BURGLARS VISIT
s. P. STATION
AT CALIPATRIA

Turkeys, barley and a Southern
Pacific safe at Calipatria made
up the objective of burglars and
thieves active in various parts of
Imperial Valley last night, accord
ing to reports at the sheriff's office.
An undetermined amount of
money was taken from a safe OPP
ened by burglars who entered the
Southern Pacific ticket office at
Calipatria last night, the agent re-
ported. Don Campbell was inves-
tigating the burglary today.
Amos Nehl told officers of the
theft of Is sacks of seed barley
owned by Nehl Brothers of Imper-
ial from field three miles north
of the Sandia store, where it was
to be planted.
Perhaps the approach of Thanks
giving had something to do with
the theft of 20 turkeys from Nit
Singh, who lives mile and a half
west of the FL Centre water works.
Two young Tom turkeys weigh
ing IA pounds, two old Tom tur-
keys weighing 10 pounds and 16
hens weighing about IL pounds
each were stolen.
Singh left his ranch about 7
o'clock last night, he told officers,
and returned about 8 o'clock to
find the turkeys gone.

|. Y. HARDWARE
RECEIVES LARGE
RADIO SHIPMENT

Marking the greatest revival in
radio merchandising since 1929, the
I. v. Hardware company has just
received, at their Ell Centre store
record shipment of 85 cabinet
radio receivers.
These instruments" stated War
rem Currier, general sales manager
of the hardware firm, have come
direct from the large Majestic fac
tories in Chicago, and is the largest
single shipment of radios ever to
be sent to Imperial valley"
Officials of the hardware firm
state that radio is enjoying most
noteworthy revival This is due in
part to the desire of the people to
get the political news in all parts
of the country and partly to the
wonderful improvements in the new
Majestic sets. The quality is better,
less current consumption, even in
the most powerful IL tube sets, is
noted. Static elimination is a defin-
lite and practical achievement.
I. v. Hardware stores have for
mulated plans for a most agresS-
i've radio merchandising season, in
which newspaper advertising will
take a prominent part.
1.-THE general improvement IN
business is reflected in the sales OF
radio sets" stated Currier. "The
seasonal upturn in employment is
taking on a permanent character
indicating that better times are

decline of 8405 cars in the week.
ly loading report brought selling
into railroad shares today and the
entire stock market eased with
them in continuation of the recent
| dull turnover.
The car loading decline broke a
long series of advances. Breakup
of the figures howed a rise of 1897
cars in merchandise in less than
car lots which was considered en-
couraging. Miscellaneous freight
loadings dropped sharply as did
coal loadings, the latter seasonal
dip. Grain loadings were little
changed from the preceding week.
Before the car loadings report
was issued the market was firm.
{ II had on the constructive side
such aids as firm and fairly &C
tive bond market; good news from
the banking world as regards clos
ures; a report the 10 per cent wage
reduction would be continued by
the railroad workers when the
present agreement expires; and a
steady grain market. The latter
turned down later in the day and
cotton also gave ground. Silver,
which rose sharply yesterday
quieted down with prices slipping
eff
Near the close, it was learned
steel operations in the youngstown
area would hold at 10 per cent
next week, unchanged from this
week. That helped steel rally
from its early low of 35A off IL
net. The issue touched 81 at the
opening.
Weakness in wheat increased af-
ter the close of the stock market
Other grains followed it down with
December and May rye touching
new lows for the season. Deem
Der wheat was within u cent of its
low record. Winnipeg wheat sold
off with the grain at Chicago.
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow, Jones g. Com
pany industrial average stood at
GIL, off .098, railroad 1922, off
GAS and utility 27.71, off 0.30.
Sales were 100000 shares, the
same amount as last Saturday.
Aggregate market value of 10
leading stocks was 1854 ,008, 841
against $5,601 ,565, 003 yesterday, a

HEAD OF BEAN
GROWERS URGES
HOOVER SUPPORT

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2s-(spe-
ciaD-To insure continuation of
adequate tariff protection for CAL
ifornia products reelection of Pre-
sident Herbert Hoover is essential,
c. G. Perkins, of Oxnard, president
of the California Lima Bean Grow
ers association said here today.
Perkins, pointing out that the
Democratic party is pledged to re-
vision downward, and in many
instances elimination entirely of
tariffs, warned that the only hope
of tariff advocates lies with the
Republican party. He said:
California is primarily pro-
Queer. We find the consumer in the
big centers of population along the
Atlantic seaboard. The freight rates
from most European countries to
our Eastern states are less than
the transportation charges from
the Pacific coast to those points.
This is one advantage the for
eign producer has. Everyone knows
that because of the cheap labor
abroad the cost of production there
is lower than in any section of the
the foreign producer has
Take these two facts, cheap pro-
duction and low transportation
costs into consideration, and it is
not difficult to reach the conclu-
sion that without some sort of pro-
lection products of the soil from
many foreign countries could be
laid down in most of the big mar
kets of the United States at less
cost than those coming from the
Pacific coast.
"a protective tariff is the only
gate by which foreign competition
may be regulated, and God help
California if someone leaves that
gate OPEN"
