the custom of challenging ones valentine

tines day" The one who said 1t first
upon meeting a person of the opposite
sex received a gift.

STEPHENS LAUOS
WORK OF LEGION
(By Associated Press)

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 23.-Highest
realization of the ideals which the
fathers of the republic fought to es-
tablish and sacrificed to maintain. is
being sought by the American Legion,
Governor William d. Steprens de-
clared in an address here today at the
Legion's second annual state conven-
ton.
"Within the short space of it's ex-
istence, the American Legion has be-
come not only the great university for
inculcation of American ideals but
also an aggressive and militant force
for accomplishment and realization of
those ideals here and everywhere
throughout the world" Governor
Stephens said. p
The governor declared the Ameri-
can Legion can and is eXerting tre-
mendous influence for maintenance
of law and order and for the eradica-
ton of abuses which interfere with
the course of good government. The
possibilities of the organization for
accomplishment of good are bound
less, he added.
"Whatever the future years may
hold in store for California is largely
in the hands of the men. who are
present today or are represented by
you in this convention. From the
ranks of your great organization
must be recruited in large part the
men who shall determine our policies
and who shall make and execute our
laws.
"All patriotic Americans, whether
eligible to membership in the ranks
of the American Legion or not, but
who hope that the ideals of Washing
ton and jefferson and Lincoln and
Roosevelt not only may be preserved
and made the guide for this and all
other nations as well, look confident
ly to the American Legion to become
the mighty champion and noblest eX-
emplar of those principles until such
time as they may be accepted and
practiced by all the world"

SIX MILES CANALS
TO Be CONCERTED

CALEXICO, Aug. 23.-Supervisor
George l.. Pulliam was out this morn
ing with superintendent Carberry of
Water Company No. l and announced
that the latter would concrete six
miles of the two canals north of the
city, the Beach and the BBirch.
In addition to this four siphons are
to be put in by Supervisor Pulliam at
the C-M lane, in Jasper district, at
the ice plant and at North Calexico.
These four will cost about $4,000 and
come as a heavy drain on the district,
but Pulliam says it is absolutely ne
cessary that they be put in now for
sooner or later this must be done and
it would be a big and expensive job
if it was done after the canals are
concreted.
The improvement is big one and
will not only add much to handling
the water by means of the concrete
bitches but will also rid the district
of four bad crossings.

An extensive investigation is being
made, it is said, into the condition of
! an extensive bed of glaubers salts
which is said to be deposited in the
valley in the region of. Pope's siding,
a short distance northwest of INLAND.
The value of this one deposit, it is
claimed, is. at present market prices in
excess of 100000. Attempts at ne
gotiations have been made before by
other companies, who have endeavored
to secure at least the working rights
on the ground. These salts are used
extensively in the manufacture of
, glass, and the extreme shortage at
the present time has so boosted its
market price as to make the project
extremely promising from a financial
standpoint.
Two representatives of eastern cap
ital, DR.. Brown and Walker came here
today from Los Angeles for the pur-
pose of getting what information they
could as to the mine. They took the
matter up with Hertel and Blackburn
who hanve handled the land for its
owner, E. N. Smith.

LINE IS OPENED
THROUGH c. OF {.

CALEXICO, Aug. 23.-Just about
noon today Inspector in Charge Brazie
of the local immigration office re-
Ell Paso, in effect practically "open-
ing the line" In other words restor-
ing it to the status it had in this
regard prior to the recent drastic
order which permitted only those with
absolute business to cross and re-
cross.
This condition was brought about
following a conversation with Inspec-
tor Brazie this morning in which he
said:
''The trouble is that we must get
our instruction by circular letter.
There is no fund for telegraphing in
our department for state department
work and if it is done it must be
at our personal expense. The state de-
partment is short of funds for this
purpose and cannot transfer any
thing to us for this purpose"
With view to facilitating mat
ters the secretary of the chamber of
commerce at once sent the following
telegram to the supervisor inspector
at Ell Paso:
Estate department advices consul
here of taking off recent border re-
strictions. If, you are so advised
please wire local officials at our ex-
pense and greatly facilitate business
at this point"
The message was effective and be-
fore noon a reply was received which
will be good news to the people of Ca
lexica and Mexicali and especially to
the merchants of this city who had a
tremendous falling off in business.
