gram for national defense such as

Legion can this nation be assured
of lasting peace, said Quinn. He
spoke as an official representa-
tive of the American Legion, Of

the American Legion, and par
ticipated in by all valley Legion
posts, veterans organizations and
many civic and fraternal groups.
The program, beginning with a
parade through the streets of CAL
exico in the morning, included
the program at the city park,
free lunch at noon, and a foot
ball contest in the afternoon.
Recalling the armistice OF 10
years ago and the war which 1t
brought to an end, Quinn blamed
unpreparedncss for its great loss
of life.
Lives were sacrificed" he de-
clared, because We were luiled
into false sense of security"
The United States should fight
only when its boundaries or its
national honor are threatened
but it should at all times be pre-
rared 10 defend its rights, the
speaker said.

week before Master in Chan
Gerry Isaac Pacht in Ell Centre,
were continued to December z, in

The Imperial Irrigation district
case against the power company
is set for December 8.
Both cases involve the right of
the power company to stretch

gam. The power company sued the
county to prevent refusal of per-
mission to run the lines over coun-
ty roads and highways. The dis
trict sued the company to prevent
stringing of the wires over district
irrigation canals and drain bitches
Pacht was taken to various parts
OF the county Tuesday afternoon

strung over the highways. He was
shown the big dredges used by the
district in maintaining and con-
structing canals and drainage
bitches and how they are moved
along county roads under power
company light wires. He was ac-
companied on his trip by attorneys
for county, district and power
company and by a court steno-

PASS THE BONUS AND
GO TO OTHER MATTERS

There is every indication that the
soldiers bonus will be taken care of in
the near future. Since the days of Wood
row Wilson, the question Of full payment
Of veterans has consistently risen as
ghost to trouble candidates, parties,
elections and congress. Mostly it has
troubled presidents. Consistently, it has
been vetoed by Harding Coolidge, Hoov-
er and Roosevelt. Still it persists and
grows in power, insistency and import.
To all appearances, the results of the
many years of effort are about to bear
fruit and if it ever is to materialize now
is the best time Heretofore, the magni-
tude of burden on the government in
weathering the depression was unknown.
Today, public confidence is that within
less than a year, this mounting burden
should come to standstill and start
dwindling. The money can best be used
now, to stimulate spending and general
financial strength, doing far more good
than several years hence when condi-
tions should be entirely normal.
