MILK INSTITUTES ORGANIZATION
PERFECTED AT IMPERIAL MEETING
Last Nights Gathering Attended By Large
And Enthusiastic Audience From All
Parts OF Valley

valley milk products both at home
and outside the county and also to
capitalize on the publicity which
will come to the valley through the
Boulder dam and All-American
canal to aid in this extension. Ev-
cry resident of the valley should
take an active part in this cam
paign, Macdonald said, as it means
so much not only to the dairymen
but also to all who make their live
lihood here along other lines Of
en6eaVor.
Introduced by Roy Thompson,
the speaker of the evening was
Charles Horrworth, field secretary
OF the All Year Club OF Southern
California. Horrworth S words were
filled with inspiration and encour-
agement for these who were stand
ing behind the institute. He pre-
dicted complete success for the en-
terprise if it is backed by the CO.
operation OF all residents of the
valley. Interests should be pooled
for the common good, he said,
pointing out further that local res
idents must first sell themselves on
the project before being able sue
cessfuly to carry the battle outside
the boundaries of the county.
He called attention to many 9TH
er successful enterprises carried on
by united communities throughout
the country which would not be
dsunted by obstacles in their way.
The same can be accomplished
here, he said but the enthusiasm
of the entire county is needed TO
bring the desired success.

vious period. The first allowed but
one acre foot per 80 acres. This was
increased to 1l2 acre feet for each
so acres during the period which is
ending on Sunday of this week.
A marked increase in the flow of
the Colorado river due to rains and
snowfall both in the upper basin
and also along the entire watershed
Of the river Is responsible for this
move on the part of the district to
increase the proration of water for
ranchers needing it for their grow
ing crops.
This question of proration has
been brought up before the district
board of directors several times
within the past months. Meetings
were held, attended by representa-
tiveS Of the farming and dairying
industries of the county, each at
tempting to secure what was held
to be their rightful share of the
small amount OF water in the river
and canals of the district. The pre-
sent system of proration was ar
rived at after a careful inveStiga-
ton of the whole problem and
adopted by the board.
In line with this increase in the
amount of water to be allowed dur
ing the coming proration period
was a resolution adopted by the
board at its meeting this morning
allowing a reasonable use of water
for irrigating lawns in the cities OF
the county for limited period OF
time. This ruling becomes effective
next Monday and notice will be Civ
en- when this added irrigation is to
cease.

COTTON MEN BREAK AGREEMENT
Fail To Provide transportation For Work

ers. Drinking water and picking
sacks were also to have been furn-
ished the men but these too were
lacking
In the future, Sterrett said this
morning, if agreements to furnish
transportation and other necessi-
ties for work are not lived up to
by the growers. the SERA will feel
no responsibility to keep workmen
on these harvesting jobs.
An arrangement had also been
worked out whereby the use of men
ON the SERA rolls would be avail
able for harvesting of the valley IS
crops throughout the year and not
merely for the present cotton crops.
Failure Of the growers to provide
the requested transportation this
morning may make necessary new

j. 8. AGREE
UPON NAv|ES

LONDON, Nov. %. U.P)-British
and American naval delegates
have agreed that security, and not
equality of navies, must be the ba-
sis of any naval limitation treaty,
it was understood today.
This would mean that Great Bri-
tain had agreed with the United
States contention that Japan, lack
ing far flung possessions, does not
need, for security for attack, a navy
as large as those Of Britain and Am
erica.
Norman H Davis, chief Ameri'
can delegate. and Ray Atherton,
counselor of the embassy, talked
for two hours with prime minister
Ramsay Macdonald and Sir John
Simon, foreign minister.
II was denied that they intended
to present any united front against
Japan but it meant that, separate.
ly if not formally in unit. they
would oppose the firm japanese dc
pand for absolute naval equality.
1t was understood that the con
ferees decided the negotiations
must go on despite the absence OF
effective agreement.
After the meeting Davis went
golfing with Admiral William n.
Standley, chief Of naval operations,
and principal American technical
delegate, and outlined the discus
sion to him.

NEGRO SLAYER
EXECUTED At
STATE: PRISON

FOLSOM PRISON, Calf, Nov.
%. ,U.P)-Pat Noble, 44-year-old
Los Angeles Negro, went calmly to
his death on the Folsom prison
gallows here today.
He was hanged at 1901 &. m,
and declared dead 13 minutes later.
Highly emotional, it was thought
possible by prison officials they
might have some trouble with the
l9O-pound Negro, but he walked
unaided up the 13 steps to the gal
lows.
Noble was calm throughout the
morning He ate little breakfast
and his only request was for War
den Court Smith to notify the Le-
gal Aid society of San Francisco,
an organization which had been
interested in his case.
Mobiles was received at Folsom
prison July II, 1881, following con-
viction for the murder of his Wife'S
paramour, Walter VonS, another
Negro, whom he fatally slashed
with a razor.
The Negro soon won the pity of
the late Gov. James Rolph, Jr.,
who made three trips to Folsom
prison to interview Pat, and grant
ed him nine reprieves to give per-
sons interested in the case ample
time to determine whether Mobiles
had been convicted previously OF
a crime.
Since that time officials defi-
nitely determined the Negro had
served a prison term in Texas. A
two-time loser is not eligible for an
executive pardon, but must have
his case considered by the state
supreme court.
The court twice refused to take
favorable action.
