"They were appointed By me by
authority of the legislative act which

"Their aid was invaluable. BY our
efforts we restored to you taxpayers
a railroad property worth a million

LYNCH DAVIDSON

ROBSTOWN SPEECH
Candidate Says He Will Do
Everything to Suppress
Organization.

Robstown, Tex, April 24.-Lynch
Davidson, candidate for governor, dis
cussed the Ku Klux Khan from the
standpoint of an aspirant for Demo-
cratic office before an. audience at
Robstown yesterday afternoon, en-
phasizing the point that because a
candidate was anti-klan in his plat
form it did not qualify him for the
high office of governorShip. To be
anti-klan. declared Lynch Davidson,
should be academic with any candidate
for office under this democratic form
of government. If candidate
in Texas democracy seeking the gov
ernorship of this state is not anti
khan to start out with he is out of
tune at the very outset with the prin-
ciples of the democracy whose suf-
frage he seeks, he said.
There should be no question as to
his opposition to a clique, bloc or
group which tramples religious free
dom for the right to worship as we
please is one of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the democracy under which
we live, he said. The candidate de-

"that it is surprising in this great
democracy of ours that there should
be candidates for the governorship

Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
il you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Many soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which
is pure and greaseless. and is better
than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls is suf-
ficient to cleans your hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excess oil. The hair dries quick
" and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright, lustrous, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cOcoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store; it is
inexpensive and a few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months.

TPIBiJTE-AND BEST WISHES

Regret IS heard on all sides over the impending
departure of Miss Josephine Brown secretary of the
Young Women's Christian Association in Imperial
County who leaves this week to continue her y W. c.
A. activities in China.
An expression of appreciation for the splendid
work Miss Brown has performed since her arrival in
the valley is particularly fitting this time She has
labored long and arduously and has given much of
herself to the movement she loves dearly She has
proven wonderful impetus to the girl reserve
ment in valley and the ideals she and her
typfy have helped raise the standards of hundreds of
young women in Imperial Valley, the full results of
which will not be apparent until long after Miss Brown
has gone to fields anew.
The attribute this worker possesses of striking
right at the heart of any problem, without mincing
around the edges evadng the issues of unpleasant
crises which bound to arise is commendable and
unusual and will carry her far in her chosen
ton. The Press extends to Miss Brown congratula-
tons upon the merited recognition she has been ac-
corded which will give opportunity for enlarged SER
vice and wishes for her every success in her
vironment.

Sam H. Preston, who is in charge

10 following reasons why shipping

the shipper and the grower:

THRIFT AND MERRINENT

The Christmas Thrift and Saving Clubs inaugu-
rated by banks in recent years have seemed to help
chiefly the and the stores they patronized This
year develops that these clubs have turned out to be
a first aid to the postoffice in its mail early" cam
pagn.
With the banks arranging to send out their Christ
mas fund checks promptly, great many persons are
enabled to do their gfbuyng before the middle OF the
month, who formerly had to wait until the last ay
check before Christmas
The sort of thrift and efficiency represented by
the practice OF early shopping early mailing and build
ing of Christmas funds through the year certainly
should increase rather than deract from the real Joy
and merriment of this holiday.

CHILD LABOR PALACES

If the child labor amendment should fail to ratfi-
cation 1t would be quite much through ignorance
persons who profess to be chldren friends through
the outright opposition of selfish interests willing to
exploit childhood for gain
1t seems strange that American citizens could be
made to believe that anybody wants to abolish or could
abolish, domestic tasks for children suitable vaca
ton work for boys and girls. Says the Portland Ore
gonan:
"The assumption that congress would exercise its
powers unwisely is absolutely unwarranted, and be-
trays distrust in representative government that
much criticize congress- is not justified To say
that congress would impose idleness by law that it
would forbid boys to sell newspapers morning and eve
ming before and after school hours, or that it would
forbid farmers boys and girls to help father and

Indifference the interests of great industries which
have defenders in the capital.
Everybody who looks at the subject of child labor
with due regard for the welfare of the nation of which
the people the most precious resource knows that
continuous, monotonous work in factory is destruc
tive of childhood, physically and mentally, and pro-
duces an ignorant, physically degenerated population
Children need education in order that the United States
may have intelligent population, fit to carry
preventative government.
If the test of nations civilization is the charac-
ter of its homes and the development of its human
sources then it is necessary that children be protected
from exploitation that ruins health, prevents education
and dulls the outlook life and its problems Under
good conditions and wise supervision boy may acquire
