With the musical top, which made
everyone fall asleep who heard it

through the woods back to his hol-

CONTRACTS FOR
RURIALS GIVEN
BORDER FIRM

Contract for the burial of the
county INDECENT dead was awarded
by the county supervisors this
morning to the Rugg Funeral Home,
CaleXico, at a cost to the county
of $3.75 for each burial
Awarding the contract followed
a discussion with several undertak-
ers relative TO the burial of in
digent dead. The county had been
operating under q contact OF one
cent per person for these burials
but it had been pointed out to the
supervisors that this contract was
illegal because it demanded that
the work be done at a price under
cost.
Rugg had made an offer of $3.50
for each INDECENT. Then C. Y.
Arnold, Ell Centro, entered a bid OF
SIS for each adult and $3.50 for
children which was followed by
Rugg' S second bid of $3.75 per per-
son regardless of age which was
accepted by the board.
The board passed resolution
calling the special state election
for December 10, and authorizing
the county clerk to make all nee
essary arrangements for the cleo
ton in the county.
County ordinance No. l07 which
forbids the taking or possessing ot
any pheasant within or without the
unincorporated territory of the
county was given its final approval
by the board this morning. This Or
dinance was decreed as an emer-
gency measure to protect the phea-
SAINTS which had been brought into
the county to aid in fighting grass
hopperS and other insect pests. The
ordinance carried penalties of $500,
six months in the county jail or
both, for infractionS.
The board adopted a resolution
endorsing the state retail sales tax
act and authorized the chairman to
sign the veterans memorial building
project at Holtville. Efforts are be-
ing made to secure R. F. G. fund.-
I'D labor for the construction of g
memorial building in Holtville.
Adjournment was voted until
Tuesday, November IA.

POULTRY MEN
HEAR REPORTS
ON INDUSTRY

Annual meeting and banquet of
the Sandia Poultry and Feed asso-
citation took place Monday night in
the civic center, Holtville, with w.
E. NeWlin, extension poultry eX-
pert, and members OF the San Di-
ego associations as guest speakers.
Newlin spoke on better egg pro- :
duction pointing out the factors
which enter into better production
and over which the producer can
control the price.
G. Keeney. representing the San
Diego association, spoke on the
progress made by the seven south
ern counties of California in regard
TO egg Standardization. He also dis
cussed the proposed marketing
agreement between egg producers.
w. Poggi, director of the San Di-
ego Cooperative Poultry Producers
association, discussed the outlook
from the producers standpoint.
On behalf of the local associa-
tons contract committee, Eldred
Ferguson reported on the contract
offered by Swift and Co. They will
pay IllltC CGIilo lCoo pei ttOACll blioil
the tops for all grades on the Los
Angeles market, but this year the
contract is for candled grades only.
Crates and transportation will be
furnished this year.
According to H. Lee Landerman,
assistant farm advisor and poultry
I specialist, several significant fact
ors were brought out in the discus
sions: Southern California no long
er exports eggs but is instead an
importer; furthermore Southern
California is user of the lower
grades rather than the better, and
! finally. a real danger to egg pro-
/ ducerS in California lies in the pro-
posed reduction of transportation
rates on eggs imported from the
middle west.
If the proposed rates are put in
/ TO effect the price of eggs will be
reduced from 2la to cents per
dozen and since the middle west Is
the center of the feed industry.
eggs may be produced for much
less than in other districts.
This morning NeWlin addressed
the Future Farmers of America at
a meeting held in the high school,
talking on the poultry outlook.
/ After this meeting NeWlin and
Landerman visited the Swift and
Co. grading plant in CaleXico and
the Dyer poultry ranch.

SUBMIT MANY
ENTRIES FOR
GRADE NAME.

Almost 200 names have been sub
mitted TO the FL Centro Chamber
of Commerce in the contest spon-
Sored by the Hotel Barbara Worth
and English Village Inn for a suit
able name for the highway which
trayerseS Mountain Springs area of
the San Diego mountains, accord
ing to Robert Hays, manager OF the
local chamber. Much interest has
been shown in this contest which
closes on November IA after which
date the managers of the two hotels
and Hays will choose the winners
and three prizes will be awarded.
The object of the contest is to
find a name with more value for
publicity purpose than Mountain
Springs grade, and particularly to
do away with the thought of
grade, which keeps many eastern
visitors from using this highway as
grade" implies steepness and a
dangerous road and it is difficult to
convince visiting motorists that
this road is safe and easily traVer-
sible. The committee plans to COM
bine the winning name with
gorge, which can be used effect
lively in publicity as has been DEM
strated by the Royal Gorge in Col
orado and Carriso Gorge near ia
cumba.
Hays reports that many interest
ing names have been received, some
descriptive of the area around
Mountain Springs, others with his
torical interest. Spanish and In
dian names have also been receiv-
ed and seem particularly appropri-
ate for this region. 1t is not plan
ned to merely choose a name which
sounds agreeable. The name chos-
en- must have a meaning or at least
suitability for this region and be
adapted to publicity purposes.
with so many names already
received and three more days for
the contest to run there is no CUES
ton about a suitable name being
presented by one of the many con-
testantS," stated A. F.. Miller of the
Barbara Worth hotel today. MANY
of the names suggested are partic-
ularly well suited to this highway
and the judges will have no little
trouble in deciding on the winning
names. Suggestions made have in
most cases not been haphazard
and most of the names have been
submitted after considerable
thought and study and in many
instances by persons who seem to
have a thorough knowledge of the
early history of the Mountain

HEARST INCONSISTENCY

What appears to be an alarming incon-
sistency in the Hearst organization, is
exposed in Tuesdays issue of the Los
Angeles Examiner carrying a cartoon en-
titled The Menace of One Bad Apple,
showing Uncle Sam and a citizen very
much alarmed because one bad apple has
been found in the NRA barrel, threat
ening all the other good little apples with
corruption and decay.
Beneath the cartoon is 4 brief but
forceful article emphasizing the neces-
sity of loyalty on the part of all to the
NRA.
All of us, it points out, cannot be eX-
pected to believe in every jot and little
of the NRA program but We are all in
one big boat and it won't pay to scuttle
the boat, or we will all go down togeth
er.
Lets give the NRA a chance" the
article implores. I'm other words, let's
give ourselves a real chance. We all
need It."
Strange words indeed to be appearing
in a Hearst paper after the broadsides
fired at the NRA and the entire recov-
cry program last week by the master of
the Hearst organization.
In view of William Randolph's tir-
ade one wonders if a cartoonist member
of his organization has taken good
chance to slam his boss and get away
with it, or, if in his ignorance, he doesn't
know that the master has decided the
NRA is "the bunk.
Will the wisdom of the cartoon and its
accompanying article be Sufficient to
show the master the error of his ways,
or will there be an opening in the Hearst
organization for new cartoonist and
editorial writer?
