of the 1895 state convention OF the

The 1884 convention of the asso-

when the Imperial Valley delega-
ton threw its support to Sacra-
mento for next year, there was
unanimous accord that the con-
ventlon come to Imperial Valley the
year after. DR.. Dupont, who holds
the rank of lieutenant, was a NOM
Der of the time and place COM
mittee and, before leaving to at
tend the convention this year, he
consulted chamber of commerce di-
rectors and staff and secured a
promise of cooperation by the cham
Der in bringing the convention here
and in entertaining it's members
should Ell Centre and Imperial VAL
ley be selected as the next meeting
place.
Assisting DR.. Dupont in obtaining
the pledge of the officers for the
1885 convention were Capt. Charles
P. Dclp, Lieut.. H. o. Thompson,
Lieut.. H. E. Salley and DR.. Fred
Gregg, also holding the rank of
lieutenant.
The San Diego delegation voted
solidly for Imperial Valley, in fact
the coast city favored holding the
1884 convention in this neighbor-
ing community. Colonel Erickson,
senior vce-president of the asso-
citation, of San Diego, sincere
friend of Imperial Valley, is eX-
pected TO throw his support to I'M

ton.

HATTON SAYS
TIRE PRICES
TO INCREASE

Taking advantage of what will!
probably be the last opportunity to
obtain Firestone tires at the pre-
vailing low prices, Bob Hatton, of
Hatton's garage at Sixth and
Broadway, has stocked a complete
assortment Of Firestones, which are
offered the motoring public at crE-
rent prices.
While several other tire companies
have advanced prices, Firestone has
not done so, Hatton states, but adj
vice he has received from the man
ufacturers indicates that an adj
vance is due in the near future.
at will be wise buying to get a
new set of tires now" he said.
Many cars are equipped with tires
which have been doing duty for the
past two years and the owners can
not possibly hope to have them
hold up through the summer
months when they drive their cars
more than at any other period OF
the year.
"By taking care Ct this matter
now car owners will not have to
face a jump in tire prices which is
certain TIC occur before the year is
much ol6er."
Hatton has been in business in
the valley for the past Is years and
is well known to the automobile
trade.
Car owners are invited 10 drop in
and inspect the Firestone line and
discuss arrangements for getting
a new set of tires.

TAX EASING
BY MELVIN LORD
limited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

SACRAMENTO, May 8. Especial
to The Press)-A definite reduction
of the tax load on real property is
claimed by proponents of the Riley
Stewart tax plan which has been
passed by the legislature and will
be submitted to the people at q
special election in June.
Under terms of the measure, all
operative property, such as railroads
and gas and electric companies,
will be returned to local tax rolls.
This property. valued at 1888, 035,-
802 in recent years has been taxed
for state purposes only.
According to a compilation by the
state board of equalization the plan
will permit the return of utility
property valued at $12, 422, 009 to the
local tax rolls of Imperial county.
AS result it was explained, this
will give the county a broader tax
base and the rate may be lowered.
This particular provision, how
ever, will not be effective until
January, 1885.

Phone Operator
VIII Get Medal

Credited with saving a life, Mrs.
Grayce Tarrant, Culver City eve
ming telephone operator, will re-
ceive a Theodore N. Vail bronze
medal, one of the few presented an
nually by the Bell system to tele-
phone employees in the Pacific
coast region who have rendered
noteworthy public service. Castor
L. Floux, San Jose equipment at
tendant. was similarly honored.
The Culver City operator was
singled out from among thousands
of fellow employees for her good
Judgment, initiative and resource
fulness which is believed 10 have
saved the life Of Miss Cordelia Ba-
ker, Culver City. One night last
November, Mrs. Tarrant noted that
a woman calling had a strangely
weak voice She later noticed that
the woman failed 10 hang UP the
telephone receiver when her con-
versation had finished. Mrs. Tar
rant, whose IA years of service at
the switchboaris helped her to
sense something was wrong, imme-
diately had the wire chief put the
"howler" tone On the woman's tele-
phone receiver. This failed to get
any response. The operator then
called the number Miss Baker had
called. She found it to be the
woman's physician, who rushed to
his patients residence, found her
suffering from the effects Of an
overdose of medicine, and, after
hours of effort, finally revived her.

every WE'LL" spoke Mr.. Longears
resigned-like and patient. He hoped
on the way down hill, rolling the
bologna sausage tire, he might get
a chance to fool the Fox and get
away.
Uncle Wiggily picked up the
stick. At first he had an idea he
might bang the Fox on the nose
with the hoop stick, but it was too
small. The Fox wouldn't mind it
any more than if a fly tickled him.
Come on!" called the rabbit all
of a sudden as he started to roll
the round bologna auto tire. you'll
have to run fast to keep up to me,
Mr.. Fox"
ooh, I can do that all right"
sneered the Bad Chap. 'I can run
as fast as you," and Uncle Wiggily
knew this to be true. But what
kind of hoop have you there?"
asked the Fox.
"It's an old bologna sausage tire
from my auto" answered the rab-
bit gentleman.
"Ha! Sausage!" growled the Fox.
I'm very fond of sausage. I'll have
bite before you do any hoop roll
ing as you call it,"
"Well, don't take too big bite,
begged Uncle Wiggily. eff you do
the sausage hoop twill come apart
and I can't roll il"
"I'll bite as much as I please, u
growled the Fox impolitely. He
made a jump for Uncle Wiggily
but all of a sudden the bunny
thought of trick to play. Picking
up the round sausage tire Mr.. Long
ears threw it at the Fox. 1t caught
around the legs of the Bad Chap
and tripped him up so that he
fell on his nose and banged it hard
"Ha! Ha!' laughed Uncle Wiggily
as he ran away down the hill
while the Fox was trying to un-
tangle his legs. IT hoped the Fox
all right. Hal Hal Rolling hoop
isn't the same as hopping roll
But it is almost the same as hoop
ing a Fox" And so Mr.. Longear;

Scout 'Jan1boree'
Set For August
IN a scene 6onrMEH MUST FIGHT
By RODNEY HANSON

The world "jamboree' for Boy
Scouts will be held on August 2 at
Godollo, Hungary. This will be the
fourth international "jamboree."
But what are these jamborees,
and why, and how were they
started?
In 1916 the Chief Scout, Sir Rob-
ert Badeb-Powell, suggested that
preparations be made for a real
celebration of Scouting's tenth an
niversary in 1918. Scouts of the
world were invited to London where
81 nations answered.
The "jamboree" has been held
every fourth year since.
Godollo is small town Of $4,000
inhabitants and with history a
mile long. Scouts will gather in
historical parks and spend the days
from August to August is.
Each country will set up its own
camp. The program will be in
charge of the camp chief, Count
Pau! Teleky, former prime minister
and honorary Chief Scout of Hun
gary.
The Scouts will leave America In
small groups under able, adult lead
erS.
The "jamboree," with its thou
sands of friendships among boys
from all parts of the world will be
thrilling experience.
Any Scout interested in going to
the "jamboree" can find out all
necessary information about the
trip by ealing at the Scout office.
Mrs. Lounsbury has all necessary
data on the "jamboree.

MASSACHUSETTS authorities are to
M be commended for the quick solution
of the McMath kidnapping case, culmin-
ating in the arrest of the two brothers
involved in the plot, the return of the
ransom money, and most important of
ALL the safe return of the kidnapped
child
The "Old Bay State showed effic-
iency and speed in getting on the right
track. Now if it will keep up the good
work and send the kidnapers where they
belong, for a long period of time, it will
be entitled to greater praise.
There should be, and doubtless is, lit
tie sympathy for the accused men. They
we'll knew the horror resulting from
previous kidnapings and refused to be
guided by it. In their desire for money
they were willing to make others suf-
fer grievously. They will have no reason
to ask for mercy and none should be eX-
tended to them. A miserable pair they
are, who make even opponents of capital
punishment regret that penalty cannot
be meted out to them.

that anxious nations have begun COL

there nevertheless were signs that ma

come a new era of responsible individ-
ualism.
People are beginning to understand
the challenge to democracy" he said,
expressing the hope that out of the
gigantic efforts being made now at
Washington might come new economic
system.
In any event. he said, I'VE are on the
verge of a great change. 1t may be for
the better or it may be worse. The peo-
pie will find a way to hold in check
the new powers granted government and
steer between the alternatives of ir-
responsible individualism and commun-
