abundance of the genuine Egyptian

The United States imports in Egyp-

in a few years supply this demand and

Not alone in n-growing does I'm
nerial valley exceed, but in alfalfa,

Tben is it little wonder that farmers
of the valley raise from bale to
hale and a half of cotton to the acre,
while many boast of ten to fourteen
TONS of alfalfa hay to the acre per year
and 1000 pounds of barley grain from
\ seasons crop per acre, and farmers
make the entire cost of a well improved
farm out of the first years crop. 1t
is no wonder. And that is why former
president Roosevelt in a recent address
to congress said that the land in the
Innnerial valley would be worth from
$500 to $500 per acre soon. 1t viii be,
loo lust as surely as any southern
California land is worth today $1,000
So also will Imperial valley irri-

TELLS JEFFERSON CLUB
GOOD BOSS is ALL RIGHT
Milton X. Young Advises Members te
Vote for Least Objectionable
of Many Candidates

Political Bosses" was the subject of
the address made by Milton K. Young
at the noon luncheon of the Jefferson
club yesterday at the Hollenbeck no.
tel. He said in part:
1.-THE political boss is considered to
be a political leader and holds some
thing of a political trust. N-does not
hurt a man to be q boss If he bosses
in the right way. The fact is 1t really
requires a boss to do good political
work, and the absence of boss shows
a lack of political progress. We must
have a boss to do political business.
"There are good bosses and there are
bad bosses, and while I think 1t well
to organize into clubs like the Jeffer-
son club, I do not advocate the stick
ing wholly to party in this coming
election. We should decide on the
best men and work hard for their
election.
II am not going to push the interests
of any of the candidates In my talk
here today, but I think 1t best to
look all over the big crowd of candi-
dates and see which are the least OBJ
iectionable and put them into office"
