Disclaiming any intention Of Can

sioner Herbert Cuthbert, of the Vic

steps to correst the impression which
arose when the famous Maxwell nom

and is still under litigation.
Without going into the merits OF
the Maxwell case, the commissioner
declares Canadian officials must have
been convinced that something had
been done contrary to the ordinary
usage, or the car would not have been
seized.
At the present time, the case is
pending in Ottawa, the Maxwell tour

JUST LOOK Up OUR
RECORDS Mr.. NORTON
SOME PLACE HERE

If the Palo Verde country is any
thing like the boost talk of l.. c. Nor
ton, manager Of the creamery at that
place, says it is, it must be a para
disc, for he claims that they have
this valley backed off the earth.
Mr.. Norton says that 5000 bales OF
cotton will be ginned at Palo Verde
this season and that the alfalfa is the
best he ever saw. Already two cars
of seed have been shipped out He
states that the farmers are realizing
$50 an acre for alfalfa seed. The
planting of Tippary beans has been
token up and what paintings that have
been made have been very successful.
Fine, Brother Norton, your report
is fine and the Imperial Valley rejoices
that you are doing fairly well, but just
lick up our record here and you will
fird just one better valley than yours.

Is Belief of State Investigator

Ernest P. Van Altman, representing
the State Board of Charities and Cor
rections was city visitor this week,
coming here for the purpose of inves-
tigating the conditions at the county
jail and the county farm. These in
vest cations are being made all over
the state and the belief is growing
in the minds Of those who have given
the mater any thought that the method
of handling misdemeanor cases in the
various counties Of the state is all
wrong,
A recent "Study of the County Jails
ir California, made by the state Board
of Charities and Corrections, throws
much light on the situation. The me-
thods now employed are declared to
10 unscientific and the findings show
that for the better care Of misdemean-
ants and petty offenders, California
needs
1. Correctional institutions ag-
ricultural and industrial. managed by
the state.
9. Custodial institutions for drug
habitues, inebriates and mental de-
fectives.
3. Indeterminate sentence for all
nisdemeanants
u'l,o,o,rL ovon,ipation before
commitment and possible transfer
rom one state institution to another.
The following are some of the con-
clusions reached:
Migratory men should be cared fol
by the state rather than the county:
The "floater" custom is merely
"passing the buck
Short sentences do little good. .,'
Recidiv:sm would be reduced
Sanitary conditions could be econ
omically introduced
Enforced idlness would be displace1
by useful labor.
Discipline would be improved
The county jail should be used fol
the detention of persons waiting fol
trial, not for those servin gsentence
Under our present laws the proceed
ure is roughly as follows:
A man is arrested for vagrancy
Presumably he is guilty of the spec'fi
charge. He is locked up in city O.
county Jail and in day or so is ia
Ken to court, If the judge is lenient
he may discharge the prisoner or Civ
him five days in Jail. If the judge b
severe, he may sentence the prisone
to 60 or 30 days. All this, mind you

TO PASTOR
PROVES ENJOYABLE

bic affair. A program of musical
numbers, arranged by Mrs. J. B. Mac
Dougall, and literary game added
much to the pleasure of those pres
ent.
At the close of the evening delicious
refreshments were served. This con-
gregation is expecting to soon begin
the erection of a new house of worship
having found their present quarters

their rapidly growing organization.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-10-14

is done with little reference to the
mans physical condition, his habits
of life. past history or future posi-
biities. He comes out of Jail some
times better and sometimes worse ply
sically, at ussully with less ambition,
less self respect, more knowledge
vice and crime, more bitterness. In
a few weeks at the most he will be
back again. If he is normal, he has
formed habits of recklessness, irres-
possibility, intemperance and vice; the
Jail sentenc cannot replace these hab-
it's, more likely it will accentuate them.
Suppose the man is not sent to Jail,
but is discharged with orders to leave
town in an hour. How much better off
is he? Granted that he has violated
some law, what assurance has the
community that he will not repeat the
offense? He has simply gone on to
the next county unknown and unwel-
come. An salready overdeveloped
"wanderlust" has been gratified; ha-
tired of organized society is increased.
Instead of an upward lift, we have
given the man downward path.
The ordinary county Jail is little
better than school of crime. All
sorts and conditions of men are herd
ed together with nothing to do but
brood over their wrongs" plot and
plan future crimes and new and ap-
proved methods of evading detection
Hardened criminals instruct and en-
courage the inexperienced. Herding
men together behind iron bars does
rot lessen the commission of offenses
nor deter the crimnally inclined from
violating the law. Enforced idleness
will never cure the wayward. What
we need and must have is a radical
change of methods.
Statistics, show that fully one-third
cf those imprisoned in county jails in
this state have not been in the coun-
ty more than week. Half of them have
not been in the county where they
were arrested more than month
Against this fact is the discovery
that three fourths of these men have
been in California more than year
and over one half of them have been
\ in the state more than five years
These figures show rather strikingly
that those imprisoned in our county
jails belong for the most part to the
state but are residents Of any part.

PEACE MEYER,

GERMANY is
KNOCKED
OUT
BY CARL ACKERMAN

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
COLOGNE, Germany, Oct, 14.-"If
those fellows are ready to make peace
only when Germany is knocked out
then we will never have peace" said
Ernest Posze, editor of the Cologne
Gazette, probably Germany's greatest
editor. His high standing perhaps,
makes him the best unofficial spokes-
man for the empire. Replying tc
Lloyd Georges recent statement to
the United States, that the war must
go to the finish.
For weeks the allies have conducted
press campaign against peace, espe-
cially at Washington. They said re-
peatedly that no peace could be had
until we were broken or until they
had reached the Rhine.
In my Opinion our military position
IS better than a year ago. The allies
will never be able to break our west
front.

55 divisions in consequence could en-
gage in the combat only twice. Fiji
teen divisions in action thrice and one
remained so intact that it could enter
the battle at four different times.
Since the beginning of the Somme Of

DURANGO

SEED BRINGS
Sl47.34
(From the Seely Sentinel)

(From the Seely SentineD
What's said to be the largest amount
of money ever received in the valley
for one bale of cotton, including the
seed was received Thusray by J. M.
Leopard, a prominent grower Of the
Seeley district. Mr.. Leopard brought
in his Durango seed cotton to See
ley gin Immediately afterwards sam
pies were taken and he was offered
22 cents a pound. He sold at this fl
gure and check was handed to him
on the First National Bank of Seeley.
This with the money he received from
the sale of the seed at the rate of $40
d ton, less the ginning price, made
the tctal for the one bale of cotton
and seed S147.34.
Since cotton has begun to come in
the West Side product, especially the
long staple variety, has brought the
top market price. When buyers were
paying 1Sc in other localities, Seeley
cotton brought from y to q of a cent
more. The short staple variety has
kept pace with these premium prices,
also, although not to such an extent.
Thursday, Drue Harrington received
2115, letting two bales go at that fig
ure. l.. Drau also received the same
figure. Lee Benge and j. Oden let
loose of their short staple cotton this
week at 161s.
Confident in the belief that cotton
quotations will soar even higher many
of the west side ranchers are holding.
To date there has only been total
of 375 bales ginned. The estimate for
the west side section is 5000 bales. OF
this amount that has been ginned only
rs bales remain in warehouse unsold,
800 bales having been disposed of.
The growers Of the west side are cry
ing for .pickers, there only being about
tone-fifth the number required. In this
geat cotton section there remains ap-
proximately 4600 bales yet to be
brought to the gins. Every inducement
has been held out to pickers but they
were not to be had. The growers are
in the hope that help will come from
the southern states when the home
seekers from the southern cotton belt
flock to the valley.

SKIN NER A WAR D Ed
DAMAGES, SUIT
IN FEOERAL
COURT

w. w. Skinner was awarded dam,
ages to the amount Of $3,76392 by a
Jury in the federal court at Los An
ge.es yesterday against the manufac-
turers of the Sharples Milking ma
chine, according to Attorney Phil D.
Swing, who appeared for Mr.. Skinner.
The amount sued for was $4,000
Mr.. Swing, upon returning from
Los Angeles, stated that the damage
asked for was for injuries to Mr.. Skin
ner's cows from the use of the milk
ing machines, and that the jury in re-
turning its findings held that the ma
chimes wouldn't work satisfactorily.
1t appears that in the year 1914,
about dozen milking machines were
sold in the Imperial Valley and, it is
said that more or less damage resulted
from their use. Mr.. Swing is author
ity for the statement that the Skinner
case was taken up first as test case.
1t is more than likely that others will
follow.
The case was heard in the federal
court On account of diversity Of citi-
zenship.
Mr.. Swing states that this case is
the first that he has ever had in the
federal court and be is elated on VIM
