With an opening practically unchanged on Liverpool much lower than due there soon developed general buying by those who werek short and the market was called steady throughout the session
 There was an early rumor that the peace treaty would be signed in the United States Senate today, which caused a general covering by those caught short

 All surrounding conditions were bearish today. except the cotton goods market, which continues firm at high prices. As trade interests were good buyers, shorts taking note started to cover, which added to the upward i'm pulse.

Southern California:
Los Angeles to Imperial Valley-It
is possible to use the Ocean to Ocean
Highway via Beaumont, Banning,
ram Springs, lndio, Thermal and
Mecca to the Imperial Valley, but ow-
ing to construction work near Kane
Springs and to the poor condition of
the roads south Of Mecca caused by
heavy truck hauling and lack of i'm
provement work, this route does not
offer as good road conditions as the
route via San Diego and Campo,
which latter route is in excellent shape
throughout. Near the foot of the
mountains east of Campo, construc-
ton work is under way and on account
of blasting the road between IL and
2:30 o'clock each day is closed. g
Imperial County-Plank road from
Holtville to Yuma not advisable be-
cause of heavy drifts of sand. Prac-
tically all roads in the Imperial Valley
are very rough on account of the lack
of improvements and heavy travel.
Best route to Yuma from Imperial
Valley points is via INLAND and Gla-
mis-. Glamis to Blythe excellent des-
ert road. Heavy travel. This is the
most advisable route between Imperial

Whether the meeting will end in

there are those in the valley who are
optimistic over the outcome.
The publication Of wierd stories
concerning the attitude of Yuma and
what Yuma is going to do to the I'M

of discomfort in Yuma, was severely
condemned this morning by members
of the board before they left on their
trip.

these dope Stories" said one. "here
we are going to Yuma. What can we
say when these things are flung in our

is no truth in them, it is if this, may

else"
The results of the conference will

MAY MARKET COTTON
CROP COMPARATIVELY
(BY Associated Press)

PHOENIX, Ariz., May Scoop
erative marketing of the entire cotton
crop of the United States is contem-
plated in plan being devised by the
American Cotton association. accord

Arizona branch, the Arizona, Egyptian
American Cotton Growers association,
on his return from the annual conven-
tion of the national association at
Montgomery, Ala.
AS start toward national co-opera-
tive marketing of cotton, the various
branches of the association have tried
cooperative marketing this year on
a small scale, according to Mr.. Stevens
and the experiment has proved so sue
cessful as to warrant working out
national plan to eliminate middle men
and give larger profit to the cotton
grower.
To formulate this plan, national
commission, appointed by the asso-

methods of all successful marketing
associations, both domestic and for

Why I Am For
johnson

There are numerous reasons for
my supporting Hiram W. Johnson for
president, some Of which I shall
briefly set forth: 4
We will all agree, that the real
problems confronting our country
present themselves on the Pacific
coast, to-wit:
The reclamation Of the arid lands
of our country is a problem of the
West; the trade of the Orient shall
come to the West; the problems of
the Orient, including immigration Wit
ally concern the Western portion of
our country; the economic problems of
the West are among the most import
ant in our country.
Senator Hiram W. johnson is a
native Of the West. l mention this,
not in any spirit of criticism of those
who are not from the West; but to il
lustrate more forcibly, if possible
the fact that man who has hear
twice governor of the state of Cali
fornia, subsequently and now United
States senator, is i'm az position, and
is qualified to intelligently handle
problems such as will come before
the coming administration.
Senator Johnson stands for the
very laudable principles of that
worthy organization, the American
Legion; he is pronounced in his views;
he is a real American. No one ever
has just cause to question the sena-
tors position on matters under dis
cussion; his executive and legislative
experience in my opinion, constitutes
an invaluable asset to one seeking
presidential honors; and l firmly
believe that Senator johnson has
those qualifications which are essen
tial to man who would grace the
presidential chair at Washington.
