fIREMEN QUENCH
GLOWING HEATER
AT PRESS PLANT

Members of the FL Ccnt7o fire
department saved the plant of the
Imperial Valley Press from destruc-
ton last night, according TO their
version of the affair, but the fore
man of the sho passerts that all the
flremen did was to put out his fire
so that the printers had a cold room
to work in early this morning.
"A passcrby noted a suspicious
glow in the press room late last
night and notified the fire depart
ment Chief Ferguson and several
other members Of the department,
who were holding meeting attire
headquarters next door came over
and found that the light was caused
by q fire III the stove which was
being famed by a breeze coming in
through the back door.
The firemen formed bucket
brigade by using the drinking cups
OF the various employees hanging
on the wall in spite of the warning
are being cleaned, they poured two
thirds of the clty's available supply
into the Press stove. However the
water froze during the night and the
Press had nice cake of ice free
gratis this morning.
Before leaving the fircmen pasted
up several sarcastic notices in the
editorial room regarding the fool
ishncss of leaving u fire in the stove
overnight. This is to serve notice
on Chief Ferguson and his gang that
they were out of order, as the no
tices should have been posted in the
press room. The editorial staff is
as innocent as newborn babes. The
editorial staff would also like u de
tail of firemen to come over and
wash our window.
