All Con G
Without Salves or Cutting

Itching, bleeding, protruding piles
go quickly and don't come back, if
you remove the cause. Bad cir
culation in the hemorrhoidal veins
causes piles by making the affected
parts weak, flabby, almost dead.
SalVes and cutting fail because only
an internal medicine can actually
correct the cause Of piles. DR.. j. S.
Leonhardt discovered a real inter
nal Pile remedy. After prescribing
it for 1000 patients with success in
960 cases, he named it HEM-ROID.

New York Stocks
By ELMER G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor


NEW YORK, March II. = Worry
over labor difficulties anticipated
early next week, and over the out
come of stock exchange regulation
discussions led many to unload
stocks in today'S short session.
Prices declined sharply near the
close with losses extending to 3
points,
The opening was tame. There
was little change in the early deal
ingS. Traders were interested in
news that Ferdinand Pecora, SEN
ate investigation counsel, was a Wis
itor on the floor of the exchange.
Word from Youngstown showed
steel operations had fallen 2 points
to 54 per cent of capacity. Other
sections were expected to report
corresponding declines.
Silver legislation booked for Mon
day was an uncertainty. Traders
holding the silver shares unloaded
and U. S. Smelling broke 3 points
to ll8H. Others declined corre-
spondingly
All other sections of the list de-
clined Railroad shares were off
fractions to more than a point;
utilities fractionally; steels a point
or more; farm equipments / to 3
points, and tobaccos point or
more.
Wheat futures sold off a point or
SO from early highs and other
grains sagged after early firmness.
Cotton futures were depressed to
around the previous close after a
rise. Silver lost part of initial
gains. Bonds were irregularly high
er. The dollar continued steady.
Stock sales today were approx
mately 100000 shares against 571 900
shares last Saturday. Curb sales
were 10000 shares against $4,000
shares last Saturday.
Dow-JoneS preliminary averages
showed: industrial 1Ol.65, off LOT:
railroad 48.40, off 0,37; utility 1888,
off 0.24.

HEARING HELD
ON REDUCTION
OF JUSTICES

Arguments brought forward by
county justices of the peace against
the proposed change in the pre-
vailing justice court plan for the
county were heard by the board
of supervisors at a meeting held
last night at the court house.
Judge Lorenz of Calexico acted as
spokesman for the justices present.
The giSt of the arguments pre-
sented by the justices of the peace
lies in the higher cost of the pro-
posed municipal system over that
of the one now in use. The new
plan, it was pointed out. would
necessitate two judges with clerks
and bailiffS for each court. Ad-
ditional expenses would accrue for
witness fees. jury fees, meals for
jurors, mileage, interpreters fees,
fees for doctors examining drunk
drivers and other office expenses.
The hearing was held to discuss
the plausibility of inaugurating the
new plan in the county. This calls
for one justice of the peace for
each 10000 population and would
raise the range of jurisdiction in
civil cases where money is con-
cerned from $500 to $1,000, thus
eliminating many small cases from
the superior court and enabling
it to speed up its calendar.

ST. PATRICK
HONORED BY
Ell CENTRANS

'Tis st. Patrick's day. and in
honor of the patron saint of Ire
land, many Ell Centrans today don
ned sprig of green.
1t mattered little whether or
not they could claim Irish blood,
they wore the green just the same.
Scandal nearly struck the city
when twas found that nary a
clerk in the Bank of Ireland had
bit of green on. The matter be-
ing called to the attention of Mr..
O'Havekorst, the manager, it was
soon remedied with all the boys
and girls donning st. Patrick's S
favorite hue.
Mr.. McHorne of the McSecurity-
First National, Mortified The Press
staff by paying a call and having
rosebud in his buttonhole. He
departed with a promise to i'm
prove his adornment and with
prayers by the staff that he would
do so.
Mr.. Kilemons, the State street
boat builder, kept himself under
cover during the day having dis
covered several years ago that he
made a mistake in thinking st.
Patrick was a Swede.
Postmaster Richmondigan tried
several hours this morning to OBJ
tain an Irish flag from Mr.. Mea-
ghersky of the Valley Tent and
Awning company, only to learn
that Mr.. Meaghersky had nothing
in stock but orange canvas.
There is an excellent chance that
Fire Chief Reamsovitch will be
across the street in the rear of
Mr.. Kilemons place before night,
having treacherously snucked into
the editors office and pinned an
orange ribbon on his coat.

BEYSCRLAG EXPLAINS TERMS
ON CROP PRODUCTION LOANS

New federal regulations place no
handicap on those ranchers obtain
ing production loans from the
Farm Credit Administration who
are cooperating with the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton in it's production control pro-
gram according to Frank Beysch-
lag, farm advisor. Information
from Washington, however, in
dicates that production loans on
products named as basic commod-
tiles in the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act will be denied ranch
erS who increase production. Loc-
ally he explains that this refers
to loans made through the El
Centro Production Credit aSSocia-
ton or thru any private finance
agency which rediscounts with the
Federal Intermediate Credit Bank.
Production loans are affected only
on the following products named
in the Agricultural Adjustment
Act as basic commodities: wheat,
cotton, hogs, dairy products and
rice. There are no restrictions on
production loans on other COM
moditieS.
The farm advisor states that this
regulation apparently was made to
coordinate the production finance
policy of the Farm Credit Admin
istration with the production con-
troll program of the AAA.
This coordination will be brought
about Beyschlag says by County
Production Credit Councils made
up of farmers who have signed
AAA contracts. Three such farmers
in Imperial Valley and three at
Bard who have signed cotton and
hog reduction contracts have been
appointed on the Imperial County
Council. 1t is the duty of this
council to pass on each loan made
by local agencies of the Farm
Credit Administration on the above
basic commodities. The council only
determines whether or not the ap-
plicant is cooperating with the
AAA. 1t has no other responsible
ity in determining the amount of
Illc lOdll, vi WllcllltI Vic ioe'ii 10
made at all or not.
In certifying with reference to
applications for crop production
loans to the Farm Credit Admin
istration, county credit councils
are instructed from Washington
to give consideration TO three
classes of cases.
l. Applicants for loans who have
signed one or more production

control contracts with the Secretary
of Agriculture. Execution of such
contracts is sufficient evidence of
cooperation on the part of the ap-
plicant as most of the contracts
contain provisions that the pro-
ducer will not increase his pro-
duction of any basic commodity
during the life of the contract
The planting of a larger acreage
February /, 1884, such as the
planting of an increased acreage
of winter wheat in the fall of
1898, is not a violation of con-
tract signed after that date, and
does not bar the producer from
participation in Farm Credit Ad-
ministration loans. Certification by
county credit councils is with ref
erence only to basic commodities
named in the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act, and need not be
made with reference to non-baSic
commodities.
2. Applicants for production loans
who have not signed production
control contracts, but who agree
not to increase their production OF
basic commodities in 1884 except
crops planted in 1888 for 1884
harvestD Such applicants must pro-
duce evidence satisfactory to the
county credit councils that they
will not use the loans to increase
their production of basic COM
modities in 1884 over their pro-
duction in 1888 or 1882, which ever
was the higher. Applications for
1884 loans, in order to be approved
must be in reasonable amounts to
finance acreage of basic commod-
tiles, not in excess of that grown
in 1882 or 1888. Further, the acre
age of all crops to be grown in
1884, should not be in excess OF
that grown in 1882 or 1888, which
ever is the higher.
g. Applicants for production loans
who have not signed production
control contracts, and who intended
to increase their production of basic
commodities in 1884 over that OF
1882 or 1888, which ever is the
higher. The council will recommend
the rejection of applications where
there is sufficient evidence that
the applicant intends to increase
his total crop acreage in 1884 oven
that of 1882 or 1888, which ever
is the higher. This restriction does
not apply to crops planted prior
to February l, 1884 for harvest in
1894

FARLEY'S ACTION RESENTED BY
POST OFFICE CLERKS LEADERS

by private industrialists that the
work was not there. He stated that
the drastic slashing and disorgani-
zations visited upon the employees
was for the purpose of saving mon
ey. He announced that service to the
public will be curtailed to make
them possible.
Farley's last annual report ad-
mits that practically all of the some
S100,000,000 saved during the last
fiscal year was at the expense of
the employees. He now proposes
that the employees shall have their
scanty wages, already cut about 25
per cent, still further reduced and
that the public shall pay through
the nose in further curtailment of
already poor service.

pervisors, according to B. A. Harri-
gan, agricultural commissioner, yes
terday sent a telegram to the sec
retary of agriculture at Washington
asking that growers be permitted
to can asparagus by March 20.
According to the code in effect,
canning cannot begin until April l,
but due to the demoralized condi-
ton of the market, growers will be
unable to ship much longer. AS
they must continue cutting unit.
April 1, whether they ship or not,
in order to be able to join the can
ming deal, permission is being asked
