Quoted in Ell Centro Wednesday

Farm Bureau, and various mer-
chants and business men will be
approached to aid in the work OF
the organization.
Farm bureau officials stated that
they believe the main thing accom-
plished by the local organization
was the securing Of lower freight
rates on valley hay shipped east, en-
abling local growers to compete with
those in Arizona.
Among other accomplishments
the farm bureau has been instru-
mental in securing a tariff on to-
matoes, peas and other products
imported in competition with local
crops. They have also prevented the
shipping of hay into the valley from
Mexico under the guise of waste
thus avoiding the payment OF the
duty required on alfalfa hay.

A similar plan evolved for the

II cannot too strongly recon-

Out Decisive Win Over
Redman.

Jack Redman's march to national
heavyweight recognition temporarily
was halted by Battling Bozo, Biz
mingham's Glowing bad boy, who
slapped, jabbed and poked his way
to a decisive ten-round triumph
over the Hoosier champion from
South Bend at the armory Tuesday
night.
Bozo's unorthodox style and con-
tinual clowning worried and ap-
parently baffled Redman at the
start of the scrap, and the Negro
slugger was on the short end
throughout most of the early
rounds.
The Dixie slapstick artist used his
superior reach and clever defensive
tactics to hold Redman at bay, and
four rounds had passed before the
Hoosier got in one of the stiff
punches which has characterized his
previous battles here.
Bczo gave the local mitt follow
ers some of the best entertainment
of the indoor fiStic season. In addi-
ton to showing the usual clown
tricks, he demonstrated some of his
original ideas. And when called
upon to use his fists, he showed he
could punch and take. Many of
Redman's hardest punches, how
ever, went to waste on BozoS Shout
derS and elbows.
In the fifth round, Bozo's eye,
which appeared to be off color when
he entered the arena, was opened,
but the wound was only slight.
