Two years ago the Imperial Val

TO SUPPORT

Business Men Approve
Plan to Advertise
CantalOupes
SOLVES PROBL E NJ
Market Devel O p m e mt
Considered Important
Matter

Announcement that 100 per cent
of the cantalOupe growers and dis
tributOrs have signed up for the adj
vertising campaign proposed by n.
c. Palmer advertising manager for
the Western Fruit Jobbers Associa-
ton of Chicago, is proof of the good
judgement of these men in the opin-
ion of one of the leading cantaloupe
growers of the valley
Those interested in the develop
ment of the cantaloupe industry be-
lieve that Il big step has been tax
en- in the solution of the market
ing problem, and announcement of
the advertising campaign is consid-
cred one of the most important TO
the valley in many years.
Plan Commended
"When substantial business men
have written their checks cold cash
and 'chipped in for 4 $4,000 ad-
vertising campaign, before even tn,
cantalOupes form on the vines, il
is pretty good evidence that they
intend to inaugurate Il distribution
system and stand by Il marketing
plan which will redeem the valley
cantaloupe situation, and they
should have the hearty support OF
everyone, said O. j. Renfrew, see
retary of the Associated Chambers
of Commerce, and development ag
ent for Imperial County.
According to Mr.. Renfrew, too
much credit for bringing about this
splendid result cannot be given to
l.. G. Seibert and Fred Speich who
piloted Mr.. Palmer about the valley
during his visit here this week, and
that every grower and distributor
without exception subscribed to the
advertising fund is evidence of the
high regard in which these local
men are held by thier fellow com
petitors, as well as the faith of this
valley industry in the proposed
plan.
Thursday night, the executive
committee of the Associated Cham
bers of Commerce called together
at the office of the secretary to en-
able Messrs. Palmer, Seibert and
Speich to appear before them and
present the proposed campaign. The
executive committee endorsed the
program and pledged the support
and assistance of the Associated
Chambers to this important move
ment.
The outlook for & good yield OF
fruit is splendid and preparations
for handling the crop are going for
ward with the confidence of sue
cessful and profitable season. The
acreage is about 5000 short of last
season and with normal weather
should market in about the same
amount of carloads as last year.
Congratulations are heard on ev
cry hand for the flying start the
cantaloupe men have for the sea
son of 1923.

IMPERIAL WOMAN
'JNF0LDS STORY
UN HAPPY LIFE
Mrs. Talmage Charges
Spouse Treated Her
Cruelty

Because she alleges he made her
live in a small one room loft at the
rear of their soft drink store, with
out the convenience of a bathtub,
even in summer, refused to speak to
her, prevented her from living in
the same social sphere as before
her marriage, and greatly interfer-
ed with her peace of mind by re-
fusing to accompany her to church,
where she could not go al0ne us it
was too embarrassing, Crystnll Poor
Talmagc, of Imperial made appli-
cation for divorce from Clyde r..
Talmage, on the ground of extreme
mental cruelty.
The plaintiff states she was mar
ried to Talmagc at ImperiA, on
June 81, 1922 and separated March
20, 1923. He is employed as post
office rural route carrier at a sal
ary of 1925 month and she works
in the Imperial post office at Il
salary of 1925 month.
Shortly after their marriage, they
purchased a soft drink parlor IN I'M
perial, having II small loft in the
rear In this place her husband
made her live, Notwithstanding her
pleas that he provide a better home.
Gould Not Entertain
She was unable to invite friends
to her home, she alleges, because of
the embarrassment it caused her
and as she had greatly enjoyed So
cial activities in Imperial previous
to her marriage, their loss greatly
grieved her. Being an ardent church
worker, she was active in the relig-
ious life of the community and suf-
fered extremely when Talmage re-
fused to accompany her to church,
and seoffed at religion in general.
AS he refused to accompany her to
church affairs, she was compelled to
give them up, as when she went
alone, the queries of friends regard
ing her husband were too embarras-
sing for her to stand, she asserts.
After they bought the soft drink
stand, she claims Talmage would
spend all his time in the front end,
refusing to speak to her and fore
ing her to remain in the rear. He
refused to yield to her entreaties
and on March 20 ordered her to
leave his home which she did.

Mrs. Mcdonald of Noun

ing Data

Who, of the old timers in Imperi-
al Valley, are able to give informa-
tion regarding authentic historical
data on the old camp site of General
Fremont, at Mountain Springs,
which w;s the subject of an article
in this paper on April ., and which
it is desired to mark appropriately
and preserve as one of the historical
spots connected with the early his
tory of California?
Mrs. j. f. Mcdonald, of Noun
tain Springs, who called the atten-
tiOn of the Press to the recent acts
of vandalism at the old camp site,
when it was nearly destroyed by
prospectors, or treasure seekers, ad-
dressed u letter to Supervisor f. A.
Hornbeck, of San Diego County
asking where authentic historical
data relative to the old camp site
can be obtained. Mrs. Mcdonald
has requested the Press to assist her
in inducing any of the old settlers,
who may have knowledge of the
camp site of General Fremont, 70

mentions in particular, Mr.. Wells,
former founder of the old Holtville
hotel whom she believes could give
valuable information on the histor-

DAVIS
HANGMAN
Court Satisfied Under
18, Imposes Life
Prison Term
WOULD CHANGE LAW
Intimates Davis Should
Hangs Campbell
Cheerful

Charles Davis was sentenced to
prison for life this morning by
Judge Franklin J. Cole, in Depart
ment No. ! of the superior court,
for his part in the murder Of Leslie
Nichols, for which Lawrence Camp
bell was sentenced yesterday to
hang at San Quentin prison on
June 22.
In imposing life sentence on
Davis, the court stated the opinions
that the California law which pro
hibits the imposition of the death
penalty where the murderer is less
than IS years of age, is unsatisfact-
ory and that the decision as TO
whether or not a person is old
enough to pay the extreme penalty
should be left with the court or the
jury.
Previous to passing sentence Ross
T. HickeOx, appearing in court as
counsel for Davis, due to the fact
that the latter's attorney, Wilbur
Randall. is out of town, presented
! the court with a certified copy Of
Davis commitment to the Ala
bama Boys Industrial School at
East Lake, Alabama, which showed
his age on February %, 1922, to be
Is years and II months, making
him not quite II when the crime
was committed. This was the only
evidence the defendant could pro-
duce to prove that he was not 1S
years old, and in the opinion of the
court it was satisfactory.
Escaped from School
The document from Alabama.
showed that Davis had been ar
rested for grand larceny, following
the theft of an automobile and was
committed to the industrial school
until he should reach the age ef 81
years. He escaped from that fnsti
tuition in September of last year,
and says he '.beat his way VEST
Following court adjournment, Dis
trict Attorney Ernest. r. .utley sent
the following telegram to- Assem-.
blyman George Fl. Davis, relative
to the amendment to the political
code which makes it Impossible to
