JENKINS PUTS
MUCH Pep INTO
MANAGER JOB
His Managership Marked
By Much Activity,
Results

No resume of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau and its activities
would be complete without special
commendation of the part played in
its recent successes by c. c. Jen-
kins, manager.
Jenkins was named to this office
the beginning of last March at q
time in the bureau S career when
the need for, efficient management
was most evident. Since that time
Jenkins has proven in most con
vincing manner his peculiar fitness
for the job.
Immediately after assuming his
position Manager Jenkins came out
with the blunt announcement that
the Farm Bureau only had 335 men,
bers and that this membership must
be increased. A membership drive
was Immediately launched under his
supervision and in a few weeks,
when finished, the books showed the
fact that the membership had quad
rupled to the number of 200.
Not satisfied with this very splen-
did increase, Jenkins is now behind
the membership drive being launch
ed today. Nothing short of 5000
members is tho goal now set by the
Farm Bureau, and their aim is jus-
titled when it is considered that
there are $500 water users in I'M
perial Valley today.
There is every reason to believe
that when the present drive ends on
December 81, 800 new members
will have been signed up, and if so,
much of the credit must go to the
indefatigable zeal of jenkins.
Familiar With Valley
He is particularly familiar with
the problems of the valley farmer.
having lived here since 1908 when
he established one of the first men 5
furnishing stores in Brawley. Dur
ing the next eight years he built up
a successful business and was prom
lnent in. civic and school affairs, oc-
cupying the position of president of
the high school board in Brawlev
for a number of years.
Later he sold out his business and
moved to Los Angeles to educate
his daughters in the University of
Southern California, returning to the
valley i'll 1928 and settling in the
Acacia district, where he operated
dairy ranch for some time.
In 1922 Jenkins was named secre-
tary of the Imperial Chamber of
! Commerce, in which capacity he
made many riends throughout the
valley.
The recent unified support of bus
mess men and farmers alike in rails,
ing unds to fight the refrigeration
rates is but one example of Jcn-
kin s aggressive spirit. When he
( sprung the idea of having all bust
ness houses close for an hour during
busy weekday to permit employees
to attend mass meeting, many
scoffed and said it couldn t be done.
Jenkins insisted that because il had
not been done was no reason it
couldn't be accomplished and set
| about to show them. And he did
with such splendid results that the
! enthusiasm and results of that meet
! ing are referred to as positive proof
of the fact that new spirit of har-
mony and cooperation between bust.
ness and agriculture is abroad in the
fertile valley of the desert.

She's Sure OF Reelection

Huck Rep) Of Illinois today re-
stunned her fight for enactment in
the House Of an international war
referendum bill, designed az q pre-
tentative Of future wars. The
measure, IL enacted and ratified by
foreign governments. would outlaw
war unless II was voted by the
people of each nation involved,
Her ire aroused by statements Of
male members Of the House that
the proposal was impractical, Mrs.
Huck made a flying trip to the
Capital to offer q second resolution
forbtdding the extension OF credits
by the United States to any nation
which refuses To except the war
referendum. This proposal, she de-
clared, would make the referendum
mot only practical, but thoroughly
effective in preventing future wars"
Mrs. Huck, who now holds the
seat Of her father. the late Con-
fgressman-at-large william b. Mason,
| is candidate for reelection 10 the
seat formerly held by the late
Congressman, Of the Second Illinois
district. Mrs. Huck was optimistic
Of winning too, declaring "she
simply had to come back" to carry
out her plans for world peace.
Her platform, she added, based on
preventing war, with planks ad-
vocating development Of rivers and
harbors and legislation helping
Foe
IT'S fun to campaign" she said.
II think women are just as versa
tile as men, and 1t is not q Ques.
ton OF sex in politics, but one of
adaptability. I think women have a
right in public office and think
this woman IL adapted. There are
hundreds of measures in the House
which interest q woman. There
are hearings just now On the
narcotic drug evil and this is a
subject affecting every home In the
nation and one in which every
woman should be interested. There
are others, too, affecting home life
and child welfare in which at least
one woman should have q voice
when they are framed"
Mrs. Huck was emphatic In de-
claring she would be reelected.
81 told my constituents that
those fellows running against me
wouldn't even know where to hang
their hats II they were sent down
here" she added. ''I told them
I not only knew where to hang my
hat but where to powder my nose
as well. and not any Of them know
that. I've been around the Capitol
since was six years old and 1
know what can be gotten through
Congress- and what those fellows In
control will never let pass. That's
why I think I'm coming back"

has just returned from the confer

arrive at some definite basis for. uni

1t was pointed out at the confer
ence that the laws governing head

For instance" said Mr.. Baughman,
I'VE might permit an anti-giare de
kyice to be installed in Maryland. but
the same device would not be allow

Therefore, a motorist going rsnorth

MOTOR CYCLES POPULAR
IN CANADIAN CITIES
Big Gains, Shown in Registration
at Quebec snd Other
- ats.t-
Towns. .

French Canadians are sure beconl-
ing strong on motor cycles. Greater
gains were shown in motor cycle reg
istrationS in the province of Quebec
during the past year than were indi-
Gated by any other province of Can
ada. Quebec hasn't as many motor
cycles as ontario, where there are ap-
proxinateIy 5000 machines running &
around, but the annual increase in
registra tions are steady and substan-
tial.
Statistics just released show that
Quebec has .Ss2 motor cycles in use.
as compared with 1,109 one year ago.
but considering machines replaced and
transferred. it is believed that about
400 new motor cycles We're sold. at
least. in Montreal. Three Rivers. Que
bee. Hull. Sherbrooke- and other CEN
ters
The fact is pointed out that larger
net gain was made in the province
of Quebec than in any other pro-
vincial jurisdiction ins the Dominion
during. 1922. II is also interesting to
note the progress that has been made
in nine'years. In 1914 there We're only
EOS motor cycles in use in Quebec.
This grew to 2S6 in 1915. AGO in 1916.
644 in 1917 and $40. in-191S. In 1919
a. big jump occurred when the total
registration reached 1904. In 1920 Il
was 1,5cS. while, in 1921 it reached
1909.
The increasing popularity of motor
cycles among French Canadians at
the present time has been attributed
by one big Canadian dealer to the
fact that the habitant has a natural
desire for speed--and that the low
saddles on the machines have made
distinct hit with the Canadian
Francafs because many OF them are
short in stature.

Settling 1t Out of COurt.

Any motorisr who has occasion TO
leave his car standing before office
buildings while important conferences
are in session can't help but get tagged
now and again for parking indiscretions.
When this happens he usually pockets
his annoyance with the tag and ''ap-
pears in court as per directions. But
this is frequently unnecessary. It all de-
pends upon the officer on the beat and
the motorists ability to. be diplomatic.
AS a matter of fact the average officer
would prefer to meet the motorist at
the time of the indiscretion and have il
out with him. An officer doesn't enjoy
appearing any more than the motor
ist. particularly when there is any pos
sibility that the motoriSt may come
across with a convincing line of argu-
ments. The officer would prefer read
ing the law to the motorist in person;
it SO plainly reveals his authority. And.
having made the matter plain. he is
