GOOD ROADS
GROUP HOLDS
MEET AT INDIO

Members of the Tourist and Con-
vention Bureau of Imperial Valley
drove to Indio last night to meet
with the people of Indio for dis
cussion of the routing of motorists
through Imperial Valley and to
accept formally the new Neon road
direction sign recently erected at
the junction of Highway u. S. SO
and the Indio-Blythe road by the
Ellis Neon company of Los An
geleS.
Dinner was served at the New
Hotel Indio, and representative
group of Indio residents met with
the valley group. w. A. Tondro,
pointed out in brief talk that by
routing traffic over the Indio-
Blythe route to Phoenix the people
of Indio were defeating their own
interests. While the Indio-Blythe
route now leaves Highway U. S. SO
at Indio, when the new road is
constructed by the state highway
department, it will leave Highway
SO north of Indio and Tondro
stated that it would be to the in
terest of the merchants of Indio to
see that all traffic possible is routed
south at this point, where 1t will
benefit Coachella and Imperial
valleys, rather than east, where
there are practically no California
cities to be benefited from passing
motorists.
The new sign, which stands just
to the right of the junction OF
these two roads was inspected by
M. o. Simms, chairman of the
Tourist and Convention Bureau
Already much favorable comment
has been heard concerning this
road direction sign and several sign
journals have carried descriptions
and photographs of it.
/ Purchased BY Valley
This sign was purchased and
erected with money paid by men,
bers of the Tourists and Conven-
ton Bureau in all parts of the val
ley, an organization originally
formed through the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce, and made
up of business men who are in di-
rect contact with the tourist traffic
coming through Imperial Valley.
Simms states that while the Coach
ella sign is paid for, with only
monthly upkeep to be met, members
of the bureau have decided to ex-
tend their activities and similar
sign is being planned for erection
in Phoenix as soon as sufficient
funds are available any any per-
sons interested in this promotion
work may take memberships in
/ the bureau or make donations at
Ell Centro chamber headquarters.
It is felt by those who attended
the dinner meeting in Indio last

To DECREASE
COTTON CROP

Cotton men throughout the val
ley accorded a favorable reception
to the idea of limiting the forth
coming seasons crop in accordance
with the government plan when
they met with Frank Beyschlag,
county agricultural agent. yester-
day afternoon at the county court
house.
AS a result of the meeting a COM
mittee comprising Charles w. An
derson of CaleXsco, A. II. Ross of
Seeley and r. E. Johnson Of I'm
perial will contact all cotton grow
ers in the valley before the harvest
ing season. The committee is auth
orized to check the acreageS of the
various growers who are willing to
accept the government limitation
contracts. They will also furnish es-
Inmates of the probable yield per
acre of all cotton land inspected.
When the government contracts
are signed the grower will keep a
copy, a second copy viii be filed
with the county farm advisor, and
the third forwarded to Berkeley to
the department of agriculture.
The committee will function fur
ther to see that growers carry out
their part of the bargain of reduc-
ing the cotton harvested and will
make affidavits regarding compen-
sation to be received by the grow
erS.
OF course there are some outside
factors entering into the situation
that may retard the acceptance of
these government agreements. FL
nance companies, which handle the
movement of the cotton crop pref
ty largely in the valley, were not
represented yesterday, but it is be-
lieved that such corporations will
not be likely to stand in the way
of the cotton reduction program.
Cotton gin services, predicated on
the possibility of a large crop 70
process, may be handicapped by the
reduction program, and that Is a
problem that is yet to be met.
However, word from the southern
states makes it clear that that por-
ton of the cotton area is sold on
the reduction plan and it is be-
lieved in most quarters that the gov
ernment will be successful in its
effort to withdraw 100000 acres
from production.

Smith Against
Recovery Plan

NEW YORK, June 80. UPj-The
national recovery act, ii its terms
are carried out, will cripple ini-
tiative, legalize and even officially
encourage monopoly, raise prices
and require higher tariffs to MAIN
tain the new structure" Alfred f.
Smith charges in an editorial in
the current issue of the New Out
look.
Smith said he did not see how
the plan could work.
The former governor predicted
that the little man will be lost in
the shuttle"
II do not want to see this land
of opportunity sink to dead level
in which we shall all be civil SER
wants, working under political con-
troll" he said. IF that happens, we
shall have sold our American birth
right for a mess Of Communistic
pottage."

1t was learned the British gov

Food Comes to Ant-Eater

THE ant-eater, excepting when he has to do
] a little digging now and then, has to exert
himself but little when he gets his dinner. The
usual method is to locate colony of ants and
then extend the long tongue in the midst or
in the path of the ants. The tongue IS coated
with a sticky substance, to which the ants
become caught When the tongue is properly
covered, it is drawn in by the ant-eater and
the first course Is over.
The forelegs Of the ant-eater are very strong
and are equipped with sharp claws, which aid
In digging when the ants are not sufficiently
accommodating to come to the surface TOR
