But after a time Harry, with his

She thought about it. she supposed
women always had asked that ques-

Perhaps it was because when a girl

A TRIUMPH or CONFERENCE

AT the meeting of the directors of the Irrigation
District yesterday the report of the committee on APP
prasa was presented and adopted and the committee
discharged.
A news paragraph disposed of this event like one
OF the commonplace OF the day, but it was really a
matter of the utmost Importance. It meant nothing
less than that two of fellow citizens, j. E. Peck and
C. N. Perry had been able to arrive at the valuation
OF nearly half million dollars worth of personal
property, including all claSsifications from hoes to
dredges to the complete satisfaction of thirteen mu-
ual water companies and the directors of the Irriga-
ton District This satisfaction applied merely to All
acceptance of each water company of the valuation as
signed to its own property but of far greater sgnifi
canoe, the acceptance by each company of the APP
prasenent of the property of everyone of the other
companies.
When Messrs Peck and Perry were appointed pro-
vision made for the selection of third or arbrat-
ing member of the committee in the event of dis
agreement. It is to the credit of the committee that
the work of appraisal proceeded with on basis of
such fairness and strict justice we'll practical
derStandlng that there was never any need of the
services of arbitrator The report of the committee
is masterpiece of its kind and will stand for many
years of Imperial Valleys greatest trumphs of
conference.

The Land of TOpsy Turvy
NOT SAFE IN YUCATAN UNLESS
YOU CARRY A RED WORK CARD
By FRED'K G. NEUMEIER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Bv mail
to United Press Traveller in Yu-
catan, the Land of Topsy Turvy, are
not really safe unless they carry a
red card.
Natives consider persons without
the red cards as enemies.
On the back of the card is the
doctrine which reads in part as
follows:
"The land is the mother and the
work is the father of humanity.
"Work for yourself-don t let
anyone exploit your labor.
eff you get a good price for your
work do good work.
'Do not attack without motive,
but never present your right cheek
when the left cheek is slapped. "
Many of the churches of Yucatan
are i'll ruins, church bells have been
destroyed and fixtures of churches
burned. When the Indians were
freed from bonds Of bitter slavery,
their first act was to destroy the
church bells.
Only sixteen priests arc now per
mitted to remain i'll Iucatan, this
number having been agreed upon,
as the state only has sixteen repre-
sentatives in its legislature. One
of the leaders said: If sixteen rep
resentativcs are enough to take care
of the citizens on earth, then six
teen priests are enough to take care

Filipc Carrillo, the governor of
Yucatan, and head of the Socialist
party, is the Moses of the country.
Natives touch his clothes and hands
whenever given opportunity. They
worship him and on one occasion
when it was rumorcd that he had
been assassinated III Merida, the
capital of the state, native Indians
ran to the city and threatened to
burn it.
Socialism is being enforced i'll

made by GARLIC, with American
tools, including machctc made III
