CURTIS PERsECUTED
 CHARGE HIS ATTORNEYS:
 L|NDbERGH TEsTIF|Es

PENNINGTON, N. J., June 28, - In the trial of Boatbuilder John H. Curtis which is underway here Col. Charles A. Lindbergh was sum- moned to the witness stand and he told of the fantastic dealings of Curtis with the So-called kidnap- pers, whose threatening demands were relayed to the Flying Colonel by Curtis.
 Among the alleged threats that Curtis had communicated to Lind bergh was the threat that the kid nappers intended to sell the baby to the highest bidders.
 Thunder crashed, lightning flashed and rain beat on the court room windows as Col. Lindbergh told the reminiscent details of his meeting John H. Curtis on his Sourland Hills estate during the storm on the night that the baby was snatched from it's crib.
 Lindbergh's recital seemed point ed and thus proved the prosecu- tion's contention that Curtis, in- stead of imagining" dealings with the supposed kidnappers, actually contacted with them or their in termediarieS.
 The testimony proceeded under a barrage of objections by the de- fense attorneys who claimed that their client, Curtis, was being per- secuted and not prosecuted by the Colonels testimony.

GARNER AND HOUSE STRUGGLING ID SMOOTH
 OUT THE RELIEF BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28, Speaker John N. Garner and his House conferees were deeply en- grossed Monday in the problem of trying to adjust the differences of the House and Senate over the Garner and Wagner relief bills.
 The public works section of the bill, it appears, will likely stand despite President Hoover's oppo- sition to it.
 President Hoover made another recommendation to the legislators to the effect that any emergency fund which they may create should this be distributed to areas where it is needed most and not distributed promiscuously through out the country.
 The relief program, now before Congress, is the principle bother some bill which stands in the way of hindering adjournment.

STOCK TRANSFER TAX |S NOMINAL IN
 THE FINANCE B|Lt

The new United States tax bill expected to balance with the na- tion's heavy expenditures, calls for a stock tax of cents on each $100 of par value, and only in the case of stock having no par the pro posed tax is cents per share. Present tax is ? cents on each $100 of par value and cents a share on stock having no par. Tn the case of stock having par value of S1.O0 per share, the total pro posed tax on 100 shares (total par $100), or less, would be cents and on 1000 shares (total par $1,O00) the total tax would be 40 cents
 In the case of stock having a par value of 10 cents per share the total proposed tax on 1000 shares (total par S100), or less, would be 4 cents with cents additional on each additional 1000 shares, or part of 1000. In the case of stock of 1 cent par the total tax on any amount to 10000 shares (total par $100) would be 4 cents, and so on. Altho the proposed tax is double the present rate, it will be seen that it is not excessive on stock of low par, as was at first feared.

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
WEATHER

IMPERIAL VALLEY weather is topic
L which all usually steer away from at
this time of the year, but the brand be-
ing received this month is certainly
worthy of comment.
Admitting there is no need for red
flannels during the daytime, it must be
conceded that even when the sun is shin
ing the temperature has not been unus-
ually high, while the nights thus far
have been all that anyone could ask.
Nor is weather of this type unusual
for June. AS general thing this month
is one of the most delightful of the year
with the exception of a couple of hours
in the middle of the day.
Yet, despite this generally known fact
many Imperial Valley residents still
think it necessary to leave here as soon
as school is out at the end of May.
This may have been essential in the
old days when there were few or no con-
veniences here, and the May exodus is
an undesirable relic from pioneer times.
July and August are quite likely to be
extremely hot, but they are hot months
any place in the north temperate zone.
We get cool weather again in September,
leaving this section with two really hot
months the same as any section of the
country gets.
And if those two months should be a
little hotter than most of us desire, we
have the recompense in knowing that the
balance of the year is much more de-
lightful here than it is elsewhere.
Imperial Valley summer weather is
largely condition of mind. Those who
can keep busy and prevent their minds
from remaining on the weather, do not
find it more than they can stand. 1t may
be uncomfortable but our weather is sell
dom distressing, like the terrific heat of
the midwest or the awful humidity OF
the east.
If we would think less about the sum-
mer weather, both while we are here and
when we go outside, the bogey man
of hot summers would be reduced to
minimum.
Events in Chile lead us to believe that

he is going ia take a June walk.
Maybe to pick roses or something
like that. Anyhow, he'll soon. be
along here, walking, and then you
can catch him"
"All right" barked the Fox. I'll
try it. But aren't you coming along
to give me help if I need it?"
I'll trail along after you" said
the Wolf, "but I can't go fast on
account of my sore paw But I
can hide in the bushes and help
you growl and snarl, and that will
scare Uncle Wiggily so he will
be easily caught. That ought to
help"
Yes, it will, a little,' agreed the
Fox. We'll, let's go!"
So the two Bad Chaps started
for the pine woods to catch Uncle
Wiggily when he should pass that
way on his June walk. And about
this same time Mr.. LongearS was
really getting ready for his June
walk as the Wolf had said.
Out of his hollow stump bunga-
low hoped the rabbit gentleman.
Where are you going?" asked
Nurse Jane.
To take June Walk" answered
the bunny. 1T is such a lovely
day that a walk will do me good.
Perhaps may see some roses that
I can pick and bring home to you
and my wife"
That will be lively!" squeaked
Nurse Jane, tying a bunch of gold
fish feathers on her tail, for she
was going to dust the piano.
well, toodle-oo!" called Uncle
Wiggily as he hoped down the
path. I'm going to the pine woods
tor my June walk"
Look out that the Bad Chaps
don't catch you!" called the musk
rat lady housekeeper.
They'll never get me on my
June walk' laughed the bunny
gentleman.
On and on he hoped over the
fields and through the forest.
Soon he could see. ahead of him,
the pine woods, just the place for
a June walk. Uncle Wiggily was
thinking how lovely everything was
and he was twinkling his pink nose
when, all of sudden. he heard u
strange noise. Whats that?" he
whispered, stopping and looking
around. And what it was you shall
find out tomorrow night. Then, if

late cake take a slide down to the

Two Mistakes By
Abinua Result In
Police Court Fine

A. Abinua, 30, wanted a cop, and
he wanted a cop in a hurry, so he
pulled the first thing that looked
like a police signal.
In a very few minutes Abinua
was practically surrounded, but in
stead of policemen he was the
center of a group of firemen, who
had answered the call TO Broad
way expecting to find the wooden
buildings there in flames.
For Abinua had mistaken the
fire box for the police box. He
1ectified his mistake by telephoning
the police department and asking
for an officer.
This, too, was a mistake, for the
officer arrived to place Abinua
under arrest on a charge of being
drunk and disturbing the peace.
The Mexican said he had been
cheated in a gambling game. but
was so vague as to details officers
could learn nothing.
The prisoner pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge Lee Nuffer in police
court this morning and paid a
$40 fine.
Elmo Woodward, 81, was another
who paid a $40 fine for being
drunk and disturbing the peace.
c. L. Smith, 25, fruit worker, for
feited $40 bail when he failed to
appear on a charge of being drunk.

Swallow Surplus
Is Slogan Given
Rural Sections

The recollection of the young
housewife does not go back to any
period when butter prices were as
low as now. 1t is even beyond the
remembrance of many grandmoth-
erS, according to Sam H. Greene.
secretary of the California Dairy
Council.
The present period of extremely
low prices has had a serious effect
upon the dairy farmers of the state
and upon many towns and cities
whose business depends upon the
dairying around them.
California Dairy Council is spon-
soring a movement to curtail COM
mercial shipments 10 per cent. by
greater consumption at the source
thereby avoiding accumulation of
further surpluses
One pound of milk fat out of 10,
instead of going into the factory
churn, would be consumed on the
farm in the form of fluid milk,
butter, cottage cheese, ice cream or
other products of milk that can be
processed on the farm.
The health of the farm family
would be improved, Greene said,
and economy would be served, for
at current farm prices the cash re-
turn for milk and cream will not
buy foods of equivalent nourish-
ment.
The campaign is going forward
at the same time in all of the
states west of the Rocky mountains
for these constitute an integral
dairy marketing area.
In California county committees
have been organized for the pur-
pose of spreading information re-
garding ways for utilizing home
procesSed milk products on the farm
table.
