'SHOTWELL HAS
NEAR ACCIDENT
AS SAMARITAN

It is rather belated Christmas
story, but it will do to tell now, if
for no other reason than to let au-
tomobile drivers in Imperial Valley
know that the traffic Officers are
not the heartless wretehes that some
folks might think them to be.
Christmas eve the officers were
on the job on the Calexico highway
and as is natural on the night be
fore Christmas, they stopped several
ears, .he drivers of which were
more or less under the influence of
John Barleyeorn.
Ordinarily the officers would
have made quick work of such driv-
ers by placing them under arrest.
1t was Christmas however, and the
officers realized that it was mighty
easy for fellow to take a little
more than was good for him, with
out any intention OF doing So.
Therefore, instead of placing the
drivers under arrest, the officers
made them drive to Il vacant lot
near Heber, and after fixing their
ears SO they could not be driven,
allowed them to remain there until
such time rs they sobered up, when
they were allowed to proceed on
their way.
Though several drivers protested
when they were forced to the side
of the road, the majority expressed
their appreciation TO the Officers
upon recovering from their befud-
died condition. In return for his
generosity. Officer Shotwe.l came
near being seriously wounded, it
leaked out today. He attempted
to flag down a ear but his signal
was not seen by the driver. The of
fjcer then fired two shots in the
air. which caused the other car to
stop. While putting his gun back
in the holster, the trigger caught OH
his coat, and the gun went off. The
bullet passed through Shotwell g
breeches, fortunately and just bare
" scratched his flesh. 1t was q
narrow escape and Shotwell said to-
day he was thanking his lucky stars
It was not worse.

We recommend to congress that

This resolution was one of the 81
passed by the 379 delegates at the
Fifth Annual meeting of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau Federation in

titude of the parent farm bureau
organization to be IN line with that
of the Imperial county bureau on

Manager G.. G.. jenkins in speak
ing today about the county mem
bership drive which is being carried
on at the present time, remarked
that in spite of the bad weather of
the past few days which has kept
the various teams from working, the

oged by the number of people who
had come personally to the Farm Bu-
reau headquarters ut 645 Nam

for president, and his subsequent
election, as exceedingly bright.
NFrA1on pnonta,


A McAdoo Booster
Mr.. McAdoo is by far the big
geSt man whose name has been con.
0ec;ed with either major party IS a
possible candidate for president,
said Mr.. Burgc. "An analysis OF
the accomplishments of all the pro
mincnt candidates, shows him to be
the only successful, efficient. COM
petent business man, fully capable
Of managing the affairs of the gov
crnment 20 the best interests of the
country ut large. He has been a
successful lawyer and engineer rs
well rs q statesman, and in truth
has made & success of everything
he has undertaken.
"Several years ago, when he I'M
icrtook the construction of the
East river tunnels in New York
CITY, he was told it could not be
done, but today people have forgot
ten there was ever any question as
to the practicability of boring tun-
nels under the river. As secretary
Of the treasury in the Wilson ad-
Ininistration, when he proposed the
Liberty loans i'll order to finance
the war, leading banking authorities
told him that his plan was impos-
sible, vet each loan was Il splendid
success. When :he government took
over the railroads during the war,
it WAS predicted that their opera
ton would not be successful under
government supervision, bUs the
roads continued to operate efficient
ly. McAdoo was severely criticized,
and doubtless made mistakes in the
conduct of the government 8 bust
ness, but no man could have done
any better than he did under the
circumstances and his efforts were
eventually successful, which after
all is the important thing. >
Staunch Faith in I. v.
When questioned as to his i'm
pressions of the valley, Mr.. Burge
stated that he noted with satisfac
tion. the comeback" being staged
here. and he is Il firm believer in
the future of Imperial Valley. of
l were not he stated, - would
dispose OF my holdings here. This
l have no intention of doing, and l
look for q splendid expansion in
Imperial Valley within the next de-
cade. =
Mr.. Burge will remain here over
night, and viii return tomorrow to
Los Angeles. At present he and
Mrs. Burge are stopping at the Bilt-
more hotel in that city, but plan
to build home there in the near
future. He intimated that he will
be a frequent visitor to the valley
and plans to keep in close touch
with conditions here. ~

does not mean, the ministry of ma
rine pointed out, that the Dfxmnde
herself may not have drifted one
thousand miles to the southwark.
But it is considered unlikely the
young commander would have de-
serted his ship except in her last
extremity.
The ministry pointed out that in
the event of the news from In
salah being correct and the airship
beng adrift over the heart of the
Sahara, her occupants, if any, face
experiences even more terrible than
those feared for them.
Savage tribes inhabit the Hoggar
region, 1000 miles from Algiers,
whittier the natives reported having
seen the dirigible drifting. Colonials
recall a terrible massacre at the
Flatters mission year ago.
The HOggar region is in what is
practically the center of the Sahara,
a district almost inaccessible from
the outside and relief workers would
require weeks, possibly months, to
penetrate it.
Nevertheless, before word was re-
ceived of the gruesome frnd by the
Sicilian fisher folk, relief expedi-
tions were ordered to make the start.
The finding of Captain de Gren
eda's body was reported by the
French naval attache at Rome. He
received his information from the
italian naval authorities at Palermo.
Rescue Boats to Scene
The French cruiser Holhouse and
three torpedo boats were started
there.
The ministry believes the Dix
nude actually has drifted into the
Sahara for officials cannot imagine
why the tribesmen should make up
the tale and travel 200 miles TO the
French military post, to tell it,
knowing they would be punished if
they were lying. Mirages, according
to the ministry, are not common in
the Hoggar district. However, the
natives report lacks confirmation.
