ACTION
Federal Probe Is Begun at
Request Of Wilbur; Justice
Launch Separate Inquiry

william NJ. Mitchell, Attorney
General. said today he win COM
ply with the request Of Ray
Lyman Wilbur, Secretary Of the
Interior, to investigate the public
statements Of Ralph s. Kelley,
suspended chief Of the Interior
Departments general land office
at Denver, that oil shale lands in
Colorado are being Illegally
awarded to huge oil interests.
Mitchell said the matter has
been turned over to Seth w.
Richardson, an Assistant Attor-
ney General, for investigation.
Anticipating an early Senate in
vestitgation into the recent blow
off Senator Gerald r. Nye. chair
man Of its Public Lands Commit
tee. also initiated a private IN
uuiry into the sensational charges.
Political leaders were deeply
concerned over Kelley's charges
that some Of the oil companies
involved in the Teapot Dome
scandal were being given tremen
dously valuable oil shale conces-
SionS.
Friends Of President Hoover,
worried over the political outlook
for 1882, were anxious to have the
Kelley controversy settled at once,
Sc it cannot become another anti
Administration issue two yeals
hence.
In launching his inquiry, Eye
invited Kelley to confer with him
tomorrow or Friday at his Senate
office here. The North Dakotan
expressed confidence in the
Hoover Administrators control
Of the public domain, but declared
Kelley'S charges were too serious
to be overlooked.
He also expressed high regard
for the Denver field agent, who
was but recently transferred to
washington.
The belief prevailed Kelley
would give this information to
Nye rather than to the Depart
ment of Justice.

U. 5. Dept. Agriculture

Mechanical substitutes for the
fluff old mother hen are fast crowding
the faithful old biddy off her nest on
farm throughout the country, accord
ing To reports sent to the United
States department of agriculture by
the crop correspondents of the bureau
of agricultural economies. Only 43
per cent of all chickens raised are
still Matched under hens, the report
indicates.
1t is worthy of note that in those
sections where farm poultry flocks
have reached their highest efficiency
as profit producers, incubator chicks
are used IN for greater proportion. In
the northeastern, central western and
far western states, where poultry is
an important source of far mincime,
the farm flocks are being raised in a
more scientific manner, and incuba-
tor-hatched chicks are in the major
ity. In the South, where farm poul-
try is not a major source of farm in
come, a large share of the hocks are
grown from hen Matched chicks.
This finding of the department of
agriculture comedies with the reports
from the contest conducted last year
by h~atcheries which operate under the
slogan, Hatchery Chicks For Great
ter Profits" Every one of Al 900 let
ters from farmers throughout the ma
ton told of profits from farm tlocks
after they had started using the
hatchery product.
Reasons for this are quite apparent,
when the history of the poultry in
dustry through the past few years is
reviewed. Continued flock improve
ment by the hatcherymen has made
available hens with high average lay
ing capacity. Farmers have discover
ed that a comparatively small invest
ment will bring a proportionately
large return, provided, of course,
proper methods and a fair amount of
attention are given their focks.
Sanitation, observance of proper
feeding methods, and attention to the
poultry and egg markets, are essen
tials of profitable poultry raising with
which farmers are becoming familiar
often under the tutelage of the hatch
cries from which chicks are purchas-
ed.

driven. secure in our belief that it is only
the wildly reckless and selfish driver
who ever runs down 4 pedestrian.
However, there is another way Of look
ING at it that is rather wholesome.
The other day man was sitting on
his front porch. looking out at his little
b0v, who was playing with some other
children in the front yard. The street
W9s q fairly quiet one, not over-burdcn-
ed with traffic as city streets go but
autos passed fairly frequently. and they
seemed, to this watcher. to be going
rather fast. The children ran and skip
ped about the lawn. and now and then
one would carelessly dart out into the
street to pick up a ball, or to chase a
Puppy dog or 10 evade some other young
ster in game of tag; and the man who
was watching them got more and more
nervous.
Those autos" he unused to himself
ARE travelling pretty fast. Suppose that
one Of those kids-my kid. for instance
should happen to dart out there Just at
the wrong time. What would happen?
The best driver in the world wouldn't
have time to stop, or turn out. And no.
body can keep kid from accidentally
getting out in the street once in WHILE
So, as he mused, the father got more
and more worried about the speed OF the
autos that dashed by constantly; and
then he happened to think that these
motorists. after all, probably felt that
they were not driving so very fast They
were not exceeding the speed limit He
himself often drove that fast on quiet
residential streets.
And then this man formulated a new
resolution, TO govern his own conduct be-
hind the steering wheel. He resolved
that whenever he drove along street
beside which children were playing he
would drive as slowly and as carefully
as he would want other motorists to
drive where his child was playing.
And that isn't bad resolution for ev-
cry driver. You never know what
child will do A speed that is perfectly
safe on a clear street can be hazardous
on street lined with playing children.
When YOU drive along such street try
copying this man resoution-and see if
II doesn't make you go little more slow

IT VILE IMPROVE

Imperial Valleys first effort at pa

thing OF the past.
From many angles it was q splendid
success. Its sponsors and those who pro-
duced it, would be the first to admit that
the pageant had many rough spots.
which must be ironed out before future
performances are given.
1t was 4 wonderful beginning, viewed
even through critical glasses. and all
connected with it have learned much
about the task which confronted them
Much of this could only be learned by
presentation.
With limited time and resources a
great deal was accomplished
All who saw it were sold on the idea
that a pageant is worth while. II II ac-
complished nothing more than this, 1t
deserves to be considered a success.
Having seen what it is and what It can
be developed into, there should be every
encouragement to the people OF Imperial

geant up to the glorious spectacle that It

we know the calibre of the men and
women who produced the pageant-but
many people rightly resented the levity
connected with an occurrence that had
deep significance to the early settlers,
and should be equally sacred to us.
None expected a finished product. But
a start has been made and we hope the
pageant, like the story it tells, can grow
into thing of beauty.
