That this district should have a
representative on the farm loan
board and that such appointment
should be made when and if the
President makes any changes on
this board, was the conviction ex-
pressed by C. E. Mead, field repre-
sentative of the California Joint
Stock Land Bank at a meeting of
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
held in the court house Saturday
afternoon.
The speaker pointed out the many
advantages accruing to ranchers in
the valley should it be possible. to
secure this representation and urged
his listeners to bend their efforts
towards the consummation of this
idea. At the conclusion of his re-
marks he answered many questions
dealing with the matter of obtain
ing financial loans from the land
bank, as we'll as from the govern
ment.
A contemplated change in the by
laws of the farm bureau relative
To the election of its board of di-
rectors and particularly of directors
at large was submitted to the meet
ing and was subjected to a thor
ough discussion. While the organ
lzation is functioning very we'll at
present and there will be no cleo
ton until the close of the current
year, those present felt that this
discussion was not out of season.
1t was pointed out that such a
change had been brought up for
consideration previously and that
for that reason it should be given
much thought.
On motion it was finally decided
that the chairman should appoint
committee to consider the pro-
posed change and report back to
the bureau at subsequent meeting
at which time definite action will
be taken.
Consideration was then given a
bill recently introduced in the state
legislature calling for the consoli-
dation of all school districts in the
county in the high school district.
Fear was expressed that, were this
bill to pass, city tax rates would be
lowered and those in the country
districts raised. 1t was also point
ed out that were the rural schools
to be closed the farmers would lose
many of their meeting places and
also their representation on the
school boards.
After much discussion the bu-
reau went on record as being op-
posed to this bill and the secretary
was instructed to communicate
with the state senator and assem-
blyman to that effect.
Two other bills were then dis
cussed, both having been intro
duced iby State Senator Ben Hulse
The first, requiring that all high

.HULSE BILL
APPROVED BY
FARM BUREAU

Two bills affecting taxation of
particular interest to Imperial coun-
ty taxpayers were endorsed by the
Imperial County Farm Bureau
board of directors at their meet
ing Saturday.
5. b. 996, introduced by Senator
Ben HulSe, provides that all nay-
ments for highway and road dis
trict bonds, both principle and in
terest, now being assessed against
property, shall be paid out of the
states share of the gasoline tax
fund. This bill if passed. would
relieve Imperial county property
taxpayers of a levee for payment
OF highway and road district bonds
amounting to approximately, $193,-
700 yearly, supporters claim. I'm
der this arrangement the roads
would be paid for by those who use
them, instead of by the already ov-
erburdened property taxpayer. 1t
has been determined that these
payments could be made from the
gasoline tax fund without seriously
effecting the amounts available for
highway construction and mainten-
ance.
S. B. SGT, also by Senator Hulse,
reduces the excessive penalties now
charged on deliquent taxes. These
penalties are so severe now that it
is almost impossible for the delin-
quent taxpayer to ever catch up,
directors believe. UI<er this. bill
all penalties would be eliminated
excepting the original penalty on
delinquent date. Only interest would
be charged thereafter. 1t is felt
that this change would permit
much property now delinquent to
get back on the tax roll.
The board voted to oppose assem-
bly, bill 897 by Feigenbaum, consol-
idating all elementary school dis
tricts into high school districts.
This bill, apparently would in
crease the levy for schools in the
rural districts, the farm bureau
feels.

U. $. Medical Expert Survives Mysterious Malady
 to Find the Only "1OOP Per Cent American Disease

we'll rahbits-and the healthy rab- bits became sick and died.
 Mayne came down with fever. Francis went back to Washington and found Dr Gregory Lake, who had been in charge of the tulere- mic guinea pigs here, in the hos pital--a supposed typhoid case.
 ---DIsEAsE SPREADS
 By the time Lake was up and around, Francis was comparing the blood of tularemia victims with that of persons who had never had the disease. The two men happened to contribute their own blood to those experiments. It was only then that by the different test results they realized they had tularemia themselves.
 But how come? Neither had ever been bitten by a deer-fy. So they plunged into hundreds of new experiments to find out how they had contracted 1t.
 Soon six laboratory helpers, who had had to do with infected rab- bits, were in the hospital with tularemia. Thereupon Francis poured a drop of tularemia on guinea pigs shaved back and soon that pig joined thousands of pre- vious martyrs to science.
 WIDESPREAD STUDY
 The Lister Institute of London sent for some sample germs to play with. Soon British scientists be- gan to catch tularemia. Those experiments ceased.
 Next, about the time Francis was finding out that lice and bugs could carry the disease, a Wash ington physician who had read of his experiments reported local butcher who had felt painful lump under his arm and who de- scribed his ailment as rabbit fever" The complaint was com- inonly known and dreaded by men in the market who cut up rabbits, this butcher said.
 Spurred on to his final big dis covery. Francis collected 1000 rabbit flyers and found 10 of them spotted with tularemia. For the first time he realized how wide- spread an affair tularemia must be.
 Livers and tubes of blood from suspected victims were ordered from many states. Tularemia has since been found in all states out side New England.
 Three members of western Virginia family died after eating under-done rabbit meat and the mother was suspected of poison plot. Francis proved they had d1ed of tularemia.
 After a study of six years, Fran cis was able to report that tulare- mia could be avoided by use of rubber gloves in handling rabbits. Proper cooking destroys the germs. Hunters were advised to shoot only healthy, active hares.
 AUTHORITY ON DISEASE
 Francis is the grand old man" of U. s. F. H. s. and Is frequently consulted on broad questions of policy. Ills judgment is usually quick and sure.
 Tularemla offers the single in- stance in which American inves- tigators alone have discovered a disease of man, isolating it's causa- tive agent, determining its sources of infection and modes of trans- mission, describing its pathology and elucidating a complete knowl- edge of the disease.
 All the medical literature on tularemia had been produced by Edward Francis.

Hawaiian Island
 "Gibraltar" Of U. s.
Oahu Has Cost Government Millions Annually-New
 Roads Constructed

battle for these islands. When the last strategic point has been de- termined, thousands of sailors pour into Honolulu to spend thou sands of dollars in the hotels, theaters, restaurants and other forms of amusement that the is- lands offer the fleet.
 Over new roads, constructed with an eye to military mobility, tanks, anti-aircraft guns, motor transports and troops stream, making the moon-lit tropic nights hideous and ominous-but dollars roll into the territory for new roads in foresight of the day when they may be of more value than an access to points of beauty.
 Pearl Harbor, with its huge oil tanks built by Doheny, is the greatest natural naval base in the United States and contribute annually to the payrolls of the islands and to island commerce through it's dry docks, shops, huge oil storage tanks, ammunition de- pots and naval air station.
 The work of creating Pearl Harbor began in 1894 when con- gross appropriated $100,000 for dredging operations. Some forty eight millions of dollars have been expended since with $100,000, 900 required to complete the program.
 In addition to naval forces Hawaii houses the greatest single military unit of any post in the United States. Here Uncle Sam maintains his only complete divi- sion. Some 15,000 soldiers swarm over the huge island post known as Schofield barracks and the other Notifications of the islands.
 Honolulu is their Mecca. They must be fed. Barracks must be maintained. Personne1 must be en- tertaiend.
 There has been much talk of the possibility of military govs ernment in Hawaii. Naval and army authorities do not, they res iterate, want to govern these is- lands but they desire a change (not publicly but privately which would place military operations In more favorable position should the defense of America in the Pacific become necessary.
 Army and navy leaders frankly place little trust In Hawaiis large civilian population made up pri- niarily of those of Japanese an- cestry or birth.
 In addition to public "doubts'' the military privately for years has had outright suspicious and watched developments In the is- lands as they related to the in- creasing strength of the Japanese.
 Others see nothing alarming In the situation and maintain that the Japanese of Hawaii have given every possible indication of loyalty to Uncle Sam.
