DECISION BY u. S. COURT
RENDERED.

The United States supreme court
has rendered a decision holding as
constitutional the guarantee giving
negroes the right to vote.
The decision applies to primaries
swell as to general elections. II
orerthrows the Texas state law ex-
Guiding negroes from taking part
in the Democratic primaries.
Federal control over state pri-
maries for the selection of party
candidates, frequently discussed in
! Congress, recently receiving much
attention in connection with recent
senatorial elections in Illinois and
Pennsylvania, was the question be-
fore the supreme court in an ap-
peal by l.. A. Nixon.
! The federal district court for
/ western Texas, where Nixon sought
$4,000 damages for alleged depriva-
lion of rights under the federal
and Texas constitutions, dismissed
the suit, holding that no question
within it's jurisdiction was present
ed. The supreme court was urged,
| Lecause of the Importance of the
controversy, to dispose Of the ap-
zeal on it's merits, and announce in
unqualified terms the exact rela-
tionship of primaries to ''e1ec-
tons"
| AS analysed by the court, during
oral argument, the controversy was
narrowed in all of it's constitutional
aspects to the question whether
party primaries are elections. The
constitutional guarantees against
discriminating on accout of race,
: color or previous condition of SER
yitude has been annulled, and his
rights as citizen of the United
! States to vote, had been abridged,
! Nixon contended by the law of
| 7 exas under which negroes are pro-
hibited from voting in Democratic
| primaries.
The fifteenth amendment to the
federal Constitution was restricted,
he asserted to the right to vote.
| Democratic primaries in Texas were
conducted, he asserted, for the selec-
| ton of candidates by voting. De-
claring that he had long been a
Democrat, and had compiled with
all laws regulating the qualification
Of voters in the state, including the
payment of poll taxes, he denied
that the executive committee of his
party's organization in Texas by a
flat could lawfully prohibit him and
other negroes affiliated with the
Dtmocratic party from voting in
party primaries, or that the state

During January 40 unprofitab.e
cows were culled out by members of
the Cow Testing Association and
three members purchased purebred
bulls.
Following is a list Of dairymen
with cows which made 60 lbs. or
more of butterfat during January:

Imperial Valley press., 1927-02-11

During January, only eight of the
SO herds tested in the Imperial
County Cow Testing Association
had herd average Of over 80 lbs.
of butterfat per COW. 1t is inter
esting to see that six of these eight
dairymen have been testing more
than ono year and all but Two fed
something besides alfalfa pasture.
This emphasizes once more the fact
that a membership in the Cow Test
ing association and good feeding
methods are both very necessary If
high production is to be maintained.
Fifty-three herds containing 1851
cows were tested during January.
The average production of these
cows was 27S lbs. of butterfat per
COW.
The highest producing COW for the
month is owned by William Boerlin
of Holtville. She made 92.8 lbs. of
butterfat.
The five highest producing cows
in one herd for the month were
owned by II. G. Farnsworth of Ell
Centre. His five cows made 295.9
lbs. of butterfat for the month or
an average of 59.2 lbs. of butterfat
each. II. T. White of Holtville was
second in this class. His five high
cows made 272.0 lbs. butterfat for
the month.
One hundred ninety-three cows in
the association made 40 lbs. or more
of butterfat for the month. The

TRAMP SHOWS
GRIM HUMOR in
DEATH PLACARDS
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Feb.
1.-THE ironic gesture of desert
wanderer, who found the invasion
of the lonely wastelands by the
tourists and the flivver distasteful,
was inscribed upon a tree here to-
day, from which Jacques Cartiere
hanged himself.
That Cartiere contemplated his
leap into eternity with a sardonic
sense of humor, was evidenced by
the sign found nailed to the tree
from which Cartiere's body was
found dangling yesterday near Oro
Grande, on the Mojave desert.
The sign read: "Notice to camp

ONE EYE ON THE JOB

That a wage-earner, whether la
borer or industrial executive, should
seek through any legitimate means
to better his condition is entirely
commendable. But too many seek for
such betterment in distant fields.
when the real opportunity lies in the
present job.
Every employer has to deal with
the fellow who no sooner gets locat-
ed in position than he begins to
look for something better elsewhere.
He has one eye on his present Job
and the other on new one.
In a majority of cases, particularly
if one is working for a sound and
reputable concern, an employee would
be far better off to concentrate his
thoughts and energies on the work he
is doing, instead of watching the
help wanted" advertisements.
No intelligent employer wants to
lose a man who shows efficiency in
his work and loyalty to his concern.
The rewards of such efficiency and
loyalty will generally be in keeping
with the employees merit.
But when an employer knows that
an employee is continually looking
for another position, it is taken as
evidence that only half-hearted SER
vice is being rendered, and the en-
ployer begins to look for someone to
take his place. The fellow who keeps
both eyes on his job usually profits
most in the long run.

Radio Listens in on Dynamite Blast

A dynamite explosion is rather
dangerous thing to get too close to but
station KOA of Denver recently gave
its listeners a thrilling "ear-full"
when it transmitted a heavy blast
which took place under a mountain.
This explosion occurred in the famous
Moffat Tunnel which is being con-
structed through mountain peak of
the Great Continental Divide, and 1t
marked the completion of great his
torical and engineering achievement.
The odd part of this program is
that it took place 5000 feet below the
top of James Peak in the center of a
six mile tunnel through the peak.
And though the blast was far under
ground, it was still over 5000 feet
above sea level.
Due to the radio, the boom was
doubtless heard from the Arctic Circle
to the Equator. President Coolidge
personally closed the switch in the
White House at eight o'clock in the
evening. All had been placed in
readiness and he was notified by long
distance just when to press down the
golden key-that would mark an
epoch in American history-and close
the circuit which would make the
spark to set off the gigantic mine.
When the air had cleared after the
explosion, Governor Adams of Colo
RADIO walked through the opening from
the east side and greeted Governor
DeIn Of Utah who entered the bore
from the Utah side.
As the governors shook hands, ra-
dio listeners heard the informal greet
ings exchanged by the two executives,
discussing the roar which brought
their two states 118 miles nearer.

Although the radio industry in the
United States has experienced a
steady growth right along, the rec

considerable decrease in the exporta-

January exports, for instance, were
over $4,000 less than year ago, and
February exports over $4,000 less.
During February, Argentina purchas-
ed the largest number of receiving
sets, the purchases totalling nearly
