Cutting Off the Last Word.

Archeologists have recently been
puzzled over the finding of the head
less body of an Egyptian princess in
an ancient tomb. 1t seems that the
question as to how the lady lost her
head is important in archeologic
circles.
In certain Oriental countries it is
customary for the head of the house,
in the event of a domestic argument,
to behead the lady, thus cutting the
lady as well as the argument short.
Doubtless, the last words that issued
from the lips of the headless princess
were: where have you been?'-

youngster threw her arms around
mothers neck and exclaimed:

NOVEL MEANS USED

American ingenuity in contriving
jobs for the jobless to tide over the
present unemployment emergency is
shown by hundreds of reports sub
mitted to Colonel Arthur Woods, of

ployment, from cities and towns all
over the United States. Many mayors
take great pride in the novel means

of an address by w. E. Stevenson at
Social Hall last night. About sixty
were seated at the supper represent
ing the workers in the Bible School
and young people in the various de-
partments. Among other most ex-
cellent points made by Mr.. Stevenson,
was recommendation that the CO.
ordination of all agencies in the city
doing work with and for young people
to the end that strength may be gain
ed in counseling together. All have
heir problems, many of which could
be more readily solved, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Stevenson, did the leaders
come together at stated intervals and
discuss them. The aims of all are
the same purpose, the building of
character and the preparation Of boys
and girls for duties that will be theirs
when the responsibilities of citizen
ship and business rests upon them.
None can gainsay that United
Strength is strongest, and Mr.. Stew

advocating reduction of railway

perior Judge Conkling last night ad-
dressed the McCabe Farm Center

Judge Conkling held that present
motor transit in freight haulage was
economically unjust to the railroads,

at heavy expenses and taxed by gov

virtually maintained for motor tran
sit concerns the very right-of-ways
over which they operated.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 10
What percentage Of !, ex-soldiers will

is troubling legislators at Washing
ton. Results of referendum votes con-
Quoted by the American Legion in
widely separated localities indicate
that the choice Of the five provisions
Of the bill would largely depend on
the varying geographical and eco
nomic conditions existing in the dlf-
ferent sections of the country.
More than 80 per cent of 5000
Pennsylvania veterans chose paid-up
insurance in recent poll. On the
other hand, two-thirds of the CLOG
Iowa ex-soldiers that voted chose, to
receive cash. This fact has been at
tributed to the hardships accruing
from agricultural depression there.
The referendum was conducted by the
Iowa Legionnaire, an official Legion
Publication, and showed the state to
be strong for compensation, only two
negative votes having been cast.
If Kansas balloting were to be
taken as a criterion, less than one
half of all ex-service men would ask
for ready cash. At Wichita sc per-
cert of Legion members signified they
wished cash, and at Atchison 35 per-
cent. The latter post favored paid-up
insurance, while Wichita cast ma

feature of the bill.

Marine Corps worked on the basis
that so per cent of army men and IS
percent of navy men would elect cash

with the Navy and Marine Corps

EX-S0LDIERS in
CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-How
many veterans of the war will be
sent to Congress at the November
elections is a question upon which
there is much speculation in Con-
gressional circles. A canvass by the
American Legion shows that at pres
ent 81 members of the House are ex
service men, and two senatOrs-New-
berry, Michigan; and Elkings, West
Virginia.
With the entire membership of the
House to be elected in November, it is
generally conceded here that, when
votes are counted, it will be found
that the number of ex-service men in
that body has been materially in
creased. The outcome in the Senate,
where third of the seats are at
stake, is entirely problematical.
Twenty-one states are represented
|by ex-service men in Congress. New
York leads with four members. Mass

with three each. The complete list is

SAY VALLEY
PROSPECTS
BRIGHT

Superior Judge M. w. Conkling was
the afterdinner speaker yesterday at
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon,
talking on "Realizable Ideals for I'm
perial Valley" In the judgment Of
Judge Conkling, keen observer as he
is, Imperial County is better off as an
agricultural district than any other
of it's kind in the United States.
It's ability to weather the storm, was
due to the fact that here farmers
have been able to raise certain spec
ialties that have brought high prices
when staples were being marketed at
loss he said, but the speaker would
not advise that these specialties be
depended upon for future prosperity.
A farming community must depend
upon the production of staples and as
conditions now are, the farmer IS rals-
ing those things at a loss, the speak
er declared. Higher prices for COM
modities can not be expected; the
the remedy lies in cheaper produc-
tion costs.
Chiefly, he believes that it is im9
perative that lower railroad rates be
secured, and soon. Just how to ac-
complish this desired end, he was not
prepared to advise. eff the man who
is raising alfalfa hay today could get
his product to the market at the rate
paid before the war, he could make a
nice profit. AS it is, he is barely able
to raise it without loss. Whether
railroads should have lower taxes, OF
cheaper labor, l.. order to obtain re.
suits desired, is question to be de-
cided. Possibly the remedy may lie II
truck competition, but trucks are re-
sponsible for much of the cost Of up
keep on the highways and so far have
borne very small proportion Of sait
costs" Mr.. Conkling said.
"One of the things that lmperia
/ County can and must have, is a nev
court house. The speaker believes tina
every section Of the valley srecog
nizes this need and that other town
of the valley would support bond is
sue for this purpose. Calexico shoul'
have Federal building and every sec
! ton of the County should get behin'
| it. Imperial should have the unitet
support of the county in the Count!
Fair project, and other towns shoult
be helped to realize their needs what
ever they may be-" said the Judge.
But over and above all, there mus
be the building of the storage dam OF
the upper Colorado. In his opinion
the question of who is to have th'
power when the project is finished il
entirely secondary with the storage
a reality, the Laguna dam can cheap
ly and easily be raised Is feet ant
so make it possible for three or foul
thousand acres to be irrigated. 1t viii

enough and to spare for all and thu
prosperity Of the one will be the pros
perity Of Doth sections. We are tn
gateway and the storehouse of pro
| duction below the line.
Judge Conkling believes that w
should keep right on in our efforts
for the storage dam. Congress is be
set with how 10 raise money for thu
soldier bonus proposition and Othe,
things, but we must not give up til
our turn comes and the dam is

Chicago continues to prove the
best market for Imperial Valley "Ice-
berg" lettuce, moving the greatest
carload lots at the best prices. Yes
terday's shipments showed eight con-
signed to the Chicago buyers.
Lettuce growers as d whole are
satisfied with the standing Of the
market throughout the season, which
with the exception OF few WHO lost
owing to the freeze of q few weeks
ago, has been profitable one for the
valley growers.
