BRAWLEY SHOW
FINE DISPLAY

That a far wider variety of prod
ucts than is generally recognized as
Brawley crops is ready for market at
the present time is indicated by the
display on exhibition at the Brawley
citrus and poultry show, now just
getting into its stride. A lavish dis
play of citrus fruit was expected.
And they are there. Oranges-nav-
ines and others with which the experts
are more familiar but which all quail
fly under the stomach test" of the
secretary of the Brawley Commcrcia,
Club, William Lowther-are present
in large numbers. Grapefruit, which
promises to become one of the lead
ing crops of the future, since it has
definitely passed from the eXpG.i-
mental to the commercial stage, is
abundant, in various kinds of packs.
The grapefruit is revelation TO
visitors, the smooth skins, fine, even
texture and the flavor being unsur-
passed by any produced in the United
States, while commanding price far
in advance of the coasts product.
Not the least of the most interest
ing displays is that of various kinds
of vegetables and fruits, in which the
seasons offerings are amazing.
Strawberries, watermelons, grapes,
figs, pears and the more prosaic tur-
nips, carrots, lettuce and peanut, are
only a few of the many varieties on
exhibition.
The poultry exhibit is also one OF
the finest ever shown in the valley
This is particularly true of turkeys
of which fowl a magnificent display
is made.

Woman Is Bound, Drugged
and Burned to Death Fol
lowing Warning Note
From Unknown Miscreant

POMONA, Dec. 14.-One of the
most fiendish murders in the annals
of Southern California occurred here
late yesterday when Mrs. J. T. Swain,
proprietor of an upholstery store, was
bound drugged and burned to death
by an unknown assalant.
Not only did the murderer seek to
obliterate all traces of his crime by
burning Mrs. SWANS home and store,
but he also fired the offices and ware
house of the Hinman Fuel & Feed
Company next door, which resulted in
the destruction of the buildings, caus-
ing a total fire loss of $4,000.
Mrs. Swain did not give up the
struggle for her life, however, with
out making frantic attempt to es-
cape from her terrible fate, for she
succeeded in dragging herself to the
door of her home, in spite of her drug
ged condition, where she evidently
tainted, unable to unlock the barrier
to the street and safety.
The plot was the second ATTEMPT to
take Mrs. SWANS life, according 70
the Pomona police, for similar at
tempt to bum her property while she
was asleep was made last Friday
night. At that time, the police say,
Mrs. Swain was also drugged, but
awakened in time to summon the fire
department, and the blaze was extin-
gushed before much damage was
done.
On Saturday she received mys-
terious note, which read:
II failed to get you last night, but
| will get you the next time. l never
let anyone treat me that way and get
away with it,"
Mrs. Swain Immediately turned the
note over to the police. She said she
knew of no one who bore her any en-
nifty.
Upon closing her store she took ker
young child, Jessie Catherine, to the
home of neighbor asking permission
to leave her there for the night. She
is said to have stated she "felt some
thing might happen and wanted Jes-
| sic out of danger"

MARRIED WOMEN
CAN 7 SIGN AWAY
SUPPORT RIGHT
appellate Court Denies VIE
Can Legally Release Hus-
band From PrOuidin1 for
Her

In q case arising in this county the
District Court of Appeals has just de-
cided that a married woman cannot
sign away her right to the sustenance
and care Of her husband during the
period their marriage ties are legally
unbroken.
Th decision was on an appeal from
the judgment of the Superior Court
OF Imperial county in the suit of Ula
May Rottman of Calexico against her
husband, Samuel f. Rottman, for re-
cission Of contract.
According to the evidence presented
IN the Superior Court when the case
was first tried here, Rottman and his
wife entered into an agreement at
the time Of their marriage, whereby
each agreed to release the property
of tn other from any claim or inter
est by reason of their marriage. The
consideration alleged in the agree
ment was the promise of the hus-
band ito live with and love her with
the degree of affection that hus-
band should"
In the original suit Mrs. Rottman
declared that Immediately following
the birth of their child her husband
had refused to contribute to her sup
port, setting up this agreement as a
bar, and that she had been forced to
borrow $500 from members of her
family to support herself and child.
Judgment was entered for Mrs. Rott-
man, and from this judgment the hus-
band appealed.
1t was held by the Appelate Court
that the defendant was morally bound
to support and care for his wife and
child without the prompting of a pc
cuniary reward and the entire con-
tract was declared to be an iniquitous
arrangement and palpably unjust and
unfair. The judgment of the lower
court for Mrs. Rottman was affirmed.

LEAVING
To SLIP SPEED
TO HOLTV|LLE
Genial Manager of Vayney's
Big Store to Stimulate Busi-
ness of Nearby Branch

On January | Mr.. j. c. Tate, man
ager of the Varney Company store
in Ell Centre, will go to Holtville to
take charge of the Varney Company
store at that point.
This will come somewhat as a sur
prise to the people of Ell Centre, who
have known Mr.. Tate favorably as
the genial and efficient manager of
the local store; but Mr.. Tate has been
chosen because Of his splendid record
IN FL Centre to take over the Holt
vile store and bring it up to the scu-
cessful position that is expected of
this branch
Mr.. Tate's sojourn in Holtville will
be somewhat less than year, as he
is to manage the new Varney store
to be opened in Burbank, Calf,
sometime next year.
With Mr.. Tate will go Mr. Floyd
Dillon as assistant manager, and who
will receive his training for perman-
ent manager of the Holtville store
under Mr.. Tate's guidance
Mr.. Tate's long and successful rec
ord with the Varney company made
him the man to be chosen as the frs
Earney company manager outside of
the Imperial Valley, and it certainly is
very much to his credit to be appoint
ed to lun a store so far removed from
the general offices in Ell Centro.
We wish Mr.. Tate and also Mr..
Dillon the best success in their new
positions with this large growing con-
Germ.
Mr. Roscoe Gould, now assistant
merchandise manager, is appointed
manager of the Ell Centro store fol-
lowing Mr.. Tate's taking charge of
Holtville store.

FAMOUS CRUISERS
ARE BEING JUNKED

OAKLAND, Dec. 1.-two former
proud cruisers, the Minnesota and
the Marblehead, which helped make
American naval history during the
Spanish war, were sold for junk here
recently and are being dismantled at
an Oakland shipyard
Junk dealers purchased the two
veteran vessels from the navy de-
partment recently for approximately
$4,000. When the ships were built,
about thirty years ago, they cost al
most $6,0o0ooo. The junk dealers
say they hope to take from the vessels
material worth about 100000.
The name of the Marblehead was
wired around the world when, during
the Spanish war, in company with
the cruiser Nashville, she entered the
harbor of Cienfueeos, Cuba, and cut
cable, while under fire. The Min
nesota was one OF the ships Of the
famous frying squadron" under Cam

PRODUCERS
Of MARKET
HAY Of Ten
" B j s 7"
Alfalfa Selling by Indepen-
dent Producers Very Pre-
carious Business, S a y S
Weekly Letter of Grow
ers' Exchange

The market for alfalfa hay contin-
ued very strong during the week in
all parts of the state, and nrices
showed a further moderate advance.
There is no change in the unda:ls-
ing situation, excepting that the fac
tors of a Limited production of mar
ketng hay and of diminishing sup
plies in the hands of users, dealers ard
growers, are making themselves felt
more as the winter season advances.
The lack of rainfall far, increases
the current consumption TO sorle ex-
tent, but has as yet not become sari-
Gus factor, as there is still ample time
for plenty of rain.
An outstanding feature of the pres-
ent situation is that those producing
and shipping districts which also have
a considerable local market, have
ceased shipping to central markets, as
growers have no trouble in selling f.
o. b. ranch at from So to Sc a ton
above the shipping parity of central
markets.
A number of our member growers
have lately asked for our advice as
regards whether they should continue
as producers of marketing hay. and
we also are being consulted lately by
men considering to become producers
of alfalfa for marketing purposes.
To the prospective growers we had
to tell what the older growers al
ready know only too well. that is
that, taking one year with the other,
the producing of marketing hay has
in the past been an unprofitable bust
ness. We venture to say that, eX-
cepting the cases where conditions as
regards production, location and fl
nancial means were. exceptionally fa-
vorable, hte great majority of grow
ers who confined themselves to the
production Of marketing hay have
gone broke in the long run.
~ oNSIlS oli dliSS lllll llllS SllOuiu
have been the case considering that
the production of alfalfa marketing
hay is of such vital Importance to the
population of our cities and towns;
their milk and cream supply depends
on it and the consumption of market
ing hay is increasing steadily with the
growth of the centers OF population
This should make the production Of
marketing hay safe and profitable
business. The reason why it is not,
is to be found in the marketing con-
ditions.
Theoretically, free competition
makes the buyers, needing hay, come
to the growers and bid against each
otter, and all the grower has to do
is to wait until he is offered a fair
price which makes it possible for him
to live and prosper. In reality, how
ever, the situation is reversed. The
! buyers know that the great majority
of the growers cannot sit back and
wait until they are offered a satisfac-
tory price, tina, on the contrary, their
money needs compel them to sell the
larger part of their years production
during the first few months of the
producing season. AS individuals il
lis not possible for them to regulate
their selling according to the current
needs of consumers during the twelve
months of the year.
For this condition users and deal
