COMPLETE PLANS
FOR A "Y" CAMP
IN MOUNTAINS

Yield to the lure of the mountains,
know the joy of being 5000 feet above
sea level, feel the spell of the great
forest, where the Dreze comes laden
with the rich odor of pine. Spend
two weeks in Natures wonderland
and come back keen and rested for
the summer. This is an opportunity
that fifty or seventy-five boys and
young men will take advantage of
next Monday morning, when the stage
they are to take leaves Ell Centre at
. o'clock, laden, not only with enthu-
siastic youngsters, but also with an
enormous quantity of the most
scrumptous chow ever taken to a
summer camp. This will be prepared
by absolutely the best cook in the
Valley and by being able to secure
her services everyone will be assured
the pleasure and joy that can be af-
forded alone by sitting down to a
nicely cooked, well-seasoned meal aft
ern an energetic hike in the noun
tains. The fact, though, that there
will be barbecue and that there will
be every kind of game Imaginable
baseball, tennis, boxing. fencing and
all sorts of contests, is not as i'm
portant as the question of leadership.
This has been settled by being able
to get most excellent men to take
charge of the several tents. Because
of this and the camp discipline and
influence, this outing will truly be an
experience that not one boy in the
county can afford to miss.

EX-SERv VICE
MEN WARNED
AGAINST FAKE
POLICY PLAN
Government Is investigating
Activities of Alleged Un-
Scrupu lOus Insurance
Men.

Information that some Out-of-tOwr
agents have bordered on the unscru-
pulOus in their efforts to effect a
transfer of the insurance of eX-serv-
ice men from a government policy
to that of private companies, has led
to an investigation in the Valley by
representatives of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance.
1t has been found that, while by
far the greater part of local insur-
ance agents are cooperating faith
fully and patriotically with the gov
ernment something less than score
Of eX-wearers of the khaki have been
inveigled by alleged misrepresenta-
tion or over-zealous "sales talk" to
drop their war risk insurance.
While everything possible will be
action, even to the point of prosecu-
sentatives believe that the activity
of these men can be stopped more
quickly and effectually by educating
the public.
To this end, they have issued a
warning for service men to decline
to convert their government policies
to those of private insurance con-
Germs without the fullest investiga-
tion.
eve have received information that
scme few agents-a negligible few,
am glad to say-have come danger
ously close to violation Of the law
in their efforts to secure the insur-
ance of our discharged soldiers and
Sailors" said an agent of the War
Risk Bureau.
at is important, therefore, that eX-
service men shall be informed of the
fact that they are to be offered an
opportunity of converting their pres
ent war risk insurance to standard
cold line" policies, issued by the gov
ernment, which, according to the
heads of the great life insurance
companies of America, cannot be
equaled by their individual companies.
The new policies are divided into six
different ontracts-ordinary life,
twenty payment, life, rty-payment,
life, twenty and thirty-year endow-
ment policies and endowment at the
age of 90. All policies are partici-
pating and have exceptionally liberal
cash surrender and loan values. The
actual work of conversion will COM
anence about the 18th of June, and
will be handled for all eX-service men
by patriotic life insurance agents in
this community, who have pledged
their cooperation without compen-
sation, and by the local u. S. Navy
Office, where sample pol
icies and rates can now be obtained.
"The government urges every eX-
service man to hold on to his pres
ent insurance by all means, as the
opportunity will never again be pre-
sented"

Army PlaneOn
Recruit Drive

In spite of the fact that their start
this morning was begun extremely
handicapped and endangered by the
presence of heavy fogs and light
cloud banks, Captains Appleby and
Darrow today completed a successful
nonstop flight across the mountains
from Rockwell Field to this city, ar
irving at II o'clock.
Their plans of flight originally
scheduled for yesterday were aban-
doned owing to unfavorable weather
conditions.
Captain Applebv, in command of
the planes, announced that two more
ships will follow and that Ell Centro
will in all probability witness another
thrilling flying circus on Saturday.
During the company days a lively
recruiting campaign will be conduct
ed throughout the Valley, with this
city as official headquarters, and it
is expected the visit will not only
afford a wider understanding of the
Air Service plans Of the government,
but will also create the desire and
enthusiasm among the young men of
the community that will eventually
lead to large number of enlist
mentS.

BEAN GROWERS
To GET MONEY
AID FROM J.. s,

Remuneration for the financial
losses they suffered through re-
sponse to the governments appeal for
aid in producing war supplies is in
ferentially promised Imperial Valley
castor bean growers in. letter re-
ceived here today from the Califor-
MIA Castor Bean Association.
Numerous ranchers in the county
patriotically planted various sized
acreages of the beans, from which
oil for the airplanes that were to
bomb the German lines and cities was
to be extracted Almost without eX-
ception they suffered pecuniary loss.
This the government is expected to
make up.
The notice Of the Castor Bean AS
sociation, sent under the signature OF
Henry S. Cane, president, follows:
"The California Castor Bean AS
sociation is sending out to last years
caster bean growers in the state
blank forms to be filled in by them
showing their losses in endeavoring
to raise the crop. The claims will
be presented for adjustment before
a claims committee of the War De-
partment in conformity to the relief
act of Congress.
"If, by any chance, any of the
growers in the Imperial Valley have
not received copy of this form, they
are asked to write Immediately to
the association headquarters in Santa
Barbara, applying for the blank"
1t is estimated the losses sustained
by local growers, although a sizable
crop was harvested, will amount in
round figures to more than $4,000.

Not Less Than Sixteen Big
Battleships Will Be in

Navy.
(By Associated Press)

Washington, May 2S.-Secretary
Daniels today presented the House
Naval committee communication in
which the general board urged the
rapid completion of the navy's 1916
building program.
The general board recommended
slight changes in the plans of capi-
tai ships as originally drawn
The boards communication showed
that the idea of building composite
ships to take the place of battleships
and battle cruisers has been aban-
doned temporarily at least.
The principal changes in the six
cruisers authorized in 1916 recon-
mended by the board would give the
ships additional protection at sac
rifice of speed. Secretary Daniels
told the committee that the board
was unable to say now how much
speed would be sacrificed.
Rear Admiral Mexican, acting chief
of operations, told the committee that
not less than sixteen first class bat
tleships would be kept in commits
sion as peace time force.

ASK C0ONTY
ELECT0RS~T TO
BACK HEAVY
BOND ISSUES.
Elections to Approve ST.
100000 for County High
ways and $2,500,00O for
Water Purposes.

Yesterday was bond issue day fol
Imperial Valley. Determination was
reached by two official boards to call
for an expression of the people on
the question of issuing bonds for a
total of $4,000,0O0 for good roads and
for water purposes.
The board of directors of the 1rri-
cation District started proceedings
for special election to vote So $780,
600 by instructing the secretary to
circulate the necessary petitions. The
SIGNATURES of 500 voters whose COM
bined wealth represents 20 per cent
of the assessed valuation of the coun-
ty are necessary.
the voters is declared necessary, as
the District has outstanding nearly
S80C00O in warrants, which are held
city and by Los Angeles financial in
sttutions.
AS soon as the petitions are COM
pleted and filed, the election, planned
for the first week in July, will be
called. The money is needed for the
upkeep of the canals and works in
Mexico, for work on the river and for
flood protection.
The good roads election for July !,
the same date that the question of
approval of the State Highway bond
issue will be voted on, was assured
when the supervisors gave their O. x.
to the plans for the county highway
system as finally drawn by the high
way commission.
The report of the commission, Civ
ing in detail the roads planned, was
published in last Saturday evenings
issue of The Press.
Earnest recommendation that an
endeavOr be made to secure favorable
consideration by the War Department
of the replacement of the weir in the
Colorado river were made by River
Superintendent Cronholm at the meet
ing of the District directors vester-
day morning. Mr.. Cronholm's state
ment was in writing.
The question of the removal of the
crest of the weir has been eliminated
by the floods; which have swept away
the top. Mr.. Cronholm told the board
that either the weir must be replaced,
or, in the absence of favorable con-
sideration by the Yuma Water Users
Association, the breach in the Colo
rado river at the Bee River break
must be damned. The Yuma asso-
citation has an injunction pending liz
the Yuma county superior court
against the weir and threatens to
make the court order permanent. The
directors of the association assert the
Imperial Valley is dilatory in ar
ranging for permanent diversion
point at Laguna dam.
Mr.. Cronholm indicated the need
of the weir, saying that with the river
at the low stage the surface Of the
river below the Weir would be eight
feet lower than the surface of the
water at the Hanlon gate. With the
river at flood, carrying 10000 second
feet yesterday, a pressure of Al feet
was recorded against the Hanlon
gate. At low water this is reduced to
3 of foot.
"Without a weir, four feet of the
lockwood gate would be sticking out
of the water" said Mr.. Cronholm.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
IMPERIAL BILLS

Not more than three hours before
the elapsing of the legal time limit
which would have placed the meas
ure in the category of bills which sue
cumbed by the "pocket veto" route,
the telegraphic announcement was
made in Sacramento last night that
Governor William d. Stephens had
signed he bill creating a second de-
partment of the Superior court in
Imperial county.
At the same time an announcement
was made locally which changes ma
terially the lineup of the aspirants for
judicial honors. District Attorney +.
K. Simon issued statement in which
he announced his withdrawal from the
race, with a declaration that he felt
he could best serve the county in his
present position, reserving possible
judicial honors to the future.
Late yesterday the state executive
also affixed his signature to the coun-
ty bill which increases the salaries
of a majority of the clerical employees
of the county ;also for deputies in
the legal and police departments.
AS the bill creates several new po-
sitions, appointments will probably
come thick and fast at the court
house during the next few weeks. G..
f. Scott, well known local attorney,
and Don Bitter, who was appointed
recently as special assistant, have
been named as the new deputies in
the office of the district attorney.

New Haven, Conn, May 2S.-One
/ Of the most serious riots which has
been experienced in the United States
since the close of the war was that
which last night racked this conser-
vative city. The disorders kept the
city in an uproar which eliminated
only with the arrival of strong mil

The riot was attributed by the may
or to "Bolshevik elements" taking
advantage a situation caused by
the discharge of number of service
men. The reports are that Yale un-
dergraduates hissed the Second Reg
iment band.
The police for hours could not pre-

sons for the apparently organized at
tacks. Five men were hurt, two by
bullets, and dozen were detained
pending an inquiry into the matter
There was considerable window
glass broken in the downtown section.
