LETTUCE NETS
$100 PER ACRE

Lettuce shipments for Imperial Val
ley yesterday passed 5000 cars, going
probably three times the number that
shippers had figured on January LIST,
when the mounting costs were appar-
emily prohibitive and the freight rates
one-third greater than the previous
year. The year before the growers
lost money on lettuce due to the fact
that some loads were frozen in the
East and the Florida market was un-
usually heavy.
This year when they were expecting
to lose money they came through in
extra good shape. Many growers have
netted as much as $1OO per acre profit
on their lettuce while apparently every
one has come out ahead. The reason
IS the big price for Imperial Valley
iceberg" lettuce over the prices for
lettuce from other sections. The de-
mand has been equal to the supply
and the market consequently steady.
There will probably be 100 more cars
shipped.

has puzzled some of the leading med
ical experts and psychologists of this
country. u
Until an accident. less than two
years ago, in which she sustained a
double basal fracture resulting in to-
tai Deafness amnesia and paralysis
Miss Tannaro had never shown any
musical ability. While recovering
from paralysis and still totally deaf
she gave evidence of astonishing mu-
steal ability, playing the most difficult
compositions, such as Listz's Second
Hungarian Rhapsodie. Sextette from
Lucia, with both right and left hand !;
Peer Gynt, Poet and Peasant and other
most difficult selections together with
her own improvsed compositions,
which musicians were unanimous in
declaring remarkable conceptions.
How she was able to sing in perfect
pitch, hearing neither her own voice
nor the accompaniment is still un-
answered. Dr. Henry Lewis Wagner
the brain specialist of San Francisco,
under whose care she was placed said,
when asked for an explanation, that
he could not even explain how she
recovered from basal fracture with
out an operation, as he had never
heard of such a thing in his forty
years of practice.

surgeon of Los Angeles, who operated
on Miss Tannaro later and restored
her hearing was equally baffled by hei
psychic powers. While deaf Miss Tan

reading in three days. So well did she
read that the doctors did not belief
her deaf till she was put to infallible
tests. She learned to read music with

who have heard her.

The county committee of the Young

the following outline of the objects
and aims of the association in it's work
and asks the endorsement and moral
support of all for it:
"With all of our material resources

(By Associated Pressl

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March o.
Arguments against reduction of pay of
laboring men were voiced by p. H.
Mccarthy, San Francisco, president of
the State Building Trades Council Of
California at the organization 21st
annual convention held here today.
1--WE are told that prices of COM
modities are declining and therefore
wages of the working classes should
be reduced" he said. "If there has
been diminution of prices, it has re-
bounded to the advantage of the deal
ers and as yet has not benefited the
masses to any appreciable extent.
Besides, the increase in wages has
never kept pace with the increase in
cost of living and it will require
complete readjustment of the cost of
living before wages and the cost of
living reach a plane of equality.
IF wages of those in the building
industry had increased in the same
proportion as the price of products
of the manufacturers, the wage earn
ers would have been enabled to lay
aside reserve fund and would be in
a position to tide over the temporary
privations incident to a reduction of
wages. But because of the increase
in the cost of living was proportion
ately far greater than the increase
in wages, the working classes have
been able to exc out bare existence,
and today their financial condition is
more precarous than it has been in
many years."
Mr.. Mccarthy said the past year has
been most eventful one in the build
ing industry of California. He de-
clared that due to "eXtraneous influ-
ences and unfavorable environment" "
the spirit of cooperation between en-
ployer and employee underlying the
state Building Trades Council and it's
affiliated locals has several times been
taxed to the utmost.
Mr.. Mccarthy declared efforts are
being made all over the country to
establish the open shop. He urged the
union men to stand together closer
than ever before.
The Irish question was mentioned
by Mr.. Mccarthy, who said, "We
would not be loyal sons of labor if we
did not raise our voice in protest
against the atrocities committed by
the ruling classes in Ireland" He also
spoke against proposed censorship of
moving pictures.

Question
(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, March 22.-Bishop
Yoshyahira Iva, of the Japanese Meth
odist church, now here, declared that
while he was in Washington Count
Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador
expressed the belief that the Harding
administration would adopt the Nor
ris-Shidehara agreement as the final
settlement of the Japanese situation
in California. The Japanese public,
said the bishop, is anxiously awaiting
news of this character. He added that
the Morris -Shidehara agreement would
be satisfactory to the japanese peo-
pie, but leaves unsolved the problem
of racial expansion, which is press
ing one.
The Japanese he said still look to-
ward the western hemisphere as the
only logical ground for immigration,
but contrary to the belief in this coun-
try, they are willing to amalgamate
with the people among whom they set
tie.
Japan does not want Hawaii or
the Philippines" said the bishop. "The
present friction however, has been
greatly augmented by the sudden in
crease of garrisons and the extensive
Notifications being erected there.
Frankly the Japanese people are eX-
tremely nervous over the possibility of
aggression from a nation of such
power and wealth as the United
States. They do not contemplate the

Clara Smith Hamon, the girl who has
Just been acquitted Of the Staying of
Multimillionaire Jake Hamon at Ard
more, Okla, when she comes here with
her sister, Mrs. Van Allen James of

brief visit to the home of her parents
in Ell Paso, Tex, before coming to
California, according to a statement
here today of Van Allen James.
'They were undecided in their plans"
said Mr.. James, today, "and while
Clara Hamon will come here for visit
with my wife she probably will whit
with her folks in Ell Paso for few
days on the way out. They did not
say just when they planned to leave
Ardmore, but expected to soon."
Clara Smith Hamon and her sister,
Mrs. James, both were baptised at
the Sunday services in the First
Christian church at Ardmore, accord
ing to word received here today, the
rite being performed by the Rev. Dr.
c. S. Brooks.
While it was announced that Clara
Smith Hamon had signed contract
with an Oklahoma film company to
produce number of pictures, it was
said by her relatives here that the pic
lures will be of moral and uplifting
nature and lack entirely the morbid,
sordid and sex features that have fig
ured so largely in her life and her
trial.
