“A young California" is the way
the Kio d ramie Valley is described
by a number of the members of the
r»*xa> I’r**" A -sociation according to
•f. ||. Douglas a i leburne merchant
who is in Brownsville. Mr. Douglas
is the gue>t of K. Uansom editor of
the ( leburne Enterprise attending
the convention.
“Not mil'- are we enchanted by t.he
Magic Valley" said Mr. Douglas
"but the comparative prosperity of
this section in striking contrast to
a number of other places throughout
t!ie state is making a strong appeal.
“The rapid development of the
\ alley and the cultivation of the ex
tra ordinarily large crops astonishes
one. What farmers m other parts of
the state would consider very large
yields to an acre people down here
call doing ’tollihle well*.
“No better names I believe could
have been h-. stowed on this section of
t.he state than those of Magic Valley
and Young ( alifornia. With proper
development. I think the Valley wPJ
some day not bo a ‘young’ California
but will a> only a Magic Valley can
equal and perhap- surpass the fame
of the Pacific coast state.
“And Brownsville with its natural
advantages and location will be a
thriving city gradually growing."
That Brownsville would in a few
years be a city of 40.000 or .10.000
was predicted by City Manager
(leorge (Irupe an old acquaintance
of Mr. Douglas’ in discussing the Val-
ley’s future this morning.

OWN LIVES IN
1920 REPORT
Prohibition Divorce Given as
Reasons For Alarming in-
crease In Suicides
NEW YORK June 11 — Divorces
congested living conditions and en
actnient of the Eighteenth Amend-
ment are given as probable causes
for the alarming increases in the
number of suicides in 1920 accord-
ing to reports received by officers
of .the Save-a-I.ife League with of-
fices in this citv. Dr. F. L. Hoffman
statistician of the organization es-
timates the number at not less than
12000. Of these reported cases 707
were children he said the boys
averaging 15 years the girls 16.
Rev. Harry Warren president of
the league also declares that res
trictions in sale of narcotic drug-
helped to swell the total of unfor-
tunates who died by their own hands.
Dr. Warren cites many trivial caus-
es as the impelling force for suicide.'
One man was distressed because his
new suit did not have enough bat
tons on the s’eeves of the coat. An
other man rebelled at eating a le-
mon pie his wife hail constructed out
of turnips and glucose. A youth kil-
led himself because he was asked to
eat ham ami egg' for supper. A
woman became morbid because her
husband refund to partake of her
clam chowder. A couple disputed
over whethr rthe bedroom window
should be opened an inch or not less
than two feet at night. The wif’s ar
gument prevailed and the man kill-
ed himself.
Many of tin* suicides reported
were among prosperous individuals
md !>r. Huffman argues that no one
basic reason can be assigned for the
uicidal increase.
I»r. Warren believes it is possible
'o cut down the growing number of
divides by making it more difficult
for adults and children to obtain
firearms and deadly poisons. He
urges that children he definitely in-
structed as to the sin and futility of
I taking one’s own life. I
The Save a Life league was found-
ed a few years ago to cope with the
suicide problem. It offers the chance
of encouragement. Dr. Warren says
to persons in mental anguish who
may be tottering on the brink of self
destruction.
Hr. Warren has three methods
which he says are of value in reach
ing individual cases of world weary
persons. One is spiritual counsel a*1
other calm reasoning and the third
timely financial assistance.
The principal thing he says. i?
to reach quickly the mentally tor-
tured and advise them to look on the
brighter side of life. He says he ha
found it an easy matter to lM ' j
such persons to lives of usefuln<
and profitable service.
