Ed Forester, pioneer of pioneers,
paid a visit to the Press office this
morning to state that just % years
ago today he arrived in Imperial
Valley, and has been n continuous
resident here since that time.
Ed filed on 100 acres of land four
miles west of this city, and has seen
it developed from an arid section of
desert to one of the most prosper
Gus farms in the valley. Hard
work did it, said Ed. "Some
folks always try to see if they can
not operate a ranch with as little
work as possible. I've tried to see
how hard | could work, and it
pays. y
In addition to cultivating his
farm, Ed has found time to rear a
large family, all of his children now
being of mature years. Two years
after his arrival here, he hauled in
sufficient quantity of lumber TO
build his house and the family has
resided in it ever since.
On the day of his arrival here, Ed
declares, the government thermom-
eter at Imperial, which was hung un-
der a double roof, registered l20 de-
grces, and maintained that point
for 10 days straight.

Faint sos Tells
of Burning Ship

'CORDOVA, Alaska, June IL
Radio stations throughout Alaska
today were instructed to listen for
repetition of distress signals from a
ship on fire, which were picked up
late yesterday by both the naval
radio operators at Dutch llarbor and
st. Paul's island.
These two stations simultaneously
heard the call:
"Fire! Fire! sos! sos! Position
50 50. -
The signal was first heard at $40
p. m.
Interference from Alaskan can
nerv stations and particularly the
radio at Naknet prevented opera
tors from picking up additional
calls from the distressed vessel.
The operators said the sos was
broadcast on 75G meter wave
length and that they recognized it
as coming from a Japanese vessel.
The signals were very weak, being

tee today when W. Fl. Folwell,

1he fact that the IS receipts were
signed by Folwell's rubber stamp
signature caused members of the
the committee to closely question
him as to why such large sums of
money were rcceipted for by such
a process.
Folwell said he was in Europe
much of the time and that rubber
stamps of his signatures were affix-
ed to receipts by Frank j. German
and Chester w. Hill, attaches of the
headquarters.
Look at them and see if they
were not all made out at the same

The resignation, unless recOnsid-

hopes of attaining world wide uni
versatility and marks the beginning
of Il new effort to make it largely
European. One of the results prob
ably will be a diplomatic effort to
assure Spain a permanent council
seat, since Spain S withdrawal,
which is now threatened, would pre-
vent even European universality.
Brazil resigned from the League
of Nations today as result of the
dispute over the permanent league
council memberships which began
last March, when Germany appli-
cation for membership first came
before the council.
Bra2il's notification of withdraw
al was communicated direct from
Foreign Minister Pacheco of Brazil
to Sir Eric Drummond, secretary
general of the league. Two years
notice of withdrawal is required by
the league covenant, SO that Brazil s
final departure from Geneva would
take place in 1923.
