BIG CANTALOUPE
FESTIVAL SATURDAY

Saturday the 18th is cantaloupe day
in Ell Centro.
The Women's Ten Thousand Club
will sell and serve cantaloupes all day
at the nursery opposite the postoffice.
Iced cantaloupe, cantaloupe la mode
and delicious sandwiches and coffee
will be the menu.
The cantaloupes are from the IA
nous Fawcett ranch at Heber and
have been donated by Mr.. Fawcett
for The occasion. Those wishing can
also arrange to send crates of 46 to
their friends out of the valley. Two
dollars will be the popular price, and
85 cents will pay the express charges
to any point in Southern California.
1t is easy to suppose that the Wom-
ems Ten Thousand Club will do a
rushing business Saturday, as every
one is getting acquainted with these
happy little gatherings, where all
have a good time and get their mon d,
ey's worth.
The money earned will go to the
building fund for the new Ten Thou
sand clubhouse.
Give part of your time and mon
ey to the Ten Thousand Club next
Saturday.
The committee in charge of the day
consists of Mrs. Allen P. Nuffer, chair
man; Mrs. w. S. Fawcett, Mrs. Perc '

HOPES EXPRESSED OF
SOLUTION OF TROUBLE

Niagara Falls, Ont, June ia
dangerous obstruction to progress on
vital point in the mediation proceed
ings has arisen, which again threat
ems failure of the negotiations. The
United States has said to the media
tors IN unequivocal terms that it cam
not consent to any method of tran
sition from the existing regime to
the proposed new provisional govern
ment of Huerta's administration.
The mediators are insisting that
General Huerta be permitted to make
the appointment of the man agreed
upon here for provisional president.
This the American government abso-
lutely refuses to accept, not only be-
cause it is committed against recog-
nition Of Huerta, but because it has
been informed by the constitutional
lists that under no circumstances will
they accept a peace plan which per-
mits Huerta to exercise the constitu-
tional function of naming his success
sor. On this point the mediators and
American delegates are blocked. One
side must give way before any adj
vance is made.
Some of the principals have actual
ly lost hope for settlement, hut there
is growing confidence that the medi-
ators will devise some method OF
bridging the difficulty rather than al
low the mediation to founder on the
rocks.

HAL SHERIDAN NAMES
PENNANT WINNERS
(BY HAL SHERIDAN)
(Written for the United Press)


New York, June 11.-Unlcss the
dope is all wrong, it IS now generally
conceded it will be New York or Pitts
burg in the National League and
Philadelphia or Washington in the
American.
The law of precedents appears to
be the only thing at this writing,
against which the McGraw Giants
must back. No team in the National
League has ever won four straight
league pennants. Some years back
Fred Clark and his pirates were head
ed for their fourth successive
strcamer. The Giants scuttlcd the
Corsair crew. Now the Pittsburghers
are doing their durndest to return the
compliment, but, though Clark has a
grand little team, up to early in June
it hadn't been there in the pinch.
The first rending, tearing clash with
the Giants late in May when New
York fairly, routed the Pirates, and
then the smearing the latter got at
the hands of Charlie Herzog's re-
suscitated Cincinnatians, was an ex-
hibiticn of the heart the Pittsburgh
aggregation hasn't got or at least did
not have up to that time, and which
is essential to running in front at the
close of the 154-game schedule.
There was no other possible alibi.
The Clark crew was in prime shape.
1t had ripped its way through all the
ether teams it had met. 1t had shown
everything except what it could do
when it bucked above-the-ay erage
class. When that grade of Gle IS tore

KERMIT'S WEDDING
BRILLIANT AFFAIR
Omitted Press Day service)


Madrid, June IA brilliant gath
ering comprising the elite of Spanish
officialdom and arisUocracy, together
with practically all the members of
the diplomatic corps and their ladies,
witnessed the marriage today of Miss
Belle Wyatt Willard, daughter of JOS
eph f. Willard, American ambassador
to Spain, and Kermit Roosevelt, son
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, EXPIRES
ident Of the United States. The bride
groom's father came over from New
York to attend the wedding. The cere-
mony, which took place at noon in the
British Embassy Chapel, was perform
ed by the Rev. DR.. Watson, rector
of the American Church in Paris, as
sisted by the Rev. Herbert Brown,
chaplain of the British Embassy in
Madrid The bride was attended by
her sister, Miss Elizabeth Willard,
as maid of honor, and by the follow
ing bridesmaids: Her Serene Highness
the Princess Folla of Thurn and Taxis
daughter of Prince Ratibor, the Ger
man Ambassador in Madrid; Miss
Katherine Page, daughter of the
American Ambassador in London;
Mile. Gilone lie Venour de Tillieres, of
Paris, and Miss Virginia Christian,
of Richmond, Va. Following brief
honeymoon on the Continent, the
young couple will leave for Brazil to
establish their future home at San
Paulo, where Kermit Roosevelt is en-
gagged in the railroad business.
The bride, now 81, was one of the
most attractive girls in the younger
social set at Richmond, the family
home of the Willards, where she made
her debut two years ago. While en-
route with her mother and younger
sister last February to join her faith
er at his new post she was presented
at the Court of st. James in London,
and upon her arrival here she quick
ly became general favorite in Span
ish society. Kermit Roosevelt, "a
years old has seen considerably more
of the world than usually falls to the
lot of young men of his age. After
returning froAa the fag game hant
in Africa with his father in 1910 he
went out West on a mountain sheep
shooting expedition. Following his
graduation from Harvard in 1912 he
made visit in England and later
took up railroading in South America.
Last winter he accompanied Col. Roo
sevelt on his hunting, exploring, and
river-discovering trip in the Amazon
country, coming direct from Brazil
to this city, where he arrived three
weeks ago. Kermit met his future
wife through the good offices of his
sister, Mrs. Richard Derby, then Miss
Ethel Roosevelt, who had become a
great chum of Miss Wizards during
a sojourn at Hot Springs, Va. Ethel
took her new friend to Oyster Bay,
where Kermit speedily fell a victim
to her charms.
The couple will spend short time
in Europe, then go to San Paolo, Bra
zil, where young Roosevelt will be
in the railroad business and
they will make their home.

To Vote Today.
Omitted Press Day Service)

Washington, June ia final vote
on tolls repeal is expected before
night, although it is admitted two
matters might force delay. One was
Brandegee's scheduled two-hour
speech supporting the resolution. The
other was a prospective fight over
the insertion of an arbitration section
in the measure.
Norris gave notice that he would
attempt to have such section incor-
porated.
The senate by vote of so to &c
rejected the Works amendment to the
canal tolls repeal bill, providing that
the collection of tolls from American
ships should not be construed as de-
priving the United States of the right
to exempt these ships in future when
ever it pleased.

Giants, the erstwhile irrestible force

that's the dope in the National League.
But it's pure dope.
Now for the fireworks in the Amer
lean. What follows is not for Wash
ingtonians to read. Everybody, in the
Capital has already picked out just
where they're going to sit when, in
their own minds, the Senators meet
the National League winners next
fall. Any Washingtonian who reads
this won't believe it. But it's dope.
It's perfectly true that Clark Grif-
fifth has Walter Johnson. There is
also Mile-a Minute Milan, Base-Grab-
Der Gandil, and others of their ilk,
not to mention George Mcbride, who
seldom causes any sparks, but who
generally is conceded to be the great

Connie Mack has shown the class he
totes about the country with him.
With the exception of his pitching
staff, which had not come up to ex-
pectations early this month he has
the same old crowd, doing the same
old stunts.
Thus this Washington-P Philadelphia
argument SINNERS down to a compar-
ison Of the Griffithian- Mackian pitch
ing departments. Bender is far from
gone and there may be quite a few
worrying splinters left in Plank, but
neither is what he used to be. Mack
must depend on his younger pitchers,
Bush, Shawkey, Pennock, ct. AL, for
the brunt of his battle. Griffith has
the winning Walter, Ayres, Shaw and
Engel, who have shown more stuff
than the young Mack twirlers.
All in all, it must be conceded to
the rapid Washington fan, that the
Observation-Disclosures fight for the
first place should furnish as pretty
a knock-down and drag-out as has
ever been staged in either league.
Our golfers still have chance to
get back at the Britishers, but even
if they don't, Francis Ouimet will car
ry home with him and wear for one
year the French title. After the young
mans drubbing, with the drubbing
given the otkar american golfers, at
Sandwich, he crossed the channel and
led the field in France. The open
Championship in England furnishes
another try for Ouimet and the 9TH
ers. Here's hoping that they beard
Vardon and Ray and the other golfing
lions in their homes, the Stars ana
Stripes will have better luck. To beat
Vardon and Ray a second time will
be more of triumph than to have
won at Sandwich.
The Sport of Kings is far from
dead in Little Old New York and |
vicinity. This has been demonstrat-
ed at Belmont Park. Twelve months
ago even the most sanguine could see
nothing in the way of a come back
for the racing game. If the sport is
kept in the wholesome condition in
which it started the "good old days"
should return.
And speaking of come-backs, Cor
nell has done something in athletics
this year. The winning of the In
tercollegiates at Harvard, which meant
permanent possession of the coveted
championship cup, was indeed tri-
umph. 1t was another triumph for
Trainer Jack Meakley and his meth
DDS. Cornell also has shown her pow
er on the diamond and on water. From
present indications, the Ithacans should
bring home the bacon at Poughkeep-

Director c. w. Brockman of the

Berry some more definite information

break is from 130 to 140 feet wide
and the water is from six to seven
feet deep. He thinks there is still
a fighting chance to close the break,
and said the water is moving so slow
ly that it will be three or four days
before it reaches New river.
1t seems the break came very sud-
denly. George A. Long had a camp
by the levee ready to begin active
work this morning and before it was
realized the water was on the camp
ground. The mules were got out in
