SHAME ON THE MEN

IN ADDITION to being known as Ma
tional Music week, this week is also
known as Boys week, and it is regretable
indeed that there IS no public recognition
of the week here in El Centro.
Other communities are turning over
their city governments for a day to the
boys They are holding affairs of va
rious nature with the idea of making
boys realize that in a few years they
will take their places among the men of
the nation and assume the duties of
manhood. They are encouraging boys
to give more attention to the worthwhile
things of life.
Here we have neglected the youngsters.
Not only have we neglected them, but
we have thrown them down hard The
statement is called forth by the knowl-
edge that the drive for funds to carry
on the work of the Boy Scouts is not
meeting success.
Isn't it terrible, we say. when we
read of youngsters getting into serious
trouble. 1t is terrible, but who Is to
blame for it, the boy or the adults who
neglect him and throw him down?
All of us coming from other parts of
the country where our youth was spent,
know that boys here, by the very geo.
graphical nature of our country, are
cheated out of many pleasures which we
enjoyed. This, out of fairness to the
boys. should prompt their elders at least
to attempt making it up to them for
missing so much that should be part
of a boys life. Instead we let them
down flat
Ell Centre boys are as we'll worth help
ing as any boys in the country. They
are deserving of more attention than we
pay to them. If they are good boys, we
are quick to take credit for making them
so. If they are not good, then we say 1t
is the boys fault. We cannot blame
ourselves.
Mothers day is coming Sunday. There
will be much attention paid to mothers
and it is right that it should be so. we
can never pay too much homage to our
mothers. We believe in them and in what
they believe. Any mother will tell us
that boys require great deal OF IN
spiration and encouragement If they are
to develop into good men. The mothers
do their share. If they didn't, our boys
would be in a sorry situation. But as
for the men-we are falling down on
the job and we ought to be ashamed OF
ourselves.

IN THE ARENA OF
!. = :

this country, only two billion pounds
is raised at home.
To create market for two billion
pounds of American grown beet and
cane sugar, which cannot be grown in
competition with the product of the
tropics even in normal times, we in
crease the price of the Ia billion
pounds of sugar Americans consume
annually. That means that the grow
ers of two billion pounds of American
sugar get the same price per pound
for raw sugar as must be paid for the
eight billion pounds of tariff-paid
sugar we must import from Cuba.
The tariff puts $40,000,000 into the
pockets of the American sugar pro-
ducers. They keep it all except what
they give to political campaign funds
as the purchase price of their tariff
That same tariff costs the American
people $280,000,000 That's the price
of 50,0O0,000 pairs of shoes, or 10,-
100000 to 100000 suits of clothes,
or 1,500,000,000 gallons Of gasoline, or
the entire annual income of more than
100000 families.
How long has this been going on ?
Quite a few years.
Has the encouragement to infant
industry" materially increased domes-
tic sugar production? No. In the
last Is years American sugar produc
tion has fluctuated between a high of
1,424 900 tons in 1921 and low of
| oil 900 tons in 1926.
The situation, of course, could be
worse. The avarice of the Western
sugar grower, who has for his spokes-
man such influential Legislators as
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, is
curbed' to some extent by the fact
that much of the Cuban sugar is
grown with American capital.

STARTS SEASON
Continued From Page One)

Mckinney, Worthy Wood, Just the
Guy, Harold Guy, Lou Chan, Prince
Mac and others.
McMillen is believed to have one OF
the best balanced racing stables in
the country this year and with the un-
canny ability of the London trainer to
get all and just little bit more out of
any horse he drives, railbirds are Of
the opinion that the London reinsman
will return to his winter quarters at
the London track this fall as one of
the leading race and money winners
of the year, if not at the top of the
line
Experts report that the McMillen
string is not only the largest public
stable, numbering 81 head, but is the
best conditioned lot of PAGERS and
trotters inspected in the midwest
this season. All are hard, rugged,
and fit, taking the steady lowering
of speed during the spring and early
summer in great style.
Worthy Wood, 2:02A, owned by
Harry Wood, Mechanicsburg, the
champion trotter of Ohio during the
past two years and winner of the
noted Pennsylvania at Lexington last
year, trained and handled by McMil-
len for the two great years, heads the
r 60 ahln n,1l 30. ~ he IN
mid-season form right now.
This great trotter was raised by his
owner, who has driven the racer, but
turned over to McMillen two years
ago. He is now seven years old and
was first raced as three year old He
is staked in practically every rich
event of the year in the central and
eastern states.
The leading record performer in the
stable is the speedy but unfortunate
Enoch Guy, 2:0112, a heat winner in,
the pacing derby at Kalamazoo two
years ago, but off the list for some
time. To date, the big gelding has
shown real class and trained to the
minute and McMillen hopes to bring
him back to the rich stakes this year.
Frederick Mckinney, 4, 2:03A, own
ed by Uncle Steve Phillips, 90-year- old
race horse owner, trainer and driver
of Lebanon, is one of the sparklers in
the McMiilen stable, the London
trainer having developed this son of
Arion Mckinney, owned now by Nc
Millen.
Just the Guy, 2:04A, another star
in the stable, has been staked in all of
the trotting events and looks fine.
Others in the McMillen stable ex-
pected to show their heels to the pack
in many of the grand circuit and other
race, meets Include Barney Google,
2:O3A, Twinkiing Joe, 2:O4A, Lou
Chan 2:O5A, and Prince Mac, 2:O5A,

In addition, the stable also numbers
