WILL RAISE DATES
 AND EUCALYPTUS
Company Organized to plant Valley Lands for Permanent Investment
 and for Subdivisions.

An ambition to advance the grow ing of dates on commercial scale and to aid in supplying the increased demand for hardwoods of the euca- lyptus varieties has caused several Imperial Valley citizens to associate themselves together for the planting of considerable tracts of land to these trees.
 A meeting was held at Brawley Saturday afternoon, at which the Im- perial Valley Date Palm and Farming Company came into existence. It is to be incorporated under the laws of California, with capital stock of $50,000. The board of directors con sists of !. W. Jennings, Dr. J. Lebert Cook, T. A. Kellogg, M. D. Witter and w. T. Dunn, of Brawley; Mrs. Gene vieve Williams and Lewis Havermale, of El Centro, and W. F. Phelps, of Portland, Oregon.
 It is the purpose of the company to start with at least 320 acres of land, located in the immediate vicinity of Brawley, which city is designated as the principal place of business. Sec tions will be set to the eucalyptus ros- trata and rodus, an to tried varieties of the date palm. It is expected that some of the choice stock which was brought from Algeria, Africa, last spring by Bernard G. Johnson, of Mec- ca, will be set on the proposed date plantation and that considerable acre age will be devoted to this class of work
 In connection with the tree-growing project, it is proposed to seed land to alfalfa and to raise high grade cattle and hogs, and to keep a string of mares for raising mules.

asked to be specific as to his
wrong doing they point to his ap-
pearance before the State Legis-
lature while he was a private citi-
zen as an attorney for the Baking
Powder Trust. They do not at
tack specifically his record either
as Congressman, Governor or SEN
ator. When asked to give the
facts they wander out into a will
derness of generalities and lose
themselves. Had Stone not at
tackled the corporations when he
was Governor he would never
have been attacked by them for
being their tool. Had he been
useful to them in the Senate the
Post Dispatch would have shut up
like a clam or would be now
shouting his praises. We devote
much space to this matter because
we are determined that the people
of this county shall not be misled
as to the facts. We regret we
have been compelled to use the
language here set forth, but un-
fortunately it is the only language
that will state the facts.

The Crisis of the Nation.

Belshazzar, with his wives and concubines,
Within the palace drinking costly wines;
The Persians enter the unguarded gates,
The king is slain, the realm capitulates.
The Spartans, once bold and hardy race,
Who feared no risk, or enemy to face,
Strong drink caused them to degenerate,
And brought their country to servile state.
King Alexander, skilled in art of war,
Was called the great Emathian Conqueror,
Held undisputed sway over all the world,
In ev'ry cline his banner was unfurled.
Twas he on the Gaugamelan plain
O'erthrew Darius and his countless train;
Yet he, his bright career but just begun,
Was overcome by wine at Babylon.
And Noah, in his tent o'ercome with wine,
Should for all ages be warning sign:
Awakened from his drunken lethargy
Pronounced on Ham the curse of slavery.
The race,now free from that unhappy plight
Some still are slaves to drink; the appetite
Is in the sons of Shem and Japhet found,
And all alike are by its fetters bound.
w. c. JOHNSON.
