Burglars Haul
TrucklOa d of
Loot From Home

Burglars operating in upto-date
fashion, and using truck to carry
off their loot, ransacked the home
of H. K. Givens at o35 Len Rey
avenue, early last night while the
family was away and took clothing,
furnishings and silverware valued
at more than 81 900.
Mr.. and Mrs. Givens discovered
the robbery when they returned
home at 1920. Entrance to the
house was gained by cutting the
screen in a rear door and 5pringing
the lock. The burglars worked sys-
tematically and dumped out the
contents of drawers, chests and
trunks, taking what they desired.
Apparently they were frightened
away before they had finished, as
they left behind them table cloth
spread on the floor, as # they in
tended loading it with small articles.
The police were notified, and
Sam Griffin, assistant chief of po-
lice, who investigated the break,
found the tire cracks of "A truck
leading up the alley in the rear of
the house, where it was halted
while the burglars completed their
work.
Included in the loot was a large
phonograph and parlor lamp, sill,
verware and a large quantity of
clothing.

WESTERN CUTS
TIRE PRICE ON
RISING MARK ET

In the face of a probable rise in
tire prices the Western Auto Sup
ply company has again announced
n decrease in the price of all tires
sold through its stores. Tires are
now lower in price than ever be
fore and many of the leading au-
thorities on rubber conditions have
predicted an advance in tire prices.
Another 60 days and tire prices
will boom," they urge, but never
theless the Western Auto Supply
company has announced a reduction
in prices.
In making the announcement re-
garding the new price schedule,
George Pepperdine, president of
the company said "The Prophets
may be right, tire prices may ad-
vance, but due to the foresight of
our purchasing department, we can
assure the motorist that we intend
to carry out our policy of giving
him more for his money by keep
ing the cost of tires at reason
able price. We are more than
pleased with the results obtained
from these tires by our motoringl
friends, letters pour into our office
every day lauding the quality of
this tire. Barring the fact that it
is comparatively new tire, the
Western Giant cord is becoming
well known to the Pacific motor
ist -
When preparations were made
by the company to market tires
under their own brand they took
into consideration all the conditions
to which d western tire would be
subjected. Sand, alkalai, ell and
rocky road all were coped with in
manufacturing their tire.
1t is good news to motorists to
hear of this new price drop at a
time when it is being rumored
about that tire prices are soon to
advance.

Ell Centre Joins
In Mourning For
Dead President

Display of flags at half-staff,
and portraits of Warren &. Hard
ing draped in mourning, were the
most common forms of tribute
adopted in FL Centre today, in
memory of the late president. These
were the outward signs. The invl-
sible ones were in the minds and
hearts of the people of this city,
irrespective of political nfiliation,
raced, creed Or color.
On all sides were heard express
sions of regret at the president S
untimelv demise, which came as a
distinct shock, following reports
that he was on the road to recov-
cry. FL Centre last week was pre-
pairing to extend :, hearty welcome
to the president on his visit to San
Diego, scheduled for next Monday,
and it was with a keen sense of
disappointment that plans for a
large delegation to go to the coast
TO greet the president, were can
eelled.
This morning word cane from
Washington ordering the local Unit
ed States Land Office to close to-
dav out of respect to President
Harding John w. Scott, in charge
of the office was instructed to dis
play the flag at half-staft until
the day of the burial. This Gus
tom will undoubtedly be carried out
in the display of flags on Other
buildings.
With the distribution of the
Press "extra' early this morning,
Imperial Valley received its first
detailed and complete account of
the president S death, and copies
of the "extra were eagerly pur
chased from the newsboys. The
work of getting out the extra was
accomplished in the face of many
handicaps due to the scattering of
the staff after working hours and
the totally unexpected news of the
president S death.

BY the death of President Hard

Coolidge to the presidents chair,
the United States, for the first time
in 20 years, has a chief executive

Condition Good,

Many interesting items are
noted in the report # John S. Loot
bourow, city clerk, presented to the
city board of trustees at Wednesday
night IS meeting, covering the fiscal
year to June 80.
Possibly the most interesting is
the increase in the city's balance,
which shows an increase of $8,7S2.7l
over last year, the balance this
year being $79,096.55 against $70.-
313.S4 in 1922.

proimately only e short of the

A fire appropria ion of $l0,l75
was made in the city budget for
this year, and the efficient man
ner in which Chief Ferguson and
the firemen operated the department
enabled them to keep wei within
the budget, the total expense OF
the department being $S,597.98.
The city rest room also hewed
close to the line, the total ex-
pense being $2,085.43 against an
appropriation of $2,O76, deficit of
less than $40, which should salts
fv even the most critical.
Other items show $8,285.35 paid
in police court fines and $l69.50
paid in library fines.

FARM OUTLOOK
CRITICAL, SAYS
EXPERT BABSON
Next Few Weeks Will De-
eide Fate of Crops and
General Business

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
Aug. 3.-Roger W. Babson issued
the following statement today re-
garding the crop situation. Mr..
Babson is not as bearish regarding
the immediate condition of the
farmer us are many of his contem-
poraries, but he does feel that the
farming situation will reach a crisis
this fall.
"Twentv years ago the great
news item affecting industries, com
merce, and business in general was
the monthly report of the crop sit
uation. For days before these crop
reports were issued, bankers, manu-
facturers, and merchants would
speculate on their probable figure.
For days after these crop reports
were issued, newspapers would have
editorials and comments thereon.
well remember when the telegraph
lines and the ticker service would
be held up pending the issue of the
monthly crop report in Washington.
Such an interest, however, no long
er exists. Crop reports are now IS
sued without much comment. There
is little or no suspense and specu-
lation. Whether we have become
hardened to the situation or wheth-
er more important things have
come into our lives, only the future
can tell.
Crops Still Big Factor
"Crops, however, are still very
important factor for they are the
basis of American prosperity. I'm
less the farmer is prosperous, the
nation cannot be prosperous. Near
ly third of our population is de-
pendent upon the crops for its in
come, especially on such crops as
wheat and corn. If these farmers
cannot make money, they cannot
buy goods.
"'The farmers supply the greatest
buying power of the country. When
the farmer loses money, the buying
power of the country is seriously
curtailed. This is one of the great
reasons for the bearish attitude
taken today by financiers. The
farming centers are depressed.
cit is possible, of course, that
conditions during the next few
months may entirely change the sit
uation for the better. The only
point | desire to make is that the
farmer has reached a very critical
period and the next few months
will determine whether a year of
effort will give him profit or a
loss. A bushel of grain must bring
in exchange-that is, in other goods
as much as it brought in prewar
times before this country can have
real prosperity.
Cheap Competition
cat the close of the war Amer
lea was raising the grain for itself
and large part of Europe. Since
the war Europe has seeded down
large areas and has corresponding
~ increased production of grain.
Other countries, such as Canada, the
Argentine, and Australia, owing to
cheaper labor costs, are competing
keenIy with American farmers and
are under selling American grain in
Liverpool, the wheat market of the
world. AS a result, the American
farmer is facing bumper crop and
at the same time carrying over
about one hundred millions bushels
from last years crop. AS it is
