CHARITY BALL WAS
A GREAT SUCCESS
,9onoeewoooe . oaOeouoop

4 year ago, whn the cry from far
away Belgium for food and clothing
so stirred our hearts, the young girls
of the Womans' Ten Thousand Club
conceived the laulable ambition OF
raising a fund to help provide the ne
icessities of life To the stricken ma
ton. To that end, Charity Bail, the
first ever given in FL Centre, was
planned,' and eliminated in a brillian'
social affair and splendid financial
success, netting the Relief Fund some
thing over $l25.
So heartily did the good people Of
our city enter into the scheme of pro-
Viding cheer for the needy, concurrinc
with the young ladies' in every pos
sible way, that when, a short time
ago, the Phlanthropie committee of
the club, composed Of Mrs. c. +.
Paris and Mrs. G. J. Ritz, expressed
the desire to have a fund from which
to draw in providing Christmas cheer
for the needy and unfortunate in our
city, these same young ladies, remem-
bering the splendid cooperation Of
our citizens year ago, readily vol
untcered to give another Charity Ball,
with the proceeds Of which was to be
given a municipal Christmas tree, in
the park property belonging to the
Ten Thousand club, and about which
a strong sentimeno favoring city own
ership is developing, but when the
plans were being worked out it was
deemed inadvisabfo, in the limited
time at hand, to carry out so stupen-
dous a project, and after due consid-
GRAFTON the committee decided to post
pone the municipal tree for a year
filling Christmas stockings as last
year, and forthwith the Christmas
stocking in the Press began to assume
vast proportions, and is growing from
day to day. Have YOU noticed it?
The Charity Ball, given Wednes-
day night at Masonic Temple, netted
the magnificent sum of $1G0 with
returns not all in. As social sue
cess it stands second to no other ever
given in Ell Centre. The young ladie,
responsible for this splendid success
are the Misses Marjorie Paris, Mel
McGlynn, Inez Collier, Jane Kelsey
Agnes Lien, Eva Lien, Janet McRae
Margaret Hall, Markell Wachtel, Ha
eel Fawcett and Stella and Lola Me
Kim.
The following committee has beer
appointed to assist Mrs. Paris an,

District May
Get Mesa Land

First steps to extend the Irrigation
District through assistance from the
government were taken today, when
the board Of directors of the Irriga-
ton District unanimously endorsed u
resolution asking the granting of 200,-
600 acres of land ON the Eastside Mesa
by the government TO the district.
Lieutenant Governor Eshleman, as
sociate counsel for the district, is now
in Washington, expecting to remain
for several months, and during the
time he is there it is probable the mat
ter will be taken up.
The lands will serve a dual purpose,
if the request of the district is
granted, according to the plans
sketched today. The 100000 acres
will be sold to settlers at a price
which will enable the district to use
the money in the extension of the
system and in the construction of
protective works.
The plan is not a new one, the di-
rectors having had that idea in mind
for some time. The presence of Lieu.
tenant Governor Eshleman in Wash
inoton at this time offered an imme-
diate opportunity and through the res
olution Secretary Berry will commu-

Congress and the land departments
will also be asked to assist in ful
filling the request to the governmen,
by which the district hopes to aid in

Cotton dropped in the eastern mar

is estimated that 5000 bales of

growers expecting CHER prices.
The reason assigned for the dlop

better developed lands will not find

of the way.
While the eXpositions have brought
many people to California, few of
them have visited the agricultural
districts. 1t is believed however, that
a secondary influence of these great

Sir John French Is
Not Wholly to Blame
BY J. W. 7. Mason

New York, Dec 17.-Sir John
French, withdrawn as British western
front commander, is sacrificed to the
superiority which modern trench war
fare gives to the defense. His failure
to penetrate the western line caused
constant criticism in England against
him. He has been relieved of his
command because the public is not
convinced that Belgium and France
cannot be freed by an Allies often
sive.
1t is apparent, however, that the
army sympathizes with Sir John, for
otherwise he would not have been
raised to a peerage, given command
of the home defenses and allowed to
select his own successor.
New York, NOV. I7.-Again a pc
riod of waiting has come upon the
great war lines of Europe. The move
ments of the vast armies are myste-
rious and hidden but back of it all
lies the preparations for unheardof
activities so soon as the severity OF
winter has passed.
The Allies, now estimated at 200,-
600, have retreated before the million
Bulgars and Teutons on their base at
Saloniha, Greece, and the Greek troops
have withdrawn to the west to give
the contending forces free hand.
The Allies are daily landing addition
al troops and vast quantities Of pro-
visions and guns at Salonika, prepar-
ing for ne struggle which may cen
ter there. Should this come, the great
Allied fleet will cooperate with the
land forces, who are thus fairly safe
from the overwhelming enemy that
has driven them back to the sea.
Through Bulgaria and France mud
renders the roads unsafe for any of
fensive movement by either party to
the great struggle.

DR. Thomas Forsyth Hunt, one of
the foremost edu, ators in the United
States, is among the speakers on the
afternoon program of the Agricultural
Assembly. Before coming to Califor-
mia to become dean of the College of
Agriculture at Berkeley he was iden-
titled with the University of Penn
sylvania and with Cornell. He is also
the author of several works on agri-
culture and is known as a practical
man. His address will be broader in
its scope than most of those on the
progres. The title of his address is
"The Relation of q Permanent Agri
culture to Social Welfare" and he
will discuss the following PROPOSE
tions:
|. American farms must be recapi-
talized at least three times in a cen
tury.
:. Young men are born into the
world with their clothes off. They are
without capital
). The open country cannot afford
to support numerous social, religious
or racial divisions.
a. The country population of one
generation determines the character
of the city population in the next gen-
Grafton.
B. Land credit, popularity known as
rural credit, is a means of creating,
a permanent agriculture by putting,
farm mortgages on an investment ba..
sis.
The first of the outside speakers
have arrived. One of them, Tom FL
hot of San Francisco, industrial agent
OF the Wells-Fargo Express Company,
was in Ell Centre this morning.
The Assembly is the biggest and
most important affair Imperial Coun-
ty has ever pulled off" he said. "The
valley is farming country, so con-
sideration of farms and farming
should be the most vital subject Of
interest. 1t has been almost neglect
ed as far as any concerted action has
been concerned. | have been in close
touch with the valley for ten years
and | believe | can appreciate what
the Assembly means. The work should
go on; there should be organization

Unprecedented Litigation.

The bitter personal controversy be-
tween the controller of the currency
and the officials of Riggs National
Bank has now been carried into court
and will doubtless be thoroughly
sifted and the rights and wrongs
involved will be ascertained and de-
clared This litigation, unprecedent-
ed in character. will arouse nation
wide interest and attention in flnan-
cial and business circles. The power
Of the Treasury Department is so
great in relation to national banks
and the danger incurred in case the
bank fails to sustain its charge Of
abuse of this power is SO serious that
only the highest courage could sus-
tain the bank in raising this issue.
From this viewpoint, pending judi
cial decision, local popular sym
pathy is naturally in the main with
the bank, as one of the oldest and
best established in public confidence
and regard Of our financial institu-
tions, and as the under dog" in the
struggle, fighting bravely and des-
perately against great odds. Opin-
ion of the merits of the case must, Of
course, await the decisions of the
courts of equity, before which the
issue will be brought.

A Sidewalk Promised.

The Commissioners promise to
find means after the first Of July to
provide a sidewalk for roth street
extended, in order to give pedestrians
a safe course on that thoroughfare
and to protect them from the speed
ing motorists who endanger life there,
is reinsurance, even though it
leaves a considerable margin Of time
in which fatalities such as that of
Sunday night may occur. This situa-
tion illustrates the unsatisfactory
working of the present appropriation
system. When once the fiscal al
lotments are made up for the Dis
triet by act of Congress and the
schedules of improvements in pub
lie works are completed there is no
margin for emergencies. The Dis
trict should always have a reserve
fund that could be drawn upon for
just such purposes when disasters oc-
cur and urgent needs are developed
Unexpectedly. Until the new side
walk is laid it is incumbent upon the
bicycle police force to maintain a
strict patrol of this and other subur-
ban roads and streets where side
walks arc lacking and where motor
lists are prone to speed their ma
chimes dangerously.

The Districts Pensioners.

The new superintendent of police
has declared his purpose to work en-
ergetically for the adoption of a
more equitable system Of pension
fund provision for the police and fire
departments of the District, and in
this endeavor he will have the hearty
support OF the entire community.
Washington wants its policemen and
flremen adequately provided for in
retirement, and has no patience with
the disposition OF Congress to hold
10 the old method of fund provision,
which leaves the community. pen
sioners always in doubt as to their
payments and often in arrears
through the lack of sufficient funds.
The pensions of the policemen and
the fremen who have been invalided
in service and have been placed upon
the retired list should be considered
as part of the regular cost Of main
tanning these forces, and should be
appropriated in the regular way along
with the funds for the salaries Of the
active workers. Maj. Pullman will
undertake no more important work
than that Of securing q change in
respect to the maintenance of the
Districts pension system
