WHY SLUR TUNNEY?

A writer to coast paper draws nasty parallel
between Hoover and Lindbergh hand and
Smith and Tunney the other, because the Lone
Eagle" has endorsed Mr.. Hoover while the former
up with the Democratic candidate.
This writer, who takes it upon himself to judge
his fellowman is not surprised that Tunney should
choose Smith and Lindbergh Mr.. Hoover. He insnu-
ates there is something odOriferOus attached to any
one who supports the Democratic candidate and that
Hoover's banner. Mr.. Tunney, with his pug reputa-
ton would naturally be attracted to Smith, he writes
We fail to where Hoover supporters sheep
while Smith followers goats IN spite of the fact that
we too are enlisted under the Hoover banner
And we decry any sur against Gene Tunney be-
cause of his choice True he professional boxer
Before he was a professional boxer he profess
sonal fighter for his Uncle Sam at $50 month And
it was under this same Uncle Sans guidance that he
took UP boxing. During the time he profess
sona boxer, he conducted himself all occasions in
a manner beyond reproach, much as to gain the
respect and admiration of men and women IN all
walks of life, not excepting the present Republican
candidate for the presidency
He took up boxing as to make himself ndepend-
ent financially, the same other young sell bOndS
insurance, practice of the professions. He sue
ceeded admirably and when he had reached his objec
tive he abandoned career which perhaps as dis
tasteful to him personally as is to the writer who
slurs him in the coast paper.
1t is utterances and writing such as this critics
that are un-American and narroW-rnnded. We do not
expect to get to heaven by clutchng the coatas of
Mr. Hoover nor do we think we would arrive in hell
if we hung on to Mr.. Smiths But we certainly would
be ashamed of ourselves if we were caught hanging
onto the coattails of Mr. Tunneys wouldbe defamer.
We congratulate Lndbergh upon his political Wis
dom but do not condemn Tunney for exercising his
American privilege of voting for whom he peases
do think it detracts one bit from his character.

THE YANKEES WIN AGAIN

Well, that's over with, that being the world
series.
Even the most partisan rooter for the Cardinals
must take off his hat to the New York Yankees as
being of the greatest not the greatest team that
ever participated in the baseball classic.
They broke more records by winning yesterday
from st. Louis, than the mathematcians have been
able to figure out yet.
Heavy favorites before the series opened the
Cardinals failed to show anything like the class that
is necessary to win in a short series.
Yet the brilliant victory of the Yankees will make
many baseball followers throughout the country ask
if it is good thing for baseball to have such team
winning the honors year after year with few exceptions
The so-called "murderers row. in the Yankee lineup
Ruth Gehrig and Meusel-is enough to carry g
mediocre pitcher through to victory When combined
with the sort of pitching Hoyt, Ppgras and Zachary
turned in, the opposition seems infantile.
Unless "murderers row. begins to falter or is
broken up by trades the Yankees look good enough to
keep the top of their league for several years
Big league baseball is not much sporting affair
it is big business and it is not good business to have
such top-heavy aggregation.
The series stamped Babe" Ruth wonderful
al-round player we'll as terrific batter With him
going full-speed ahead he acquires enough momentum
to carry the rest of the team along.
Now back to politics.

California Maps
For Use At Yuma

Secretary Hays, of the chamber Of

company with f. S. Wing, en-
ginecr of the Public Utilities de
Partment of the California Farm
Bureau Federation. Wing is here to
investigate power plants which have
their supply of water from irriga-
tion canals, and Hays desires that
he visit the Yuma water plant, which
is a model of its kind and up to the
minute in equipment and efficiency.
The municipal plunge at Yuma was
visited. 1t is well built, well man
aged affair, and its design could
well be copied by the city of FL
Centre, Hays says. Water for the
Yuma plunge is supplied by a we'll
The local men called at the cham
Der OF commerce, and were accorded
a cordial welcome by w. II. Bueh-
man, secretary, and Miss Foster, as
sistant. The Yuma chamber has been
of much help to Imperial Valley,
and its staff must hourly give out
information about this region and
all California. Buehman and Miss
Foster are staunch friends of FL
Centro and this valley, and never
neglect an opportunity of praising
this region. "What S the use of let

Buehman expressed a willingness
on the part of Yuma to assist in

Der plan to go to the Arizona city
very soon to lay the matter formally
before the chamber, and request the
passage by that body of resolutions
favoring building of the short La
guna road.
Upon his return to this city, Hays
arranged for a supply of road maps
of Southern California to be sent
to the Yuma chamber, and Bueh-
man indicated his willingness to
give them proper distribution a
the counter in Yuma. He has many
calls daily for such maps, he Stated,

proud Alligator, for I want to tell
YOU that Gator was at first proud
though later he was made to look
very silly.
Are your teeth strong enough to
lite me-" asked Uncle Wiggily.
though well lie knew the Gator 5
teeth were quite strong enough for
that. But the Gator, being proud,
as ! have told you, beloved loudly
and said:

the world.
"Oh, have you?" asked Uncle
Wiggily, as he picked W a piece of
bark from the ground. Well, can
YOU bite this in two pieces
"Of course. answered the
Gator, sneering like, and with one
crunch of his jaws he bit the bark
IN two.
$50 far SO good said Uncle
Wiggily with a smile under his pink,
tw:nkling nose. . But can you bite
this?'
The rabbit gentleman now picked
up a stick and held it out.
"Of course | can bite that,
growied the Alligator switching his
double-jointed tail around as thouga
he wanted to knock poor Cncla
Wiggily's legs from under him.

With that the Alligator snapped
the thick stick in two parts as
easily as YOU can bite stick Of
candy.
My, Ny, You certainly have
strong teeth,'' said the rabbit
gentleman. pretending to be sur
priscd, though well he knew the
Gator could bite the stick. But
YOU aren't the only one who has
