Washington, Oct. 19-An American
transport, homeward bound, has been
sunk in the war zone by a German
torpedo.
SiXty-seven lives were lost of the
e76 persons on board at the time
This is the first larst loss of the
United States in the war.
Had the boat been torpedoed on the
voyage to France, hundreds of sol
diers would probably have been
drowned, for it was heavily laden
with troops on the outgoing voyage.
Details of the sinking of the trans
port given out by the War Depart
ment We're meagre. A chief dispatch
to the War Department today gave
the news. 1t is understood no cas-

SENDS MESQUITE STICK
IMPERIAL WOMAN MAILS IT TO
WASHINGTON.
1T viii Represent the Valley at the
Big Bonfire Near White
House, Oct. ~.

A strange parcel post package left
Imperial Wednesday night for Wash
ington. The package contained pro
duct of the valey-the oldest YOU
could think of. 1t was stick of
mesquite wood. Not so odd, at that
when you think of mesquite being the
original product of the valley.
This stick of mesquite wood is to
represent Imperial in the big Liberty
fire at Washington on the evening of
October %.
Postmaster Mamie Farr Stevenson
who was asked by Mrs. +. r. Brain
erd, state chairman of the Woman
Liberty Loan Committee, to get the
movement started in Imperial, decided
that the most representative wooC
from Imperial would be mesquite
since it is the only wood that is ma
tive to the desert.
The piece of wood representing I'M
perial was taken from live mesquite
tee within the city limits, and was
sent by special delivery to insure its
arrival on time. The stick is two feet
in length and weighs pound.

COTTON FIELDS
LURE CHILDREN n
ATTENDANCE OFFICER FINDS A
PROBLEM.
LAW BEING VIOLATED
YET THEY ARE NEEDED BADLY
IN THE FIELDS.
What to Do With Nearly 500 Chill
dren Cotton Pickers Wor-
ries Officials.

In tour of the principal cotton
raising centers of the valley yester-
day, Probation and Truancy Officer
Swanson and County Superintendent
of Schools Shibley found an astonish-
ing condition. Nearly 500 children Of
school age are picking cotton instead
of going to school. They are taking
the places of adults who cannot be
procured by the growers. I'm most
cases, the children are picking cotton
ON ranches or leases of their parents.
The law is clearly violated, yet the
parents and the children themselves
pleaded to be allowed to finish the
picking III the fields before returnine
to school because of huge monetary
loss confronting them because of the
lack of pickers. A plan is being
worked out to have these children at
tend school part of the day, and ap-
ply themselves to their books a short
time in the evening.
Two families, including eleven chill
dren between the ages of and 1S
years were picking cotton in the
Meloland district. The heads Of the
families leased 100 acres which they
had in cotton. The cotton was be-
ginning to fall, and they were con-
fronted with the necessity of eoinc.
over the field and getting the over
ripe bolls. All the children were tax
en- out of school, and the group is
fast cleaning up the ripe cotton.
An 11-year-old boy told Mr.. Swan
son that he was picking 200 pounds
per day and making nearly S4 per
day, in another field. One girl picked
$50 pounds the day before the visit of
the officials.
Unless many hundred pickers are
imported, this condition will ensue.

Valley, one could not tell on which

representative of the Federal Reserve
Bank at San Francisco, who arrived

Mr.. Maurer stated that he gained
the impression tnat there were few

biles than any other community he
has visited.
Imperial people should not forget
says Mr. Maurer, in amassing a for
tune in the fields, what they owe to
their country. A very small percent
age of the county's quota has been
subscribed and it is up to everybody
fere to get busy and subscribe.
The bank representative calls at
tention to the fact that after the
Spanish war government war bonds
rose to 10, although they bore but
but 3 per cent.

WILL SIZE UP
H0LTY|LLE TEAM
CENTRAL FOOTBALL WARRIORS
TO SEE GAME.
PLAY HERE IN WEEK
FOOTBALL TEAMS OUT
FOR PRACTICE.
Hi Boys More Confident Than Ever
That They Will Be Camps
of the Valley.
PLAY HERE IN WEEF
THREE FOOTBALL TEAMS OUT
FOR PRACTICE.

Almost three full teams We're on
the football field last night and the
first and second teams hel da hot and
close scrimmage. Coach Holway is
enthusiastic over the support given
by the students following Wednesdays s
rally.
"With this kind of support out every
night" he said, 1--WE can set our goal
higher than the Valley title. We
are also looking forward to the South
ern California championship"
That the Central team is being re
garded anXiously by the other teams
is shown by the different newspaper
reports from the various towns, in
which the work of the Calexco team
is praised for the way in which they
held the "heavy Central team" to a
low score, and again that the "Ca
lCNico squad must be strong, for they
held the heavy Central team to lone
touchdown"
Several members and possibly the
entire Central team will attend to-
morrow's league game at Holtville,
to take look at the playing of the
Holtville bunch before the game here
on the 9th. Reports in give the
Holtvlle team credit with being a
light but fast combination that may
spring something to the other team s
surprise.
The second eleven played a hard
game against the first team last night,
They had their own set of signals
and with their backfield combination
improving are stopping many of the
first team plays. Right End Swanson
pulled off a neat little end run that
beat out the first team defense and
scored many yards for the second
squad. 1t is thought that the Sec
end team will consider a game out
side the school later on.
Many of the new players out last
night We're Freshmen and look like
promising foundation material for flu
ture years.
