DISTRICT FROWNS
ON FAVORINC OF
CERTAIN PEOPLE
Watermaster Dismissed
As Outcome Rancher's
Complaint

Foremen of the Imperial Irriga-
! ton District, specifically in the
Foltville and Imperial divisions.
who have been accepting discounts
and rebates from merchants in re-
turn for favoring the merchants
with orders for supplies for labor
ers, came in for censure and con-
demnation at the meeting of the
district board Yesterday.
Following a discussion OF the
practice, the directors adopted p
resolution forbidding it in the
future. and stated that it causes
considerable trouble by leading to
dishonesty and to discrimination
among merchants.
Another incident that shows the
directors wish to operate the affairs
of the district to the best interest
of the people. came when Water
master Pauldine, of the Holtville
district, was dismissed upon the
recommendation of Director Rose.
Complaint was made to Director
Rose that Pauldine had ordered the
water shut off from the Toland
ranch near the Mexican boundary
line, during Il run. when it was
found that there was Il debit Of %
cents due the district since 1924.
The watermaster, because of the de-
! linquency. refused to furnish water
to the ranch.
Director Rose explained that the
Toland ranch had used several
thousand dollars worth of water last
year. and i'll some way, discrepan-
cv of % cents had occurred. Wheth-
er the fault was i'll billing by the
district, or the owner had made a.
mistake i'll making out his check.
was immaterial, Rose stated, in view
of the small amount involved. The
watermaster was not Justified in
lis action. the director contended,
in view of the small discrepancy,
when compared with the amount
paid the district last year, and the
fact that all current bills were paid.
Considerable damage was done the
ranch property when the water was
shut off.
The directors received a copy of
resolution passed at the last meet
ing of the Spruce Farm Center, re-
affirming the center's stand in
favor of the Swing Johnson bill,
commenting the efforts of the di-
rectors to obtain passage of the bill,
and urging that every legitimate
means be followed to get the bill
through congress.

The President was represented
by the white house spokesman as
entirely favorable to the use Of
either or both of the great airsAips
in the venture if expert opinion Of
naval acronauts regards the p!oioct
as feasible.

Men of Winslow
Would Fish
By MARGI HOPKINS.

IF YOU were to have vacation
= of a few weeks suddenly thrust
upon you, to do with as you
pleased, just where would you go
and what would you do?
That is what a number of bust
ness men in Winslow were asked
one day this week, and with the
exception of one man who said I'D
pack my buds and go where the
bright lights shine" the answer in
variably was: I'D beat it to the
hills and go fishing" Several add
ed that they might take a little
bacon along to have in case the
fish didn't bite, but if they could
just get out and taste the smoke of
a camp fire in their food and lie
under an old pine tree at night, it
wouldn't matter whether the fish
were sociable or not.
All of which reminded me of a
story on vacation that appeared in
the American magazine last sum-
mer, in which the writer said some
thing like this: when you get so
bored with living an easy life that
you want to be just as uncomfort-
able as possible, it is time to take
the old bus out and go to the
hills for a vacation"
Nevertheless, the fact that count
less thousands of people each year
choose to spend their vacations just
that way proves that there is just
a little gypsy left in all of us, and
whether we like to camp and rough
it because we are tired of being
comfortable, or-like when we have
a othache-because it seems so
good when it is over, the fact re-
mains it is good to cast all COM
forts and luxuries aside for time
and it is good, too, to come back
to them. In any event, vacation

LARGE SHARE OF
METEORS FOUND
In KANSAS SOIL

Kansas has attained a reputation
beyond this planet as landing
field for stray meteorites, but that
reputation would not stand the
test of science, declared Prof. H. H.
Nininger of Mcpherson (Kansas)
college, past president Of the Kan
sas Academy Of Science, in an adj
dress on the subject of meteorites.
The belief that Kansas, center
of the United States, exerts some
unexplainable influence on the
heavenly wanderers, is without
foundation in fact, the professor
asserts. A chart of recorded me-
teoritic falls discloses that one
fifth of the significant finds in the
world have been in Kansas, and
this has led, according to Professor
Nininger, to the popular and fall
lacious impression that that state
is peculiarly attractive to meteor
ties.
Two explanations 1le offered for
the apparent monopoly Kansas has
maintained: The character of the
soil, and the interest aroused in
the science.
"The finding of stony meteorites,"
Professor Nininger pointed out,
(which have not been seen to fall,
may be considered among the
rarest events in the annals of me-
teoritics. In only two localities on
this continent have such finds oc-
CURED in Western Kan
sas and the coastal plains of Texas.
In both of these regions the soil is
comparatively free from terrestrial
rocks. This facilitates distinguish
ing meteofitic stones from the
earth.
ut may be seen, therefore, that
the discovery of greater numbers
of stony meteorites in these two To-
calities than elsewhere may be due
rather more to the readiness with
which they may be distinguished
than that they fall there more oft
en-"
A series of witnessed falls of now
famous iron and stone meteorites
also had kept scientific circles,
the public and the press interested
in Kansas for long periods, he said,
with the result that farmers began
to believe that the heavy stones
with which they were weighing
down fences and roofs were in
fact meteorites Thus were the
discoveries multiplied.
Scientists have never satisfac-
torily accounted for the concen-
tration of iron meteorites in large
showers, Professor Ninger told his
audience. One theory is that such
showers are remnants of disinte-
grating comets which have "side-
swiped' the earth. This, he said,
explains the huge crater near
Winslow, Ariz., devoid of volcanic
rock and surrounding by traces of
iron meteoritic falls, which geolo-
gists believe marks the entrance
into the earth of a monster meteor
tie.
