"LEST WE FORGET"

Once the memory of that glad day in November
191S when the dogs of leashed after four
years of carnage is recalled to minds by Armistce
Day.
1t only yesterday that the entire civilized
world burst forth in joyous uproar and yet nine
years have passed
short time? For most of us, yes. For Others
eternity.
Not for those who sleep in the soil of France or in
the bosom of their beloved country. For them the
is it is for They gave all that they pos
siby could and gave it gladly. How tenderly
call them, young and full of life they marched
away when them last; and symbozed
only by white crosses and green graves. They at
rest, immortal heroes whose memory shall die
Could they speak to today, what would their
message be?
Not for themselves; not for those who grieve for
then but for those who have not yet heard the joyous
words, "The War Is Ended For the thousands of
their comrades to whom the is still terrible real
iity The crippled, manned and diseased who have
been carrying on silent, brave battle through nine
long, weary years.
You do not forget us, do not forget comrades
who are still with you" The heroic dead in Flanders
send us this message today. "There is nothing you

thought. They are everywhere about you. Some in
hospitals and others who should be there, but strug
gle along as they struggled along in the Argonne.
Help them, you cannot help u.s.
The government takes of them you say The
government does and might good care. But how much
these victims of wars cruelty appreciate word from

Destruction OF
u. S. Industry
Is Pred dict e d

LONDON, Nov. >1l.-American
industrialists are preparing thc'T
own destruction through their fin
ancial strangulation of agriculture,
Sir Oswold Stoll, prominent British
financier declared in an interview
Just after his return from n study
of conditions in the United States,
"The economic balance between
agriculture and industry in America
il going to pieces,' he said. "Ag-
riculture is ccasing to be able to
luy from industry what it desires.
AS an inevitable consequence agri-
culture will soon cease to be able
to supply industry with what indus
try needs.
"The agriculturist needs long
term credits at low rates of interest
as badly as the industrialist needs
his short term credits. But the fin
ancial system in the United States
stands over agriculture, eXacting
heavy tolls for its mortgages and
loans of sums frequently far in eX-
cess of the value of the agricultural
holdings.
"The finaneier,' he continued,
"believes that natural processes
must conform to his financial wish
es. In thus handicapping agricul-
ture he is in reality strangling in
dustry at its roots and preparing an
industrial collapse in which the fin
ancial wreckage will be appaling.' -

About
Snakes Costly

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 11.-For
the edification of those innocent
snake fight fans who prove Barnum
was right, Cary Jones, known in cir
Gus circles as the man who knows
most about snakes, begs to say:
Most of the stories about fierce
snake fights are pure bunk.
After years watching snakes, I
can truthfully say they like to live
in perfect harmony; this regardless
of their species.
"There are only two kinds of can
nibal snakes in America, the king
snake and blue gopher and the only
time they will try to eat others is
when they are starved.'
Jones is known as "Snake Oid'
among the men who know snakes.
He has watched the writhing crea-
lures summer and winter and knows
when they are sick or well by the
color of their eyes.
"a snake fight,' Jones explain
ed, sis either promotion stunt or
bald joke. | have handled snakes
35 years and know
Ignorance about snakes costs the
country about $220,000,000 a year,
Jones estimates. Farmers who kill
on-poisonous kinds are losing their
best friends.
"These snakes live on rodents
and other pests that destroy crops.
They should be protected by law"
he said.
'There are for that matter only
five kinds of poisonous snakes in
this country. They are the, rattler,
viper, adder, copperhead and cotton
mouth. They have no redeeming
traits.
at is easy to tell the poisonous
from the poisonous. The dan
gerous kind has an unlimited mum
Der of scales on his head ard two
sets of nostrils.'

prison of 135 years each, following
their conviction last night for em
hezzlement in connection with the

before Superior Judge Robert Lam
bert for sentence on 50 counts of
cmbezzlement and one of falsifying
a bank statement. Meanwhile they
are at liberty under $4,000 bail
each.
The trial was one Of the most dra-
matte in the history of the south.
The prosecutor, District Attorney
jess Hession, was a life long friend
Of the two brothers and at one time
had served as their attorney in pri-
vate matters. He asked for convic-
tion telling the jury that the Wat
tersons by their acts had defrauded
hundreds Of their neighbors.
For many years the Wattersons
have been the financial and indus
trial leaders of the valley and were
champions of Inyo county in the
water war; between the Los Al
geles water board and residents of
the valley. Efforts to introduce the
water problem into the trial failed,
Judge Lambert ruling that testi-
mony of such a nature was inadmis-
sable.

JOIN
AT BRAWLEY TO
OBSERVE DAY

Veterans of the World War re-
called days of yore as they stepped
to the tune of march in Brawley this
morning. A parade, made up for
the greater part of those who repre-
sented Imperial Valley in the big
battle overseas, opened the Armis-
tice day celebration, marking the
ninth anniversary of the restoration
of peace on the European battle
fields.
The legionnaires were augmented
in the procession by various other
organizations of war veterans, civic
and fraternal organizations, Boy
Scouts and Girl Reserves.
While spirit of carnival reigned
over the early part of the program
as hundreds of automobiles, stages
and trains poured a colorful crowd
into Brawley, solemnity marked the
memorial services held at the Plaza
shortly after II o'clock. The valley
paid full homage to those who died
on the battlefields of Europe and to
those who in earlier years gave their
lives that this country might be for
ever free and independent
Rev. H. X. Holtzinger of Brawley
delivered the principal address at
the memorial service. He spoke
briefly but his words were well de-
livered and carried to the hearts of
his listeners the meaning of this
great day. His words carried great
joy and thankfulness for the end of
the war and sorrow for those whose
blood had been shed.
Plenty of Entertainment
The services at the Plaza marked
the end of the morning program and
a carnival spirit prevailed as the
hundreds that filled the town sought
their midday meals. Restaurants
and cafes We're crowded and hun
dreds spread picnic luncheons on
the park benches and lawns. They
were preparing for afternoon s pro-
gram of entertainment.
Two football games were schedul-
ed to mark the program, the first
being called at 1880 o clock with the
Junior College team of FL Centre
scheduled to meet team composed
of graduates of the Brawlev high
school. The second game was
league contest in which Brawley
met Calexico in the high school cir

however, will be carried out tonight
when a sham battle in which a re-
production of Argonne will be car
ried out in Longfellow Park. The
battle is being staged under the SUI
pervision of the Brawley American

BILL PROMISED
TO CURB POWER
OF LOBBYISTS
Would Ban Privilege of
Floor to Former Mem
bers of Congress.
By PAUL R. MALLON
UNITED. Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Charg-
es that rich lobby is working here
for repeal of the federal estate tax
have revived congressional animos-
ity toward the freedom enjoyed by
lobbyists and brought promises that
a bill will be introduced in the COM
ing congress to curb the activities
of paid legislative agents.
The form of the bills is undeter
mined but some, it is indicated, will
be framed around the Wisconsin
statute requiring registration of all
lobbyists, with a publ record of
heir salaries and interests.
The movement is sponsored BY tn
L.orah-Norris independent group II
the senate and their friends N tne
house.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho,
is particularly aroused over the free
dom given former members of the
senate and house to be present on
the floor during discussion of meas
ures in which they interested for
personal profit. Many of the known
lobbyists in Washington are former
members of, congress.
Repeatedly they are seen in the
floor of both houses, under the cour-
tesy rule permitting ex-senators and
representative the freedom of legis-
lative chambers barred to others.
Definition Uncertain
If they don t have the decency
to remain off the floor when they
are employed by outside interests
there should be law to keep them
OUT" Borah said today.
One difficulty in dealing with the
situation by legislation, however,
lies in the lack of an exact defini-
tion of what lobbyist is. 1t is
rot sought to place hardships on
those having constitutional rights to
appear in behalf of legislation.
The house ways and means commit
tee in tax hearings just closed,
heard Representative Rainey, Demo
crat, Illinois, question witnesses con-
oerning the alleged state tax repeal
lobby but little if any definite evil
dence was obtained.
