VALLEY LEADS
CALIFORNIA In
BUSINESS GAIN

THE Imperial Valley appears to
be leading California in the extent
of its business improvement. Gains
are being recorded here that are
not equalled in any other section.
This was the comment made
Monday by o. G.. Horne, vice pres
ident. Ell Centro branch, Security
First National Bank, after receiving
from the head office of his bank
July business figures for Ell Centre
as compared with those of other
sections of the state.
"El Centro business houses report
increases of 20 per cent to 100 per
cent or more in the volume OF trade
in July, as compared with July OF
1885. For Los Angeles this figure
was nine per cent. Agricultural
cities in the San Joaquin Valley
show increases of seven per cent,
10 per cent, and Is per cent; in one
instance 80 per cent" said Horne.
I'm some instances FL Centro hhs
shown gains two or three times as
great as those recorded elsewhere
Imperial Valley is Leading Calllor
MIA in business recovery"
The local business upswing is
stimulating many lines of trade,
Horne reported, among them hard
ware, electrical equipment, dry
goods, automobiles, tractors, ETC.
Factors contributing to the i'm
proved conditions are, in Horne's
opinion, better agricultural prices,
due somewhat to eastern drought
conditions, larger summer popula-
ton in the valley, and bonus pay
mentS.
The very satisfactory melon sea
son Just closed has stimulated prices
for good vegetable leases, the local
banker reported, with a general
stiffening of prices. The present
movement of baled hay, believed to
be one of the largest on record, is
destined also to have a salutary ef-
feet.

SAFEWAY AIDS
FARMERS WITH
MARKET DRIVE

Creation of wider markets for
California's basic agricultural pro-
ducts by stimulating increased con
sumption has been the object OF I'VE
intensive farmer consumer cam
paigns waged by Safeway Stores,
Inc. during the past six months, II
has been announced.
The campaigns which have been
praised by farm leaders throughout
the country were conducted in be-
half of various industries repre-
senting beef, lamb, citrus fruits,
dairy products, and canned peaches,
Milton F. Heller, divisional man
ager of Safeway Stores, Inc, for
san Diego and Imperial counties, IN
announcing results of these i've
campaigns said that additional
farmer-consumer erusades would
be waged during the balance OF the
year.
This plan to help agriculture was
originated by Safeway nearly i've
years ago when sheep men were
faced with financial ruin because OF
enormous surpluSeS." he said.
In that critical period Safeway
through extensive newspaper ad-
vertising and increased safes efforts
marketed in excess of $4,000 lambs
in two days.
This cooperative movement re
sulted in immediate financial saliva,
ton for the sheep industry and led
to the Inauguration of these farmer
consumer campaigns which have SO
successfully demonstrated the ad-
vantages of the chain store method
Of distribution"
Praise for the help extended to
their respective industries as a re-
suit of these farmer consumer cam
paigns has been voiced by officials
Of the National Livestock and Meat
board.

New York socialite and heiress to
two fortunes, was held in the prison
ward of the county hospital today
while an autopsy was held over the

ford 81, who apparently died Of

she collapsed in Mysteries upon dis.
covering Bradford's body on the

Mrs. Bradford told her attorneys
and Mrs. Hortense Sechrist, close
friend and local executrix of the
Van Rensselaer, estates, that she
awakened yesterday and found
Bradford dead in their home in
modest section of Pasadena.
He had been drinking for
months" she related. II heard him
come home during the night and
stumble over the furniture. I had
had a few drinks myself the same
night-only a few though-and was
too sleepy to get up. When l aWoke
in the morning I saw him on the
floor"
Mrs. Bradfords screams upon
finding the body caused neighbors
to call police. While her huSbands
body was being examined at the
Emergency hospital, the widow was
treated for bruises she said her nus
band inflicted in a quarrel week

With the peach season getting

Robert Hays of the Ell Centre cham

Growers of the Beaumont reg

of the Beaumont Fruit and Cold
Storage corporation, inform me
that within a few Gays, the peach

section. There will be demand for
more men for picking and packing

to fill. While there will not be
demand for large groups, quite
number can be used"

at a reception in MeXicali yesterday.
Ragsdale's trip, on which he made

decision thus would be left to the
federation as a whole.
Lewis and his associates, who de-
clined to appear at the council trial,
have indicated they would argue
their defense if permitted to do so
at the convention.
Outright suspension by the coun-
ell. however. would prevent the
seating of delegates from unions af-
filiated with Lewis committee of
industrial organization. The con-
vention. in that event, would be al
most certain to ratify the councils

AREN'T WE ALL

WASHINGTON-WOr in Senator
Theodore G. Bilbo'S pecan orchard were
muzzeled to keep them from eating too
many nuts, it was testified during a Sen
ate hearing Friday
Judge Edwin R. Holmes, confirmation of
whose appointment to the Fifth Court of
Appeals bench was being opposed by the
Mississippi senator, told in statement about
visiting Mr.. Bilbo while the latter was in
jail on contempt conviction.
The Senator received me cordially and
stated that he just wanted to talk to me-
Judge Holmes said. "He was very inter-
eStlng, giving me an account of the pecan
orchard; how the pecans are gathered in
the fall by little negroes; how he had to
muzzle them after they had finished, as
they would eat pound in day and carry
OF another IN their pockets when they
left"
And they are condemning Bilbo for a
little thing like that when our economic
system is nothing but that!
Why should Bilbo'S pecan pickers be
treated differently from ShoelesS shoe
makers, homeless carpenters and brickIav-
ers, hungry butchers and bakers, ragged
clotheS-makers, hitch-hiking automobile
workers and naked cotton pickers?
is the whole capitalist exploitation rack
ct anything else but muzzling the OK that
treads the corn?
Why then get excited over such pettv
larceny as muZzling pecan pickers Am
erican Guardian.

Let Us Get Ours F;
By Il. L. MAURY

There is nothing certain about
the national governments future
action in public work and relief
matters except that every course
is uncertain. The visible revenue
from Montana to the United States
treasury, Ii. E., the income taxi is
small. With all the invisible taxes,
cigarette taxes, liquor taxes, added
prices for tariffs, ETC., il is estim-
ated that In all, this state pays
for the upkeep of national affairs
about Il million dollars.
Of course TO the absentee land
lords In profits that they make
out Of Us, in utility rates, interest,
and such drains, we probably paw
above so million dollars the year
above what we get back. For In
stance, the insurance companies
alone usually get 13 million dol
lars the year ont Of this state and
pay back less than 5 million the
year.
Then the railroads gOuge US
probably out of 20 million dollars
the year. The Northern Pacific
after paying 604 million dollars
dividends, 400 million dollars In
terest on its bonds, has a surplus
OF 185 million dollars. One fourth
OF its mileage is In Montana. 1t
has made doubtless one fourth Of
eleven hundred million dollars out
Of rs. To be frank it has gotten
more money out Of this state than
the present value of all the prop-
erty left In the state. The Great
Northern has done almost as well.
Delinquent taxes on farms and
other homes have reached % mil
hon dollars. The legislature got
optimistic last year and figured
that if all penalties and interest
were forgiven, the people could
and would pay most Of the princi-
pal before December 1. Everybody
that could pay did pay, but the
total was hardly 2 million paid
leaving the total bigger than il /
was before.
In some counties farms are be- /
ing snatched By treasurerz. An
the time the burden Of taxes here
is growing and the profits made 1
BY our landlords is growing faster.
We must lower the classification
On farms and homes and exempt
small holdings. We must amend
me state constitution to permit
