little against Kaufman, who re-
lieyed Grimes in the sixth.

hit after he had taken Vances
place in the seventh and received
credit for the victory. An error by
Mel OFT, New York centerfielder,
allowed Slade, who had walked, to
score the winning run from first
base on Thompson'S single in the
ninth inning.

margin over Chicago for third place

infield helped the Chicago Cubs to
beat the Pirates, to in 10 inn
ings. The Cubs scored the winning
run on Grantham's tumble OF
urges grounder, Grimm's sacrifice
and Moore's single. Grantham S
error in the second paved the way
for the first Chicago tally while
Traynor aided the Cubs cause with
another error in the seventh when
they scored two runs.
Cleveland defeated Detroit in the
only game in the American League.
The Indians shelled Bridges and
Hoyt for IL hits in registering their
sixth consecutive triumph. Clint
Brown coasted to an easy victory

Early Visitor To
Valley Returns

Walter Greening, president of the
Imperial Boulevard association, was
a visitor here from Norwaik today
and spoke enthusiastically concern
ing conditions in the valley. i
1.-THE valley undoubtedly will a
chieve the desired routing for the
road as it is SO evidently the most
advantageous to all concerned" ,"
said Greening, land its completion
will mean increased prosperity and
business to the entire section"
Greening came to the valley the
first time % years ago and the con-
trast between development then
and now is amazing. The problem
of getting about from one valley
community to another was big
one at that time while at present
the highway system is in a high
state of development, he said.

DISTRICT AGAIN
ENDANT In
DAMAGE SUIT

Another Salton Sea suit against
the Imperial Irrigation District was
on file in the county clerks office
yesterday afternoon, with w. E.
Patterson asking a total of SAL 900
damages because his land near the
Salton Sea was flooded by rising
waters of the sea, caused by drain
age water from district canals.
This suit is identical with several
others filed against the district
during the past several months.
Damages in each suit are estimated
at different amounts, but charges
in each case are the same.
The demurrer of the district to
the suit of Joe Noble, last of this
class filed before the one yesterday
afternoon, was also filed in the
county clerks office yesterday.
The district contended that No
ble's complaint did not state how
Noble could be further damaged if
the district flows more drainage
water into the Salton Sea. since
his land has already been rendered
useless. The demurrer also con-
tended the complaint did not state
how Noble could be damaged by loss
of his crops and at the same time
loss of use of his land for three
years.
All OF the suits filed against the
district ask that it be permanently
restrained from flowing more drain
age water into the Salton Sea.
Patterson's complaint estimated
he had been damaged $4,000 by dam
age to his crops from flooding
$l4,400 by loss of use of his land fol-
the past three years. $4500 by loss
of Improvements. and $4,000 by the
land being rendered useless.

The Imperial Valley should and

ing poultry center in the west.
For the past with it's hot wealth
er handicap showed rapid progress
along those lines sucn as THE
SHARP & DORMAN RANCH

white leghorns for their Matching
needs.
The FERGUSON RANCH raises
from $4,000 to $4,000 chicks annual
ly for table egg supply.
These are only two mentioned but
it shows that eggs of two kinds are
produced in large quantities and
also real quality.
Having learned successful
method of Matching and inexpen-
sive brooding makes possible more
profitable and year round business
for the poultry raiser here.
There is a strong year round de-
mand for poultry meat and UP to
the present during July and August
did not produce poultry meat be-
cause of the heat chicks could not
be safely shipped into the valley
nor fertile eggs sold to groceries
very satisfactorily. Now chicks may
be purchased direct from SIM
MONS HATCHERY in Imperial
and taken safely home in the cool
of morning or evening.
1t also gives the egg producer a
year round market for their eggs
at a premium, and many great ad-
vantages that we will tell you about

Bonus Veto Text
Presidents Message Reviews
Compensation Act.

Text of President Hoover's messag
1etoing the bonus bill follows:
To the House of Representatives:
return herewith, without my
approval, H. r. 1904, AN act to
increase the loan basis of adjusted
service certificates
In order that it may be clearly
understood, l may review that the
adjusted compensation act (bonus
bilD passed on May 19, 1924,
awarded to 3,498,000 veterans ap-
proximately 100000 further
compensation for war service. To
this sum was added Is per cent, said
to be consideration for deferring the
payment until about 1945, the whole
bearing per cent compound inter-
est Immediate payment to depend
ents upon death was included, thus
creating an endowment insurance
policy represented by certificates to
each veteran showing the sum pay
able at the end of the period-the
face value The total face value
of the outstanding certificates today
after paving the sums due of less
than $50 and payments in full to de-
pendents is $3,426, 600, 900, held by
1897, 900, or an average OF about
81 900 each.
Loan Basis Now 221a Per Cent.
The burden upon the country was
to be an amount each year sufhclent
as a yearly premium to provide for
the payment of the face value OF
these certificates in about 1945. ana
to date has involved an approprla-
tion averaging $112000,000 per an
mum. The accumulation OF these APP =
preparations is represented by Gov
eminent obligations deposited In a
reserve fund, which fund now
amounts to about $750,00000O. A
loan basis to certificate holders was
established equal to 80 per cent OF
the reserve value of the certificates,
such loans now in the sixth year be-
ing authorized to 22la per cent OF
the face value
When the bonus act was passed
it was upon the explicit understand
ing of the Congress that the matter
was closed and the Government
would not be called upon to make
subsequent engagements. 1t is now
proposed to enlarge the loan rate
to so per cent of the face value
at a low rate of interest, thus i'm
posing a potential cash outlay upon
the Government of about $1,700,-
OOO, 900, if all veterans apply for
loans, less about $3.50, 200, 900 already
loaned. According to the admin
istrator of veteran affairs, the prob
able number who will avail them
selves of the privilege under this
bill will require approximately ST.
Oo0, ZOO, 000 There not being a
penny in the Treasury to meet such
a demand, the Government must
borrow this sum through the sale
of the reserve fund securities, to-
gether with further issues, or we
must need impose further taxation.
The sole appeal made for the re-
opening of the bonus act, is. the claim

ACTION ON BLAINE
BILL IS. HELD UP
"FiIibuSter" Charges Ex-
changed at House Commit
tees Realty Hearing.

After a lengthy hearing today,
characterized by sharp exchanges dur
ing which charges of "hlibustering"
and "dilatory tactics" were exchanged
the House District Committee went
into executive session on the two Blaine
bills to regulate the foreclosure of
mortgages and to regulate the issuance
and sale of securities The committee
adjourned without action, however,
when Representative Patman, Demo-
crat of Texas, insisted that the bills
be read section by section for amend
ment.
The committee, however, expressed
itself as in favor of the principles in
both of these measures, and another
special meeting has been called for to-
morrow morning in an effort to get
these bills favorably reported to the
House for the protection of the people
in the District.
Foreclosure Notice Required.
One Of these bills to regulate fore
closure OF mortgages and deeds OF trust
provides that before mortgage can be
foreclosed, Is days notice and publica-
ton three times in newspaper and by
registered letter to the owner or others
interested must be given. 1t puts the
sales of the property in the hands of the
marshal of the District and as amended
by the Senate would allow the owner or
second mortgage six months in which
to redeem the property
The Senate Committee in the bill it
reported provided only Is days for re-
demption, but the Senate itself in
creased that period to six months.
This bill also promises protection
against such practices as were en-
ployed in the Swartzell, Rheem &
Hensey cases, by providing that the re-
lease of the mortgage or deed of trust
shall not cancel lien of any note not
presented to the recorder of deeds. and
by him marked Cancelled and paid, un-
less bond is given for the lost notes
The other bill to regulate the issu-
ance and sale of stocks, bonds and
securities in the District makes the
Public Utilities Commission admins
traitor of this new law. Certain secu-
rites of known value, such as bank
stocks, are exempt. Other securities
can be sold merely on the filing of
certain definite information, such as a
showing that bonds represent only 10
per cent of the assessed value of the
building.
Licensing Provided For.
Other securities, however, must first
be submitted to the Public Utilities
Commission with full information as
to the value of property back of the
security, the purpose of the issue and
the application of the proceeds and
the earnings of the company. 1t also
provides for the licensing of dealers
and statesmen of securities or penalties
for unlicensed sales
