there will be about so entries in the
aerial race around the world, to be

Panama Pacific International exposi-

dispatches from Arnold Kruckman,

ASPARAGUS FIELDS +
SHOWING RICHES

How many people in Ell Centro know
what is going on every day three miles
west of town? Probably not one per-
son in hundred knows more of the
asparagus industry than simply the
mere fact that asparagus is being
grown in few places Of the Imperial
valley; and yet right at the gates of
the city the asparagus harvest is. at its
height. At the McPherrin ranch join
ing on the north the great Wilsie
ranch, which is being sold off in five
acre tracts by the Edgar Bros. Realty
Co., one may see the luscious aspara-
gus being gathered in the fields, borne
tenderly to packing shed and there
prepared for market in as attractive a
package as is put out by the most ap
to date gardeners in the country. I'm
perial valley asparagus goes to the
market in Chicago set in moistened
moss and wrapped in oil paper and ar
rives with the delicious flavor pre-
served and presented IN way that
would attract the attention of the most
exacting epicure. All of this one may
see at the pains of trip to the Nc
Pherrin ranch three miles from town.
The working progress of the Nc
Pherrin ranch has forceful bearing
upon the prOblem which the Edgar
Bros. Realty Co. are demonstrating at
Wilsie. While the McPherrin asparsa-
gus ranch has not yet reached it's max
imum activity, the returns show l
yield for the last season of over 7100
crates which netted after the payment
of express and commission charges a
total of more than $4,000. In other
words, five acre tract at Whsle,
when it has arrived at the same state
of activity as this asparagus garden
on the property adjoining, will yield 10
it's owner $4,000. Is this not an attract
i've reward for years labor? Does
it not become doubly attractive when
one considers that the really strenuous
period of asparagus culture extends
only over few weeks and during the
remainder of the year the problem is
merely one of keeping tn asparagus
growing ready for the harvest period
of the next spring.

QUARTER MILLION
IN GEMS STOLEN

New York, March 1.-two men
and a woman who stole jewels worth
$3.50, 700 from Mrs. John H. Hanan are
under surveillance in Paris and $65, 900
worth of the stones have been recov-
cred, the police admitted today.
The burglary occurred last July
from the Hanan home in Narragan-
sett Pier. Mr.. Hanan was i'll at the
time.
The burglary was committed by a
band of five international thieves, the
police say, one of whom, the woman
member, lured the nurse from Mr..
Hanan's bedside and the room where
the jewels were kept.
The first clew to the identity of the
thieves came when Mr.. Hanan re-
ported seeing in a pawnshop a stolen
necklace. The remainder of the $685.
600 worth of stones recovered were
then found in Paris and Amsterdam
shops.
Through the pawnbrokers the three
members of the band were located and
placed under surveillance. Two of the
men recently sailed for South Amer
lea, carrying with them part of the
loot.
Tnvestigation convinced us that the
burglars are a part of an international
band" said Detective-S. Samwich to-
day. "They worked in Palm Beach
two seasons ago and got away with
jewelry worth $4,000. We found that
the band used 'an auto in their raid

was served, and after taking look
over Ell Centro's business district, the
solidity and prosperity of which made
great impression on the visitors,
they returned to their train and left

Many residents yf the valley this
morning took the train for INLAND and

eral restaurants, most of which were
filled.
1t was II o'clock when the excursion
train and a valley special of ten
coaches pulled northward for INLAND,
there being a good number of resi-
dents of the valley on the latter, while

suggested solution of the disposal Of

at meeting of central California

each sheriff take 200 or 300 men to
his county, thus breaking up the
army. A company of armed depu-
ties would be sent to each Of the half
dozen counties concerned, to guard the
men on the march to the various coun-
ty seats and distribute work if found,
or keep them until they depart vol

Revenge is sweet and revenge is
what | want for some of the many,
many wrongs that have been done me-,
yes the many accusations that have
been made about me. Vengeance is
mine saith the Lord" But l some
times think that the Lord is awfully
slow in righting our wrongs and if all
the many persons who have done me
injury in word and deed were to die
horrible deaths, it would not clean
the stain that has been placed upon
my character. Therefore, l want re-
venge while I'm living. People have
not made me any better or worse by
the many undermining little and dirty
tricks that they have done to me. 1
am still living by the help of that
God that lets them live. They call
me bully, but l have lever bullied any
one out of anything or told a wilful
lie, although l can't say as much about
some of the people who live around
me. Some Negroes, the police and the
Judge tried to get me out of my house
but the Lord vas with me and they
were not successful. A policeman
came to me with a fake warrant but
I went on to work just as I have been
doing for many months and l have
not spoken to him since that time. 1t
seems the more trouble l get into, the
more | find out. But l do not intend
to rob anyone OF steal anything or
waylay anyone, but whatever l have
done was done because they tried to
down me 1t would be better that
some of my enemies had a milestone
around their necks and were cast into
the river for God will have more
mercy on them than | would.
