new STATUARY

Three pieces of choice statuary have

favorable comment. Busts of Shakes

collection, which will be added to from
time to time.
The library has been retinted and
refinished this summer. The book
shelves have been put in exact order,
with few changes in arrangement. Hun
'dreds of books have been neatly re
paired by the staff during the dull

OBRECON ORDER
LITTLE EFFECT,
Is BELIEF HERE

The order of President Obregon di
recting strict regulation of Mexican
emigration to this country has, on the
face of it, serious aspect for employ.
ers of labor in Imperial valley.
That labor can only come in here
under contract and guarantees as to
wages and sustenance, and other pro
visions, if put into actual force would
prove q decided obstacle to the indus
tries OF Imperial valley.
But employers on this side the line
do not appear to take seriously the
proclamation issued by President Obre-
gon and promulgated at official head
quarters at Mexicali. One prominent
FL Centran farmer and professional
man, said today: 81 don't think the
order will have any appreciable effect
on the situation. There is no way to
prevent laborers from Mexico coming
across the line and going where they
choose to work. They have always
done so and they will keep on doing it.
In my Judgment the order was issued
as an issue to trade on in any new
agreement that grows out of reeogni-
tion of the Mexican government by
the United States which now seems
about to be DONE
Another prominent citizen of the
county who has had long experience
in Mexico in big enterprises, expressed
himself in similar manner. ''That
manifesto will not stop them from
coming,'' said this man. 81 don t
think it will make bit of difference
in the labor situation in this valley -
The same opinions were expressed by
other men, so reasonable conclus'
ion is that there will be no Tightening
of the labor market here.

HUBBY ABUSIVE,
WIFE ASKS Aid
TO LEAVE HIM
Pretty Woman with League
of Nations Romance Goes
to Mexico to Live

A. w. Swanson, in the capacity of
probation officer and charity agent for
Imperial county, frequently has queer
cases brought to his attention, and had
one today which he believes is unusual
as an example of nationalities. A come
lv young woman with two children ap-
peared at his office and asked for as
sistance as she had run away from her
husband. Noticing puzzling accent
in her speech, Mr. Swanson asked her
nationality and she told him her grand
father had been an Englishman of noble
birth and something of a globe frotter.
In the course of his wanderings, he
reached Persia and fell in love with
Persian damsel, and they were married.
Two daughters were born to them, and
on a trip to Sweden, one of them fell in
love with a Swedish engineer, whom she
married. The woman who sought Mr..
Swanson s help was daughter of this
marriage, thus having English, Persian
and Swedish blood in her veins. Her
father in the course of his engineer
ing work, took his family all over the
world, settling for some time in Mex
leo, where he had extensive mining in
terests. Abut 10 years ago, while travel
ing from Mexico to Los Angeles, she
and her father stopped off in Ell Centre
and stayed here about two days. At
that time she was about l3 years old.
Two years ago while living in Texas,
she fell in love with an American sold
ier who had been gassed in France and
they were married. Due to his ex-
periences in France her husband was ex-
tremely Jealous. and frequently threat
ened her life. Later they came to the
coast, and he became so abusive that
she was forced to leave him. In her
nervous condition, she could only think
of one place where she could be safe
from him, and that was FL Centre, so
she arrived here with her children, pen
niless and friendless.
After telling her story to Mr.. Swan
son, she said she thought friends i'll
Mexico would take care of her, and be-
ieving she would be charge on the
if she remained here, he advane-
ed her sufficient money to reach that
and escorted her to an east
bound train. Fearing her husband
might follow her if he learned where
she was, the woman requested Mr..
Swanson to withhold her name and
destination and promised to refund the
money he avaneed her as soon as she
was able to do so.

y Shipping Dairy Cows-An FL Centre
realtor said this morning that 80 car
loads of dairy cows have been shipped
out of Imperial Valley during the last
go DAYS. These cows, he SAID, are
among the best TO be had, for they
have been bought by coast dalrymen
who are going to use them in their
dairies there and they do not want any
but the kind that are profitable ami
mails. This man said these shipments
are due to the fact that so much alfal-
ia has been plowed up to get the land
for cantaloupes. This has increased
rents to such a figure that dairying viii
not stand for it.

by which it may be known and re
cognized in market. as being authority
entitled to be received at the price OF
value stamped thereon. The authority
which coins Of stamps itself upon the
article can select such substance il
may deem suitable to receive the
stamp and pass as money; and it car
fix what value it deems proper, in
dependent of the intrinsic value of the
material upon which it is affixed. The
currency value is in the stamp when
used as money, and not in the material
independent of the stamp. In other
words, the money quality is the auth
GRITTY which makes it current, and
gives it the power to accomplish the
purpose for which it was created
the power to pay debts"
And again the . S. Supreme Court
says:
"Whatever power there is wei the
currency is vested in Congress. If
the power to declare what is money is
not in Congress it is annihilated. * y =
No one ever doubted that a debt of
$1,000 contracted before 1884 could be
paid 100 eagles coined after that year
though they contained no more gold
than 81 eagles such as were coined
when the contract was made and this
not because of the intrinsic value of
the coin, but because of it's legal value
the eagles coined after 1884 were not
money until they were authorized by
law and had they been coined before
without a law fixing their legal value,
they could ne more have paid a debt
than uncoined bullion or cotton or
wheat, = * * The coinage act fixes its
unit as a dollar, but the gold or silver
thing we call a dollar is in no sense a
standard of a dollar. 1t is a represen-
tative of it. j. We repeat, money
is a printed legal decree"
In spite Of all the cry about fiat
money, all money is flat some discri-
mination in the law authorizing such
paper money, which will prevent it
from passing as currency for all do
nestle purposes such paper money viii
always remain at a par With the gold
money of the country. AS a matter OF
fact, there has been no money in the
history of u country that more
completely illustrated the use of fiat
money than the money issued under
the provisions of the Federal Reserve
] Act. Under the Federal Reserve Act
practically all of the money that has
been in circulation has been paper
money. About July 80, 1921, over
IT per centum of the general stock OF
gold in the United States was held by
the Federal Reserve Banks. June 80
1920, when we were in the midst OF
initiation and gradually reaching the
peak, there was only APIS, 900 gold
coin and SAL ,918,OOO gold certificates
in all of the reporting national
and state hanks. During that period
the test of the purchasing power OF
the dollar was not the percentage OF
gold reserves, but, rather, the volume
of money that was in circulation plus
the condition of bank credits.
