A score of 80 for Is holes is a

KIDNAPER, WHO WALKED
AWAY FROM PRISON FARM
IN 1920, CAUGHT

According to word from Washing

Emergency passenger, mail and
express service now is in effect

The emergency train goes three

necessary and convenient.
Passengers wishing to make the
trip will have to telephone the sta

this morning at $50 O'Clock.
The situation at the tunnel re-
mains the same as during the lat

B. L. Major, agent, and through
traffic still is being routed through
Los Angeles. It is impossible TO
determine how long this will be
necessary, he said.
Workmen are entering the tun :
mel from the top by boring through
the intervening rock. They are un-
able to penetrate far into the in

the smoke. The origin Of the fire
still is undetermined.

WILD RIDERS

A MOTHER familiar nuisance has made
n its temperance in Ell Centre and
several complaints regarding it have been
made to the police department and to
The Press
1t is nothing more than the danger
Gus habit of Ell Centre juveniles of rid
ing bicycles along the street after dark
without lights on their machines.
A half dozen or more instances of close
escapes from serious accidents have been
cited as proof that drastic action is nee
eSSary to protect these juveniles from
their own foolishness and to guard care
full motorists from the danger Of being
unjustly accused if a collision should oc-
cur.
Darling out into the road from alleys
or from front yards, the youngsters seem
to depend upon some good fairy to carry
them into the paths of traffic in safety.
Once there they do not hesitate to drive
a zig-Zag course regardless OF automo-
biles flying past them in both directions.
If one of these youngsters should be
struck by a car, and it is only miracle
that none has been, there would un-
doubtedly be great hue and cry raised
against the RECKLESS motorist". Yet 1t
is difficult to see these youngsters even
for one who drives carefully.
Talk Of mfllctlng punishment on
youngsters is always undesirable, yet it
would appear that something of this sort
must be done if the practice is to be
broken up. None wishes to see young
ster hailed into the police court, but it
may become necessary to make the boys
wake up to a realization of the dangers
they are running.
In this connection there is distinct
duty for parents whose youngsters have
bicycles They should see that the ma
chimes are equipped with necessary lights
and if they do not they are permitting
their children to violate the law and run
an unnecessary risk.
1t will be too bad if some youngster
has to be killed or injured for life be-
fore the practice is stopped.
Your attention is respectfully called
to the fact that there is a revolt going
on in Ecuador. 1t is little country in
South America.

Wiggily with a smile. But you
see tomorrow will be Candlemas

second of February. Among other
things that happpn on CandlemaS
day, besides the lighting Of candles,
is that many of my animal friends

sun is shining so they can look az
their shadows
My word! Why do they do
that?' asked Nurse Jane.
We'll, it's an old story and I
don't know how true it is" said
Uncle Wiggily, but the story is
that Candlemas day is a sort of
Bear or Grounding day. You
know these animal friends Of mine
curl up in their dens for a lorg

Of them scurries back into his den
to sleep six weeks longer which
means we shall have six weeks

But suppose the sun doesn't

Then said Uncle Wiggily, the
Bear or the Graundhog, whichever
it happens to be, doesn't see a
shadow and he only goes back il
his den for four weeks, so we have
two weeks less of winter
But why should the Bear or
Graundhog go back in their dens
Tor six weeks, instead of four, just
because they see their own
shadow" asked Nurse Jane.
"Ha! Ha," laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Il don't really know. It's
only a jolly old story and maybe
there's no truth in it. But, at any
rate, l should like to get up early

WANT STATE TO
BEAR COST FOR
MARKET BUREAU

The Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce is cooperating with civic
and commercial organizations Of
other lettuce producing communi-
ties in a move to transfer the cost
of operating the federal-state mar
ket news service from the indi-
vidual community to the state
The cost of maintaining the local
branch of the market news service,
operated at Brawley, is $4,000 to
shippers of lettuce from Imperial
Valley, and it has been determined
that the lettuce industry is the
only one which pays any Alrt OF
the expenses toward the market
news service. The expense of re-
porting service for other industries
is paid by the state.
In cooperating with represen-
tatiyeS of the lettuce industries
and the chamber of commerce from
Salinas. Robert Hays, manager of
the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, sent kilograms to Dudley
Moulton, state director of agri-
NulbblG anu INpllstllNl bdAlNtCA 81 III

that the state take over the eX-
pense of operating the market news
service in connection with the let
tuce industry and urged that proper
consideration be given this mat
ter at a meeting which was held
last Saturday in Sacramento.
Representative from the El

were unable to attend the Sacra-
mento meeting, but Immediately
upon receipt of a communication
from Hays, c. B. Moore, manager
of the Western Growers Protective
association, telegraphed that he
would be at the meeting and would
do everything possible to see that
the cost of the market news serv-
ice for the lettuce industry be
taken over by the state, as has
been done in the case of other
industries. 1t is expressed that
action on the matter will be taken
shortly and the Ell Centre chambes
directors hope that, through their
cooperation with the Western

shippers of Imperial Valley VIII be
saved the $4,000 annual eXpendi-
ture which they have made in the
