POLITE BANDIT
FINALLY LANDS
IN COUNTY JAIL

Yumas courtesy bandit" was II
the Imperial County jail today after
being brought here from Yuma yes
terday afternoon.
He continued his unparalleled po-
liteness yesterday when he signed a
waiver Of eXtradition SO that Impe-
rial County officers could bring him
to Ell Centro.

pie was riding from the road, the

DAMAGE TO PEA
CROP ESTIMATED
AT 30 PER CENT

Damage caused by the frost OF
November 10 is estimated by vari-
Gus shippers as having been 80 per
cent of the pea crop, it was made
known today.
This damage is expected to cut
down the shipping approximately
400 cars. Should there be frosts at
later dates, it is explained, the loss
of course would be greater.
So far this season, 610 cars have
rolled from the valley, and if there
is no further frost, it is estimated
that there are $50 cars yet to leave
for eastern markets.
Early season estimates of the I'M
perial Valley pea crop placed the
total shipping at 888 carloads. This
figure was sased on one car to IL
acres in the original estimate. II
was discovered later. however, that
one car was packed from slightly
more than seven acres. Without the
frost of November 10, the crop from
the valley would probably have
reached 1860 carloads.
The frost is said to have brought
the squash shipments to an abrupt
close.

RICE HARVESTING
EXPERIMENTS IN
VALLEY SUCCEED

Rice harvesting experiments
which are being carried on near
Imperial by T. r. Lytle of Dixie
land, the extension service and the
Caterpillar Tractor company
through its local agents, Hulse and
Anderson, are proving more than
successful and are highly important
to the agricultural interests OF the
valley.
The growing Of rice has been
found to be of great benefit IN
leeching alkali from the soil SO at
fected, but until these experiments
were conducted, no satisfactory
method of harvesting the crop was
obtained. Now that it can be har-
vested properly, rice growing will
be important both as a crop and
for the removing of alkali from
farm lands.
Robert M. Gehl of the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, and H.
MacDoWell, harvesting engineer
from San Leandro representing the
Caterpillar company, have been
in the valley for the past week
watching the harvesting and offer
ing valuable suggestions.

Banned in nearly all States where boxing is legalized Camera and his French manager Leon See, strongly denied they were guilty of fakes" charged and rumored. See blamed powerful poll tical and boxing interests ''who cannot cut in or control my fight CT" for most of the suspensions and attacks eliminating in the recent attempt to deport both Camera and See.
 At the Washington hearing none appeared to oppose the requested extension. Contradicting many col orful reports, the Italian Embassy made clear that Mussolini did mot wish to draft Primo for his army, In fact the Italian Government of ficials endorsed Carnera's extension plea. Uncle Sam approved that request Hence the gargantuan grin on Primo, who prompted by news paper attacksO had actually carr tooned himself as dreaming he was not only deported but jailed.

 PARIS-The rick-rack racket is having considerable influence on advance autumn styles, or rather the edges of them.
 The dressmakerS, one and all have come to the opinion that there are other ways of finishing an edge than with fine seam or a bias binding.
 For instance there is stagger edging, which the knowing ones here call staggering" Staggering is a modern tattered rendition of what-once was called pillbing.
 Some people call stagger edges "saw-tooth trimming" and still others call it snip-finish.
 In addition to the jagged, un- scanned edges, leading dressmakers are using scallops and honest-to- goodness rick-rack. They employ these trims for lightweight tweeds and plain materials, on both coats and dresses.
 The fine handkerchief line II blouses of midsummer are notably partial to rick-rack edged collars and armholes
 Even chiffon evening dresses have frayed edges with never stitch of finish on hemlines and loose godets.
