OUTLINE PROGRAM
TO BOOST SOUTH
ROUTE FROM EAST

A program that will bring consid-
cradle publicity to the advantages
of the southern route into Califor-
MIA, was outlined at a meeting of the
directors of the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce last night by DR.. S. NJ.
johnson. secretary manager of the
Lee Highway association.
The local chamber of commerce is
a member of the association, which
was organized for the purpose of
rounteracting propaganda detrimen-
tai to the interests of the southern
route. in California and for improv-
ing road conditions along southern
route from the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic.
After recounting the work which
has been done in the past few years
to bring the Lee highway to the at
tention of transcontinenal tourist
traffic, DR.. Johnson outlined the
plans Of the association for the next
four years, during which time it is
expected to use a fund amounting
to 100000 for advertising the
southern route across the country.
S15O,O0o Already Pledged
Of this sum, $150,00O has already
been pledged by the businessmen of
Washington, d. c., the eastern term
inal of the Lee highway. The re-
mainder of the fund is to be made
up by communities along the route
of the highway, which are benefit
ed by having place on a trans
continental tourist route.
Imperial Valleys quota for the
four years is $4,000 or $4,000 per
year. 1t is believed that the results
achieved from the iudicious expen-
diture Of this money will more than
offset any expense involved.
DR.. Johnson urged that Imperial
Valley send Il representative to the
annual meeting Of the association
which will be held at Fredericks,
Oklahoma, April 81, % and %. He
stated there is an erroneous impress
sion concerning the southern route
into California existing in states
east of New Mexico, and asserted
that this impression can best be
dispelled by the presence of a party
of Imperial Valley residents at the
association convention.

TARIFF REVISION
URGED BY GRANGE
President Is Told Farmers
Favor G. O. P. System, But
Want More Benefits.
BY j. RUSSELL YOUNG.
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

WHITE PINE CAMP, n. Y, Au-
gust 23.-For the third time within
the past few days President Coolidge
has been told, while comforting re
gartling the agricultural situation in
this country, that the American farm
err wants a readjustment of the tariff.
Senator Capper of Kansas declared
Friday that there is going to be de-
termined effort on the part of farmers
of the West to revise tariff; Secretary
of Agriculture Jardine the following
day assured the President that there
is considerable sentiment for some
change In the tariff, and today Louis
Tabor of Ohio, master of the National
Grange, with membership of more
than 500, 900, insisted that the farmer
is demanding more direct benefits
from the tariff than he is now re-
ceiving.
Mr.. TaboI conferred with the Pres
ident at tl1E executive office at Paul
Smiths for two hours this morn
ing and afterward was a guest at
luncheon at White Pine Camp. fol-
lowing which he and the President re-
newed their discussion of the farm
question from many angles.
Holds Four Things Needed.
1t was made plain by Mr.. Tabor
that a revision of the tariff along lines
sought by the farmer is not the only
thing needed to assist him. 1t will
take far more than that one thing
needed to assist him. He pointed out
to the President that after a careful
study of the farm problem of the coun-
try the National Grange concludes
that there are four major things need
ed to help the farmers, namely:
Better organization of farm organi-
zations and societies to assist the
farmer in the distribution and disposal
Of his farm products.
Urgent need for the development of
the principle of cooperative market
ing.
A more intelligent and effective
handling of regional and seasonal sur
pluses, so as to guard against over on
under production of crops.
And making the tariff more effective
for agriculture.
The President was represented as
having been greatly interested in what
Mr.. Tabor had to say about the feeling
existing for a revision of the tariff.

Miss Barrett Violently III
When Taken From Water
This Afternoon.

DOVER, August 23.-Miss Clare
Belle Barrett of New Rochelle, n. v,
today failed in her second attempt to
swim the English Channel.
Miss Barrett abandoned her effort
to conquer the Channel at $40 o'clock

Miss Barrett, who came within two

The New Rochelle woman, who is a
