Is There a Lonesome Home
In This Town Where New
Baby Would Find a Welcome?

A. W Swanson, probation officer
for Imperial County is desirous of
getting in touch with some respect
able family, who desires to adopt Il
baby. The story told by Swanson
today to II Press representative, is a
particularly pitiful one and centers
around Young mother who has
been deserted by her husband. The
ease first came to Swanson's atten-
tion several months ago, when the
young woman appealed to him for
assistance, after she had been de-
serted by her husband. She already
has two children, and told the pro-
baton officer t:,at she knows it will
be impossible for her to provide for
a third child, IS yet unborn, in a
manner that will enable the child
rem and herself to have the neees.

The woman's mother was born in
Chile, aud her father was Ger

Fair Complainant
Is Netted'In
Own Trap

AS result of a several hours
duty on the Imperial avenue
highway last night, II or more
tickets were issued by Traffic
Officers Shotwell and Klippel
to various violators of the auto
mobile laws, who were sum-
moned to appear in court in
their home towns to answer for
the violations.
BY the irony of fate, a young
woman, at whose solicitation
the district attorney ordered
the traffic officers to work on
Imperial avenue last night, was
herself caught in the meshes of
the law. Several days ago she
visited the district attorneys
office, and complained of the
numerous violations being COM
mitted ON Imperial avenue and
informed the district attorney
that it was his duty to put n
stop to the violations.
Last night, the district at
torney was on the highway,
watching the work Of the Of
ficers, when a ear went by with
no tail light. The Officers
started out after it and the
driver increased the speed of
the ear until it was going so
miles an hour. A blast from
the siren on the district at
torney's ear, caused the other
driver to stop, and greatly to
his surprise, the young woman
who had visited his office was
found to be the sole occupant.
The district attorney is now
debating as to just what charge
he shall bring against her, and
in discussing the case today said
there were at least six laws
broken in the wild chase after
her car.

Marks 'Rehashed'

Paper

BERLIN, Nov. IGNORE
than 100 private printing shops
were working three shifts day
to help the Reichsbank print
paper money for Germany before
the establishment of the new
"Rentenmark.
Thirty paper factories turned
over their entire output to the
government printing shops.
The main Reichsbank in Ber-
lin has been sending 1000 ship
ments of notes daily to outlying
branches in order to keep pace
with the drop Of the mark in
relation to the dollar.
Automobiles, airplanes and
trains were employed to carry
them. Much of the money re-
turned to the Reichsbanak was
sent to be chopped up and made
into wrapping paper and card

several months ago, and has not

woman is well educated and entire

stances alone being responsible for
her present pitiable condition. She
has assured Swanson that in the
event a home is found for her pros.

CRISIS ON IN ANGLO - FRENCH AFFAI
VIOLENT STORM
VISITS VALLEY;
OVER BY NOON
High School Dismisses,
Power Is Off for
Time

This morning FL Centre and other
portions of the valley received their
share of the deluge which was brew
ing on the horizon last night, and
water pouring from the rainspouts
and rushing down the cutters gave
evidence of considerable rainfall
in a short time. Much thunder and
lightning together with lowering
sky gave promise of an all-day de-
luge.
As a result of the threatening ap-
pearance of the weather. classes
at the high school were dismissed,
SO that the busses would be able to
return the country students to their
homes without danger of getting
stuck in the mud, as they did after
one of the recent rains.
However, springlike sunshine
made it's appearance about noon,
and only the mud and Il few re-
ported cases of leaky roofs remain
ed as reminders of the storm.
AS a result of the freak electrical
storms in the southwest and north
west last night, the fireworks
which were noted by many local mo-
torists eliminated in the two storms
working together and producing a
terrific rain between Calipatria and
Coachella.
As a result of the great amount
of electricity in the air. number
of .insulators on the high voltage
line supplying the valley with elec-
trical energy were cracked, which
resulted in interruption to the local
service. However, the local plant
was put on and this morning was
carrying the load quite SATISFACTORY
" with the exception of few min
or interruptions. 1t was believed
that repairs of the ss X. V. line
would be completed some time this
afternoon.

Farm Bureau Will Begin
Membership Drive Soon

Now that the Imperial County
Farm Bureau has done everything
in its power to further the inter
ests of the farmers and business
men of the valley by working on the
top icing rate adjustment, it is go
ing to tackle the membership cam
paign, which was approved at the
last directors meeting, with re
doubled energy said Manager G.
c. Jenkins of that organization to-
day.
A uniform system has been
adopted by all the farm centers, ac-
cording to Jenkins, and Monday will
see the opening of the big member
ship drive which it is believed will
double the number now belonging to
this cooperative association which
stands four-square for the best in
terests of the Imperial Valley.
BY dividing into opposing teams,
each center will strive to gain new
members, and while they work, each
competing group will have in mind
the dinner promised by the losers
at the end of the campaign, which
will be December 81.
Teams from the country will in
wade the towns, and business men
are requested to be ready to place
their names on the dotted line. I'M
perial Valley is an agricultural com
munity, and upon the successful op-
Grafton of our farms depends the
prosperity of our cities. Residents
of the various municipalities may
belong to any center they desire,
but those adjoining their respective
towns are suggested as the most
logical to join. McCabe, Meloland
and Acacia centers will probably be

10 Pct. Goes to Centers

As 10 per cent of all 50 member
ship fees remains in the treasury of
the centers for each new member
enrolled, the present members have
an added incentive for strenuous
campaigning.
That the spirit Of cooperative har-
mony towards which the Farm Bu-
reau, has been working so tireless-
lv isf really. becoming noticeable in
the community was shown this
morning by remark made by Har-
ry A. James of the Starr Piano
company who has been studying
conditions here carefully for the
past few weeks. ''To me it seems
rs if the success of your valley lies
in the spirit of cooperation that evi-
IDENTIFY exists between your business
men and the ranchers,' -. James said.
James left for Los Angeles this
morning, and shortly before his de-
parture stated that a visit to I'M
perial Valley was sure cure tor

u. S. EXPERT ON
PECANS HERE TO
PROBE INDUSTRY
Declares Valley Should
Prove Profitable for
PecanS

Arriving this morning DR.. c. f.
Reed, of Washington, d. c., pecan
specialist Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has been
spending the day inquiring into the
pecan situation i'll Imperial Vallav
with an. eye to the possibility of fu
ture development of the crop i'll this
section.
This morning DIR. Reed, j. G..
Hamilton, farm advisor of Yuma
county, and Lester Beatty, foreman
of the University of Arizona Exper-
mental Station at Yuma, who ar
rived in the city today en- route
from Yuma to Los Angeles held con-
ferences with Farm Advisor Garth
waite and Horticultural Commits
sioner Harrigan of Imperial Coun-
ty.
1t was the intention of the visit,
ors to make a survey of the pecan
industry while in the valley, but the
storm somewhat interfered with
their plans. Farm Advisor Hamil-
ton brought with him Il jar of pc
cans, and several photographs of
pecan trees which are growing III
the Yuma valley.
According to results noted there,
the "'Success'' variety has been
found to be best suited for the soil
and climate of the neighboring val
ley, this type being favored over
the Nelson variety, which was form
erly planted in that section. The
"Success produces a large nut
with full meat, and has thin shell,
making it especially desirable for
the market.
Speaks Twice Today
It was stated by Commissioner
Harrigan today that the pecan in
dustrv in Imperial Valley received
a bad start, as the growers planted
ten year old trees instead of three
wear olds, which have been found
to be the best. However, climatic
and soil conditions are similar to
those in other sections where pecans
are highly successful commercial
crop, so the development of this in
dustry may come in the course of
time in Imperial Valley.
A meeting at which DR.. Reed was
to speak was scheduled to be held
in Brawlev this afternoon. He will
also talk at the Wilson school to-
night at clock for the benefit of
all who are interested in the pecan
industry.
DR.. Reed s visit here is a part of
the extended trip which he is MAX
ing through the southern and Paci-
fic coast states in survey of pecan
growing in these sections of the
United States.
