FLIP INO ASKS
FACTS ONLY BE
TAKEN BY u S.
Islander Says People OF
His Land Loyal to
America

Note.-The following article was
written by Filipino of Imperial,
who says there is some misundef-
standing in this valley of the lnten-
tions of his people.
BY Santiago A. Yboa
Whatever may be the ultimate
verdict of the Philippine Islands as
TO the plea for self government, the
Filipino. people will always remain
ftithful and loyal to the American
people as they have practiced from
time to time in the most frank ana
solemn manner. Whenever the
American government should IN
volve any trouble with other nation
in the future, the Philippine gov
eminent will always adhere to the
American cause and ideal for hui
manitv, Justice and equality.
These are the expressions convey
ed to the writer by his countrymen'
with whom he has many times been
associated. Although, for many
years American travellers have oceh
embarked in n never-ceasing cam
naign of misrepresentations and hes
about the Filipinos in the l. >
through the public newspapers ana
magazines, American people were
not impressed very much IN their
mind. as there was no ground to
convince them.
On the contrary, they believe that
Filipinos are educated and civilized
like the other civilized people on
earth. In Imperial Valley alone,
for misunderstanding out other
places where they had heen-nearly
all the Filipinos who have been here
during the crop season working are
spoken highly of by the growers
who always expressed highly their
appreciation and gratitude for the
friendly and cordial relations. Now
the Philippine government has ere
ated n bureau in Washington, u. {.
in order that such biased, false. err.
roneous accusation upon the Fill
pino should be checked up and gen
uinc information and real facts
about the Philippine Islands and it,
people could be easily obtained
there.
This short period of association
and experience with the American
people would indelibly mark or
stamp us q lasting Renaissance and
such kind treatment would, of
course. be remembered and hcraldcd
through the public press.

NEW DESERT TOWN
BOOMS AS GYPSUM
INDUSTRY GROWS
Town Grows Up Over
Night as Shipping
Point for Product

The early DAYS Of the valley are
being re-enaeted again in the rapid
development of the new townsite on
the San Diego Highway, short dis
stance beyond Dixieland. This new
town has been named Dunaway, in
honor of sam Dunawav, one of the
prime movers behind it, and already
a number of houses and buildings
Of various kinds have sprung up,
ard there is a movement on foot to
have an official railroad station by
the same name installed.
The big factor behind this new
townsite is the wonder product of
the desert, gypsum. Gypsum is be
ing mined in large quantities at a
point several miles away on the
desert, aud Dunaway. ON account of
being located strategically on the
San Diego and Arizona Railway,
was chosen as the logical shipping
point. A railroad has been built
direct from DuHaway to the mines,
and the raw product is being ship
ped in carload lots to the former
point. where a crusher and other ex-
pensive machinery has been in
stalled for pulverizing 1t for com
mercial uses.
Gypsum is one of The oldest build
ing materials known, and was used
extensively in structural and orna
mental work long before the time of
Christ. The Temple of Bassae, built
40 B. G., and the pyramids, erected
1000 years ago, both are splendid
examples Of the use Of this mater
ial.
Plaster of Paris Is product
Plaster of Paris is the name often
applied TO caleined gysum and de-
rived its name by reason of large
deposits Of gypsum near Paris,
France. In France and Germany
gypsum is used for many building
purposes, both inside and out, and
in orr own country is largely used
for interior plastering. The United
States Government during the late
war used much of it in reinforced
gypsum roofs.
Gypsum usually occurs in beds of (
from four to 80 feet in thickness
and is secured in IS states, Alaska, !
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and |
Ontario, Canada.
The development of the local
gypsum deposits furnishes a fasein-
ating story of victory over big
odds, as many difficulties offered !
by the desert have had to be solved |
and overcome before the CONNER
eialized product could be shipped.
Sam Dunaway, well known in FL
Centric, together with other local
men, are behind this new industry.
which bids fair to become one Of
the most renowned of Imperial Val
ley products.
Several carloads Of the product |
are already being shipped daily, |
and plans are under way to increase
facilities to insure greater produc-
tion.

Paper pulp, ether, alcohol, oil,

are some of the products made from

much dreaded by the navigator of

Diempsey-Willard
Bout is Planned
at L. A. Meeting

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 12.-Jack
Kearns, manager for Jack Dempsey,
and Ray Archer and Gene Doyle,
handlers for jess Willard, plan to
hold n conference late today to dis
cuss a definite arrangement for a

of this money, the match could be
arranged for Decoration Day or

TANNING WITH FARRELL
HORNSBY-GREAT BATTING STAR
By HENRY L. FARRELL

lnlIpu ItSS ppuIlo
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Rogers
Hornsby, the great star of the st.
Louis Cardinals, was the outstanding
hitter and slugger of the 1922 base
ball season.
For the third successive year, he
led the National League hitters, ac-
cording to the official averages re-
leased today.
His average of .4O13 is the high
est mark made by any National
League hitter since Ed Delehanty
was the champion in 1899 with .40s,
With go hits over the season 5
run, he also broke the record of 243
hits made in 1897 by Willie Keller.
His total of AZ homers made him
baseball s smuggling king for the sea-
son and broke all National League
records.
Hornsby also led in run scoring
with 141 runs to his credit, Max
Carey, the fleet Pirate being just
one behind him.
Hornsby also led in doubles with
46, while Jake Daubert, of the Reds
had the honors in triples with %
with Rabbit Meanwhile, Pittsburgh
second with Is and Hornsby third
with IA.
General improvement in batting Is
noticed in the average, although the
number of 800 hitters in 1921 was
50 against 50 for the past season.
With the exception of Hornsby, al
most q new.race of batting kings
came into power in 1922.
Among the first 90 on this year s
roll of honor, Emil Meusel, the
Giant outfielder, was the only ono
who did not do better than his 1927
average. He fell down only slightly
however, from .343 to $50.
Casey Stengel, the rejuvenated
orphan of the National League, was
one of the biggest sensations of the
year. Working as a regular with
the Giants he jumped his average
from .2s4 to 1868.
Fonseca, the Cincinnati infielder
hoped from .276 to .361, but he is
young player and his improve
ment was more to be expected. An.
other youngster who came fast was
Cotton Tierney, the Pirate infield-
er, who hoped his average from
.29s to .345.
The following table shows what
improvement was made among tho
first 20 batters:
