BEING
SHIPPED BY WAY
OF TUCSON, ARl.

As q protest against the action
of the Pacific Coast railroads in
raising the billing weight on lettuce
from 20 to IS pounds per crate, I'M
perial Valley lettuce shippers are
routing their cars via Tucscn, which
results in Il considerable loss of
revenue to the Southern Pacific on
each ear handled.
According to announcements made
by the Southern Pacific this five
pound increase over the weight cs-
tablished January l, becomes eff
fective tomorrow, March /, and on
March 10 will be increased five
pounds more, making the billing
weight so pounds.
Local shippers, who are inclined
to feel that Imperial valley gets
the wrong end of the deal on mat
tcrs pertaining to freight rates IN
s, neral are highly indignant ovec
The weight increase, which will
mean an approximate raise of be-
tween 10 and Is cents per crate
based on an average Of all ship
Ei,'ntS.
Consider 1t Unfair
When between % and 80 poInds
of the weight of a packed out crate
comes from ice which is melting in
transit, and continuously dccreas-
ing the weight, shippers do not con
slider that they should be charged
the same rate as if the crate was
all lettuce.
The Southern Pacific on the other
hand states that they are Il member
of the Transcontinental Weight
Bureau, which is composed of al
Pacific coast railroads, and that this
increase is based on the fact. that
test weights in various local SHEDS
indicates that the weight of packed
out crates is more than 20 pounds
The teXt Of the Transcontinental
Freight Bureaus Weight Bulletin
No. 81 Announces:
Effective March 1st, 1924 and
continuing in effect for Is days
thereafter, lettuce shipped in stan
dard lettuce crates, as provided 10y
the California Standardization law,
and containing not more than so
pounds of ice, will be billed al
weight of rs pounds. This bulletin

Worst Drought In

by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Feb. % Two
sections of Southern California were
today trailing Rainmaker Char
les M. Hatfield and begging him to

Both Ventura and San Bernardino
counties are seeking the services of
the famed cloud coaxer, hoping to
persuade him to use his mystic
chemicals and break the serious
drought which has parched the
southland burning up crops and en-
dangering the summer water supply.
Ventura, first with its invitation,
will be the first to secure Hatfield s
services, providing suitable terms
can be reached at a conference to-
day, the rainmaker told the
United Press.
"I'l give Ventura an option -
Hatfield said, "and I'll know de-
finitely today whether that section
wants me to 90 to work, and is will
ing to foot the bill, providing l am
successful.

situation seemed increasingly en-
couraging today.
During the last 81 hours--with
actual slaughter of infected herds
under way-onlv three new eases of
infection were reported to federal
and state officials.
In the meantime rifle squads were
engaged in destruction of stricken
animals.
The animals suffering from the
disease are killed as mercifully as
possible.
The rifle squads started today
with the slaughter Of 800 head of
cattle at the Silva ranch on the
outskirts of Oakland.
Deep trenches are dug and the
animals driven up near these
trenches one by one. ,s Then mem
bers of the rifle squad kill them,
taking care that Il single, well plac-
ed shot, brings death.
The carcass is then dropped into
the trench, covered with quick lime
and buried under four to six feet
Of earth.
Two herds were destroyed yes
terday. Agreements for the des-
truction of 10 other herds have al
ready been signed by the owners.
The slaughter is done under an
agreement that the government will
pay the owners half of the value of
the animal destroyed. The state
government, it is expected, will
provide funds later from which the
other half of the value will be

What Leap Year Means
In Their Young Lives
What He Says

This is ,he extra day that the
calendar wishes on US because
1924 is a leap year. At least
they tell us it is, but today
would have come anyhow, and
it would be tough job to sop
it.
IS the extra day today or
some other day! The hot
months have more days than
this one so let s subtrac. one
Of our 125 in the shade ones
next year.
When all is said and done it
simply means just another morn
ing to get up; another time 10
go harvesting with Gillett
raozr; another day to worry
over the income tax; ~ more
hours of scandal from Wash
ington; "a hours delay in the
opening of the baseball season.
AS far as that bunk about
the girls proposing on this day
is concerned, it is fittihgly
termed '"BUNK.' Whether it
is leap year, leap day or any
other time, in SO cases ont of
10c, it is the girl who does the
proposing, only she is wise en-
ough, to let the fellow imagine
that he has done the heavy
work, and he is "sap" en-
ough 10 believe it.
Every year is leap year, as
far az the matrimonial g"me is
concerned, and every day is
"leap day And honestly, we
are glad that they the girls do
leap, or it would be u sorry
Z old world.
Imperial Valley press., 1924-02-29
What She Says

Fair maids and damsels now
arise with flirt of powder paff,
prepare to snare some handsome.
male by calling his sad bluff.
''This leap year propositicn,'
80 swear the bachelor gay,
Twill let us in. for wedding
bells, and we shall rue the day.
We know we cannot find escape
when girls o'er all the land have
just been waiting for this year
to ask our heart and hand"
"A husband isn't hard to
find.a' so thinks the bachelor
maid, "and of being an 'un-
claimed treasure I'm not n all
afraid. But clothes are very
dear this year and l really must
confess that with Easter com
ing round again, l do need a
new dress.
80 We heard tbM If mald
propose and find her heart is
Sighted, the man must give her
a new gown for love that s un-
rcquited. And so ! IL pick "
man today who likes some other
maid, then of my proftcred
heart and hand he'll surely be
afraid.
"For he will think it's Cheap
er TO buy me a new gown.
Then I'll be bound to profit
when he coldly turns me down.
And SO his lessened bank ac-
cours will tell the old tale
that the female of the species
is more clever than the male.
