STOCK TRANSFER
COMPLETED TO
EDGAR BROTHERS

With the opening in Brawley last
Monday of the newly purchased hard
ware department of Varney Bros. by
Edgar Brothers, the opening of the
same department in this city yester-
day by Edgar Brothers and the COM
ing opening in Calexico Monday, the
formal transfer of the large hardware
stock Of Varney Bros. to Edgar Broth

Twelve stores in the Valley and a dis

to handle the growth of Edgar Brothers
business. One of these is located at
Calipatria, two at Brawley, three at I'm
perial, three at Ell Centro, two at Holt
vile and two at CaleXico.
Manager Wisham of the local branch
will have charge and will be assisted by
Mr. Erickson, temporary manager for
the department under Varney Brothers.
J. II. Edgar, president Of Edgar

would be the policy Of the company to
build up the stocks as rapidly as poss-
ibls and give the Valley the same effici-

CALEX|CO HOWtS
At ADVERTISING
OF S.D.&A. ROUTE

Calexico is up in the air over the ad-
vertising of the San Diego G. Arizona
railway which CaleXico says is boosting
Ell Centre.
The border town also objects to pay
Calexfco to San Diego when 40 cent
ticket to Ell Centro and $5.40 ticket
from here will save Sill.
Here is letter written to D. w. Pom
tius:
Calexico, Dec. 80,
d. w. Pontius, Esq, General Manager
S. d. & A. Ry., San Biego, Calf.
Dear Sir:-More than week ago l
wrote you regarding the discrimination
in rates by your road from San Diego
to the Valley in favor of Ell Centro, but
have had no reply.
However, daily protests are being fill
ed with me and 1 am compelled to again
direct your attention to what I believe
is a great injustice to this city-the city
of the largest volume of business in the
entire Valley.
There appears to be an unfortunate
impression at the other end of the line
regarding Ell Centro which is the coun-
ty seat of the Valley, but not Imperial
valley by a long shot, and not even the
leading business city or second in this
line.
Briefly stated CaleXico has the largest
annual business By a safe margin; it
had the largest quotas in all war work
and made the largest subscriptions to
each liberty loan and to all other funds
during the war it's being based on bank
resources.
at produces fully one-third of the
total of the Valley products and has tri-
butary to it more acres under intensive
cultivation than any three other cities
in the Valley. Its products this year
will reach $2O,0OO,0OO.
The population of CaleXico city is, ac-
cording to the city census, nearly 1000
but to this must be added the 10000 be-
low the border, all tributary to Calexico.
The imports at the port of Calexico
for three years, not including this ban
ner year., have been over $4,000, 900
while for all other ports in Southern
California, including San Diego and
Los Angeles, the total was little over
$9,000,000.
/ am directing your attention to this
so that you may consider the matter in
different light and if possible elimin-
ate from your advertising, or rather the

AUSTRIA TAXES WEALTH
TO MEET ALLIED DEMANDS
Expected to Produce One Billion
Crowns Toward Needs of
Nation.

Vienna. Aug. 1.-The tax on wealth
bill has been adopted by the Assembly
after including in il the amendments
proposed by the Preparations Commission.
These amendments, which caused much
criticism, we're designed TO prevent the
bill contravening terms of the Peace
Treaty or conflicting with the Entente 5
proposal of MAY u, 1920 for a bond
issue to cover present or future credits 20
Austria.
Chancellor Renner, in presenting the
amendments, said he did so because
national misery forced the country TO
comply with Allied demands.
Foreign Minister Bauer said with bit
terness that il was the first time IN his
tory a foreign power ever drafted and
forced acceptance Of amendment to
legislation pending IN the legislature
of another state. He was cheered loudly
Social Democrats during the debate
charged that Christian Socialists had at
tempted to defeat the measure by in
spring bankers and representatives of
"big business TO go to the Reparations
Commission to point out the dangers
of the bill. When Deputy Friedman
admitted doing so and began a defense
of his course there were cries of Traitor
Hang HIM" A group of members made 2
rush for Friedman but he hid under n

DEMOCRATS GET CREDIT
FOR SUFFRAGE VICTORY
Mrs. Bass Says Women Will be
Grateful to Cox and
Tennessee.

New York, Aug. 81 The women of the
country will give the Democratic State
of Tennessee credit for being the final
State TO ratify the woman suffrage
amendment and the Democratic Party
and Governor Cox the credit for enfran-
chising them, Mrs. George Bass, Chair
man of the Woman's Bureau of the Demo
cratic National Committee, declared yes
terday in statement issued at Demo-
cratic National Headquarters.
Mrs Bass said the Legislatures of Re-
publican States were willing to ratlfy
the amendment when they did not ex-
pect the amendment to be adopted, and
that the Republican Party was willing
TO firt with the women, but that the
true Republican position on woman suf-
frage was shown when it was necessary
to get the tbirty-sixth State To complete
ratification.
''At any time during the past five
months it has been within the power of
Republican State to complete the en-
reimbursement of women in this cotln-
trv," said Mrs Bass. Delaware has
a Republican Governor and Republican
Legislature and they noisily voted down
ratification.
Vermont has Republican Governor
and Republican Legislature, and yet
the Governor of Vermont refused repeat
edly to call the Legislature into extra
session to ratify this amendment. Con-
necticut has Republican Governor and
Republican Legislature, and yet the
Republican Governor of Connecticut re-
fused repeatedly to give the Legislature
a chance to ratify the amendment.
Mrs. Bass said that the attitude of
Senator Harding on woman suffrage had
been either hostile or evasive. His
faint suggestions 10 Republican mem
bers of the Tennessee Legislature to
vote in favor of ratification had been
more than nulhfed, she said. ''by in

MUKPd1 WAS ELECTROCUTED.
Coroner's Jury Says Weak Heart was
Contributory Cause.

In the case of the death of Robert E.
Murphy, S35Monroe street, an electrician
who died several days ago while at work
on the roof of a building at 3007 Wash
ington street, the coroner's jury last night
rendered verdict of accidental electrocu-
ton IL was declared that the voltage of
the wires was only ITO, but under certain
circumstances this was sufficient to cause
death.
The opinion of the jury seemed to be
that the man possibly had weak heart
and that the dampness of the tin roof
and the uncomfortable position in which
he was lying probably combined to make
the shock more effective. There were no
marks of any kind on Murphy and he was
wearing gloves at the time of his death.
