Summer Season
Has No Terror
for Visitors

In spite of the fact that some
people believe Imperial Valley is a
good place to keep away from at
this season of the year, visitors
continue to come here daily from all
parts of tho country, and few there
are who do not have plenty of com
mendation for the valley both from
climatic and production standpoints.
Wednesday, several visitors register
ed at the Chamber of Commerce, in
Guiding w. p. Lancaster of Lodi,
who was making his first trip to
the valley and was greatly impress
ed at the extent of the land under
cultivation here. l.. A. Blochman
of San Diego, interested i'll dates,
was also vivSitor.
Three Chicago men, Sam Abrams,
Jack Goldstein and Joe Liss, who
left that city June 4 on swing
around the country, registered at
the Chamber and upon the sugges-
tion of Secretary Coyle, stayed
overnight in this city before pro-
ceeding to Yuma. The party had
previously visited Portland, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and San
Diego, and commented upon the
climate here being preferable to
that of any of these cities. j. s..
Burton of Phoenix was also a vi
sitOr.

Uncle Wiggily promised that he
would not, but no sooner had he

LOCAL PATIENT
RECEIVERS FROM
BROKEN NECK

Affording an unusual and inter
esting case to local physicians, Will
liam Dressler, engine foreman of
the Southern yards at Calexico, is
a patient in the Ell Centre hospital,
suffering from broken neck, and
according to DR.. f. w. Peterson,
who is in charge of the case, Dress
Ter has an excellent chance for rec
overy.
Dressler was struck by train in
the Calexico yards, early in the
month";, and was thrown several
yards, landing on his head. He was
rushed TO the hospital where it was
feared at first he would die, as an
examination showed two vertebrae
has been broken and two more
fractured when his head struck the
ground. DIR. Peterson reduced the
fractures and ordered him to be
suspended, almost his entire weight
being supported by straps fastened
to his head.
Such serious injury to the meek
is usually attended with fatal re-
suits, but Dressler defies the fates
and is determined that he will rec
over. This is the first case of the
kind reported in Imperial Valley,
though similar incidents have occur
ed in other parts of the country.
Several years ago, Princeton I'M
iversity had football player named
Eddie Hart, whose neck was injured
in a football game and it was taken
for granted that the young man had
no chance for recovery. Surgeons
in charge of the case made fight
in his behalf, however, and he not
only recovered, but with the aid Of
q specially constructed harness
about his head and shoulders, play
ed football again, and played it well
enough to be elected captain of his
team.

CALEXICO, July 13.-Earl Mad

The building of the r. j. West

the existing rules and regulations
to relieve the growers and shippers
in Baja California as soon as the
situation was explained TO them. Mr..
Madden reports that the textile
mills i'll Old Mexico are greatly af-
fectcd by the series of strikes and

SELLING PLAN
Clean Cut Method Will
Revert to Interests of
Both Sides

Reports from the Certified Auto
mobile Market, which has just
opened under the "Appleby" plan
at 753 Main Street, indicate that it
will be decided success.
The plan is an attempt to give
stability and dignity to the used
car situation and afford a place
where seller and buyer can go with
confidence that they will get value
for value.
"We are much pleased with our
first week S business at the Certi-
fled Automobile Market said
Manager Bradshaw, "and, while /
have necessarily had to spend most
OF my time appraising cars and
sending those we accepted over to
the agency representing that make
for repairs, the selling end of the
market also shows bright promise.
Meets With Approval
Everybody seems to approve of
the Certified Automobile Market,
including banker, dealer and the
public, and it is with much satisfac-
tion that We have noted the various
commendatory comments on our at
tempt to give the buyer of "a used
car an organization whose methods
meet with the approval of all inter
ested.'
The Certified Automobile Market
accepts ears for sale only after a
thorough examination and on condi-
tion that the seller will agree toj
have them conditioned by the
agency representing that make in
Imperial county. After such agree
ment the market issues the seller
certificate which is recognized by
the banks and dealers and the ear
is then conditioned and put on sale
through the market. The method,
while new in Imperial county, has
been tried with success elsewhere
and is believed by many TO be the
answer to the used ear problem.

on his speaking tour has been his appeal for the
World Court.

Details So evident this attitude that the Pres

purpose with the skill of veteran campaigner, put

he had the chance"
The politicians the correspondent finds, are
critical They want specifications and reservations
of various kinds. But the average citizen, without
much regard to details and technicalities, simply
wants international tribunal to which all nations
may resort, and which will lay down the law for
them in any controversy that threatens to disturb
the peace of the world.
Here is a situation which the politicians them

count sooner or later. The public will has way of
