A few dollars a week

CURE. I want DeSoto! But

If you've been doing some
"wishful thinking" lately -. every
time you've seen DeSoto flashing
down the avenue 80. or parked out
side ofsomebody else house. then
it's high time you took an evening
off and drove around to see US.
DeSoto costs as little as $675
COB. Factory. Figure it out for
yourself. No more repair bills. No
more heavy gas and oil bills. No
more vibration and nerve strain.
DeSoto will make you smart -.
thrifty and happy.
Your old car will probably make
the down payment. Then just a
few dollars week.
And remember this. DeSoto is
the best investment because the de-
mand for used DeSotos is con-
stanty heavy. Ask any Car dealer.
Bring in your old Car for gen.

you can afford a smart DeSoto.

NEW YORK INSISTS
ON POWER PROJECT
Declares 1t Must Not Be In

st. Lawrence Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIANISTOWN, Mass, August g.
Outlining New York States position in
the development of the st. Lawrence
waterway, Belos M. Cosgrove, vice
chairman of the power authority of
New York State, today told the Institute
of Politics that the power developments
of the project must not be considered
as merely incidental to the navigation
improvement.
THE State" he said, Cannot con-
slider any attempt to impose on the
power project conditions which would
deprive the people Of the full advan-
tages which are theirs by right Of title
to the power resources"
Asserting that the States agents can
not consent to any arrangement which
burdens the hydroelectric project with
excessive costs, Mr.. Cosgrove said that
if that were done "the value Of the
peoples title to the power resources
would be dissipated as truly as If the
title were actually alienated."

volved as New York can determine its
attitude. These terms rest to some eX-

must be analyzed. Because of the

such analysis will reveal that the treaty
is fair and deserving of the support Of

SUFFERED FOR
FORTY YEARS
Then One Lucky Day She
Used Kellogg's ALL-BRAN

Here is great news for sufferers
from constipation. Read Mrs. Ken
digs voluntary letter:
"For about forty years I had
been praying for lasting remedy
for constipation and it's attending
evils. To make it short, | ate moth
ing but ALL-BRAN and a little
broth. Since that time (about ten
years ago) have not taken any
medicine. Have been we'll and en-
tirely free from constipation" -
Mrs. I. H. Kendig, r. F. D. No. 2,
Lancaster, Penna.
Constipation is caused by lack of
two things in the diet: bulk" to
exercise the intestines. Vitamin B
to tone the intestinal tract. Labora-
tory tests show ALL-BRAN furnishes
both. ALL-BRAN also furnishes iron
for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in lettuce. Within the
body, it forms a soft mass, which
gently clears out the wastes.
Isn't it much pleasanter to enjoy
ALL-BRAN than to risk taking pills
and drugs-so often harmful?
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
overcome most types of constipa-
ton. IF you have intestinal trouble
not relieved this way, see your
doctor.

ing. 1t is not habit-forming. Recipes

MARION TRIAL
TO START ON
NEXT MONDAY

Next Monday Judge Vaughn N
Thompson's department of the su-
perior court here will be crowded
with jurors and witnesses called for
what probably will be one of the
most historic murder trials ever
held in Imperial county, when Dan
iel D. and Mrs. Inez Marion go on
trial charged with the murder of
Alberto Garcia, former chief of the
Mexican rurales, on the Calexico-
Yuma highway last December IL.
Indicted by the grand jury, Mr.
and Mrs. Marion will be prosecuted
by District Attorney Elmer w
Heald and D. H. Wolford, his chief
criminal trials deputy. Edgar Her.
vey of San Diego and M. w. Conk-
ling, both well known criminal law
yers, will defend the Marrons.
Numerous witnesses from south
of the international border are ex-
pected to report for the trial, al
though they cannot be subponaed
from Mexico. Divided, by the slay-
ing, into two factions, the Northern
District of Baja California prob
ably will send a large delegation
of interested spectators to the trial
Garcia's Staying was so inextric-
ably entangled with Mexican poll
tics and cattle dealings that even
yet little is known of the actual
motive behind the killing. Both
defense and prosecution evidence
at the trial is expected to bring
forth clear story of the real rea-
son for the killing.
Garcia was killed while driving
from San Luis, small Mexican
town on the border south of Yuma
to Mexicali over the American high
way. The former rurales chief was
on his way to confer with Cover
nor Agustin Olashea of Baja Cali
fornia regarding an appointment as
chief of police in Mexicali.
Shot From Ambush
According to the story pieced to-
gether by the district attorney and
his associates, Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
ron knew Garcia was on his way
from San Luis to MeXicali, and
waited for him on the hlghWay
about 13 miles southwest of Mid
way Wells. Mrs. Marion was driv-
ing the car, roadster. Marion
was in the rumble seat, concealed
by a blanket, and with an automa-
tic shotgun.
AS Garcia passed, Mrs. Marion
started the car. She drove along
side Garcias roadster, and held the
car even with that Of the former
rurale.. Her husband took careful
aim and pulled the trigger. Shot
struck Garcia in the back and side
of the head, killing him instantly
1t was two days later before Mr.
and Mrs. Marion were arrested
for the murder, and admitted to
Tom Sharp, district attorneys in
vestigator, they had killed Garcia.

onic Home at Covina were shown
at Fox imperial theatre during the
early part of the afternoon. Past

activities at the home and discussed
the many persons benefited there
by the generosity of the order.

delight of the MasonS and their
families who were in attendance.
