FULLER DENIES
SOCIALISM in
CAL. COLLEGES

Lon Fuller, son of F. B. Fuller of
the Southern Trust and Commerce
bank, and II student at Stamford
University, was. the speaker at the
weekly luncheon of the FL Centre
kiwani's club this noon, taking for
his topic Socialism in Colleges. -
The speaker declared that the re-
ports throughout the country that
socialism is rampant in colleges, is
chiefly the work of "yellow news
papers and radical journals which
like to claim that their follower are
making progress with their doctrins
eS in intellectual circles. In his
opinion, he said, socialism in the col
leges is present in only a small de-
gree.
Norman C, Deaton delighted the
k:wanians with recitation entitl-
ed Busted,'- poem dedicated to
the top-sergeants of the American
army who received their commits
>ions during the World War, only to
be returned to the ranks when the
war was over.
The Misses Margaret Lanier and
Frances Williams rendered several
piano and violin j,uets which were
vigorously applauded by the XII
wanians.
Harold Tyler, who represented the
club ut the recent convention of
kiwanis clubs, attempted to make
a report on the convention, but was
only able to get as far as Albu,
qucrque, New Mexico, when the
time limit for the meeting expired.
Harold will begin at albuquerque
next week and will be compelled
to finish the report if his fellow
kiwanians have to pull it ont of
him.
Dr. r. G.. Clemons was chairman
of the day.

GOV. RODRIGUEZ
OFFERS TO Give
WATER TO VALLEY

The recent favorable water report
of Ray CarberrY, engineer of the
Imperial Irrigation district, which
declares that there is twice us much
water flowing through the Colorado
river at Yuma this year as at the
same date last year, will not make
it necessary for the district to avail
itself of the recent kind offer Of
Gov. Abelardo Rodriguez Of Lower
California.
Governor Rodriguez recently sent
Il letter to the directors offering 10
divert the underground water sup
ply being developed in Lower Cali
fornia to the gravity system in the
event that Colorado river supply
failed during the late summer.
Governor Rodriguez attached no
strings to his offer. it is said, pro
posing that the entire suhterranean
flow recently developed near the
border be made available for do
nestle and ranch use.
1t is claimed that enough water
has been developed to supply the
domestic needs of all Imperial Val
ley, and already tentative plans are
being considered TO install pump
ing plants to furnish CaleXico and
MeNicali domestic water.
The wells have proved the pre-
sencc of fine water bearing gravel

chased the other ear, which turned
out to be a car of another species.
Capt. Smith Along
Again heading westward, Morgan
drove within Il few miles of Sceley
when the big Packard loomed into
sight. and was hailed. 1t slowed
down, and after turning around
Morgan drove beside it to find out
what the cross-comtrv men wanted.
With Wells and Wade, was Cap
tain Lowell Smith. who commanded
the roundthc- world flight, and
who was in the car as an observer
for the American Automobile asso-
citation. Smith had sent word
ahead that he lust had to sec'
his old flying pal. Dutch Henry,
who is employed in Ell Centre by
Rivers, Burnand and Rivers. Henry
had been apprised by Cass and
Morgan that Smith was on his way
in, and promised to be at the garage
in time to meet the cross.countrv
car.
The Press masswapped seats with
Wells, who came into the city with
Morgan, the local man coming in
with Wade and Captain Smith. The
latter was full of questions about
RI Centre, and spoke pleasantly of
the days he had spent here in 1920
as commander of the local aviation
field.
He stated among other things
that FL Centre should have had the
emergency gOvernment aviation
field rather than Calexico. and that
II was a mistake for this city TO
have allowed its ole" aviation field
to be abandoned. He declared that
ri Centre will doubtless regret that
it was too busy with other things
to 90 after the aviation field.
Arriving in FL Centro the autoists
were greeted by large crowd which
was on hand to watch them take
their fuel and supplies con the
run.
As far as Smith was concerned,
IT was child S play to take tho five
five c-gallon cans of gasoline and en-
PITY them into the auxiliary tank.
Smith was member of the quartet
that first accomplished the stunt
OF refueling an airplane while in
flight, turning the trick at San Di-
ego over two years ago.

DIRECTORS FIRE
ENGINEER; NEW
ECONOMY MOVE
Deny RumOr That Jones
Refuses to Give Up
Job

BY vote Of the directors of the
Imperial Irrigation district vester-
day, the board decided to dispense
with the services of d. w. Murphy,
consulting drainage engineer, effec
tive July 81, and requested that n
final report on his work be sub
mitted to the board before that
time.
The work performed by Murphy
has been entirely satisfactory to
the board. it was stated at the Of
flee of the district today, but as
there is 10 further need of his ser
vices, it was decided to dispense
with them. Should the board be in
need of such services at Il future
date, il was stated they would make
every effort to retain him, his repu
tation in engineering circles being
of the highest.
referring to rumOr that has pre-
vailed throughout the valley for
several days to the effect that Paul
Jones, woh was dismissed recently as
superintendent OF the imperial di-
vision, refuses 10 relinquish his of
flee to II. G. Miller, who was ap-
pointed to succeed him, it was stat
ed at the district office that such
is the case, or at least that Jones
has stated he would not resign.
There was no action taken on this
matter at yesterdays meeting of
the directors. and the subject did
nor even come up r5r discussion.
In case Jones still refuses to be
ousted, it is possible the board will
take action at its next meeting on
Tuesday.

Memories of the DAYS he spent
here in 1919 and 1920 as commander
Of border patrol aviation squadron
were wildly recalled bv Captain
Lowell II. Smith, commander Of the
famous round-the-world flyers. who

day, having acted as observer from
Los Angeles TO Yuma for his COM
rade. Lieutenant Leigh Wade. who
is attempting to drive a car across
the country without stopping.
The captain, who has achieved
lmdying fame since the DAYS when
he was in this city, is an unusually
pleasant fellow. and it is easy to
understand how he made many
friends during his stay here. lie is
quiet and q bit reserved, until one
gets into conversation with him, and
- minutes spent in his company is
enough to show why he was chosen
to command the world flyers after
Ma .ior Martin was out of the trip
wien he crashed into mountain in
Alaska.
Like Lieutenant Wade he Will an
swer any question put to him regard
ing the world flight. He will an
swer it briefly, vet fully, but with
out the least trace of egotism. Last
night however. he seemed to wish
to talk more about FL Centre and
his experiences here, principally his
work as a ball player. on the FL Cen
tro team.
