ORGANIZATION APPROVED

What was written in this column last
night, relative to organization of the I'M
perial Valley Anti-Communist associa-
ton, applies equally we'll to the I'M
perial Valley Growers and Shippers Pro-
tective association, organized here We'd
nesday night
A. n. Jack, president of the new asso-
citation, points out that lack of coopera-
ton has been characteristic of the pro-
duce industry in the past. 1t has been
apparent to all who have given any
thought to the matter that such has been
the case and this fact is to blame in no
inconsiderable measure, for much of the
grief that the industry has experienced.
Instead of working together for their
common good, growers and shippers too
often have been at each others throats.
and have neglected their mutual inter-
ests in seeking each to foster his individ-
ual interests, even if by doing SO others
were injured.
This policy has long since been aban-
doned by progressive business men in all
lines of endeavor. They have found the
wisdom of the old saying In union there
is strength, and they have put it into
practice successfully.
One need only cite the success on
large scale, of the raisin, orange, and
walnut growers to be convinced that
working together is much better than
opposing each other.
Cooperation among the growers and
shippers of the valleys various crops is
something for which many outside the
industry as well as those actively en-
gagged in it have wished for years. Re-
cent experiences have directed consider
able censure toward leaders in the pro-
duce industry, not all Of it deserved, by
any means.
The new association is TO be protective
in guarding the rights of those who have
formed it and in working together for
their mutual welfare. Those in the as
Sociation know the many natural handi-
caps under which they operate They
propose to work together to solve these
and also to prevent an additional handi-
cap in the form of interference from out
side agitators and trouble makers
The association represents the men
who have invested millions in Imperial
Valley and none will question their right
to take every legitimate step to protect
their investment from injury either by
their own short-sightedness or by the de-
structive activities of persons who have
no interest in Imperial Valley.
We believe formation of the association
marks a new era in the valleys greatest
industry and we sincerely hope so.

UNCLE WIGGHY MAKES A
MISTAKE

All the animals in Woodland
near the Orange Ice Mountains
where Uncle Wiggily lived in his
hollow stump bungalow, were talk
ing about the rabbit gentleman'S
new candy store.
Mr.. WEitewaSh, the Polar Bear
gentleman, who was nibbling on an
icicle from his frozen cave, met Mr.
Twistytail, the fat pig.
Il see Wiggy has started candy
store growled the Bear.

noticed he had a sign on the front
of his bungalow Too bad! Poor
Uncle Wiggily must have lost all
his money and his wife and Nurse
Jane probably had to open the can
dy store to get in a little some
thing to live on"

BED TIME STORIES
BY HOWARD f. GARRIS
Copyright, 1884 by Mcclure Newspaper SyndCate)

I eat besides icicles is fish, and yor
cont want fish, do you?"
No answered Uncle Wiggily
But my brown bear friend, Mr.
Stubtail likes Iish and l know hC
tas a lot of apples in his cellar. sc
if you traded him some fish fol
apples, then you could bring me
the apples and take maple sugar
And if you don't like maple sugar
you can trade it with Mr. Otter
for more fish. Mr.. Otter is great
fisher"
I'll do tkat" laughed Mr. White
wash
So began a very busy time in
the rabbit gentlemans maple sugar
candy store. Animals that hac
more carrots than they needed
brought them to trade for maple
sugar, of which they were very
fond. And some had more turnipS
or potatoes than they needed fol
the remainder of tie winter and
they traded these for chunks ol
maple sugar candy.
Many mothers, instead of giving
their animal boys and girls pennies
to go to the store for sticks of can
oy gave them a turnip, a carrot
or a potato and they hurried to
Uncle Wiggily'S store and traded
the vegetables for maple sugar.
The Fox heard about the rab-
bits store and thinking to play q
trick, tie Fox painted some sticks
yellow to look like carrots and then
putting on q false face and other
clothes went to try and catch Un-
Gle Wiggily. At first the bunny
was fooled and he handed tie Fox
some maple sugar for the wooden
carrots. But, all of a sudden the
false face Slipped off the Fox and
Uncle Wiggily cried:
oh. made a mistake. l meant
to give you this instead of candy!
And he gave the Fox such a hard
Whack on the nose with Nurse
James broom that the Bad Chap
ran away and didn't come back for
a long time.
And SO Mr.. Longears had all the
vegetables he needed to eat.
Now if the can opener will GO
for the clothes tree and pick off
hat for TIE head of the stairs, II
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
looking for Spring.

PHOTOGRAPHS
OF LINCOLN
SHOWN HERE

Much comment has been heard
at FL Centre Chamber of Com
merce headquarters concerning
two photographs of Abraham Lin
coin now on display in the cham
Der office. The pictures, actual
photographs OF the former presi-
dent, were taken before Lincoln
wore a beard and the poses are
not those usually seen today. The
fact that there is but little re-
touching makes them even more
unusual. These two photographs
of Lincoln, one profile and one
full face view, were donated to
the local chamber by Henry A.
Harris of the English Village and
the old fashioned oval frames pre-
pared by Leo Hetzel have set them
off in a manner which has at
tracted much attention from the
public.
The history of the photographs,
as related by Harris is very inter-
esting, and is as follows. In 1860,
lust after Lincoln was elected to
the presidency and before his in
auguration, a photographer for the
Chicago Tribune went to Spring
field. Ill. the home of the future
president, and took the pictures.
The negatives were made on wet
plates, which method required that
the glass be coated and while wet,
be placed in the camera. The neg
atives were then developed while
the glass was still wet and the
photographs on display at the
chamber were made from the ORR
ginal negatives.
Harris has a friend in the east
who has for years collected men,
entos of Lincoln and through this
interest came into possession of the
negatives from which these photo
graphs were made. Because they
are now SO old and diScolored he
does not allow photographs to be
made from them. but Harris was
permitted to have five pictures
finished. One of these was given to
Dr.. Thomas C. Green, directors of
the speakers bureau of the Red
Cross, two have been given to the
Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
and Harris still has two. Few
photographs, if any, made from
this negative are now in existence.

STYLE CHATS
With ALMA ARCHER

You can gather steam for spring
probably by opening your purchas-
ing activities with a good printed
silk and just have the little dress
maker around the corner whip it
up while you re getting the winter S
snow out of your ears and general
ly getting set with real wardrobe
plan. This will give the dressmak-
er something to eat with for a
week, and also save you from max
ing lot of wardrobe mistakes be-
fore the trend of the season is def
initely understood The yard-goods
departments are filled with some
delightful patterns, both French
and American, but as usual the
Shylocks have gotten in their dirty
cracks too. Some of the advertise
ments have footed prices which
would startle the gold out of your
teeth, but the low-down is that the
patterns are not the orchids you
think, but from by-gone seasons,
and fabric people have unloaded
| them for a song. They ought to
be clouted because liquor, not dress
patterns, is the only thing which
improves with age.

of candy so Mrs. LongearS and
Nurse Jane would have money to

MES"
"A very good thought, Brother
Whitewash," grunted the fat pig
Il don't care much for candy my
self, but I suppose what l buy !
could give to my little pigs
I'm not very fond OF candy
either" growled tie Polar Bear, as
he took another bite of icicle. so
what I buy from Uncle Wiggily I'll
give to you for the children"
"Fine" grunted Mr.. Twistytail.
The two friends hurried to the
rabbits hollow stump bungalow
outside of which was sign:
MAPLE SUGAR CANDY STORE
When the pig and bear entered
Uncle Wiggilys bungalow, they
found that the rabbit gentleman
had made a counter in the front
room by putting Nurse James IRON
ing board across the backs of two
chairs. On this ironing board coun-
ter were pies of brown maple sugar
candy.
Hello, Wiggy!' grunted his pig
friend. III take 81 worth of your
candy"
III take S5 worth" grunted Mr.
Whitewash, who was very rich.
oh, but I don't sell this candy,
laughed Uncle Wiggily,
Whats it here for, just to look
at?" asked the bear. And if you
don't sell it why have you that
store sign out in front?"
"Oh, I mean I don't sell the can
dy for money" laughed the rabbit
81 trade it for carrots, turnips, let
tuce or anything else you may kave
in the way of vegetables. You see
we ran short of carrots, turnips
and lettuce" he explained. AL
I have left is cabbage and we can't
live on just cabbage and if we ate
all of our own maple sugar candy
of which I lave bushels and BUSH
els, it would make us i'll. So l hit
on the idea of trading candy fol
vegetables
"a very good idea" grunted the
pig. I'VE have more turnipS than
we need. Wiggy, SO I'll bring you
some and trade them for candy
I'm afraid I can't trade with
you," said the Polar Bear, "as all

SYNCROTAX TO
BE DISCUSSED
HERE TONIGHT

Featuring his address upon the
newly proposed "SyncrotaX" plan
of taxation with the statement that
under this system taxes on real
property in California would be re-
duced 70 to 80 per cent. w. NJ.
Patch of Los Angeles will speak
to Imperial Valley residents at a
mass meeting in Wilson school to-
night at 7:45.
In addition to the tax speech,
DR.. q. T. Malaby of Pasadena, a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
ination for governor, will outline his
| ideas of what chief executive
of California should do.
The SyncrotaX plan, which con-
templates the abolition of all forms
of taxes now existing in Cali
fornia and in political subdivisions
of the state, would replace them
with a percentage levy upon gross
money or value turnover.
There would be no taxes what
| ever upon homes, or upon other
productive property. The slo-
gan of the movement is no in
come, no taxes"
The idea is gaining tremendous
headway in California, it is as
serted by officers of the National
Syncrotax association.
1t would, ies proponents claim
save so millions of dollars yearly
in the cost of government, be-
side spreading the tax burden
equally over all classes of citi-
zens, reaching many at present un-
| touched sources of revenue, anc
would provide an easy and equit-
able method of providing fund:
for governmental expense.
The address will be broadcast
over KXO, beginning at 8:15.

GREECE IN THE CLEAR

AsperSiOnS cast on the good faith of
Greece by the announcement made yes
terday regarding the escape from its iur-
isdiction of Samuel insult, former utili-
ties magnate whom thousands of mid
west investors would like to see back in
the United States, appear to have been
somewhat premature
insult, who has made a continued story
out Of the efforts of Greece to oust him
as an undesirable, was supposed to have
left that country yesterday on train
designated by the Greek government,
which wishes him to leave Greece.
When officers went to locate insult he
had disappeared. 1t looked very much
like colluSiOn between Greek officials and
insult. Perhaps it looked that way be-
cause we have become so accustomed to
similar incidents in our own country.
1t appears, however, that insult had
double-crossed Greece the same as he had
double-crossed the thousands of investors
in his midwest utilities empire.
The Greek government Immediately
started a search for him and was sue
cessful in locating him just before he had
reached a safe haven in Egypt. The
steamer on which he had been secreted
was overhauled by a Greek naval vessel
and is being forced to return to Greece
with he former utilities magnate
aboard.
Whether insult will be turned direct
ly over to American officials, or be Civ
Ell chance to go to some other European
country, remains to be seen. Anyhow.
Greece is in the clear insofar as collus-
ion with his brief escape is concerned.
