LOS ANGELES, April IS. W.P) 49,
Colleen Moore and John Mccormick,
whose marriage in 1928 gave the
screen colony one of its most sue.
cessful "teams,' came definitely
to a parting of the ways with the
divorce suit of the actress on file
here today.
Miss Moore alleged she was sub

and suffering and gave a few spe-

A property settlement was said TO
have been arranged before their sep

actress returned recently from

She charged that Mccormick, a

THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

ms morning we can appreciate bet
ter than ever before, just how Mr. AL
Smith felt year ago. AS a matter of
tact our appreciation was just as keen
last night when the votes in the Ell Centro
city election were counted.
The emphatic victory of the Rice-Faw-
cett ticket leaves no doubt in the mind as
to Just what are the wishes of the voters
of Ell Centre. In accordance with our
pledge made at the start of the cam
palgn, we extend our congratulations to
the winners and their supporters and
wish them the best of luck. The congrat-
ulations and the wish are sincere.
Mr.. Zurcher and Mr.. Girard made
good, clean-cut campaign, and the vote
against them indicates nothing moreI8s
that the voters of Ell Centro preferred
others on the city council instead of them.
In some quarters the Press has been
criticized for taking sides in the city elec-
ton. In the past we have been just as
severely censured for not taking defin-
ite stand, all of which leads us to para
phrase Lincoln's saying, "You can please
some of the people all of the time and all
of the people some of the time. but you
can't please all the people all the time
We might add anyone would be fool to
attempt it.
The Press mas no apologies or excuses
to offer What criticism there was came
not from the candidates on the opposing
ticket but from individuals who had no
interest in the election beyond their own
vote.
We feel that the advertising columns of
the Press played no small part in the de-
feat of the ticket the paper supported ed
itorially. The advertising columns were
open at all times for statements by. our
opponents. To close them would have
been grossly unfair to them and OF course
mighty poor business.
The vote on the bond issue indicates
that the people of this city are not ready
as yet for such project. We still believe
the idea is a good one and that such
building would do much to help Ell Cen
tro. The fact that we are in minority
does not, in our opinion, mean that we
should change our idea. The civic audi
torium will come ultimately, but the peo-
pie will have to be educated up to the
idea.
We feel no resentment against those
who opposed the proposition, recognizing
the fact that among them are many who
are Just as ambitious for the welfare and
progress of Ell Centro as we are They
saw things differently than we did, and
Imperial Valley press., 1930-04-15

there were more of them. We appreciate
the work done by those who adopted the
auditorium idea and gave much of their
time and labor to make it successful.
We are pleased that the campaign and
election passed off without any mud
singing and without indulging in person
alities. There may be few bruised spots
here and there which is but natural when
men differ, but we feel certain that time
will heal them.
AS far as the Press is concerned. the
election is thing of the past, it's fine
morning and we have no regrets. We will
continue to do business at the old stand,
trying as much as we can to do our part
in helping make Ell Centro better place
in which to live.

of shipping costs and hazards, the

lambs are now largely in Colorado
and Nebraska and. of course. will
not move westward. From now on,
the Pacific coast markets will de
pend entirely upon milk lambs,
Growers are loath to sell at prevail
ing prices, which is slowing down
tie movement to market and may
result in burdensome supplies later
i'll the season when the lambs must
be moved. Approximately 60 per
cent of the California lambs will
be fat, the balance probably going
to feeders.

Off and away hoped Mippy. Soon
he came 70 spring, on the edge
of which was much soft dirt. Some
wasps were gathering up little balls
Of this soft mud and Mippy cried:
Please, Wasps, give me some OF

'Tlis is mud, not clay" buzzed
one of the Wasps. We use this
mud to make our nests, but though

Away hoped Mippy and soon,
near the edge Of a brook, he heard
some jolly, laughing voices. Peer
ing through bushes, Mippy saw his
friends, Jippy and Jappy Otter,
eoasting down slippery slide on
a hill The Otter boys would plop
into the water, climb up rough,
grassy side of the hill and sit down
on smooth place where there was
! no grass, but red, slippery dirt,
which was kept wet by waterdrops
from their fur.
Come on, have a slide with us

"Take some from the edge and

Mippy dug with his paws and

Spring cattle markets are in satls-
factory position so far as the pro
ducer and cattle feeder is concerned
Prices have been remarkably stable
oE Pacific coast markets since the
first of the year and in most cases,
feeders have realized satisfactory
profits. Just what the future holds
is, of course, rather uncertain, yet
from a statistical standoint there
seems to be no reason why beef
cattle prices during the next few
months should not be quite salts
factory. Western cattle supplies are
not burdensome in any sense of the
word.
Grass cattle from California will
be somewhat late this season due to
late rains. In most parts of Cali
fornia, grass feed is about normal
but in other sections, notably in the
southern San Joaquin valley, feed
is short and unless we have addi-
t;onal rains, cattle cannot be expect-
cd to fatten sufficiently for the
market. Throughout the state, II
will be necessary to use some sup
Elemental feeds if the cattle are to
arrive on the market in good, firm
flesh. Cattlemen have the advantage
of relatively cheap fattening feeds.
Alfalfa, hay and barley are lower
priced than in any recent year, and
prices of these commodities may be
expected to affect prices of other
supplemental feeds.
Should cattlemen in range dis
.ilcts give serious consideration to
shipping to market only the fat
stock and spread out the remainder
of their marketing through supple
mental and corral feeding through
the season, there should be no bur
dcnsomc supplies at any time and

GOVERNORS ACTION CON-
MENDABLE.

1t is gratifying to note that the ideas
of the Governor of the State of Califor
MIA coincide with those of this publica-
ton, as expressed in an editorial last
Friday advocating change in date Tor
the execution OF Joseph Troche, a prls
oner at San Quentin.
Troche was originally sentenced to
hang on Friday of this week, which hap
pens to be Good Friday, day held sac
red by Christians throughout the world.
To tousands of California citizens, an
execution by the state on that date would
be repu;ynant. In recognizing this tact
and changing the time of execution, Gov
ernor Young again exhibits that respect
for the opinion of others that he has
demonstrated on more than one occasion
since assuming his high office.
His action is pleasing to thousands OF
Californians and will be appreciated pv
all who share with him the belief that
nroner respect for the religious belief OF
others is one sign of real gentleman
