Charles of Discrimination
by Employees Investigated

Armed with nearly a score of af
fldavits charging unfair diserinina-
ton on the part of the governmental
experiment station at Indio, prorni-
nent date growers Of Indio are COM
ing to the valley to attend a meeting
of date growers of Imperial Valley.
to be held at Brawley next Tuesday.
The purpose of the meeting is to de-
mand an investigation of the meta
DDS of the station, the investigation
to be conducted by the State Farm
Bureau, which is to meet in Haynet
soon
The charges, which were originally
brought by the California Date Grow
ers Cooperative Association, of which,
y. W. Reid is president, number
twenty, and are supported by affida-
wits from many prominent date grow
ers throughout Coachella Valley.
Among other things, it is charged that
the personnel is poor, that the station
has at various times refused advice
to farmers, that the men in charge of
the station have taken advantage of
their position with the government to
make money for themselves, that
certain firm obtained contract
whereby all other growers are barred
from receiving the offshoots which
ae given out by the station, and that
there has been general inefficiency
and misconduct in the management Of
the station.
1t is alleged that the work of the
government station has been detri-
mental to the date industry over
Coachella and Imperial valleys, and
that owing to poor advice and lack
of attention on the part of the mon
in charge of the station, thousands of
dollars have been lost in the northern
valley.
A meeting of the various farm bu-
reau officials, members of the valley
chambers of commerce, date growers
and others interested in this industry
in Imperial Valley, will be held in
Brawley next Tuesday. At that time
plans will be made to have another
meeting held in Imperial in the i'm
mediate future. Brawley and Imperi-
al are the centers of date culture in
Imperial Valley and it is these two
towns which will be chiefly benefited
or harmed by the work of the station.
For that reason the center of the
fight will be there, and those interest
ed are expected to attend from all
over the valley and register their
protest against the methods en-
ployed.

further comment, but he will be at
his best.

U'ARTAGNAN PACKS
PALACE THEATER

"The Three Musketeers," with
Douglas Fairbanks in the stellar part
of D'Artagnan, packed the Palace
theater to its capacity at last nights
showing of Dumas famous drama.
And it was a perfectly satisfied audi
ence.
Transported backward more than
three centuries to the time of Louis
XIII in France, period when ro-
nance, love adventure, intrigue
ruled, the audience lived with and was
a part of the time and people por-
trayed, so perfect was the screen
presentation.
Flashing swords, great sacrifices
and daring deeds of heroism make
this one of the most thrilling pictures
ever viewed, previewed or reviewed.
The production is perfect and the di-
rection all that could possibly be ask
ed for. The photography is so good
that one is never conscious of it,
which is the greatest test of camera
work.
The prologue, in perfect accord
with the general excellence of the pic
ture, is recited by Norman c. Deaton
in a costume of the period and makes
a perfect introduction to this 10
mantle play. 1t is from the original
poem by Edward Knobloch, written
Especially for the presentation. In
cluding the matinee today and the
evening performance, there will be
four more showings of this magnifi-
cent picture.

FUTURE Of BEEF

SAYS RIM. HAGEN
Secretary of State CattIemen's
association AdUises AdUer-
tising to OUercone Opyesiti0a
to Meats

BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 1.-The pc,
capita consumption of meat has been
greatly reduced in the last ten yesrs.
members Of the Kern County Cattle
mems Association were told by r. M.
Hagen, secretary CT the state organi-
zation, at conference held at the CITY
hall. Advertising campaigns con-
Quoted throughout the United States
adverse to meat eating and offering
substitutes have had a telling effect
on the industry, according to Mr.. Ha-
gen, and his hearers were urged to
adopt similar campaigns in order to
restore the family roast to its former
popularity.
A. S. Goode, president of the Kern
county association, outlined to his
hearers the reasons for the depres
sion that is now affecting the live
stock industry and pointed to the
sources from which relief may be OBJ
tained. Markets have been demoral-
lied since the end of the World War,
said Mr.. Goode, because of the fact
that the great t-producing coun-
tries were unable to supply Europe
during the conflict with the result that
their supply was allowed to accunu-
late. Then with the end of the war
transportation became available and
the Old World markets were flooded
with meat and meat products.
The financial depression was the
next serious blow which struck the
cattle industry, said Mr.. Goode. This
feature has in part been offset, said
the speaker, by the methods employ
ed by the war finance board in giving
aid to livestock producers. Money,
however, from this source is for the
most part available in the East and
Midwestern states, but with lessen
ing of the strain there corresponding
relief has been afforded to cattlemen
on the Pacific coast. e-. F'sct .

SWING WANTS
HARMONY IN
BOULDER
MEET
Emphasizes Importance of
Coming Conferences on
Colorado River Develop
ment and Begs for Con-
certed Action by Valley

Congressman Phil Swing, who is
making a reputation for himself for
his interchangeable work at Washing
ton for the welfare and interest OF the
people of this district, is taking a
more than ordinary interest in the
coming conference of the League Of
the Southwest at Riverside, which is
to open next Thursday, and in the
fDllowing Imperial Valley Boulder
Dam conference, which is to be held
in San Diego on Dec. II.
In letter addressed to M. NJ. D.
Davis, publisher OF The Press, Con-
gresham Swing urges that the people
of the valley not minimize the I'M
portance of the two meetings and that
they bestir themselves to take every
advantage Of these two meetings.
His letter is as follows:
"May l take a minute oe your time
to emphasize the Importance OF the
coming irrigation and power confer
cnces to be held at Riverside, the 9Th,
9th and 10th, and at San Diego, Dec.

portunity to do much good towards
starting work on the development of
the lower Colorado river, from which
development will flow wonderful
prosperity for all the Southwest. |
have been working on this proposal
for a number of years and am great
ly interested in seeing the undertal..
ing successfully begun. l am con-
WINGED that when this project is CON-
pleted it will compare favorably with
the Panama canal in Importance and
in the amount of benefits resulting
therefrom to the American people.
"The present is a critical time for
this great undertaking. Harmony is
absolutely necessary. The united ef-
fort of the Southwest is needed, if we
are to succeed. 1t is big enterprise
and should be looked at in a big,
broad way. fractional strife must be
eliminated Local jealousies and per-
sonal feeling should be submerged for
the good of all. There will be bene-
fits enough for all. once the work is
done.
81 consider the development of the
Colorado river the most important
domestic matter before the people to-
day, and / am, therefore, arranging
my plans to attend these meetings. l
hope you will not only follow the pro-
ceedings closely and give them the
publicity they deserve, but that you
will also use your influence to see
that the delegates from your COM
munity realize the Importance of
reaching an agreement to work to-
gether for the common good.
Sincerely yours,
PHIL d. SWING.
A telegram received last night from
Congressman Swing announces that
he and Secretary Fall and A. p. Davis,
director of the Reclamation Service,
will not be able to arrive here next
Tuesday, as was first planned, for
their visit, but that they would be
here Wednesday.
Because of the fact that the League
of the Southwest conference opens on
Thursday, it is rrebable that these
distinguished gentlemen VI be/ able
to spend only one day in tic valley,

it is taken for granted that. the
amount of fines collected by Justice
Mayfield were imposed upon violaters

in part, is as follows:

what his efficiency as an officer is, |

Figures speak for themselves.
"As to some other parts of that

will say it is certainly very unpro-
fessional for a justice of the peace,
or any judicial officer, to indicate
what penalties he will likely impose
