NRA PROGRAM
PRESENTED AT
LIONS MEETING

Both national and local phases of
the NRA were discussed at Lions
club luncheon today and the whole
session was devoted to a consider
alton of the great national move
ment toward recovery.
The national phases were dis
of the many different acts passed
as part of the program The acts
all dovetail, he said, and the whole
thing will not work unless all parts
work.
1--WE are not called upon to cri-
ticize the various acts but are ask
ed by the President to do our part, "
said Small. THE orders of an army
general must be obeyed even though
the men in the ranks do not know
why he wishes certain things done.
We are in the same position as the
men in the ranks and must all do
our part so the whole program will
be a success"
Local aspects of the NRA we're
explained by R. P. Moore, who COM
mended the enthusiasm of local
residents and their willingness To
follow orders.
Everyone wants to know what
they can do" Moore said. land the
thing for every consumer to do is
sign the cards to purchase only
from employers who are display
ing the NRA cards. Employers must
pledge to do their part. Sign and
live up to the pledge on the cards
and the recovery program will
work"

CONSUMERS URGED TO SIGN UP
PLEDGE CARDS WITHOUT DELAY

Every man, woman or child who
buys anything, owes it to himself
and his community and to the
nation, to buy from those who have
taken the increased burden of in
creasing pay rolls to bring back
prosperity. Every consumer should
sign the consumers pledge" stat
ed DR.. r. G Clemons, chairman
of the consumers NRA campaign
in Ell Centro today.
Through the cooperation of the
American Legion Auxiliary DR.,
Clemons has been able to have
tables placed in front of the local
theatres and at ball games and
public gatherings, where the public
may sign consumers cards. In ad-
dition stations have been designat-
ed where these cards may be OBJ
tanned. Every individual in Ell Cen
tro has been urged to sign a pledge
card, stating that he will buy from
those stores where the blue eagle
is displayed, and the sooner this
is done the sooner FL Centro will
be operating under the Presidents
unemployment plan and business
conditions will improve.
r. j. Kliegel, director general of
the campaign, stated today that
some persons have complained that
the NRA is not yet putting people
to work in this community and that
there have been violations of the
agreement. In answer Kliegel stated
today People are being put to
work in Ell Centro and there is no
question that before October ar
rives hundreds of positions will
have been created in this city. AS
for enforcement of the agreement
the enforcement comes through
the buying public. If every consum-
buy only where the blue eagle is
displayed it stands to reason that
every business house will find it
necessary to display the blue eagle
if business is to continue. That is
why the NRA staff urges the pledge
be taken seriously and lived up to,
because there is no enforcement
agency as strong as public opinion
and General Johnson is depending
upon public opinion throughout
the United States to help put the
national recovery program over
successfully
Speakers are daily explaining the
NRA program at local theatres
and over the radio, under the
direction Of R. P. Moore These
men on the speakers staff have
donated their time gladly to as
sist in making the local drive a
success and it is believed that be-
fore the speakers campaign is
ended every citizen of this conmun-
iyt will understand the part he is
to play and be ready to play it.

THREE STATES VOTING TODAY
ON REPEAL OF PROHIBITION

] popular vote in that year was TO
783 for prohibition, against 23,8l1.
In the following decades, Maine
was not entirely dry. The speak
easy was not eliminated and bar
in Portland boasted it had nca
closed its doors in % years nor sold
liquor at higher prices than it
brought in Boston.
West Indian rum, imported from
Boston, flowed freely and no one
ever disapproved of hard cider This
situation continued until 1905 when
the Strugis law was enacted. Home
brewing was permitted in rural dis
tricts, but the urban speakeasy was
outlawed Five years later the Law
was repealed and a wet admins
tration put the prohibition clause
in the state constitution to a ref
erendum. The clause won by only
758 votes in the entire state.
National prohibition followed too
soon for vets to gazing further head
way. But in the election last fall
the Anti-Saloon league was dealt a
heavy blow. A wet Democratic gov
ernor and three wet congressman
were elected.

DENVER, Sept. IL. U.R)-Wets to-
cay appeared to be rolling up a
large majority in Colorado IS repeal
election-but prohibitionist leaders
asserted their opponents were viol-
ating voting laws and using unfair
tactics in seeking to swell the re-
peal total.
In Denver, the dry forces protest.
cd vigorously to the board of cleo
ton commissioners against what
they said were crank violations of
election laws.'
They charged specifically, that
the repeal forces were using marked
ballots, showing a big black arrow
pointing toward the circle at the
top of the ballot which should be
crossed for blanket wet vote. These
ballots, they alleged, were found on
the judges desks at several polling
places.
Election officials said they would
take immediate action to have such
slmple ballots removed and to pre-
vent any further violations of elec-
ton codes.

sign and operation of boat lines and waterways.
II would be impossible within the space of this
article to list all of the projects which stand
as enduring monuments to the engineer corps
Of the army, but here are some of their out
standing achievements
The Panama canal-At first II was under the
control of civilian engineers but the men who
conquered difficulties which seemed almost In.
superable ana pushed through to a triumphant
conclusion the greatest engineering project the
world has ever seen were army engineers. In
the minds of Americans there will forever be
associated with the lame of the Panama canal
the name of an army engineer, Col. George w.
Goethals, who organized the work, solved COM
pllcated engineering problems and problems Of
supply, personnel and finance and completed
the construction Of the canal ahead OF the esti-
mated time.
The work was organized in three divisions
as follows: the Atlantic division under Sibert
where was built the Gatun dam, the worlds
largest earth dam, and the Gatun locks, also
the worlds largest; the Pacific division under
Williamson, which included three locks of the
same size but requiring less concrete; and the
Central division under Gaillard, which included
the Culebra (now Gaillard) cut, the worlds
largest single excavation.
The total cost of the Panama canal was S370.-
100000. The total amount of concrete placed
was 100000 cubic yards, the equivalent of a
wall 8 feet high and 3 feet wide running clear
across the continent, from New York to San
Francisco. The total excavation work was 240-
100000 cubic yards.
Another big Job which the army engineers
did and did with their accustomed thorough
ness was In connection with the American Ex-
peditlonary Force In the World war. Under the
leadership of Langhtt, Taylor, Patrick and Jad-
win, here are some Of the enormous engineer
ing problems of construction and supply which
the corps was called upon to solve: the build
ing of OCT miles of railways; the construction
Of 600 miles of light railways and the operation
Of 1000 more miles Of the same class; the
maintenance and repair of 1,750 miles of roads:
building and operating 107 lumber mills, pro
ducing ties, poles, cord wood and over 100000
board feet Of lumber per day erection Of 10000
barracks, equivalent TO 81 miles and providing
space for 100000 beds In hospitals, OF which lat
miles of wards were new construction build

OF 500 acres under roof; building wharves the

Sugar cane has played a leading
role in the development of New Or
leans since the early Jesuit settlers
produced the first successful crop.
1t was on this plantation above the
city, that Etienne de Bore, the father
of the sugar industry, succeeded in
granulating sugar in 1895. Today
the city wharves are crowded with
shipments of sugar, cotton, rice. and
furs; while incoming freighters un-
load cargoes of bananas, coffee, and
mahogany.
Like many Netherlands town,
New Orleans has literally had a
struggle TO keep its head above wa
ter. Except for its levees, the en-.
tire city is below high water mark,
and much of it is below Lake Pont-
chartrain. To fight the continually
heavy rains, an elaborate drainage
system has been perfected, equipped
with pumps capable of lifting 1000
100000 gallons day. In the emer-
gency of the 1927 flood, the city was
saved from inundation only by blast
ing the levee 10 miles downstream,
thereby sacrificing land in the ad-
jacent parishes at a cost to the city
of approximately $5,000,000.

Having closed the door, he said TO

Colin foresaw in these orders a

pairs of stockings knit by her own
hands. saying. MY boy. you look as

With Pat in Boston, the prospect
of a bombardment of the city was
not to his liking, but be was sworn
to do his best for the Great Cause
There could be no turning aside.
So he rode on ahead of the sleigh
and when as night was falling he
drew rein at a tavern and the hos
tier took his mare, they were thir-
ty-fve miles out on the road to
the west. Driving snow in the air
and deep snow in the road delayed
them so that nearly week had
passed before they met the caravan
toilirg over the high hills. There
were fifty OK teams and as many
stout sledges in the train. The
heavy guns were roped on the
sledges. Colin and his comrades
faced about and gave their atten-
