Sound W arning to
Avoid Flooding
County Road S

The flooded road bogv is again
threatening to "get the goat of
the lettuce men in particular and
in general all of those who have
winter crops to be moved without
delay. A
The character of the soil is such
that few flooded roads can isolate
ranch as completely as if it were
located on a desert island. When
the winter crops are ready for
market they have to move right
then, without waiting for the con
sent Of any other nation. - Stupid
ity or carelessness in the handling
of water, either by irrigators or by
the water companies, may occasion
enormous loss and should be provid-
ed against in every way possible. a
few eases of road flooding have
been reported already and this has
so alarmed others who have crops
to be moved that request IS made
that this menace be broadcasted in
an effort to enlist a general coop
GRAFTON to the end that the winter
vegetable industry may be spared
unnecessary loss.

the stadium yesterday AFTERNOON
with victory perched on their ban-
ner, they certainly knew they had
been in football game, and it is
safe to say their hearts skipped
beat more than once in the last
quarter of play, at the prospect OF
losing a brilliantly won victory.
Completely outplayed in the first
three quarters by lighter and fast
er team, with an aerial game that
was near completion, the Bull
dogs braced themselves in the fin
al quarter and combined their won
derful line plunging machine with
the overhead game so successfully
played by West Virginia, and not
only scored two touchdowns and a
goal, but might have had another
touchdown at least, but for heart
rending "break' on forward pass,
which prevented them from sending
the ball over the line from the
Mountaineers five yard line,
when it slipped through the out
stretched hands of the waiting Con
zaga end, Gonzaga losing the ball
on downs to the Mountaineers.
The best proof of the fallacy
that n good football man must be
a big husky, was given in the bril-
liant work of Nardaeci, the Noun
taimeers quarterback, weighing
only 80 pounds, and the lightest
man on either team. Time an'

Scorpions Flay
Mexicali 16 to 7

In slow and one-sided game, the
FL Centre Scorpions showed the
Meyicali team some of the finer
POINTS of baseball on the palace
grounds at Mexicali Sunday after
noon, the final score being II to Z.
The Mexical outfit was unable to
do anything with the slants served
up by paddy Livingston and he
was taken out to let the famous
Tackett twins do the. twirling.
"Bill' took whack at pitching
for a few innings, and then resigned
in favor of Brother Jack who
finished the game. The Scorpions
hit Rudolfo almost at will and had
little difficulty with Roberts, who
succeeded him. Murphy did the
backstopping for FL Centre with
Tomaso doing similar honors for
Mexicali. The Mexicans were sim
ply outclassed though they tried
their best Governor .Lugo and many
officials attended the game and all
gave the Scorpions a big hand when
they appeared on the field.
Manager Ellis says he is going to
feed the Scorpions on raw meat for
the rest of the week in order to
put 'them in topnoteh shape for the
scrap with the Independents next
Sunday and with Holtville on New
Years Day. Both games will be
played here and the Scorpions are
out to boost their standing in the
league at the expense of the other
two teams.

MOTOR DOPE
From Here and There

iceland is reported as having for
hidden the importation of autono-
biles. Lack of roads is said 10 be
| the reason given.
Three years ago Alaska had only
200 automobiles according TO stats
tieians. Now there are more than
1000.
The automobile industry Is the
fourth largest customer of the rail
roads, shipping $4,000 carloads OF
freight during the past year,
There is now little question that
1929 will be another 100000 new
ear wear. This figure has been eN-
ceeded only by the output in 1920.
Don t be afraid to give your tires
enough air. &'ollow the directions
given on the sidewall of each easing

In so large cities of the United
States there are nearly $4,000 sub
urbanites mainly dependent on the
automobile for travel to town or

Vice Consul Cawson, Capteown.
High prices are reported as holding
back the automobile there.
Many French automobiles now are
equipped with four-wheel disc
brakes, according to a. Firestone for
eign representative who attended
the recent Paris exposition.
Automobile fire insurance com
panies, last year, paid out nearly
$9,500,000 for motor ears destroyed
by fire, most of them due to care
lessness on the part of the owners.
Keep track of your mileage for
checking up on gasoline consumption
and tire wear. Comparisons month
by month, or year by year, will keep
YOU posted on conditions.
If all the automobiles in the Unit
ed States were lined up in a process
sion, the string would reach four
fifths of the distance around the
world at the equator, or seven times
the distance from New York to San
Francisco.
1t is estimated by Firestone ex-
port men that there are about 500
automobiles and 100 other motor We

Approximately 100000 pupils and
$4,000 teachers submitted manu-
scripts in the Safety Essay Contest
conducted by the Highway Educa-
ton Board in 1921. The 1922 con-
test closes in December.
A simple way to clean off tire,
removing stones from the tread de-
sign as well, is to jack up the car,
place a pan filled with water or gas
oline beneath the wheel then turn it
slowly while scrubbing off.
Official 1921 figures show that
United States tire factories for that
year produced 27,275,000 castings,
while 33,S7S, 900 tubes were manu-
factured. 1922 figures are expected
to far exceed this, say Firestone Of

But, singularly enough, perhaps sub
