FOREIGNERS THE CHIEF
BOOTLEGGERS

A federal grand jury, in its report
to the court, pointed out that an
overwhelming majority Of bootleg
gers of foreign birth had made no
application for naturalization or had
obtained only their first papers. The
same jury recommended denial of cit
izenship and urged deportation of all
such unnaturalized foreigners. We
are in hearty accord with the jury's
recommendation. These foreigners
must understand that the eighteenth
amendment is more than "a scrap of
paper" But the foreigners are not
the only offenders! Something ought
to be said and done about those
Americans who know what the law
is and yet who violate, and incite VIC
lations of it. "Deport all foreign
bootleggers; put all American boot
leggers behind thebars" would be a
reasonable and righteous slogan for
this day.

1t seems to be a settled practice on
the part of Europe to beg America
to feed and clothe the European poor.
1t may be that her lords and poten-
tates are living off the fat of the
land, but that does not matter in the
least. The whine is insistent; Feed
our starving ones" Charity is all
right--it is more than all right; it is
Godlike. But begging is an evil and
breeds greater evils. Europe begs
too much and does not try sufficient
ly to serve her poor. The classes that
can help, the rich, the powerful, the
governmental leaders--fail to extend
aid It is a good deal like Jacob sit.

MAY DEVELOP TO
BE- ''SWEET SpUD
KING" OF VALLEY

4 "You can raise fine sweet DO
! xatoes in Imperial Valley if you
"a at it rishb' said M. j.. Curtis
I y Seeley ree%tly. And Curtis ought
'to know, fofff he continues in the
direction in which he is headed, he
may be the "sweet potato king
of Imperial Valley.
Many people wig live in this com
munity are not aware that the large,
yellow sugary sweet potatoes which
they have been enjoying for their
holidays meals are grown locally.
While some sweet potatoes are OF
course shipped in, Curtis, from his
ranch west of Seeley near New Riv-
er, supplies most of the dealers in
Ell Centre, as. well as several in
Brawley, Imperial and Calcxico.
For several years Curtis has been
experimenting and has found that
on his soil, the "Nahcy Hail. pro-
duces more satisfactorily than any
other variety. Irrigating sparingly
is the secret Of growing good sweet
potatoes, this farmer believes. Too
much irrigation makes the sweet po-
tato coarse, stringy and short on
sugar content.
Curtis states that his "swect po-
tato mine,' some times produces
seven tons to the acre. The local
product is ready for consumption
before November !, but will con-
tinue growing until the first frost,
and can be safely held and put on
the market all through the winter
season.
According to the local grower, he
does not believe that quantity pro
duction for shipment to the coast
would pay, but he sees no reason
why Imperial county should not pro
duce its entire consumption.

RUSSIAN NOTE
CAUSES s n
Prime Minister Macdonald
Believed Letter to Com
muniStS to Be Genuine

CARDIFF, WALES, Oct. 27 (By
The Associated Press).- Prime
Minister Macdonald, speaking before
a political meeting here today, de-
clared that he honestly believed to
be genuine the alleged letter from NJ.
Zinovieff to the British communists,
upon which was based in part the
protest submitted by the British for
eign office on Friday to the Soviet
representative in London.
Stressing the fact that the matter
had been handled in the briefest
possible time, the Premier asserted
that in the old days" the foreign
office would have taken weeks to
deal with the situation.
Accepting the challenge to make
public the date of receipt of the
Zinovieff letter, made to the govern
ment by the press hostile to it, Mr..
Macdonald declared that the letter
had been received by the foreign Of
flee on October 10, the date of the
dissolution of parliament. Only nine
days elapsed between the receipt of
the document and the answer, he
said.
Mr.. Macdonald declared unequo-
cally that the British government
would not brook interference from
any foreign power. He said he could
not avoid the suspicion that the en-
tire incident was a political plot.

S75 TAKEN BY THIEVES
IN STORE At MORGAN

MORGAN. Oct. 27.-The store OF
Joseph Hook. just at the southerly
end of the Morgan bridge, was en-
tered some time late last night or
early this morning and ransacked.
Merchandise to the extent of $50 was
taken and cash amounting to little
over $11 dollars taken from the cash
box.
Entrance was gained by means of
a window on the side porch OF the
building which faces the Cheesquake
creek. The lock was released after a
small piece of the glass was removed
and after that the ransacking of the
place was easy. Mr.. Hook does not
live in the same building, but in
house about ESQ feet away.
The thieves evidently used an QUITO
to take the merchandise away, be-
cause of the great deal of goods
taken. The Sayreville police were
notified and are making an investi-
CATION. The store of Elmer Straub
near the dance hall was also entered
but little merchandise was taken.
