Navy Flyer Rescued by Mex
lean Soldiers About Time
Report of Army Officers
Rescue.
HIS MESSAGE FROM
LOWER CALIFORNIA
Notified His Commanding
Officer of His Loss in
Mountains and of Being
Found by Cantu's Men.

That Aviators Waterhouse and Con-
nelly are dead and probably met their
death on the night of the day they
were scheduled to report at Rockwell
Field is the general belief, now that
the report to Colonel Barrancas, COM
mander of the garrison at Mexicali
of their rescue in the mountains back
of Ensenda has been disaproved'
The suggestion is made that the mis-
take was confusion Of identity of
Waterhouse and Connolly with the
naval auciator who sent word to his
station two days after the reported
rescue of the army officers that
he had been forced to land in Lower
California mountains and that he had
been recued by detachment Of Mexi-
can soldiers.
Prior to this message it was not
known that the naval aviator was lost
and the report of his rescue was rath-
er obscured in the excitement of the
searth for Waterhouse and Connolly.
While it may be some one purposely
misled Col. Barrancas it does not seem
probable in view of the fact that the
reccue of naval aviator was in the ter
ritory described as that in which Wat
erhcuse and Connolly were found.

No Gas Shortage
At Liue Oaks

A telegram message received to-
day from Manager Davenport at Live
Oaks mountain resort, stated that
Valley autoists need have no fear of
gasoline shortage in the mountains
as a supply of over thousand gal
Ions had been provided at Campo.
Mr.. Davenport also stated that
everything was in READINGS for the big
two-day Labor celebration at the
camp, and that Live Oaks had accom-
modations for hundreds of visitors.
The Labor day celebration begins
with big dance this evening, and a
real Jazz orchestra will be on hand to
furnish music. The indications are
that many valley people will spend
the two-day holiday at Live Oaks.

farming which are coming into vogue
with such rapidity in all parts of the
United States, and elsewhere in the
world.
And, then, perhaps we shall witness
a revival of the small flouring-mill
business in our communicate was an
evil day when the village flour mill
disappeared. Cooperative farming
will vet become so developed and per-
fected that we shall see associations
of farmers with their own packing
houses in which their own hogs will
be turned into ham and bacon, with
their own flour mills in which their
grain shall be turned into commercial
foodstuffs.
Why steer raised in Texas should
be brought to Chicago and then serv-
ed in Boston is a question that can
not be answered on good business
principles so long as there could be
raised near Boston all the steers that
city needs. This Capitalization of food
manufacturing industries, entailing as
it does enormous costs for transporta-
ton and organization, is one very SER
ious cause Of the era of prohibitive
prices in which we find ourselves.

SUPERVISORS
WILL MEET To
FIX TAX RATE
ON TUESDAY

Next Tuesday is the day upon
which the supervisors are required by
law to meet for the purpose of fixing
the tax rate for the present fiscal
year.
This does not necessarily mean that
the rate will be fixed on Tuesday for
if the supervisors are not quite ready
to proceed, they may report to the eX-
pedient of taking a recess and such
other recesses as they may deem ex-
pedient before they come to their fin
al decision.
The action taken by the supervisors
some time ago, of doubling the valua-
tions fixed by the assessor will make
whatever the tax rate determined upon
very much less than it has been here
tofore, although this does not mean
that the actual sum paid by the tax
payer will be any less.
At the time the supervisors touk
the action of raising the valuation,
they stated that it was not their ex-
pectation that the tax burden would
be any greater this year than it was
last; that every effort was being
made to keep the budget down. The
assumption, therefore, is that the rate
for general county purposes will not
be more than one-half of what it was
last year.

He was well-built, ruddy-faced

all the earmarks that identify man
born south of the Mason and Dixon
line and stopped The Press man to
ask a question. During the converse!
ton that followed, it developed that
his name was Clark and that he was a
Kentuckian.
"Any relative to Champ" he was
asked.
"He is distant cousin of mine,"
was the reply and by natural grada-
tion, the conversation turned to I'M
perial Valley and hogs.

you folks don't raise more hogs. You
ought to have about five times as
many hogs as you have people in this

go around. They tell me that you

hogs killed in the Middle West.

"You seem to go in good deal for

for every pound you put on steer
you can put five pounds on a hog
with the same amount of feed they
consume.
GAS far as I can see you've got
everything to make great hog rails
ing section here and with prices what
they are you ought to be rolling in
hog money. You've got everything you
need to feed and fatten them. Here
you are selling thousands of tons of
milo maize that you could turn into
several times as much money by
feeding it to hogs.
'It seems to me that your farmers
ought to get together if they haven't
already done so and go in for hog
raising association; and go few steps
further, establish a small packing
house and go in for producing your
own smoked meat, starting with the
idea of just taking care of your own
wants in both smoked and fresh hog
meat, but preparing to branch out

there is no reason why you couldn't
sell all the ham and bacon you put

got there about a million and a half
people to draw upon and that's big
enough market for any one.
"If | wasn't too old. I'd tackle it
myself but city life's spoiled me for
