HICKCOX AGAINST
RECALL. OF SIMON

Ross Y. Hckcox, whose name was
prominently mentioned as a candidate
for the position Of district attorney in
the event of the recall of District At
torney Simon, issued the statement
this morning that under no circum-
stances would he permit the use of
his name in this connection.
Mr.. Hickcox adds, 81 am seriously
opposed to the recall of the present
district attorney, E. R. Simon. Mr..
Simon under most difficult circum-
stances has given the county good
service and this fact l am sure is
recognized by very large majority
of the citizens of this county.
''In the event the recall petition
should secure a sufficient number Of
names, which it seems they will be
unable to do, the result will only be
a large additional expense to the
county, without any change"

General Manager Writes
Letter to Board of Direct
Ors Tenor of Which Seems
to be Mystery.

Has General Manager r. N. Cron-
holm, of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict placed his resignation in the
hands of the board of directors?
A letter from the general manager
was submitted to the board this morn
ing which Director G.. w. Brockman
says is a resignation. Other mem
ters of the board say that it was not
II resignation but request that he
be reappointed to the position which
he now holds at "a satisfactory sal
any,"
From other sources the infQrn!a-
ton was given out that Mr. Cronholm
had offered to resign if his manage
ment of the districts affairs were not
satisfactory.
Messrs. Brockman, Rose, Nickerson
ana Breedlove were the only members
os the board sitting this morning when
the lette rwas presented. Mr.. Breed
love declined to take any action on
inc letter and Messrs. R4se and Nick
erson and Br0ckman tabled the letter
until the return of Director McPherrlA
from Washington.
Many rumors which have been cir
culated recently have had bad effect
upon the morale of other employees of
the district who are under Mr.. Cron-
holm's jurisdiction, and some of them
who. have been employed by him since
he became the directing head of the
organization "don't know where to
hang their hats" according to the
general manager, because of the talk
of change of general managers, and
il is his desire it was said to quiet
this feeling of uncertainty, and to
give the directors full opportunity of
expressing their wishes on the ques-
ton of retaining him permanently as
general manager, that caused HIM TO
take the action he did this morning.
Nine of the directors would comment
on the matter.

VALLEY
FIGS
Trees Bear Three Crops in
Season Of Highest Quality
Of Fruit Which Finds
Ready Market.

The fig crop in several sections of
the valley during the past few years,
especially this year, has caused many
to devote more attention to the grow
ing Of the fruit, with indications that
a large number of tees will be plant
ed and cultivated the coming year.
Imperial Valley fig trees produce
on an average of three crops a year,
the first crop having ripened about a
month ago, while the second crop is
now ripening. James w. Griffith
picked bushel of the fruit from trees
he has been caring for during the past
few years, while l.. +. Cuthbert just
south of Holtville, has large crop
ripening, he having disposed Of the
first crop few weeks ago at good
price.
Mr.. Griffith has devoted much time
to raising figs and has made some ex-
periments with the trees which now
cause him to be very enthusiastic.
Ten years ago frost killed numebr
of trees which he had planted the
previous year, and from which he had
gathered little fruit. He sawed the
trees off close to the ground in the
Spi ing, anu lilS IOiioW ing ouiy tIC
growth was sufficient for him to gath
er fruit fro mthe new sprouts.
In raising figs Mr.. Griffin has
learned that the fig trees are the cas-
lest to grow of any fruit trees in the
valley, it only being required to cut
off branch and set it in the ground.
seeing that the cutting gets plenty of
water. The first crop comes on by
the latter part of May Or the first OF
June, be followed by two more crops
later @.
The adaptability of figs in the val
ley and the fact that California figs
were sent to Chicago last week,
where small packages brought Sl.8l
each, has caused much interest 10 be
taken. in the possibilities of the fruit
in the valley. Even on markets
throughout.t .the state the fruit brings
a good price, figs on the Los Angeles
market two weeks ago selling for 80
cents per pound.
Imperial Valley figs are of large
size and excellent quality, Mr.. Cuth-
bert having just picked some from the
second crop, five of which weigh Il

OU TY Of
STATE
Commonwealth Should Keep
Watchful Eye on Child
from Birth to Puberty
Says Famous Chlldren's
Friend.
(By Associated Press)


DES MONIES, Ia, July 6.--From a
different angle, but a no less import
ant one than that Of natural parents.
is the "Parenthood of the State" to
the child, Judge Ben B. Lindsay said
in an address before the national edu-
cational association here. "This was
first expressed in the struggle for ac
knowledgement by the state that it
was it's duty to educate the child" !"
Judge Lindsay added. "No one today
seriously questions this responsibility.
Since that acknowledgement, the state
is becoming more and more the over
parent Of the child"
"The new phase of this struggle
concerns the responsibility of the
state for the health and morals of the
child. Since health and morals are
so nearly related, they may be con-
sidered almost as one.
'The 'Parenthood of the State in
cludes its duty to see that the child is
we'll born. BY strictest kind of mar
riage laws. the state must forbid as
far as possible, the ribnging of chill
from healthy parents. The child must
no longer be the victim of conditions
over which it has no control but for
which society and the state itself is
to blame. When the state is imper-
illed, it calls the child of Is to defend
it with it's life When the child is inn
perilled it has a right to call on its
overparent, the state, to protect 1t
with it's wealth.
"The time will come when it will be
regarded as a crime against childhood
if the state permits that child to suf-
fer from undernourishment due either
to poverty or ignorance. Since it IS
the accepted duty of the state to edu-
cate the child, it is far more its duty
to feed the child.
"The time to save many boy ban
dit is i'll the nine months before and
| the nine months after its birth. We
must have maternity laws. We must
| have laws to see that the child does
not suffer for the lack of proper nour-
| ishment if the parents are unable to
perform that function, and if they are
able to perform it, to see to it that
it is performed.
'If this is 'Paternalism" then all of
your free school system is paternal'
lSlll, anu IIte SCuOOlS olc pdlSiiaA-
ism, then give us more of it. We have
the common experience in every city
of five children of a wealthy family
for whom the state has paid over $685.
900 for their free education, and the
five children of poor widow who need
to be fed ever more than they need to
eb educated and for whom the expense
of education is wasted because of this
neglected condition which makes them
incapable of receiving its full advan-
tages. Undernourished children are
more dangerous to the state than m-
der-educated children.
at is not the purpose of the par
enthood of the state to usurp the
function of the home o. 70 permit the
naural parent to shirk, but rather to
permit the natural parent to shirk
but rather to see that the home per-
forms it's function where it is careless
and to see that no child suffers be-
cause of poverty where the home is
helpless. The state must preserve
the home for the child"

immigration Inspector George W
Morris was eXonerated of all blame
for the death of S. Sukurai, Mexicali
Japanese who was killed accidentally
by the officer when he shot at the
ground in an effort to stop Sukurai
and another Japanese whom he sus-

illegally.
The shooting occurred at inland
early Monday morning when Morris
saw the two Japs walking along the
railroad tracks. He called to them to
stop and fired one shot to their left.
One man stopped but Sukurai started
to run and the officer fired second
time. The bullet struck rock and
ricocheted, striking Sukurai in the
back above the hip and passed through
the stomach an dintestines lodging in
the right side of the abdomen. He was
brought to this city where the bullet
was removed, but he died soon after

HARDING IN FAVOR

TOXIC, July Cit it regrettable
that the real character and policy Of
the new American president should
be misunderstood by some of the Jap
anese people," said Micho Kaku, sec
retary of the Japanese embassy in
Washington who has just returned on
furlough, when interviewed by the
Asahi representative. Mr.. Kaku con-
tinued:
''The president has often had occa-
sion to express his conviction that an
Anglo American Japanese entente
should be made the basis of world
peace. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the American president and
his staff are all in favor of the main
tenance of friendly relations between
America andeJapan.

NEW SAVAGE CORD IS
GIVEN SEVERE TEST

Some interesting tests were recent
ly made at the Spreckles Savage Tire
Company's factory to try the strength
advice received from George W..
Greene, superintendent. He states
that 34x4 Savage Cord, which had
been inflated on regular rim to l05
pounds pressure and then mounted on
an auto wheel, was dropped four con-
secutive times from the roof of q
three story building upon concrete
pavement. No apparent injury to the
tire resulted from this severe test, al
though it is said that the sudden strain
upon the casing caused by its impact
with the pavement must have been
terrific. The tire remained firmly
fixed TO the rim notwithstanding the
force OF the blow and the fact that
the rim was badly bent during the
test.
In another experiment a Savage
Cord was mounted on rim, connected
directly to an hydraulic pump, and
subjected to an hydraulic pressure OF
,450 pounds per square inch without
any resultant injury to the tire. When
it is considered that the severe gov
ernment tests require that tires stand
but a maximum pressure Of $50
pounds, it is readily seen what tre-
mendous strain this casing was sub
jected to. AS in the test above men
toned, the tire adhered firmly to the
rim. The remarkable strength of the
Savage Cord bead, due largely, says
Mr.. Greene, to the interlocking bead
feature that is original with this tire,
is nicely demonstrated by these exper-
iments; and also they serve to show
undisputably the built-in strength aod
perfect balance of this cord casing.
