SPECIAL TRAINING
IS REQUIRED OF
THE COUNTY CLERK
Remarkable Success OF MAJOR
Cook in Public office Rep
resents Result of Hard
implication TO Business

MAJOR >. COOK began MS cd-
reer in Imperial Valley farm
ing rough piece Of land in the
HoltvilIe section of the county.
Pioneering was no holiday,
whatever romance may attach
to it now as it is viewed from
the distance Of a score of years.
Those were days when there
were no electric fans, nothing
but muddy water to drink, no
ice and after the first Of May
they served butter in a teacup
and spread it with a spoon.
The people who came here then
had nerve and determination,
resource and faith. There were
no public offices to aspire to.
If anyone should one day get
to be j. P. that was the top.
"Office hours" on the ranch
were sun-up to shutdown. Then,
after Major had done the
chores, prepared his own meal
and attended to sundry other
unfinished business he was
through. Nothing to do till to-
morrow.
Major Cook was not the first
clerk, but he was the first Greg
ular" clerk. The S. 0. S. was
flashed to him after the job
had become too hot for others
to hold and the realization had
come to all who had business
with the county clerks office
that there could be no foolish
ness about that thing any more.
If public business were not to
be scrambled and get into an
ineXtricable mess there must be
someone on the job who knew
how to conduct it.
And so Major Cook was call
ed and he has been on the job
ever since, raising the standard
of service from a state of which
the less said the better until
the Imperial County office is
now regarded as a model of
order and efficiency.
AT certain seasons office
hours in the county clerk S
office are not so much better
than they were out on the ranch
in the old days. When you and
| begin to think of the hills and
the seashore things begin to
happen in the county clerks Of
flee. The summer is the time
when duties are most strenuous
and there has been many a
summer when Major Cook has
been on the job nearly every
day, taking care of the intricate
detail of primary election or
looking after some of the other
things which have to have at
tention then and cannot wait
until a more convenient sea-
son.
The county clerks office is
no sinecure. The work is ex-
acting and it calls for high
degree of clerical skill. Proba-
bly, there are not many even of
the successful business men of
Imperial County who could
step into the county clerks Of
flee and "get away" with it. A
successful administration O f
the county clerks office re-
quires not only a high order of
talent in the handling of sys-
TENS, but. special understand
ing of professional character.
a knowledge of the law both as
to general procedure as deter

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The genera
trend in today's restricted trading or
the New York Exchange was upward

few of the high grade industrials and
specialties for which there has been a
good investment demand.
Wall streets optimistic view of the

foreign exchanges were reflected in the
strength of opening pric~S. After the

the market lapsed into pronounced dull

noon hour by an attack of the short in

forthcoming and prices rallied and held

also advanced in the face of further
price cuts for crude oils and gasoline,
substantial gains being recorded by
Texas company, Cosden and Phillips
petroleum. This unlocked for strength
was attributed in some quarters to the
covering OF short contracts.
Rails In Demand
Low grade rails were in good demand,
Chicago and Alton shares showing con-
spicious strength in this group. Other
rails held firm on limited dealings. Re
ports have been current that many of
the high grade rail and industrial stocks
traded in recently have been accumulated
by strong interests and Withdrawn from
the market diminishing the floating
supply.
Sugar stocks were strong on reports
of increased prices for crude and refined
pro6pdcts and statistics indicating that
the available Cuban supply would be vir-
tually exhausted before the new crop

sympathy.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. "a gloomy
view of foreign political conditions and
much liquidation of long contracts on the
part of recent buyers were against values
in the cotton market today almost from
the start. Following net advances of 8
to Is points in the early trading the mar
ket commenced to break and the declin-
ing tendency remained in force until
about mid-session when the trading po-
sitions were Al to 20 points under the
closing quotations of yesterday. October
first advanced to 81. so and then fell back
to 2070. In the late trading the tone was
somewhat steadier as the result of profit
taking on-the short side. Fhe close was
at net declines of 81 to As points with
October at 2O.95.
October was the weakest month and
stood 20 points down when March stood

new FEATURES OF
BUICK AUTOMOBILE
Engines Have Been Fitted With Longer
PGstons and Connecting Rods, and
Other Changes.

No single season in recent years has
seen SO many improvements in Buick
cars as the present one; and never has
the Buick line been 50 complete.
The engine. for example. is fitted
with longer pistons and connecting rods,
adding to the smoothness and long wear
for which the Buick engine has always
been noted. A new rear spring suspen-
sion has been devised which undoubtedly
is the highest development of the con-
tilener type yet achieved. The frame,
the transmission, the rear axle. the
brakes. the bodies and their equipment.
each shows the hand of the skilled de-
signer by some new and valuable fea-
lures.
Class "a" Risks.
The insurance companies have rated
all fourteen models as Glass "a" fire
risks, because of the safety of their cleo
trical and gasoline systems, and have
materially reduced the theft insurance
rates. This means big saving in insur-
ance premiums over cars not so rated;
it also indicates the close attention to de-
tail that has been paid to these Buick
cars for the season Of 1928.
AS in the case of the six cylinder mod
els, the Buick four cylinder cars have
been redesigned this season. not merely
in the sense of giving them a new ap-
pearance, but with the object of making
them better and more efficient automo-
biles in every department of motoring
service.
These changes begin with the frame,
which has been entirely redesigned, and
continue through the important mechani-
cal units of the car, from an easier and
simpler method Of oiling the rocker arms
to an improved method of driving the
speedometer.
Graceful Appearance.
The body is larger and roomier, with
lower lines and added grace of appear
ance. There are new and improved FEM
ders, top, windshield, headlights, side
curtains.
There is an improved spring suspension,
new upholstery, improved dash equip
ment, new arrangement Of seats, longer
and lower steering column, and number
OF other features that add materially to
riding and driving comfort.
There is a transmission lock to prevent
theft which reduces insurance rates ma
terially. Other improvements place the
Buick Four in Glass "a" as fire insurance
risks, securing for the owner lower in
surance rates.
These are part. and only part, of the
changes that apply to all four cylinder
models. Each model has it's own special
improvements, because each has been re-
designed as unit.

MANY ACRES TO BE
GIVEN TO SATSUMAS
Land Company at ChipIey Sells 600
Acres Which Will Be Used
For Satsuma Groves.

CHIPLEY, Aug. 3.-During the past
few years several parties have sue
cessfully planted satsuma oranges
here. The trees have grown and
matured wonderfully well and the
fruit compares favorab1y with that
from any section where these oranges
are being grown. AS result of these
experiments, there is being great in
terest manifested in the preparation
of lands to be set to satsuma's during
the early fall and winter.
Lands are selling rapidly now to
home folks and from people from
other sections who are paying from
ten to fifty dollars per acre, according
to. the location of the lands. We'd
nesday the Dekle Land Company
closed a deal in which they disposed
of 600 acres to one party at a nice
price, which is to be set in oranges
during the next few months.
Several men Of wide experience in
the growing of the satsuma, give it
as their opinion that the country
around Chipley, Wausau and down
through Holmes valley will grow
them equal to Baldwin County, Ala
bama, or any other section where
they are being successfully grown.

TWO BASEBALL
GAMES TODAY

The Valley City Hi-Liners meet the
Fargo Athletics In a double header
today. The first game is called for
800 o'clock this afternoon and the
second game at 6:15 this evening. The
Hi-Liners played the Athletics at Far
go yesterday afternoon in an exhibit
ion game which was set aside from
the Dakota league schedule and iIad
no bearing on the club percentage Of
games won but the Hi-Liners are not
far behind them in the number of
games won even though the percent
age places the locals at the bottom of
the league. The Hi-Liners were the
first team to defeat Fargo this year
and have been strengthened somewhat
since that time. They expect to give
the visitors an interesting time today
and at least split the series with them.
Finch pitches the first game and
Boardman will be on the mound for
the evening game. Finch is hitting
his stride now and will be able to hold
the Athletics if he receives any sup
port. Charley Bcardman is anxious to
chalk up a win against his old team
mates and will be pitching his best in
the evening game, and that means
that they will have to be real hitters
to connect with his offerings. All U.
C. T. members will be admitted free
to all Dakota league games while in
the city and large crowds are expect
ed to be in attendance at both games
today.

ATHLETICS WIN
FROM Hl-LINERS

The Fargo Athletics invaded the
city yesterday for double header and
left last night with both games hang
ing at their belts. They nosed out the
Hi-Liners in the afternoon game by
4 to 3 score and took the evening
game at 3 to 2. Both games were
good games to watch but the locals
seemed unable to annex enough runs
to hold the visitors. In the afternoon
both teams had two earned runs but
in the evening game the Hi-Liners
earned both of their runs while the
Athletics obtained their runs on pass
ed balls. Gilbert was the star in the
afternoon game, getting several hard
catches at third and spelling hits for
the visitors. Finch only allowed six
hits, two Of which were sketchy, but
he failed to strike out any men. Two
errors by Drost, substitute short stop,
contributed the Athletics win in the
afternoon.
In the evening game Boardman held
the visitors to four scattered hits and
struck out 10 men but was unable to
keep the visitors from getting men on
the bags. None of the runs were
earned, all being obtained on passed
balls, two of these being errors on
the part of Hart. Hart has been SUBJ
stituting as catcher and has been do
ing a mighty good job of it but his
arm and hand have become sore from
the heavy work and this fact, coupled
with the fact that he is playing out
of his position, allowed the visitors to
pilfer the bags and get runs across.
Wiedell scored first when Hart made
an overthrow to Boardman in an at
tempt to catch Wiedell at the plate.
Wingfield drew applause from the
crowd by his exhibition of nerve in the
fourth. In attempting to steal third
he was. hit in the head by a ball
thrown by Hart. The ball knocked
"Wing" down and rebounded to the
grand stand. "Wing" attempted to
run home but fell down three or four
times and finally was unable to rise
when only a few feet from the plate.
The ground rules give a base runner
a base when passed ball hits the
stand and so Wingfield was helped
across the plate for a score as soon
as he was able to walk. Carr went
on first for "Wing" in the last half
of the inning.
The box scores and summaries on
the afternoon and evening games fol-
low in the order given.
