Mute Evidence of
Calamity
by United Press

DUSSELDORF, Feb. 27.-A rust
ed network of railways, round
houses filled with rusted locOmot-
ives and ears, rusted wheels and 81
lent sidings are the most eloquent
evidence of the failure of the Ruhr
occupation. The red rust extension
marks the creeping paralysis over
coming the nervous system of a
great industrial organism.
Smoke stacks hedging the horizon
everywhere have ceased to smoke.
Already there are $4,000 idle unem-
ployed in the Ruhr valley and the
number is increasing daily. Raw
materials and stocks are fast dimin-
ishing.
1t is believed the French intend
to force the workmen to give in
through hunger, and agree not to
oppose the aims Of the occupation.
The viselike pressure, aimed primar:
lily at the industrialists, is squeez'
ing the workmen instead.
The Freach hope that capitula-
tion will come before the complete
paralysis. of the Industrial center is

FINE AND DEPORT
By Press staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Feb. 27.-The quick
est ease ever handled in a local court
was that in which r. Gonzales, a
Mexican, was arrested, brought to
ccurt, fined and deported back into
Mexico within term of five min
utes.
Gonzales was taken in charge at
the line by Inspector Miller when a
search of his person revealed that

slowed away in his clothes. He
was taken to the city Jail where
Pclice Judge Markey was holding
tie regular morning session. Search
ed, it was found that he had $500

this as the amount of his fine, after
which he was turned back to Miller,
who took him to the line, and from
here he was turned back into Mex
leo as an undesirable.
Five intoxication eases Yesterday
and three today we're assessed $500

CITY Is PLEASED
WITH NEWS OF
BIG BANK MERGER
Current Comment Ap-
proves Move as Being
Beneficial

Comment heard upon the street
today, also last evening, following
the announcement in the Press Of
the merger Of the First National
Bank of FL Centre with the Bank
of Italy, has been unanimously in
commendation of the move. Not
only the business men of the city,
but the small depositor with saw
ings account realized that it means
an important step forward for the
banking circles of FL Centre and
Imperial Valley. The reputation of
the Bank of Italy is we'll known
here, and for several years past,
rumOrs have stirred from time to
time, that the big corporation was
to open Il branch here, only to have
the rumOr prove untrue. The
knowledge of the sterling principles
upon which the Bank of Italy was
founded and is operated, have long
been appreciated by business men
and depositors in all parts of the
state and nowhere more so than in
Imperial Valley, which at divers
times has felt the need of suffi-
cient money to tide over bad times.
Congratulate Holt -.
Leroy Holt, president of the
First National Bank, stated today
that he has been the recipient of
many congratulations on account
of the merger and all with whom
he has talked have assured him
that it is for the best interests of
the valley. He said further that
he had consented to the merger
only after the most rigid investi
cation had satisfied himself rs tc
the high standards maintained by
the Bank of Italy with its stock
holders and depositors and that he
was greatly impressed with the
absolutely "clean' banking bust
ness in which the bank is engag.
ed, being subject to no large cor
poration or private control and
seeking only to do Legitimate
banking business.
The fact that the personnel of
the First National Bank will in no
way tbe disturbed by the merger,
is very gratifying to the people of
Ell Centre who would be loathe to
lose any of the present splendid
working force.
