There is no more reason, however, to
believe that the Republicans cannot get
together in the next campaign than
there was to believe the Democrats could
not get together in 1892. There must
be an impelling motive beyond the mere
desire to throw the Democrats out. They
believe they have found it in growing
dislike for Roosevelt and the New Deal;
the Roosevelt spending program and the
higher taxes that are sure to come.
Already Democratic efforts are being
made to make the public debt appear
small. Take the Presidents recent
speech in which he said that great
bankers" had told him the public debt
OF the country could run up to fifty or
even seventy billions Of dollars.

MCCONNELL FOR DIRECTOR

One week from tomorrow voters OF the
Imperial Irrigation District will go to the
polls to choose two directors a treasurer
and an assessor-collector.
One of the directors will be chosen
from Division No. 2, the Ell Centre I'M
perial district Candidates for the Office
are Ira Aten, incumbent, and Leslie NC
Connell.
The Press will support Mr.. Mcconnell
for the office, believing him to be eXcep-
tionally we'll equipped mentally, physi-
cally and morally for a position which
is going to be exceptionally strenuous
during the next four years.
During that period the All-Amerlcan
canal will undoubtedly be completed.
It's construction and completion will pre-
sent numerous problems to the board OF
directors of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, which will require them to give the
greater part of their time and energy TO
district affairs.
Mr.. Mcconnell has been a resident OF
Imperial Valley for the past 2O-odd
years, during which time he has been
engaged in ranching with the exception
of the war time when he enlisted from III
Centre to serve in the army. He mas
been a successful rancher because OF
strict attention to his work, giving 1t the
same care that any successful business.
man does in commercial or industrial
pursuits.
His knowledge of ranching and the
problems confronting the rancher, make
him an ideal man for the district board,
for only those who know the rancher ana
recognize that his interests are para
mount in Imperial Valley, can nope 10
deal successfully with irrigation district
problems, all of which, in the last analy-
sis, directly concern the rancher.
Opponents of Mr.. Mcconnell have
made the ridiculous charge that he seeks
election to the board so that the power
developed on the All-American canal
may be turned over to private concerns.
ONLY fool would dare harbor such
thought, much less attempt to carry it out,
and Mr.. Mcconnell whatever else his
opponents may charge, cannot be consld-
cred a fool. The people of Imperial
Valley have gone on record that the full
resources of canal power must be theirs
to develop and distribute and Mr.. Nc
Connell has publicly announced, verbally
and in print, that he is in full accord
with the plans of the district board to de-
velop the power for the use of the people.
He has pledged himself to cooperate
with other directors in businesSlike adj
ministration of the affairs of the dis
trict Imperial Valley is now entering
on its greatest period of expansion. Sue
cessful businessmen, with courage, in
tegrity and ability, are required to steer
a clear course for the district board. Mr..
Mcconnell answers the description He

ARCHEOLOG|ST
|. LOCATES LOST
SONORA CITY

NOGALES, Ariz., Jan. 30. U.R)-
A lone archeologist was returning
today to the mountains of North
ern Sonora where, he reported, he
discovered tombs of a race of giants
seven to nine feet tall.
Crossing the international border
only long enough to equip himself
with fresh supplies, Paxton c. Payne
hurriedly departed again for what
he believed to be "The Lost City
of Sonora.'
Decaying walls of houses, II feet
thick, were described by Payne who
said the "lost city, was situated in
green valley entrance to which is
screened by a high waterfall.
According to his graphic descrip-
ton, he stumbled upon the ruins af-
| ter penetrating long valley which
narrowed into deep canyon. A
cataract tumbling down from a
wall of rock gave the appearance
of closing the canyon but upon in
| vestigating he found a narrow cave
leading back of the falls.
Crawling through the tunnel, he
came upon a second verdant val
ley where he found the neanderthaA
mummies, he reported. He said he
also found many furnishings and
implements among the ruins of the
village.
The "Lost City of Sonora has
been a legend among Mexicans and
Indians for centuries. Tradition
says it was inhabited by a race of
giants. Ethnologists who ave
sought the city in vain for years
hold to different theories but some
claim the original inhabitants were
I the last of the Toltecs who ruled
the country centuries before the
| invasion of CorteZ.

MUCH DISEASE
IN WAKE Of
RIVER FLOOD

CLARKSDALE, Miss, Jan. 20.
U.P)-The threat of flood waters in
the North Mississippi delta defin-
itely was abating today as the over
flow drained swiftly into huge ma
tural reservoirs at the base of the
Tallahatchie Valley. #..
Sickness which followed tn e
flood was increasing. Relief work
ers in the area reported an epidem-
ic of influenza, pneumonia and
whooping cough among the 10000
refugees in relief camps.
The known death toll stood at 81,
and was expected to increase as the
waters subsidized from the present
inaccessible lowlands of the Cold
water river basin.
The homeless are being cared for
in box-cars, churches, schools and
other public buildings in the area.
The rich farming country lying
behind the Tallahatchie river be-
tween Sumner and Webb was being
flooded today as the waters raced
southwark into the lower valley. 1t
was not expected to cause a major
crisis however.

Starting tomorrow, Cramer'S bak-
cry will offer in all local stores, a
new and better loaf of bread, Leo
Madden, manager of the bakery, an
nounced today.
The new bread is the result of
several weeks of experiment at the
local bakery, in an effort to devel-
op a loaf of bread which will meet
the requirements of the public and
at the same time come within the
limits of manufacturing costs.
The new loaf. Madden believes,
fulfills all requirements and will
Immediately become popular with
valley residents.
1t has been named the Butter
cream Loaf" and as such will be
placed on the market.
"It has been found that a dry
loaf is more popular with valley res
identS that what is known as a
wet loaf" Madden states. Our
patrons will find the 'Buttercream
loaf baked through and through,
and it is needless to state that the
highest type of ingredients are
used, that being the standard by
which Cramer's has reached the
front rank among bread makers in
Southern California, or anywhere
else for that matter"
"Buttercream Loaf" is longer, has
more slices to the loaf and is de-
signed to fit the standard size toast
er, which Madden points out is an
other reason it is certain to find
instant popularity.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FOOTSTOOL

One morning when Uncle Wiggily
hoped out of bed in his hollow
stump bungalow, the jolly old rab-
bit gentleman gave a cry Of pain
and skipped about on one foot.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed. "Ouchie,
Wowchie, dowchiei"
What is the matter?" asked his
wife who was hurrYing down stairs
to help Nurse Jane get breakfast
for the little rabbits.
Its my rheumatism" said Uncle
Wiggily. Il must have caught cold
in one foot and 1 can't hop on it.
Ouchl How can 1 go looking for
adventures when there is so much
rheumatism pain in my left hind
foot?"
Cant you use the red, white and
blue striped crutch Nurse Jane
gnawed for you out Of a cornstalkP"
asked Mrs. Longears.
"I1l try" said Uncle Wiggily,
who was very brave. He didn't
mind pain very much and he knew
he must hop about if he was to
have adventures. But when he
started out, leaning on the crutch,
the pain was worse than it had
been at first. So, after hopping a
short distance from his bungalow,
the rabbit gentleman had to hop
back.
Send for DIR. PosSum
Send for DR.. Possum," he told
his wife as he sat down in an easy
chair. ''He will give me some medi-
cine to cure this pain"
When the animal doctor came he
looked at Uncle Wiggily, he looked
at his paw, he took some medicine
out of his bag of powders and pills
that he carried in the curl of his
tail. Then DR.. Possum said:
You must not hop around any
more, Mr. LongearS."
What! Never hop any more, DR.
Possum?"
"Oh, you can hop again in a few
days" said the animal doctor. But

would not hesitate to tell us their
honest opinions. In all instances the
verdict was favorable, and we are
certain others will agree with them.

Dried Grass
Send some of the children out
to pull up some dried grass in the
field where there is no snow to
cover it," said Uncle Wiggily to
his wife. You can stuff the soft,
dried grass into the carpet cover
of the old footstool and it will do
nicely"
"Yes, do" said DR.. Possum as he
hurried away.
Giving her husband an old sofa
cushion to rest his paw on until
the old footstool could be stuffed
again, Mrs. Jongears sent Buster
and Custer out to the field to pull
the soft, dried grass which would be
the same as feathers for stuffing.
The rabbit boys found plenty of
grass in a sheltered place where
no snow had fallen. They were
glad to do something for their
daddy.

LOOK AT NO. 81"

We're doing great. Imperial Valley is
out to break another record and all in
dications point to its success. The best
indicator is the big 81" which will be
found on page one of this issue, meaning
that four persons have died in this coun-
ty since the first of the year as result
of traffic accidents.
Last year we had SO such fatalities in
Imperial county. That is an average of
three month. So far this year we have
made it four for the first month or an
indication of 48 for the year. AS there
are still two more days to go before the
end of January, perhaps we can make it
five and shoot for high yearly total of
co.
You are sick and tired of reading
"junk" about traffic accidents? So are
we, and we are also sick of writing about
them. But we are even sicker of reading
of the accidents CD that cause us to
write these things
If there were any need of these deaths,
if there were any excuse for them; IT by
the loss of lives something were gained,
we would not feel so much concern about
them, but they are utterly useless and in
most cases entirely unnecessary. If the
deaths of SO persons in the county last
year inspired the rest of us to be little
more careful, even then it might not be so
bad, but here we are, starting off new
year and making things worse than they
were.
Isn't there anything that can be done
to make this community realize that it is
wasting lives? Can't car drivers stop
taking chances? Is there any one of us
to whom time is so precious that we
must take a chance with death in order
to gain a few seconds
We'd be tickled to death to quit writ
ing like this but there is only, one way to
stop and that is to have no more fatal
accidents. Judging from our present
pace that is as useless as asking some one
to give us the moon.
