SCHOOL
OPENS AT BRAWLEY

The only sisters school to be found
far and wide, will be opened at Braw-
ley September II. The school will be
oren for all children who will comply
with the conditions and follow the
rules and regulations in vogue.
The sisters of St. Joseph, who will
have charge of the school, bear an
Exceptionally good reputation, even
among religious teachers, on account
'of their successful work. The fund
amental advantage connected with a
rarochial school lies in the firm and
sound moral training of the children,
q requisite of paramount value. No
other schools have the means at their
disposal nor can they acquire them,
which these schools possess in train
ing the soul and heart, in imp!anting
into the formation of character of our
boys and girls the highest and noblest
locals.
Another special feature of this
school at Brawley will be the excep-
t;enal facilities offered for training
in both vocal and instrumental music

DOLLAR BASIC RATE
FOR COTTON PICKING

At meeting Of cotton growers held
Saturday afternoon in the office of
the county development agent price
ci 81 a hundred pounds was fixed as
3 basis of pay for picking'cotton. This
is higher than has been paid hereto
fore at the beginning Of the picking
season.
There was some discussion over
making the basis lower and also
whether slightly higher price should
not be paid for picking long staple. 1t
vas the opinion of the majority that
there is no essential difference in the
wage which may be made by the pick
en- whether he works in short or long
staple fields.
The price of dollar which was
finally fixed is to be used by cotton
growers as basis. 1t is expected
that the planter having inferior cotton,
according to the picking standpoint,
ard the planters whose cotton is some
distance away from the towns will
lave to pay premium over the base
j rice. No agreements were signed,
tine action being advisory in nature.
A resolution was adopted asking the
county farm bureau to assist the
growers in obtaining sufficient pick
'ers when the season gets under way.
Following the meeting Of the grow
CTS on Saturday, the bureau. sent a
telegram to the state labor bureau
urging establishment Of branch in
the valley.
Clerk Adair Of Seley presided as
ic5airman Of the meeting Saturday.

Political. Trickery Forces
A Third Recall Petition


A characteristic political trick of NJ.
" Conkling, carried out by Secretary
Graham, has made it necessary to cir
culate a third recall petition in the
disposal of the irrigation district issue.
This trick consisted in the refusal
of the secretary to state what names
led been allowed in the original peti-
ton and what ones had been disal-
lowed.
Of course such refusal is wholly IL
legal and was designed to gain time by
throwing the matter into courts.
With q supplemental petition, should
any name that had been allowed be
s gned anew the entire supplement
right be thrown out, and not knowing
what names had been allowed, the sup
Elemental petition had become an i'm
poee hility.
Under the law there were tw.o
courses open to the recallers. One was
the supplemental petition, and the
other was to allow the original peti
ton to die natural death by waiting
ten days and getting out an entirely
new petition.
Conkling's trickery having again
d. tod tie will of the people, new
petition will be circulated, and the

entire crop will pay the cost Of the
sign.
In other places-scores of them
ttese signs are posted in vineyards
which do not as rule ship a ton of
grapes to wineries. In one place the
pi oprietor admitted that he had not
S, Id a pound of grapes for wine max
ing purposes from his vineyard for
s7me years.
1t is doubtful if these methods help
the cause of the vets a particle. In
view of the fact that the saloon cam
rot be and is not defended, and that
ir consequence the only case the wet
side has is that which rests on the
grape industry, possibly we ought not
to criticize their methods too harshly.

COUNTY TO HAVE
COTTON RECOGNITION

Assurance that Imperial county
and California will be given credit in
the tabulation Of the government cot
ton report is contained in a letter re-
ceived by A.. NJ. Nelson, county de-
velopment agent, from Sam l.. Rogers.
director of the census. At the present
time CALIFORNIA; production is listed
among "all other states" while under
the new tabulation the state produce
Ition will probably be given divided as
to show the production of Imperial
and Riverside counties.
At the instance of the development
agent, the Los Angeles chamber OF
commerce, San Diego chamber of
commerce, California Development
Board and local organizations joined
ii, showing what amounted to dis
elimination against the state, one
ether cotton state being given inde-
pendent mention, although its produc-
ton was less than Canrornia.
Responding to Mr.. Nelson's letter.
the director Of the census said:
81 have your letter Of the 18th inst,
relative to the presentation of statis-
ties of cotton ginned in California. l
agree with you that the production
in this state, if increased, justifies
showing the figures separately, and If
the returns for the coming season in
dlcate any material increase we will
present the statistics for the state
separately.

OUTSIDE PRAISE
FOR THIS SECTION

Imperial valley is congratulated
upon its continued growth in num-
her Of letters from men influential in
California affairs which have been
ri ceived by A. NJ. Nelson, county de-
velopment agent. Partly to offset the
exaggerated stories relative to dam
age done by the water shortage, his
office has sent out large number of
personal letters to outside men inter-
ested in the valley, enclosing a copy
.of the eloquent comparative report
prepared by Assessor Weaver, which
shows marked increases in the coun-.
ty valuations, number Of livestock and
expansion Of crop acreages. The fol-
lowing expressions are taken from
