Orders Dismissal
OF Civil Action

An order for dismissal Of the
civil action brought by Helen NJ.
Gardner against Willard r. Gard
ror was filed at the county clerk g
office yesterday by M. W. Conkling,
attorney for the plaintiff.
In the original complaint the
plaintiff charged that through her
ignorance in legal matters she had
been induced to give the defendant
quit claim to a considerable
amount of community property and
agreed not to interter with a di-
torcc action to be brought against
her upon his agreement to pay both
her and her daughter monthly sums
over a period of years.
She alleges that at the time she
was i'll and forced to leave the coun-
ty and that upon informing her
husband of the condition he had
told her it would be desertion and
that he would divorce her. This act
ion, he contended, resulted in in
fiuencing her to enter the alleged
agreement.
The order for dismissal intimates
that the matter has been settled
amieably out of court.

Money for hay, the speaker main
tanned, stays in the valley and
makes for prosperity. Movements
now on foot toward better system
of hay grading and the use of i'm
proved balers, should, in Mr.. Rob

in the fore front of the hay produc-
ing counties of the state.
Col Charles l.. Phillips represent.

remember the great needs of the
stricken peoples in the West Indian

asked for voluntary subscriptions to

In observation of farmers day
Chairman w. f. Hancock passed out
questionaircs regarding Imperial
valleys crops to be answered by the
Kiwanis members. Some of the an
swers were SO ridiculous that Col
Zinn was obliged to auction them
eff to their perpetrators to prevent
their being read. Some of the
sheets brought as high as 70 cents.
In honor of the visiting agrieul

CITY TO OBSERVE
FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK IN CLEANUP

II will soon be time for the ma
tional observance of Fire Prevention
week and FL Centrans will be called
upon to do their part in preventa-
tive measures against the ravages
of the fire menace. Chief Tom
Reams of the fire department will
head n committee to meet during
the coming week for the purpose
of planning prevention and
cleanup campaign in FL Centre.
The city will join the national
movement which is scheduled for
the week of October 9.
That fire-preyention week has
done much to reduce the property
loss of the nation is evidenced in
figures recently published in the
International Fire Chief. This table
shows that in 1927 the fire loss for
me country was $47S,245, ,620. This
is Il reduction of $l00,000,000 from
the total figures for 1926.
FL Centre has also been benefited
hy these annual clean-ups, Chief
Reams pointed out. Approximate
figures show that in 1926 the fire
loss here was near the $4,000 mark.
In 1927 the figure was cut to $35,-
600 and thus far this year it has
been held to approximately $4,000.
The fire department will have
personal supervision of check of
all residences and business build
ings to weed out fire traps. Trash
accumulated in store rooms and
vacant lots always presents a haz-
ard and for this reason the general
cleanup of the city will be instl-
gated.
IF everyone does his share it
will mean just a little effort for
all of us declared Chief Reams.
"It seems such small thing to
ask when the risk of fire is SO
great and such dangerous menace,
not only to property but to lives as
we'll. y

Half-Mile Record Held
bv Six Different Men

In view of Lloyd Hahn's record it
Is interesting to note that only five
men before him have held the acknowl-
edged worlds half-mile record since
1885.
The great Lon Meyers set worlds
mark of l minute 552s seconds in the
half in 1885 and that stood for just
ten years. On September q, 1895, in
a dual meet between the New York A.
c. and Oxford and Cambridge in New
York, Charles ii. Fitzpatrick, Union
College star, covered the distance in
/ minute 532S seconds.
1t was almost fourteen years later,
September 10, 1909, that Emile Lung
hi, an Italian runner touring America,
cut the record to / minute 524S sec
onds at Montreal. Then, at the 1912
Olympics, came Ted Meredith's great
1 minute 521A seconds dash and four
years later his l minute 5215 seconds
performance in a Pennsylvania-Cor-
nell dual meet. Ten years and two
months afterward, in London, DR..
Otto Peltzer, on July 8, 1926, set the
present outdoor figure 1 minute 5135
seconds. Now comes Hahn to join the
elect.
