FACTORY DITTEBRANT AUTOMOBILE GO. SUMMERVILLE W. J. Church was last night elect ed secretary of the irrigation com pany during a meeting of the direc tors, President Walter M. Pierce pre siding. It was decided to take the mat ter of "District Irrigation" up with the ( people who are to be interested And ascertain - their faith in the sceme The old individual corporation plan will be abandoned If possible and the new directorate will follow out the plan advanced by President Pierce, and outlined In the Observer a few days ago. One of the most concise statements of what the district Irrigation scheme is. Is set out in "Ir rigation Bonds," a publication deal ing with bonds and finance. " How District Plan Works Muicipal Irrigation District Bonds rm Irrigation bond lannari hv organ ized districts very similar, to school districts, for. the, purpose of purchas ing or constructing Irrigation sys tems for their own use.' The bond Issue must be approved by a major ity of the resident free holders In the district who have paid taxes the pre ceding year. The procedure Is qultf similar to that of a school district if suing, bonds to construct a, school house or a municipality, issuing" the bonds to purchase or construct a city water plant. The bonds then be come a municipal obligation, consti tuting a first lien on all town and farm properties Included in' the dis trict. . ' .- ''The Interest on the bonds and the maturing bonds, are paid through the County Treasurer's office by a tax levied in the regular way. , ThiB tax Is , usually , levied for about 15 per cent in excess of requirements so as to provide for a possible delin quencies. The value of such bonds as with all municipal securities, de pends on the population of the dis trict and on the value of the prop erty subject to tax Hen. Many of them belong among the highest grade of municipal securities. i urn af , New Houiea. '. According to insurance statistics.

Let's get right on this Jeffries-Johnson affair. The way to do. this is, Jo peruse the ulti- macum or one samuei iangrora, , who plays the role of general reducer of fight championship aspirations. Samuel recently is sued a statement ' Iff" which he offered to fight anybody .In the world, with the sole exception of James J. Jeffries. "That Mlstah Jeff he ain't no man; he's Just a big train, and ' he's going to run over ennybody 't tries to hoi him back," said Langford when asked about the matter. ' . , s .- 'But v how , about Johnson? was the query to him. "Honey, he's Jest mah meal ticket If I can get that big moke In front of me I'll knock him clear out of the moving pic tures. Yas, suh, I will. I know, 'cause I met him once." If there Is any better line on the matter than this it has yet , to be dqg up. Langford's un : conscious tip on the big mill Is surely not biased.

Out Jumped Tommy Lostest OW, children," said daddy, -rm going to tell yen a little scare tale. bat don't get frightened, because It will end all right. It's bout Tommy Lostcat Mr. McFudge's folks had a big black cat that was very cute. . He could do all sorts or tricks. 'and he knew how to tell the time of day. Anyhow, he always knew exactly when mealtime came,' Just as Jack does. Tommy ran around a great deal, but he always got back home Just In time for dinner, and the folks always fed him from a plate on the floor. - . . '.' ' J : ;..-y . "Well, one day Tommy didn't come home to dinner, and all the folks won dered where he was. Tm sure he's been runhed over and killed by a norto tnobeel,' said the littlest girl, who loved Tommy very much. 'He must be a dead cat,' said Mr. McFudge, 'or he'd never stay away at dinner time. "Just then, while all the family was beginning to eat dinner and was feel ing mighty sad about Tommy, there was a weak cat wall from somewhere, though nobody could see a cat Meouwr it Bald, and then after a little while It said 'Meouw' louder, then still louder, and then the cat voice got weak again, till they didn't hear It at all. : i . , "The folks looked at each other and wondered where the cat voice came from. 1 know said the McFudge boy Tommy's dead, and that's his ghost voice.' That night at supper time the family heard the cat voice again. First It sounded awful loud and seemed to be very close. After a little while it sounded low, as If It was away off aomewhere. ' j . "They looked everywhere, but couldn't find any cat Next morning whent they sat down to breakfast they heard the same cat voice. Now it seemed to be right over their heads, and then It would come from some place near the sideboard. Mr. McFudge moved the sideboard, but no cat was behind it. "'Well,' he said, 'If Tommy's a dead rat Meouw-wow-wowr said the voice, real sudden and loud, and Mr, McFudge jumyru Ui uu Buiu to urn son, -et me the hatchet and saw 'What are you going to do, par asked Mrs. McFudge. I'm going to cut a hole in the wall, so Tommy Lostcat can get out I think he's gone down to the cellar and climbed up between the planks and the plaster and couldn't get out . ' "So he cut a hole In the wall near where they last heard the cat's voice, and out Jumped Tommy Lostcat very thin and scared looking, but ready for his breakfast. ; He had been climbing around Inside the hollow wall." - With 'Knowledge of La Worn , ra'AUN fOWLER.
