"It may be the jolliest adventure

up to the seat, started the auto

"Oh, I like to do it'll" said Mr.

1t was very hot and dry and when
the wind blew the dust all over and
Mr.. Twistytail was sneezing hard
Uncle Wiggily did not ride out on

"What's the matter? What Is

itself in this peculiar environ
ment.
Incidentally, it is the fastest
motor boat racing course in the
world because of the high gravity
of the water, and its situation 246
feet below sea level, where the in
ternal combustion engine works at
its greatest efficiency. We hope
very much that Director Sterrett
and the community find some
means of completing this road, and
establishing a pleasure resort on the
shores of Salton Sea at Sandy
Beach.
During the summer months when
less water has been discharged into
Salton Sea, the water surface has
receded, leaving a much wider
sandy beach. "The water Hays
stated, sis particularly clear at
this season of the year"
Hays believes that Sandy Beach
is destined to be a great health
and pleasure resort and playground
of Imperial Valley holk during the
winter, fall and spring months.

He's on the wrong ticket. Its too

brokers', personal property brokers,
banks and practically all those who make
the greater percentage of loans. The
claim that the law will prevent usury
holds good but the exemptions are en-
phatically discriminatory. We urge
vote of mo" on the proposition.
No. 13-Local option Here is nation

troversy that existed throughout the ma
tlon for 13 years. No. 5 precinct in this
city, for instance, could be dry and No.
could be wet. Passage of the law
would only make for confusion and
chaos We strongly urge a mo" vote
on the measure.
No. 14-Superior court judges. This
measure pertains only to Los Angeles
county. 1t is another attempt to get
away from the election of judges as now
prevails. We urge Yes vote on it,
because our archaic state constitution
makes what is the business of Los An
