New Marke ct Plan

Preliminary tabulation of the
ballots cast by watermelon grow
ers of the states of Florida, Geor-
gia, South Carolina, and North
Carolina during the meetings Of
referendum recently conducted on
the proposed marketing g-agreement
program indicates that a sub
stantial majority of the growers
concerned favor adoption of the

pose of providing growers with
an opportunity for registering their
desires concerning the agreement
and order
Shippers Of Watermelons from
the southeastern area also have

under consideration at the present
time. If the agreement is signed
by shippers who handled at least
30 per cent Of the watermelons

PLATTSBURG, Mo, April ID.
U.P)-Everybody in Plattsburg to-
day went out Of his way to make
things easy for Lloyd Lewis.
Lloyd is okay and we're still
proud of him." everybody said. "If
he did anything wrong, he didn't
know it."
Lloyd, who in his l8 years on
the farm never before got more
than 60 miles away from home, re
turned today from New York where
he was told that in winning Eddie
Cantor's peace essay contest he
had committed a strange offenSe
called plagiarism.
His essay on "hoW can America
Stay Out of War;" it appears, had
been written some years ago by a
fellow named DR.. Frank Kingdom,
who is president OF the University
of Newark.
That meant that the $5 900 schol-
arship Lloyd thought was his

would have to find some other
way of getting to college.
At the Kansas City airport
when Lloyd's plane from the east
arrived was a delegation from
Plattsburg-his history teacher, the
superintendent of schools, and the
man who runs the cleaning shop.
Gosh" he said, "I didn't sup

Terrible Dust Storms
Described in Letter

S. S. Bragg. who came to Imperial
Valley from Kansas 10 years ago,
was more firmly convinced this
week that his move of l6 years ago
was a wise one, and that Imperial
Valley has its advantages.
Rearding newspaper accounts of
middle western dust storms, Bragg
was inclined to doubt that the pic
ture was as black as painted, so he
wrote to his brother-in law, farmer
near Liberal, Kan. In part. this
was the reply he received from j. A.
Ritter, the relative:
About the dirt storms, will say
that 1 have never seen an article in
a newspaper that began to describe
some we have had. In fact, no one
could describe them. Some of these
old prairie dogs try, but their Eng
lish is faulty, and would not do to
write.
For the past month I have worn
goggles and a dust mask to go out
and do the chores, and did not stay
out in it any longer than I could
help. 1t is a fine, sticky dust. like
flour and causes a great many cases
of pneumonia. 1t Sits into the
house so badly we are sometimes
compelled to get our breath through

WORKERS MADE
TO CONTRIBUTE

LOS ANGELES, April Ia. WP)-
Government agents today opened
an investigation of charges that
WPA workers on sewer project in
Long Beach were forced to con-
tribute $5 monthly to liquor fund
for foreman.
The accusation was made by
Frank D. Davidson, defense witness
at the municipal court trial of Sam
Jones, Negro, on charges of dis
turbing the peace last April 3 by
leading relief workers in a demon
stration at state relief headquarters.
Davidson charged that the uniden-
titled foreman told him he must
contribute SIS month if he wanted
to retain his job.
They used it to buy liquor" Dav-
idson replied when Municipal Judge
William r. Mckay asked what was
done with the money.
A report on Davidsons testimony
was turned over to Major Lee S.
Dillon, personnel director of the
Works Progress administration in

to be completed this week.
Construction of the corrugated
iron building to cover the engines
began Monday. A lotion capacity
crane will be included in the
building. This crane will be used
in the case of repairs having to
be made. 1t is capable of lift
ing engine or generator parts
Weighing 10 tons, according to M.
j. DoWd, chief engineer of the
district.
Auxiliary Machines
The building will be "a feet
wide, 80 feet long and 38 feet in
height Auxiliary machines will
be installed in the basement as
will the auxiliary pumps for fore
ing heated water from the engines
to the cooling tower and back.
A cooling tower through which
water from the engines is forced
as a part of the cooling system,
was designed to Withstand a wind
pressure of 103 miles per hour.
The tower and the plant were de-
signed to make them as nearly
earthquake resistant as possible.
The oil to be used as fuel to
turn the engines will be stored
in an $4,000 tank above the ground
surface with an auxiliary tank of
10000 gallons buried beneath the
surface of the ground. Fuel may
be poured into the tanks from cars
on the nearby railroad tracks or
from trucks.
Four trained men assembled
the parts Of the engines and gen.
orators as they were unloaded
from cars on the tracks. They
used huge Marion crane to lift
and deposit the parts which in
many instances weighed hundreds
Of pounds.
Work Delayed
Contract for the $2280O engines,
generators, auxiliaries, and dis
tribution transformers was let in
March, 1884, and the Southern
Sierras Power company obtained
a temporary injunction holding up
development in August that same
year. This injunction delayed de-
livery of the equipment and also
development in Brawley until af-
ter the temporary injunction was
lifted Another temporary in
junction again delayed work but
finally work began in February.
The plant is situated on a 10
acre site on South Imperial ave-
nue. and DogWood road. There is
sufficient ground for a complete
plant, including a sub-station for
high tension lines from the ALL
American canal power plants when
they are completed, Dowd said.
Entirely Modern
The plants are modern in every
way, the engineer said, and were
designed to assure dependable sr-
vice. ~ -
: Eleven miles of poles already
are installed in the northend city
and stringing of electric wires is
expected to be completed tbs week.
A total of 20 men are working
on the plant and distribution sys-
tenn.
