JOYR|OER WILL SOON
Be LOOKING THROUGH
BARS IS PREDICTION

The sheriff's office is predicting
that one of these beautiful spring
mornings an experienced auto driver
will be looking through the bars at
the county Jail. This prognostication
is based on several cars that have
been taken at night and after being
driven around the country for many
miles have been left standing in some
ut-of the way place.
Last night the Overland belonging
to Charles Morgan was used by the
person VINO likes to ride but is minus
the cash to purchase flivver. The
car was taken while it was parked
downtown and several hours later 1T
was left standing in front of the
Country Club. An examination dis
closed the fact that a revolver and a
flashlight had been taken. This is
only one of several instances recently
reported to the local officers.

Washington, April 7.--Secretary
Baker insists on demanding the con-
scription plan in raising an army of
half a million men, declaring that this
scheme makes all classes liable for
service. A war steering committee
is to be named to expeditiously re-
fer measures to the proper commit
tees.
Secretary Barleson has stopped all
mails addressed to Germany. He also
forbids any mail going to Austria,
Turkey or Bulgaria, as it is necessary
for mails to these countries to pass
through Germany.
President Wilson has cabled Rus
sia that "America is arrayed against
the greatest enemy-the menace to
Democracy"
Several congressman oppose the
draft system and proposed the volun-
teer plan.
1t is learned that the Cuban con-
gress is almost certain to pass res

ALL VALLEY PEOPLE
REGISTER At BUREAU

Interest in Imperial Valley as a field
for investment has not been appreci-
ably affected, according to word from
the Imperial Valley Information Bu-
reau at 6O4 South Spring street, Los
Angeles. The abnormal demands for
food supplies consequent to Americas
entrance into the war are expected to
have marked influence on the de-
mand for farm properties and the in
formation bureau at Los Angeles says
the inquiries bear out this belief. The
office of the bureau is busy place
during the greater part of the day,
inquirers from practically every state
il, the Union dropping in for infor-
nation.
Many Valley people visiting Los An
geles have registered at the Bureau
recent callers including j. w. Yocum
of Calipatria, Dan Leonard of Ca
lexico, Charles Applestill of Ell Cen
tro, F. D. Hevener of Calexico, A. L
Richmond of Ell Centre, O. B. Tout

and Is Only Fourteen

The elopement of w. J. Buxton and
"a high school girl from Yuma ended
very disastrously for both, as the
prospective groom awoke one morn
ing this week in the Mexicali hoose-
gov as result of worshipping Bac-
chus and attempting to, lure the elu-
sive goddess of chance at the Teco-
late. The schoolgirl who was to have
become his bride was taken into Gus
tody soon after arrival in the Valley
and will be returned to her home. Bux-
ton was delivered to the sheriff's Of
flee from Mexicali and taken to Yuma
this morning by Deputy Sheriff
Kemp.
Buxton and the girl were seen fire.
quent,y together in Yuma. Wednes-
day Buxton disposed of his Ford car
and with the proceeds started with
the girl for Ell Centro. After the To-
cal authorities had been notified con-
cerping the circumstances, Buxton
made his way to Mexicali. 1t is said
he started gambling in one of the re-
sorts and amassed a considerable sum.
The possession of this money aroused
the Stupidity of dips who hang around
the gambling places, with the result
that Buxton was "rolled" and relieved
of his wealth. In addition, rap on
the head sent him to the land of nod,
and when he awoke he was penniless
and booked in the Mexicali Jail. Ar
rangements were made to turn him
over to the Imperial county officers.
Just what charge Sheriff Greenleaf
of Yuma will prefer against him is not
known at this time.
