Youngsters Go
On Wild Party

Two Mexican youngsters broke
into the Fred R. Bright packing
shed yesterday afternoon and for Il
time they created plenty of excite
ment. Calling a tire dealer the
youths entered an order for a num-
Der Of tires to be delivered at the
shed and then attempted to put in
a still alarm to bring out the fire
companies.
About the time the youths decided
they needed Il few fire trucks on
hand, operators at the telephone Of
flee began to get suspicious and the
chief operator was summoned. She
took over the headpieces and began
to make few inquiries. Her
queries were answered with string
of insults from the transmitter.
Police were notified and swooped
down on the shed. There they found
A. Lopez, l3, and r. Pacho, -, of
the east side. just why they broke
in was not learned but their ex-
ploits with the telephone proved
their undoing.
The boys were taken to the coun-
ty jail and turned over to Sheriff

There will be other old time

been sent out to get together good
representation of the old lenghorn

but through the able assistance of
Uncle Sam, this type will be per-
petuated as a relic of the early COW

ments are also under way to have
horseshoe pitching events and other
old fashioned specialties of this

vive interest in amusements of this
kind but should also prove very en-
tcrtaining
Plans are also under way to give

ago when there WASH much else
but live stock in the southwest ter
ritory, and live stock has taken n
very important place in settling up

Stanley Thinks
This Old World
A Decent Place

\ bright eyed little baby boy

Eunice Brown, deputy probation Of

face wreathed in smiles.
"Gee. | like it here was what
lie would have said had he been old
enough Il manage it but being only
five months old he had to gurgle il
out and then give it the proper eX-
preston with a smile that would win
over any heart.
lie is little Stanley Edwards,
aged about five months who came t.
the valley about three months ago.
Perhaps at some future date a
parent will appear TO make known
Stanley : exact age and tell the
story of Stanley : first two months
Of eXistance. For Stanley Us the
little tike who was found wrapped
in blankets and parked in the back
seat of ain automobile at lloltvill2
about three months ago.
Investigation failed to reveal any
trace as to the identity of his
parentage. The clothing and blankets
in which he was found indicated
that his parents are apparently OF
the middle class. Perhaps Stanley
would have been Just one too many
to pull on the family purse strings.
But be that as it may, Stanley is
doi'-y no worrying today. He is de-
voting his entire time to putting
on weight and to enjoying life in

weight.
Stanley is doing something else.
He is cndearing himself to the
hearts of Mr.. and Mrs j. VI. Ed
wards of Meloland district, who
hope some day to make him their
adopted son. At present he is in their
care and under supervision of the
probation office.
And Stanley has nothing to worry
about. He is a most perfect little

hands of Mr.. and Mrs Edwards he
will lose nothing in parental love

KIWANIS CLUB
HEARS REPORT
ON CONVENTION

An address by President r. 3.
/ Whitclaw marked the luncheon
meeting of the Kiwanis Club held
at the Barbara Worth hotel at noon
yesterday. The president gave an
interesting report on his trip to the
recent national convention held in
Seattle, Wash.
Elmo Loynd was chairman of the
day and called the meeting to order.
He Immediately called upon Presi-
dent Whitelaw for his report.
Whitelaw said he had picked up
numerous ideas and suggestions for
the bCttcrmcnt of civic organiza-
tions such as the Kiwanis club dur
ing his visit in Seattle and that he
hoped with the assistance of mem
bcrs to practice many of them dur
ing the ensuing year.
He told Of the numerous demon
strations and addresses given at
the meeting.
The Kiwanis clubs of this
country have gained 81 new clubs
and total Of l,722 new members
during the last year, he said. Its
membership has increased from
o.S49 to l02,57l during that period
and there are now ,73l clubs in the
United States.
While this increase in mem
bership is perhaps not as great as
in previous years, the club has
shown a steady and healthy growth
and the general organization is in
excellent condition. Report shows
that the clubs participated in $4,000
worth while activities during tn
year.
Throughout the address the prcsi-
dent puuctuatcd his talk with eX-
cerpts from speeches made by the
various delegates at the convention
in which the worthwhile ideals of
kiwanis were brought out. He told
| of its rapidly increasing power
throughout the country through its
everyeinereasing membership and its
enterprise.
The address was wen received and
loudly applauded.
Imperial Valley press., 1928-07-21

This is vacation time and the time
for little recess from shop
talk so we want to speak about
vacationing and visiting as a side
line. Many of the coast people are
visiting the fresh water lakes, the
great canyons and scenery of the
great interior while the folks from
the great interior are coming down
to the ocean for a change. In this
way we find out what is being of
fered by the west and southwest,
not only in scenery and pleasures
but with a chance also of getting
some idea of the economic setup.
Incidentally this plan helps to
distribute our money but more than
that, it enables us to get acquainted
and it is the friendly thing to do.
Friendship begets confidence and
confidence is the keystone of all
business. The folks from the coun-
try are inclined to shy from the
people of the city, largely due to
the difference in environment and
mannerisms but, after all, there is
no difference between the folks
and the people Neither is there
any difference between the good
fiddler and the violinist. 1t all
comes out Of the same box, yet the
distinction is made between the
country and the city.
Along this line, as an important
feature of the Christmas Live Stock
Week show to be held at Los An
geles, December 3rd to Sth, am
recommending to those in charge of
the affair that they hold fiddlcrs
convention to be made up of men
and women who have never played
for money in an orchestra or any
other musical organization, the idea
+ being to make it an amateur affair
Out OF those who come, bands may
be formed to play in the afternoons
during the week and wind up with
an elimination contest offering a
cash prize for the best fiddler, the
second best fiddler and the third
best fiddler.
