ARMY VETERAN
ON NEW JOB

WASHINGTON, July 30-A civil
engineer with Is years experience,
while in the army was thrown from a
horse and broke his right leg. Neuri-
tbs developed in his left leg and right
arm, so crippling him that he has to
depend on crutches to get around. In
spite of his serious disability, this
man, forty-five years of age, has en-
tered upon course at the university
of Pennsylvania, stpdying business
methods to qualify Kim to handle his
former work from an executive stand
point.
The Federal Board OF Vocational
Education has hundreds of others just
such plucky men, studying under its
charge. A letter addressed to 200 New
Jersey avenue, will reach this board.

organization without benefit or ac-
counting.
If the local unit can get free, the
Press wants to know why in Heavens
Name it delays action.
Why not put these huge sums which
are now going to Sacramento into the
cream checks of local dairymen?
The Press further asks that the
Farm Bureau or some other institu-
tion which has an effective "investi-
eating committee" or inquisitorial
board ascertain from the inner circle
of the local unit why it allows Hen
derson's local mouthpiece, the Pro-
gress, to deliberately misrepresent the
powers and purposes of the state as
sociation.
In it's issue of July 7th under
headline California Associate Dairy
men Described the Progress speaking
of the state organization said: "It has
no business other than to market the
products of the six cooperative milk
of the state, and has
no power to incur any debts"
The foregoing is as vicious a false
and lying statement as could be pre-
sented to local dairymen who want
the truth in the present situation.
This deliberate deception shows how
ready the Progress editor is to be-
tray the dairymen of this valley into
the speculative schemes of the state
promoters.

THE MAYOR

has something up his sleeve
far greater than the dream
of oil - but the known
presence of oil in San Diego
and Imperial counties would
be the great forerunner of
wonderful, big things for San
Diego and the Arizona Rail-
road.
Will you help find this missing
link?
How can you knock the man
and the plan that might multi
ply values of every foot OF
ground in San Diego county a
hundred times?
If you cannot come IN ana
boost the fellow who is sitting
up nights to bring prosperity
to all alike-then stay out and
knock, so he will know how to
treat with you when some
dreams come True.
This community oil well will
be the first crusade of the
Live Wires for immediate ac-
ton versus the Deao and Dis
located.
No property belonging to
city accepted.
I will never disappoint you
when you trust me-but al
ways when you don't.
If there is enough encourage
ment this we'll will be started
at once; if not, we will kill it
while in flower.
There will be no begging or
pounding or discourteous at
tacks or narrowing drives or
extravagant promises made.
II buried wealth cannot be
raised or exploited by plain
talk, square deal and a COM
munity chance, then we will
drift back to the toreado and
toreadores plan of leeching

waiting and watching policy.
