MEMBERS BOYCE
f. ATEN POST TO
CONDUCT DRIVE
Plan for Intensive Cam
paign to Raise Their
Allotment

Boyce Aten Post, Ar fericap~te
gion, is going to endeaVrTfo raise
its quota of the American Legion
endowment fund. this decision hav-
ing been reached at last night S
meeting when the membership vot-
ed to rcorganize the endowment
fund committee.
Every other post in the valley
has succeeded in raising at least Il
considerable portion of its quota, it
was pointed out at the meeting, and
thus far Boyce Aten post has not
attempted to do its share. This con
dition has not been caused by any
lack of enthusiasm among the mem
bership, Commander Thannum stat
ed this morning, but is due to the
confusion resulting from changing
Officers, made necessary by the re-
moval from the city of Ray Ellis.
The meeting appointed commit
tee composed of Hugh Osborn, Lee
Nuffer, A. G. Farrar and Jimmy
Greene, to perfect plans for carry
ing on an intensive campaign which
is to open next Monday morning.
The posts quota is $ll00, which has
been set by the department of Cali
fornia. on Il pro rata basis of mem
bership.
While the cmomittee has not vet
perfected its plans, the post has
authorized any of the above mem
bers of the committee to accept con-
tributions for the fund They will
give receipts for any donations ac-
cepted, and proper acknowledge
ment of the contributions will be
made.
To Announce Plans Soon,
It is knowaf to Gmembers of the
post that the general public has
been waiting for the members of
Boyce Aten post to make announce
ment of its plans regarding the en-
dowment fund, and undoubtedly
many would like. to make cOntribu-
tions if they knew to whom the
money should be given. -..
Hugh Osborn will act as treasurer
of the committee and those wish
ing to make contributions to him
can do so at the local branch of
the Southern Trust and Commerce
bank.
Definite plans as to the manner
in which the campaign is to be con-
Quoted will be announced the lat
ter part of this week, the post com
mander stated, and there will be no
letup in the drive until BOvce Aten
post has raised its quota.
Final arrangements were made for
the funeral of r. /. Martin, which
will be held tomorrow afternoon at
2:30 under the auspices of FL Cen

minor girl, was found guilty by a
jury i'll Department No. > of the
superior court shortly before 6
o clock last night. With the verdict
the jury returned a recommendation
that Leon be given Il sentence in

nial of the charges against him, as
scrting that he had never harmed
the girl, who lived in the same
house with Leon near Holtville, with
her foster-parents. The latter swore
to the complaint against Leon.
The girl in the case appeared as
chief witness against Leon, and
swore he had attacked her.

Imperial Valleys cantaloupe crop,
is still on the move, although ship
ments have begun to drop down, and
it is doubtful that the season will
extend week or 10 days longer, ac-
cording to the opinion given today
by c. w. Runge, district freight and
passenger agent of the Southern Pa
cific company.
Yesterdays shipment of 1873 cars
brought the season s total to IA, l49
and according to Runge, it is eX-
pected the crop may reach 1880
cars, but will hardly 90 beyond that
figure. Today SO ears were ordered
for shipment.
The season will not come up to
last year for the number of cars
shipped, the records in the South
ern Pacific office showing that a
total of 1920 ears were shipped
last year of which 1880 went by
freight and 240 by express.
In resume of the 1925 season is
sued by c. f. Schultz, local repre-
sentative of the bureau of markets,
which closed Saturday, he states:
Light to moderate shipments, ex-
cellent early quality, warm eastern
weather, scarcity of other fruits,
and advertising, are given as the
causes which combined to make the
1925 Imperial Valley cantaloupe
deal one of the most successful in
recent years.

RADIO river will most probably de-
lay the obtaining of any author
izaticn from congress, and con-
sequently development of the
many projects dependent on
the river Hoover said.
1T is my understanding the
northern states wholly reject the
California proposition and will
strenuously oppose in congress
any authorization until their
water rights are protected.
Hoover declared unequivocally
in favor of construction of
high dam at either Boulder or
Black Canyon. Any delay in its
construction is courting failure
in development of the great
water and power source, he said.
THE high dam is urgently
needed now and for the next IS
years in order to accomplish the
necessary detectives at the ear
liest moment.

Valley and Los Angeles are i'm
perative, and any delay courts
disaster.
