OFFICERS SEARCH
FOR SIXTEEN
YEAR OLD GIRL

Mr.. and Mrs. d. A. White, who
live two miles north of Imperial, this
afternoon appealed to the sheriff's
office to aid in locating Minnie, their
handsome 16-year-old daughter, who
disappeared yesterday.
The parents fear that some Hin
dus, who work on the ranch, have
been responsible or implicated in the
girls disappearance.
The girl was last seen at l o'clock
yesterday afternoon when she told
her little sister that she was going
to the house for few minutes When
the family, whose members had been
working in the fields, became appre-
hensive and made a search, they
found that the girl had gone off aft
er packing a few articles in choco-
late colored travelling bag.
Sheriff's deputies scout the fears
of the parents and believe that the
girl has run away because Of dis
satisfaction with conditions at home
and because of the necessity Of her
working in the fields.
She is described as being 16 years
old, 5 feet tall, weight 1876 pounds,
and blonde. She wore blue cordu-
roy coat and green checked skirt.

MEXICAN CASTOR
BEANS B f E "A X
THRESHER BELT

Progress in threshing the Valleys
castor bean crop was checked Tor
more than half day Saturday when
the big belt carrying the motive pow
er from the tractor to the separator
broke.
]. d. Conrad, who is doing thresh-
ing north of the Globe Mills ware
house, had begun on the crop OF Rob
ert Barnhaus, Jr., of Calexico, which
was raised in Mexico, when the mis-
hap occurred The Barnhaus beans,
Mr. Conrad found, are still some
what green and consequently diff
cult to hull. After hulling, seven
sacks it became necessary to aban-
don the job altogether, as, besides
being too toug, it developed that the
screens now used in the thresher are
too fine of these particular bans.
Mr.. Conrad wired for coarser
screen, pending the arrival OF which
he began work on other crops.
The Barnhaus crop is the largest
vet brought to Imperial. The beans
in the bulk weighed $4,000 pounds,
according to the figures given Mr..
Barnhaus when he crossed the line:
The next crop hulled was that OF
Freeman & Holloway of Mesquite
Lake. which amounted to % sacks,
weighing 2722 pounds, or SO bushels
and 8 pounds.
The beans are coming in fast from
ali parts of the valley. A carload
arrived yesterday morning from
Holtville. Mr.. Conrod has word that
a coy ;S comino. from Calipatria and
one. also, from Calexico.
Fred Lang, rancher near Imperial,
who has twenty acres of the beans,
called at the thresher Thursday to
announce that he had not gathered a
single pod as yet, but would get busy
at once,

THREATEN To
MAKE War IN
OLD c / | \ A
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 11.-Representa-
tives of the Associated Press are ap-
prehensive over Japan's attitude to-
ward China in the peace conference.
According to official diplomatic in
formation, Japan has virtually
threatened to make war if China
makes public the secret treaties be-
tween the two countries and fails
to maintain the agreement to make
Japan the successor of Germany in
the rights and property concessions
which Germany held at the outbreak
of the war.
China is relying on the Peace
Conference and is seeking the sup
port of the United States and Great
Britain.
Advices from the Orient say that
when the American minister at Pc
king sought to give reassurances of
the friendship of the United States
the Chinese foreign minister frankly
said he did not see how the United
States and Great Britain could di-
vert attention to the Orient when
the European situation demanded sc
much attention.
1t is disclosed that when the Chi.
nese peace delegates arrived in Paris
they reported that the copies of the
secret treaties had been stolen from
their baggage in Japan and that they
were unable to make them public
Advices state that the Japanese min
lister at Peking pointed out to the
Chinese foreign minister that Japar
has million men fully equipped fol
long war, has more than half q
million tons of shipping, and init
mated that they would be ready on

CALEXICO FAVORS
NEW HOSPITAL
AS A MEMORIAL

Calexico-The Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial Association of Calexico is
unanimously in favor of a memorial
hospital. '"t 4
The concensus of opinion was that
the association should go ahead with
its work in earnest and that while
the erection of the memorial would
be delayed for some time, perhaps
until next fall, the great mass of
preliminary work required would be
gotten under way and everything ar
ranged at this time.
The members Of the association
are very much in earnest and it is
believed the problem will be solved
and that Calexico will have a hospi-
tai. Chairman Leonard of the hos
pital committee of the Chamber of
Commerce is heartily in favor of a
hospital as a memorial and along
with others will work hard for the
project. .w

SUIT AGAINST
DAIRY MEN 6
ORGANIZATION
IS DISMISSED
Action Attaching the Con-
tract System of the As
sOciatiOn Is Withdrawn
by Mrs. Edwards.

Acting through her attorney, Mrs.
Minnie Edwards late yesterday dis
missed the action she instituted some
time ago against the Imperial VAL
ley Milk Producers Association. The
cause for the dismissal was not as
signed, although it was positively de-
clared the case was not settled out
Of court.
The suit promised to be one of the
most interesting and important filed
here in many months, as favorable
court action on the plaintiffs con-
tentions would have attacked the
hundreds of contracts held by the
milk producers and would have been
a body blow for the cooperative or
ganization.
Mrs. Edwards esked for small mon
etary damages, return of promissory
notes which she surrendered to the
association, and the establishment of
her right to withdraw from member
ship or to market any or all of her
produce outside the association.
The complaint contained sensa-
tional attack on Colonel Harris Wein-
stock, state market director, charg-
ing him with using his official posi-
ton to establish monopoly in the
state, designed to force the price
of butter up through trust methods
Mrs. Edwards alleged that she
had been misled by solicitors in join.
ing the association and declared that
others were in the same boat. The
filing Of the suit is said by asso'
citation officers to have afforded its
commercial enemies an opportunity
to plaster the state with propaganda
against the farmers cooperative
movements.

May Be Held to Prevent
Shipment of M II nitiOns
and Arms.

The Supreme War Council, al
though hearing TIE claims Of the
Belgian delegates in support of the
French view that their country should
be protected until on the same foot
ing as Germany, is expected to re-
fer the matter to the Economic com
mittee of the Supreme Economic
Council. which is about to be organ
lied. 1t is expected that this council
will consider the French and Belgian
proposals that Eseen and other Ger
man industraial towns should be oc-
cupied to prevent the manufacture of
munitions and arms. This is a ques-
ton which bears on the ability of
Germany to pay heavy indemnities
through the products Of industry and
if the American view that the sup
preston Of Germanys' munitions pro-
duction can be assured by a system
Of authorized inspection by Entente
agents, this would permit German in
dustries to continue with safety to
the Allies.
The French and Belgians plead
that they should be permitted to re-
coup their enormous losses by the
destruction of their industrial plants
through stoppage of German indus
tries until France and Belgium have
been rehabilitated, is met by the
American view, which is shared by
the British, that such losses should
he reimbursed by cash indemnities
from Germany within a reasonable
time. The Supreme Economic Coun-
Gil can regulate the distribution of
raw material to insure France and
Belgium proper advantage over Ger
many and to prevent the latter from
gaining the worlds market.
1t is believed that arrangements
for extension Of the armistice can
be completed quickly when these fea-
lures have been settled.
