IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
WE'RE STILL SOUND

Despite all our modern hullabaloo and
the more or less frothy influences we
have permitted to creep into our nation
al life, the good sense Of the American
people is still on the job.
This fact is demonstrated every so
often and the instance we have in mind
at present is the decision of Judge Kene-
saw NJ. Lands, the nigh commissioner
of baseball, that Edwin c. Pitts, former
Sing Sing prisoner, and known as Ala
bama" Pitts, is entitled to a chance to
play professional baseball.
We have never had a very exalted
opinion of Judge Lands, believing that
he likes to play to the grandstand. His
reputation was founded on sensational
ism and the fact that he fined the Stan
dard Oil company S29,000,000 when he
was a federal judge, a fine later on re-
versed by higher courts. 1t may be that
even in the present instance the judge is
only meeting the popular side of the
Pitts matter, for the sentiment of the
country has been that Pitts should be
permitted chance to make good after
having paid his debt to society.
1t is this attitude on the part of the
people that pleases us more than the de-
cision given by Judge Lands.
Minor officials in organized baseball
Hdu I6IuSeQ " permit llIS " play,
whitewashing their prejudice against him
as an eX-convict by the claim that they
did not wish to establish precedent and
that their adverse decision was not aimed
at him personally.
They would not be establishing a pre-
cedent. If they would review the files
of organized baseball they would find
out that very prominent big league
pitcher some years ago got into trouble
with the government over the wartime
draft law He served term in prison
or Jail and later rejoined his team.
But that is aside from the principle
involved in the Pitts case Pitts paid
his debt and is entitled to chance to
make good If he is big enough to live
down the taunts of the thoughtless; even
if he is big enough to want the chance
to live them down, he certainly should
be given encouragement and assistance
to do so.
The big thing to us is not whether
Pitts plays or doesn't play but that the
people want him to have the chance to
try it. We can't be such a bad lot after
all. If one only pokes deeply enough
he will find most of US pretty much all
right.
Of course what Mr.. Hoover said to the
Stanford students is all wrong-if we
are like the ostrich with his head in the
sand.
1t must be pretty tough on the legiS-
lators to return to hum-drum life after
the 1ast l6 weeks at Sacramento.

RUMORS HINT
MACDONALD To
VISIT CAPITAL

Copyright, 1885, by United Press
LONDON, June Irresponsible
American quarters have heard un-
officially that the government in
tends to send j. Ramsay MacDon-
aid, former prime minister, on a
good will mission to Washington.
No official intimation mas been
received that Macdonald might
visit the United States, and author
itative British quarters described
reports of a possible visit as fiction.
1t seemed possible, in view OF
conflicting statements, that some
British leader, probably MacDon-
aid, might visit Washington if the
idea were encouraged.
Reports in usually well-informed
newspaper circles first mentioned
the idea, and said that members
of the cabinet were considering it
in line with their policy of seeking
close American cooperation in view
of pending world problems.
1t was understood in American
QudTUtTS here GlldJ IL Oilc ouBSCo-
ton. for visit by Macdonald
were made officially, he would be
assured a cordial welcome. But
United Press inquiry disclosed SER
ious American doubts whether
visit by the former prime minister
to President Roosevelt could ef-
feet in concrete form the desire of
the cabinet for closer collabora-
ton.
II was pointed out, for instance,
that Macdonald might be doubted
to be qualified to discuss currency
stabilization, and, moreover, Am
erican officials are convinced that
Great Britain is unwilling TO risk
the prevailing easy money by en-
tering an agreement before the
parliamentary elections, now ex-
pected around October.
Conversations about the Far East
too, were considered of somewhat
doubtful utility except on the pre-
sent diplomatic basis, as neither
government is deemed ready
actively to oppose Japan's advance
in China.

PENSION PAY
REFUND MADE
BY RAILROAD

Distribution Of approximately
S850,000. impounded under provis-
ions of the railway pension act,
among Southern Pacific employees
in six western states was being
completed today, following the re-
cent decision of the supreme court
declaring the pension act unconsti-
tutional.
Partial return of the pension
funds accompanied the company's
pay check Of June 5, it was an
nounced by local representatives of
the railroad. The remainder Of the
special checks, numbering 64,368 in
all, are now ready for delivery, they
said.
Sharing the refund are $500
employees and former employees of
Southern Paciiics lines, extending
from San Francisco to Ogden and

cording to the announcement.
Under the terms Of the railway
pension act, two per cent of the
railroad employees pay up to S3OC
a month was withheld for the pur-
pose Of the retirement fund, it was
explained. The railroads were di-
rected by the act to double the
amount paid by each employee.
The deductions were made over

UNCLE WIGGILY CANDY BOX

When Buster and Duster, two OF
Uncle Wiggilys little rabbit boys.
asked him, one day, for 10 cents,
the rabbit gentleman wanted to
know what they were going to do
with so much money.
Are you going to buy an auto
mobile or a motor boat?" Uncle
Wiggily asked. But by the way in
which he twinkled his pink nose the
rabbit boys knew their daddy was
cnly teasing them.
We're going to buy candy" said
Buster.
In a box" said Duster.
And weu give you some,' went
on Buster. Il mean some of the
candy, not some of the box" he
added with a laugh for he knew his
father wouldn't want to eat part of
the box.
THAT is very kind of you," said
Uncle Wiggily But I'm not very
fond of candy. SO you may have
it all yourselves. But why do you
buy candy in a box? Isn't the kind
you get in a paper bag good
enough?"
"Oh, yes" Buster answered. But
if you buy candy and they put it
in a paper bag, and if you put the
bag in your pocket and play around,
it gets sort OF hot and the candy
sticks to the paper bag"
Makes Lots of Work
And it's lots of work to lick the
candy off the paper bag after it's
stuck to it," said Duster. That's
why we get a 10-cent box OF candy
that doesn't stick and then We di-
vide it and throw the box away"
why do you throw the box
away?" asked Uncle Wiggily. why
don't you save it?"
"Tisn't any good!" laughed Bus
ter.
Not when there's no more candy
in it" said Duster.

CHANCE TO BUY FARMS

Announcement tn a I commissioner
loans for the purchase of land will now
be made in Imperial Valley, is of prime
Importance to this community and should
receive the careful consideration of
farmers who are awake to the possibili-
ties open to them here now and more
particularly in the future.
Previous to the announcement last
week that such loans would be made by
the FFCA (Federal Farm Credit Admin
lstration), commissioner loans here were
limited to emergency purposes, such as
paying oil taxes, Indebtedness or for
working capital.
Undef the new arrangement it is eX-
pected that the tenant farmer will be
able to get credit for the purchase of
land to the amount Of IS per cent of the
banks appraisal of the value of the
land. The rate of interest will be five
per cent and for the first three years
the borrower pays only taxes and inter
est. For the next 10 years he pays back
10 per cent of the loan annually
One of the cardinal sins of the valley,
leaders in all fields have told US repeat
edly, is that much of the land is owned
by outsiders and far too little by those
actively engaged in farming it.
Here is a chance for progressive farm
ers TO become the owners of the land
they are working on liberal terms, over
a period of years not sc long as to make
ii seem as though real ownership would
never come, yet long enough to enable
the borrower to make the payments re-
quired.
Completion of Boulder dam, and the
elimination of water troubles resulting
therefrom, should be of great encourage
ment to the farmer to become a land
owner. In the not far distant future
the All-American canal will be complet-
ed, adding TO the assets Of farming in
this community.
This being an all-year'round farming
community, the real farmer has a better
opportunity here than anywhere else.
BY means of the commissioner loans,
the number of home-owned farms in I'M
perial Valley should be greatly in
creased. Scott B. Foulds, at the farm
bureau office and W. E. Walters, man.
ager of the Credit Production Corpora
ton, are in position to give interested
farmers all the information and assist
ance they may need. Farmers should
consult them to learn more about the
plan and should do it now, for the SOON
er the start is made, the sooner real own
ership is achieved.

sadly. Instead of singing his

a new nest and she is in hurry

Here is where I can help you, "
said Uncle Wiggily Take this emp
ty candy box. Fasten it in the tree
where your OLD nest was. Line it
with soft grass and you'll have a
new nest in half an hour"
"Oh, joyl" sang Mr.. Robin. He
called his wife. Together they lift
ed the empty candy box high up
into their cree. Quickly they lined
it with soft grass. Then, while Mr..
Robin sang q song to thank Uncle
Wiggily, and flew to get worms to
feed his wife, the lady Robin be-
gan to lay eggs in the candy box
nest. She, toe, was happy, SO was
the rabbit.
When the little robins were
hatched they sang very sweetly.
Perhaps it was because they lived
in such a sweet candy box nest.
