THIS TRIO FOR CITY TRUSTEES

With the election for city trustees only two weeks
away the Press takes this occasion to support the
candidacy of the three candidates who II oeieNeS ae
particularly fitted to fill the POSITIONS
These three men, all tried and true command the
shown by the handling of their own or their respe?
tive companys affairs that they are possesSCa o. M
tiative sound common sense and executive aoilty 70
an unusual degree.
We sneak of w H Lavayea j. T. Rice and R. II.
Cary who have announced their candidacy for the
vacancies occurring in the ranks of the city council
Mr. Lavayea needs no introduction to the voters
of the community, having just completed a two years
term on the board of trustees, during winch time ne
has served the people well chairman of one OF the
most important branches of the cltys ousness-tHe
Finance Committee. Through years OF business eA-
perience, Mr. Lavayea is peculiarly fitted to heao tne
committee handling the citys funds and Thoroughly
sound business administration Of the past two years
under his committees guidance, shows conclusNely
that his services true asset to the community ana
should not be discontinued In his experience with city
affairs Mr. Lavayea has become thoroughly fafliiiaf
with the ctys needs and her capacity to meet them IN
financial way and it would be sheer folly to replace
valuable like this with an untrled, new man
from the ranks.
Mr. Rice too is we'll known to the taxpayers of
the community by reason of his very efficient term as
supervisor from Imperial back in 1916. A civil eng-
neer of exceptional ability he should be lnVaiuaoie III
several departnents of citys business and should be
splendid acquisition in the ctys water department
where 900 will be spent in improvements this com
ing wear if the voters ordain Mr.. Rice is regarded
by many as having been one OF the most competenI
supervisors who ever served the people OF Imperial
county and his great fund of knowledge along his chos
on profession will make his counsel worth much to
local citizens.
Mr. Cary's record of capability as an executive
and technical man is evidenced by his long years con-
nection with the company over whose local plant he
presdes as manager. He has had wide experience as
an administrative man, is well versed IN practical
problems and bears the respect of all with Whonl ne
in contact His five years residence in this city
makes him fully with Ell Centros needs and
aims and enables him to approach any problem entail
inc the welfare of the.cty with thorough under
standing of all the facts in the
With three such men added to the present board
of city trustees city of Ell Centro should enjoy one
of the capable administrations in her history Tor
after all city is only as aggressive and progressive
as the men at the helm of her government.

INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT WAR

Several years ago act of congress provided
that imports brought III American ships might have
the benefit of lower duties than goods brought in
foreign ships. The act had an admirable purpose-to
enable American shipping to make living. But it
might have been mischevous in its indirect results
that three Presidents in succession have deliberately
refrained from taking any steps to enforce it.
Statesmen realize that il would mean the viola
tion of dozens Of commercial treaties with other
tins, and that if the United States violated those
treaties, rival nations would do the thing. Soon
every country with a merchant marine would be i'm
porting nearly all its goods in its ships and nearly
all the worlds shipping would travel empty one way
and neary twice many ships would be needed which
would be ruinous all around.
Now the Interstate Commerce Commission appears
appears to be approaching the problem from
other direction. 1t recently granted q preferential
railroad rate goods shipped to from American
vessels Thus, while there is direct discrimination
in favor OF American cargoes by sea, there discrim-
inaton in favor OF seagoing cargoes that part Of
their routes which is over American railroad lines.
No commercial treaty is violated by this action.
Yet economists urging that the action is unwise
lust the same because it will other nations TO
retaliate. 1t would be unfortunate If FEance, Ger
many, England and the British dominons, our best
customers, to establish similar discrimination in
their rail rates, to benefit their shipping.
That is what they viii do, say the economists, leaving
our shipping worse off than We shall see
whether the Interstate Commerce Commission OF It's

EXPANDING FORESTRY PLANS

State by state The work Of restoring and preserV-
ing larger forest progressing Missouri IS one
of the states now enlargng its plans in this regard
The Missouri Forestry Association only three years
old has been working with very limited funds-only
few hundred dollars year. This year its resources
are to be considerably increased and it plans to eX-
pand its work accordingly.
In the first place the association wants better To-
cal forestry laws Then it plans the establishment of
public state parks and fish and game preserves. No
doubt it will carry all the time, continuous pro-
gram of public education to the need of forests,
their financial we'll esthetc and other advant-
ages and the best methods of conserving them.
An encouraging feature of the forestry movement
in all parts of the country is the fact that commercial
lumber interests are waking up to the situation and
are employing enlightened, scientific methods in get
ting out the timber ready to without destroying or
in juring the next crop.
Some states are far ahead of Missouri in forestry
work. and all of them have to do before the ma
ton achieves consistent conservation policy Yet such
a time now seems assured.

along. winding the string on his top
in order 10 have IL all ready to
spin at thc first chance.
Along thc path, pittcr pattcr and
pattor pitter galloped Toppv, and
Just in fror: OF him, after a while,
he saw Uncle Wiggily hopping
along.
"Oh. ] guess 7 have plenty of
time TO get TO school, thought
Toppv. "Uaclc WiggRv is going

You sect I told youl Toppv was

out his top, with the string wound
around il, and, just rs he was be
hind Uncle Wiggily. Toppy threw
his top hard on the gr0und-for so
YOU must do TO spin a TOP, YOU
know.
And thcR-something happened!
Toppy's hoof slipped, the top
struck n stone, bounced up and then
the top hit Uncle Wiggily ON his
head.
"Oh-eC-ee-we wec--eete, Baked
potatoes, cried the bunny gentle
man, twinkling his pink nose and
putting his paw M to his head.
"Oh! Who hit me

eyes, ms 'am--I mean, yes, sir,
I WILL" promised the little don
key boy, sadly. He picked up his
top where it had bounced off Uncle
Wiggily's head and once more
wound the string on it. y
"You aren t going to spin it
again, are you7"' cried the bunny,
holding his paws over his head. -
"No," answered Toppy.s
"No! I'm glad of it!' said the
bunny. "Better hurry along to
school with me or we both may be
latel"
SO Toppy hastemed along with
Uncle Wiggily and when they were
almost at the hollwo stump school,
the Fox leaped out from the bushes,
"Ah, ha! Now L have you'll y

NY. "You must see Toppy spin his
top before you take me off to your
den. Spin your top for the Fox,
Toppyl"
Toppy threw his top hard down
on the ground. And, just as Uncle
Wiggily had hoped, the top flew
over and banged the Fox on the end
of his nose, making it bleed.
ooh, boiled onions!'' howled the
Fox. "Oh, my nose is broken!' y
And away he ran, not hurting the
bunny at all.
"Come on, now, Toppy!' laugh
cd Uncle Wiggily. "You have spun

say. His trick was this: He was
a playful little chap, and loved to
spin tops. lie nearly always had
top in his pocket and every
chance he got he would spin it.
But the funny thing about il was
that often, when Toppv threw his
top down hard, 10 make it spin, the
top would fly up and break 4 vim
dow, or hit some old animal gentle
man on the nose or do something
like that. Once Toppv's top flew
into the water while his mother
was washing the dishes and splash
ed her all over.
That S why this little donkey boy
was called Toppy.
"Come on, Toppv! braycd his
brother Tippy to him one morning,

"Wait until find my top! beg

"No, m not going to watt

Then he ran on to the Hollow
Stump School, taught by the Lady
Mouse while Toppv looked all
around the room for his top, and
also the string by which to spin
it.
"Hurry, Toppy!' - begged his
mother.
"All right. have my top, and
