VALLEY DEMOCRATS HAVE EARS
TO GROUND FOR APPOINTMENTS

There is a persistent rumor tina:
q majority of the members of the
central committee will favor Eggle-
ston for this appointment. How
ever, there is some talk that Eggle-
ston may step into the postmaster
ship of Calexico and in that case he
would be eliminated from consider
alton as deputy marshal. Both
Cromer and Evans are highly rec
commended for the post and it may
be that either of these two will be
the nominee.
However, the members of the
committee feel that this is one ap-
pointment that should go to some
one outside of Ell Centro. 1t is ar
gued that since Utley and Nous
seau are both being given consid-
Grafton from Ell Centro the deputy
marshal post should go to some
other part of the county.
Mousseau, it appears, is in line
for the chief of the mounted GUS
toms patrol and should he decide
In favor of this position rather than
the Ell Centro poStmasterShip, the
next step will be Washington's ap-
proval.
In time numerous positions will
open up along the border in the
customs and immigration services.
Most of these are under the civil
service but, in all probability, any,
one hereafter named to these pos
itions will have to qualify as g. 10y
al Democrat. Among others entit-
led to consideration for appoint
ment to these positions are: Jack
Riodon, w. B. Ellis, G. E. Pen
nington, Jack Keep, Charles Muir
ply and many others.
There are about "a jobs along
the border under the office of the
collector of customs both in San
Diego and Imperial counties, most
of them, however, will go to resi-
dents of this county.
And, finally, much talk has
been heard of late Of F.. w. Greer
receiving an appointment in Wash
ington, D. c., under the secretary
of the interior.

LANDMARK To
BE EPRESERvED

Information has been received
at the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce to the effect that the Ole
Butterfield stage station, located
in Vallecios valley on the Imperial
Highway, is to be preserved ano
that Supervisor McMullen, of San
Diego, in whose district this inter-
eSting old landmark is situated
will see that it is taken care of.
Robert Hays, manager of the El
Centro Chamber, has had consid-
cradle correspondent on this SUBJ
ject with the San Diego l\:ori-
cal society and the San Diego
branch of the Native Sons of the
Golden West. Formerly in an out
of the way place, the old stage sta
ton had not attracted much at
tention and the people of San Die
go were apparently not aware that
it was in such state of preserva-
ton that most of the building is
still standing. With the opening OF
the Imperial Highway, which pass
es the station, many persons have
visited it, and, in order to protect
it from souvenir hunters, Hays has
urged that a roof be placed over 1t
and the entire building fenced in
The station was used in the
1850s and the adobe walls and
hand hewn beams, tied together
with rawhide, are still standing
Much of the interior plaster is also
intact, although visitors have
scratched names on it making the
walls unsightly. Near the station is
the tombstone of a pioneer who
was buried from the station. This
marble slab was brought out from
the east about 1867 on mule back.
While still standing, the headstone
has been used as target and bull
lets have marred it and on one
spot slightly cracked it. 1t is these
depredations which Hays seeks to
stop.
"All early journals of those who
travelled the Butterfield trail to
California in the days of the gold
rush mention the Vallecitos Stage
station, which was regarded as a
haven by the weary traveller who
had traversed the Colorado desert
for days. Situated in green mea-
dow at the foot of the Laguna
Mountains, with spring of fresh
water and green shade trees, the
sight of this building must have
given new hope to those discour-
aged by heat, hunger and thirst.
Hays says. Certainly the build
ing should be preserved and it is
gratifying that Supervisor McMuf'i
len is taking an interest in protec-
ting it, for although lying in San
Diego county, the Vallecitos sta
ton is closely connected with the
early history and present highway
development of the Colorado des-
ert and Imperial Valley"

Will Not Resume
German Boycott

BERLIN, April 4. (UP)-The anti
semitic boycott that closed Jewish
business houses throughout Ger
many Saturday, will not be resum-
ed tomorrow, a government state
ment said today
The government, the statement
said, was satisfied the defense ac-
ton had been successful"
"Atrocity propaganda has ceased
except for insignificant remnants" !"
the statement said. However,
there is no sense in combating
remnants by boycott inasmuch as
they are of Communist origin,
The boycott will not be resumed
because it would be superfluous
However, the Nazi organization
combating anti-German propa-
ganda will be maintained and will
immediately start the boycott il

the navy department.
As fast as word was received

THE AMERICAN VILLAGE

One phase of the rural trend of pop
ulation which has been almost over
looked is considered in monograph on
rural social trends just published by
former President Hoover's Committee
on Social Trends. That phase is the
steady growth of the rural villages.
Not all the population drift out of
the cities has been to the farms.
America has a larger sector of citi-
zens who cannot be classed as city
jewellers, nor yet as farmers. They
are, those who live in the small towns,
the tradesmen, the professional work.
ers, the common laborers. During the
years from 1920 to 1880, when the
strictly farming population was rapid
ly losing ground, the rural village
population steadily gained. In 1920
there were approximately 100000
Americans living in the villages. In
1880 this number had risen to 23,600,-
900. Meanwhile, the farms had lost
only 100000. So more than the
gain in village population came from
elsewhere than the surrounding FARMS
Since 1880 the upward trend of
farm population has more than made
up the losses during the 1920s. But
the migration has all been to the
farms. The villages have continued
to grow. And today more than one
quarter of the nations population
lives neither on the farm nor in the
cities, but in the villages, a point
which cannot be ignored in any So
cial planning for the future. The
American villages and village life are
major factors in any national prob
