Hardware Team
Beats Creamery

Displaying a smooth, fast break
ing passing attack that was woe
fully missing in their game with the
Maroons Monday night, the Impe-
rial Valley Hardware basketball
team waltzed to an easy AZ to 25
victory over the Golden State
Creamery last night.

ming the Valley Laundry club got
basket wild, turning in their largest
score of the season by trouncing the
Gilmore Lions 81 to 81 in a game
that closed the season for the Lions.

Vaughn turned in five goals each
for the winners, while Howard and
Valusek played good offensive and
defensive games for the Creamery.

ing most of the Gilmore scoring.

ketball league will be played Monday

BOBBY PACH0'S
RECORD SHOWS
LOTS OF CLASS

Losing one decision in 50 fights
and scoring 81 victories via the
knockout route, is the excellent
record compiled by Bobby Pacho,
idol of Imperial Valley fight fans,
since he first stepped into the ring
here two years ago.
Among Bobby's victims are Igna-
clio Fernandez, Santiago Gorilla, Ben
ny Pelz, Jackie Mandell. Baby
Jack" Dempsey, Battling Sikh, Bat
tling Buluhan, Trench King and
numerous others.
Pacho is declared by coast sports
writers to be one of the most likely
looking bets for championship hon.
ors. He has punch in either
hand that can set down the aver
age boy of his weight, he is cool
under fire, has a better than aver
age knowledge of boxing and he can
take them.
Bobby meets tough competition
tomorrow night in the local arena
when he takes on Bobby Herman,
reputed champion of Australia, who
has recently returned to this coun-
try following an extensive trip to
Europe and Australia during which
he had phenomenal success.
Herman is managed by willy Fred
Winsor. the man who discovered
Jack Dempsey, and WinSor will be
in his corner Friday night
A 10 round semi-final has also
been booked. with Sid Torres and
Babe Colima doing the honorS.
Torres is a hard puncher, his best
blow being a terrific left hook on
which he has specialized until he
can place it WITH deadly accuracy
where it will do the most damage.
He spoiled several good boys with
this sort of attack.
Colima, while not q puncher, is
fast moving boy and can throw
plenty of leather. He is particular
ly hard to hit, and has an expert
knowledge of rolling with the
blows, diminishing their force. This
scrap ought to be one of the best.

boy, meets Tex Mills, the Texas
sheriff in the special event and
Tiger Flowers will claw Kid Naples
in the opener.

THE WORLD TODAY
THE WORLD QUESTION.
HIS HEART CUT OUT.
TO LIVE 100 YEARS.
by ARTHUR BRIsBANl

The world question is: what is Germanys con-
dition?"
world if German industry and finance should col
lapse?.
That probably will not happen although German
effort to borrow $500 900 to bolster the Reich
bank shows how difficult the situation is, after
President Hoover's energetic action, temporarily
stopping payments under the Young PLAN
Another racketeer killing in New York city en-
phasizes horribly the brutality and bitter hatred
that inspire these killings. Carmelo Liconti, rack
eteer connected with the Brooklyn BARRIERS and
Longshoremen's union the victim. His throat
had been slashed, the head almost severed from the
body and his heart actually had been cut out.
Human nature develops hideously when con-
tempt for law becomes universal, as it has done
recently in the United States, when officials sup
posed to enforce the law share the profits of law
breakers, and fear of punishment is removed.
This column has occasionally remarked during
the recent "sSy-the-limit" BOOM Sooner later
the world will begin to pay for the big war, and will
not enjoy the process" The world, including this
part of North America, is paying now, and not en-
joying it.
The moratorium simply recognizes the fact that
you can't get blood out of stone, even German
stone and that it would not pay to drive into bank

THEN AND NOW

Fifty years ago The Olivia Times says: Nothins
is good as it in those old days. Then a boy
was boy; he wore overalls and was always dresses
for work. He did half days work before he went
to school and another after his return, and yot
could kick him ten feet and he would bound back.
Now boy is "kid." When he gets ready to GO
to school, he can't bring in pail Of water for fear
of spelling his clothes IF he gets home before the
evening meal is done something is wrong and If you
keep him home after 500 p. M. you will require
gatling gum Our sisters worked then and helped to
cook wash and mend. Now they have good luck
If they get their buds in time to eat breakfast
and go to school. When the preacher used to come

BOGUS REFORMERS

No one will deny that now and then
real reformer arises who is able to point out
some social abuse that needs attention, and
endeavors through legitimate methods and
with sincerity of purpose to accomplish the
reform sought
On the other hand, it is evident to every
thoughtful observer that a large percentage
of would-be reformers are merely chron-
ic meddlers and notoriety seekers, who
have no honest desire to be of service to So
ciety, but are only disturbers and mischief
makers
Brand Whitlock, former American am
bassador to Belgium, takes the measure of
these bogus reformers in recent magazine
article, in which he declares: "Most reforms
are undertaken not to reform OF improve
anybody or to make anybody happier, but to
crafty a love of interference. Incidentally
they may crafty love of notority also, or
provide some one with job as secretary.
But at bottom they are inspired almost Who'll
ly by the love of interference"
Due to the gullibility of the public these
loud-mouthed and altogether offensive per-
sons usually encounter no difficulty in en-
listing the support of sufficient number of
people to enable them to exploit themselves
and their foolish schemes for time at least.
When one movement" plays out they invent
another and so continue their role indefinitely.
If the time and money devoted to the
glorifcation of these social parasites were
applied to really worthwhile purposes much
good mighe be accomplished. The profess
ional reformer is about the sorriest type of
citizen with which a long-suffering public
has to contend

Thought for the Day

Sugar can be more quickly and
easily converted into energy than
any other food. Any normal diet,
and most reducing diets, contain
sugar. Sugar is pure energy. No
cell in the body can live without
fuel, and sugar is one Of the most
effective of fuels. When long de-
NAL of sugar sets a craving for it,
1t is quite possible that the need is
q real one.

raj causes, but the ones anywhere
else it was the heat. But I guess
it has been pretty hot back where
you folks live.
But Mr.. Hoover pulled his debt
cancelling right in the midst of it..
It wasent too hot for him to be
thinking of something besides a
cold drink. Now that may just be
a mighty fine idea. It has already
jumped the market up, and every
body got pretty excited over it. We
are in such shape anyhow the last
year and half that we will jump
at almost anything that is offered
in the way of scheme. We know
that nothing can do us any worse
and we figure it might help, so we
are liable to jump at things that
after more quiet meditation we
wouldent even monkey with. don't
see how it could hardly effect any,
one so greatly but Germany, for
they are the only one that is saw
ing anything Germany owes.
France, England, Belgium, and I
reckon Italy, Il don't know what
for, but I guess just on general
principles).
Well then, in turn each ones
takes what Germany pays them and
pays it to us, so now the debt is
cancelled for a year, that don't
mean anything to England, France,
Belgium, and maybe Italy, for if
Germany pays them nothing they
pay us nothing. If Germany does
pay them, they in turn turn around
and pay us, so the money only
passes through their hands any,
how. If it does pass they pay it out
and if it don't they don't, so whats
the answer?
We lose 245 million that the Al
lies owe us, and Is million that
Germany pays us direct for the
charge of the army of occupation.
They were to pay anyone that
wanted to send in an Army to oc-
cupy their country after the war to
remind them what an Allied Soldier
looked like. Well that makes us
lose 260 million. These are the real
figures, Il just got them from
"Time"). That's where all the au-
thentic news comes from But we
can afford to lose that much, for it
takes more than that to do us any
good, we are so far in the red that
260 million wouldn't even stabi-
lise our liquor market.
Now what about the old boys
here on the home grounds? Well
maybe this thing will eventually
reach him in some beneficial way.
Lord knows what way but it may
trickle down to him some day.
Well the whole thing is beyond the
understanding of us Dumb Birds
anyhow, so just get back in your
bread line and let it go.
A week or so ago we had it in
our papers that Capone was broke.
Well It was just like saying Mellon
