RATIFICATION OF THE TREATIES

When the disarmament conference was called it was

The agricultural extension service of
Imperial county, cooperating with the
bureau of biological survey, United
States department of agriculture, will
hold Il series of gopher and rabbit con
troll demonstrations in the valley on
March 27, 2S and 20. Everyone i'll the
valley realizes, the great need of con
trolling gophers, while the work on
rabbits will be given, due to a number
of complaints having come in that
these rodents were doing considerable
damage to young vegetables.
Mr.. f. Il. Garlough, specialist from
the bureau of biological survey, who
has been in this work for number of
years will demonstrate the b es t
methods of control of both these pests.
Mr.. Garlough has several new and CT
ficicnt methods of controlling rabbits
and all of these will be explained and
demonstrated. fully to the farmers of
the valley, us well as the best method
of gopher control.
Farmers who are really interested III
the Improvement of agricultural condi-
tions in the valley cannot afford to
miss these lectures and demonstrations.

DISTANCES RADIO
UNKNOWN
Bv II. L. KENDALL


According TO an executive of one OF
the companies most extensively inter
cstcd in the new art of giving enter
tainmcnt, instruction and news by
means of the wireless telephone, one
of the commonest of questions IS
cover how great distance can this
music be heard -
"We all admit said this cXpcrienc-
cd radio man, "that there is much We
do not know about radio telephony,
and the distance our concerts travel
without becoming inaudiblc, IS one OF
them.
1t is good deal the same as if you
were to stand OH the edge OF large
and very still pond, and toss Il small
pcbbIc out into the middle. You could
see quite plainly that there was clrclc
of waves surrounding the spot where
tbe pebble struck. You could also sec
that at the edges of the pond there
were no waves pcrccptiblc. But you
conld not pick out any particular spot
and sav "On this Side there are waves
visible, and on the other side they are
not visiblc!
There is much the same situation in
receiving wireless messages with tins
important differcncc-thc distance at
which messages are audible depends to
a great extent on the scnsitivencss OF
the receiving instrument. Because OF
this fact, "a concert entirely inaudlbie
on one receiving set might be very
clearly heard by another.
For example, the concerts sent out
from Newark, y. j. are quite plainly
heard by some radio amateurs in t1eye-
land, Ohio and not heard at all by
others.
While part of the difference is due
TO the different "hook-ups used, the
degree of amplifications employed, and
the scnsitivcness of the phones, a grer'
deal Of it is in the batteries employee
TO supply current TO the set.
Because of the great importance OF
the battery in this field, there have
been special types of batteries built
which are as different from the Ordln
arv Automobile storage battery as tat
| automobile battery is diffcrcht fron
one used to supply current for the llsh'
| img Of Pullman cars One Of these spc
rial radio batteries known as the All
Rubber battery is the product of th'
I'Willard Storage Battery Company. Thl
battery is entirely contained in Il ono
picccd rubber base, which effectively
prevents the leakage of current apo
therefore stops all ground noises The
| insuEtors between the plates are Of
the well known threaded rubber type
which permit each part Of every plate
to do an equal portion Of the work Of
supplying current and thereby prevent
| what is known as Fspottng or tho
wearing out of one portion while th'
rest Of the plate is in good condition
Because Of these improvements and tlt
consequent addition 10 quiet operation

WITHDRAWS NAME
FROM LIST OF
CANDIDATES

Since making a previous announce
ment that | would be candidate for
county treasurer at the August primary
election, the newspaper enterprise with
which had associated myself has de-
velopcd so rapidly, has SO outstripped
that was predicted for it, and
50 much more has been put upon me
than was contemplated in the beginning
that it now becomes very apparent that
| cannot do full Justice to both positions.
And so, i'll justice to the friends who
have complimentcd me with their con
fidcncc, and to the people of the county
with whom | feel aitscqually close rcla-
ltion, now make it known that l shall
not be candidate for pubic office at
the coming election.
In making this announcement | wish
to do something more than merely with
draw. | wish to withdraw III favor of
MIS-. Josephine NJ. Adair, the splcndidly
efficient deputy treasurer, and to urge
everyone who would have favored me
with his support to give that same en-
thusiastic support to Mrs. Adair. ! do
this wholeheartedly, for Mrs. Adair is
thoroughly capable and thoroughly
worthy. She has been deputy treasurer
for practically my entire term. She is
thoroughly familiar with every detail
of the office. She has grown up with
the new system whichS installed and
which has worked out with such success
and will continue it IN use if she is
elected She is in accord with the pol
ices of the office. with reference to
public funds and will also follow this
out, cndcavoring at all times to keep
faith with those who have business with
the treasurer IS office, but at the same
time to fully safeguard the interests
of the county.
Mrs. Adair's services i'll the treas
urcr : office do not constitute her only
record Of service nor her only clam
uuon the consideration of the people.
She served more than a year as clerk
of the Exemption board for Imperial
county and won a record for herself for
courteous, tactful and sympathetic
handling of many trying and dclicate
situations. Her work in rcchecklng ana
closing up the records of the Exemption
Board ready for shipment to Washing,
ton constitutes Il triumph of clerical
efficiency and in all Of the time since
the records were shipped it has not bceh
necessary for the adjutant generals Of
flee so much as 10 write and ask qucs
tion. 1 know that she will make an
honest. capable, conscientious treasurer
and | fully recommend her to the sup
port Of the people.

FIRST RADIO PHONE
in VALLEY AT
SEELEY

SEELEY, March 20.-Seeley is to be
the first town in Imperial Valley to
have a radiophonc, it was learned today.
Through the enterprise of one of its
young business men, Mr. \. L. Ezcli,
who is an ardent advocate Of electrical
progress, q radiophone, one of the
electrical wonders of the present cen
tury is being installed under his dircc-
tion in the public dance hall, where
''all hands, can "listcn in and hear
the singing Of Il prima donna soprano,
or concerts and organ rccitals. Dance
music, baseball, market and other news
reports are also included in what is
known Us the radiophone broadcasting
service, which this instrument will re-
oeive when installed.
The sensation already created here by
the arrival of this scientific novelty
Will doubtless be amplificd when the
news reaches the other cities i'll the
Valley that Scelev has the honor of
installing the first radiophonc for the
use of the public. Many, it is believed,
will travel far to, visit the instrument
and hear for themselves the wonderful
song and news waves it captures from
the air.
So far there are only fifteen large
hroadcasting 'radiophonc stations in the
United States, and of these three are
in California-two in San Franciato
and one in Los Angeles. One of the
San Francisco stations has range of
1000 miles. That of Los Angeles, 800
miles.
What is Il radiophonc? some will as k.
1t is wireless apparatus consisting
first of u transmttcr; second, of radio
energy converted into vibrations of the
ether and third, an instrument to in
tercept messages conveyed by radio
waves and called the receiver, which il
"tuned' to receive waves from broad
casting stations in various zones fror,
% miles up to 900 miles. The rccciv
ing set is equipped with Il telephone
headpiecc, IA dctcctor and Il one or two
step amplficr.
1t goes without saying that with the
installation of its radiophone Scelcy
will soon become a popular news center,
to say nothing of the novelty of dane
ing on 4 summer evening to the dc
lightful strains Of II full orchestra, con
veyed perhaps from the Los Angeles
station by radio.

Fay0rS Rural Police

Editor The Advertiser:
The campaign meeting at Cross Hill
today was largely attended, In fact,
think the largest crowd have ever
seen at similar gathering Every
body was in a good humor, and ey-
erything passed off pleasant. We es-
,pecially enjoyed the talks of our lady
candidates.
Mr.. w. T.. Gray and others touched
responsive chord when they referred
to vote to be cast for the retention,
or not Of the rural police.
I believe that all law-abiding citi-
zcns will be In favor of this police
protection for the rural districts when
they know that, as Mr.. Gray stated,
the fines coming to the county as a re-
suit OF their efforts more than pay the
salary OF these officers. The towns
can, In a measure, take care of them
selves, but the country does need this
protection and / trust that on election
day they will be retained by q large
majority.
Respectfully,
