PLANS FOR new
EXPERIM ENTAIL
STATION MADE

Plans for the extension of agri-
cultural experimental work in I'M
perial Valley, were discussed last
night at meeting in the Planters
hotel, Brawley, when approximately
25 citizens from various parts of
she valley met with DIR. II. J. Web
Der of the citrus experiment station
1T Riverside.
Acting on Dir. Webbcr's suggcs-
ion. it was decided to devote three
lcrcS of land at the county farm to
experimental work, the money nee
,ssarv for this purpose to be raised
by subscription throughout the val
ley.
1t is believed that once the work
is started and conducted in con-
junction with the authorities at the
Riverside station, funds to aid in
the work can be obtained from the
state university.
Sam Robinson, president of the
imperial County Farm Bureau, was
designated to appoint n committee
of five to obtain the necessary
funds and another committee of
.hree to supervise the work.
DR.. Webber EXPRESSED the opinion
hat much valuable work can be de-
-eloped at the station. and assured
the meeting of the fullest cOopera-
ioi of himself and staff.

SUED FOR SIX YEARS
 FOR FEW CENTS TAX

PARIS, Aug, 13. (P)-An S3- cen- time lawsuit has been going on near ly six years in France and the end is not vet in sight. This sum is about 3-4 cents.
 Millions Of francs have been spent, courts have been occupied for weeks at a time and the best lawyers in the world have argued on both sides.
 Marcel Boyer, a well-knOwn chan sannier," conducting a sort of liter ary cabaret in the Latn Quater, start ed the Judicial row by refusing. to pav a disputed extra tax on two tick cts he gave to an old war comrade. Boyer. seeing the soldier at his box office. promptly passed him in, hand ing the four francs to the cashier as the government tax on reduced price tickets. The government in- spector demanded 83 centimes more
 because. he said, Boyer did not go through the formality of buying the low priced tickets from the box of lfice.
 Decisions of all sorts have been handed down, some courts holding one way and some another but al- ways leaving unsettled some tech nality that caused new trials. These lrehearings then went to other juris- dictions. The case has travelled pretty we'll over central France since it started, November 27,1921.
