FOUNTAIN At
MO0RE'S DOES A
BRISK BUSINESS

"Hully gee, kids! Up at Moore's
we en- git an ice cream sody for 10
cents, an a coke for nickel, and
crangeade, just like what va get at
the circus, for nickel. An we don't
have to divvy up that penny FIR war
tax, neither"
This conversation, which might be
heard anywhere where kids gather,
is used simply to bring to the pub
lies attention that at Mooker's Bak-
cry soda fountain goods, ranging
from the most luscious and dainty
dishes to cokes, are being sold at cut
prices, but without cut-quality.
Mr.. Moore, the proprietor, has in
stalled a small but modern and up-to-
the minute fountain equipment and is
prepared to meet the wishes of the
entire public. A number of tables
have been installed where the custom
er may be seated and enjoy his cold
drinks or eats at his leisure.
Since opening his fountain depart
ment Mr. Moore reports a brisk bus
mess that is growing daily as the
public becomes informed of his prices
and the quality of his goods.

Find Mesquite
Log In Earth

The find of a goodsized mesquite
log sixty-eight feet below the surface
iof the ground at Thompson's Cross.
ing, west of Imperial, is reported by
H. r. Dizney, foreman of the county
chain gang. The crew is improving
the crossing, washing down the grade
and widening the approaches.
The place where the mesquite log
was found remains exposed in the
bank, Mr.. Dizney reports. The wood
appeared to be in fair state of
preservation when first uncovered
but after a short period of exposure
to the air the wood crumbled into
dust.
No reason exists to doubt that this
mesquite was brought down the Col
orado river in the days when it regu-
larly ran into the Imperial Valley and
the whole country from Black Butte
to Indio was an inland sea.-Imperial
Enterprise.

CHARGE
ENTERS ALLEGED
FRAUD MARRIAGE

A case of interest locally, inasmuch
as its principals, Fatha Mohammed
and Miss Fulks, now the Hindu's
wife, are former Imperial Valley peo-
pie, has taken a new twist in the
courts of Yuma. A dispatch from
that city says:
"The intricate case of Fatha Mo-
hammed, who some time ago was ar
rested in Phoenix on, charge of
perjury, took another turn yesterday
when the complaint was dismissed and
new complaint for forgery was
filed by the county attorney at Yuma
ut is alleged that Fatha Moham-
med ran away with a young girl, who
was residing in the Imperial Valley.
When the couple arrived in Yuma
they procured marriage license and
were married in this city. Then the
couple went on to Phoenix.
'In the meantime the father of the
Mohamed in the Imperial Valley and
a warrant for his arrest was issued
from the Yuma courts, he being
charged with perjury.
"a few days after the warrant OF
arrest was issued against Mohamed
he was found in Phoenix and placed
in Jail. He gave a thousand dollars
bond to secure his appearance in the
Justice Court in Yuma and was re-
leased.
To-day Mohamed will be released
from his former bond, released from
cutody on the first complaint, and
then he will be re-arrested.'

EMPLOYMENT
OFFICE REPORTS
LABOR SHORTAGE

The demand for labor exceeds the
supply. Figures from the federal
employment service for yesterday
showed sixty men ordered, of which
thirty-two yere placed, leaving Q
shortage of twenty-eight men.
Ranchmen are advancing the wages

ranchmen were offering from $500
to $3.50 per day with board for ord
mary ranch-hands and cannot fill all
orders even at this advance in wage.
Common, or what is usually called
casual labor, employers offer fourty
to fifty cents per hour, and cannot
always get employees.
In respect to wages and hours
Capt. C. N. Miner, of the federal
service office, said:
"The function of the United States
Employment Service is to bring en-
ployer and employe together and let
United States EMPLOYMENT Service
absolutely has nothing whatever to dc
with wages, hours, duties, etc.
"No matter what wage the en-
ployer states he will give, the United
States agent will use his best efforts
to secure the needed help for him.
"When employe asks the United
States agent, What do they pay?
the answer will be. come on and talk
to the employer, as this service has
nothing to do with wages"

ARSON PLAN
.OF |. Y. Y.
IN VALLEY
is N|PPED
Sheriff Applestill, in an In
vestigati0n of Red Activ-
ity, UncOvers Cache Of
Firebrands.

Justifying the fears expressed in
the recent past by union labor lead
ers and peace officers, the l. w. w.,
the Bolshevik organization of Amer
ica with it's terrorist followers, have
apparently invaded Imperial county.
But due to some slip-up in their
plans or the timely Intervention of
the sheriff's office, which tipped off
the radical agents to the fact that
their schemes were known and antici-
pated, the reds have ither flown the
coop or have secreted themselves from
tn eyes of the officers of the law.
Through fortunate chain of cir
cumstances Sheriff Charles Apple
still was informed of the arrival in
the Valley of certain doubtful char
acters who were known in police cir
cles of other cities to be labor agi-
tators and to have had some sort of
connection with the Industrial Work
ers of the World.
For several days the sheriff, with
a picked force of deputies, have been
working on this information and,
while they have made some progress
in the case, they have not yet reached
a point where it is possible to make
arrests or definitely announce what
plans of campaign the reds had
formed. $50
In the course of his investigation
Sheriff Applestill has uncovered a
supposed cache of the reds, in which
he found buried a supply of phospohr-
Gus sufficiently large to fire every
haystack and grain shed in the VAL
ley.
This great chunk of chemical, in
reality fire torch, is about ten
inches long and contains phosphorus
enough to manufacture several thou
sand ordinary household matches. The
firebrand has been loaned to The
Press for exhibition through the kind
offices of the sheriff and can be seen
in the window of this newspaper.
The PHOSPHORUS, buried a foot un-
derground, was found in the bank
from the highway. The officers sur
mise that the reds have other caches
in which they have secreted their i'm
plements of warfare of sabotage and
terror and a search is on to uncover
them.
"The condition of the stick and of
the earth surrounding it indicated that
it had not been buried for any length
of time and shows clearly to me that
it was intended for campaign OF ar
son here during the summer months"
declared hSeriff Applestill.
Confirmation of this is the fact
that l received a few days ago in
formation against certain alleged un-
desirables who were supposed to be
agents of the reds. | want the pub
lie to know and serve warning here
by on the l. w. w. agents that they
had better fight shy of this county or
they will soon be behind the bars.
"While my information is not suf-
ficiently comprehensive to justify
other than supposition, firmly be-
lieve that the reds are or were plan
ming terroristic drive in this coun-
ty and l only hope that ] have nipped
their plans in the bud"
Sheriff Applestill is known
throughout the Coast as the terror
of the terrorists" 1t was through
his bravery and common sense man
ner of handling the situation that the
|. w. w. demonstrations and strikes
here few years ago were broken
up and the followers of the red or
ganization driven out of the county.

Rob 2 Homes
In Daylig ht

Emboldened by their nocturnal sue
cesses, burglars some time yesterday
perpetrated two daylight robberies.
They entered the homes of Mrs. E. F.
Short and Mrs. H. r. Johnston at
Seventh street and Broadway and,
after ransacking the houses, escaped.
While nothing of value was taken
in either house, the condition in which
the places were left indicated that the
burglars were searching for money.
At the Short home they made away
with a pound of coffee. Entrance
was secured in the Short home by
praying up a window while in the
Johnston home they forced the lock.
