KIDNAPERS OF GETTLE CONFESS
CRIME TO LOS ANGELES POLICE

(She apparently had missed one day
in her calculation of time). "Wed-
nesday was the last time the men
came here. There were three men.
I knew one man. The others I did
not know"
"How did you get in the carp"
THE man came to the school,
house and said he was going to take
me downtown where you were work.
ing. When I saw they were going
into the country started to cry.
The man said he would spank me so
I didn't cry any more"
June said the men who came at
night talked English, and two of
them addressed each other as "Bill''
and WHIP. On their first two visits,
she said, they told her they hoped
to return her home within few
days.
June was put to bed.
Mother, come, hold me close, "
she pleaded.
Physicians were almost incredu-
louS at June's survival. They said it
was improbable and almost impos-
sible for a child to remain for 10
days under such conditions of heat
and dirt, chained and almost i'm
movable.
She was weak, had abrasions on
her head where she had scratched
herself, and on her leg from rub
bing against her chain. Also she
suffered from malnutrition and the
heat, which ranged daily from LOG
to ITO degrees. Physicians said after
rest and care she would recover
fully.

perial Valley, send their children to
California schools, and secure for
them the same opportunities avail
able to American born children.
This is the principle on which free
education is based in America. This
younger generation brings back to
the homes the new ideas and new
ideals. In all of these the California
state department of education is a
leader, AMI has nationwide repu-
tation. The committee is sure that
all of the organizations named by
the commission will willingly help
in such process of education, and
probably are already doing so.
Approves Deportation
'8. That both state and federal
governments encourage the growers
and shippers to organize, that they
may handle intelligently the serious
problems relating to the successful
conduct of their business"
The committee does not under
stand this recommendation. The
growers and shippers are already
organized, and have been for years.
They must and do handle their
problems comparatively. In this val
ley trouble, the growers and ship
pers have been represented through
their organization, as the workers
have been represented through their
organizations.
80. That steps be taken to repat-
riate aliens (a) who are undesirable
and are subject to deportations, and
(b) who desire of their own free
will to return to their respective
countries"
The committee concurs enthusias-
tically with this suggestion. The de-
portation of alien agitators should
be one of the most important fac
tors in meeting the present revolu-
tionary movement in California, as
elsewhere. The repatriation of alien
laborers Of either class mentioned
by the commission would lessen the
labor problem. Unfortunately, al
though at the present time actual
deportation orders have been issued
against many whose presence in this
country is obviously to incite trouble
as is the case with several now un-
der deportation orders in Southern
California, it has been impossible to
secure actual deportation. This is a
serious matter and should have the
attention of those in authority.

LIONS ENJOY
FINE ADDRESS

A. r. Kenny, representative of
the Western Wholesale Grocers
and member of the local Lions
club, gave an interesting talk on
the present economic situation at
the club meeting this noon at the
Barbara Worth.
Beginning with the famous ia
mine of the Israelites he told of
their efforts during their depres-
sion to educate themselves to
meet a similar situation and to
care for themselves during depres-
sion.
He drew interesting parallels be-
tween the current and past depres-
sions, saying that this country had
too easily made money after the
war and its people were animated
by selfish motives, having as a re-
suit to learn all over again the
lesson of interdependence on 9TH
ers.
Kenny then spoke on the pres
ent administration plans, the
NRA, the various codes, and other
measures, pointing out that the
NRA is idealistic in purpose and
that selfishness. the desires of in
dividuals to beat the code, has in
terfered with it's operation. Organ
ization of labor into unions was al
so discussed.
Quoting from statistics. Kenny
pointed out that 1913 concerns in
1882 showed a deficit of $4,000, 900,
and in 1888, a gain of $4,000 900
He also quoted statistics showing
the increase in the purchasing
power of farmers.

Says Grasshopper
Campaign Success

In pursuance to the item in last
Tuesdays Press about the grass
hopper menace, wish to state that
the present crusade put on by agri-
culture department is not merely
to provide relief for the needy, but
we are actually killing out whole
acres of the pests wherever appli-
cation of the poison bran is used.
1t is no longer an experiment.
The farmer or grower can have
this put on at cost. one cent a
pound and rid his place of this
present crop of pests and the dan
ger of increasing numbers and
without danger to stock where land
or crop is to be pastured.
Twelve pounds per acre at least
should be used where the hoppers
are thick and prompt payment by
the farmer and cooperation will
materially help the department.

Huise-PrebIe
Case Dismissed

A complaint charging Ben Hulse,
state senator, and A. Y. Preble,
county supervisor with disorderly
conduct was dismissed by Judge
John B. Baker in Imperial justice
court yesterday on grounds that
the evidence brought forward was
insufficient to support the claims
alleged in the complaint.
e. E. Ryan a non-partisan league
member of the Imperial school
board was the complaining witness
and filed the charges gaainst Hulse
and Preble last Sunday, it is said.
The complaint is supposed to have
arisen following an alleged argu-
ment said to have taken place on
an Imperial street the morning
following the school board elec-
ton held there on March 81.

Mr.. Robert Hays,
Ell Centre, California
Dear Mr.. Hays:
Your appreciable card of Decem-
Der 19, 1888 at hand and as we'll the
literature and booklet that you Of
fer me. I am very sorry that the
booklet has been misplaced and be-
cause I will be very interesting to
know all about Imperial county
would very much like more booklet
and literature. I shall be very much
pleased of yours in getting full in
formation about agriculture in your
valley.
If it is not a great trouble to you
please send me again the booklet
offered.
Yours very truly,
Eduardo Escobar TIL.
Ingeniero Agronomo.
Note: Manager Hays of the
chamber of commerce states that
the All-American Canal edition of
three valley newspapers, recently
published, is proving invaluable in
answering inquiries similar to the
above. The fact that Mr.. Escobar is
an agronomical engineer or soil spe-
cialist, indicates that his interest in
Imperial Valley agriculture is sin
cere and it has been found in the
past that inquiries from foreign
countries, such as the above, otter
result in a visit from the writer tt
Imperial Valley at some future date
when he is in the United States.

Why Ants
Leave Home
A Problem of Vital Interest To
Every Housewife

Every 1OuStWhc
There will be no excuse for any
housewife in this section not know
ing the answer to this question be-
fore the present Summer Is over,
because it is going to be spread
across the pages of newspapers,
displayed on billboards and broad
cast over the leading radio stations.
The fact is, that while the little
household ant is one of the great
est nuisances with which women
have to contend, its control is a
comparatively simple matter. All
that is necessary is to spread a
little of that marvellous prepara-
ton, Kellogg'S Ant Paste, around
the places where ants are accus-
toned to appear, and the manner
in which they rush out of the house
is startling to say the least. Kel-
logg's can be obtained at all drug
gists. Do not wait until your pam
try is. over-run with ants, but order
a package today. adv.

HURT TOCHERRY
TREES SMALL

Park officials today scoffed at
reports that trees in local parks,
including the cherry trees around
the Tidal Basin, had been dam
aged to any extent by recent low
temperatures.
The only injury done, they
said, was to shrubbery, which
may require heavy pruning. The
worst sufferers are the rose,
forSythia and privet bushes and
none has been killed.
Just when the cherry blossoms
will bloom is still a matter Of
guess work, but it was the con-
senSus of opinion that it will not
be before early April.
