OF THOMPS0NS
Kellern,an Vineyard Ships
Fancy Grapes for NelD York
Tables. Second of Season.

The first carload Of grapes of the
Thompson seedless variety and the
second of any variety was shipped out
of Holtville by d. Kellerman, the
grapes being picked on his vineyard
which he just recently purchased from
II. II. Jones. The carload was con-
signed to New York and will arrive
there among the first Of the season
and should bring a fancy price.
Judging from the immense crop,
Kellerman will be kept quite busy on
his vineyard for the next few weeks
taking care of the big crop, and ex-
poets to ship out about Is carloads.
At present there are 25 men kept busy
at the vineyard.
The arrival of Mr.. Kellerman's ship
ment on the New York market so early
in the season, is feature of most
Importance in the grape industry of
the valley, as climatic conditions of
the Imperial Valley cause the fruit to
mature several weeks earlier than
those grown elsewhere in the state,
with the possible exception Of Goa
chlla valley. One Of the most notice
able phases of grape culture in the
state was observed a few weeks ago
by Jack Tiernan, prominent nursery
man, who made trip Of inspection
to other grape growing sections of
the state, was that the new growth of
valley grapes had taken place and :he
vines attained a length of several feet
while those in other sections near
Fresno were just sprouting.
Along with the interest which has
been shown in grape culture in tie
valley during the past few months.
the idea of organizing a grape grow
e,s' association. to standardizc the
product, is growing apace, and it is
thought that through the efforts Of
the farm bureau and the different
vineyardists in the valley, the or
ganzation will materialize within
the wear.

Its Recognized Value Caus-

Money for Benefit of Ma
tiOn's Free Schools.

DES MONIES, Ia, July Pre-
eminent among the many factors that
should be mentioned in the educational
progress of the year is the aroused in
terest in education itself. Mrs. Fannie
Fern Andrews, of Boston told the Ma
tional Education association here to-
day.
eve might almost speak Of an edu-
cational renaissance" Mrs. Andrews
said.
Educational leaders have become
leaders in educational progress; they
have forced the public to recognize
the Importance of education in new
and different light; they have estab-
lished the belief that education has So
cial, economic and political value
that the stability of the country rests
on education" Mrs. Andrews added.
an the midst of economic depression
and world upheaval, they have de-
manded more money for the schools,
and they have convinced the public
that the greatest financial asset of a
country, regardless of the moral as
set, is an educated people.
"a review of the educational legiS-
lation during the past year is strik
ing evidence of this belief. The cOun-
try cannot afford not to spend money
for the adequate education of all its
children.
"The determination to give every
boy and girl a chance, to see that the
Il 100000 rural school children have
opportunities commensurate with the
usban children, is a leading part Of the
program in this educational revival,
and it is the educators who are fore
ing this problem on the people, and
demanding the necessary funds for
the realization of their plans. They
have made their own program, which
covers every phase of the educational
problem, from the Kindergarten
through the university, and they are
determined to carry it through. Where
is virility in the educational world
today that was hardly perceivable five
years ago.
sour school men and women have
learned the lessons of the war. New
projects and new methods voice the
needs of the new time. New courses
in history are about to be published.
Schools are vying with each other for
the best scitizenship courses. There
has never been such serious consid-
Grafton of the meafing of citizenship,
and our school people are taking the
lead in formulating the definition.
They are using education to help solve
the problems of the nation, as the
various committees of the national
council indicate-witness the commit
tee on thrift education, the committee
on racial well-being. the committee Of
character and citizenship education,
and the committee on democracy ap-
piled to education.
"The last committee is enlisting the
cooperation of every national organi-
cation which is aiming to promote a
better American Citizenship and a
truer democracy. To no part of our
national life can we look with greater
satisfaction or with greater hope than

Water is receding very rapidly along
Ee protective works of the Imperial
Irrigation District, especially on the
Ockerson and Saiz levees. On the
Volcano Lake levee the water is fall
ing at rate of about two -tenths of a
foot every "a hours, and is expected
to fall even more rapidly within ythe
next few days. Conditions are very
satisfactory under the circumstances,
and it is the belief of the irrigation
district officials that all danger from
the high water has passed.

territory.
Mr.. Cronholm gained a great deal
of valuable information on the lay of
the land and the spread Of the water,
which could not possibly have been

obtained by trip either on land or
used by his office in making future
preparations to combat the ravages of
the Colorado and keep it within con-

The election laws require that sig
natures equal to 20 per cent of the
votes cast at the last general election
be obtained before a recall election
can be held. which would necessitate
the obtaining of 795 names of regis
tered voters in this instance as the
vote cast in the county at the last gen
eral election was 1915. After recall
petition is filed with the county clerk
he is allowed ten days in which to
check up the signatures to ascertain
whether or not the required number
of registered voters have signed the
document. In the event that the num-
Der is found insufficient the county
clerk is required to certify to that
fact, after which the petitioners are
allowed ten days in which to obtain
the required number. When a petit
ton is found to contain the number of
signatures required by law, and the
county clerk certifies to the county
supervisors that body must call
recall election not earl<r than 35 days
and moot more than 40 days from the
date of the certitication of the petition.
Although none of the legal fratern-
ity of Ell Centre or the other cities of
the county have been announced as
candidates to succeed Mr.. Simon, sew
eral were suggested today as pros
pective timber for the office. Prom
inent among those who have been
mentioned are Joseph F. Seymour, Jr.,
Earl Banta, Ross T. Hickcox, of Ell
Centre, D. L. Ault and Patrick j.
Cooney of CaleXico, and Guy Rock
well of Brawley, but none of them
have as yet been approached on the
subject.
District Attorney Simon occupies
position that is unique in California
history in that he has held the office
during two different terms although
never elected to the place. His first
elevation to the office of district at
torney came several years ago upon
the death of Galen Nichols, under
whom Mr.. Simon was chief deputy. At
the expiration of that term a little
more than two years ago Bert Noel
was elected district attorney but he
was claimed by death before q eerti-
ticate of his election was ever issued,
and Mr.. Simon under the law held the
office for the ensuing term of which
he has yet about one and one-half
years to serve.
