ARMY
WORK IMPORTANT
TO NEEDY HERE

Captain, I'm hungry" This
from a l0-year-old girl who, ac-
companied by a younger brother,
had visited the Salvation Army in
search of food. Her school teacher,
discovering the fact that the child
was coming to school hungry, had
sent her with a note to the army
headquarters on Broadway.
MY daddy is ouG OF work and
che of my brothers is sick in the
hospital. SO mother couldn't afford
to get food for u.s. said the child.
Captain Myall Immediately left
for a visit with the family, taking
food and now they are being well
taken care of by him. This is only
one of the many cases that come
daily to the attention of the army
officials. During the year 1881,
the Ell Centro office took care OF
1901 families.
1t is impossible even to estimate
the good that Captain Myall and
his assistants have been able to
do in relieving distress in this
community. Certainly it would be
sad day if the army were forced
to close its doors because of the
lack of financial support, leaders
assert.
Captain Myall and his faithful
workers are now busy with a fl
nancial campaign, trying to raise
sufficient funds for the 1882 work.
This week, Governor Rolph, who is
large contributor to the San
Francisco work Of the army, met
one of the army solicitors and in
sisted that he was also interested
in the program that is carried on
in the valley, and insisted on max

Future Farmers
Hear Hog Expert

w. E. Chamberlain, manager OF
the hog department OF the
California Mexico ranch near Cal
exico, was a recent speaker before
the FLA. organization at Central
Union high school. He gave a very
interesting talk on his department.
pointing out the Importance OF
sanitation, importance of proper
feeding and general management in
conducting such farm.
Chamberlain is comparatively
new in the valley, having come
down only a few months ago, at
the time a large number OF hogs
were purchased for this ranch.
He has had considerable eXper-
ience with hogs in other parts OF
the state, especially at Hanford in
the San Joaquin Valley, and Bald
win Park. He has also had con-
siderable experience in working
with All clubs and future farmer
organizations, SO he was able to
give the boys a very instructive as
well as interesting talk on the hog
industry.

got and twinkled his pink nose,
which made the animal boy and
girl soldiers laugh.
"Silencel" cried Uncle Wiggily,
trying TO speak sternly. Don't
laugh! We must get ready for the
fighting! Attention."
"Hurrayi I'm glad there's to be
some fighting" shouted Custer,
who was Busters brother.
80 am IT, said Duster, another
brother
Are we girls going to fight?"
asked Jangle, who was Jingle's
twin sister.
Girls can't be soldiers and
fight!' answered Buster. "Only
we boys can fight"
"Oh, that's no fun at ALL" eX-
claimed Jingle. 81 want to fight"
Maybe it would be more fun for
us to be Red Cross nurses" said
Baby Bunty.
"Oh, yes, that would be fun.
Then we could take care of the
boys when they get hurt" laughed
Jangle.
BY this time Uncle Wiggily was
jumping up and down on top of
the walls of the snow fort he had
built around his bungalow. He
reached the top Of the walls by
climbing up a ladder. The poor
rabbit gentleman wanted his boy
and girl animal soldiers to be
quiet, but here they were talking
just as if it were a party.
BE quiet! Be quiet, pleased"
called the rabbit gentleman. you
cannot be soldiers and talk all
the while. Besides, here come the
Bad Chaps! Now there will be
some fightingl"
"Hurrayl Hurray! Hurray!" cried
the boy soldiers, for they felt very
brave inside the strong snow fort.
Get ready for the battle-to
take care of the woundedp' cried
Jingle who was at the head Of the
Red Cross nurses.
Uncle Wiggily climbed down off
the fort wall.
Are the Bad Chaps really COM
ing?" asked Buster.
Eyes, the Fox, the Wolf and the
Bob Cat are running toward our
fort" said Uncle Wiggily. Il saw

them from the top of the wall.
Now everybody keep quiet and get
ready to drive them away"
For q wonder no one now talked
inside the snow fort. Uncle Wig
gily was glad it had been built to
protect his bungalow. Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy and Mrs. Longears
stood in the bungalow doorway
looking at Uncle Wiggily and his
soldiers.
Whats going on?' asked Nurse
Jane.
The Bad Chaps are coming!"
cried UncleWiggily. I'VE are 60
ing to drive them away from our
fort. They are outside and they
want to get inside. They will try
to climb over the walls, but I'll
stop them, for they have no
ladder"
How will you stop them?" asked
Mrs. Longears.
Il and my brave soldiers will
throw snowballs at the Bad
Chaps!" cried Uncle Wiggilv. I'VE
will SNOWFALL them on their noses
and on their toeses and drive them
away"
Good for youi" shouted Nurse
Jane, who aways wanted to be q
soldier, but, instead, had to be q
nurse.
Once more Uncle Wiggily climbed
up on top of the snow fort and
took a look. Quickly he climbed
down again.
Ready, soldiersl' he cried.
Here they come. Quick, make a
lot of snowballs and throw at the
enemy!'
Then the girl animals began to
make SnoWballs and the boy ami
mails began to throw them over
the walls at the Fox, the Wolf
and the Bob Cat when the three
Bad Chaps rushed at the front
wall of the fort. And so many
balls did the animal soldiers throw
and SO hard did they hit the Bad
Chaps that first the Fox howled
and then the Wolf howled and
then the Bob Cat howled, being
hit on their noses and on their
toeses, and away they ran. So
Uncle Wiggily and his soldiers in
the fort were safe.
Now if the pussy cat will stop
tickling the puppy dog on his nose
with the fuzzy end of her tail, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and his funny guns.

concerned.
Traffic is handled admirable this
year and drivers OF automobiles
are loud in their praise OF the
methods employed.
One Of the most beautiful
booths at the Imperial County
Fair is that of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce. This dis
play provides an interesting con-
trast between the desert when
settlement began and the re-
claimed area today.
The desert section is banked
with arrow weed and genuine
desert growth, and relics OF early
days are arranged realistically on
the sanded floor.
In the section dedicated 10 the
pioneers who reclaimed the desert
stands a mound of choice Imperial
Valley products pouring from
cornucopia. The mound is topped
by a dainty fairy with gossamer
wings and wand of silver, symbolic
ing the magic change wrought by
the pioneers.
A comfortable cozy corner is
stocked with Imperial Valley lit
erature provided by the chambers
of commerce affiliated in the asso-
citation. The display was planned
and arranged by Leo Watts, secre-
tary of the Calexico Chamber OF
Commerce.

THE JUDD VERDICT

1T is a stern fate the Arizona jury has
| meted out to Winnie Ruth Judd.
But in the light of the viciousness OF
her crime it is no more stern than the
fate she dealt to her two victims.
The idea of hanging woman must be
repulsive to all. Hanging, either for
man or woman, is nasty bit Of business,
vet we seem to have no better alterna-
tive for Furnishing crimes of particular
viciousness.
There was a brazenness about the whole
sordid mess that makes it particularly
difficult to stir up sympathy for the ac-
cused woman. Not once since her arrest
has she shown the slightest sign of re-
morse at her awful deed. Even the ter
rible verdict of the jury failed to make
any impression upon her.
In many quarters the Arizona jury
will be condemned There will be many
who will assert this woman Is insane.
That she may be in some degree, seems
plausible. but to assert that she does not
know right from wrong, is far fetched.
Extreme jealousy and an ungovern-
able temper, may be degrees of insanity,
but they do not prevent q person from
knowing that to kill another is wrong.
The pains Mrs. Judd took to hide her
crime and escape its consequences, were
not conceived in a mind that did not
know right from wrong. She readily
recognized the wrong she had done, and
strove to conceal it.
Terrible as it is to think of her fate,
and much as one might wish the verdict
had been otherwise; that jury deserves
commentator for not being misled by
the insanity plea. Mrs. Judd was not in
sane and we do not think she is insane
now.
In other words Al Smith is willing
but will not force himself.

Captain Myall is very anxious to
end this campaign as soon as pos
sible, SO that it will not keep him
from the more important work of
administering relief to the unfor-
tunates. He therefore calls upon
all citizens to send i'll their con-
tributions to F. j. Gianola, Bank
of America, who is treasurer Of the
armys funds. This will save a
personal call from the representa-
tives who are busy collecting the

DECORATIONS AT

FINE SPECTACLE

General decorations in the ex-
hibit building this year are un-
usually gorgeous and provide a
splendid setting for the gay booths
in which are displayed the prod
ucts of Imperial county develop
ment.
The high ceiling IS draped in
rainbow tinted bunting and BAN
ners and pennants combine to
make a fluttering and artistic set
ting for the annual county fair.
American and Mexican flags are
effectively combined in the deco
rations. The backgrounds pro-
vided at intervals along the walls
of the building depict desert scenes
which are particularly significant
for Imperial Valley.
The space prepared for the
nightly dances is artistically
draped with flags and colorful
banners.
Free automobile parking is pro-
vided across the highway from the
fairgrounds and is SO arranged that
any car may enter and leave the
grounds at any time without it
being necessary TO move other
machines from the path OF
progress.
The system is greatly TO be
commended as it is most convent

VISIT THE FAIR
". G. COSTELLO
Manager

THOSE who have seen the Imperial
1 County Mid-Winter Fair, will doubt
less agree with the statement that it is
a splendid exhibition, credit to the men
who have supervised it and to the peo-
pie of Imperial county who have made
it possible.
The splendid displays of fruits, veg
etables, livestock, farm products of nu-
merous varieties and the industrial activ
tiles of the valley, tell the story of the
every day life of some $4,000 persons
residing here.
Those of US who live in the cities may
well express surprise when we visit the
fair and see the extent of the agricul-
tural exhibit The splendid products
shown there are a tribute to the man
on the farm, who deals directly with
Mother Nature, and who has made I'M
perial Valley possible.
The city man, who, perhaps, seldom
gets the opportunity to visit in the rural
areas, will probably enjoy the agricul-
tural show, if he is at all interested in
farm products For the rural residents
the fair offers a chance to COM
pare their stuff with their neighbors'
and for all to seek ways of improvement.
Youngsters by all means should see
the fair. 1t will teach them to know
Imperial Valley better and to appreciate
the opportunities which it offers.
Those who have not as yet visited the
fair should do so by all means.

 The object of this extensive at- 1 tention is one of the most patient casualties of the new economic era. With the farmer helpless real re- covery is believed impossible. He casts half of the nations vote. He has suffered in the depression of the last three years. But he also suffered for ten years before while the city man was rolling in the easy money of the Coolidge boom days.
 His patience is about exhausted. !. Farm strikes have spread over the middle west. Protest dem onstrations have been arranged to impress both presidential candi- dates witht he grievances of the farmers. It is significant of the current temper in the farm belt that leaders of these protest move ments are urging that their fol- lowers keep their demonstrations orderly and show due respect for the dignity of the distinguished presidential candidates.
 The farmer is a small business man. He has invested in a farm. Thousands of farmers have seen their capital wiped out. Thousands of others are face to face with that prospect as they try to support mortgages larger often than the present value of the farms and

 The big insurance companies and others who hold large num- bers of farm mortgages have grown somewhat nervous over an Iowa law passed some time ago to ease the farm mortgage situation by allowing farmers to take out junior mortgages.
 Shrinkage of farm values has left 1-2 per cent of the farmers in the west central states mort gagged for more than the farms are worth according to department of agricultural figures to-day. It has left IA 1-2 per cent mortgages anywhere from 75 to 100 per cent of the value of the farm. Twenty three per cent are mortgaged for pore than half of what the farms are worth.

(On1ted PreSS SCaH SOfrcSpOnOent)
 Allentown, Pa - GU. P.) - One of the countfy's youngest manu- lecturers is 11-year-old William Smelling, who is engaged in making ink.
 While William is the head of the firm. he is assisted by his younger brother, Robert, nine.
 With all the seriousness of his eleven years, William explained that the firm has no salesmen be- cause he feels he is better able to represent their products than any employe could do.
 Office In Basement
 Their business, located in the basement of their Allentown home, started through the curi- osity of the youngsters. Their fa- ther, pr o. Smelling, formerly was in charge of explosive experiments for the United States government. Frequently the boys watched him at work They asked if they could n't experiment., so he allowed them to use harmless chemicals.
 It was while they were "experi- menting" that they discovered a beautiful blue color. It proved to be the basis for their ink business.
 School" said William, lis simply wonderful. For if I hadn't gone to school I would never have learned percentages. And without percentages I could never have figured costs and discounts.
 Percentage Helped
 The head of the firm explained that Robert who has not as yet studied percentages in- school, made sale one day for 25 cents under the correct price.
 "That incident alone proves the value of an education," he con- cluded triumphantly.
 William outlined his "sales talk"
 When I get in a hotel in New York;" he said, "I ask for the purchasing agent. I give him my regular line, then tell him he has nice hotel.
 "As long as the hotel is so nice, and our ink is so nice, the two would go together"

 Senator Norris introduced the of those who toll on the farms, in the factories and in the counting houses, and wno constitute the bhlwark and the backbone of our. civilization"
 Discussing the national conven- tions, Norris asserted "the repre- sentatives of monopolies and spe- cial interests fought Governor Roosevelt with a re1entlessness which disregarded fairness. honesty and truth"
 "One of the cries they used against him in that convention fight" Norris explained, twas that the governor of New York was controlled by Tanmany, and that his administration, fla he became president, would be dominated by the Tammany organization. But when Governor Roosevelt got through with little Jimmie Walker the Tainmany cry vanished and we have not heard 1t since."
 Norris praised Roosevelt's re- cord on the power question as "the most logical, most progressive and most advanced of any that, has been taken by any candidate for the presidency at any time."
 He assailed the republican ad- ministration for turning a deaf ear to the cry of the farmer for relief" and wound up with an ap- peal for the support of Roosevelt by progressive groups over the en- tire nation.i
