In an early draft there was sent TO
one Of the environments an Austrian
who had no objections to serving in
the army but protested v1lubly
against being sent 10 France on the
ground that he had a brother in the
Austrian Army and did not wish 20
be responsible in any way for his
death. While his case was being in
vestigated at camp headquarters he
served the usual rooklcship in squads

George /. Covert and family of four

today from a transcontinental trip,
which began in New York four years
ago The pilgrimage is one of the most
unique ever made. The motive power
of Mr.. Covert, who is a cripple, is furn-

MCAbE PLANS
To PROTEST
HIGHWAY
SYSTEM
Committee Named to Con-
fer with a Lawyer; State
ments Made McCabe Was
Treated Unfairly; Action
at Once; Funds Voted.

A committee from the McCabe
district, acting under a resolution
passed last evening at the McCabe
farm center, this morning employ
ed legal talent to protest and if ne
cessary use legal means to enjoin
the county highway commission
for letting contracts, until McCabe
district receives thd1 consideration
it believes it is entitled to.
At the farm center meeting last eve
ming, Virgil Rice, explained that High
way Commissioner Thomas of Imperial
had promised him no action would be
taken before January 20. McCabe dis
trict prepared a petition, secured over
200 names and was ready to present it
only to find the commission had met
prior to January 90 and acted.
The committee consists of Geo. H.
Davis, j. L. Brock and Fred Veliquette.
Mr. Davis this morning said
"Originally the paved highway was
routed down the Date canal and this
is the way we believe it should be. The
general feeling in our district is that
pressure has been brought to bear on
the highway commissioners and they
have berouted the route. We are going
to enter a strong protest and if this
is unavailing we shall use legal means"
A second member of the committee,
Mr. Brock stated
1--WE are not making threats and we
wish the public to understand that but
we do mean to enter a strong protest.
We believe the bond issue can be effec-
tually blocked legally until our protests
are heard and justice is given us"
Mr.. Velquette stated that highway
commissioner had promised Mr.. Rice
no action would be taken until Janu-
ary 20.
McCabe residents desire the road
straight south on Eighth street to the
Mt Signal lateral from CaleXico. They
state another paved road should be
placed directly north from CaleXjco
through the Acacia district until the
state highway to Holtville is reached
thence into El Centro. 1t is pointed out
this will save 1-2 miles of paved high
way.

BOYCE ATEN POST
HOLDS / NEE TING;
TO HONOR NELSON

Boyce Aten Post No. 25 of the Amer
lean Legion went on record at its by
monthly meeting last night as being
ready to give it's hearty cooperation
and moral support for the establish
'ment of National Guard unit in the
city of Ell Centro, but did not think it
was the posts duty to take the initia-
tive steps for the organization of such
a unit in the city.
At the meeting of the board of trus-
tees and the chamber of commerce
some time ago it was decided to turn
the matter over to the American Leg
ion, and have them take the necessary
steps in having man sent to this city
from the adiutant generals office to
talk to the city and in recruiting men
for the company. John kepley and Dr.
Krutz, took the lead in the discussion
The final count was that the American
Legion would back the city trustees,
the chamber of commerce and the bus
mess men of the city in the securing
ter from the adjltant generals Office
was directed to the business men of the
city, the legion fdt it is the duty of
that body to take he leading part.
j. L. Travers, tomer president of the
chamber of commerce expressed his
views on the question this morning,
which from his standpoint, settles the
question for once and for all. Mr..
Travers stated tina he did not think the
city of Ell Centre could support COM
pany of the state militia, owing to the
fact that drill ca only be carried on
about or monhs out of every year,
and it will be necessary to reorganiZe
every fall. "Sar Diego can operate
unit to great Advantage but l do not
think it is feasible in Ell Centro," said
Mr. Travers.
Another very important step taken
at the meeting list night was motion
made by DIR. KntZ, that banquet be
given in honor # A. M. Nelson OH his
return from Washington next week. At
that time it is suggested that the rep
resentative of tie American Legion eX-
plain to the mmbers the exact stand
ing to the ketner bill. The entertain
ment committee was put to work on the
plan and the date for it will be an
nounced later. 1t was also suggested
that the posts of the Valley be invited
to attend the affair along with the
Spanish war vterans, and the G. A. r.
for as the Ketner bill now stands. all
eX-soldiers of any war are entitled to
file on the lali if the bill is passed.

agent, this afternoon.
According to Mr.. Sparks this is an
increase of 25 percent over the 1919
acreage. Last year there We're 1883
acres under cultivation. and 1888 cars
shipped out of the Valley. This year
it will take approximately 9,574 cars
to ship the crop to the market.
The crop turned out of Imperial
valley last year was reported the larg-
est in the history of the Valley, and
was expected to be the climax, but the
market demand for Imperial grown
melons prompted the growers to in
crease the acreage 25 percent.
Along with the figures, given out by
Mr. Sparks he stated that four of the
largest growers in the county We're
yet to be heard from. There are 27 dis
tributers in the Valley, % reported to
Mr.. Sparks the acreage they have un-
der cultivation.
Last years gross receipts totalled
$4,000, 900. With a steady and sound
market, at last years figures. it is pre-
dicted that the returns from the 1920
crop will BE better than $11 500, 900.
The first of the 1920 cantaloupes will
