SERVICE
IN VALLEYS
HISTORY
GIVEN

Imperial Valley has received
the best water service for d num-
ber of years this year. This is the
assertion of General Manager Per-
ry of the Irrigation district in
report filed at the district offices.
During the last two weeks in Sep
tember there were 1866 second feet
cf water ordered and 40,758.65 sec
ond feet delivered. This was on the
American side of the line. On the
Mexican side 1927 feet were ordered
and 1S,297.29 feet delivered.
Mr.. Perry goes on to say:
"The peak demand for the summer
crops for this year may now be said to
have passed
"Our water order at Hanlon Head
ing, which, in July was $500 second
| feet, was reduced cn Sept. to 500
second feet, and has since that date
| been further cut down until today it
lis but $500 second feet.
''We have this year succeeded for
the first time in carrying this water
without one break, which means that
not even in one locality has there been
temporary disarrangement of the
service.
Eve have been able to do this, not
, by virtue of any superior wisdom or
| even by reason of having exercised
unusual viligance in patrolling those
canals, but due entirely to the culma-
tive effect of the program of the past
four years. Should this program be
followed for another II months We
may expect still better service.
| eve still have one or two very dam
gerous stretches which must be rem
edied. If these are taken care of, we
may indulge in feeling Of security;
! but if they, and the entire system Of
canals, are not improved and main
tanned, it will take but a short time for
, it to go back to where it was in 1915
when breaks, instead of being the ex-
ception, were the rule.
Even though work on the all-Amer-
lean canal be commenced tomorrow,
we must realize that we must until
it is actually completed be dependent
upon the Alamo canal and that the
service we get out of it will be in di-
rect proportion to the time and eff
fort we expend upon its upkeep."

NEWSPA MAN
WITH $1,000 IN !
CASH LOSES Il

EDITORS NOTE-This is Il
good story. There is only one weak
point in it and that is, whoever
heard of newspaper man with
$1,000?
More than a week ago Councilman
William Reams was walking along the
street when he noticed a pocketbooll
on the side walk. Mr.. Reams picked it
up and was dumbfounded to find more
than $1,00 in cash in it.
He came to the Press office and ask
ed if any one had advertised for poe
textbook and was informed no such adv.
had been placed in the paper.
Further inquiry at the Barbara
Worth disclosed the fact that an east
ern newspaper man who was visiting
in the valley for the first time had re-
ported the loss of the pocketbool.. He
had been called east before a search
could be made.
The pocketbook was duly forwarded
and in due time letter was received
by Mr.. Reams asking him how much
reward he dsired
Mr.. Reams replied that he desired
none, if the owner would promise to
boost for the Imperial Valley. The
promise was made and somewhere in
the east there is real live booster
for Imperial valley and the honestly of
Imperial valley people.

ayers of the Ewing Fair Company ask
ed the Mason County Poultry Asso-
citation to take charge of the poultry
exhibits at the big Ewing Fair this
year and that that organization is 60
ing to do 1t properly and give to those

hibition Of fowls, is atiested by the
fact that in special freight car over

Besides these Mason county fowls
there will also be good showing OF
Fleming county chickens and the poul-

MAYSVILLE UNIONS
PLANNING Big LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION
Grand Parade Through the City Of the
Union Men and Women Of the City
VIII Be One Big Feature-Pe0-
pie Will Be Shown the
Strength Of Organized
Labor Here.

No plans for the celebration of La
Dor Day in Maysville have been made
by any outside organization, those Or
ganizations realizing that the labor
organizations in Maysville and Mason
county were now large enough to ham
die themselves their big holiday in
the proper manner. In the past out
side organizations have handled the
celebration and the union men and wo-
men have taken part but this year the
celebration will be entirely in their
hands, others helping this time.
Plans are already being made for
the big Labor Day celebration and
demonstration on Monday, September
/. The first organization to take ac-
ton was the live, wide awake Carpen-
ters' Union and they are being joined
by the BARRIERS, the Clerks, the Brick
Layers, the Cigar Makers and others.
Plans have not been definitely an
nounced but 1t is known that they in
clude big party at Beechwood Park
and a grand street parade of union
members and Mason county.
The growth of union organizations
in Maysville has been steady and slow
until the people of Maysville little
realize the number of people in MAYS
VILE who work every day under the
Iprotection of the union label. The in.
tention of this parade is to show tC
the people Of Maysyille, who have moi
been brought in direct contact witt
the labor organizations and who de
not know to what extent they reacf
here at home, Just how many people
are affiliated with the labor organiza
tons. As the Labor Unions hope t.
demonstrate their strength in this pa
/ rade, there will be desperate effor
, made to have every union man ant
, woman in Maysville in the line o
, march and there is no doubt but tina
, 1t will make a parade. the length o
, which is not now reanzed by thos
e who are not in possession of the mem
/ bership of the various organizations
There will be other interesting fea
lures arranged for the day which will
be announced in due time. 1t is enoug
:. now to say that the entire celebration
: will be in charge Of organized labo
l and 1t will be their day from sun ris
I until midnight. Make preparation
now to have big day with the unio
laboring men and women on Labo
Day.

into court and make complaint ant
furnish argument against the closing
IL they so desire. The case will pro
bably be- heard in the September tern
