but gliding around very fast as if

Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twistytail

But soon they felt thirsty and,

AFFAIRS AT THE DAM

THE senate committee on irrigation and
reclamation is now holding hearings
in Nevada on various matters in connee-
tion with the construction of Hoover
dam, regarding which complaints have
been made.
Paying workers on the dam in scrip,
cashable chiefly at the stores maintained
by the company building the dam, seems
to be the chief subject of protest, though
excessive charges for housing and feed
ing are also given as causes for COM
plant.
Government authorities in Nevada are
also protesting on taxation, asserting
that Boulder City, the name of the town
built by the government for the dam
workers, is avoiding payment of state
taxes
1t is to be hoped that the committees
present investigation will clear up all the
disputed points. 1t would be too bad if
the greatest engineering feat of the age
was accomplished by means of injustice
to the men who are risking their lives
daily, that the project may become
reality.
Nevada leaders and labor chieftains
have protested vehemently against the
scrip payment idea, terming it un-Amer-
lean and detrimental to the best inter-
ests of the laborers. That is a matter
that will have to be decided after due
deliberation.
With existing "wide-open" conditions
existing in Nevada, men paid in scrip,
which is cashable only at company
places, or preferably there, are less like
ly to waste their wages than they would
if paid in currency. Looking at the scrip
matter from this aspect, it appears to be
a good protection for the workers. How
ever, it is also to be admitted that is
suance of scrip leads to abuses, only
too we'll known in the mining areas
of this country. Laborers are charged
eXorbitant prices and in some cases are
little better than serfs.
There is medium course between the
two extremes, and the senate committee
should be able to find it.
No surprise that Rudy's romance IS
nearing the rocks. He established a re-
putation as 'The Vagabond Lover.
Candidates are thankful they don't
have to make speeches tonight-and so
are the voters.

FARM PRODUCT
PRICES MAKING
BEST ADVANCE

It is noted in statistical reports
received at the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce that farm product
prices made the greatest gains Of
any one group of wholesale COM
modify prices during the month Of
July, advancing 4.75 per cent dur
ing that month over the previous
month. Increases were reported IN
the livestock group, cows, steers,
hogs, sheep and poultry, and in the
following farm products, corn, rye,
cotton, eggs, lemons and potatoes
Although there were decreases III
the average prices of barley, oats,
wheat, beans, apples, oranges, on
ions and tobacco, the rise in the
prices OF other commod lie
brought the percentage for the en-
tire farm group up to an encourag-
ing degree.
Among food price increases were
reported those of butter, cheese
bananas, fresh and cured beef
lamb, mutton, pork, veal, bever-
ages, lard, sugar and vegetable oils
On the other hand, evaporated
milk, rolled oats, rye and wheat
flour, corn meal, rice and canned
fruits averaged lower than fol
June, although the group as 9
whole increased more than 3.5
per cent for the month of July.

UNCLE WIGGLY'S WATER

Once upon time, when Uncle

Bad Chaps trying to play a trick

FLIGHT OF REAL VALUE

YESTERDAY, one James G. Haizlip of
1 Ferguson, Missouri, piloted his air.
plane from Los Angeles to New York in
10 hours and 10 minutes, fer new cross
country record.
And some of US will say. "Well, what
of it2 He is lucky to be in one piece
today"
There is this much to it. Only a few
wears ago we were thrilled when an army
flyer went across the same distance be-
tween sunrise and sunset, of the long
est day in the year. Haizlip'S time is
somewhere around 10 hours, nearly half
a day better than that. And if we go
back a couple of decades ago, it took
the first cross country flight over
month to make the trip.
Haizlip's time yesterday would be of
little account if it just stood for rec
ord by racing plane. His tiny little
ship could never be of any use COM
mercially. But its construction, the en-
CINE, and numerous other matters enter
ing into the flight, will provide plenty
of material for research and study by
aeronautical engineers, and it is almost
a certainty that within few years,
larger planes, fit for commercial pur-
poses, will be making the Los Angeles
New York trip in time comparable with
Haizlip's.
That is the real worth of yesterdays
adventure The lone airman, winning
his way in a tiny contraption at what is
now considered terrific speed, is similar
to the pioneer of the old days, who Jared
out alone across the Mississippi into the
great west, to lead the way for the
hordes that followed and civilized that
great territory.
1t is not at all far-fetched to say that
in a few years commercial planes will
be making time similar to Haizlip's.
There is constant study and improve
ment in aviation. We have constant
proof of it.
In pointing out the mechanical value
of Haizlip's feat, we would not detract
one whit from its romantic aspect. 1t
was a great flight, and he deserves the
honors and the praise which he earned.

ysis of the commodities listed Of
fered some encouragement to the
farmers of Imperial Valley. The
higher prices for livestock are en-
couraging to this community, as
are increases in butter and the rls-
ing hay market. 1t is noted, too,
that fruits have shown price rise,
which may indicate better profit
for local fruit growers during the
coming season. While vegetable
prices generally have shown no
change, it is very possible that they
will follow the lead of the fruit
prices and advance in value ac-
cordingly, Hays believes.
The statistical analysis quoted
was prepared by the bureau of la
bor statistics and includes 784 COM
modities with the average prices
based on the year 1926 as 100 per
cent. Prices on these commodities
as a whole averaged but 64.5 per
cent of normal, from which fig
ures it can be seen that Ats per
cent rise in prices in one month in
any one group is a marked inn
proyement.

AMERICAN SPIRIT SHOWN
in WESTINGHOUSE
ORDER

In the darkest hour of the
American Revolution, at VAL
ley Forge, Gen. George Wash
ington made December II, 1777
Thanksgiving day by general
order. That spirit eventually
broke the American power of
the British crown. In the
Presidency, Washington pro-
claimed the celebration, though
his example was followed only
occasionally by other Presi-
dents and the states had no un-
form rule of observance. It
was a growth. Notable and
significant of the meaning is
the fact that in 1864, with the
nation yet engulfed in the Civil
war, exhausted, bankrupt, Pres.
Lincoln issued the Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation which since
has been repeated year after
year by succeeding Presidents.
The South long repulsed the
feast as a Puritanical, even,
therefore, Satanical inven-
ton; yet for half a century the
South, too, has known the
spirit and has joined to make
the day one of national partic-
ipation.

WHY DO WE HAVE FIRESs

That is a fair question-and
one that can be answered.
We don't have fires because
they are unpreventable, and
are an unfortunate but ines
capable phase of modern life.
We have them because we are
careless, are incompetent, put
a false form of Saving" ahead
of real economy, and because
we refuse to learn a few simple
easily understood lessons.
Every year we pay out $780,
100000 directly to the bill for
fire. The indirect cost comes
to several times that figure.
Probably the total reaches two
billion dollars or more. At
least eighty per cent of it is
unnecessary-that eighty per
cent could well be termed the
"carelessness bill" No other
civilized people allows so great
a waste in either dollars or
lives.
We build homes cheaply, and
below the standard of fire re-
sistance recommended by au-
thorities. We allow wiring to
go INTENDED and fail TO have
the heating plant examined
and overhauled at. regular in
tervals. We permit rubbish to
accumulate in corners. We
put off until tomorrow" the
repairing of faulty chimneys.
The inevitable result is fire.
Fire can be controlled. It's
cost can be cut to fraction of
the present figure. Almost all
Of the ten thousand lives lost
annually can be saved. The
way to do that is simply by un-
renting vigilance on the part
of each Of us.
