New York Stocks

NEW YORK. June 25. UP)-In-
tereSt in stocks dropped to new
low level for this market today. Vol
ume was under the half-million
share mark and prices were lower.
Commodities also were quiet with
the major groups moving in oppo-
site directions. Wheat dropped 2 to
2B cents a buShel and other grains
were down fractions to more than a
cent, while cotton, silver, rubber and
copper advanced.
The first two hours the silver sec
ton of Commodity Exchange, Inc,
bid fair to run up a substantial to-
tai of business. In that period the
volume was 1876 lots of 100000 fine
ounces of the metal, total larger
than any full day since May %. In
the next hours the sales fell to lots
and from l to 2 p. m. the business
was only lots. 1t was believed the
government was absorbing offerings
in its purchasing operations under
the new silver bill.
Silver shares on the stock ex-
change weakened late in the ses-
sion after early firmness. U. S.
Smelling dropped more than 2
points from its high and others were
off correspondingly. Cerro De Pasco
of the silver group was among the
most active issues of the day.
Amusement shares were actively
sold with Paramount certificates
coming out in blocks ranging to S.
900 shares. Recent reports from the
movies that summer attendance was
holding up we'll we're reversed today
and the usual summer decline was
reported under way. Packing shares
did better than other groups. Ar
mour and Wilson issues were fairly
active at higher prices. Advancing
prices for some meats are enhancing
the value of packers inventories.
Steel issues weakened sharply
near the close. U. S. Steel broke be-
low 38, against a previous close of
4O2s. Bethlehem lost fractionally.
Stock sales today approximated
100000 shares, the smallest five
hour day since June 7, and COM
pared with $4,000 shares Friday.
Curb sales were 100000 shares
against $4,000 shares Friday.

averages showed industrial 95.79, off

mot CONSTIPATED
FOR Seven WEEKS"
Writes Mrs. Johnson After
Using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN

Sufferers from constipation will
be interested in this unsolicited
letter:
"Your ALL-BRAN surely relieves
constipation. l am so glad over the
good it has done me that feel /
must write and tell you of it.
f'For lunch I take a banana, a
large one. Six tablespoons of ALL
BRAN in a sauce dish, and dip
banana at each bite until all is
consumed. l haven't been consti-
pated now for seven weeks. Mrs.
Louise Johnson, 1433 Forest Street,
Denver, Colorado.
Constipation often causes head
aches, loss of appetite and energy,
sleeplessness. This condition is
usually due to lack of "bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines, and vitamin b
to further promote regular habits.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN has both, as
well as iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that in leafy vegetables. With
in the body, it forms a soft mass.
Gently, it clears out the wastes.
Try ALL-BRAN in place Of patent
Nsne iicines - often harmful. Two
tablespoonfuls daily will overcome
most types of constipation. Chronic
cases, with each meal. If not re-
lieved this way, see your doctor.
Use as a cereal, or in cooking.

SUPERVISOR
HOME FROM
CONFERENCE

Hugh Osborne, member of the
board of county supervisors, has
returned from a meeting of the le-
gislative and executive committees
of the state supervisors association
held last Friday in San Francisco.
This group adopted a resolution
that Governor Merriam call the
state legislature in special session to
make adequate provisions for a pro-
gram of unemployment relief by
state and federal governments, re-
lieving the counties of the unbear-
able burden of attempting to fin
ance an inadequate program of di-
rect relief.
The San Francisco meeting had
been called for the purpose of dis
cussing the emergency arising from
unemployment relief and also for
the purpose of discussing the ad-
visibility of recommending a special
session of the legislature to finance
an adequate state relief program.
A special emergency committee
composed of members of the state
supervisors association was appoint
ed to meet and advise with the le-
gislature, if and when convened.
Osborne was appointed member of
this special committee.

MRS. F|DANQUE
ON WAY HOME

LOS ANGELES, June 25. U.P) =
Pale and apparently trembling from
fear, Mrs. Sybil Fidanque, San Jose
woman who asserts that she was
kidnapped from her home and re-
leased in Ell Paso, Texas, paused
here late last night with her son
enroute to her home.
Mrs. Fidanque refused to answer
questions, declaring that she was
too weak to talk. However, she did
privately answer questions asked
her by two department of justice
agents who met the train.
They confronted her with Mrs.
Eva Schurr, Santa Monica beauty
parlor operator, who positively
identified her as the woman
who spent six hours in Mrs.
Schurr's shop last week having her
black hair dyed red.
The agents later declared they
we're satisfied that Mrs. Fidanque
had not been kidnapped, but was
perhaps a victim of amnesia.
Jack Fjdanque, her son, who went
10 Ell Paso to get her after the as
serted kidnapping, said his mother
was in no condition to talk.
II don't know what's the matter
with her." he confessed. "She's
scared to death. Something awful
has happened and I don't know
what it's all about. Mother actual
ly doesn't know what happened to
her. She remembers man and
woman coming to the house in San
Jose but after that everything was
a blur"
Mrs. Fidanque had told Ell Paso
officers that a man named Jim"
and a girl called "Maizie" had
taken her from her home.
She became hysterical here when
a porter dropped bag beside her.
"Oh, Jack-they're shooting at
me! That was a shot" she scream
ed. "Jack-don't let them do that
to me. I'm shot!"
The federal agents assisted her
to the train as she seemed about to
faint.

while this was a record year he
reports that the crop has always
brought satisfactory prices.
Mansfield states that the sue
cess of the crop depends upon the
preparation of seed and soil. He
puts spring seed in cold storage
until winter and plows the soil
in August, allowing it to aerate un-
til December when the crop is
planted. With the exception of the
irrigation at time of planting he
does not irrigate again until they
start to bud and his crop in normal
years is ready in early April for
market. He plants, he states about
four inches deep and 80 inches
apart. His information was of
special interest to the chamber of
commerce because many farmers
had reported that potatoes could
not be successfully grown in I'm
perial Valley.
Mansfield expects to make some
experiments with lima beans, which
he believes will grow successfully
here and will find ready and
early market. This may be another
crop to add to the already varied
production of Americas Winter
Garden"

bRAWLEY MAN
INTERESTED IN
POTATO CROP

w. P. Mansfield, whose farm is
located near Brawley, was a caller
at the El Centric Chamber of Com
merce Saturday, when he offered
his assistance to the chamber in
its efforts to further the growing
of potatoes in Imperial Valley.
Mansfield stated that he has grown
potatoes on his farm every year
for the past "a years and had
always met with success.
The local chamber has been
much interested in seeing pro-
duced in Imperial Valley an early
potato which would go to market
ahead of those of other communl-
ties and was much interested in
the information which Mansfield
could give, based on actual ex-
pertinent. Manager Crew of the
Vail ranches made some extensive
and successful experiments with
early potatoes this year and it
is expected that the methods he
used and those of Mansfield will
furnish valuable data for others
interested in producing potato
crops.
Among the interesting experiences
in connection with potato raising
reported by Mansfield is the fact
that about 1905 he shipped po-
tatoes from Imperial Valley to
Alaska. These potatoes, he states,
were wrapped separately as are
citrus fruits and sold by him for
five cents a pound. At later date
when prices were high he made
5000 an acre on his potatoes, and,

former Brooklyn mates, cracking
a home run in the first game,
singing and doubling in the night
cap to drive In two runs, score
one.
New York lost half game to
the Cubs but managed to jostle
the Cards back a notch, beating
st. Louis in the series opener, 81.

Bill Terry's triple, put the game
on ice. The Giants batted through
the lineup, Terry's single, his Sec
ond hit of the inning, driving in
the last run. Nine pitchers were
used by both clubs.
Cast-Off Wins

it, giving seven hits. The Reds

niehtcap, 10-7. The Pirates beat
Philadelphia, 1l-5, Waite Hoyt
winning after the Phils had shell
led Red Lucas off the hill in the

TREASURY HAS
LARGE AMOUNT
NOT CLAIMED

PHILADELPHIA, June 25. (U.P)-
National and state governments,
banks, trust companies, life insur-
ance companies and corporations
are holding hundreds of millions
n "a. dollars for persons who can
not- be located, according to Will
liam \ A. Law president of the
Penn Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany, and former president of the
American Bankers association.
The largest holder of forgotten
fpnds probably is the United
States government. Law pointed
out that a recent Treasury state
ment revealed that $4,000, 900
awaiting persons, who never had
cashed in their government bonds,
Treasury notes, bills, certificates
of indebtedness, and Treasury saw
ings certificates.
These items have matured and
interest long since has ceased to
be paid, yet nobody has come for
ward to claim the money. Another
100000 remained unclaimed on
government checks that have re-
manned uncashed for more than
three years. ..-s.
Other unclaimed money, repre-
senting proceeds of estates of
American citizens who have died
abroad, trust funds under govern
ment departments, deposits by
SclerkS of Federal courts, and
money of individuals who e
whereabouts are unknown, totals
about $4,00O,000.
ut has been estimated" Law
said. that there is $50,000,000 in
the dormant accounts of the
banks of the country. A sizeable
sum, which it would be difficult to
estimate, is held by life insurance
companies for policy hC,ders and
beneficiaries who cannot be locat-
ed, and other millions of dollars
of unclaimed money payable on
demand are held by the states,
municipalities and other govern
mental agencies"

Ell Centro, Calf.
Mr.. r. c. Nicoll,
Valerie Jean Date Shop,
Thermal, Calf.
Dear Mr.. Nicoll:
Business houses on Highway u.
S. 80, south of Coachella, have
been very splendid supporters of the
project for placing neon direc-
tional signs at Coachella and at
strategic points in Arizona. Those
who made pledges of monthly con-
tributions, namely Coachella Valley
Trading Post, Hundred Palms,
Smythe and Jones, Chas. G.. Tut
hills Shell Service Station and
Valerie Jean Date Shop, have in
variably made their monthly con-
tributions as agreed.
If we are to carry on this work
it is going to be necessary that we
continue these monthly contribu-
tions because there is still expense
to be borne in Coachella valley and
new signs to be erected at var
ious connection points in Arizona
where traffic can be diverted to
the southern route by way of I'm
perial Valley and the Salton Sea.
May I therefore beg that you
ask these local subscribers in Goa
chella who are working hand in
hand with the people of Imperial
Valley to hold traffic here to con-
tinue their contributions to this
important work? We know that
these signs have achieved results
and if maintained and other signs
added Imperial and Southern
Coachella valleys will be able to
hold and build profitable highway
traffic.
