even AS YOU AND /"

Human nature is mighty odd, and in no field does
its oddty shine forth any strongly than among
sports followers.
In a recent nation wide contest to decide the most
popular athlete conducted through 135 newspapers in
all parts of the country Jack Dempsey captured first
place with nearly double the number of votes given his
nearest competitor Babe" Ruth.
To the odd feature of the contest that Wal
ter Johnson the idol of millions of baseball fans,
brought up the with less than one-twentieth the
number of votes cast for Dempsey.
This appears to be overwhelming proof of Demp
sey's popularity. He has been than many
others who have followed his particular line of sport
perhaps he is better than the majority. But the fact
remains that there have been several botches on his
public and private lfeeven his ethics in the ring have
been condemned by lovers of fair play.
johnson, the other hand, is something of
Indbergh in the sport world Toiling away the best
years of his life with tail-end baseball team, he
suked as so many of his fellow-players of consider
ably less ability have done On the field of sport and
off, Johnson has been the type of man that compels
the admiration of his fellowmen. He is the sort of man
other like to hold up to their boys a model
Perhaps, mothers usually have a little stronger
feeling for the "back sheep of the family, it is nat
ural for to overlook the faults of idols.
Whatever results the figures in this particular
contest may show it is certainty that fathers
would rather have their model after Johnson than
after Dempsey-but the fathers will probably vote for
Dempsey, Just the Proof again that human
nature is very odd commodity.

OFFICIAL OF
l. A. CHAMBER
ENDORSES HEMP

In letter received yesterday by
f. X. Cormack, secretary of the
Imperial Linen Products Corpora
tion from George =. Clements, NJ.
d., manager of the agricultural De
partment of the Los Angeles Cham
Der of Commerce, the writer cncou
RACES the growth of hemp in the
valley.
He scores the allegations made
rs to its use as narcotic, declar-
ing that those behind this move
ment are making mountain out of
Il molehill. The letter follows:
"There is no question in my
mind but that the establishment OF
Il hemp industry in California, par
ticularIy Southern California,
would be of untold value not only
in direct profit to the producer but
indirectly through the Improvement
of his soil. The vast maiority of
our agricultural lands throughout
Southern California are either silt
or of granite base. which indicates
alkaline salts. Hemp thrives on
this quality of soil and since it
picks up certain amount of salts
i'll growing, naturally relieves the
soil of an embarrassing element.
CAS- far as the misuse of hemp
by the people as narcotic, l am
of the opinion they are making n
mountain out of Il molehill. 1t is
claimed that two-thirds Of the pub
lie are shortening their lives
through an excess of food. Why no,
recognize this fact as well as otn-
ers''
\ hearing relative to the advis-
ability or raising hemp for com
mercial purposes in the valley has
been scheduled to be held here ON
February 3. 1t is expected that
several state officials will be here
at that time to hear expressions of
residents as to their opinion on the
sub ipct.

A WELCOME VARIATION

Not in the interest of any individual, or any
ganizaton believe the concert to be given tonight
by the Womens Lyric club, deserves the support of
El Centre.
Too often we hear the assertion made that people
of E Centro do not have suffciency of cultural at
tractions-that field Of expression in the arts is
too limiteo
The Womens Lyric club is founded for the very
deserving purpose of eliminating degree this lack
in concert work and the may achieve in the
future will depend in great part upon the manner in
which it is greeted at its premier.
This concert gives chance to prove that we
are interested in other things besides the hum-drum
monotony of every day life and the to the
ton What do get out of it."

Resignation of Harold L. Davis, chief deputy dis

and blamed Davis for it. District Attorney keyes,
absent on vacation the time scoffed the charges
upon his yet did nothing to prove their fasy
Declarations by Ryan that he was forced to accept
pleas of lesser offenses from persons charged with
serious crimes also lightly passed by the
