DELUGE OF BEEF is
ON THE WAY TO u. S.

New York, Dec. 22-What will be
the largest consignment of meat ever
shipped to this country will arrive
here tomorrow aboard the Elstree
Grange from the Argentine republic.
1t will be a total of 1900 tons, or
100000 pounds.
This will be the beginning Of the
concerted effort that is to be made
to invade the American market with
practically unlimited supplies of
dressed beef, mutton and lamb by
the largest independent Argentine
meat concerns.
Every pound of the big incoming
cargo has already been sold to butch
ers in this city, Boston and Phila-
delphia. The shipment was intended
as an experiment and if it proves
satisfactory it is the intention of the
Argentine concern to establish regu-
lar meat shipping service between
American ports and the Argentine Re-
public, at least two or three ship
ments arriving here each month.
Twenty consignees will receive the
beef and mutton, which is being
brought in on board the Elstree
Orange, a British steamship taken
from the Argentine company's Euro
pean shipping service to supply the
American trade.

Week Old Baby
Left on Porch

A baby a week old was abandoned
about 6 on the porch of the house
of U. S. Handley, miYe scath and
east of Seeley, by some unknown per-
son. To make sure the baby would be
found promptly, a gun was fired, the
person then running.
Probation Officer A. w. Swanson
was notified and has taken the baby
into his family until some provision
can be made for it's care.
Footprints showed that it was a
woman who left the baby, though her
identity has not yet been discovered
by the authorities.
Mrs. Handley and two girls were
alone in the house at the time, and
were attracted by the shot.
Mrs. Swanson went after the baby
by automobile today and brought it to
the city. The child is healthy look
ing boy. with light hair, and looks as
though he could make his way in the
world.

Bernice to Have
Telephone Service

The Imperial Telephone Company
will begin the construction of a tele-
phone line to Bernice within the next
few days. F. D. Allen reports that the
material is already on the ground and
that work on the new line will be
started next week or not later than
the week following.
There is a great demand for tele-
phone service in the newly opened
territory on the north and this new
line to Bernice will be gladly receiv-
ed by the people in that territory.
Mr. Allen says that the telephone COM
pany is carefully following the de-
velopment of this northern section
and will provide telephone facilities
to properly care for the need of the
community, just as rapidly as the
conditions will warrant and the bust
ness will justify.
"Our company has just recently ap-
proved an expenditure of $4,000 for
telephone improvements and extern
sions in the Imperial valley" said Mr..
Allen, Gin addition to the amount of
$65,000 which was approved for use
early this year. These items Of ex-
penditure are but indications of the
rapid growth of the Imperial valley.
and judging from present Indications
of future growth I am quite sure that
larger and more frequent expendi-
lures will be necessary in order to
keep pace with the rapidly increasing
demands for service"

Young DesperadO

(By United Press Associations
Los Angeles, Dec. 22-The police
are searching today for a possible
accomplice of Lewis Bundy, aged sew
enteen, who confessed that he beat to
death Harold Ziesche, aged fifteen,
and stole $40 to buy Christmas pres
ent for fifteen-year-old Ventura girl.
The boy claims he kst the money
while running from the scene of the
crime, but the police do not believe
him. They think an accomplice has the
money. 1t is understood several
youths are under surveillance. The
boy is held at Central police station
pending filing of a charge. Bundy's
mother is in critical condition. She
was i'll before her sons arrest and it
is feared it may have serious results.

Turkeys for Christmas

New York, Dec. 22-More than
100000 Christmas turkeys have ar
rived in New York since Monday,
over 100000 are on the way, and there
are at least 100000 in cold storage in
Manhattan and Jersey City left. over
from Thanksgiving. Many of these
100000 will be eaten by suburbanites
and commuters, but there will be
enough left, the dealers say, for Fa-
ther Knickerbocker.
AS for prices, they range at whole
sale from 21 to 27 cents a pound.
This indicates retail prices, the deal
ers say, of about % to 80 cents a
pound.
More than 100000 chickens, ducks
and geese have arrived in the last
week-over 100000 of them came
alive-not to speak of rabbits. which
are rather scarce.
Of eggs, about $4,000 cases-thirty
dozen to a case-have arrived in the
last week, of which nearly 5000 cases,
according to P. Q. Foy, came from
Europe, Russia and Austria. Some
of the Russian eggs were laid by
hens in far-off Siberia.

Big Interests Control
Water League Meeting
Held in City Saturday

ers to the Land Owners and Water
Users League. l take the liberty of
calling to their attention, and all whom
it may concern, the action of the
league at the meeting held Saturday,
December 20, in Ell Centro. 1t seems
to be the unanimous opinion of the
stockholders of Water Company No.
l present at the league meeting that
they wanted to concentrate their votes
on one candidate whom they thought
would look after their interest and al
low the other localities the same priv
ilege.
1t was mutually agreed that the
water stockholders and land owners
west of Brawley Main were entitled
to director in No. and that it was
only good business on their part to
see to it that they had some one
special director that they could depend
upon to look after their interest on the
Elder and Eucalyptus canals.
The water stockholders of No. 1,
west of the Brawley Main, will meet
Monday night, December %, at Seeley
school house to select a candidate for
director of No. l for the coming year.
The stockholders of No. 1 who are
served from canals east of Heber ask
the league to endorse w. w. Cochran
as their candidate. MIR. Cochran was
endorsed by the league. Mr.. Milton
Byal was the choice of the Mesquite
lake district representatives and was
endorsed by the league.
Mr.. T. P. Banta was the choice for
the district north of Ell Centre and was
endorsed by the league and Mr.. Sam P.
Rowe was the choice for the district
south of Ell Centre, and was endorsed
by the league.
The Land Owners and Water Users
League has not tried to dictate who
shall be the candidate for the directors
of Water Company No. 1 for the COM
ing year, but has agreed to work with
the several localities that have or
ganized to elect director.
Each district will see to it that their
candidate is elected, that their canals
may be kept in first-class shape and
the service satisfactory.
Whenever a director will not look
after that part of the canal system
from which he is elected, he is a very
poor director for the rest of the sys-
tenn. CLARK w. ADAIR,
Temporary Secretary.
The next meeting of the league will
be held in Imperial the cay before
election of Water Company No. 1.

house who voted for the bill under
stood it's fundamental principles"
This is the opinion of j. Lawrence
Laughlin, professor of political econ
omy at the University of Chicago, ex-
pressed in an address to members of
the City Club. The wonder of it, the
professor said, is that they incorpor-
ated the correct economic principle
without realizing it.
"When you look back year and
see the situation with regard to the
report of the monetary commission it
makes you believe that the day of
political miracles has not passed." he
said.
81 am willing to stake my reputa-
ton that the bill will be for good or
good for nothing, not because of the
regulation of note issues and the
quantity Of money in circulation, but
because of the organization of credit
provided for. 1t seems to me mir
acle this thing should have been in
corporated in this bill.
"No one has talked about this fea-
ture of the bill and yet it is ten times
as important as the regulation of
note issues and the amount of money
in circulation. 1t is a source of mar
vel to me that 286 men in the house
voted for this bill when there were
not ten men in the house who under
stood it's fundamental principles"
Washington, Dec. 22.-With the
currency bill in it's final stage in con-
gress, informal applications from ma
tional banks to get into the system
that will be created under it's provi-
sions began to come Saturday to Sec
retary McAdoo. Nearly a score of
such applications had been received
up to closing time and Mr.. McAdoo
is of the opinion that there will be a
greater rush this week.
Practically every request came by
telegraph. One was signed by eleven
national banks in Baltimore, another
came from Chicago, a third from Ar
kansas, one from Wisconsin, one from
Iowa, one from Virginia and others
from different states.
No reply has been made by Secre-
tary McAdoo to the applications and
no action will be taken by the treas
ury department until the bill is signed
by the president. 1t is probable, how
ever, that other things being equal,
the first application will be the first
honored, although no final distribution
has been reached. Already Secretary
McAdoo is preparing to begin work
on the vast change in the national
financial system that the new law will
entail. He practically barred his doors
to callers and had a long talk over
the bill with Charles A. Conant of
New York, an expert on finance.

Reasonable Mistrust

"Now let us try" she said, ito keep
the other passengers from discovering
that we are bride and groom"
"All right, dearest" he replied.
"How shall we deceive them?'
"Buy couple of magazines and
we will pretend to be busy reading
them and avoid noticing each other"
"That's fine idea, sweetheart. I'll
get them right away"
Twenty minutes later.
"Lovey."
"What is it, dearest?"
'You are holding your magazine
upside down."
"oh, George! If you are going to
begin being critical now how shall

have been married for five years?"--

Issues Reprimand
(By United Press Associations

(By united PreSS ASSOclatlOnS)
Washington, Dec. 22-The presi-
dent today issued memorial repri-
manding those responsible for the
program of songs and skits at the re-
cent annual dinner of the Caraboa
society. The program was satirical
of his insular policy and members of
the cabinet were ridiculed.
"The officers responsible for the
evenings program" the president
wrote in part, addressing Secretaries
Garrison and Daniels, "are certainly
deserving of very severe reprimand,
which hereby request be administer
ed, and l can not rid myself of the
feeling of great disappointment that
a general body of officers, assem-
bled at dinner, should have greeted
the carrying out of such program
with apparent indifference to the fact
that it violated some of the most dig
nified anu sacred traditions of the SER
vice. What are we to think of officers
of the army and navy who think it fun
to bring their official superiors into
ridicule and the policies of govern
ment which they are sworn to serve
with unquestioning loyalty above all
silly effervescences of childish wit?
What about their profession do they
hold sacred? My purpose in admins
tering this reprimand is to recall these
men to responsibility for this lowering
of the standard of their ideals, to re-
mind them of the high conscience
wherewith they ought to put duty
above personal indulgence, to think of
themselves as responsible men and
trusted soldiers, even while amusing
themselves as diners out

Insurance Feature
Out of the Bill
(By United Press Associations

(By United Press Associations
Washington, Dec. zz-The currency
bill was given right of way in both
houses today. Adjournment is ex-
pected with it's final passage, as Will
son is expected to sign it Immediately.
Opposition was expected in the senate
to the conferes agreement to eliminate
the senate provision for an insurance
fund to guarantee deposits in national
banks. The president is expected to
leave for Massachusetts at once for
a three-weeks vacation. While there
he will work on his special message
to congress regarding trusts.
The Republican conferes were call
ed into the joint conference committee
meeting over the currency bill and
claimed it was the first time they had
been requested to participate in franz
ing the conference bill. They were
extremely bitter. Senator Nelson said,
"It is the first time in eighteen years
minority members of conference
committee have been barred on other
than party questions. l hope to live
until the Republican party is again
restored to power. so we may give the
Democrats some of their own medi-
cine" Bristow was angry too. He
said, Certainly l didn't sign the con-
ference report. Do you suppose l
would sign something knew nothing
about? If l thought l could beat the
measure in the senate certainly
would try, but want to delay other
things. The inclusion of the bank de-
posits guarantee in the bill and its
withdrawal in conference was just
plain buncombe 1t was originally put
on the measure to bluff the people,"
The prospects this afternoon arc
for action on the currency bill by dark.
The Republican senators were expect
ing to block immediate action by OBJ
iecting to the suspension of rules,
which requires that the conference re-
port must lie over day before being
called up. The FORMAL report of the
conferes is expected to reach, both
houses late this afternoon. The demo-
cratic leaders obtained the consent of
the minority members to begin inn
mediate consideration, Majority Lead
er Underwood promising to allow at
least two hours for debate.
New York, Dec. 22.-Sentiment in
banking circles has never been so ia
vorable and optimism SO apparent
since the advent of the Wilson ad-
ministration as it is today. This
cheer was derived in great measure
from the governments action in
working out an amicable dissolution
of the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone Company's Western Union
combination, the passage by the SEN
ate of the currency bill and the strong
belief in financial circles that other
gigantic problems growing out Of a

San Francisco, Dec. 22-Consider-
able damage was done in the bay reg

Sunday at midnight reaching eli
making at 3 this morning. The storm
swept the coast from Victoria to Los
Angeles. A heavy downpour here

Berkeley, Oakland and Alameda also
suffered. Wires are down on account
of the gale, trees being uprooted and
hundreds of homes left without cleo

portions of the city is tied up. There
are heavy seas and fears are felt for
