MIKES EFFUSION.

A Washington dispatch says
that informal reports of an inn

Harding. But that is not salts

better than informal reports
and we don't want them to stop
at the white house.
Tnasmuch as everyone is con-
WINGED that there is to be anOth-

an armistice and settle the terms
of peace before it begins?
But possibly the planning of
a world strike of miners as a
means of ending the next war
is only the first step toward Gre

FIRST NATIONAL,
DOUBLES CAPITAL

Federal authority was received late
this afternoon by the First National
bank of this city from Acting Comp
troller of the Currency p. Kane, for
increasing the capitalization from
100000 to 100000 or a net increase
of 100 per cent of invested capital in
the institution.
Throrgh the additional canitali2a-
tion the surplus and undivided profits
have also been increased from $50 900
to Sl50,000.
This forward step" said Pres dent
Leroy Holt. sis simply an effort or
the part of our directors and stock
holders to substantially demonstrate
their faith in the future of this val
ley. On the other hand by increasing
our Capitalization at this time we are
affording our depositors just that
much more protection"
1t was further shown that the new
money now available for the bank will
materially increase its capacity for
handling large loans.
The announcement of the First Ma
tional bank, coming at this time is
strongly in line with Straight Ahead
for a Greater Imperial Valley with all
Southern California campaign, and
has been the source of sincere congrat-
ulation for President Holt and his
board OF directors.

Printers Tie-up Scheduled
for May1 Will Hit Busi-
ness and Magazines Heav-
ier Blow Than Ever EX-
perienced.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Millions of
dollars will be lost to American labor
and business through the printers
strike scheduled to become nation wide
on May /. Something near 10000 es-
Establishments will be affected. the an
nual wages of wohse employees in the
printing end alone aggregates approx
imately S100,00O,000.
Business will be hit especially hard
if the strike is of long duration. and
this seems altogether probable to re-
suit. The great volume OF work that
in ordinary times keeps these 10000
plants in active operation will be cut
off summarily. And it is printing
that in normal times is essential to
the success of the concern that buys
it. Business generally is seeking a
way out.
In the outlaw strike here Is months
ago one national magazine resorted to
tvpewriting its matter and utilizing
Photographic, stereotyped plates for
printing. This will not be possible this
time as engravers and stereotypers
will be affected as we'll as composit-
ors. Nor will they be able to have
their printing done in other cities, as
many others did. this walkout being
general.
During the former strike two New
York journals got their publications
on time by using multigraphs and re-
ducing the size of their pages They
are planning to do this again and nu-
merous others will doubtless follow
suit, providing they can get the ma
chine. The manufacturers, however
are now having tremendous demand
from business houses. many of whom
seem determined to become indepen-
dent of printers and printers strikes
in the future.
it is estimated that the daily loss in
wages, profits, and handicaps to busi-
ness generally will average close to
S750,0O0 dav if the strike continues
any considerable period

AMPLE SUPPLY
OF M I ER|AL
FOR HIGHWAYS
Commissioners Speed Up Sand
Supply. TraCers Is Ontimis-
tic on Progress Made.

No further delays on the Imperial
county highway contract are expected
to result from lack of sand, accord
ing to Highway Commissioner Travers
New equipment has been installed at
the west side sand pits. This will
enable the highway commission to
furnish eight cars of sand day. Here
tofore the capacity Of the pit was
three cars daily. On several occa-
sions, progress has been delayed by a
lack of sharp, clean sand.
At the Frlnk quarries, from where
the crushed rock for the big job is OBJ
tanned, the condition is just the re-
verse of what it has been at the sand
pits, an oversupply of roci; having ne
cessitated reduction of the force
from 26 to II men.
Commissioner Travers is optimistic
regarding the highway work. He pre-
diets that rapid progress will be made
now that sufficient quantities Of both
rock and sand are available.
Only about two and three quarters
miles of paving remains to be laid on
the FL Centro-Calexico section of the
highway and it is expected that this
stretch will be finia he'd by May /, and
ready for formal opening May 81,
when big joint celebration will be
held by the cities at each end of the
road.

company for an increase of rates in

that the commodities involved are now
being moved by motor truck at lower
rates than the present express rates.
There is a point in the increase of

we cannot go, the commission said. We

are now in period of readjustment,

tions. The commission also claimed

LOS ANGELES, April 21.-Coinci-
dent with the announcement of Chief
Ashworth of the L. S. customs
service in Washington Yesterday that
the government has on hand an over
stock of nearly 100000 quarts of
imported whisky, gin and fancy bran
dies which it is preparing to sell to
legal purchasers at 81 a gallon, Col
lector of Customs John B. Elliott of
this city announced that the stock now
available in the government bonded
warehouses Of Los Angeles and sub
ject to sale under the ruling would
reach a total OF $4,000
The whisky and other liquors which
the government has for sale repre-
sents stocks seized from border rum
runners at Mexicali and Tia Juana be-
fore the separation of the districts and
it is said that customs houses all over
the country are overflowing with these
seized liquors.
All of the liquor has been tested
and none is offered for sale that is
less than So proof. which means that
it contains about 40 per cent alcohol.
This is fully up to the pre-war liquor
standards.
While the government has this vast
quantity of liquor for sale, the gen
eral public will not be permitted to
take advantage of it. 1t is open to
purchase by hospitals, druggists, man.
ufaCturers of hair tonics and others
who can show the need of liquor for
non-beverage purposes.
To purchase the liquor it is neces-
sary to- have a permit issued by the
federal prohibition unit, according to
the announcement from Washington.
Champagnes of rare vintage, im-
ported Scotch whiskies, domestic
whisky, vermouth. gin and brandies
are included in the stock which is avail
able to the authorized purchasers in
Los Angeles, according to Collector
Elliott.

So, 500, 900, 600 in taxes, according to
blue law proponents. This shortage
could easily be made up through taxes
from other sources, it is urged:
A federal anti-cigarette law, pro-
posed by those behind the legal puri-
fication movement, would cost the gov
ernmcnt approximately S150,000, 900 a
year. That was the amount collected
last year on cigarette A law forbid

closed that snuff, SO much affected by

ated on the basis of one-seventh Of the
total tax collections from these
sources, with the exception OF tobac-
co. From this source only one-twen-

since it is assumed that Sunday clos

when purchases could not be made. Ad-
diets OF the weed, it is assumed, would
