 General Manager Charles P. Root who will make the pathhnding tour, has prom ised consideration of every application The farmers of the district are particu- larly anxious to see what the trucks will do under full capacity load over the reads of their district.
 There are countless buyers in the mid de west who are not ssold' on the motor truck, and there are many dealers and distributors who are not completely sold The great reliability contest, under tie rules which have now been issued after approval by the contest board of the American Automobile Association, will serve to demonstrate beyond all doubt the capabilities of motor trucks of every

quire no brief in California, for the
outstanding success of the various
Fruit Growers Associations in this
state have demonstrated beyond a
doubt the soundness of the principle.
. The success of cooperative market
ing as applied to cotton was amply
demonstrated last year in numerous
parts of the South, and through vari-
Gus divisions of the American Cotton
Association.
But the most striking success was
in Arizona, where the association Sc
cured such unusual results that it has
been used as an example for all the
rest of the South. Articles on the
success of Arizona association have
appeared in the Country Gentleman,
the Manufacturers Record, the Okla
homa Farmer Stockman, the Dallas
Semi Weekly Farm News, Cotton
and Cotton Oil News, and other pub
lications too numerous to mention.
What was actually accomplished by
the Arizona association for the Salt
River Valley Cotton growers last
season reads like a thriller entitled

IMPERIAL MAN
INJURED IN ACCIDENT

A rather peculiar accident yesterday
morning put c. A. Lincoln of the Ed
gar Bros. company wholesale depart
ment in the hospital for few days of
quiet.
Lincoln was doing some tinkering
on one of the company's large trucks,
getting it ready for the days run,
when the heavy steel hood in some way
fell without warning and struck him
on the back of the head. 1t nearly
knocked Lincoln off his feet, but he
did not feel bad effects for some min
utes. Then he began to suffer severe
pains in the top of his head, and was
taken to the hospital at Ell Centric.
DR.. Burger was summoned to the
case, ordered perfect quiet for few
days until there is evidence of COM
plete recovery. The patient was rest
ing easy this morning.

the money. BY bringing in outside
competition they forced the price of
seed up, by successive stages, to
over $50.
By one move, strategically done,
they boosted the local market for
cotton six cents a pound over night.
On top of that they sold to outside
mill buyers at ten cents above the
local market, and throughout the
season topped the market continuously
in their sales, finally getting $1.32
for Number Pima cotton at the
end of the season.
HOW IT OPERATES
The association operates, as a basis
for the whole scheme, an information
bureau that keeps the membership
informed as to the value of their
cotton at all times, not merely what
is being offered, but what the market
should be, based on supply and
demand basis.
ton members are placed in as good a
position to deal as the buyers.
The second service is grading, the
services of the associations licensed
grader being free to the members.
LII duVduCdSe VI having dH Official
grade are too obvious to be enumer-
ated
The third service is selling, and in
selling it was that the association
particularly shone, though there are
members for whom no cotton was
sold that value the services of the as
sociation at 500 times what it cost
them.
] GENERAL HELP
| In addition to this the association
is constantly striving to help the in
dustry in general, to arrange for fin
ancing and Freeing" cotton, to open
wider markets, to induce outside
buyers to come in and bid who were
under the impression that they had
no chance.
A representative of the association
win be lin the Imperial Valley July q
to meet with the board of directors o1
the Imperial County Farm Bureau, al
Ell Centro, together with others who
may desire to come in, and means will
bee worked out to help this section to
secure this information and selling
service.

INSANE PATIENTS
SENT TO PATTON

There were three insanity cases be-
fore Judge Cole in Superior court No.
2 yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. w. H. Gibbs was committed to
Patton for medical treatment. She
has a child which has been sick for
some time and it was though that this
is the reason for her losing her mind.
She claims that God came to her and
told her she was going to die and also
that everyone else was going to die.
1t is thought that she will recover in
a short time with the proper medical
attention.

placed under observation at the county
hospital was passed over to July 80 for
the final examination.
