With Proposal to Unite

Belief that the policies and future
IF the organization are endangered
by the strife between some of it's Of
ficials and leaders, the Farm Bureau
is taking a prominent part in the pol
itics of the Imperial Valley Milk Pro-
Iucers' Association preparatory to the
annual meeting of the stockholders to
be held here Wednesday.
Personal dislkes and differences
over the policy which the organization
is to pursue are said to be involved
the internecine strife, which has
eliminated in lining the membership
up into two factions, both OF whom
are prepared to do battle at the
scheduled meeting.
"TEere seems to be some friction
over the question of the election OF
directors,'' said Dr. Woodbridge o.
Johnson, farm advisor, in explaining
The situation. According TO reports
reaching us this friction may have
developed a feeling that endangers
he whole future of the organization.
"With the best interests of the Or
ganization and the cause of farmers
cooperative societies at heart, the
Farm Bureau has proposed to the
leaders of the two factions and con-
lending candidates that the withdraw
and agree to support strong neutral
man.
"No matter Oh whose banners the
victory at the election rests, no
amount of negotiation can smooth
over the wrinkles during the, year Of
it's tenure of office. We cannot af-
ford to permit friction in the Valleys

THOUSANDS OF
ALIENS WILL BE
DENATIONALIZED

New York, Feb. 17.-Between So
900 and 100000 aliens of neutral
countries, who had started the ma
chinery to make them citizens of the
United States before this country en-
erred the world war and who avoid
ed being drafter into the army by
making affidavits that they had
changed their intentions to renounce
heir native country, will be forever
barred from becoming American cit
izens as the result of countrywide
action taken by Richard X. Camp
bell, commissioner of naturalization
at Washington.
This law recites that persons MAX
ing claims for exemption on the
ground that they had filed only their
first papers and did not intend to
proceed further would have their
first papers revoked and would be
debarred from citizenship in the fu-
ture. The draft boards were to send
to the Naturalization Bureau at
Washington the names of all persons
claiming such exemption, with an
affidavit by the declarant to that ef-
feet and copy of his first paper.

Bale Of Cotton
Found in Canal

That good old expression of good
luck, when my ship comes in be-
came almost literally true with B. c.
Rohberson, photographer for Water
Company No. II on the West Side
Main.
Saturday morning the waters of
the Main canal brought to his very
feet a precious cargo valued at more
than 5000. Riding on the crest of
he water was bale of cotton which,
with the seed, runs well into three
figures.
He also found a standard from a
wagon bed. Nothing was discovered
on the bale to indicate who the un-
fortunate loser might be. 1t is
thought that the cotton fell into the
canal during an accident, most prob
ably a runaway, in Mexico,

TREASURY HEAD
DENIES A RUMOR
ON WAR LOAN

Los Angeles, Feb. 17.-1n state
ment sent to Henry S. Mckee, chair
man of the Southern California Lib
erty Loan State Central committee,
Secretary Of the Treasury Carter
Glass has exploded the rumor that
the saving of more than $4,000, ,O0O,-
900 as a result of the armistice had
removed the necessity for another
Liberty Loan.
"a rumor has reached the Treas
ury that a mistake has been made
by the authorities, that from $15,-
O0O,00O,O0O to $17,000,0O0,OOO has
been returned to the Treasury as a
result of the armistice and that
therefore another Liberty Loan is un-
necessary. The rumor is absolutely
unfounded. / suppose it has it's ori-
gin in a failure to understand the
discussion of the proposel repeal by
Congress of $4,000, 100000 of ap-
preparations and authorizations. This
does not mean a return of money to
the Treasury, but cancellation of
authority heretofore given by Con-
gress to expend money in the future.
AS matter of fact, the whole pro-
ceeds of the Fourth Liberty loan
and of all previous loans had, at
the time the armistice was signed,
been expended or anticipated by
treasury certificates of indebtedness
issued during the summer and early
fall to finance the current require
ments of the government and at that
time outstanding and unpaid"

Imperial County Farm Bureau. In ad-
dition to his speeches, he will act as

KHA|R DIN To
FACE TRIAL
FOURTH TIME.
FOR" MURDER.
Oriental, Whose Case Has
Been Reversed by Ap-
peals Court, to Be Re-
turned to Ell CentrO.

Khair Din, whose sentence to a
life term in San Quentin was reversed
last week by the justices of the Dis
trict Court of Appeals, will be tried
for the fourth time on charge of
murder.
A decision calling for another trial
was made today by District Attorney
E. R. Simon, who so notified the de-
fense counsel, O. V. Wilson.
The Hindu, who began the serving
of his long sentence about six or sew
en- weeks ago, will probably be
brought back to Ell Centre within four
or five weeks to await the calling
of his case by the court. Usually a
prisoner in reversal case Is not re-
leased from the penitentiary until
after the remittur has been received
from the court, which ordinarily takes
about sixty days.
By stipulation, however, the re
moval of Khair Din back to the I'm,
perial county Jail may be accom-
plished in a shorter time. The cast
will probably not go on the calenda,
until fall.
The prosecution OF the charge:
against the Hindu has already cos
the county several thousand dollars
but the district attorney is convince,
that he can secure second convic
ton.
Khair Din is accused of the mur
der of Fareed Baksh, his former part
ner in a Tanching enterprise His frs
trial, which resulted in acquittal, wa
fer the killing of Hassan Ali, tn
second eliminated in a hung jury ant
the third in conviction.
The reversal order from the highe
court was made after the defens,
counsel had established errors by tn,
trial Judge in permitting the introduc
tion of alleged inadmissable and hear
say testimony.

A ATTORNEY IS
HERE MAKING.
HINDU.
81 7 j A L D n
Declares That Education,
AmericaniZatiOn and Or
ganizatiOn Is Proper So
luton of Question.

Bearing a special commissj jsn from
the Pacific Coast Khalsa >Biwan So
ciety, the strongest Ymdustani or
ganization in the West, Attorney NJ
P. shaughnessS os>stockton arrived
| here this morning for hasty sur
vey of the Hindu question in the I'M
perial Valley.
Admitting that conditions were not
the best. the legal visitor informed
Hindu leaders with whom he conferred
that the remedial prescription con-
sisted of education, Americanization
and organization. He pointed to the
San Joaquin valley, where he claims
that Hindu population lives IN per-
feet concord with the white resi-
dents.
From the anti-Hindu point of view,
Mr.. Shaughnessy was escorted around
the courthouse, where he was shown
that approximately 25 per cent of the
vexing court cases involved Hindu
or Hindus as principals, and was In
formed that about half of the muir
ders slated on the criminal calendar
involved these foreigners.
"There is something radically
wrong here" he confessed. "lt is so
different from conditions in the San
Joaquin, where our Hindu population
is five times greater than that of the
Valley. There our organization has
brought about this condition: There
are practically no Hindus involved in
litigation, civil or criminal.
"The first is obviated by board
of arbitration appointed from the To-
| cal branch. It's members sit in judg-
ment on all disputes and majority
of the business dealings of those not
entirely familiar with American COM
| mercial customs Cases are adjusted
to the satisfaction of everyone and
seldom is the verdict carried into a
law court.
"The reduction of civil cases to a
negligible minimum has also affected
the criminal side of the lodged, be-
cause money or business dealings, |
have found, are at the bottom of most
Hindu troubles.
"Thus by sensible system of edu-
cation and instructing, acclimating
the members to American laws, GUS
toms and ethics we have made the
greater majority of the Hindus good
citizens"
Attorney Shaughnessy bears letters
from various officials of his country,
who invariably refer to the Hindus of
the San Joaquin valley as an asset.
He says that the Khalsa Diwan So
cety will organize in the Valley and
will endeavor to improve conditions,
for the benefit of the American popu-
lation as we'll as for his own eli
ents.
The Khalsa Diwan society is re-
ligious organization with high priest
and various subordinate officers. In
order to raise the status of the Hin
du on the coast and to bring about
better understanding between the.
two races the organization has invad-
ed the Temporary affairs of its COM
municants.

Paris, Feb. 17.-France's financial
situation is being considered by the
Chamber of Deputies.
1t is expected the obligation will
reach 1872, 100000 francs, with re-
sources to meet it of $4,000, 900, 900
billion, leaving a deficit of 24,0O0,-
100000.
Other exceptional expenses, such as
compensation to civilians for war
damage, will bring the total deficit
to $4,000, 100000 francs.
In some French quarters it is sug-
gested that new distribution of war
expenses be made, as they are weigh
ing too heavily on France.

Rudolph Rotheit. correspondent OF
the Vossische, just. returned from
he east front, where he visited the
Bolshevik line and Wilma, from which
.ity he was expelled by the presi-
lent of tie Bolshevik government
after four days. He pictured the sit
lation as extremely pessimistic, al
though so far the Bolsheviki have
always been defeated by the Ger
mans whenever they ventured skir-
mishing. However, Hotheit writes,
The Bolsheviki do not rely so much
IN fighting as on corrupting oppon-
,nts by never-ceasing wireless prop
Uganda and by sending emissaries in
o the districts still occupied by the
Bermans. and upon Bolshevik litera-
ture, with which the latter's posi-
lions are flooded. Rotheit says, un-
the effect Of this prop
aganda at Kovno, headquarters of
he German commander, was only too
2vident, as in many other places on
German territory, as well as the
Russian and Polish, held by the So
,alled scutzruppen or protective
'crces and volunteers.
When Rotheit told certain Bolshe-
Xix leaders that as yet the command
~ at Kovno had some troops who
'ould be relied on in any circum-
stances, the latter replied.
"Will they remain reliable when
hey are attacked by us from the
front and bombarded from behind by
