ANDERSON URGES
COOPERATION IN
DAIRY INDUSTRY

THE e. Centro Chamber of Com
merce has long advocated more
hogs, more feeder cattle, and more
dalrying for this community" states
Charles E. Anderson, chairman of
the chamber agricultural commit
tee. That there is a market for
dairy products is an established
fact, and yet our dairymen are
not prospering as they should at
the present time. Perhaps the Sec
ret of successful marketing of any
product lies in the cooperative eff
forts of the producers. We have
seen that a demand has been ere
ated for Imperial Valley lettuce
and Imperial Valley cantaloupes by
cooperative marketing, but no de-
mand for Imperial Valley hogs or
dairy products has been created
during recent years and therefore
these industries are not bringing
the returns of which they are cap
able"
In emphasizing what can be ac-
complished through community CO.
operation, Anderson pointed out the
results achieved by Tillamook
County, oregon, which is one. Of

exclaimed Mr.. Longears. Il see no

But I'll catch them this time"
Once more he turned, very
quickly, and looked behind him,
but there was no one there.

the rabbit gentleman. He hoped

1t surely was mysterious. Into the

What's the matter?" asked
Baby Bunty, who seemed to have
reached the bungalow just before
Mr.. Longears arrived. Whats the

There's a mysterious bell chas-

man. II hear it ringing behind me

"It's fast to the back of your

Bunty unpinned the mysterious

the best known cheese producing
sections of the United States.
Starting a number of years ago as
small dairy community, producing
cheese. this county later formed
associations and eventually consol-
idated into one association produc-
ing Tillamook county cheese. By
directing all community efforts TO
marketing this cheese, states An
derson, Tillamook county furnishes
cheese to market centerS which geo.
graphically belong to other dairy
communities and among these CEN
ters is Los Angeles. In 1881 Tilla-
nook county sold rs per cent of its
cheese to Southern California, as
against 40 per cent the year before.
Most of this was sold to Los An
geles county.
Here is a market right at our
door" states Anderson, importing
cheese, other dairy products and
hogs, all of which are easily pro-
duced in Imperial county, and I
cannot help but believe that
through proper cooperation we
could greatly increase the produc-
ton along these lines in Imperial
county and create a demand for
such products, labeled Imperial
Valley" in which no other section
could compete"
Anderson states further that Carl
Haberlack, for many years and at
the present time secretary of the

citation, has. through FL Centro

ASKS DAMAGES
FOR ARREST in
MELON DISPUTE

Charging malicious prosecution,
j w Chandler yesterday afternoon
filed suit in superior court against
the Imperial Valley Garden Grow
ers and A. S. Pilibos, asking $4,000
damages.
A grand theft charge brought
against him last July in Heber
township by Pilibos, as agent of the
fruit company, forms the basis for
Chambers suit. The charge was
never prosecuted after he was re-
leased from the Los Angeles coun-
ty Jail, where he spent the time
from July l6 to July 18, according
to Chambers complaint.
Chandler was arrested in Los An
geles on a warrant issued here after
Pilibos signed a complaint.
The arrest followed a deal in
volving three carloads of water
melons, according to the complaint.
Chandler, in June last year,
bought for Benny Ossep of Los An
geles three car loads of melons at
S11O a car, and instructed the
Imperial Valley Garden Growers to
bill and ship to themselves in Los
Angeles the complaint said.
Instead of billing the shipment
to themselves, officials of the COM
pany shipped directly to Ossep
drawing a sight draft on him for
$3.50, the complaint charged, Osser
accepted the shipment, but refused
to pay.
Later the company notified
Chandler of Ossep's action, and the
latter, upon being consulted, prom.
ised to pay, but failed to do SO
Chandler said.

What does it mean?' Bunty
wanted to know.
1T means something strange or
secret that you can't find out
about" Mr.. Longears answered. IF
you hear noise, and don't know
What makes it, that's a mysterious
noise. OF if you see something
happen, and you don't know what
does it, that, also, is mysterious.
Can an adventure be mys-
terious?" asked Buntv.
"oh, yes, indeed" Uncle Wiggily
replied.
Would you like to have mys-
terious adventure?' the little or
phan rabbit inquired.
why, think it would be very
jolly" said Mr.. Longears. But 1
hardly think shall have a mys-
terious adventure.
Maybe you will" said Bunty and
there was a queer, sly look in her
eyes. You never can tell"
Then she went on reading her
book of Christmas fairy stories and
pretty soon Uncle Wiggily gave
his pink nose twinkle and hoped
out of the bungalow.
Il can stay out in the cold a
long time with my warm, fur
coat and look for an adventure, +"
said Mr.. Longears to himself as he
hoped over the snow. Perhaps
! shall find a mysterious adven-
ture such as Baby Bunty spoke Of
Ha! Hal She's a cute little tyke.
1t would be just like her to hide
in one of the pockets ofmy big
fur coat, and pop out on me when
get to the woods. She would call
that mysterious, I suppose. I
wonder if she did it?"
Thinking the funny little or
phan bunny might have played
this mysterious trick on him, Uncle
Wiggily stopped and looked in his
pockets but no Bunty was hiding
there, so he hoped on.
Il guess nothing mysterious will
happen to me this time" thought
Mr. Longears. II think I'll sit
down on TINS stump and take a
rest before looking farther for ad-
ventures
After he had rested a while,
Uncle Wiggily stood up and
started to hop along. But no
sooner had he taken one, two,
three hops than all of a sudden
a bell began to ring behind him.
Ting a ling ling" rang the
bell.
Hal Someone is playing a joke
on mel" chuckled Mr.. Longears.
Il guess maybe it's Baby Bunty
ringing a bell behind my big fur
coat"
Quickly Uncle Wiggily swung
around and looked behind him

BORDER THEATRE
TROUBLES TO Be
AIRED IN COURT

Calexico's theatre employment
troubles found their way into su-
perior court yesterday afternoon
when Paul w. Barrigan filed suit
against Slim Summerviiic, George
Abrams, Archie Boles, Richard
Washburn, Frank Rickett, Ernest
Miller and others, seeking damages
totaling $4,000 because, according
to Barrigans complaint, the de-
PENDANTS threatened to "stop the
show" unless Barrigan gave up his
job as chief projectionist to Sum-
merville.
Barrigan has been chief projec-
zionist for the Fox Capital theatre
in CaleXico for the past four years
according to the complaint, and be-
fore that was with the Rialto the
atre, predecessor of the Fox, in the
same capacity for six years.
1t was on February 81, the COM
plant charged, that the defendants
appeared in the lobby of the Fox
projection room, demanding that
Barrigan resign as chief projec-
zionist, and allow Summerville to
take his place. When they were re-
fused they went to the manager
with the same demand, and again
were refused, the complaint said.
Stationing themselves in front OF
the switchboard, they threatened to
stop the show unless Barrigan re-
| signed, and it was only by force
he was able to reach the switch
board and start the performance
Is minutes late, the complaint
said.
Upon leaving, the defendants
threatened to return and halt the
performance, Barrigan'S complaint
stated.
In seeking $4,000 damages, Bar
rigan in the complaint expressed
the fear they will carry out their
threat, and asked injunction to pre-
vent this. He also asked $4,000 dam
ages because of worry caused him
him on account of the possible loss
of his job.

WHAT rs ROGERS?

AS though "Chaparral jack Garner

capable of adding sufficient color to the
coming presidential campaign, Califor-
MIA Democrats, according to press dis
patches, plan to go their Texas and Ok
lahoma bretheren one better by present
ing Gum Chewing" Will Rogers, as a
bona fide candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
A state Democratic leader is reported
to have gone to Sacramento for the pur
pose of notifying the secretary of state
that a petition will be filed to placed
Rogers name on the ballot.
The Garner and Murray booms may get
some place, but we can't see Will get
ting very far as a presidential candidate.
Not that he wouldn't make a mighty
good President. He would. He'd make
good at anything he tackled
But nobody knows whether he is a
Californian or an Oklahoman. When he
is in Beverley Hills, of which he is ex-
mayor, he talks of "our state" and "our
city. Back in Oklahoma he referred
to alfalfa Bill' as "our governor" and
Claremore is always my city,.
And moreover considering Will as an
Oklahoman, how can he conscientious
ly become a candidate for the office
which 'our governor" seeks.
From the California viewpoint, Will
is now working for Herbert Hoover, who
appointed him chairman of the commits
sion to joke the boarded dollars out of
the socks, at a salary of S000O000 per
year
Mr.. Hoover is still President, and
rumor asserts that he hopes to be so
again. If he becomes a candidate how
can Rogers go against his boss and hope
to get anywhere.
Wills campaign is certain to fall as
flat as a piece Of last years chewing
gum.
Now if he were only Republican-he
might be drafted to satisfy those Repub-
licans who blame Mr.. Hoover for every
thing from the Nebraska grasshoppers

new trial in the automobile acci-
dent suit of William T. and Hazel

The motion for a new trial had
been made on the usual grounds
of error, new evidence and insult
ficient evidence to justify the ver-
dict. Two legal firms, Whitelaw

in their motion. The plaintiffs
were represented by Harry Horton
and Clarence B. Smith.
