ORIENT PER|LS
WORLD PEACE
ROTARY TOLD.

The war conditions in the Orient
are more threatening to the United
States than the armament situa-
ton in Europe, according to Paul
Jenkins, publisher of the Post and
Press, who gave resume OF the
events of 1887 at the Thursday
meeting of the Rotary club.
Jenkins declared that Japan in
attacking China is interested in
obtaining China as market. The
open door in China, he said, has
made her the customer of the Unit
ed States, England and European
nations to the detriment of Japan.
Important local events of the
year, he listed as the constant
progress of All American canal work
and the execution of the districts

ton in beet growth; and the in

FARMERS TOLD
NOT TO RUSH
BEET PLANTING
Gradual Development of
Crop in l. V. Held
Advisable

w. w. Robbins, sugar beet
expert from Davis College,
Wednesday warned Imperial
Valley ranchers against
large scale sugar beet oper-
ations until production is past ex-
perimental stages, at a meeting of
growers at the Meloland expert
ment station.
Robbins, who has experimental
in sugar beets for many years, re-
minded valley growers that there
are many phantom sugar beet
factories in the west, because farm
ers in those sections plunged into
large scale production before the
crop was proved.
The state expert, however, en-
couraged growers to continue to
plant comparatively small acreag-
es and continue to carry on expert
ments to determine whether or not
the valley can be made into sue
cessful sugar beet producing area.
BY planting small acreages for a
few years valley growers can learn
more about the crop and later
correct mistakes.
Robbins outlined experiments
carried out at Berkeley and expert
cussed a program to bring about

HUNT BEGUN
FOR MISSING
.CALEX|C c AN
Wife Calls for
Search, Fears
Foul Play

CALEXICO, Dec. 30
Sidney Norton, 37-year-old
tractor contractor, is the OBJ
ject of a statewide search
today following his disap-
pearance from his home at 52l
Paulin avenue at II o'clock We'd
nesday morning.
His wife fears he may have met
with foul play, she said, when she
requested that the search be made.
When he failed to return at the
usual time Wednesday night, Mrs.
Norton asked Calexico police to
search for him. AS far as can be
determined, no one has seen Nor
ton since he walked out of his
home to visit Calexico businessmen
in search of work, Mrs. Norton said.
He left the family automobile at
home, took little money and no
extra clothing with him.
He is we'll known among ranch
ers and businessmen throughout
Imperial Valley, as he has engaged
in tractor work on various ranches
for more than three years. They
lived in Oakland for some time
but returned to Calexico in No.
vember to make their home. While
he has been out of work for about
three months, his wife explained,
there is no reason for him to be
worried and he gave no indication
OF worry or dependency.
When last seen he was wearing
Il three piece navy blue suit with
small white flecks, light tan Stet-
son hat with narrow brim, and
tan oxfords. He is 81 years of age,
is five feet, seven and half inch
es in height, weighs 1865 pounds,
has light brown hair, and gray
green eyes.

DR.. HEFFERNAN,
PIONEER DIES
I'm SAN DIEGO

Dr. w. T. Heffernan, one of I'm
perial Valleys first pioneer resi-
dents and the man who poured $40
600 into the early development Of
this desert area, died Thursday
morning in San Diego.
Funeral arrangements for DR..
Heffernan have not been made.
They are in charge of Ralph Swer-
ingen, former Calexico resident.
DR.. Heffernan first became in
terested in the development of
Imperial Valley while he was a
government physician at Fort Yu-
ma Indian reservation in 1890. He
met Charles lockwood at that time
and loaned money for surveys and
plans for bringing water to the
desert. 1t was he who helped Rock
wood get the famous Hanlan op-
ton to the key lands for any T.

Also aboard the yacht were armed

A. H. Feger of Glendale, died a
few moments after he was taken
from the wreckage of an automo-
bile driven by Robert l.. Holt, 10,
Glendale, who is engaged to marry
Feger's daughter, the youth told
officers after the accident. Holt
was employed by Feger to drive his
automobile, he said.
Holt, who plans to study medi-
cine, escaped with minor injuries.
He was treated at the county hos
pital and then transferred to the
county Jail pending official inves-
tigation of the accident.
The fatal accident occurred at
7 o'clock Wednesday night while
Feger and Holt were en- route from
Yuma to Los Angeles. Holt told
officers he lost control of the car
at San Felipe bridge, that it swerv-
ed from side to side, rolled over
