PRESIDENT ". c. T. u.
DELIVERS BRILLIANT
CONVENTION ADDRESS

Yesterday afternoon 3 session of
the Seventeenth Annual Convent ion
of the Imperial Valley w. G. r. L.
held much of interest for the many
members of the Union who were
gathered together at the State
Street Christian church from the va
ric1s towns and communities of the
valley.
The meeting was opened by Mrs.
c. Angie Miller who introduced Mrs.
Amanda Mackie of Imperial VIII,
took charge of the praise service.
At p. m. Mrs. Sylvia NJ. Feldman
of Holtville, county president, gave
an unusually fine address, her sub
iect being, "Stop, Look, Listen, "
After paying tribute to the, wonder
full progress which has brought the
Imperial Valley from an inhabited
waste to a community of thriving
prosperity, Mrs. Feldman explained
how the w. G. 7. U. wishes to do its
part for the welfare of the people,
ard emphasized particularly the
need of mere patriotism during
times of peace. The very people,
who during the war were doing
their utmost for their country are
now trying to undermine it by max
ing light of its laws, and trying to
evade their enforcement, Mrs. Field
man believes.
In closing Mrs. Feldman summar-
lied her subject as follows: "We
are indeed pleased that our farmers,
our dairymen, the parents, and the
public i'll general, are warned of
dangers on every hand. But, as our
Lord asked: What shall it profit
man if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?' we might ask
What shall it profit this country
if our soil is rich, our herds the
best, our children straight and
strong, the approaches to all rail
road crossings well protected, and
our armies and navies recognized as
the best i'll the world, if our. consti-
tuition can be picked to pieces at
will!'
Let US from this day resolve
that We will hold the warning high,
and cry aloud to the indifferent
one on every hand: Stop! Look,
Listen!!! Our country, yea, the
world, is in dangerl -

Y. w. C. A. is BOON
TO THE COMMUNITY
WORTHY OF SUPPORT
BY vIoLETTE s. CAMPBELL

"Take care of the girls Of the
county and our work with the boys
will be a simple matter So said
the leaders of the Young Men s
Christian Association in Imperial
county three years ago. 1t came as a
challenge to the good women; and
they accepted it as such, realizing
that ideals and standards of con
duct rest largely, now as ever, with
the women of any community.
Out of this challenge. came the
organization of the Young Women s
Christian Association which has
come 20 be so great a factor in the
girl life of Imperial Valley that it
has awakened an interest far and
near among all who desire the best
for the community and for the boys
and girls who some day are to be
the men and women to make up its
responsible citizenship.
The organization has been thor
oughly tried out and has not in one
instance been foInd wanting. 1t
takes care of the girls in their social
life, in the school, in the home, dur
ing their leisure hours, and in their
every relationship.
Always Responsive
Be it said to the everlasting honor
of imperial county, that its people
have never been niggardly when a
call to real service came, or when Il
ecause worthy in its way has ap-
pealed for money. So far they have
responded generously to the call for
funds to support the girls work,
Just as they have provided for the
Y. NJ. C. A. and the Boy Sccat or
ganizations. Last year Ell Centre
raised her quota in one day and
went over the top when the Y. w.
C. A. committees set TO work. Mex:
week it will do the same.
On Tuesday, April "a, the town
will be covered in a whirlwind cam
paign for funds fer the support of
the work another year, and it is un-
thinkable that nightfall viii find
the quota short by as much as one
dollar.
The money TO be raised is not to
support the summer camp, that is
self-supporting because it is so en-
joyable that everybody loves TO go
to it, and pay for the delightful en-
tertainment it affords. 1t is to pay
the secretary and keep up running
expenses that money is now to be
raised. just bear that in mind and
be as generous with the girls as you
have been ever with the boys. a.
A Boon TO Girls
Let the Girl Reserves tell you Of
the joy they have found in the or
ganization; of the good times and
fine associa tions, of the mother
daughter banquets, the hikes, the
picnies, the programs at the school
and in camp-by all means let them
tell you about it, and of how CRATE
full they are TO parents, teachers and
friends that so much has been done
for them the past three years and
your purse strings will loosen admir-
ably.
The committees for the drive will
be announced in a few days. Sean
the list and be ready TO contribute
as much as you can for the contin-
uance cf the girls "Y' in Imperial

Little, %, planter, and his bride of
three months were burned to death
last night when their home near

Neighbors who discovered the

an effort to arouse the sleeping pair.
Efforts of neighbors to awaken
the couple, however, proved ineffec-

bodies.

Florida Legislature
To Debate Temporary
Apportionment Plan

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, May s.
! Reapportionment by the present
legislature as a temporary remedy
until the proposed constitutional
amendment, if passed, is effected
brought forth some fire Wednesday
in the house on the mere request
that 200 copies of a committee bill be
printed and made special order
Of business for next Wednesday
morning. The motion was adopted,
however, and the way paved for the
fireworks next week.
The plan as submitted by the COM
mittee headed by Representative
Willard, would effect the reappor-
tionment under house member
ship of of sixty-eight, the seven most
populous counties to get two each
and the others one each. The SEN
ate membership would be fixed at
thirty-two and would disturb con-
siderably the present senatorial
lineup.
Representative Weeks said there
was no use in going to the expense
of having the bill printed as the
question could easily be settled
now" The proposed senate appor-
tionment, he said, was out of all
proportions to population. He said
that in view of the impending con-
stitutional amendment, there was no
need of reapportionment at this
session. Mr.. Willard replied that
the constitutional amendment even
if ratified at the polls would not be-
come effective until 1927.
The proposed constitutional
amendment was scheduled to come
up in the senate today under spe-
ciai order of business, but the SEN
ate was behind on it's special bust
ness, and consideration therefore
went over. There is general opin-
ion in both houses that this plan
will be accepted, in so far as the
legislature is concerned

CONGREGATION HALL
STORMED BY MOB;
FIERCE FIGHT RACES

BOUNDBROOK, N. J., May q
Leaders of the mob which last night
caused one hundred "holy rollers"
to barricade themselves in the Pill
lar of Fire church after a melee in
which many women and men were
injured are being sought by the
police.
More than 600 men rushed the
stairwayS leading to the second
floor where the beleaguered one hun
bred had barricaded themselves. The
first floor was a wreck as a result
of a battle which began early in
the evening when an undermined
speaker eXtolled the Ku Klux Khan.
Elias Horn and Lawrence Winter,
members of the Pillar of Fire
church, were arrested on charges OF
assault and later were rescued from
the mob which clamored about the
Jail with shouts of lynch them"
The meeting had been advertised
Tor a week as a movement for the
organization of a chaper of the
Khan.
Admittance was to be by invita-
Zion, but several hundred unlimited
forced their way into the church
just as a stranger, who refused to
divulge his name, but said he was
a klansman, began an address. The
unbidden guests heckled him. He
cried to his supporters to throw
the disturbers out" and the fight
was on.
Chairs and pieces of wood flew.
Some battlers swung blackjacks.
Women members of the audience
stood beside the men and battled
against the invaders.
The Pillar of Fire members
fnally withdrew to the second floor
and locked themselves in, while
members of the attacking party at
tempted to batter down the doors.
They were dispersed by police with
the aid of state troopers.
Before leaving for the night the
: crowd smashed windshields and
= slashed the tires of a score of motor
|. cars left standing before the temple
: by members of the church who had
driven to the meeting.
