J. Walter Coles had a thrilling ex-
perience the other evening that will
reraalu fresh in his memory for a lung
time. He was sitting on the front
porch at his home and his pipe had
gone out. Like most men who enjoy
a good smoke, he wanted to have anoth-
er smoke dream, so he started to go
Into the house to get a match. As
he got up lie felt something prick his
Jog, and to use Walter’s own words,
"I did not care If I was on the front
porch, 1 got out Of my clothes mighty
quick.” He found a 9-lneh centipede
which did not look ft bit good to Wal-
ter. Remembering that baking soda
is said to be good for such stings,
he tied a two-pound package to the
part where the centipede had stung
him and drove to town to consult a
doctor, who quieted his fears. Now
Walter says, "do you think that I
will sit out there any more? No,
sir. never again.
Williapi L. Rockwell, irrigation' ex-
pert from the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, is in Ysleta again
and all who have been so fortunate
ns to meet Mr. Rockwell are very
glad to see him. Mr. Rockwell says
he will be in the valley some time to
study and instruct in the handling of
water for irrigation.
