as good business, for the cantaloupe

Carloads of imperfect fruit not only
reflect upon the community, he
said. but have a tendency to low

SECRET TREATY
BETWEEN JAPAN
AND j. s. Barred

RumOrs of secret treaty be
tween Japan ard Mexico, granting
, unusual rights in Mexico to Japan
ese, which caused considerable dis
| cussion when they were first heard
throughout Imperial Valley last
January, have been, revived by an
article appearing in a recent issue
of the Los Angeles Times, under
the signature of John Cornyn, cor
respondent for the Chicago Tribune
The treaty is one of commerce
and friendship and encourages Jap,
anese to come to Mexico with their
families settle in industrial and ag
ricultural districts and to entel
commerce, trade, manufacture and
professions. Special encouragement
is given to japanese insurance com.
panies, which is of exceptional in
terest to American companies, many
of whom Were compelled to with.
draw from Mexico 10 years ago be
cause conditions there were not in
viting.
japanese are also given the right
to intermarry with Mexicans under
the treaty and are exempt from ser
vice in the Mexican army, despite
past opposition of Mexican papers
to japanese, because the latter did
not become Mexican citizens and
never entered the army.
japanese traders are assured
ports of entry and duties similar ia
those conceded goods brought in
Mexican boats, thereby placing Jap
anese on par with Mexicans using
the Mexican national marine.
Goods bound for other countries
from Japan may pass through Mex
leo in bond and no interior duty
can be charged japanese goods over
those levied on Mexicans, nor are
japanese goods subject to certifi-
cate of origin, which has been a
source of annoyance for foreign eX-
portcrs to Mexico. The latter coun-
try also agrees to arrest and re
turn to Japanese ships and Japan
csc sailor deserters.
The treaty which was signed on
October s, 1924, shows that Mexico
considers Japan as a favored nation,
according to Cornyn, and cncour-
ages japanese subjects to come to
Mexico where they will be assured
Of the same treatment as MeXicans.
They are to be allowed to acquire
land and property and have all
rights before Mexican courts
While in Washington, +. W. Greer
sent several stories touching upon
this treaty but by reason of the
fact that it had not been officially
released by the United States gov
crnment he was handicapped in
telling all the details of the pact,
now made public for the first time
by Cornyn.

cantaloupe acreage in Imperial Val
ley, upwards of 100 growers and dis
Worth hotel this morning to discuss
methods for handling the present
cantaloupe crop, which gives every
indication of breaking all existing
records.
B. \. Harrigan, county horticul-
tural commissioner, presided at the
meeting and stated its object was
to give the cantaloupe men a thor
ough understanding of the standard
ization laws, and to enlist their CO.
operation in maintaining the high
standard of cantaloupes that has eX-
listed i'll the past. He announced
that rigid inspection would be
conducted throughout the season,
ard urged the cantaloupe men to
help his department enforce the
laws covering fruit and vegetable
shipments.
Fred Nebel- THAI, who has been
conducting publicity campaign
to bring the cantaloupe industry of
Imperial Valley, prominently be-
fore the people of the Pacific coast,
and western territory, reported on
success of the campaign, which has
included two excellent radio broad
casting programs from Los Angeles
an intensive survey of the restau-
rant, fruit, hotel and drug store
trade, with view to increasing the
consumption of cantaloupes; the
presentation of the first crate OF
cantaloupes of the season to Presi-
dent Coolidge, and scenes from the
cantaloupe industry, which will be
shown in news reels throughout the
! country.
He stated that thus far the cam
paign has been a splendid success,
and much has been accomplished to
get the people to recognize in I'M
! perial Valley cantaloupes, the high
est quality that can be obtainablc.
New Kind of Thermometer
j. d. Noel called attention to a
registration thermometer, designed
to show the temperature of canta-
loupeS during shipments. The ther-
mometers are guaranteed to last
10 days, and can be installed upon
cars at a nominal price per ear. BY
keeping track of tho temperatures
while in transit, it is possible to
obtain much valuable data relative
to icing conditions.
Sam Preston, representing the
state and federal SHINING DOint i'm 81
pection service, announced that this
service is now ready for operation
in FL Centre and Brawley, making
possible certified shipments as a
protection to the distributor. The
same high standard of inspection
that has existed in the past, will
be maintained in the future, he said.

cents per acre toward the inspec-
tion service maintained by the

Mrs. Pound Did
Not Vote for
Acquittal

Monday morning fog evident
ly lowered in the Uranium of
the Press reporter while writ
ing up the story of the Cal
houn Jury, causing him to state
that Mrs. Earl G. Pound voted
for acquittal during the jury
balloting, when it should have
Mrs. Elsie Long who voted in
that manner.
A. N. Bucklin, foreman of the
Jury, in an interview with the
Press representative, gave the
latter the correct information,
and the latter made the proper
entry in his notes.
However, when it came to
writing up the story. the little
black imp that at times makes
life miserable for all newspaper
workers, took control of the
typewriter and succeeded in
messing things up in regular
fashion.
We exceedingly regret the
work of the imp and desire to
make due apologies to Mrs.
Pound for any annoyance that
may have been caused her.
