LETTUCE SHIPPERS
APPOINT F. w. WAITE

Lettuce shippers agreed unanimous
ly to have Horticultural Commissioner
F. w. Waite and his inspectors handle
shipping point inspection, under the
direction of the Department of Agri-
culture, certificates to be issued on the
|state forms. That was the first action
taken by the meeting Of the shippers
held in Brawley.
Discussion followed on the question
of shipping weights. Representatives
of the Southern Pacific stated that
last year the average weight per crate
was seventy-seven pounds and that
this year shipments would be billed at
Iseventy-five pounds. This met with
objection from the shippers, who stat
ed that present weights are running
only about sixty-six pounds. 1t was
stated that Los Angeles weights are
seventy and seventy-two pounds. but
that Imperial Valley weights are
heavier because of the superior quail.
lity and firmer heads.
The present rate to New York is
$1.75, but on January / the rate goes
to $$2.0S1s, the rate following the re
duction that come last spring. Other
rates are gradually reduced as destin
ations move west from New York.

PROPAGANDA
SAYS YBARRA
Of REMOVAL
ri N D R
Lower CALIFORNIA; Governor
Pleads Ignorance of Obre-
CONS Reported Intention
of Appointing His Success.
SOr in Office

On top Of the report contained in
press dispatches from the CITY of
Mexico yesterday that Governor Epig-
memo Ybarra, Jr., had been directed
to report to President Obregon in per-
son at the capital, to talk over the af-
fairs of the Northern District of Low
er California, comes the rumor that
Governor Ybarra is to be asked to re-
linquish his office in favor of another
appointee. This rumor is denied both
by Governor Ybarra and one of the
men who was named as going to sue
coed him.
Rumor has been frequent and per-
sistent in Calexico and Mexicali the
past week or ten days that Ybarra
was to be removed from office. 1t
was stated in dispatches from San
Diego and Tia Juana that Ybarra was
to be succeeded by Conrado Gaxiola,
formerly consul general at Los An
geles. Rumor from the same sources
and also current in Mexicali had it
that his successor was to be Sr. Jose
Garza Zertuche, at present consul
general of the Mexican Republic in
Los Angeles. Sr. Zertuche in Los
Angeles this morning stated that he
had heard nothing Officially, or other
wise, of the rumored change, and that
he did not put great faith in it. Sr.
Zertuche was formerly consul gen
eral at New Orleans and at San Fran
cisco, and is said to stand high in ad-
ministration circles in Mexico City, of
which place he is native.
From Los Angeles also comes the
report that there is a possibility of
the appointment of Ignacio Gaxiola, q
brother of Conrado, and for many
years a business adviser in conf
Dental way of President Obregon.
This report was denied by the secre-
tary Of Conrado Gaxiola, who stated
that there was probably nothing in the
report.

Hot Retort Made by South
ern Legislators to Steph-
ems Reply to Charges of
Extravaganza and Mis-
management

| Governor William d. Stephens is a
failure as a state executive and is "a
willing fegurehead and representa-
tive" for the state machine politicians
responsible for extravagant and incf-
Ificient government in California, ac-
cording to a statement issued in Los
Angeles by Southern California state
senator's and assemblymen.
The statement was reteration of
| the charges against Stephens recently
lmade by the legislators and also served
as criticism of the governors reply
to the lawmakers original attack.
While the latest pronouncement
against waste in state affairs is fully
as energetic as the opening gun fired
by the Stephens opposition, of even
more Importance politically is the fact
that additional signatures appear on
the second pronouncement.
The governors fiery attack on his
political opponents had as one of its
principal objects, it is claimed, to
frighten "the enemy" If this was
the intention, the governor has failed.
He succeeded only in strengthening
those who believe he should be climin-
ated as political factor
State senator's signing today's anti
Stephens proclamation are: Harry A..
Chamberlain, Charles w. Lyon, Henry
III. Yonkin and Joseph A. Rominger
State assemblymen signing it are:
James O. Bishop, Frank F. Merriam,
Sidney Z. Graves, Richmond F. Ben

That's why I'm putting out pears"

young folk of the land, particularly,
for early mailing of Christmas pack
iages and letters
The effect Of the effort thus put
forth by Postmaster Collins to expe-
Idite the handling of the Christmas
mail in Ell Centre was apparent at
once, for all of the school children
took the matter up with their parents
and elders at once and the result was
that so far something like two tons
of Christmas mail has been deposited
in the office and gotten away to its
destination.
The youngsters, particularly the
older boys, have also taken great
deal of interest in the situation and
scores of them have volunteered their
services to Postmaster Collins to
serve in any way they can to help out
in the collection and distribution of
mail matter during the heavy rush
days that are yet to come.
AS a sample of the letters received
by Postmaster Collins the following
letter from a grammar school boy will!

and address their packages and to
mail them early, also to use only or

There were several hundred other
prominent men, including majority
of the city and county officials OF San
Diego, also in attendance.
No voice of criticism of that pro-
gram was raised in the opening ses-
sions of the public hearing on the Co.
dorado river development problem. On
the main issue there was the finest
harmony, and, so far as the Lower
Colorado basin and all Of Southern
California are concerned, Secretary
Fall can go back to Washington as
sured that all the people are with him
in the desire to get the Boulder Can
yon flood control and irrigation dam
built by Uncle Sam.
Secretary Falls public disclosures
at Riverside of his conviction that the
government must build the dam and
his intimation that the administration
would use it's utmost endeavOrs to get
the necessary congressional appropri-
ations has brought harmony out Of
discord.
On every hand was heard the ex.
preston of this sentiment, Let US
stand unitedly back of the Secretary
and get the Boulder Canyon dam bull
by the government. After that there
will be time enough to choose between
public and private development of the
power"
Imperial Valley and Yuma and the
Palo Verde people are radient with
high hope. The future looks better to
them than it has for years. The sky
