Washington, Feb. 6.-Lithuania
will ask the United States to guide
it in establishing a stable govern
ment, according to an announcement
today at the headquarters of the
Lithuanian National Council here. 1t
was said thata the request would be
made by the cabinent established by
National Council, which is the pres
ent governing body in Lithuania.
"W'hile Lithuania has established
itself as free people," said the an
nouncement, at reolizes that it can
gain stability more readily if stead
led by some great nation. 1t has
no ambition other than govern
.ment by the people who logically be-
long to it, and has every reason to
believe that the League of Nations
will properly define it's boundaries.
1t will place it's destinies in the
hands of that league and ask that
the United States, it's model in gov
ernment, be assigned as the direct
ing agency until it acquired DEM

PASSES AWAY

Catching cold on an automobile
trip from San Diego into the VAL
ley about ten days ago, Mrs. w. W..
Weir, wife of Professor Weir of the
faculty of the University of Cali
fornia, passed away here last night
after an illness of but a few days
from combined attack of influenza
and pneumonia.
Mrs. Weir came to the Valley, ac-
companying her husband, who has
just begun the work of making a
drainage survey for the entire coun-
ty. In the short time that she has
been here Mrs. Weir made many
friends by her charming manner and
sweet presence.
The body was taken to the under

of relatives of the family.

Ell Centre, Cal, Peb. 6, 1919.-To
tie Editor of The Imperial Valley
Press-Dear Sir: l notice that at
the carnival now being held here, the
old game of throwing balls at a
colored man is being engaged in. AS
a colored man and representative of
the race, l have no objection to that
part, but it seems that an injustice
is done when a representation of the
Kaiser is placed alongside and in
connection with the colored man. The
colored people of this country sup
ported the government loyalty, both
with men and money, and in any po-
sition they have been placed in, at
home and on the battlefield, showed
their stamina and patriotism. 1t
seems that such display is unjust
to the colored race and not conducive
to the hest iiterests of either of the
races. Surely the colored man should
not be placed alongside any repre-
sentation of the Kaiser. 1t is un.
fair in it's conception. I simply call
the attention of the people of Ell
Centre to this proposition as being
in my judgment, unfair to the col
ored race. WARREN LOVE.

Ministers and Priests Shall
Strictly Obey Imperial
County's Bone Dry Law,
Rules the Board.

Clergymen and priests, in spite of
their denominational ritual, are not
above the law.
This, in substance, was the de-
cision of the county board of super
visors in declining to grant per-
nit for importation of wine to be
used for sacramento purposes.
The Nichols liquor ordinance
which makes Imperial county the
dryest county legally in the entire
state, does not make any exceptions
in the importation and use of Ii
quors and in this regard is even more
strict than the strictest prohibition
laws heretofore drawn.
Because of the fact that the i'm
portation of light wines to be used
in celebrating the communion in one
or two local churches made them
violators of the law, the rectors of
the congregations requested the su-
pervisors to make a ruling to except
them from it's provisions.
The supervisors, however, declined
to act on the premise that anv eX-
ceptions should be made and because
of desire to make the desert still
dyer in the matter of intoxicating
liquors.

FARM BUREAU.
IN CAMPAIGN
TO ERADICATE
HOG CHOLERA
Experts on Tour of the I'm.
perial Valley Find Costly
Evidences of Ravages of
the Disease.

Hog cholera has invaded the I'M
perial Valley and duri6g the past
thirty days has caused a loss to the
ranchers and hog raisers of several
thousand dollars. While the conta-
gion is not widespread, the Farm
Bureau has already launched cam
peign of determination.
With DR.. j. w. Logan, federal eX-
pert in animal husbandry, who is,
at present attached to the staff of
the University Of California, DR..
Woodbridge o. Johnson, farm advis-
er, is making a tour of the county
conducting a series of hog demon
strations showing the farmer how to
meet the situation.
The quickest way to determine the
presence of an infectious disease is
to sacrifice a sick animal or one un-
der observation-a sacrifice of SIS
to $20-and perform post mortem
by cutting the animal open. This is
being done by the experts where sus-
piciou circumstances have cropped
up.
Should the presence of infection
be ascertained, the remainder of the
animals in the drove are segregated
and vaccinated, under the plan of the
Farm Bureau to combat the spread
Of the virulent and deadly epidemic
"After winter in which we were
singularly free from contagious dis
eases, we have found several cases
of cholera among the hogs of the
Valley" said DR.. Johnson today in
discussing the situation. ~"The situa.
tion is not alarming, but every care
should be taken to prevent it's spread
which would be costly alike to the
individual as we'll as to the entire
Valley.
"Much care should be exercised ir
buying. New hogs should not be
placed in the pens with your own
healthy animals. They should be iso,
lated or kuarantined for period OF
twenty-one days. In that time any
infectious disease will crop out.
"Vaccination is the best preven-
tative, for there is no treatment or
cure after hog is infected with the
disease. In the past few months Val
ley ranchers have lost the equivalent
of several thousand dollars through
the ravages of cholera"
Drs. Johnson and Logan report
great interest among the farmers in
the demonstrations and predict that
as a result of the educational cam
paign the disease will soon be
stamped out.

CONERER!ES. AGREE
ON .REVENUE
MEASURES
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 6.-Conferees
have reached an agreement on the
war revenue bill submitted to Con-
gress. 1t presents the American peo-
Pile with the prospective tax budget
for the next two years. 1t is in
tended to raise more than $6,000,-
100000 this year and $4,000,000, 900
next year. The conference report is
regarded as assured of adopted and
it has the approval of the president.
The bill slightly increases excess
profits rates of 1919 and corporation
rates of 1920.
The principal increases which the
conference adopted We're raise in
the corporation income rate for 1920
from 8 to 10 per cent.
Important general legislation and
riders which the conferees adopted
included prohibitory tax on the pro-
ducts of child labor; restoration OF
pre-war letter postage rates; $50 bo-
nus to all persons in the military
establishment: taxation of salaries of
federal officials.
Effective May I, the new tax
would require consumers to pay l

Voters, We Thank You.

The battle is over, and J.
Stanley Brown, pledged for an
All American canal and for ALL
American interests, has been
seated by the sovereign voters
of the District as a director of
the Imperial Irrigation District.
Inasmuch as The Press sup
ported Mr.. Browns candidacy
against the judgment and APP
peals of some Of our best
friends and advertisers, believ-
ing that he was the man best
qualified for this important job,
we are naturally pleased that
the voter vindicated our judg-
ment. Also we can hardly re-
sist pulling that old 'un: "I told
you So"
Growing does no one a bit of
good, so any satisfaction The
Press is to get for aiding in put
ting over this victory will come
from the fulfillment by Mr..
Brown of his All-American
plataform and pledges.
Right here, we want to say
to Mr.. Brown that, while we
supported him in his race and
will be behind him in evrything
seeking the greatest good for
the greatest number of people
in the Valley, we will just as
unhesitatingly fight him the
minute he exhibits the least
temerity or objection to ALL
American interests.
The warning, we do not be-
lieve, is necessary, because we
know that Mr.. Brown is a man
whose word is as good as his
bond and feel sure that he will
be a power for advancing the
development of the Valley and
will aid in the solution of our
water problems. ~.

The government is still maintain
