HARRIGAN STATES
CLEARING HOUSE
SAVES BIG sum

That activities of the Imperial
Valley cantaloupe clearing house.
only recently organized, will save
farmers of this county approxi-
mately S6.000,000 was the estimate
of B. A. Harrigan, county agricul-
tural commissioner. today.
Pro-rating of cantaloupe ship
mentS to maintain a level market
and save cantaloupe growers and
shippers from absolute ruin on a
depressed market is the principal
objective of the clearing house, said
Harrigan. His office has played a
cooperative part in forming the
association of shippers, which in
cludes approximately 90 per cent
of all shippers in the valley.
A few of the more unimportant
shippers have refused to cooperate
with the clearing house, at the same
time deriving all the benefits ac-
cruing to others, officials declared.
Pro-rating of shipments has re-
suited in not more than $50 cars
leaving Imperial Valley during any
day since the association was
formed, although orders have been
received for more than 500 a day.
If these orders had been filled the
market would have dropped to rock
bottom, and shippers would have
suffered a tremendous loss, accord
ing to Harrigan.
AS it is. the activities of the
clearing house have cut the loss to
less than a million dollars. and
have resulted in keeping many men
employed who otherwise would be
unable to find work. Without the
clearing house shippers would have
been forced to shut down within
four days after the season opened,
with a loss of about S7,000,000, &C
cording to official figures.
An executive committe composed
Of Will Fawcett, A. N. Jack and
Tony Arena decide on pro-rating.
while a general committee OF l3
meets daily at Brawley to hear COM
plants and make adjustments. Any
shipper with a grievance is en-
titled to a hearing before this gen.
eral committee.

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, May %. - When
fighters start going back they
usually go fast and for good. There
are just enough exceptions to prove
the rule. Billy Petrolle is one who
rallied from the wet wash to blast
his way to bigger and better things.
And Mickey Walker, the subject OF
today's little essay, is another.
A little more than six years ago,
Walker, already veteran, saw his
hopes for a comeback as a welter-
weight apparently smashed by the
failing fists of Joe Dundee. AS
Mickey, blood streaming from his
face, was led from the Garden only
his most optimistic friends could
see anything but the discard for
the pug-nosed Irisher.
He left the Garden a whipped
to-a -frazzle welter. Thursday night
he will return as light heavy
weight with heavyweight ambitions,
in go against the tough old
geezer, Pauline Uzcudun. Since
chucking his middleweight champ
ionship Walker has earned a draw
with Sharkey and whipped mess
of men in the class above his. The
Pauline thing, Mickey says, is just
to keep his hand in until he gets
a crack at the big championship
this year or next.
When you remember the dizzy
land when ! say dizzy I mean
dizzy, dizzy dizzy life Walker has
led, and how completely the old
guard he used to fight has faded,
you begin to marvel at Mickey's
staying powers.
When Walker was in the thick
of things as welter and a middle,
Jack Britain, Paul Berlenbach,
Tiger Flowers, Georges Carpenter,
Mike ODowd, Harry .Greb, Sammy
Mandell and Jack Delaney were
making headlines even though they
were old-timers. Now all of these
boys. most of whom led Sunday
school existence as compared to
Mickey, are all but forgotten. But
Mickey with the big heart, Mickey
with the ear to ear grin, Mickey
with the freckled pan and Mickey
with the Percheron build, Is still
around. Plenty much around, I
might add.
The man is only 81, but those
81 years have been jammed to the
hilt, as the boys say, with living.
A heap O. living. A playboy ever
since he started out as scrawney
featherweight, Mickey has hit the
high spots, the low spots, and the
in-between spots. He's been champ
ion of two divisions, and he's been
kicked around by palookas. He's
made fortunes and spent fortunes.
And he's still going strong.
Mickey will not go down in his
tory as one of the worlds leading
family men. Cupid has speared him
hundred times and each time the
arrow hurt.

sequently the others must be
