WASHINGTON, Oct. TN two
days of campaign transforming on
the Des Moines trip, Mrs. Hoover
proved herself to be one Of the
most active of recent first ladies.
She was moving about the back
platform Of the train at every
stop, waving, chatting, shaking
hands and sometimes making little
informal remarks.
She became somewhat of a trav-
cling godmother for the children
who packed the railroad stations
In large numbers at every stop.
At Altoona, Pa, and several other
places she cautioned grown-ups
not to trample the tots.
Early one day in the railroad
yards in Chicago when group of
photographers was working around
the rear platform Of the train, and
only half a dozen persons were
present, she asked the photograph
ers if they couldn't lay their used
flashnght bulbs down on the
ground gently instead Of dropping
them causing them to smash. THE
broken glass might cut the feet Of
the little barefooted children she
said.
Tt was too cold there for little
barefooted children. Railroad men
in the yards later said even in
summertime little children didn't
do much running up and down the
switch tracks. Photographers said
they didn't have time to put each

MOtOrist Given
Term In Jail

S. Hurtado, 35, was parked be-
side the highway when Officer Bill
Mitchell arrested him last night,
but it was no fault of the Mexican
that he was parked, so Mitchell
booked him at the police station
on charge of driving while
drunk.
In police court this morning the
charge was reduced to one of
reckless driving, and Hurtado was
sentenced to pay fine of $50 or
serve 25 days in jail. He was COM
mitted to jail when unable to pay
the fine.
Hurtado, according to Mitchell,
had driven his car into ditch,
and was trying to start it when
the officer arrived. With Hurtado
was L. Chacon, who was arrested
on a charge of being drunk. Judge
Lee Nuffer fined Chacon SIS and
suspended the fine during his good
behavior.
Christ Weibel, 80, was fined $40
on a charge of assault, and the
fine suspended during his good be-
haviour. Lea Bruce pleaded not
guilty to vagrancy. Her trial was
continued until October 10.

breaking it and that if they did,
someone would come along and
step on it anyway. But with these
reservations, some present thought
it might be possible to adopt a
more thoughtful disposal policy.
Somehow as the subject was given
further thought however, new diff
ficulties were seen and eventually
the problem became almost as per-
picking as that of what to do with
used razor blades.
Mrs. Hoover was completely at
home on the trip. She was born
in Waterloo, Ia. Her parents and
other relatives were well known in
some of the localities through
which the party passed. Her
grandfather went to Wooster Col
lege at Wooster, o., where the pres
idential train stopped long enough
for Mrs. Hoover TO hear the college
song.
Every time Iowa crowds started
up the famous Iowa corn song,
Mrs. Hoover would stand up and
hold her hands as high as she
could in accordance with old Iowa
custom.
Mrs. Hoover was at Virginia
Beach, Va, today attending the
Girl Scout convention.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND LITTLE
Bah

Uncle Wiggily and Bub, the lit
tie rainbow boy, had gone to the
woods together to look for an adj
venture. Bub was going to call it
his adventure when he found it.
For he had started off with a
wooden sword to drive away Bad
Chaps. Uncle Wiggily had his red
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch that Nurse Jane had glaW-
ed for him out Of a cornstalk.
Uncle Wiggily and Bub climbed
up hill and climbed down hill
Once they thought they had an
adventure when something crawled
in the grass, but it was only an
old, big mud turtle. Then Bub saw
something in a bush, but Uncle
Wiggily said it was only Jackie
Bow Wow, the puppy dog boy, for
he saw a tail sticking out.

A GOOD SHOWING

IMPERIAL VALLEY has done very
1 well in the matter of registration for
the general election next month, the
county showing a total registration of
1880 citizens.
While this is the highest registration
the county has ever had, there is no
doubt it could have been higher and that
numerous eligibles have failed to regis
ter.
For the first time in several years,
the Democratic party is in the lead with
a total of 9,679 voters and the Republi-
can party is second with SIPS. The
Democratic lead of 1,551 is healthy one
and indicates the necessity of every Re-
publican doing his duty at the polls on
November 8. AS a Republican paper,
The Press hopes there will be no c. o.
P. slackers on that date.
There are 916 voters who refused to
state their party affiliation, and these
votes may become highly important in
determining whether the county will go
Democratic or Republican.
Despite an intensive registration cam
paign carried on in Brawley, the largest
city in the county in point of popula-
ton, in the hope of capturing the lead
in registered voters, that honor still be-
longs to Ell Centre which has 4,417 vot-
ers to 1896 for Brawley, lead of 521.
Having registered, the next duty of
the 1880 citizens of the county is to
vote. Registration does no good if the
right of franchise is not exercised.
Imperial Valley should have close to
full vote on November and every vot-
er should take sufficient interest in the
election to cast his ballot and to induce
his neighbors to do the same.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN

NEXT Monday brings the annual
N Cleanup Week to Ell Centre when
citizens are asked to turn to and rid the
city of rubbish and trash accumulated
through the summer season.
UnSlghtly yards, vacant lots, alleys
ana business property will be the target
for the clean up movement
1t is natural during the summer sea-
son to grow careless and permit trash
aecumulations, due to the lethargy that
affllcts most of us during that period of
the year.
The police, fire and engineering de-
partments of the city will cooperate
with citizens in carrying on the cam
paign.
Unsanitary conditions and fire haz-
ards are created by trash accumula-
tlons, thereby creating direct danger to
life and property. For this reason alone
the clean up campaign should have the
support of all.
But unsightly homes, yards and places
Of business reflect upon the character of
those responsible for their appearance
and this fact should inspire them to take
an interest in the coming campaign
Ell Centre, by reason of the regular
ity of its streets and the evenness of its
surface, is a comparatively easy city to
clean up and to keep clean.
The Ell Centre fire department is
sponsoring cleanup week, and asks the
full cooperatin of all citizens. Firemen
realize the danger created by fire haz-
ards caused by the accumulation of rub
bish, which is responsible each year for
a heavy fire loss in the United States
Extra trucks will be provided to clear
away trash which should be collected
and placed where it can be carried away.
The city officials will do all that is nee
essary on their part, and ask only the
help of all citizens to make the clean
up campaign a success.

LONDON BECOMES CRITICAL.
Press Finds Fault With President
Hoover's Debt Message.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 21-President
Hoover's message to Congress announc-
ing q review Of the war debt situation
today was rediscussed editorially IN
London newspapers in somewhat more
critical spirit than obtained Tuesday.
The Presidents decision to initiate
discussions regarding the debts was still
welcome, and the message was con-
sidered. in the words of the Times. as
showing a much broader and more
problem than has been apparent In any
Of President Hoover's earlier utter
ances."
Remarking approvingly about the in
clusion in the proposed discussions OF
other problems linked with debts, the
Times adds: There appears, how
ever, one striking omission. Summaries
of the message nowhere show any al
lusion to the tariff or other measures
taken by the United States to prevent
the debtor countries from paying in
the only normal and practicable way,
namely, by goods and services.
If the American representatives are ap-
pointed to discuss debts and all ques-
tions affecting it, they cannot well
avoid including in the discussion bar
riers which the United States Govern
ment itself puts in the way Of debtors" "
The same point is made by the Post
In these words: There is not the least
hint that Americas fiscal policy Is In
any way connected with the tribula-
tions Of her debtors. On the contrary,
the President still clings to the I'M
possible paradox Of tangible cornpensa-
tion in the debtors markets. These
views, If persisted in, would foreshadow
an almost hopeless divergence Of stand
point in the negotiations
The Telegraph also stresses the
Presidents insistence on compensatory
benefits as banging the door on the
equities of the problem, while the COM
pensations he visualizes would intensity
existing disorders"
Admitting that President Hoover
moved forward q few PAGES from his
previous position, the Telegraph adds:
"A woefully wide gap still separates him
from the standpoint Of debtor countries,
and particularly from Britain"
