Burritt A. c. baseball team has pro.
tested the action Of the Falcons In
arranging series with the Kensing-
ton team. the first game Of which
will be played next Sunday after
noon at st. Mary's field.
Manager Lasky's contention 10
that the Falcons should finish the
series with the Burritts before they
contract with another team for line
OF games. The series standing be-
tween the Falcons and Burritts gives
tho Falcons two games and the Bur.
rttts one. The original agreement
calls for the best three out Of five.
should the Falcons win one more
game. the series would be over.
Manager Lasky IL going to AJAX

to call off the remainder Of the
games with the Burritt team. Both
teams are held to an agreement un-
der = forfeit Of 500 to 60 through

break this contract they have q
right to do 30.

according to Lasky. and this will
bring the Falcons and Burritts ser
les into October before another game
can be played.
The agreement between the two
teams reads that the Burritts will
not play any local team at the WASH
ington diamond while the series IL
in progress. This gives the Burritts
the opportunity OF playing outside
teams there.
1t 10 understood that Manager
Cabay refuses to agree to having the
series agreement broken. This APP
pears to be a foolish move because
of the fact that his team will be un-
able to play the Burritts in season.

WHAT CAUSED TTp

Why should boy of twelve years commit suicide?
1here is something wrong somewhere when a
youngser of that age deliberately end his life as
boy In Los Angeles did this week He left behind
stating that he able to think for himself and did,
and decided that he failure in everything.
What does a II year old boy know about failure?
Where did he get the idea Youth has its tragedies to
De sure put what tragedy can appear great at that
stage Of life one has desire to enter death?
Some will see in this boys death result of the
World War when human life held cheaply; others
on the effects of urid films, trashy books maga-
zines still others the amount of crime carried
IN papers and the SensatOnaism with which crime is
surrounded Are any of these theories correct?
Was his heredity, home environment or deficiency
in home training responsible? One mans guess is a
bout as good as anothers and amount of argument
will serve to stamp any correct.
The bare truth remains that boy of tender years
is dead by his own hand, when he should be enjoying
to the fullest the advantage and opportunities of
modern civilization
This boy, happily, was an exception There are
millions of lads the age in this country, who
full OF the JOY of life and who have not the remoest
idea of self-destruction Such this tragedy
will occur infrequently The best means of avoiding
them is to keep the youngster busy-and take inter-
est in what he does.

THE BEST CROP

What is the best crop in Imperial Valley?
ASK an average group OF citizens and you have IN
st9ntly started fine argument with the relative
its of cantaloupe lettuce grapefruit asparagus etc.
would be wrong. The best crop is babies. Ask any
father mother about 1t and they will tell you they
wouldn't swap baby for all the crops of Imperial
Valley put together and we'd hang them if they
willing to do
1t therefore follows that the greatest care must be
taken Of this CROP and the most important is to
that the babies food supply pure and wholesome:
follows that the closest supervision must be maintained
the source from which 1t comes.
That Ell Centro is doing this is proved by the
ceent record made by daires supplying Ell Centro
with milk, shown in the report Of the surprise test
printed in Tuesdays Press.
How different is this from the story carried in
Yesterdays papers telling of the death of babies
and serious illness of more in eastern city
due to impure milk. These little tots sacrificed
because of the carelessness and greed Of others 1t
may do good to prosecute the offenders but that
will not bring back those who have gone restore
the sick to health.
Darymen supplying Ell Centre are to be congratu-
lated upon their record. In the main they do every
thing in their power to cooperate with those whose
duty is enforce the sanitary laws and complaints
of infractions very few at any time. 1t is more
profitable to conduct a clean dairy than unclean
one. The daryman who takes pains to live up to the
letter of the law and whose reputation is such that
his consumers know they depend upon him for
pure milk does not have any complaint about lack OF
trade.
Mothers may grumble about the high cost of liv-
ing but when it is a question of babys milk the sky
is the limit long they sure that what they are
getting is what the baby needs.
Ell Cenros best crop is entitled to the best, and 1t
is good news to know that it is getting it.
