DISTRICT ATTORNEYS

Some idea can be gained of the
amount of work now confronting the
district attorneys office by work
transacted yesterday. Deputy H. L.
Welch brought to preliminary trial
in Justices court, Charles E. Smith
charged with battery in having horse
whipped his 17-year-old son; prepar
ing and filing information against Bill
Scott and G. C. Neimyer, held as in
sane persons; J. C. Patton, habitua
drug user, and Frank Miller, for lar
ceny.
In the meantime District Attorney
Phil d. Swing was busy in superior
court as prosecutor in the Ira Lacy
case, with the fact staring him in the
face that as soon as court closed fol
the day a mass of correspondence
would have to be gone over; dozer
people would be in his Office clamor
ing for legal advice, and the higf
lights in several cases which ar,
pending waiting to be touched up be
fore the matters are brought into
court. Today is not an unusual day
in fact, somewhat lighter than thu

DISPUTED BOUNDARY
IS J. DIS FAVORITE

Cleveland, O., Feb. 25.-ThoSe of the
old residents of East Cleveland who
used to run barefooted with John d.
Rockefeller as a boy are authority
for the statement that the oil king
with all his $900,0O0,0O0 prizes most
highly among his personal posses
sions an $4,000 painting, "The Dis
puted Boundary"
This sentiment, it is said, was in 4
degree responsible for Rockefeller's
action in transferring first of all the
painting from his Forest hill estate
TO Pocantice Hills at Tarrytown, N.
Y, some time ago when Cuyahoga
county tax commissioners were de
manding that he pay about $12,000,00J
taxes on his personal property.
"Thc Disputed Boundary" it is
said, is typical Of the disputed con
flicts in John D.'s life, for the oil
King has had more law suits and scrap
ping bees over line fences and land
claims than any man in the coun7
try. t"'

Valley Masons
EnjoyBanquet

Over seventy-fve local Masons
iourneyed to Brawley Monday night to
attend the third annual "get together"
banquet of the Imperial Valley Ma
sons. The banquet was spread in the
High School auditorium and was the
most brilliant gathering of the order
ever held in the valley. More than
200 Masons set down to the banquet.
The banquet hall was beautifully
decorated and each guests seat was
marked with handsome place card.
The ladies of the Methodist church
served an excellent turkey feed. There
was only one disappointing feature of
the gathering-Judge Bledsoe of San
Bernardino and Judge Harvey of Los
Angeles were expected as the honored
guests of the valley Masons. Owing
to washouts on the railroad these two
officials were unable to get to Braw-
ley and sent kilograms of regret of
their inability to be on hand.
Major Dunn of Brawley acted as
the toastmaster of the evening and
the following members made glowing
addresses on Masonry: Phil D. Swing,
Ell Centre; r. d. McPherrin, Impe
rial: w. T. Atkins, CaleXico; Harry

Lady Birds Are aa
Now Available

County Horticultural Commissioners
f. w. Waite has just received a com
nunication from Harry s.. Smith at
the state inseetary that lady birds n' are are
row available for the barley fields to
combat with the aphis. Numerous re-
quests for the insects have been re-
ceived by Commissioner Waite and
these have been sent on to Mr.. Smith,
who will ship direct the lady birds as
ordered.
Ranchers who are bothered with
aphis in their barley fields and wish
to secure some of the lady birds must
first let their wants be known to the
local office and the order will be sent
to the state department. of insectary
from here after an investigation has
been made. Orders sent direct will
not be recognized, but will be referred
hack to Commissioner Waite.
This method of supplying the in
scots has been put in force in order
that the proper number Of colonies
can be sent to take care Of the situa-
ton. Should great number of the
lady birds be turned loose in field
where there was only a small amount
of aphis, a large proportion of the
insects would die. for want of food,
which is the aphis, the pest of the
barley and melon growers.
