We notice the advent of every individual as he seeks his new hold on litb and business, about as one watches the convalescence of a relative or a dear friend who has been very ill.

Here it was the case of so many struck financially, physically or or all three perhaps, that one long associated with the old scenes and faces, watches the ad vent of tfee new with the keenest interest.

High and low, rich and poor believe in him.

Getting back to lighter matters. I was out at the Chutes the other night and saw a clean vaudeville show that was refreshing and entertianing. Heard some delightful music and enjoyed some excellent dancing. In matters social the decorative scheme and the preparation of refreshments is very simple now and is generally placed in the hands of professionals the cost is so little more, and you escape nearly all anxiety and work. I went to Santa Oruz' to visit friends during the Native Son's celebration.

There was a mistake in my ticket that made me a wanderer on the face of the earth that night as I shall not soon forget.

From one who oboe was ONE OP YOU. High School Items School opened September 10 with a good attendance. The following Monday one hundred and tbirty-one pupils were enrolled, eighty-one girls and fifty boys. Everything points to a very successful term. Each pupil seems to be interested in his work and takes an active part in the school exercises.

It can be easily seen that the extra weeks of vacation were a benefit to the school body, for the following are the sums made by the various classes in the hopfields: Seniors, 8145.54 juniors, S782.45; sophmores freshmen, S307.46, resulting in a total of S1932.83, The boys are earnestly training for the S. M. A. A L. field day, which will.be held the 13 or 20 of October, according to the date of the A.A L.

Baling is now almost completed and a few days will see the season's crop all baled and ready for market.

The crop was exceedingly large in this county and the quality is also good. There was paid out to pickers over 875,000, and everyone seems to have a little "pin money." The high school pupils made over S2000 during the three weeks they were in the field, which will all come in handy when new books havo to be purchased. The output in this county is estimated at about 12,000 bales. Quite a big portion of the crop has been engaged at 10 and 11 cents" The outlook now is not so good for high prices as it was some two weeks ago and growers will doubtless take 16 and 17 cents if it is offered.
