WASHINGTON, d. C.--Senator-
w ial dignity anu eXclusiveness
have not yet laid low the native
good-fellowship and camaraderie of
NIagnus johnson of Minnesota.
One of the means by which visi-
tors to the capital are made aware
of the importance and awesome-
ness of senator's are the private
elevators. duly labeled: For Sen
ators Only" OF course Il senator
may take 4 guest with him in n
private lift, but the rank and file
must crowd into the common
public" elevators even though the
senatorial cars be running empty.
The other day Magnus arrived in
the basement of the capital Via the
Senate subway just as Il party OF
sightseers lined up in front of the
door TO the Public" elevator. The
car For Senators Only" was
standing empty. The Minnesota
scion stepped in and then issued Il
blanket invitation Tor the waiting
party 10 join him.
Come ride up with me-" he
cared. NO use waiting. This cars
going right up"
Thrilling at the chance to ride up
in tn private elevator with a real
senator, no second bidding was
needed. They clambered III, jam
miny the car to the Goor. AS the
car started mp, the buzzer fer the
main floor sounded. There stood
three or four other senators. all
awaiting the private seHatorial con-
veyance.
Put they had to wait. There was
no ron for them. The look on
their faces, as the car For Sem
ators Only" jammed full OF com.
mon folks, passed them by was
one of arnazement, incredulity ana
injured dignity. And if Johnson's
ears didn't burn, it was because the
old sign failed to work.

700 MORE ACRES
OF GRAPEFRUIT IN
VALLEY PLANNED
1852 Grapefruit Trees
Passed into County
During Month

An increase of over 700 aqres IN
the grapefruit acreage of bf<oun-
tv during the past 80 daysN indi-
Gated by the report submitted to the
board of supervisors by Horticul-
tural Commissioner Harrigan on
the goods which were inspected and
passed into the county during the
month of April, 1862 Of this varie-
ty of trees having come in.
In addition to this, $4,000 citrus
seedlings were received. Tangerines
are evidently gaining in popularity,
as 1924 We're purchased by local
rancherS.
One of the interesting items on
the list is two avocado trees. Com
missioner Harrigan states that ap-
proximatelv a dozen of these trees,
which are such remarkable revenue
producers have been put out here
in the past season. Climatic con-
dition appear to be favorable, and
there seems good possibility of
these first experimental paintings
resulting in the development of a
new and profitable industry for I'M
perial Valley.
The great strides made in straw
berry and asparagus culture are
evidenced by the fact that during
the month 65 ears of Strawberries,
besides 57lS2 trays of the same de-
liciuus fruit were sent out of the
valley, while the asparagus ship
ments totaled 10000 crates. Besides
these two important crops, thou
sands of boxes of small garden veg
etables were shipped, thus living
up fully to Imperial Valleys re-
putation as the ''winter garden
spot of the continent. >

Washington, Sept. 12. - General Pershing will be retired from &C., tive service tonight at midnight by orders issued and signed personally by President Coolidge, as comman- der4in-chief of the army and navy of the United States.
 The order, issued only in cases of retirement of military officers who held the rank of full general, will take the form of a general an- nouncement to the army that Gen. eral Pershing has passed, to the re- tired list.
 It is probable that the order will be accompanied by personal let ter from President Coolidge re- counting the generals services to the nation.
 Hundreds of reserve officers, many in uniform, for the first time since they were mustered out of the service, took the opportunity to bid farewell to General Pershing.
 A former cabinet officer and two Episcopal bishops were in the line of uniformed reserved officers which passed by to shake his hand. They were Lieutenant Colonel Will H. Hays, former postmaster gen. eral, and Bishop Freeman of the Washington diocese, and Bishop Brent of New York state, formerly chief chaplain of the A. F. F.
 Messages of greeting were re- ceived by General Pershing from of ficers of the allied armies associated with him during the war One came from Major General Debeny, chief of staff of the French army, who declared Your brothers in arms will keep alive always the memory of the eminent chief who brought the valiant American troops to France and led them to the con- mon victory for right and liberty"

WORKS HIS OWN WAY ON EUROPEAN JOURNEY
Byron HogabOom Visits England, France, Bel
 gium and Germany

England, France, Belgium and Germany were the countries visited this summer by Byron Hogaboom of 557 Stanley street. Early in the summer, he decided that he would visit Europe working his way as much as possible. The last week of June, he left New Britain for Bos- ton where he attempted to secure work on a steamer. Not successful he went to Montreal, Canada, where he secured employment on a freight CT. After spending a short time in England, he worked his way across the English channel and went to Paris.
 From Paris, Hogaboom's means of travel was a bicycle. Whenever he had to take a train on which he could not take his bicycle he would sell it and later op buy an- other. While in France. he visited the battle fields and other points of interest. From France, he went to Belgium from where he made his way into Germany one night, being ing able to travel faster on one of his bicycles than the guard on the border was able to run.
 After spending over two months in Europe at comparatively small cost he returned home on steamer on which he served as assistant steward. He arrived home, in New Britain, late Wednesday night, and today he left for Middetown where he will continue his studies at Wes- leyan university where he Is 8 junior.
