Five new members are en-

Elva tells us that all five
of the new members are at

picture of Eleanor Nyman but,
unfortunately, it was not clear
enough to make a newspaper
cut so we had to return it.
We hope she will send us an
other one.
Here is a nice long letter
from Peggy Lucille Kemp, 914

I visited you at The Washing.

haven't seen our names in the

Peggy said in her letter that
she was sending us a picture
but we couldn't find it. We hope
she does because we would hate
to have it lost. And we need
pictures. Good ones, Of course,
because we can't make cuts
from bad ones.

"You don't believe me2" she
blazed. For the first time he
beheld physical evidence Of that
strength which he had sus-
pected only recently. Her eyes
had been tender or amused in
the past, but he had never seen
them flash this way.
"Of course I do," he assured
her. But why did you go to
Crelliman's penthouse?"
Soft But Firm
IT telephoned him." she sur
prisingly answered. IT told him
that I wanted to see the scene
Of the murder. I told him that
I wanted to hear and see all
evidence. I said that as Toms
fiancee 7 had a right to know
everything. I asked him if he
wouldn't call for NE and take
me there. He did. I told him
that, unhappily, I was practic-
ally convinced that Tom had
not broken completely with
Mimi Montague and that he
had killed her, but that I didn't
want to be unjust. I thought
that this attitude would help to
convince him that you were out
of the case.

the porch and show me where

even rehearsed the killing. Then

THAT would have been as

His voice died away. Sue,
delicate, fragile little Sue, arm
ing herself with a popgun,
thinking herself safe with such
a puny weapon OF defense!
And she'd have used it, too.
Was this the helpless creature
whom he had loved so long?
Helpless! She was far from
that. True, her weapon might
have been valueless, but the
spirit that animated her might
have proved dangerous to any,
one.
What happened?" he de-
manded.
The man told me that he
wanted you to withdraw from
the case. He said that you had
some crazy idea that Tom had
Mt killed Mimi Montague. He
said he didn't mind your ideas,
but that certain people didn't
want their recent activities in
VeStigated. He said you would
stumble over matters that
would cause trouble to lot of
men engaged in what he called
'rackets.' He told me that you
hated Jim Crelliman, ana that

you'd use this opportunity to
get Crelliman into trouble. He
said you were Gazzotti's lawyer,
and that Gazotti had been try
ing for a long time to put
Crelliman out of business, and
this looked like a good chance.
''Don't You See?"
HE said you had no in
tention of helping Tom; that
this was simply an opportun-
ity for you to discover things
about Crelliman's business
that you could give to the po-
lice or to the Federal author
tiles. He said that he was
sorry to have to tell me that
my fiance was a murderer
which I thought was sweet Of
him-but that it was a clear
case as I myself must realize.
He said that unless you got out
of the case you'd be killed. And
then he took me home"
Durant stared at her. There
wasn't any question but that
she told the exact truth. Only
why had she gone to Crelli-
mans apartment?

I was a Scoundrel, and that
was trying to put Tom in the

weep: I told him that the evi"

knew Tom was guilty. And I
had him take me home, and
then I came over here. I came
to tell you that I know Tom
couldn't have killed her, and to
ask you to take the case again"
Again? Did you think I'd
dropped it? Do you honestly
think you've fooled Crelliman?
He knows I'm in the case, and
in it to stay. He even tried to
bribe me this morning. He tried
to have me killed tonight. Sue,
you've been a little idiot. I sup
pose your intentions were all
right, but will you, from now
on, watch your step? Will you
do as tell you? When I take

DISTRICT ELECTION NEXT WEEK

NEXT Wednesday the Imperial Irriga-
~ tion District holds an election for di-
rectors, which, of course, is of interest
to the entire valley, and locally is of par
ticular interest to that portion of Ell Cen
tro included in the first, or CaleXico di-
vision.
Changes made last year in the dis
trict's division boundaries places that
portion of Ell Centro west of Eighth
street in the CaleXico division. Split
ting the vote of a city in this manner
may not be very desirable, but it has
been done and at present there seems to
be nothing to do about it but accept the
conditions.
Three candidates have filed for the
office of director from the first dlvis-
ion, John l.. Dubois, president of the
board of directors, who seeks reelection;
Evan T. Hewes and r. D. Lane.
Dubois was elected director last year
in the recall election which removed 1.
w. Brockman from the board of direc-
tors. He is a rancher, has been active
for years in the affairs Of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau, and at the time
of his election was its president. Fol
lowing his election he was made presl-
dent of the board of directors.
DUBOIS mas the respect oI ali WIZ
know him and from the standpoint OF
fairness alone should be given more time
to demonstrate his ability to service as
director. The past year has been hec-
tic one with the attention of the board
centered chiefly upon the All-American
canal contract and the districts econ
omy program. He has worked in har-
mony with the other directors and has
presided over the boards meetings in an
able manner.
Like Dubois, Hewes is also rancher
and has also been active in the affairs
of the farm bureau, succeeding Dubois
as its president, an office which he holds
at present He is high type Of citizen,
capable and efficient as an executive,
with fine record for public service.
Both Dubois and Hewes have consls-
tently supported the All-American canal
and are anxious to have this work started
with the least possible delay. 1t is up
to the voters of the first division to de-
eide which of these two men will repre-
cent them on the board after February 1.
R. D. Lane, the third candidate, Is a
storekeeper and rancher at Mt Signal:
A study of his platform fails to reveal
any constructive ideas or the balance es-
sential in one seeking an executive office.

Nurse Jane under her whiskers, for
she had whiskers like a pussy cat.
"Ill do the vacuuming for you.

after Mrs. Longears had gone down
to the and 6 cent store to buy a
new automobile, Nurse Jane put or
her bonnet and went shopping

ator Huey P. Longs apparel is as

sombre cutaway to suit Of spot

however, has he worn one OF his

A most amazing of the Kingfish's

emblazoned in gold cloth Is a
grinning tigers head pierced by a
letter 81" more than a foot high.
The sweater is identical with

ASKS AID FOR
SCOUT DRIVE

Now that Ell Centro's drive for
Boy Scout funds is under way, the
community will be asked to make
sound investment in the future
generation, not to make donations,
according to Charles o. Barratt,
district finance chairman.
Since there are no Fairgrounds,
and few other facilities for recrea-
ton for boys in this area, Barratt
believes that Scouting offers the
people of Ell Centro a special op-
portunity for the proper training
of boys in this community.
Regarding Scouting as related
to "the depression" Barratt stated
Under conditions of economic
stress the Boy Scout program is
even more necessary than in pros
porous times. One of the results of
the depression is that recreation
has changed both in amount and
in kind. With the large number
OF unemployed in every commun-
lty it has been necessary to provide
recreational activities to prevent
the decentralization of human rela-
tions and social standards.
Rather than declare a mora
torium on the moral and spiritual
growth of children, let us accept

Mrs. Longears are out and see if
you'll have any better luck catch

Il Will" promisd the Wolf. "I'll

low stump bungalow right away. I
know all the little rabbits have
gone to school. If l see Mrs. Long
ears and Nurse Jane go out I'll
sneak in and catch Uncle Wiggily." "

Bob Cat, twiddling his silly little

Wolf. IF I try and then get fooled
it's time enough to snicker."

chuckling: "Ha! Ha! Hal"

Operator OF Gun
Club Found Guilty

Found guilty in Judge U. E.
Bailey's court in Westmorland yes
terday afternoon of violation of the
commercial gun club act of the
state fish and game laws, j. r..
Hunter was sentenced this after
noon to pay, a 500 fine or serve
one day in Jail for each So of the
fine.
Hunter, who said he had been an
attorney for 25 years and prose-
cutor for six years, was his own
counsel at the trial conducted in
Judge Bailey's court before six
jurors.
Testimony at the trial was to the
effect that he had been operating
gun club in the Salton Sea area
without the necessary license. Hun
ter contended he was not operating
commercial club and thus did
not need a license.
r. I. French of the district at
torney's office represented the
state. The case was transferred TO
the .Westmorland court from Judge
r. r. Jones court'at inland.
