AND IF thy BROTHER BE WAX.

Social refernaers find in Chapter
rs Of Leviticus strong warrant to-
the stand they take on various ques
tons concerning personal and econ
omic liberty. All who accept thu
Bible as the word Of God, after
studying the above mentioned portion
Of the Scriptures, must admit that
in the general scheme of things il
was not at oil intended that land
should pass into the absolute pos.
session of any one person OF
group of persons but that it
shall remain and be the possession
of the Creator alone. "THE LAND
SHALL NOT BE SOLD FOREVER:
FOR THE LAND is NINE; FOR
YE ARE STRANGERS AND So
JOURNERS WITH ME-" Even those
who question the religious authority
of the scriptures must agree that
they constitute . most important
work on the intricacies Of human re-
lationships, and Chapter Is points
out the solution of many of the prob
lens which arise from the unequal
distribution Of weather. opportu-
nifty.
The great problem Of today, the
right to the use Of the land, is there
solved for the chosen people Of Is
rael Every fifð year was ap-
pointed to be a year Of jubilee when.
those who had waxed poor and lost
their substance or had become hired
servants to those who had prospered
should each return unto his own.
Land should revert from purchaser
to original owner and the hired ser
want was given his liberty and al
lowed to return unto the possession
Of his fathers. To those who wish
I'd to redeem their lost possessions
was offered the opportunity at any
time they might find themselves pros
porous enough to do SO. To those
whom ill luck followed was always
given the hope that eventually things
would be made right. This insured
against the calamity of our days, a
hndless, homeless class. At the same
time, by permitting the absolute sale
of labor products, thrift was encour-
aged and shiftlessness must feel then
as now the pinch of necessity while |
the submergence Of the unfortunate |
was prevented.

How very complacently we look

their King. Tell them he was SO
degenerate that when Great Britain

To Fight Parcels Post

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-The an
nOuncement that direct competition,
national in scope, between the Wells
Fargo Express company, and the fed
eral parcels post will go into effect as
soon as the plans which the company
has been maturing for the past four
years can be set afoot, was made here
by C. R. Granam, traffic manager of
the company, at a hearing Of the state
;ailroad commission.
1--WE are in constant communication
with other express companies" said
Mr.. Graham, land although they have
not yet signifled to us their final de-
cision, we hope they will fall into line
Competition, he explained, would ex-
tend to both rates and services, with
special regard to eggs, butter, poultry
and other perishable foodstuffs, to be
delivered direct from shipper TO con-
signee, thus eliminating the middle
mans profits.
Eleven pounds will be the maximum
weight acceptable, as with the parcels
post.
Edward p. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe railroad, was expected to
testify before the commission at mis-
own request to present the railroads
side of the express rate question now
being looked into by the commission.
I'm the handling of merchandise
matter on the graduate scale our rates
or course are higher than those fixed
in blanket form for the different par
cells post zones by the government both
for the long and short hauls," Graham
explained. "But in commodities that
are perishable we can underrate the
competition on the long and are try
ing to do the same on The short haul
rates.
AT present very little Of the food
we eat and drink, that is distinctly Of
California product, goes direct to the
consumer. The middleman receives it
and then parcels it out
Our revenue today for packages of
IL pounds or less is 2O.55 per cent
of our total revenue and yet this bus
mess constitutes 62 per cent of the
entire business from the standpoint Of
weight or tonnage"

Sheep a Winter Spray

Pacific Rural Press: We talk Of
spraying our trees during the winter
to kill insects and fungus troubles of
trees. Other ways of overcoming tree
pests may be pretty near as good as
winter spray and one Of those is a
general cleaning up Of vineyard or
orchard by livestock or plowing.
The good Of turning sheep into a
vineyard to prevent serious injury from
the vine hopper was related at the
Fruit Growers convention. The main
idea was to give the sheep some mex
pensive feed, but the result invariably
was that they ate up all the food that
the hopper wanted and the latter had
to starve or move away, freeing the
vines from his attack the following
season.
Similarly a growth of weeds or grass
along the fences or irrigation was in
variably reported to be a shelter for the
hopper. Livestock are certainly a fine
thing to have around a place and if
they can consume a lot Of waste
growth that helps to hide pests Of
trees or vine they are an added bene-
fit.

No CHANGE In Plans

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 9.-After
listening to reports from almost every
fruit growing district in this part of
the state, the executive committee of
the third National Orange show unani-
mously agreed that there will not be
the slightest deviation from the plans
for the show as originally outlined.
The show will be held larger and more
beautiful than ever, in this city, Feb
ruary II to %.
There is an abundance of the finest
fruit in every district yet available fo-
making exhibits, in spite of the adverse
weather conditions Of the past few
days. Not single cancellation of space
has been made and on the contrary
many sections have already sent In
word that they will be on hand with
even better display than they had
originally planned to make.
Following the report that the fruit
men are standing solidly behind the
show, the committees have taken up
their work with renewed energy and
San Bernardino and the fruit growers
will demonstrate to the world that they
are. equal to any emergency, and will
make the third National Orange show
worthy Of the great citrus industry
which it represents.
The great fruit exhibit tent, built
| especially for the National Orange
show, is now enroute from the manu-
facturers, and the indications are that
every foot of space in the two great
tents will be occupied by exhibitors.

TELLS OF SUCCESSES IN
VALLEY DAIRY BUSINESS

w. j. B. Moor Of Covina has been in
vestigating the dairy business of the
valley, and writes the Press as follows !:
"a few days ago a man went back
to Texas with $1,000 cash, who eleven
months ago had only $3.50. He had
bought a string of dairy cows, paying
500 cash, the balance on monthly
instaliments out of his cream checks,
running the cows on the rented land.
Besides supporting MS family, he
cleared over 800 per month on an
initial investment Of 800, plus a little
brains and muscle. If he had more
brains he would have stayed and
waXed rich in a few years.
"a Swiss, who can now talk lit
tie United States, yesterday paid $4,000
as a cash payment on quarter section
Of land, and then had over $4,000 more.
He came to the valley three years ago
with wife and baby and S2.15 and
went to dairying. Now see what he
mas done, $4,000 IN three years, with
brains and muscle and wife and baby
and S2.15. He has also two more
babies, but this thrifty Swiss has
missed but one milking in three years,
and I'll bet he didn't play pool once.
''But he will soon be able to take
it easy, if misfortune does not over
take him, for he has got a good lead
"But we don't forget the marvels OF
bovines' golden orchards, from which
we have hauled SO many loads of mug
gets, while rolling in so much butter
fat, where Imperial valley dairy farms
support more cows per acre the yeal
| around than any other dairy country
| in the world, and ships per cent more
cream and butter per cow than any
other dairy section, the result of per-
petual green feed.

Arctic Party Starving

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-The committee OF
the projected German Arctic eXpedi-
ton which is to explore the nOrtheas.
passage has learned that the prelimin-
ary expedition which is now at SpitZ-
hergan is short Of food. 1t is reported
that a majority Of the members Of the
expedition have succumbed to starva-
tion. A dispatch from Christiania says
that Ritzchelw, a member of the eXpe-
dition, reached Adventure bay on De-
cember 2i, half lifeless from cold and
hunger. He said the survivors Were
on the north coast Of Spitzbergen and
were only provided with supplies for {
month. He and others had been senl
to seek help. The other were unable /,
get further than Widji bay.
This is the first news of this eXpe
dition since the end of last August
when the Hamburg-American steam
ship Louise, while on pleasure cruise
sighted the expedition.

TO DO ONE DEFINITE TASK
IN OPENING THE HIGHWAY

forward in the spirit San Diego has
: to help build the road its advocates
the Press would be in favor of the
county cooperating with the city ir
road building between Brawley and
| the Riverside county line, but thus far
there has been little but hot air tc
come out Of Los Angeles in this con
nection. The case may be different
! some of these days, and when it is ap-
parent that Los Angeles and Riverside
counties have entered into the project
Of road building on the desert, this
newspaper will do its utmost to further
the project, carrying out the plan for
a grand circuit road.
As for the Yuma road, the Press is
eager to see it constructed at the
earliest possible date, and believes il
should be built at the expense Of the
entire county. But it does not believe
that it should be built by taking money
from the special fund raised for the
San Diego road, so crippling that pro-
ject that it cannot be carried out.
By what process the Yuma project
can be financed the Press does not at
tempt to say. 1t only assumes that the
money raised for the San Diego road.
beneficial to every part Of the valley,
ought not be diverted from the pur-
pose for which it was created
Another feature of this is that the
state highway commission has adopted
the San Diego-El Centro road as a por-
ton Of the state highway system, and
the county is pledged to put the road
bed in condition for the paving which
the state will eventually lay. For the
county to fail TO perform its part Of the
work would endanger the entire high
way project, which the county cannot
afford to do.
The use Of this money will be con-
sidered by the supervisors at their
meeting next Monday. 1t is highly de-
sirable that the subject be presented
by those interested, not from a sec
tional point of view, but from the point
OF view of good faith toward those
with whom contract has been made
and for the welfare Of the entire
county.

SALT COMPANY BRINGS SUIT
TO RECOVER ON JUDGMENT

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-As an af-
termath Of the recent decision Of Judge
BOrdwell in the superior court regard
ing the claims against the California
Development company, the New Liver
pool Salt company yesterday filed suit
in the United States district court
against the California Development
company and w. H. Holabird, receiver,
for S45S,247.13. This is the amount
Of judgment against the California
Development company for s456,T46.23
with s150O.90 as costs. The plaintiff
also asks interest on the amount Of the
judgment since made, January 10.
1908.
1t is asserted that December 13,
1909, the superior court Of Imperial
county, in an action brought before it,
with the Title Insurance and Trust
company as plaintiff and the California
Development company, the Southern
Pacific company, Southern Pacific Rail
road company, Inter California Rail-
way company, New Liverpool Salt COM

Compania de Terrenos Aguas de la
Baja California (sOciedad anonima), as
defendants, and Boaz Duncan as inter
venor, appointed w. H. Holabird re
ceiver of the California Development
company. 1t is alleged Mr.. HOlabird
took possession of the property of The
California Development company and
now is receiver.
The complainant asserts this order,
while duly made as regards all other
defendants, is void and Of no effect so
far as it is concerned. The judgment
on which the plaintiff bases its present
suit was given by the United States
circuit court for the ninth Judicial Cir
cult in and for the southern district
Of California.
This judgment was given in an ac-
ton pending before that court in which
Imperial Valley press., 1913-01-09

There is one tangible, definite high
way project before the people of this
county, to which the honor of the
county is committed beyond recall.
The people Of San Diego county
built highway to the county line and
were eager to see the road extended to
this valley. The editor Of the Press
was in San Diego and was asked to
submit to the supervisors Of this coun
ty proposal that if this county would
agree to build a good road westward
as far as Coyote the people Of San Di-
ego would pledge themselves to raise
fund to build into Imperial county
to meet the people OF the valley at
Coyote.
The editor of the Press undertook
the commission, telegraphing here the
substance OF the proposal, and the
supervisors held special meeting and
passed a resolution pledging this cOun-
ty to perform its part of the program.
The people Of San Diego at once sci
about raising their fund, and have so
far proceeded with their work that
their road is well on toward compile
ton.
In the performance Of their pledge
the supervisors of this county levied
special tax to build the road, providing
$4,000 now available for the con-
struction of the road.
Now come two projects for other
roads to be built out of this fund,
Brawley demanding $4,000 for the Nee
ca road and Holtville asking for a pOr-
ton of the money to be used in build
ing to Yuma.
To grant these calls for money Of
necessity implies the reputation of the
contract made between Imperial and
San Diego counties. This is a fact
evidently forgotten or not known by
those who would divert the money, for
they would not ask for the county to
repudiate a pledge made as this one
was.
The Press believes in the c0nstruc
ton Of both the roads which are call
ing for money when done under prop
er conditions. Had Los Angeles come

I has been gradually working southwark
rain having fallen all last night in Los
| Angeles, from which point much
warmer weather was reported this
morning.
Thus there are apparently two bless
ings coming together, and it is difficult
to say which will be most welcome, the
rain or the warmer weather.
1t is peculiar that the cold weather
finds the mountains Of southern Cali
fornia destitute Of snow, which at this
season is plentiful. This in itself tells
the story OF the drought on the coast
As the rain that is now visiting the
coast has been general all the way
down the coast, it is hoped that the
moisture to fall will prove ample to
revivify agriculture on the coast and
furnish a supply of water for abundant
irrigation. 1t is not yet too late to do
an immense amount of good to both
grain and range pasturage, while there
is plenty of time for the mountains to
receive great supply Of water for the
irrigation systems during the summer.
This afternoon mercury reached 50
this being the highest temperature this
week.
Early in The day clouds began to ap-
pear over the coast mountains, and by
noon the sky was completely overcast
while the feeling Of rain was in the
air, and it became apparent that even
tbs valley may come in for part Of
the drenching which the state at large
is experiencing.
While the Press does not assume to
turn weather prophet, it considers it
possibility that before the night is
spent the valley will receive a good
sprinkling, for the first time in many
weeks.
1t is also TO be expected that the
night will lay big deposit Of snow on
the coast range mountains.
At just o'clock this afternoon there
was the first touch of the storm, when
few struggling snow flakes came
down hesitatingly, as though they
knew they were out of their element,
and then gentle sprinkle Of rain came.
The rain is OF the misty character that
leaves no plainly marked line between
fog and rain, and it is coming on so
gently it arouses the suspicion that it
is in earnest and Is setting about the
deliberate task of wetting down the
valley, where the roads are in condi-
ton to be greatly benefited by a good
soaking.
