Tli is was written lit llndt;c on
tlio Mojnve desert east of the
G'njon Pass over tlie mountains.
00 miles from the Los Anireles
Examiner offiee.
Motoring to the pass from
the oranpe proves, in blossom,
.'nil the long rows of roses in
full bloom, you pass automo
biles eomiiif? the other way,
down from Hear mountain.
They carry bob sleds and to
bogirans fastened across radia
tor fronts, skis fastened to the
running boards. Crowds no up
to pass the week end in the
'.snow, skiinvr, skating. Man
likes change of climate and
here he gets the extremes, in
half a morning.
Alfalfa grown under irriga
tion on the desert, by this writ
er and many other farmers, also
lias its extremes. The best price
offered here by the Southern
Flour & (irain Co. of Atlanta,
Ga., is .13.25 a ton. This indi
vidual, who raises thorough
bred horses at Allaire. X. J..
3000 miles away, pays 45 a ton
there. The difference is in
freight and in the hay. At least
50 per cent better ulfalfa here
than in the east, bright green

The most thankless job on

Kinotto and bis wife. He runs
a big dairy farm at I'hocnix,
Ariz., delivers fine excellent
milk at 10 cents a quart, certi

How eau real farmers deliver
milk to the dairy for 4 cents?
Mr. .Minotto raises beef cattle
on a 100,000-aere ranch north
of I'hocnix and sells the steers
is yearlings to save feed. He
can tell Mr. Swift of Chicago
that raising good cattle is pbi
lanthrophy, not business. Jas.

President Calls Upon Out

Drought Fund Fight
With Congress Looms.
W ASH 1 NO TO N, J a n . 1 1 --ivl )
The senate today approved the i
Democratic proposal lor a $-,-OOO.Ooo
n)propriation to the Red
CroHS for relief work, after re - j
jectlug an a mend men t stipulating
that the federal funds he usee.'
only in event the present I ted
Cross drive for $ 1 o.omi.noo in vol-1
untary aid fails by Feb. !. i
The federal appropriation was
sponsored by Democratic leader
Robinson and Senator 1! 1 a c k.
Democrat, Alabama. i
It is now up to the house,
where Republican leaders doubt
their ability to uphold President
Hoover, wh is opposed to the
government appropriaiion. i
WANIIINCTUN, Jan. li
Relief for the starving farm popu
lations of drought slates became
today the basis for a strah;ht-out (
8lriif4Kle between the president j
and congress. r
Determined to make a success
of the lied crotu drive for $10.
OUO.Oiiu, .Mr. Hoover called upon
a roup of outstanding citizens,
led by Calvin Coolirtge and Alfred!
K. Smith, to .sponsor the fund
raising. Const-ess was equally set upon j
enacting the proposal to hand the;
lied Cross $iTf.iiOO,ooo out of the
treasury. A vote approached i"
the senate on a motion to defer
confederation of the Item, which
was passed and then reconsidered '
Saturday. There was no prospect
of succcmh for deferment and
house lenders were seekinn a com
promise plan.
I'm "American Way"
Th Jlod -Crow drle in It a firat
week yielded only about $(100,000.
Leaders of the organization com
plained the congressional proposal i
was having an adver.se effect j
upon the campaign. Without '
mentioning the democrat ic-s'xm- j
sored project upon which congress)
is working. Mr. Hoover yesterday i
referred to the voluntary sub-1
script ion method of raii'inK relief j
funds as "the American way."
He used the term in announc-'
ins appointment of . his special (
committee. j
' It is essential." said the presi
dent, "that we should maintain j
the sound American tradition and.
spirit of voluntary aid in mjcI-. .
emergency and should not under-j
mine that spirit which has made;
our Red croHs the outstanding
Kuardian of our people in time
of disaster."
Yolo Hinted
There have been strons Intima
tions that Mr. Hoover would speak
even more plainly than that if j
congress persists in its present
plan, and a Veto has been hinted1
by his friends.
With former President Coolidi;e.
who has accepted the honorary j
chairmanship, ihe special drive
committee will have as vice chair-,
men. Alfred K. Smith, and John
W. Davis, last two Democratic
presidential nominees, (lonoru j
John J. Per.-hint; and Cenerar
Ahel Davis, of Chicago.
The proposal that the senate'
defer consideration of its relief!
plan came from Senator Reed,
Republican, 1'ennsylvanln, w h o
ursed this method of keepim; I ho
fund from conflicting with the.
Red Cross campaign. Yet Reed ;
is anions the Republicans who'
are ready to support the $25.001.-1
000 appropriation. Democratic
spokesmen have voiced a denire
to see the Red Cross drive mm -
coed also, but they contend cili-)
zens are without money to
tribute.

PRETTY STENOG
Note Indicates Suicide Pact
Girl's Parents Had
Forbidden Attentions of
Candler Butler.
ATLANTA, C.a.. Jan. 10. f
The "Inst trick'" of Jose Cruz, 3(1-year-old
Filipino ninutcur magician
and butler of Asa (J. Candler, Jr.,
was written into DeKalh county
records today as the murder of
MisH Gladys Frix. pretty 19-year-old
Kteuogrnpher, aud his. own sui
cide. After tlie discovery of .the bod
ies of tlie couple yesterday In a
parked automobile on thu Candler
estate, officers found a note jn the
Filipino's room, scrawled on a
child's slate, which said: "This is
my last trick and I hope you've en
joyed the performance."
On Cruz's body was found an un
signed note which said:
"To Whom It May Concern:
"fce Gladys Frix and Joe Cruz
are taking our own lives because
we love each other hut due to the
objections of Louise Frix (sister of
Gladys) and Mis. J. T. Clay (grand
mother), we cannot find a way to
he together in peace."
The coroner's jury did not be
lieve there was a suicide pact since
the note bore no murk from the
girl. Testimony before the coro
ner's jury showed that Miss Prix's
parents. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Frix,
had forbidden Cruz to call at their I
home or to Hte their daughter.
Other testimony from relatives of
the sirl said she had fenced Crux.
She made her lulal date with him
Saturday night.
Cruz came to Atlanta from Ma
nila about eight years ago.
lie aud Miss Frix met about six
months ago.
