Chamber Seeks
Improvementof
HOltville Road

Discussion of road improvements
occupied the greater part of the
meeting of the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce last night,
with particular attention to the con
dition of the Holtville Ell Centre
road This section of road is recog-
nized as one of the most difficult
pieces in Southern California to
keep in good condition, due to its
soft soil formation, which causes it
to become full of chuck holes after
each cantaloupe and lettuce season.
From Meloland to Holtville the
road is in fairly good condition, but
from the Holton Interurban cross
ing to Meloland, the road is best
described as atrocious.
The directors had invited w. H..
Brooks, supervisor of this district
to talk over the Holtville road
with them, but he was unable to be
present. He sent word however that
he will attend the next meeting of
the directors and discuss road mat
ters with them. The directors ex-
pressed the opinion that Brooks has
done considerable with the road in
the vicinity of the cemetery, which
was formerly one of the worst
stretches, and believe that the pres
ent bad section can be similarly i'm
proved.

JUDGMENT FOR
PLAIN TIFF In
SEEPACE CASES

Judge Cole has decided in favor
of the plaintiff in the suit of Maude
Hall against Imperial water com
panies No. 3, No. and No. 7, and
awarded damages of 5000, 5000 and
5000 against the respective. COM
panies.
The suit was originally brought
in 1917 and asked for an injuhc-
ton and damages because of seep-
age from the companies canals en-
teriug Mrs. Halls property. They
were the first cases of seepage
brought in the valley, and Judge
Cole tried all three suits in 1918,
Attorney Charles Il. Childers ap-
pearing for the plaintiff. The
court ordered Judgment entered for
the defendants, but it was never
entered in any of the eases, and
they stood in this condition until
1922 when f. r. Simon, who had
succeeded Attorney Childers as
counsel for Mrs. Hall, filed mo-
tions to set aside the original or
der for the defendants and to re-
open the case for further testimony.
He finally determined the matter
by ordering Judgment in favor of
the plaintiff.

guessing as much as the world S
middleweight championship bout

As a rule, in doping and IN bet
ting on the outcome OF fight, the
champion possesses the known guam
tities and what exporting Is to be
done revolves around the prospects
of the challenger.
In this unusual case il is just the
opposite. Everyone knows the
capabilities of Greb, and no one is
sure of what Wilson will turn out
to be when he is subjected to the
real test that he is bound 10 face.

championship and he has sneaked

In winning the championship and
in the few times that he stepped out
of the set-up class to defend the
title, Wilson showed himself to be
so bad that he was dubbed "the
cheese champion. -
He follows the southpaw style OF
fighting with his right hand and
his right foot extended, and 1T Is
a rather annoying style to beat. He
is of rugged build and has enough
power in his back shoulder and arms
to be q good hitter, if he knows
how to get the most of his possibi'
lities.
Some supporters of Wilson have
maintained that he is good fight

he would prove it the first time he
faced a real, capable opponent. He
will have that opportunity in hlS

TAKE THEIR PLEASURE NOW
Young Chicago Couple Evidently Be-
lieves in Verse, "Gather Ye. Roses
while Ye May"

The Woman knows a couple whO've
just gone abroad. The husband Is a
young writer who earns a very mod
crate income and the wife is an artist
who receives small returns.
"We're just going to enjoy ourselves
for six weeks or two months" they
told the Woman. You see we had
little saved up and we were going to
struggle to save more by great ecOnO-
my and self-denial. And then we
talked to one of our neighbOrs. He
used to be as poor as we are-Once.
And by stlnting and scraping aad wise
investment he Is well-to-dO man now.
eve asked him why he didn't travel
and he said he had always meant to
and, yet, while he was young, he felt
he should be saving for the future.
And now that he has saved-it was
saved with such self-denial that he
just can't GO out and spend it. He took
little trip this summer, but came
back in a week-he couldn't bear to
see the money which had been accu-
mulated by small amounts go out in
big ones.
$50 we made up our minds that we'd
travel when we could enjoy it, and not
wait for the days when our enthusiasm
and our nerve at money-spending
would be gone."-Chicago Journal.
