THE HOWL OF THE SEA
BY MICHAEL YOUNG

Down to the sea in a reeking tub
That the capitalists call a ship
Down to the sea with rotten grub
That gets worse every trip
Down to the sea with dirty mate
Who works you night and day
And il you miss some time in port
He logs you two days pay
Way down in the tropic lands
Where the heat is worse than hell
And the insects eat your face and hands
And the stinking stew you smell
The men below are damn near dead
But the officers joke and smile
Why should they bother their head
For don't they eat in style?
If the fireman can't keep up the steam
Because it's SO damn hot
The engineer will shout and scream
Till the steam's up to the dot
Down to the sea with curse and growl
While the bosses sit and grin
Until red begins to howl
IF you organize, you'll win"
Then the crew can get good grub
More men to keep up the steam
Wen do away with this old tub
And ship on seaman's dream
That's organized from bow to stern
With crew to stick and fight
The capitalists, and make them learn
To respect the workers right

NIGHT AND DAY
VIEWS OF VALLEY
SEEN FROM AIR

Perfect flying weather and clear
visibility yesterday occasioned the
remark by Jim Granger, passenger
flight pilot at the Imperial airport,
that Imperial Valley is one of the
most beautiful sections, from the
air, he have ever flown over.
Weather in the valley is ideal for
flying during the entire year. Gran
ger is engaged in making short pas
senger flights from the airport here,
using five-passenger Stinson mon
oplane for the purpose.
A number of passengers were taken
for pleasure flights yesterday and
last night. The pilot and A. Mob
ley, his manager, will conduct these
passenger flights again next Sunday.
Imperial Valley from the air at
night is the sight featured by Joy
hops after 8 O'Clock. With the I'M
perial airport fully equipped for
night flying, and the monoplane
fully fitted out, passengers are given
the opportunity to see the towns.

Polo Game At
Yuma Postponed

Inability Of several FL Centro polo
lists at the last minute to go to Yu-
ma for a game there yesterday af-
ternoon in calling off the sched-
uled practice game between pickup
teams from Yuma and El Centro.
The hope was expressed that the
game will be played next Sunday,
when local players will be free TO
make the trip to Yuma.
Arizona horses are TO be used in
the contest, SO that Ell Centrans will
not have to truck their mounts to
Yuma.
Johnny Donohue, captain of the
El Centre squad, felt that the game
with Yuma would offer much to Ell
Centro in the way of experience,
which is sadly needed.
Another development in the af-
fairs OF the Ell Centro polo club to-
day is the withdrawal of Dave Will
loughby from the team. Willoughby
left El Centro today for Los An
geles. He will not return.
