SPEAKER STRESSES
HELP OF OFFICIALS
Says Social Workers Must
Cooperate to Improve
Conditions.

Enforcement of law is dependable
upon an intelligent and interested
personnel of enforcing officials and
cooperation between the social
worker and such officials. Frank j.
Bruno, general secretary of the
Family Welfare Association of
Minneapolis. told group meeting of
the National Conference Of Social
Work today, at the First Congrega-
tional Church.
The subject discussed was The Co.
operation of Social Workers with
Public Officials in the Enforcement of
Laws Which Affect the Welfare of
the Family" Miss Tracy Copp of the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation also spoke. Miss Frances Per-
kins. member of the industrial board.
state department of New York, pre-
sided.
Gains Striking Results.
If such relationship between the
official and the social worker exists
for q considerable length of time,
continued Mr.. Bruno. striking results
in Interpretation. enforcement and
application of even ordinary laws
may be secured"
Formally or informally social case
workers organize to create laws, to
amend or to strengthen existing laws,
and to express their judgment on the
choice of the proper enforcing Of
fcials. This they do because of their
experience with existing legal equip
nIent and administration, and because
they see, better probably than any
one else, the legal failures in terms
Of human suffering injustice, and
tragedy
Many Laws Fail.
I'm the passage of laws and their
amendment, social workers have
made a striking contribution, al
though most laws introduced by
SOCIAL workers in any one legislation
fail of passage.
The most difficult of all tasks is
securing the right personnel in the
persons of judges and prosecuting Of
ficfals. The hurdle of election, or
appointment, requires combination
OF qualities not at all related to the
qualifications in which social workers
are interested. The tradition of the
legal profession, which. does not give
the sanction of its highest approval
to law enforcing positions, makes it
ordinarily impossible to secure the
best equipped men for such positions.
las direct political force social
workers are all but negligible. but
they do have the opportunity to give
specialist information to groups in
terested in the Improvement of social
conditions, such as women's clubs,
League of Women Voters, and even
political parties themselves when in
the alignment of social forces it be-
comes worth while for political par
ties to adopt a social program. Our
experience in Minnesota is that the
League of Women Voters is by all
odds the most effective of these chan
neis."

THE YEARS GREAT HARVEST

The Press is pleased to be able to present from
time to time gratifying results of the agricultural
achievements of this valley AS it conceves there is
no higher duty it its readers than to proclaim
the advantages offered by Imperial county as demon
strated by actual results.
So now when agriculture generally is at such
low ebb by way of contrast what is done here is
markable showing We draw attention to the figures
given out by Agricultural Commissioner Harrgan as
mdisputabe, proof of our productivity. The is
not yet ended but thus far of the crops harvested and
sent to the markets. according to Mr. Harrgan there
have been sold 13O26 carloads of cantaloupes,
than 1000 of lettuce, 2124 carloads of watermeons,
263 carloads of tomatoes Of lettuce and cantaoupes
there were more than before shipped in a single
and In both instances the acreage smaller
than last year The crops heavier and the quail
y better. And what to the point, the prices
were better Thus it will be that Imperial coun-
ty is in the midst of good year. Upwards of 10000
carloads of truck crops have been produced and ship
ped
But these amazing figures are by no means ALL
Citrus FRUITS grapes asparagus and other minor crops
have been sent forward by the tranload. And all
through the year hay grain, livestock, poultry and
dairy products go out in great abundance Besides all
these there is yet to be marketed great crop of
ton, the WELD of than $4,000 acres 1t is certain
to mean a grand total of 10000 carloads for the val
ley for the full year. Talk abou production here's
where you find it in the largest degree.
We do not wish to draw invidioGs comparisons
but conditions here infinitely better than in the
wheat-growing sections of the country. There they
have but string to their bow Here there many
and the wisdom of the diversified farming is obvious
In the wheat belt they calling for special session

lation if that possible They are also seeking
methods of marketing, thing much talked but
seemingly difficult of attainment. Meantime we do
not claim to unmitigated prosperity, but there is
enough of it to challenge public attention. At any
rate the residents of Imperial Valley have reason to
praise God and take hope.

A REMARKABLE PARALLEL

1t is a most remarkable coincidence that the
character and careers of Oho last two presidents
along Strlklngly parallel lines.
The two men, William Mckinley and Warren G.
Harding very much alike in their characteristics.
Both greatly beloved by all who came in
contact with them Mckinley of the finest fiber.
He gentle and lovable. His reputation
spotted and unstaned. He commanded respect by the
sheer force of upright character. In opening the
campaign against him in his first presidential race
Roger @. Mills who gave his name to the revenue
that supplaned the Mckinley tariff BILL said
in a speech at Cincinnati, Sin moral character William
Mckinley is pure the driven snow This
the testimonial of democratic leader who sought to
defeat the Ohian for the presidency. 1t was largely
account of the counrys confidence in the upright
ness of Mckinley that he won the election.
These very attributes are being universally
pointed out those also of Warren G. Harding. Men
drawn to him by his human qualities. They
was gentle and simple, yet noble The features of
both of classic mould. They were radiant
and luminous Both men came up the long, hard path
from poverty and obscurity to fame Both were born
Ohoans. Both became president of the United States.
Both died in that high office Both childless.
Both exemplfed the finest traits in their domestic
bliss. Mrs. Mckinley invalid and so could not
participate in his political activities But this fact
developed his tenderness that his devotion to her
was one of the sublimest features of his iustrious
career. Mrs. Harding was the constant companion
of her husband and able to share actively in
his triumphs. She became almost much an object
of the nations affections he. he, perhaps little
more than Mckinley possessed the aggressive spirit.
At no time did he manifest this than upon his
tour to the tomb by of Alaska In his speeches ne
stood four-square on great issues. He neither hes
itated nor equivocated From the day he began this
last journey he grew amazingly in popular esteem.
1t was triumphal tour. His mental grasp shone
forth through brilliant speech and tersest epgram 1t
was the song of great life in crescendo.
Among many others, Ohio has several especial
reason for her great pride in these two illusrious

sounds like good plan. III help
YOU with it.
SO the Fox and the Wolf watched
for their chance to catch Baby
Bunty and pull her TAIL
"Of course, it's very small
tail, +" said the Fox, "but then we
need give it only a veryslittle pull, -
"'True enough" said the Wolf. -
Now few days after that, as
Uncle Wiggily was hopping along on
top of hill, he heard some one
crying most sadly.
"Ha! That's trouble, and | must
help" said the rabbit gentleman.
Then, twinkling his pink nose and
blinking his eyes, he looked and
saw Baby Bunty with her little
coaster wagon at the top of the
hill.
"What is the matter, Baby Bun
tyl Why are you erying?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
- am crying because my little
sidewalk scooter, or coaster, is
broken" answered the little rabbit
girl, "and l want to ride down
hill on it.
, "Oh, don't cry said Uncle
Wiggily kindly. "I'u fix your
coaster for you. "Ah, 1 see, he
went on as he looked at it. Gone

Ell it,
Now while Uncle Wiggily was
mending Baby Bunty's scooter
coaster, and the little rabbit girl
was standing near by, watching,
out of the bushes came the Fox
and Wolf.
"Ah, this is our chancelr whis-
percd the Fox, Gwen take Baby
Bunty, carry her into the bushes
and pull her tail. Uncle Wiggilv
will hear her cry out, he IL rush in
to save her and we II nibble his
ears.
"Lct s try it, agreed the Wolf.
So the two bad chaps crept up
softly to catcl, Baby Bunty. But,
inst then, the rabbit gentleman had
fixed the loose wheel of the coaster
so that it was all right again.
"Come, Baby Bunty, try your
scooter now," called Uncle Wig
gily.
And then the Fox and Wolf jump
ed out of the bushes and cried:
Come, Baby Bunty! Come with
usl'
But the little rabbit girl turned
and, giving the savage chaps one
look. she shouted:
"Unele Wiggily! Quick! Get on
ny coaster and ride yourself down
he hill to get away from the Fox
I'd Wolf! Get on my coasterl'
But what about you9' asked
anele Wiggily.
Ill hop on behind! Ny coast
er is stronge enough to carry both

"Quick.' >
Uncle Wiggily hoped up on the
coaster. Baby Bunty hoped up
behind him and gave the scooter a

push. Down the hill went the rab-
bit gentleman and Baby Bunty.
"Come backi Come back!' ~
howlod the Fox and Wolf at the top
of the hill. But you may be sure
the two rabbits didn' do this. Safe
ly they coasted to the bottom of the
hill.
"Hum, snarled the wolf as he
and the hungry Fox went home. 81

And if the gold fish, doesn't try

HEART ANGLE Ml EDUCATION POPS UP AT BERKELEY
Discussion Pro And Con Ter inmates In Club For
 The Lonely

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Berkley, Oct. 22.-The age-old ques- tfon of whether girl goes to col lege mainly to get married, meeting a large number of eligible young men, and whether men go just for affairs d'amour, has bobbed up here with a vengeance.
 A girl student-leader wrote in a campus publication that a miss had a nerve to keep her resolution to marry a college student after look ing over the various varieties of "saps" present. She objected to the old clothes much in vogue; the sleep- ing loudly in classes and the gen. eral Tow brow" conversation.
 A male senior responded tartly by writing that college students were neglecting their duty of matrimony and offspring, especially the oft spring, saying that university people had a very low birthrate, quoting figures for Harvard university, whose men seem to learn how to keep away from Hymen's vows.
 The next outbreak was the calling of mass meeting of all lonely male and female students desiring com pany, but not having an opportunity to meet during a busy day of study or in halls of residence at night
 The lonely hearts" are. to meet regularly hereafter and possible re- suits are being watched with in- tereSt.
