the wishes of these twelve, average,
everyday folks who have got ahead
or are well on the road. l give first
the pOstman's story. He has never
earned more than $1,80O a year, yet
he and his wife could afford, and
took, 7-mOnths vacation tour of
Europe. The pOstman's story:
you don't get something for
nothing" said the postman. That's
the first big thing 1 learned in try
ing to get ahead. I was an orphan
at six weeks and a newsboy at six
years. 1 found out terribly early
that you've got to put something by
for bad luck. got 5000 a year when
1 entered the postal service. I re-
gularly put by at least 10 per cent
every pay day. Put it in a savings
account. When I'd get a few hun
dred dollars I'd put it in safe bonds
How'd 1 know what securities to
buy? 1 didn't and don't. But 1 can
read the newspapers, can't I? I've
never forgotten that you don't get
something for nothing. 1 know there
are sharks waiting for uniformed
investors like me-read of fake oil
promotions and bucket shops in the
papers. l simply looked and asked
for reliable investment securities. 1
didn't pick my investments. 1 pick
ed men no made a business of pick
ing investments, and who 1 was dead
sure were honest and knew their
business. That's all there is to it.

Harrington
Garrett S. Harrington Heads Com
merce Body.

merce Body.
Garrett S. Harrington was the
unanimous choice of the Chamber Oi
Commerce for President of that body
for the coming year. Mr.. Harrington
has been identified with the mercan-
tile trade for number of years. He
is a S2nd degree mason, a member
of Temple Lodge, No. 8, also a mem
ber of Wilmington COnsistOry, Ever
green Forest, No. 40, Tall Cedars of
Lebanon, and member of their
band. He is also a member of Chos-
en- Friends Lodge of Odd Fellows.
The other officers are Wilbur f.
Jacobs, secretary; Ernest Raughley
assistant secretary, and Fred l..
Masten, treasurer. All of the above
named officers are actively engaged
in business.
The year just past has been a very
active one, but many who are not
identified with the organization
don't seem to understand the mis-
sion of commercial body. Harring-
ton for many years needed another
doctor and a dentist to meet the
needs of this fast growing commun-
ity. Both of these have been secur-
ed. No time or expense has been
spared in advertising the advant-
ages of the town.
At later meeting twenty-five di-
rectors will be named, and from
them four vice-presidents will be
elected. The Vice-presidents will
head the various sections of the
commerce body. Only men who show
a willingness to put their shoulder
to the wheel will head the sections.
The members present Tuesday
evening pledged their whole hearted
support to the new president and
the incoming officers. With such a
live bunch of officers at the helm,
great things are predicted for the
year Everything ran harmonious
and rising vote of thanks was Civ
en- the retiring officers for their
splendid service during the past two
years. At the close of the business
session a light lunch and smokes
were served at a nearby restaurant.

That the effort to create cleaner

Board of Health has born abundant
fruit, is evidenced by the results
of statewide re-eXaminatiOn of
milk samples collected and tested

The monthly birthday party of the
Christian Endeavor Society of the
RehobOth Presbyterian Church, held

tender remembrances from her two
children, Mrs. Ethel Littleton. of
LeWes, and Mrs. Blanche Shaffer of
New York. After the pastor, DR.. Lit

MUCH INTEREST
in BALL GAME

Indications pointed TO 1arge
attendance at the baseball game be-
tween Central Union and San Ber-

little difficulty in disposing of
them.

arrived at I O'Clock, but were eX-
peeted shortly after that time.

JUDGE CONKLING
TAKES EXCEPTION
TO STATEMENTS

Taking exception to several re-
marks regarding him, made by Con
gressman Phil d. Swing in written
statement given to the Press yes
terday, and printed in last night S
issue, Judge NJ. w. Conkling to-
day gave the following statement
to the Press, asking that it be
printed to let the public know
wherein he disagrees with the con-
gressman:
81 notice that Mr.. Swing insists
upon using by name in connection
with irrigation district matters,
Notwithstanding I have had nothing
whatever to do with the contro-
versy, either by suggestion, advice
or otherwise.
"Mr. Swings statement in yes
terday's Press that 1 advised the
irrigation district directors to the
effect that it was legal for the di-
reetors to expend money for the pur-
pose of influencing federal. or any
other legislation, is untrue. I have
always believed the contrary.
"His statement that | was ben
eficiary under any such procedure
is worse than untrue, for Mr.. Swing
must have known l did not receive
any benefit from money paid me
for expenses while in Washington
on business for the district and l
had considerable business there
apart from influencing or attempt
ing to influence federal legisla-
tion.

RICHARDSON IN
6 REASONS WHY
GAS BILL FUTILE
by United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, May 22.-Six
reasons for not signing the gasoline
tax bill which increases the tax
from = to cents a gallon, were ad-
vanced by Governor Friend W.
Richardson today.
The reasons are based on an opin
ion obtained by the governor from
Attorney General U. S. Webb which
declares that the amendments writ
ten into the bill by the senate rend-
er it unconstitutional
"If I sign this bin the result
would be as follows, - the governor
declares:
l. Nine weeks when millions of
gallons Of gasoline sold would es-
cape taxation.
.. The loss of more than eight mil
lions of dollars Of road money to
the counties and the state.
3. The act rs written would
raise no money until May, 1926.
4. Pork barrel amendments so
badly bungled as to be constitu
tional.
5. If pork barrel amendments are
valid then all gas money would be
frozen and all work stopped until
next session of the legislature.
6. To permit referendum of this
unconstitutional and bungled bin
would be futile and expensive.

TWO MEN JAILED
HERE ARE MUCH
WANTED, MEXICO
Sentenced To. Islands"
They Made Recent
Escape

What fate has in store for AL
fredo Bonsas and Rafael Villabos,
who were turned over to Mexican
officials yesterday is secret that
the representative of the Mexican
government are keeping to them
selves, but judging from the conduct
of the two men as told by jail Off
cials here, it undoubtedly BODIES no
good for them.
Bonsas and Villabos were arrest
ed at Brawley on May 4, charged
with stealing car, which it is al
legged they drove out to Il deserted
part of the county and stripped of
its parts. 49,
They were held at the county Jail
here awaiting trial. While talk
ing over other matters with the
Mexican officials at ,Mexicali yes
terday, Deputy Sheriff Oswalt was
shown a picture of Bonsas and Vii
labos, and was asked to keep an eye
out for them in this country, as
they We're wanted by the Mexican
government.
The deputy sheriff recognized the
pictures as those of two men in the
county jail, and so told the inspec-
tor of police at Mexicali. The lat
ter accompanied Oswalt to the coun-
ty jail, and readily identified Bon
sas and Villabos. The latter also
recognized the inspector and lost
complete control of themselves, ask
ing that they be sent to San Quen-
tin prison rather than be turned
over to the Mexican officials.
Sentenced to Islands
The inspector stated that the men
had escaped from Jail at Mexicali
several weeks ago, while awaiting
transportation to "The Islands, -
the penal colony near Mazatlan.
They were accordingly turned over
to the United States immigration of
ficers, who deported them across
the line to Mexicali, where they
were taken in charge by the Mexi-
can officials. Aside from stating
that the two men had bad criminal
records, the officials would not dis
cuss the charges against the men.
It was intimated that they would
be tried at Mexicali and sentenced
again to "The Islands, and that
this time measures would be taken
to see that they did not escape.

DRUG RAVACED
COUPLE ORDERED
TO LEAVE TOWN

Dolores and Richard Macias, ar
rested by the FL Centre police yes
terdav, were before Judge Whitelaw
in the police court this morning
charged with vagrancy. They Were
given sentences of six months each
in the county Jail, sentence being
suspended upon condition that they
leave town Immediately.
The couple are drug addicts and
presented a bedraggled appearance,
as they faced the court. The wo-
man, who stated she is 10 years old,
looked nearer to II, and resembled
a school girl, more than drug adj
diet. She admitted to the court that
she and her husband use cocaine,
but did not consider it to be habit.
She informed the court that ad-
/diction to morphine is to be con-
sidered dangerous, but that cocaine
is not a habit forming drug, and
that she and her husband can stop
using the stuff any time they wish.
The fallacy of her argument was ap
parent to all who heard it. for it
was plain to be seen that they are
fastened by the shackles of the dead
ly drug.
Macias informed the court that
thev have been ordered out of
Brawlev, Calexico and Yuma, and
with FL Centre added to the list,
he did not know where they could
90. The court informed him that
such n condition was his own fault,
and that he and his wife must stay
away from FL Centre.
