Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe. the
width of which will be So feet near

they pass through thickly populated
villages.

Alice Hits Upon
Unique Plan to
Please Soldiers

MUSKOGEE, Okla, July TO-
Alice Robertson, former congress
woman and now welfare worker in
the Soldiers Memorial Hospital
here, today sought an issue of light
underwear to quell threatened
mutiny.
The soldiers, all set for picnic
at Fort Gibson, refused to 20 on the
outing when they heard Miss Rob
ertson was to be guest.
"She voted against our bonus,"
said the spokesman of the rebels.
Miss Robertson made the trip,
but spent most of the time trying
to devise some means of overeom-
ing the animosity. She finally an
nounced:
"The regular issue of heavy
underwear which the boys have to
wear makes 'em that way. Uncle
Sam should have more gumption
than to expect the boys to wear
heavy 'undies. l am going to put
on light pajama campaign through
sewing circles here and there will
be no more kicking. This hot
weather makes any man wild"

Rude Awakening

MEXICALI, July 10.-The ro-
mantle elopement of~a Yuma girl
was stopped Sunday in Mexieali by
an official order from Governor
Hugo. Miss Lcgoona Hodges of
Yuma and Ramos Sainz of Andrade
decided to be married, regardless of
objections on the part of Miss
Hodges brothers. A raised window
in the early morning, waiting
automobile, a flight through Mex
leo, an accident and railroad hand
car tell the story.
Following swiftly upon the couple
were county and city officers from
Yuma, accompanied by two angry
brothers of the girl. Their car, too
was wrecked slightly, but they con
tinued to Mexicali
The Calexico police assisted in
the appeal by obtaining an inter
view with Governor Lugo. Upon
learning of the youth of the elopers
the governor ordered the issuance
of the marriage license stopped.
Miss Hodges was turned over tc
the Yuma officials to be escorted
home and her sweetheart was al
lowed to remain in Mexicali.

Remember New
Library Hours

That several people did not read
the announcement recently made in
the Press with regard to the new
hours at the city library was evil
dent this morning when the janitor
was forced to act as a reception
committee to those arriving at the
library before noon.
Under existing circumstances, and
especially in view of the exceeding
ly light patronage in the mornings,
it has been thought best not to open
the library until II O'Clock each
day, the new hours being from II to
p. m. and from 7 to 8 p. m. Pa
irons of the institution will save
themselves Inconvenience by bear
ing these hours in mind. Septem-

ACTION IS IMPERATIVE

About the single word, cooperation, sermons may
be preached, or the most calculating business trans
actions planned But it is in the latter that
using this oft-repeated word today, and in
tion with present problem which is confronting I'M
perial Valley today
Fifteen years ago the files of the Imperial Valley
Press carried statement given out by of the
prominent cantaloupe of that time the
for the poor market price which local melons
bringing in the east that season. The explana-
tion given then that the farmers at that time
for cooperating in the matter of plan
ming the cantaoupe acreage; that every grower was
for himself, and in his desire to "cean up Big
far larger than could profably be disposed
of planted.
AT that period, this shipper warnngly stated,
everyone acquainted with the fact that rs
of melons were all that the eastern market could
stand. Shades of the past! how who have been
watching the cantaloupe shipments for the past sea-
smile. Nevertheless, at that time it serious
matter when l25 cars were daily dumped onto mar
ket which called for so less than that number.
Since that day Is years ago, the demand for I'M
peral Valley canaloupes has doubled and redoubled
and still increases. And though this happy circum-
stance is helping us, yet the basic problem is yet
solved and need bark back to the past only as far
last to find wildly concrete example.
1t is not intended at this time to discuss the recent
car shortage and its effects We concerned with
present and future problems. AT this time, there is
just vital question which before the grow
and shippers of Imperial Valley for immediate at
tenton and forceful action that is the necessity of
winning the controversy with the railroads at the
hearing July 16 before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in Chicago on the subject of the shipment
of "dry" cars.
The Imperial County Farm Bureau is doing
through the efforts of Manager c. c. Jenkins, is MAX
ing strenuous effort to raise fund of $500 to send
a witness to Chicago The Los Angeles Produce Ex-
change is also raising fund for the purpose
If a sufficient amount is to be raised here locally
it must be done at once for the eleventh hour here
We quote from letter sent out by j. M. Hudson
secretary of the Los Angeles Produce Exchange, who
up cogently the Importance of this issue and its
future effects:
eff the carriers succeed in having the regulations
established which they have proposed, shippers from
and out of the Imperial Valley will be denied the
privilege Of shipping of lettuce without paying
for refrgeratng service regardless of the fact that
ice top of load will furnish adequate protection
during considerable portion of the shipping period,
and that is not ALL for if the carriers successful
in passing this eXacton onto the shippers there prob
ably will be many other coming up from time
to time
In other words, precedent will be established at
his hearing. Why not have it in favor of the growers
and shippers of Imperial Valley?

TRY TO SUSPEND
MACEE'S JUDGE
AT LAST MINUTE
Picturesque Horde at
Opening of Editors
Trial
BY STANLEY
by United Press Leased Wire

LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, July TO-
Shortly after midnight officials of
the San Miguel county court woke
up Judge Richard II. Hannah, chief
counsel for Carl c. Magee, Albu-
querque editor, who goes on trial
today for the alleged contempt of
court, and presented him a second
citation to show cause why he
should not be suspended from
practice. He was ordered to make
return by 1:30 o'clock in the af-
ternoon, submitting his brief and
preparing himself for trial imme-
diately.
If the court finds him guilty of
the charges in this citation, which
accuses him of being present at a
mass meeting and speaking in ia
vor of Magee and in criticism of
Judge Parker's court, Magee will
be forced TO 90 through his own
trial for contempt without counsel.
Associate counsel Fred Wilson
said this morning that it was hope
less to attempt to defend the con
dtttDun NlIHOul liC oti VIVID
of Judge Hannah.
Everybody Was There
Long before 10 o'clock when
Magee was to go on trial, the San
Miguel county court house was sur
rounded by spectators of all classes
of New Mexican citizenry. Cow
boys came gathering into town. In
dians rolled themselves in blankets
and slept on the lawn until the
doors were thrown open. Mexicans
in immense sombreros provided an
other touch of color.
. Sheriff Lorenzo Delgado, broth
er in law of United States Mar
shal Secondo Romero, whom Magec
has continually attacked as the
"political boss" of San Miguel
county, said before the trial began
that he would "keep order in the
court room, even if he had to use
his gun.
