Louisville, Ky, May 4.-UP)- Louisville is one hoSS town.
 The hoss is Johnstown, a big, six teen hands high business with a coat the color of concert piano and a white U" Of blaze on his nose.
 With the Derby just three sun- downs away, you all but have to look under rocks to find anyone who doesn't think that the Belair colt is a shoo-in, a cinch, and mortal lock to come churning down the stretch to win the flowers and the fame.
 Up until yesterday afternoon Der by speculation included such mane and tailers as Challedon, Techni- clan, Heather Broom, Fl Chico, and Viscounty. But then yesterday af- ternoon Johnstown eliminated them as topics of conversation by appear ing on the Churchill Downs track for mile workout. Just few hours out of a box car from New York (they still won't let horses, even champions, ride in the Pullman) and with Jockey Jimmy Stout all but standing in the stirrups to hold him back, the Belair beauty worked 5,280 (track parlance for mile) in 1:37 3-5. This was just fifth of a second slower than Viscounty ran the mile in the Derby trial to beat Technician, and Viscounty ran the mile in the Derby trial to beat Technician, and Viscounty finished under a reform school beating.
 Standout
 This look at Johnstown, a horse who not only has speed but is so handsome that if there were an equine Hollywood he would be the Tyrone Power of the place, con- vinced Louisville, from the goateed colonels to the kinky-haired stable boys, that the only way he can lose the Derby is to lose his jockey.
 And, believe it or not, there are more than few persons counting on just that thing happening. It happened once before to a Belair Derby favorite, you know. Granville was the horses name, and the Der by was the one that Bold Venture captured. And who do you think it was that fell of Granville? That's right, Jimmy Stout, the same boy who will have leg up on Johns- town. don't suppose any owner or trainer ever had worse luck with a horse than William Woodward and sunny Jim Fitzsimmons had with Granville. Preparing a horse for the Derby is no overnight job. It takes years, and Granville was aimed at the race from the minute he was foaled. Through colds and levers and bone injuries he was nursed. Through sunshine and rain he was worked. He came up to the start Q fit horse, keen horse. ready horse.
 Then. all the long months of work wont for nothing. Before he could gun SO yards he was riderless and his chance to become Derby win- ncr was gone forever.
 Horse story
 That's the hell of racing-any- ching can happen. Sitting in q taps room last night on old horesman told the true story Of Q certain Kentucky owner and breeder who, year after year, was cheated out of victories by hard racing luck. But he wns . philosophical fellow. and his Buck never was s0 bod thAt he couldn't find some reason for cone solution.

Far in Front in
EIeetrificotion

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ELECTRIFIED!
That seems amazing, and it is amazing, that
Imperial Valley should lead virtually all the agri-
cultural sections of the United States in electric
power available TO farm homes
In 1885, before the Rural Electrification ad-
mnstration in full operation, only one farm
i'm every ten had electric lights In 1898 this had
jumped to farm in every six. But that is still
long way from 100 per cent. 1t means that of the
nations 7,6S0,000 farms only Is per cent have
electricity.
In 1889 Imperial Valleys 10000 population had
electric power available to nearly all. Only few
scattered farms in outlying sections not near
enough TO a power pole to hook on. Of the estimat-
ed 10 900 persons who do not have power available,
by far the bulk live in adjacent TO towns. This
area will be served by additional system which
will be started within go days by the Imperial lr-
rgatOn district
That means that by the end of the year the per-
centage without power will be negligible,
Imperial Irrigation district power is available
now in ALL of the Incorporated areas of the val
ley. Nev-Ca Electric power is also available in
these areas. In the rural regions. district power is
available through more than 600 miles of lines that
are distinct from the several hundred miles within
valley cities

On May 18 1886 the first shot was fired.
That date of the opening Of the diesel plant
of the Imperial Irrigation district at Brawley and the
date when the first customer hooked to district INES
Since then district lines have spread all over the valley
On Nav IA 1889 lacking only few days of being three

By the end of the month orders
had been placed for generating
units at Drop 4 and for additional

APRIL, 1938-Ground was broken
for an addition TO the Brawley
plant
JULY, 1938-Bids were called for

AUGUST, 1938-District was in
formed that a PWA offer for an
additional grant of 1855 900 and
loan of $1,045 600 Tor enlargement
of the power program must be ac-
cepted by popular vote by Oct. /.
This included funds for a hydro
plant at Drop 3. two new engines
at the BraWley plant and included
funds for building 105 miles OF
extensions to transmission lines, to
serve 5000 more customers.
SEPTEMBER, 1938-The second
PWA offer was approved in a gen.
eral vote by a majority of "a to
one, the most one-sided vote in
valley history.
DECEMBER, I938-All of sub
stations at 13 points in commission
and power available over REA

History of the development since
1895 is a series of important dates:
MARCH, 1937-PWA offered the
a loan and grant OF S2,760 900 doan
of 81 l,518.0O0 and grant Of 81 ,242 ,000)
for construction Of power project
including a hydro electric plant at
Drop 4 on the All American canal.
Provisions were included TO double
the size and treble capacity Of the
Brawley diesel plant.
MARCH, 1937-Contract was en-
tered into with the REA for a
loan of 100000 TO build a rural
electrification system.
JUNE, 1937-PWA proposal rati-
fled in a general election by a 8
TO one majority.
Meanwhile, suits We're on file
brought by the NeY-Cal Electric 10
restrain the federal government
from advancing money TO the dis
trict under the PWA proposal.
JANUARY, I938-The U. S Su-
preme Court upheld legality of the
PWA program OF loans and grants

only what, Larry" when ne
hesitated.
He blurted il out. He has two
good legs and I'm fool enough to
be all choked up with sour
grapes.
1T made me furious TO see him
dancing with you-on his two good
legs"
I'VE won't do that sort of thing
any more" Kay promised. She,
too. had spent sleepless night.
Her best efforts seemed OF no
avail as far as Larry was con-
eerned.
When she got him nicely
smoothed in one spot he broke out
in another.
While she had succeeded in get
ting him stronger. healthier, with
saner outlook his lethargy had
changed to irritability.
Hopefully she considered iesl-
ousy as a reason for his bad tenn
per, but dismissed the idea as
fantastic.
Larry didn't care a snap of his
finger for her. He had made that
quite clear.
All day he worked over his
drawings. At 4 he asked Kay il
she'd mind taking them to Judd.
He was tired would rest until
she came back Kay went, glad
to get away
Tension
! In spite OF Larry's apology there
was a disquieting tension between
them.
She and Judd went to the drug
store and talked over the party.
She told him something of Craig
Sheffield and her father and
mother.
Judd agreed that now was no
time to think of restitution. They
said nothing of Larry's attitude.
At last Judd asked, Have you
heard of the Finn, Kay"
She hadn't and he went on to
explain. Hes a queer duck here
in town.
Runs massage psrlor and
gives baths in the Finnish fashion.
The people swear by him. I
wonder il he could do something
for Larry"
They went to see the Finn whose
peculiar name was beyond pro-
nunciation.
His broken English was difficult
to understand. but he promised to
call on Larry the following after
noon.
So much time had been spent
with sodas and the Finn that it
was almost dark when Kay drove
into her dooryard.
Going into the livingroom she
saw Larry slide something under
d COucn CUSHION.
He was quiet and taciturn.
Not six words were spoken DUR
ing the evening meal.
Kay Discovers
After Larry had dragged him.
self up to his bedroom Kay dis
covered what he had hidden under
the cushion.
1t was a movie magazine. Bren-
da Brent's face smiled out from
the cover.
1t was in color and glorified
the gold in her hair, the violet of
her eyes.
Her luscious lips curved sveetly.
She wore Larry's pearls around
her throat.
Under the picture was the cap
ton, Has Brenda Brent found
love at last ?"
Kay set her teeth and read the
article. AS in most articles, which
promise so much in their titles,
| lHere was nOlnlng ue1lnite.
Allusions Made
Allusions were made to the
fiasco of her marriage to Larry
Corbet. Several men were men,
toned vaguely.
Brenda was portrayed as love
martyr bravely pathetic.
Kay tore the cover page off
and threw the magazine in the
fire. She found pins and fastened
Brenda's smiling face to the wall
above the mantelpiece.
Her small face was white with
anger.
"Now-maybe that'n teach me
my place" she muttered furious
ly. Kay had practically reached
the end of her own particular
string.
