REQUEST LEGION
MEN TO OPPOSE
MEXICAN QUOTA
Chamber of Commerce
Urges Local Vets To
Fight Resolution.

President Leo Hetzel, of the cham
Der of commerce today sent tele-
gram to Judge Kendall B. Perkins,
who is in attendance at the San
Diego Legion convention, urging
that he and other FL Centre Legion
naires oppose vigorously any pro-
posed measure which seeks at this
time to endorse national legislation
tending to restrict the entrance into
this country Of Mexican agricultur-
al workers. Hetzel 8 telegram is as
follows:
''This chamber is advised that
there will be presented at your CON
vention a proposal that the Legion
endorse National legislation looking
toward the restriction and almost
practical elimination of Mexican
immigration by placing Mexico un-
der quota. Southern California ls
primarily supported by its agricui-
ture and Imperial Valley depends
upon agriculture too. Placing of
Mexico under the quota law would
prove serious economic handicap.
"FWe feel that no legislation
should be enacted until a complete
investigation of the common labor
situation in the United States has
been made as only in this way can
we determine our agricultural labor
requirements and devise fair and
EQUITABLE plan that will permit OF
gradual adjustment. We feel 1t very
necessary that before any leglsia-
ton be recommended or enacted
that the President of the United
States provide for a careful study
of the situation.
"We urge you and all other mem
bers of Legion from Imperial valley
and Southwest shall take vigorous
stand along these lines that no
recommendation issue from this con-
vention which shall cut off our only
source of common labor supply
Please see other Ell Centre members
and urge them work with us to pre-
serve this source of common TABOR
without which our agricultural and
economic growth will be fatally re-
tarded.
(Signed) or
Ell CENTRO CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. -
The chamber of commerce received
information from other cham bers IL
Southern California that such
resolution would be presented 10 the
proper committee of the American
Legion convention.
This is a matter with which I'M
perial Valley has frequently con
cerned itself, and which means
much to the economic life of the
community. The people here have
had to oppose vigorously, from time
to time, the passage of such legisla-
tion. The Box bill, which menaces
the agricultural development OF
Southern California, is one OF the
measures which it has been neces-
sary to oppose. At present two al-
rectors of Imperial Irrigation DIS
trict are in Ell Paso, in attendance
at labor conference which is con-
sidering this threatened restriction
of necessary laborers entering from
Mexico.

Benefits of School Activities
1t should be the desire of every
pupil and patron to raise the stan
dards of the school in ines communi-
ty. Just how it is to be done is ano-
Their thing. Cooperation and school
spirit can be brought about through
well directed school activities.
School activities are not an interfe-
renee to school work if they are we'll
worked out.
There has always been two sides
to every question, and there will be
as long as the world endures. We
see so often that people argue in a
circle and never know just definitely
what they are arguing. 1t takes sys-
tematic thought and knowledge to
debate intellingently, so why not
have a debating club in our schools
where pupils will get the right foun-
dation for proper debate.
Doing has always been more effect
i've than just reading. In life we do
and act. Why not make our reading
and study more life by acting and
studying the principles of self-ex-
preston. Dramatic clubs for pupils
will satisfy that need.
Our great out doors has many a
hidden pleasure for those who can
see with sympathetic eyes and hear
with ears that understand. But how
shall one know who has not heard. In
addition to a knowledge Of nature
there is always the health element
that enters into the question of the
open air. There is a need for Nature
Study. Closely allied with it might
come a physical educational club that
will teach the fundamentals of health
full living, morally and physically.
Hiking with a purpose is always be-
nefcial pastime.
We have at present some school
activities, but there must be some
thing wrong with them because they
are not well attended, and we feel
that they do not reach enough stu
| dents.
Let us talk up our school activi-
ties and build a program which will
take care of our wants and needs.

DROWNING THREAT
NOT CARRIED OUT
Girl Who Grieved Over
Wounding of Pet Dog Found
at Relatives Home.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, August IL
The whimsical threat of 8-year-old
Mary Louise Smith to drown herself
because her pet dog Billie had been
shot and seriously wounded has turned
out happily. While friends. relatives
and police we're searching streams
around Fort Worth this week for the
little girls body she was visiting dis
tant relatives in Groesbeck, near Fort
Worth, meanwhile keeping herself
posted on the condition of her pet
canine.
The girl disappeared Monday after
her dog was shot, leaving note that
she did not desire to live longer and
planned to drown herself. She went
at once to Groesbeck, however, 1t was
learned yesterday.
She stubbornly refused to return I'M
less her stepfather and mother came
for her and this they probably will do
today.
Mary Louise asked for Billie when
she talked to her mother yesterday. She
said she had kept well posted on his
condition during the week through the
newspapers.
j. A. Jones of Groesbeck, a friend and
distant relative of the girl, said he had
read nothing of the childs disappear
ance until just before he notified her
mother that she was at his house. The
child had visited in his home before and
Jones took her sudden arrival by train
Monday as nothing unusual.
Mary Louise had saved up some money
of her own and took some more from
her mothers purse to make the trip
Monday, she said.

Fl. WORTH CHURCH
HAS THIRD BLAZE
Noted Fundamentalist Pastor, DR..
Norris, Absent When Educa-
tional Building Burns.

By the Associated Press.
FORT WORTH, Tex, August IL
Fire yesterday again swept through
properties of the First Baptist Church
here, of which DR.. j. Frank Norris,
noted fundamentals, is pastor, de-
Stroying its educational building.
The blaze was caused by spark
from an acetylene torch with which
workmen were cutting away steel Orders
from the ruins of the church's audi
torium destroyed by fire last January.
Several times before firemen had been
called to extinguish flames in the build
ing from the same cause.
In 1912. the First Baptist Church
was destroyed by fire. DR.. Norris was
indicted and tried on charges of arson
in connection with the blaze, but, after
q bitter court trial, he was acquitted.
The structure was rebuilt, but was
RACED again by flames the first of this
year, while DR.. Norris was visiting in
Austin, Tex After the embers had
cooled city investigators said they found
several cans believed to have contained
gasoline. The origin of the fire, how
ever, never was decided. The educa-
tional building was damaged by the
January blaze.
The church's pastor repeatedly has
charged that threats have been made
against his life and the property of
his church as result of vigorous cam
paigns he has conducted against So
called vice and criminal elements in
Texas. DR.. Norris was before the public
eye two years ago after he shot and
killed D. z. Chips, wealthy Fort Worth
lumber man, in his study at the church
building. His trial was transferred to
Austin on a change of venue, and. after
sensational testimony was introduced,
he was acquitted. The pastor claimed
Chips had threatened his life.
No estimate of today's loss had been
made. DR.. Norris is tn Wisconsin with
his family on vacation.
