NOW WE'LL PROGRESS
At Meeting Held at the Hall Last
 tuesday Evening a Farmers * Club Was Organized.

Last Tuesday evening a mum Der of representative citizens of Imperial and the surrounding country met at the hall and proceeded forthwith to organ- ize a club, hereafter to be known as "The Imperial Farmers Club" A preliminary start had been made at one of the sessions of the Institute held here last week, temporary officers having been elected. Temporary Chairman Edgar was not present, so the meeting was called to order by Temporary Vice-Chairnan Banta, after which permanent officers were elected. The officers who were elected at the Institute to fill the offices tenn porarily were made permanent, and are as follows:
 . w. A. Edgar, President
 T. P. Banla, Ice-president.
 w. E. Wisie, Secretary and Treas.
 It was brought before the club that all offer had been made by the Imperial Land Company to donate block of land to the town for park purposes, and it was deemed advisable 10 ap- point committee to investigate the matter and Wait upon the representa- lives of the company and learn just what the requirements were and tu report to the Club whatever they should learn.
 : A park, next to good streets, is what Imperial needs. If the plan of pro- ceedure Can be agreed upon, there is no reason why park can't be laid out and started right away.
 The club has an executive committee that bids fair to make it success. A great deal hangs upon the action and stand the executive department of any organization takes, and in this in- stance extraordinary care should be exercised, as a wrong move now would be hard to overcome in the future.
 The members of this committee are:
 ". A. Edgar
 T. F. Banta
 w. E. Wilsie
 J. H. Holland
 Thos. Beach
 The organization of this club marks a new era for Imperial and the valley if the members will only work in unison and do what it is the province of a club to dO In the history of nearly all wide-awake towns or conl- munities you will find that the maim- spring of every movement toward progress has been a club, or some or- ganization of representative men. who had the welfare of that particular place at heart. They have been in- strumental in securing new busi- ness houses, railroads, industries, and all things that help to make a place bristle with evidences of prosperity. And what other organizations of similar nature have done this one just formed can do. Let every member look 10 what is for the best for all con- cerned; do not let strife or dissention Come in the way of perpetual harmony and the battle is more than half won.
 A united and up-to date club has pretty nearly every thing its own way. Discussion is always helpful, and not meeting should be called without some subject being taken up and
