I'll help you pack" She went up
the stairs.
1T was a long time before he followed
her. The contents Of his dresser
were on the bed and Agnes was trans
ferring them to his bags. He came
in and sat watching her.
He must have been thinking it over,
realizing what he had done to her.
Now don't talk" She hated her
self for the almost historical tone of
her voice. "I'll help you. but I can't
work If you're going to talk any
more"
oh" He looked at his folded
hands. After a while he said: you
always understand me, Agnes. What's
eating me. anyhow"
She slipped shirt into place, trying
to make her voice casual. "Oh. you've
just grown tired of your work and
this house-and me-"

was always here to help you-to COM

celebrate when they were bright"
Careful Agnes bit her lip
and damned his safety razor viciously
into its compartment.
She cried in sudden pain, gazing
down at the blood beginning to ooze
from deep cut on her finger. The
blood came more rapidly and with it
began to flow the hot tears that had
been burning to escape her feverish
eyes. Her head fell to her arms and
her shoulders quivered with the sheer,
useless tragedy of-eveything.
Like q warning note, something In
the back Of her brain kept prodding
her: her tactics were bad: Chuck
would think she was crying to keep
him here; he'd hate her for it; a
wife doesn't :.
But then she was in his arms and
the hot tears on his face were min

and the organization is ready to func-
ton in that direction as soon as the
material is received.
Last week Mr.. Sanders said he
thought the required 80 percent OF
growers here could be signed to the
cooperative movement. At that time
he estimated it would require ten
DAYS or two weeks to get over the
county and contact growers.
The sign-up program is based on
the condition that similar cooperation
is accorded in Virginia, South Caro-
lima and Georgia. A meeting has been
planned in Virginia to set the ma
chinery in motion, while the South
Carolina legislature is now working
on a compacts bill, and in Georgia, &C
cordlng 20 reports, voluntary sign
up has already started.
Planting begins in Georgia within
the next two weeks, to be followed
two weeks later in South Carolina,
and then in Eastern North Carolina
around the first of May, to be follow

Walter D. Wagner association
secretary, read the history of the
association and the financial state
ment.
Evan T. HeWes, chairman Of the
Imperial Irrigation district board
of directors, and T. E. Allen OF
the Coachella Valley County Water
district, welcomed the visitors to
the south. The two districts are
co-hosts for the two-day conven-
ton.
The visitors were welcomed to
the city by Councilman j. P. Eyer,
as representative of the municipal
ity.
Financial difficulties through
which several districts in the state
are emerging after reflnanclng
were outlined by Wagner who ex-
planned how the municipal bank
ruptcy act had aided irrigation
districts to emerge from the load
of debt and begin TO operate on
a cash basis.
"Refinancing not only is a ben-
eft to the landowners of a given
district" Wagner declared, but
also enables the bondholder to get
payments which probably would
have been impossible without fin
ancing."
Since the irrigation district act
was passed by the state legisla-
ture in 1887, said Wagner, it has
been amended at almost every
session of the legislature. Changing
times and changing problems make
the many amendments necessary.
Legislation affecting irrigation
districts was scheduled for dis
cussion at the afternoon session.
A dinner for delegates was to be
served at the California hotel Fri
day night and Saturday was to
be devoted to a tour over the
All American canal route and the

Sheriff Ware and Police Chiefs
j. Sterling OSwalt. of Ell Centre
and Lon Cromer of Brawley with
District Attorney Elmer w. Heald
were sin Los Angeles federal court
to show cause why they should
not be restrained from interfering
with the broadcast. On their de-
serted desks in Ell Centro and
Brawley were frantically worded
letters demanding their personal
protection for the Communist par
ty speakers, whose later court
action took the officers out of
the valley.
Tense Situation
The speakers who bought time
on the air from the Ell Centro sta
ton are ESco L. Richardson, Com
munist candidate for congress, and
Bessie Keckler, Communist can
didate for the state assembly from
the San Diego district. Why Miss
Keckler is carrying her campaign
into Imperial county, outside the
district in which she seeks elec-
ton, was not explained.
The speakers arrived in Ell Cen
tro at lao p. m. by bus.
The Communist tactics resulted
in a tense situation in Imperial
Valley. Regarded by Sheriff Ware
as indirectly connected with plans
for an Imperial Valley lettuce
strike this fall, the plans of the
San Diego Communists brought a
feeling similar to that during a
lettuce strike two years ago. AT
that time A. L. Wirin, then attor-
ney for the American Civil Liber-
