TINE FOR ACTION

With hundreds of thousands of men
seeking employment throughout h e
country, and with the national admins
tratlon urging a widespread program of
construction as the best means o. elm
mating this condition, Why not a little
action on Boulder Canyon dam?
Ihe project has been authorized by the
law of the land for many months past
yet nothing has been done to start active
work on it. Just what is holding it up
seems to be open to speculation.
Several thousand men, now unemploy-
ed IN western states, could be given
steady work that would keep them occu-
pied for the next eight or 10 years, if the
Boulder dam project We're started
To the layman at last, there appears
to be no good reason for this continued
delay. Actual construction Of the dam
seems no nearer now than when the bill
was signed by the President over year
ago.
Ample time has been given to iron out
the technicalities connected with con-
struction of the dam and get the work
under way. rs long as those who will
benefit by the dam remain idle. it is like
ly to be another year, possibly more, be-
fore work is started.
The Press suggests a telegram flood"
for the Secretary of the interior, urging
him to set the wheels in motion so that
the dam can ba started. All municipali-
les, civic organizations, business assocfa-
tions and private individuals in the
Southwest should send in kilograms,
pointing out that Boulder dam offers
partial solution to the unemployment
question and urging Secretary Wilbur to
clean up the preliminary details and pro-
ceed with this work at once.

the Rice-Fawcett ticket seeks to make it
so. Zurcher and Girard have made no
prediction promises to hire and fire.
They are on record as saying personally
and in print, that the city employee who
is doing his duty efficiently, has nothing
to fear from their election. On the other
hand. they are not going to vote to retain
on the city payroll any employee who is
hot giving the city the full benefit of his
services. They are willing to give impair
tial Investigation to all departments of
the city government and then act in ac-
cordance with what they believe TO be the

HARMONY DEFINED

Anyone who has attended meetings of
the city council for the past two years
Goes not need to be told the reason for
the need of harmony in the city's gov
erning body.
This highly desirable quality has been
conspicuous by its absence. The council
has been split down the middle, resulting
in two groups which were Numerically
opposed to anything the opposite side
suggested.
In its desire for harmony on the city
council the Press does not wish to see
five men, who like sheep, would follow
wherever they were led, Harmony does
not necessarily mean that all council
men must think alike on every matter
presented to them.
Difference of opinion is highly desir-
able, when it is based on honest belief
and is not stimulated by personal ami
mosities, prejudices or desires to even up
previous defeats. Honest differences
can be changed by reasoning and argu-
ment. Differences inspired by PERSONAL
tiles are stubborn and cannot be changed.
resulting in continual strife and dlscord.
This has been the case in the city coun-
Gil for the past two years.
Election of the Zurcher-Girard ticket
will provide the city with council Of
five men, able to think independently,
but also able to give and take so that
they can act in harmony for the best in
terests of FL Centre.
Zurcher and Girard are not bound by
any prediction promises as are their op-
ponents, who seek office solely on one
platfornl-retention of the present chief
of police and city engineer.
Attention of the voters has been called
before in this column TO the fact that this
matter is not campaign issue, though

PAIN IN YOUR
SHOULDER?
Use Tysmo} for Relief

Knife-likc .iabs of pain in the vi
ciuity of the shoulder blade are gem
orally due TO neuritis, brought on by
exposure to draaghts or sudden
changes of weather. In some eases
there is stiffness or soreness in the
muscles, making it difficult to raise
the arm.
The safest and easiest way to re-
lievc such an attack is TO apply
small quantity of Tysmol over the
affected area. I his soothing, heal
ing preparation is quickly absorbed
through the pores and carried to the
throbbing aching periphcral nerves
The pains usually stop at once, aud
in very short time the last trace
uf soreness should disappear.

free from dope. Recommended for

gist, intends to return by airplane to his "city of the dead" in Mexico, which he discovered 36 years ago.
 The original journey was made by burro and afoot, in 1892, spon- sored by J. P. Morgan, ST, and Morris K Jessup.
 Niven's work was the beginning Of uncovering five buried cities near the site of Mexico City. They rep resented, Jessup believes, five dis tinct civilizations that existed from B. c. 400O to 5000 to A. D, 1900. Each city, he concluded, was wiped out in turn by some cataclysm, leav- ing each separated from the next by layers of earth and stone.
 In his first expedition he recov- cred the tablets of life and death which are now in the American Museum of Natural History. Niven came to Texas in 1889 as an agent of Thomas A. Edison. His life has been devoted principally to Mexican archaeology.
