trying to make
you angry with him for he Is now
interested in another girl and
doesn't want OF continue the friend

mean anything to one another. 40

A. Why cousin died several
weeks ago and 1 want to know Ii
she left anything 10 met can't
believe that she did not for she
had plenty?
Ans l don't believe that your
cousin made a WILL and it seems
to me that her husband and SON
will inherit her estate. l believe
however that you will get some of
her personal belongings but l can
not contact you receiving any sum
of money or property from this
source.
+. D.-DO you think / should
marry the man that | have In mind
or go back TO my ex-husband!
Ans: AS long as your mind
stays as unsettled as it appears to
be at this writing it would be
good idea for you not to make any
change whatever. III you cared
very much for your ex-husband you
would not be going with another
man and if you cared for the other
man you wouldn't think Of your
eX-husband.
X. Il. H.-DO you think that l
should apply for a school for this
coming year!
Ans: Not unless you make some
arrangements for someone to STAY
with you MOTHER. She has been
in such poor health for the past
year that you should not leave her
alone.
IL. l.. HI am so very worried
about my husband and l don't know
how to go about doing something
for him. Please help me!
Ans Have your FAMILY PLY
SICEAN call on your husband as
an unexpected social call so that
your husband will not get suspi-
cious and he will be able to de-
termine if his mind Is effected.
Your husband won't consent to go
to a doctor unless he is approach
ed in this manner or in some other
way of this nature.
=. j. J.-What happened to my
book!
Ans: 1t seems to me that you
lost your LITERATURE BOOK.
You will probably have to do with
out your book until the end of
school or buy another for it seems
to me you won't come into possess
sion of this one.
p. DIS It dangerous for me to
slip out with this boy friend Of
mine as my parents won't let any
one visit me?
Ans: 1t is indeed if they find
it out. You will enjoy yourself
much more if you give up the idea
of boy friend until school is out
for if your parents get wise to your
game they will take all your pri-
vilcges away from you for the sum-
mer. The boy that you are going
with is not worth the chance that
you are taking.
Il. J. L.-Will my husband ever
change?
Ans: Yes and he will realize
one of these days that he is not
