HOW 4AROTT YOIL2

1t does seem absurd that we should be back to the
same old question--but here are-have YOU regist
ed yet? 1t seems incredible how lightly some Amer
ican citizens regard their right, bought so dearly
through generations behind u.s. to go to the polls and
cast their vote for the man of their cnoice 1t is in
deed Godgiven privilege, and something each and
every and woman should appreciate and should
to the fullest advantage.
The county clerk advises us that approximately
1900 registrations expected the county before
July 26-the expiring date on which registration may
be made for the August primaries. He further ad-
vises that when these 1900 registrations all l
he will then only have registered approximately 90
per cent of the total number of possible voters through
out the county And this in year when there Is more
interest and bigger fight at the election polls han
for eight years previous.
You boosters who have pledged your efforts and
support to Swing, do you realize how important this
subject of registration is? Many may contend TINS is
only the primary election Well and good-all the
rest of the eleventh district is going to Judge Imperial
County's attitude toward Swing by the number OF
votes he carries in the primary In tins case the pr
maries the all-important point. In Phll SWING
own county, the vote for him should be so overwhelm-
ing August 26 that there is no doubt lett IN single
mind in Imperial, San Diego. Riverside, San Ber-
nardino Santa Ana Mono counties as TO whefe
Swing stands in his own community
But it can't be done if every Swing backer doesn't
make his business to round up every single acquant
ance and find if he has registered and II not take
him off bodily if necessary to either the county clerks
office or the city hall o. any of the cities IN Imperial
County and have him register before Saturday night
This really is very serious situation whose I'M
portance cannot be over-emphaslZed
There is no doubt about the fact that Imperial
County returns in August will influence hundreds OF
votes outside the county at the November election
If YOU haven't registered since January l, you
must register again before July 70
If you have moved since you registered carrier III
the wear, you must register again.
Don't neglect it or put it off. If you haven't
registered yet DO SO TOMORROW, and then make 1t
your business to quiz your nelghbor and induce MN
to 90 and do likewise If he hasn't already done So A
SO per cent registration not enoughet US all do our
part to make it at least 80 per cent

NO MORE SAVINGS STAMPS

The war savings stamps and certificates have serV
ed useful purpose. They raised large sums Tor the
government at time when it needed all the funds II
could obtain and they promoted thrift at time When
thrift was essential for the success OF the war ana e
credit of the nation.
Now it is agreed that this savings device IS no no
longer needed The government rellnquishes 1t gady
because it can borrow all the money it wants now at
less than IA per cent
The public does not seem to much; 1t has not
been patronizng this government oahk so hoeras u
late.
AS for the regular banks, especially IN the west,
trev are well pleased. They never liked to have the
government paying higher rate of interest than most
of them could afford to pay. They benefltted to
large extent indirectly, from the public thrift SO tos
tered savings deposited with them eventually IN
liberal amounts; but now they likely to be direct
benefciaries of the action of the Treasury Depart
ment. ;,
Everything considered, the change seems to be
wise move beneftting the government and beneTttng
legitimate private banking interests without DONG lne
public any harm. Timid depositors who trust Uncle
Sam more than private bankers may still avail them
selves of the postal savings bank.

Is Urgent Appeal
Ry United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, July 22.-An APP
peal to motorists of California to re-
frain from the use of muffler cut
outs while driving on roads running
parallel to grain fields or through
the mountains, because of the dan
ger of fire, was contained in Il
statement issued today at the of
fices of the division of motor We

The appeal follows reports to the
division from W. b. Rider, deputy
state forester, that number of SER
ious fires have been traced to fly
ing sparks caused by driving with
open mufflers. The statement said:
''The attention of the California
motoring public is called to the
grave danger of fire caused. by
driving through heavily forested
areas in the mountains or on roads
running through grain land and
brushy country with open mufflers.
Explosions of the engine from sparks
of red-hot carbon which may be
deposited on inflammable material.
Grass fires that spread to adjoining
grain fields are known to have been
caused in this manner.
Experience has shown that it is
possible to operate an automobile
successfully under every condition
without the use of cut-out Mo-
torists are therefore urged to re-
! frain from its use until such time
as the fire menace to California
forests and fields has passed. -
