MORNING SHOPPING
GROWS IN FAVOR

Copyright. 1913. by ]. p. Fallon
The Christmas invitation of the mer-
chant to "shop early is still bearing
fruit. Women know we'll that by shop
ping early in the morning their pur-
chases can be made with far greater
leisure and comfort and with the feel
ing that what they buy will be thor
oughly satisfactory.
At that time the stores are not 50
crowded; the stocks are all in goou
order. SO that time is saved in finding
the best shade or size. and the clerks
are not tagged out.
All the merchants who advertise i'll
the Press want you to do your shop
ping at the most favorable time of the
day. Everything is in your favor for
morning shopping.
Read the Press carefully and con-
stantly every night, 50 that you may be
ready to go shopping early next morn
ing. Plan Your shopping tour in ad-
vance. Know what to buy and where
to buy to best advantage. When spe-
cial sales are advertised the opening
hour is not too early to visit the store.

TOW MANY CAN WE HANDLE?

i 1t is matter of vast lmportanc?
to all Southern California how rapidly
this valley can take on colonization
just now, for there is need. in the in
dustrial shifting, for the placing OF sew
eral thousand people al once, ana
apparently the whole state has made
up its mind that Imperial valley is the
place for new ventures in home making.
There can be no doubt that there
is room in this valley for half million
people. and yet it might happen that
if they came in too suddenly places
could not be found for them. or for
a tenth of the number. Colonization
must proceed on rational basis. with
due balance Of people in, the several
industries which are being built up. and
there must be homes provided for the
people as fast as they come, as well
as employment provided for them.
It is important. then. TO survey The
situation and see what the provisions
are in the several lines.
In an agricultural way, 1t has been
shown that the extensions of canals
this year are providing water for
1875. 900 acres OF land as yet unre
claimed. Aside from this. there is a
tendency always in force to work the
older land on more intensive plans and
TO utilize patches Of ground which
have not been used fully in the past
From this point of view. therefore,
there is all that could be asked. the
extensions of the year adding probably
1900 farms to the total in the valley.
The fact has also been pointed out
that in the older portions of the valley
many farmers are selling portions Of
their property and using the money
obtained for the improvement OF the
remainder. and this is making prov
sions for hundreds of families
Between these forces it would be
difficult to conceive of a land expand
ing more rapidly than Imperial valley
is this year, and this means employ
ment on farms for several thousand
more lahOrers.
In the breaking in of new land. ii
is important that the facilities for
marketing produce and The prices
realized for the produce should be
good. that the land claimants can Sc
cure the necessary money to cover the
expenses, and it is fortunate that this
era of wonderful development comes
al a period when all kinds of produce
are in great demand at high prices.
and when those who produce can have
ample assurance that their efforts will
he we'll rewarded.
As the farm industries prosper, The
cities must expand, and attention has
been called to the fact that in FL
Centre last year the school attendance
increased 65 per cent and will fully
reach that immense gain again Ibis
year. This is not a fictitious growth
but is in direct response to the growth
Of the farms, and yet this would not
