The men around here are
really very sympathetic" said
Sheriff HOlley today.
Wan and Tired
She was wan and tired after five
almost sleepless nights and her
brown eyes revealed her despera-
ton. On the desk of the jail Office
were newspapers with their jeering
cartoons and headlines telling Of
the demands for her resignation.
Women are peculiar, she said
with a faint smile, especially in a
small town. They want all women
to stay in their homes and I sup
pose that's why many of them have
turned against me"
The diminutive, authenticated
sheriff-the only one in Indiana
hasn't any intention of resigning
and she isn't blaming any of her
deputies who were blufed by Dill
fingers hand-whittled toy pistol,
except to say they might have been
a little Drawer"
Expert Pistol Shot
Her threats to kill Dillinger if she
ever sees him again are the threats
Of an expert pistol shot. For four
or five months before the desperate
became her star bOarder" Sheriff
Holley went almost daily to a rifle
range south Of here and practiced
craftsmanship.
Il had to do it." she explained,
because I was so afraid of firearms
before Roy was shot that you
couldn't hire me to pick one up"
Roy. her husband, was sheriff
when he was slain in cold blood by
crazed Mike Lantare a year ago.
She was appointed to fill his I'M
ASpired term despite the claims of
some county officials that the de-
cision was guided by silly senti-
mentality"
DiIIinger Got Breaks
When she suddenly was called
on to take over the sheriff's job
Mrs. Holley admittedly didn't know
a writ of habeas corpus from a sub
pena. But she learned quickly.
taking charge of civil matters her
self and turning the criminal work
over to her husbands nephew, Car
roll Holley.
Naturally I didn't know all about
this job when ] took it; I was much
like any other wife and mother"
she said. But I insist I can han
die it as we'll as any man. Dill
linger took one chance in a million
and the breaks were with him and
against me. 1t couldn't happen
again in a hundred years"
Sheriff HOlley'S 19-year-old twin
daughters, Janice and Janet, attend
the Mary Baldwin school in Staun-
ton. Va. and were under special
guard during Dillinger's six weeks
incarceration here. Their mother
felt pals of the criminal might at
tempt repriSal by kidnapping them.
Is Excellent Golfer
Not only is the 1O5-pound woman
Sheriff-a holster and revolver
strapped to her side looks as cum
bersome as a machine guam
expert shot but an experienced
and golfer.
She's probably the best woman
golfer in Crown Point, her friends
say. and almost weekly she goes
to her 2OOO-acre farm twenty-five
miles south of here and rides one
of her several saddle horses.
It is to the large farm that she
intends to retire when her term as
sheriff ends next December.

ADAGIO DANCE
TEAM PLAYS
AT MEXICALI

The acrobatic adagio staged at
the A. B. w. club in Mexicali this
week is drawing record crowds, ac-
cording to Mike Miller, manager of
the famous border resort. Ruth
and Lester originators of this dance
sensation, defy description and
continue to increase in popularity"
Miller said.
Since opening their act with Fan
chon and Marco three years ago,
Ruth and Lester have been credited
from coast to coast with presenting
an act that is both clever and un-
ique. Acrobatic tricks, Olympian
grace, adagio dramatics give plen-
ty of thrills as we'll as genuine ap-
peal to the aesthetic appetite, Mil
Ter pointed out.
Making her debut Saturday night
before the largest house since New
Years eve, Jan Wilde, talented dam
SeuSe at the Owl club, won instan-
taneous favor with her presentation
of the fan dance Miss Wilde, who
has pleased the critics in both Hol-
lywood and New York, comes to
Mexicali from an engagement in
Los Angeles. She formerly appeared
in the east with Faith Bacon, the
originator of the fan dance, first in
troduced to New Workers in Earl
Carols VanitieS.

COCOANUT OIL
TAX APPROVED
BY CHAMBER

kilograms in support of the pro-
posed tax of five cents per pound on
all cocoanut oil used in the United
States have been sent to Congress-
man George Burnham and Senators
johnson and McAdoo by w. A.
Scheniman, chairman of the dairy
committee of the Ell Centro Cham
Der of Commerce. Scheniman's tele-
grams read, I'VE beg you and other
members California delegation
stand by California agriculture by
vigorously supporting the measure
for tax on cocoanut oil of not less
than five cents per pound. The
dairy industry is in a pitiful plight
due to competition with cheap for
eign oils. Please make every effort
to pass this BILL
Scheniman learned yesterday
through E. w. Lott of the Imperial
Valley Milk Producers association
that the ways and means commit
tee has reported favorably to the
house of representatives a bill to
levy this excise tax of five cents per
pound on cocoanut oil. Protests
against the tax, however, have been
sent to Washington by concerns in
tereSted in PHILIPPINE trade of oleo-
margarine and soap and Sam H.
Green, head of the California Dairy
council is urging organizations and
individuals interested in the prOtec-
ton of the dairy industry of Cali
fnt a To ha 70 ,rn
by telegram. 1t was in response to
this request that the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce took action
on the matter.
Scheniman stated today that but
ter substitutes manufactured from
cheap foreign oils have long been a
menace to the dairy industry of
California and that the present
measure before congress is the first
break" the dairy industry has had
in the way of protection. Not only
do these cheap oils compete with
butter manufactured in the United
States, but they are also in direct
competition with products made
from American raised cotton, pea
nuts, soy beans and even hogs. Hog
raisers have been asked to reduce
their production in a national ef-
fort to bring the price of hogs and
pork products up to normal, Scheni-
man points out, as have growers of
other products in competition with
foreign cocoanut oil, and it is only
fair in return to tax this foreign oil
for the protection of the farmers of
the United States who are comply
ing with the national reduction pro-
gram.
Our chamber of commerce was
particularly pleased to take a stand
in favor of this tax" stated Scheni-
man today, because the chamber
represents a community in which
dairying holds a place of great i'm
portance and our dairymen of I'M
perial Valley will directly add to the
prosperity of the community as a
whole

FRIEDMAN FOR
WEST ROBBERY

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3. U.P) =
Edward Friedman, alleged Chicago
gangster, was convicted today on
charges of second degree robbery in
connection with the now famous
$4,000 jewel holdup of Mae West,
stage and screen actress.
A superior court jury found him
guilty after celebrating less than
three hours.
Friedman tainted when the ver-
dict was read. He had steadfastly
denied the charge. His wife who had
supported him, sobbed Historically.
Although present when the state
closed its final arguments, Miss
West was not in the courtroom
when the verdict was returned. Sur
rounded by the special bodyguard
that had been given her when she
reported receipt of several death
threats, she returned to her home.
Superior Judge Harry F.. Sewell
set next Tuesday as the day of SEN
tence
The long draWn-out trial reached
an end concurrently with rumors
that Miss West had become the tar
get of new threats. She was said to
have been warned that she would
be disfigured with caustic or acid
because of her testimony against
Friedman.
From the witness stand in two
dramatic appearances, the screen
siren had pointed out Friedman as
one of two bandits who robbed her
of jewels and money in front of her
apartment house in September,
1882.
Harry Voiler, reputed former
member of the Detroit Purple"
gang, who had left here just prior
to the holdup, is under arrest in
Chicago, charged with plotting the
robbery.
One of the states chief weapons
against Friedman was purported
confession, which the defendant al
legged was wrung from him by po-
lice third degree methods.
Friedman faces a minimum SEN
tence of one year each on two counts
of the indictment.

Christian Science

Love" is tie subject of the les
son-sermon on Sunday in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ, Scien-
tist, in Boston, Mass. The golden
text is from Jude: Keep your
selves in the love Of God, looking
for the mercy of our Lord Jesus
Christ unto eternal life"
Among the Bible citations in the
lesson-sermon are the verses from
Johns first epistle: HE that loveth
his brother abideth in the light,
and there is none occasion of STUN
bling in him. But he that hateth
his brother is in darkness, and
walketE in darkness, and knoweth
not whittier he goeth, because that
darkness hath blinded his eyes. "
Paul's words to the Ephesians arc
also cited, Let all bitterness, and
wrath, and anger, and Glamour, and
evil speaking, be put away from you
with all malice: and be ye kind one
to another, tenderhearted, forgiv-
ing one another, even as God fol-
Christ's sake hath forgiven YOU"
Passages from Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures,
by Mary Baker Eddy, include TIE
statements: Christian Science COM
mands man to master the propen-
sities,-to hold hatred in abeyance
with kindness, to conquer lust with
chastity, revenge with charity, and
to overcome deceit with honesty
"Clad in the panoply of Love, hu-
man hatred cannot reach you"

INCREASE IN
BUSINESS OF
EDGAR BROS.

Excellent improvement in busi-
ness during January over the rec
ords for the same month in 1888,
is recorded by various departments
of Edgar Bros. company, according
to a statement given The Press to-
day.
Figures of the hardware busi-
ness show a 80 per cent increase
over January 1893, while the Ford
business indicates an increase of
60 per cent. The greatest gain was
made in the Jonn Deere implement
store business, which shows an ad-
vance of 100 per cent over the fig
ures for January, 1888.
The excellent start given 1884
encourages the officers of the COM
pany to anticipate a gradual in
crease throughout the balance OF

Ell Centro, Calf
Mr.. M. B. Pratt,
Chief, Division of Forestry,
Sacramento, Calf.
Dear Mr.. Pratt:
Has the state any trees for dis
tribution for street or roadside
planting at the present time? Each
year, as you know, the people of Ell
Centro do a considerable amount
of tree planting for the purpose of
beautifying the streets of the city
and, as the time for ornamental tree
planting is at hand, we wondered
what trees were available at this
time suited to a community where
desert conditions prevail.
Would it be possible to get Chinese
elms for city planting here? You
may remember that two years ago
you sent us a Chinese elm for a
planting ceremony of the Boy Scouts
and we have found from this and
other experiences that Chinese elms
are very satisfactory for ornamen-
tai planting in this community.
The writer would also report that
the Arizona ash and California
black walnut trees which you sent
two years ago seem to be thriving
satisfactorily from the checks we
have made and we feel that,
through your help, some worth
while experimentation in tree plant
ing for city Identification has been
made in Ell Centro. Thanking you
for your continued interest in our
tree planting program, I am
Yours very truly,
H. r. ANDERSON,
Chairman Street Identification
Committee, Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce.

NEW HAY CROP
DUE SHORTLY
By ]. S. CAMERON

BY the end of February, the
1888 Imperial Valley hay crop
will have gone to market, and a
new crop will be in sight. This
very important food commodity
probably typifies the struggle that
all agricultural products have had
to contend with during the past
three years. 1t has not been
struggle for supremacy or battle
for an exalted position, but a fight
to overcome the difference between
profit and loss. The result of the
contest is slightly in favor OF the
hay grower, because $l2 a ton
the present price of U. S. No. l
alfalfa hay, means a small pro-
fit over the cost of production,
whereas So a ton, the price of
hay at the beginning of the sea-
son, meant decided loss.
Perhaps the commodity dollar"
that has been promised will take
a hand in sustaining the price
of hay above the cost of production
1t undoubtedly will, if the hay
farmers can see eye to eye with
the department of agriculture at
Washington and coordinate their
efforts, regulate their production
and equate the flow of their COM
modify to market. There is of
course, only one way to achieve
this ideal condition. Every man
engaged in the enterprise must
relate himself TO every other man
in the same business for the pur-
pose Of obtaining full coordination.
Individualism must be set aside,
and team work must take the
place of individual effort. To most
people this is theory only. Most
mon. including farmers, refuse to
lay Gown the bludgeon with which
they have defended their personal
interests SO long, and join hands
with their neighbors in a common
cause. Without a doubt we are
turning an economic corner, and
will probably have to change our
ways of thinking whether we want
to Or not.
AS said in the beginning, the
hay grower is typical of all agric-
ultural groups. If the gains made
in the past season are to be re-
tanned, the hay growers of I'M
perial Valley will do well to think
in terms of organization and look
upon their hay growing neighbors
as cooperators and helpers, and
not as competitors.
