F. Howe, who read the paper given
elsewhere, and bearing explicitly on
these lines of thought.
Stoddard Jess, vice president Of the
First National Bank of Los Angeles,
responded, telling of the deep interest
with which he had watched the devel-
opment of Imperial valley, and fore
casting the certain advance that lies
before it. He spoke of the great pos
sibilities that lie here in the sugar
beet industry; the possibility of grow
ing garden seeds on huge commercial
scale to supply the entire West, and
the certainty of developments in cot
ton culture and other lines of agricul-
ture that will make of Imperial valley
one of the richest and most notable
agricultural districts of the United
States.
He promised the hearty cooperation
of Los Angeles business and financial
interests in the future.
John S. Mitchell, president of the
Ocean to Ocean Highway Association,
gave a comprehensive talk on the
plans of a great system of highways
for the coast. He declared that since
his present visit to this valley he had
become more than ever convinced that
two highways would be built from I'm
perial valley to the coast, one to Los
Angeles and the other TO San Diego.
Naturally, he gave a boost to the high
way by way of the Coachella valley
and Banning.
w. F, Holt spoke briefly and gave
practical ideas on the general matters
under discussion. He stated that in
his opinion the best solution of the
road proposition was for the state to
divide it's appropriation for the Impe-
rial valley highway between the two
routes and then let the counties
through which the roads would pass
supply the balance of the funds re-
quired.
He said that in regard to the gen.
eral financial situation he believed that
the banks of Los Angeles could well
afford to join in raising a fund of
100000 to be loaned at reasona-
bic rate of interest to imperial valley
settlers at the rate of 81 100000 year,
and that this would be highly pro-
fitable investment for both Los Ang-
eles and Imperial valley.

VALLEY MAY HAVE
FOUR HUNDRED ACRES
OF EGYPTIAN COTTON

Developments of the past few days
make it certain that Imperial valley,
center of California's new cotton in
duStry will this year enter on an era
of raising Egyptian cotton on COM
mercial scale. Present indications are
that Imperial valley will plant 300 to
400 acres of Egyptian cotton this sea-
son.
A meeting was held in Ell Centro the
first of this week, at which time in
terested valley ranchers were met by
Argyle McLachlan, field man III
charge of the extension of Egyptian
cotton culture in the United States,
for the United States agricultural de-
partment, and by w. A. Peterson, SUI
perintendent of the government exper-
iment station at Bard, in Imperial
county, where experimental work on
Egyptian cotton has been in progress
for several years.
These men discussed with the ranch
ers the general rroDOsition and de-
mands were made for seed that will
indicate that the total will reach the
acreage mentioned above. The pros
pect is that there will be about 100
acres each in the vicinities of Ell Cen
jTO, f1OltNllle, Imperial ana BTdW1eN.
1t is probable that ''long staple
cotton committee" will be appointed
by the California Cotton Growers AS
sociation to assist the ranchers in han
ding this particular, crop.
Three hundred and fifty pounds of
selected and acclimatized Egyptian
cotton seed will be shipped to Ell Cen
tro next week, for distribution for
spring planting. Messrs. McLachlan
and Peterson recommend that the seed
be planted from the middle of March
to the first week in April, and they
ask that those entering this field OF
work be governed by the advice of the
government experts entirely through
the crop raising period.
For nine years this experimental
work has been carried on by the gov
eTnment i'll the Salt river and Colorado
river valleys. Last year at Bard L
acres of the cotton was raised from
selected seed and this sold on the New
York market at 207s cents per pound
while short staple is bringing abou
cents per pound. 1t cost 2R cents
per pound to pick the Egyptian cot
ton, as it must be picked absolutely
clean Indians and MeXicans were en-
ployed for this labor and proved very
satisfactory.

Well, well, Well?'
Mr.. Brown presented John Norton,
president of the Ell Centro city trus-
tees, who gave in we'll chosen words
a warm welcome to the visitors.
James Slauson, president of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, re-
sponded and stated that he had not
been in Imperial valley for four years,
and that while his visit on that occa-
sion had been revelation to him as
to the wonderful progress this valley
had made, the present visit had
brought an astounding revelation of
what had been wrought in the past
four years. Mr.. Slauson said that Los
Angeles today realizes more than ever
before the wonderful richness of the
great empire that lays at it's doors
and that Imperial valley people may
be assured that Los Angeles will do
more than ever before to send it popu-
lation and assist it in other material
ways.
Mr. Brown then gave brief talk,
in which he outlined the fact that for
some time past a sentiment has been
growing among valley people that Los
Angeles was not living up to its op-
portunity and doing it's whole duty in
aiding the development of the great
Southwest, and he then introduced E.

EXCURSION WAS GREAT BENEFIT
TO BOTH CITY AND COUNTRY

At a little luncheon of Los Angeles
men at Hotel Oregon at midnight last
night John S. Mitchell of the Hollen-
beck Hotel and president of the Ocean
tC Ocean Highway Association made
the remark to his associates that he
considered the conference here the
frankest and most satisfactory meet
ing in all his experience with Chamber
of Commerce excursions. And un-
doubtedly among the visitors and the
residents of the valley there is a feel
ing that Los Angeles and Imperial val
ley are closer today than they ever
before have been, that they understand
one another better, because of the eX-
cursion. Friendly frankness was the
keynote of the whole visit, and proved
prize winner.
After visiting Brawley, Imperial, Cal
exico and Holtville yesterday, being
greeted by the citizens in each place,
the train reached here from the latter
town at 4:30 and the visitors were
escorted through the cotton seed oil
mill and thence through the industrial
district into town. Many were taken
for automobile rides, and in the even
ing there was an assembly of visit
ors and citizens of the valley to dis
cuss mutual interests.
At the Opera House
After a concert on the street by the
FL Centro Concert Band, the visitors
filed into the Opera House, and with
the citizens assembled to do them
honor the house was filed to it's ca
pacity.
The band rendered several selec-
tions. and was warmly applauded. J.

SCARS THAT STAY.
They Come From Cuts That Go Dowr
TO the True skin.

ID VIC iIhS ONlh'
There are people who tell you hat
everything in the body Is changed ev
cry seven years and that there Is mo-
part of II which was there seven years
ago. This does not mean that we
slough the whole thing off at once as
n snake does its skin or deer its ant
lers, but simply that the innumersblc
and tiny atoms which are used VI by
the daily wear and tear are replac$
10y fresh atoms supplied by our food
and drink. which keeps the body going,
Just as coal and water keep the steam
engine at work.
But these changes are so minute and
gradual that the form Of the body re
mains the same, although such things
as scars take n long time to disapI ear,
and sometimes they remain for life, al
though they always lose a great deal Of
their prominence.
You have noticed that IL you cut your
finger slightly it will soon heal up and
the scar will soon disappear, just as the
marks Of n superficial burn will grad
ually go away, but II the cut is deep
the scar remains. This is because il
went down TO what is called the true
skin. Any cuts or burns on the outer
skin are gradually pushed up and worn
or washed off, just as the hair on the
back Of your head wears Off without
your cutting 1t and grows again, hut
anything that goes down to the true
skin, like tattoo marks, always re-
mains.-New York Sun.
