NEW YORK, April 1.-Today's stock
market was a dull affair with only one
or two features worth mentioning. Cen
eral Electric was in demand and show
ed considerable strength up to 2;20
p. m. Coppers firmed UP somewhat,
and as Cerro De Pasco earnings war
rant the continuation of the regular
dividend rate, the demand was great
enough to put it UP to 42h. Their
meeting takes place April g. Among
the rails st. Paul preferred stood out
prominently, advancing to 29h. Inn
proved earnings and the practical as
be taken care of has created quite a
buying power in all of the st. Paul
issues. Studebaker was under pressure
at times, but failed to go down much
The plan to split the stock UP 21s for 1
has been ratified. SpeciaIties such as
Otis Elevator and Associated Dry
Goods act very well and appear to be
under accumulation. Closing was firm
and a further rally is generally ex-
pected. Total sales, 534 300 shares
Fenner & Beane to Kahn G Virgin.
NEW YORK, April 1,-Prices are
somewhat better today again as they
were yesterday, though trading remains
very dull. Apparently the short inter-
est has gone as far as it feels prudent
Tor the present, and Is beginning to
flnd too much company on that side of
the market. Business is spotty, but It
is no more on account of the uncer-
tainty created in Washington than
from any intrinsic difficulty. With such
situation the market ought to show
an Improvement. Sales, 712,30O.-Post

SUGAR MARKET

NEW YORK, April Increased Of
eerings brought about a slightly easier
undertone in raw sugar today. Prices
were unchanged for nearby Cubans,
but a shade lower for later shipment.
Both are now quoted at 6.65c, duty
paid. Sales included $4,000 bags of
Cubans and 10000 bags of Porto Ricans
for prompt shipment to local refiners.
The lower ruling abroad and more
liberal offerings in the spot market
led to renewed selling pressure in raw
sugar futures. Prices declined II to IL
points, but renewed talk of a possible
railroad strike in Cuba checked the
decline and prices rallied to points
ON covering. The close was TO 10
points net lower. May closed 4.9Sc;
July, 5.09c; September, 5.O3c, and De-
cember, 4.53c, all bid.
There was decline of 10 points in
prices for refined, with fine granu-
lated now quoted at s.G06s. 4Oc. Bust
ness was light.

GEORGE III. AUSTIN FOR SUPERVISOR

Rarely does better equipped man and better
adapted one for the place he seeks, than George M
Austin offer himself for public office.
Without seeking to draw any nvidious comparl-
it is enough to point out that Mr. Austin Is spe-
ciay trained for the work of supervisor He has lived
an active life during the IL he has been IN I'M
peria Valley He has from the very first taken an ac-
tive part in community affairs, the while he was de-
veoping his farming interests and bringing them to
conspicuous place. He is permanent resident Every
dollar he is invested in Imperial Valley lie has
succeeded in farming and stock growing and has now
rented his fine holding to big company for intensive
production This gives him time to devote his energies
and his talents to the important work of conducting
the affairs of the county.
Mr.. Austin has practical knowledge of road build
ing and he is committed to the proposition that one OF
the most urgent needs of this county is better hgh-
way system. Transportation is vital factor and we
must improve it, If men like Mr.. Austin had been in
charge of the expenditure of the million and a hall
dollars proceeds of bonds voted and expended for
road work we feel certain there would be more than
the pitiaby small stretches of permanent county nigh
way totalling only 292 miles to show for it. Good
roads and good schools the principal planks in his
platform They good enough for him to
stand upon. He is enthusiastically committed to the
Boulder Dam and All-American canal projects. He
has done much as president of McCabe Farm Center
and vice chairman of the Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau to improve farm conditions Voters support
Mr. Austin with confidence and assurance.

TO-DAY IS NAVY DAY

Today is Navy Day and throughout the valley, in
every city and county school, it is planned to have spe
cial observances Of the day in for other This
is timely and fitting and should have the encourage
ment of every father and mother throughout the
try.
The day has two purposes: First, to commemorate
the birthday of great American Theodore Roosevelt,
and secondly, to call the attention of Americans every
where to the Importance of keeping strong and de-
pendable our first line of Defense the United States
navy.
Roosevelts birthday anniversary today will re-
kndle in the hearts of his followers hot flame of
affection for their hero.
He was too dynamic character and his too lively
life to be forgotten easily. He had his enemies bit
ter ones, but these, too will mellow as time passes
and while his faults and weaknesses, to which
human he was heir, will be recognized by posterty,
the Roosevelt of dashr moral and hpsical courage
OF service to his nation of endless personal accomplish
ment of engaging democracy will remain dominant in
the minds of most men and women.
Many of our people still fail to realize the tremen-
dous peacetme value of the navy-as discouragng
as an industrial asset and training school for
thousands OF young men every year President Cleve
land points out in his first message to congress that
The nation that cannot resist aggression is constantly
exposed to it. It's foreign policy is of necessity weak
and its negotiations conducted with disadvantage
because it is not in condition to enforce the terms die
tated by its sense of right and justice
1t was the existence of strong army and navy at
the conclusion of the Civil War that permitted the
United States to break Maximlians control of Mexico
in spite of the backing of monarchca Europe and to
uphold the Monroe Doctrine without going to war.
1t was the lack of a strong army and navy prior to
entry into the World war that lea Germany TO dS-
regard our rights, thinking that this country could
effective strength in the heater of the war;
and thus the inevitable.
1t was the strength of the navy, particularly IN
ships then building that made it possible for this
country lead in establishing the practice of limit
ing ornaments by information agreement.
In the words of Curtis D. Wilbur secretary of the
navy "The navy stands for peace and the enforce
ment of peace. When unhappily it is forced into
action in the defense of ideals it takes its place as
the first line of our national defense SYSTEM but the
real measure of its efficiency not the number of wars
it wins but rather the number of which it averts
or makes impossible by its existence.
.We welcome the most minute and searching
scrnv by the people firm in the belief that to know
the navy is to believe in it. We believe that the navy
should be maintained at its full treaty strength IN
order that it may guarantee to peace and prosper
ity."

sighed his mother.
SsLeave him to me, whispered
Uncle Wiggily. "You go out to
the movies and II cure Squeakle
of being a cry baby pig
So while her little boy pig kept
on dribbling tears all over the floor.
Mrs. Twistytail went to the moving
pictures. Then Uncle Wiggily said,
very kindly:
"Now don t cry any more, Squea-
kiel"
But the little pig cried harder
than ever. More tears splashed out
of his eyes.
"Oh, we mustn't let all these
tears 90 90 waste,'' laughed the
bunny. "I1l catch them in pail
and save them So he held a tin
pail under Squeakie 5 face and the
tears dropped into the pail. I'm

be ashamed, and would stop cry

ing into the pail. But no. Squeakle
sobbcd more than before. Oh,
such a lot of salty tears fcll-thc
pail was nearly fill,d.
And then, all of a sudden, into
the pen house jumped the Woozie
Wolf. He shifted and he snuffed
and he howlcd:
''I smell ears to nibble-Uncle

"No. Mr.. Wolff" cried brave
Uncle Wiggily. "Beforc you can

Sauealcr had cried, and the bunny
threw the salty tears right in the
face of the Wolf. The salt got in
the bad chaps eyes and made thenl
burn and smart.
"Wow! Woozie!' howled the
Wolf. "Oh, what happened"
''Squeakie cried "a lot of tears

Wolf made such q funny face, and

"Ha, Hal | thought that would
