FOR A TRUE DECORATION DAY

SiXtyseven years ago victorious
Union army marched in triumph.
Their deeds have made history works
for thousands of students. Their in
spiration is still glowing natural
ness to guide our youth of today.
Fifteen years ago the expedition
airy forces of the United States took
up the sword laid down by others be-
fore them and carried on to victory
i'm the World war. Their prowess is
world history now and their fortitude
in the test of battle has been legend
for the youth and adults since.
Another Memorial day approaches,
and Monday proud nation will bow
its head in honor to all this bravery
bestowed by its soldiers. People will
plant flowers and flags to show their
gratitude. But will this carly the
gratitude far enough? Will it have
behind it the will and determination
of each individual to carry on the
burden for democracy that was striv-
en- for in those trying times when the
Blue and the Gray were at odds with
CdSu OlllSl VI WhCH TIC OOuS
answered the call of their government
and fought on foreign shores to make
the world safe for democracy? Is the
world safe for democracy? Well, it
might be if each will carry on as his
conscience dictates.
Decoration day is a fit day to begin
striving toward that end 1t would
be a grand thing indeed, when plant
ing that wreath or that little token of
love and remembrance on the grave
of that departed cOmrade, friend or
relative, if each one would arise with
the determination to work toward that
ideal which was the cross that our
soldiers bore.
In grateful memory then to the SOL
diers who fought in the Civil war,
the French and Indian war, soldiers
and sailors of the American Revolu-
ton, heroes of the War of 1912 and
the Mexican war, and other wars
which have been fought in the history
of our country, it will be very appro-
pirate on Monday, May 80. to go deep
er in memoriam for the dead and vow
to carry on for democracy in the true
and sincere sense of the word.

was SO dark he could see nothing.
But soon it appeared to grow
lighter and ahead OF him, in a
little nest of straw, he saw the red
hens egg cleaning like white

How good that chocolate cake
is going to taste!" thought the
rabbit as he craWled farther under
the barn. There wasn't much
room. 1t was rather a tight fit,
but at last Uncle Wiggily managed
to get the egg in his paw. There
wasn't room for him to turn around
under the barn so he had to crawl
out backward. He crawled little
way, until his hind paws stuck out
beneath the edge of the floor, but
! there, all of a sudden, he felt him
self held fast.
"Oh, I'm stuck I'm caught"
cried the rabbit. THE Fox, the
Wolf or the Bah Cat must have
caught me. Help! Help Help"
None of the Bad Chaps have
caught you," cackled the red hen.

She told Nurse Jane about Uncle

and the muskrat lady housekeeper
ran all the way back. She saw
Uncle Wiggily's paws sticking out
beneath the barn.

of the bunny's hind paws and she
pulled and she pulled and she

might be going to buzz that egg

Il mean that it's worse if you
don't bake a chocolate cake than
it is if you don't bake a molasses
cake. For a chocolate cake is bet

it's worse not to have one, if you

THE CANTALOUPE CROP

IMPERIAL Y A L E Y'S cantaloupe
shipping season is about to open.
From a local standpoint this means
that thousands of additional dollars
will be i'll circulation here during the
next few weeks, a fact which cannot
help but improve valley conditions.
Viewed nationally, it means that thou
sands Of families throughout the naticn
are going to enjoy the fruit of Imperial
Valley fields.
The cantaloupe crop is perhaps the
most unique in the United States, some
thing that is not always considered by
residents of this community. 1t calls
for moving a tremendous amount of per-
ishable produce to all parts of the coun-
try in minimum of time. This in turn
demands cooperation between grower
and shipper that is not far baek of big
college football or major league baseball
for team work
Where minutes count, and often repre-
sent the difference between profit and
loss, there must be harmony and CO.
ordination. To pick cantaloupes from
the field, transport them to packing
sheds, sort and pack them, place them in
refrigerator cars and get the latter roll
ing to distant markets, sounds simple
enough, DuJ the l00QmefaDle details con-
cerned with this are hidden from the lay
man and are known only to those direc-
ly concerned with the crop.
In six weeks time, something like l5,-
600 carloads of melons must be moved
out of the valley. It is done each year
and we have become so used TO it that it
has ceased to be marvel. Often the
circus is cited as being the most efficient
organization in the country Without
detracting any from its reputation, the
cantalOupe crop might be considered
even superior to the circus for efficiency.
In itself the cantaloupe crop is a Won
derful asset to Imperial Valley. One of
its by-products, the publicity it brings
to this community, IS valuable beyond
calculation. Imperial Valley is brought
to the attention of thousands who other
wise would never hear of it, through the
Imperial Valley label on every box OF
cantaloupes, and sometimes on every can
taloupe wrapper, that leaves here.
Comment on the crop would be in
effectual without paying a tribute to the
men who make it pOssible-the grower
in the field, the buyer, the shipper and
all conected with the industry. They
do fine job and they do it in fine way
To be forewarned is to be forearmed
Friday of this week is the 18th.
Baseball players don't mind taking
cut at the ball, but taking a cut in salary
is something else again.

MISTAKEN FAITH

THE FINANCIAL experience of this
l country in the past two and one-half
years, has done considerable damage to
the regulations of those who previously
were considered financial wizards and
whose sagacity in money matters was
taken for granted
Those whose word was once accepted
as being indisputable. have been found
to have no more real knowledge of af-
fairs or ability to control them, than
the sol-called man in the street
Perhaps this change that has come
about will help us to understand better
why wealthy women, considered to be
far above the average in intelligence,
would freely and willingly pay over
100000 without protection of any sort,
to a man whose reputation, to say the
least, is very shady.
One cannot jutly question the motives
of Mrs. Edward r. Mclean in giving
such a sum to CASTOR B. Means. Her
experience in losing her own boy
through a tragic accident while he was
being guarded from kidnapers, would
make her more sympathetic than the
average person, toward Colonel Lind
bergh's plight
But she knew of Means and his highly
questionable past better than most
people. The mans record was such that
no thinking person would trust him with
a dime With two prison records, and
by his own confession, numerous shady
transactions behind him, giving him such
a sum was almost equal to throwing 1t
in river.
Much as one expresses surprise at Mrs.
McLean's act, it must be said in her favor
that she believed even such crook as
Means undoubtedly is, must have some
bit of character in him and that such
tragedy as the Lindbergh case would
bring it to the surface.
That she was mistaken, is not to Mrs.
McLean's discredit Rather it proves
that Means is even more despicable than
his record heretofore gave reason to be-
lieve him. But then a man who could
turn out such book as he did, regarding
his relations with the Harding admin
stration, might be expected to do almost
anything.
Viewed in this light, Mrs. McLean's
credulity is beyond comprehension.

Don't Quote Me-
BY United Press

You know I suppose, that the
finance committee just put the
lumber tariff in the tax bill" said
the reporter.
It was a tough break for the
copper senator but its all fixed up
now. The copper tariff is in the
bill, too.
The work of framing the senate
version of the tax bill has been q
nerve-wracking performance for
the finance committee members.
Day after day the meetings ad-
iourned with the members almost
too angry to speak. Sometimes
they threatened to get reckless. AT
others they seemed a-conserva-
tive Often they were pretty much
confused.
The week was marked by an
effort on the part of sales tax
senator's to prove to the commit
tee that without a sales tax the
budget could not be followed. But
those efforts seem to have failed.
Secretary of the Treasury Mills
is generally credited with having
done much to bring order out OF
what threatened to be chaos. Fri
day he went to the committee with
a supplemental tax program Spon-
sored by the treasury. In effect
he said:
Gentlemen, over here you have
provisions l don't like written into
the bill And over there I have in
my program things you don't like.
Now let's get together. Wen toss
out the things one of us doesn't
like and get together on this mid
die program l now hand you"
The idea was music to a lot of
/ senators. 1t satisfied the Republi-
cans for Mills is a Republican.
And it was okay with the Demo-
Gratis because they felt that the
Republicans were taking RESPONSE
bility for it all. They got togethe,
and the bill was written in q jiffy
