TWO WEEKS ALCFT

Much can happen in two weeks. Il is time enough
to destroy nation destroy the years savings on
short vacation
Red Jackson and Forrest OBr:ne, the crew of the
St Louis Robin, have used the time. plant despair
in the hearts of any other arnen seeking endurance
record.
For two solid weeks the pair have been off the
earth above ST. Louis smashing all previous air refue
ing records to pieces What started out "just
another of those things has the entire world watch
ing with interest by this time.
Endurance flights have become so common, and
new records set often that interest in them has
somewhat dwndled, but the performance of these two
flyers must be considered as remarkable indeed.
Their latest reports show that their engine is unc
toning as efficiently it did the first day out In
fact it is better for the work has done The flyers
declare that they good for another week if the
motor holds out, and none will say that they
do it after what they have done already.
While we marvel at the performance of the ma

OBrine and Jackson have engines" that have been
pounding away without stop for years. When their
engines stop they stop too, as do all Of The
nearest thing to perpetual motion is the human heart
and perpetual for that means only hundred years
at the most and few attaining that age.
AS long the hearts of O'Brne and Jackson and
the motor of their plane hold out, they can remain
aloft piling the hours and the money which is be-
ing showeTed them.

And then, marching along in his
heavy shoes, came a policeman. 1t
was the first time he had been out
that way in "A long, long month. He

sudden there was a rustling of
leaves, a breaking of the vine, the
sound of heavy fall and then some
grunts. The policeman being too
heavy for the vine had pulled it
loose and tumbled down. He lay on
the ground for some time. Then he
picked himself up and said: "Let
the light stay out" and away he
marched. There was still enough
vine for Uncle Wiggily 20 climb

junction issued by Judge, Newton d. Baker, former
secretary Of war, declared:

That sentence is worth remembering. Too many
judges in this country to think that all they do
is sacrosanc and above criticism. IT is pood to have
eminent lawyer like Mr.. Baker remind US that
Judge is only public servant, subject criticism the

WE'LL MERITED THANKS

In officially expressing the countys thanks to
cantaoupe and watermelon growers for assistance in
conducting inspection during the season just closed
the supervisors of Imperial county have made grace
ful gesture which is highly merited.
Each season Imperial Valley presents the unique
spectacle of having melon growers dig down in their
own pockets to enable the county inspect their pro-
duce. to see that it complies with the state law govern
ing Standardization Of fruits and vegetables.
In a way it is similar to a private individual hir-
ing policeman to prevent the individual violating
the law.
There is nothing to compel the growers to do this
except their own desire to take every means to see
that only the best of melons shipped from Imperial
Valley realizing they do that this is the best adver-
tlsing their products receive.
This contributing to the inspection fund has two
fold benefit, and inspection is just as rigid as it ever
was In fact moreso. In the first place when it be-
comes necessary to turn down shipment the grower
or shipper makes kick knowing he does that this
is Just what he is paying for. Secondly the number
of attempted violations of the law have decreased
until they are almost negligible. Friction between
the produce and the inspectors has also been re-
duced to minimum
Were it not for the fact that the growers and
shippers supply funds themselves, there would be lit
tie INSPECTION compared with the size of the crop
the county finances not permitting the hiring of large
number of inspectors.
he produce men deserve not only the thanks of
the supervisors but of the people of Imperial county
UNFOLDING the law in this fashion is highly commend
able.

ALWAYS DEMAND
FOR GOOD CAR:

If every person in the United
States were to take his summer
vacation at the same time, and de-
eide to go on an autom ohie tour
simultaneously, sufficient accommo-
dation for all would be found in the
passenger ears operating throughout
the nation.
Few countries, however, are in a
position even remotely approaching
this situation in the matter of per-
sonal transportation. America being
well in the lead of all others so far
as the number of persons per motor

l.. G. Peed, general sales manager
for the De Soto Moor Corporation
division of Chrysler Motors. China,
for instance, has but one motor ve-
hicle for each 1900, the United

the country.

MODEL T FORDS|
STILL In use
Drew Patterson's Advice Us
Not to Neglect the Old
FIivver

Don't neglect your Model T
Ford car" is the advice of Drew
Patteson of the Patteson Motor Co.,
Brownsville.
millions OF these good old Fords
are still in use" he went on to
say, land they are stili giving eff
cient. reliable service at a very low
cost per mile. And they will con-
tinue to do so for some time to
come. The average useful life OF
the Model T is seven years.
My advice to every owner OF a
Model T is this. Run your q as
long as possible Don't sacrifice 1t
to buy a new a but find out how
much 1t will cost TO put 1t in good
running order. You may find that
SIS. or $50 or SIS win be the means
OF giving YOU many thousands OF
miles OF additional service.
The Ford Motor company Is
solidly behind this policy. When
the new Ford car was introduced
IL announced it would not forget
the owners Of the Model T. That
promise has been lived up to in the
way. you would expect the Ford
Motor company TO live up to it.
Today. it is still making parts
for the old car as it will continue
to do as long as there are Model
T Fords that need parts.
That may be ten years. but that
doesn't make any difference to the
Ford Motor company. 1T win never
permit any Ford car to become OBJ
solete for want OF replacement
parts.
IF Model T owners will bring
their cars to me I will be glad to
look them over and tell YOU hon
estly Just what the car needs. The
cost Of new parts is low and all the
labor Is charged at a flat hour
rate"
