play Of products and manufactures is
not for the qualification of the man
agement of the chamber primarily
but for the benefit of all the residents
of the valley as it has strong in
fluence in bringing in new settlers and
we all realize that-With greatly in
creased population and more inten-
sive farming methods the valley would
be more prosperous. The producer
would realize greater profits for the
labor expended and at the same time
the consumer would be more gener-
ously and economically supplied with
the necessaries of life.
The chamber does not see how this
desire can be gratified without the
cooperation Of the producers. If the
growers of agricultural and horticul-
tural produces that have fine speci-
mems will bring them to the head
quarters of the chamber, the secre-
tary will be glad to acknowledge
them through the Press and to labe
them with the kind and variety of the
product and the name of the produc-
er. A little friendly rivalry along this
line will tend to bring out the very
best the valley produces in any giver
line.

FOREIGN MARKETS
MUST BE RESTORED

The National Agricultural Confer
ence certainly took swift action at
it's recent meeting and on great
many subjects. The dirt farmer
seems to know what he needs and at
last is in position to get it as re-
suit of the famous farm bloc" in
Congress. One significant develop
ment that is causing considerable
discussion in newspapers and period
icals, was the apparent face about on
the isolation policy which seemed to
have been favored at the last presi-
Dental election. Hear this; ''That
the American Government partici-
pate in such conferences which are
not contrary to national policy in
regard to the economic restoration of
Europe-there being no doubt of the
sentiment for participation in the
Genoa conference, although Genoa
was not specifically meraioned."
And it is said that one speaker
got obvious applause when he said
that America ought to be fully re-
presented on the Reparation Com
mission. There seemed to be a con-
viction on the part of the confer
.ence that European markets must be
restored in some way if American
farmers are to return to prosperity.

GAS SITUATION (
INVESTIGATED
Pasadena Capitalist in Ell Cen
trO With VieU to PrOUiding
This Commodity Again

Samuel II. Gunder, said to be q
man of means, of Pasadena, is in III
Centre investigating the question of
re-establshing gas service. This is
MIR. Gunder's third trip to the city or
the same mission and this time he is
accompanied by Mr.. Murray Taylor,
an engineer and expert in all matters
pertaining to gas plants.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of The Press, Mr.. Gunder signi-
fled that he is we'll persuaded that
there IS field for the gas business
here and that as wide-awake COM
munity 'El Centre ought to encourage
such an enterprise. Nothing will be
required in financial way, accord
ing to Mr.. Gunder, for he and his as
sociates have ample means to finance
the project, but that he does regard
it as important to know the wishes OF
the people in the matter and in par
ticular whether they would give the
enterprise support with their patron
age if it were established.
1t is probable that some sort of a
post card referendum will be made
with the idea of determining this
point as far as practicable and that
the decision with reference to further
moves in the matter will rest upon
the decision of the people.

VETS OF MEXICALI
CONCERNED OVER
DRY RUMORS
President ObregOn's Policy of
Prohibition Pointed to as
Significant

."Wets" of Mexicali are reported
evidencing considerable concern over
recent press association dispatches
out of Mexico City carrying the in
formation that there is an actual pos
sibility that prohibition is in store for
the Mexican nation.
Coming so soon after Governor
Inocente Lugo's statement to The
Press that prohibition is prospec-
tive policy for the future along the
entire border, the less optimistic and
hopeful "wets" see in the reports
from the Mexican Capital significance
enough to cause some doubt and
speculation as to the permanency of
their liquor interests across the line
from Calexico.
Although the more confident of the
"wets" openly scout the probability
of Governor Lugo taking initiative in
prohibition regulations in his district,
others interested in liquor businesses
at Mexicali point out that it would
not be the governors policy but Presi-
dent Obregon's, applying what are
believed to be his present principles
to operate at later date.
The dispatches from Mexico City
assert that plans embody first "dry-
ing" up the capital and then,. through
the steady and increasing pressure of
excessive taxation on liquor traffic,
effecting total prohibition throughout
the nation.
1t is pointed out as significant that
saloons, cantinas and clubs have al
ready been put under more drastic
restrictions and that few weeks ago
President Obregon decreed an in
crease Of federal revenue taxes on
alcoholic drinks amounting to 100
per cent. Increase of these taxes until
they become prohibitive is planned,
according to rumors.
Another straw in the wind, point
ing toward President Obregon's re-
puted prohibition tendencies, is re-
ported recent statement that the
president intended issuing an order
forbidding planting of the Mexican
maguey plant, chief base of the most
popular Mexican intoxicant.
Prominent and influential members
of President Obregon's cabinet are
said to be constantly urging prohibi-
ton upon President Obregon. Secre-
tary of Interior Gales and Secretary
of the Treasury de la Huerta are the
chief proponents of drying up
Mexico, according to Mexico City re-
ports of recent date. ten

FIREMEN'S BALL IS TO
BEELABORATE This
SEASON

Elaborate preparations for the 18Th
annual firemen's Colonial Ball, one of
the gala occasions of the FL Centre
winter season, are being completed
today by the committee in charge.
Appearance of the "White Caps"
for the first time today on the down.
town streets marked the signal to III
Centre that the firemen are actively
promoting,
Arrangements for the ball include
this year the service of seven n-piece
orchestra, elaborate decorations for
the hall, including an accurate repro
duction of colonial portico to be
built on the stage and costumed char
acters representing George and Mar
tha Washington and other celebrities
of Old Colonial days.
The Woman's Ten Thousand Club
has consented to take over the duty
Of serving the luncheon at the ball.
A huge punch bowl will always be
available during the dance.
Arrangements include opening the
ball at the Masonic Temple at $3.50
O'Clock. The purpose OF the affair is
to provide maintenance fund for
club rooms at fire station and to sup
ply money to contribute to various
charitable campaigns conducted in 81
Ell Centre from time to time
The occasion is being anticipated
this season with great deal of pleas
ure as the Firemen's Ball, perhaps a
bit different from like affairs in
ether cities, is one of the prime social
events Of the year.
The committee in charge this year
is composed of J. F. Livingston, chair
man; Emory Girard, Harold Ives, E.
A. Leach and Jno. Perry.

organizer and have created more OF
less CONSERVATION in the camp Of the
klan by unduly pressing the question
of the propriety OF violence and init
midation in the correction of socia
and civic evils. The idea of there
being anything of this sort in the op-
erations of the Klan is strenuously
denied and assurance given that only
gentle suasion is employed in any
case where a person might seem tC

figures are not available as to how
many have submitted applications

Weber Recital Great Success

The musical given at the Christian
church by Miss Elizabeth Greer, pupi
of Prof. Elmer Todd, was an unqual-
flied success. The audience was large
and most appreciative. Miss Greer,
young as she is, shows an extraord-
mary talent in being able to play
music of the most difficult without
notes. Her memory was tested to the
utmost in the compositions by c. M
Won Weber played Friday evening at
the recital. The Boys and Girls Giee
clubs Of the high school added very
greatly to the pleasure of the audi
ence and the "Toast to the High
School," composed by Professor Todd
and sung for the first tine by the
Boys Club fairly brought down the
house. Mr.. Todd expects to give d
series of these recitals for the pleas
ure of music lovers of El Centre dur
ing the winter. If al. are as good as
the one Of last week end, they will
add very greatly t. the musical life
Of the city.

Then next he said: Give me a special grand jury and I will carry out the pledge we made We gave him the special grand jury, and now, here in the closing hours of this session, just before the cam paign, he comes along and says that the United States government can not afford to use the ordinary pro cesses, even in these civil cases of war frauds, but that the United States government is so discredited in the outlying districts of the United States that he proposes to bring the suits in the District of Columbia, and that you must give him the right to bring witnesses from any part of the nation
 That is his last excuse. 1 think 1t is extraordinary.
