FOR The THRILL OF IT

The weakest alibi yet voiced was hat
advanced by actress Patricia CarOn IN
Los Angeles court when she sought pro-
baton on a narcotics charge conviction
by contending she became an associate
of underworld characters for the thrill
of it,
Yet it is an alibi too often advanced,
both in courts and by young offenders
and the parents of Young offenders who
get into trouble.
They might as well say they got into
trouble because they were Weak-Wllled,
weak minded or Just naturally SuD-nor-
NAL in the matter of intelligence
1t doesn't take any particular special
ability to turn criminal. It doesn't take
any extraordinary bravery. Crime is a
towards escape from circumstances
What thrill is there in cOWardicc? What
fun is there in doing something the mer-
est moron, one step removed from an
insane asylum, can do?
Let US teach our youngsters that the
real thrills lie in accomplishment, that
the only real satisfaction is 10 be found
in overcoming obstacles, that the intel
Iigent person is one who fights unplcaS-
ant circumstances instead Of giving in to
them.

Among
Our Yesterdays

Mark Rose had q lot to say on
this day 20 years ago. The occasion
was election of a member of the
Imperial Irrigation District board,
for Which he was Il candidate.
II shall do everything in my power
to bring about the construction of
the All American canal" he said.
That is undoubtedly the will of
the people. As To the cost of the
canal, there is q great deal 10 be
said, but there are few points to
which I will call your attention:
The All American canal would
be self-sustainin9 from the very
start and Would not cost the farmers
a cent. as there will be developed
when running at maximum over
10000 water horsepower and at its
low use over 10000 Ii you take the
minimum power and sell il at 500
per horsepower per annum. which
is very low rate. it would bring
a revenue of S3000.0Oo per year,
which in about Is years would pay
for the canal entirely, principal
and interest.
AT tie end of that time ii would
leave the Imperial Valley with pow
er assets worth $75.00OO00 at least
and with an annual income that
would pay every dollar Of expenses
of operating our entire water syS-
TEN and allow farmers of the valley
TO receive free water.
The cost of the canal per aero
is about one years rent per acre
III tho Imperial Valley. That lhc
price ol lands IN tho Yuma and
salt River valleys arc more than
G0ublc that of Imperial Valley, not
Withstanding the fact that govern
ment records show We produced
$40 per acre more in 1918 than
either of the others.

The publicity attracted the atten-

years in order to transfer into her
possession a fortune of one hundred

has the money in hand, invested one
hundred thousand in an annuity and
retained the twelve thousand to buy
ice cream cones and such other deli

DISPENSARY PROFITS OF
INTEREST TO TAXPAYERS

By reference to a report of the
Liquor Control Board, published in
today's issue of the Democrat, it
can be learned that Pocomoke City re-
ceived sum in excess of $1,000 from
the profits of the dispensary sales.
It may be of interest to the taxpay-
ers of Pocomoke to know that, in the
past three years, the total indebted
ness on the Municipal Building has
been reduced to $1,000 Of course, it
is evident that with the maintenance
of a profit such as accrued in the
past, the building will be paid for in
one more year
