Farmers of lower Mont

LAXITY SOMEWHERE

los ANGELES has just sent one
L frankie Foster, admittedly Chicago
gunman and gangster to jail for carry
ing concealed weapon
Foster was brought back from San
Francisco where he was arrested last
week on a vagrancy charge, having pre-
viously jumped bail from the charge pre-
ferred against him in Los Angeles.
He is reputed to have been member
of the George Bugs Moran gang, vic
Tins of the Valentine day massacre Sev-
eral years ago, was arrested last year
in connection with the shooting of j lake
Lingle Chicago newspaperman, and con-
fessed to having come to the coast nine
months ago.
Fosters reputation is fully known to
police, officials and the general public.
The chief of police at San Francisco is
quoted as telling a party arrested with
Foster that he may expect police scru-
tiny lust as long as you associate with
characters like Foster.
There has been no doubt about Fosters
unsavory reputation. He is known as a
bad citizen, yet it was revealed at his
trial in Los Angeles that he is bail
bond broker in that city.
Bail bondsmen-those who make
business of providing bail for others who
are arrested-are licensed by the state
and are supposed to be law abiding bus
inessmen, the same as those engaged in
insurance, real estate, or any other line
of business.
1t would be interesting to know how
this publicly known gangster was able
to get license from the state, permit
ting him to engage in business. Those
who consider the matter are entitled to
believe that there was little or no in
vestigation of Fosters character before
the license was granted.
Or possibly he was operating without
a license Whatever his status there is
every evidence that he was permitted to
engage in business under the protection
of the state whose laws he was publicly
known to be defying.

Court Dismisses
Labor Dispute

A ne-months-oldl labor case died
natural death yesterday after
noon when Judge 1. Mayfield dis
missed labor charges against Sam
Ferrera, Italian rancher, when Eu-
genio MILAN, Filipino, failed to
appear as the complaining witness.
Ferrera made a special trip from
MADEIRA, where he is now located, in
order to be present at the hearing
of a charge filed last July as the
outgrowth of wage troubles with a
group of Filipinos laboring on his
DogWood road ranch.
1t was this same labor dispute
which sent Ferrera to the hospital
suffering from stab wounds inflict-
ed by Ignacio Baldeo, who subse-
ouently served a sentence in the
county Jail Injuries to Ferrera
were the principal cause of post
ponement OF the hearing after the
complaint was filed.

STANDARD OIL
PRODUCES new
POLISHING WAX

This week and next, window
posters reproducing an Imperia;

displayed in many Ell Centre stores,
These posters announce coast
wide spring housekeeping sale o.
two products useful in every
home Waxglo paste wax for
floors and Oronite cleaning fluid
to take spots off fabrics and other
materials.
A bargain combination price is
Icing offered by dealers handling
these Standard Oil products, and
it is expected that thrifty women
who use The Press as a shopping
guide will take advantage of this
timely opportunity.
WaXglo paste wax is the latest
household help developed by the
laboratories of the Standard Oil
Company Of California. Into its
creation have gone more than four
years Of intensive study and ex-
perimentation. WaXglo goes on
easily, polishes dry as a feather,
hard as nails and lustrous as SUM-

and shoes.
Oronite cleaning fluid is we'll
known and widely used as quick,
easy spot-remover. 1t cleans and
brightens all kinds of fabrics,
freshens suits, hats, coats, delicate
frocks and scarves. 1t is especially
useful at this time of the year
since it brings springtime freshness
all through the house.

SAYS AUTOMATIC
REFRIGERATORS
ARE ECONOMICAL

Automatic electric refrigerators
will soon be found in every home
in the country, because they can
be operated at lower cost than the
older type of household refrigera-
tor says P. P. Schmitt of the
Schmitt Electric company, dealers
in this territory for Servel Hermetic
electric refrigerators.
Contrary to the belief of some
people, an electric refrigerator
actually costs less to operate. The
greater convenience in owning an
automatic refrigerator is also i'm
portant The housewife can buy
foods in larger quantities and save
many extra trips to the grocery
end meat market. Food purchased
N large quantities is also usually
lower in cost" Schmitt said.
Temperatures in an electric re-
frigerator remain the same whether
it is summer or winter. This fact
is important because it means that
food will be kept fresh and pro-
tected from spelling Food that Is
tainted or spoiled in an old type
refrigerator means that it is
wasted; whereas, in Servel Her.
metic electric refrigerator, food can
be kept for several days without
any fear of spelling.
with the saving in foods and
operating cost of an automatic
electric refrigerator, such as the
Servel Hermetic, an electric refrig-
orator practically pays for itself
In addition, the Servel Hermetic
requires no attention or care, for
it is entirely automatic"

HARD TO SATISFY

IT appears to be difficult job to salts
fly slayers.
One James A Reid, bootlegger, ac-
cused of Staying his sweetheart at Los
Angeles, was found guilty by jury
which recommended a verdict of life i'm
prisonment.
When the verdict was announced Reid
is reported to have launched into a IL
rade, demanding to know why the jury
had not voted to hang him. He wanted
to hang and did not want a life SEN
tence, he declared.
Unfortunately, the verdict had been
rendered and it was not possible to send
the jury back so that a new verdict more
pleasing to the defendant could be cb-
tanned.
Of course there is nothing to get eX-
cited about over Red's statement. Had
the jury doomed him to execution, he
would have objected to that and de
manded life penalty.
AS long as he feels so strongly about
the matter, it is pity that he cannot
be hanged. 1t is also pity to reflect
that in seven or eight years from now
Reid will probably be free man, life"
sentences in California seldom meaning
what they imply.

ICE FAN PROVES
EFFICIENCY

A new type of room cooler
known as the Modine Ice Fan
has recently been placed on the
market here. 1t is a portable
cooling unit containing no pipes
or intricate machinery, but in
stead is extremely simple yet
efficient in operation. The local
distributors are the National
Sales Co., 1927 Eye st. N. w.,
headed by j: Kip Edwards, we'll
known Washingtonian.
The Modine Ice Fan consists
of a cabinet charged with ice,
and an electrically driven blower
which delivers stream OF
chilled air in the direction de.
sired. The cabinet is made in
sections. the top containing the
power unit and blower, the con
tainer section which holds the
ice, and the base which serves
as a support as we'll as acting
as a reservoir for collecting the
excess moisture extracted in the
cooling process.
The various sizes of these units
are made by simply adding ice
container sections. The tWo-Sec
ton unit when charged and in
operation in hot weather will
deliver air approximately Is de,
grees cooler than the surround
ing area.
The local distributors have
placed many of these air coolers
in private homes, offices, tea
rooms, and restaurants, as we'll
as in numerous physicians and
dentists offices, and hospital op-
Grating rooms. They say it costs
no more to operate the air cooler
than an electric fan.
The American Ice Co., Ter
minal Ice and Fuel Co., and
Blick Bros. service these ma
chimes free, charging only for
the ice at the rate of 35 cents a
100 pounds.
DR.. Roy Lyman Sexton has
voluntarily furnished the distrib-
utors with a testimonial letter
saying he had found the cooler
installed in his offices extremely
efficient in every respect.

Works located at lib Twentieth

forming valuable service to car
and truck owners. This COM
pany headed by V. P. Powell
specializes in the cleaning and
repairing of all types of auto
mobile and truck radiators.
The organization maintains a
shop at the Twentieth Street
address equipped for any type
of radiator work. Service in.
cludes modern Welding and
brazing apparatus for work done
in the shop and also portable
equipment for emergency work
that has to be done outside.
The latest type of radiator test
ing equipment includes tanks, air
compressors that deliver air at
high pressure to radiators being
tested and other machinery that
has now been perfected for the
repairing of faulty radiators.
Powell, considered an expert
in his line, advises motorists to
watch their radiator perform
ance closely and guard against
any tendency for their cars to
overhead as a result of faulty
circulation, thereby causing un-
told damage to expensive motors.
He advises frequent inspection
and cleaning and repairing.
