|REL|EF WORK
WILL START.
IMMEDIATELY
Drought Aid And T. B. Eradi-
cation Programs To Get Under
Way Tomorrow.

Start of the programs for bovine
tuberculosis eradication and drought
relief in the county was set for
tomorrow following a meeting be-
tween DR.. w. B. Howe, of the
federal department of agriculture,
bureau of animal industry and the
board of supervisors at the court
house this morning. Howe arrived
here last night accompanied by
Drs. w. w. Worcester and F. E.
Allen.
The entire program was discussed
at this mornings meeting and the
board then passed the emergency
ordinance which declares the
county to be a voluntary control
area so that the tuberculosis erad-
ication program might be put into
effect.
When the subject of eradication
was brought TO the attention of
the supervisors a short time ago
they were informed that it would
be necessary to pass the ordinance
declaring the county control area
in order to receive the benefit of
the federal program. e
An answer was made that the
board was prepared to enact this
ordinance and all regulations nee
essary to give full effect to the
grogram as soon as they were as
sured the government would guar
antee the indemnities outlined in
the original setup.
Word was received here Saturday
that the county had been declared
a drought area county eligible to
receive federal assistance and it
was thought best that the two pro-
grams should work hand in hand.
Just before this emergency ordi-
nance was adopted, B. M. Graham,
chairman of the board, expressed
the sentiments of his fellow super
visors when he stated that this was
the greatest thing to have happen
ed in Imperial county in recent
times.
cit will give us an opportunity
to have all our dairy herds cleaned
up thoroughly, Graham said,
"and with this accomplished new
and greater markets for our dairy
products will be opened up through
out the state.''
Cattlemen and other interested
persons who attended the meeting
this morning and afternoon were
highly elated over the move. 1t is
expected that the program will be
completed in about month.

mercial radio program.
II am extremely happy that the
motion picture industry has ap-
pointed a censor within its own
ranks" she said at the outset of her
talk, broadcast from the Worlds fair
grounds.
Lately it has been felt that the

thing of bad effect upon the child

Next she spoke of todays all-Star
baseball game in New York, express
ing a hope that "the outstanding
heroes of the game will come up to
expectations"
She told of the crowded events in
the Presidents average day and,
turning to the topic of the broad

Mrs. Blagg, 37-year-old mother Of
two sons, continued to insist, Dis
trict Attorney Glenn De Wore said,
that Clayton Stone, 14-year- old Boy

In answer to new questions, put
to her through nurse, the only
person to whom she will pay atten-
ton, Mrs. Blagg reiterated that the
Stone boy struck her with knife,
that she arose, went into her kit
chen and dressed the wound, chided
the boy for his action, and then re-
turned to bed.
Physicians declare, the district at
torney stated, it would have been
impossible for Mrs. Bla.g to move
after receiving wounds which frac-
tured her skull in five places.
"If her story that the Stone boy
struck her with a knife is correct,
that would presuppose that someone
else entered the house later and
struck the blows which fractured
her SKULL" De Wore told the United
Press. so far, we're just about as
much at sea as we were before Mrs.
Blagg accused the boy"
Clayton, meanwhile, insisted on

innocent of Mrs. Blagg"s charges.
He still was held, however, pending
further investigation. No charges
we're filed against him.

The oil code has placed 100000

traitor, said today on the first
anniversary of the code, while
the industry's yearly payroll has
increased by approximately 140
million dollars. Mr.. Ickes said:
Gasoline prices at retail

half to l cent a gallon. The
Federal Trade Commission re-
ported the increase represents
approximately 100 million dol
lars a year. We have been
criticized, and unfairly so, be-
cause Of this increase"
Mr.. Ickes declared conditions
in the industry prior to the code
were approaching chaos and cited
these improvements:
