The Press Guarantees Circulation Greater
than the Combined Circulation of any
Other Three Imperial Valley Papers
TRYING TO EXPLAIN.

The booze and political caba of Imperial are now
trying to explain their fool policy of putting up county
ticket in which every other section of the valley g
nored They recognize that the exposure of their
program has made it impossible to carry it through
The editor of the Press had signed the petition of
one Of the Imperial candidates and this journal felt very
friendly to at least two others afterWard put the I'M
peIia ticket but there but to the greed
which led to the naming of Imperial for every
place the ticket and that to oppose the ticket in its
entirety.
The booze boss and his cabal adopted the usual pro-
cedure in such He tried to hide their handwor
even from of the candidates. Meetings were held
behind closed doors to frame up the program at which
selected TO approach those wanted candl-
dates going not committeeman representatives
of BOOZE but personal friends In this way were
induced to come out candidates the ticket of the
booze boss who had knowledge of the procedure and
no sympathy respect for the boss his purposes
The Press recognizes the fact that most of the men
chosen for places the ticket of good personal char
acter and the opposition to them rests not PERSONAL
ties but the character Of the who has directed the
making of the ticket and the greed of the city of I'M
peral in backing that ignores the right Of
Brawey Holtve Calexico Ell Centre and other sections
of the valley to representation In county government
The central thought of the Imperial program is to
punish District Attorney Swing and Sheriff Meadows for
Vigilance in enforcing the laws.
It is not meant imply that the Imperial candidates
aGs 9 m cs 5 nf we
cumbens by throwing them out of office the lesson will
be deterrent to their in the enforce
Iment of laws in the future.
1t does not seem to have occurred to the booze boss
or his caba that the scheme for selecting Imperial
for each office the worst OF fool policies until
the procedure exposed by the Press and the several
candidates fastened to try to get out of the combination
he thought apparently had not occurred to the boss
his associates that his dOmlneelng policy would be
ented He did not think of the fact that Brawey Holt
vile, CaleXico and Ell Centre would naturally demand
voice in county affairs, and, the exposure Of their
scheme has brought the truth home to them there has
been CONSERVATION in the camp of booze and boss politics.

YOUR HEALTH.
Demands Lighter Diet
During the Summer

Meat and heavy foods have their
place, of course; but they should be
eaten sparingly in hot weather. Too
much heavy food will cause sour
stomach, and bring on Indigestion.
There is more discomfort caused
in summer from overeating, or the
use OF improper foods, than from all
ether causes combined. This state
ment is made advisedly, and we be-
lieve most physicians will bear us out
in it.
The remedy is to select lighter
foods, things that are more easily
and quickly digested. You don't build
fires in the furnace in hot weather.
Why make a furnace of your stom-
tch?
You've probably heard of GORGE"

serve Breakfast Food. Well, ,"FORCE"

blended with barley malt; then rolled,
toasted and flaked.

ment necessary for building and sus-

and easily digested. FORCE

Constitutionalists Are Maintaining
Strict Order in Territory About
Tampico and Urge Oil Men to Re-

Washington, d. c., May 16.-Span-
ish Ambassador Riano today received
a dispatch saying that the Mexican
federals will Immediately make a COM
plete investigation of the disappear
ance of Private Parks, who recently
wandered into the Mexican lines
around Vera Cruz.
Rano's promise to investigate the
Parks case is believed in part to have
been due to the great tension over
him. His announcement was made in
reply to Bryan's demand made
through him.
The constitutionalists today con
tinued their assurances of welcoming
Americans back to Tampico with a
large load of oil laborers. 1t was also
learned today that the federal gunboat
Vera Cruz was not beached but sunk
in Panuco river. The constitutional
lists are maintaining strict order in
the country about Tampico.

OKLAHOMA DELEGATION SOLID
LY AGAINST PROPOSED AMEND
MENT.
TO CREEK ATTORNEY
Nationa! Attorney of Creek Indians
Tries to Have Congress Amend
PROBATE Procedure and Reinstate
Restrictions on Inherited Lands.

Washington, d. c., May 17.-Fron
present indications, it appears the
amendment attempting to regulate
probate procedure and reinstate the
restrictions on inherited lands of the
Five Civilized Tribes has small
chance for passage in the Indian ap'
preparation bill.
This provision has not had the ap'
prova of the administration. All
members of the Oklahoma delegation
are unqualifiedly against it, and Con.
gressnan Carter, who is the ranking
member of the house committee on
Indian affairs, states that the amend
ment will never reach conference,
much less become a law.
Since all of these forces are op-
posed to this amendment, its origin
for a long time appeared to be a sub
ject Of mystery and the Oklahoma
members were much surprised when
a recent confidential print of the SEN
ate bill came out containing it. The
mystery has been cleared up by the
discovery that this course was oppos-
ed by Creek National Attorney Allen,
without consulting any of the Okla
homa delegation or the commissioner
of Indian affairs.

Skeletons Found.

Madill, Okla, May 16.- Workmen
eXcavating for a large saw mill plant
on the Washita river near Aylesworth
yesterday unearthed four skeletons,
thought to be those of a man a wom-
an, a half grown youth and a small
child. The position Of the skeletons,
the skull of each resting between the
legbOnes indicated that all were sit
ting when death overlook them while
the crushed condition of the skulls
lends color to the theory that they
were murdered. The bones were only
a few feet beneath the earth's sur
face. The place where they were
found is in a wild and densely tim
bered section of the Washita bottoms.
