kind and have hard days work to
| do tomorrow" said Nina.
In the morning the sun was shining
brightly and Nina hurriedly dressed
| and cooked her breakfast, for she
had to go to the city with her vege-
tables that day. Nina harnessed her
donkey to his little cart and filled her
! cart full of nice green vegetables.
II Nina had been like some folks
she would have wished she did not
have to go to town or that her vege-
tables We're all Sold and then she
would have found out what the fairy
had given to her, but not one wish
did she make until she was returning
from the city with an empty cart and
| reached the road to her little cottage.
BY the roadside sat an old woman,
and Nina stopped to ask what she
could do for her, and when she learned
| that the old woman had been turned
out because she was old and could
no longer do the work for the people
where she had lived, then Nina said,
| II wish my donkey cart was carriage
SO could take you home with me-
The little cart disappeared. In it's
place stood the carriage big enough
for the old woman and Nina too.

but l do wish | had a pair of horses

behind the carriage ready to follow
it and in front stood two handsome
black horses
Nina helped the old woman into the
carriage and then got in beside her
and drove home.
Il will have to wish for stable
and barn big enough to care for the
horses and carriage" said Nina, as
she drove up to her little cottage, but
before she had reached there the lit
tie shed where her donkey had been
stabbed had disappeared and big
building stood in it's place
Il don't know how many wishes the
fairy gave me-" thought Nina but l
must have a house bigger than my
barn or | will not have room for this
old woman"
The little cottage disappeared like
the shed and big white house with
green blinds stood in its place and
when Nina took the old woman inside
the house she found a nice comfort
able room for her and all the clothes
an old lady could wish for or need.
But when Nina went into the other
bedroom she could not help eXclaim-

NAVY LARGER THAN THAT
OF TWO GREAT POWERS

Washington, Jan. 6.-Possibility of
a combined attack by 2 foreign pow
Iers to break down the new Pan-Amer-
lean doctrine evolved from mainte-
nance by the United States and ac-
ceptance by South and Central Amer
lean republics of the Monroe doctrine
is one of the fundamental bases for
the national defense plans formulated
by army and navy strategists.
They believe it essential in the for
mutation of a national military policy
to provide against the eventuality of
an assault upon the doctrine by either
an Asiatic or European power, or
even of an alliance of two such pow
ers, which might hurl forces sim
utaneously at the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts.
A navy equal to those of any two
world powers in strength, except
Great Britain, and an army prepared
to fight for the integrity OF the Pan
American idea anywhere in Pan
America is the ultimate aim Of the
plans of the military experts.
To accomplish this, the general
board has recommended for the navy:
! Authorization in 1916-17 of $780,
100000 in new ships as against a
total investment in fighting equip
ment now afloat during the last 80
years of S459,6S4, ,56l.
2 Construction of four battle cruis-
ers and four dreadnaughts under this
program.
Expansion of shipbuilding facili-
ties to admit of even heavier build
ing program in succeeding years.
| For the army the war college rec
ommended:
! Expenditure in 19I6-l7 of approx.
imately $500, 100000 to produce a mo-
bile army under federal control which
with it's reserves, would total 1,100,.
600 in six years; 100000 fully trained
regulars and the remainder continen.

2 Increasing by so per cent thu
equipment and personnel of the coas
artillery in four years at a total cos
of SSl,000,000.
8 Accumulation in four years o
reserve ammunition and materia
worth $104, 100000.

they regarded as almost prohibitive
cost of these proposals, Secretar,

the county should undertake this work.
BY securing animals of good butter

be raised and the profit to the farmer
greatly increased. This is an illustra-

Progress Unabated In Working Out the
Problems Of Unifcations of This
Great Region on Basis of Solidity
and Endurance.

Among the fanciful tales of old was
one of the joint snake, which, when
struck, flew to pieces, the joints later
reassembling themselves in proper
order and again constituting unified
serpent.
Imperial Valley is not a snake, but
the life story of this region is not
unlike this mythical serpent, and it
can be stated that its normal parts
are moving into place most beauti-
fully.
The Irrigation District is not only
gradually attaining it's mission, but on
top Of this comes the plan to unity
the mutual companies and the Irriga-
ton District in relationship in which
each will perform function in har-
mony with the entire scheme:
And now comes the still further fact
that, on recommendation of General
w. L. Marshall, the war department
has asked Congress for an appropri-
alton of $1,25O,0OO to control the Col
orado river.
This, with the resumption of work
on the main canal, with the great
crops in sight for 1916 and with the
fact that money is becoming more
easy, combine to make the outlook
for the future most satisfying.

ASK APPROPRIATION
FOR RIVER CONTROL

Los Angeles, Jan. 6.-The war de-
partment yesterday recommended to
Congress the construction of 9-mile
$1,250,00O levee on the present site
of the Volcano Lake levee, for the pro-
lection of the Imperial Valley of Cali
fornia from Colorado River flood wa
ters, according to an Associated Press
dispatch from Washington.
The report was received with ella
tion by Los Angeles representatives
of the valley irrigation district. They
say it will mean the saving of mil
lions of dollars to residents and land
owners Of the valley.
The proposed levee, if endorsed by
Congress, will be 16 feet high and
will strengthen the old levee construct

ed in 1908, which was made practically
useless by the rising of the bed of
Volcano lake. 1t is located about,s5
miles south of Calexico. An extension
of six feet in height, which would
suffice for many years, also is rec
commended.
'Tt's the best news I've heard in
many months and something that the
Imperial Valley has looked forward
to, with hope only, for long time,"
said Colonel w. H. Holabird, irrigator
project receiver, today.
zone could not estimate what it
means in point of dollars to the I'M
perial Valley, it's land owners and
residents, but it will certainly reach
far into the millions.
81 do not know exactly what
brought the recommendation about ex-
cept that the government has seemed
very friendly to the Imperial Valley
since it became acquainted with the
great things we have been doing down
there. They are also aware of the
wealth of the valley and the possibili-
ties it represents if properly protect
ed.
"The old levce was constructed at a
cost of about 100000, furnished by
the government and district. But this
was simply temporary. The bed of
the lake rose and the water came to
"a level with the top of the levee,
making it practically useless in flood
time.
"The new levee, as proposed, would
strengthen the old levee and effec-
lively stop the flood waters of the
Colorado river from raging through
the valley and destroying property
during flood time in the latter part
of each June. 1t will turn the waters
away from the Salton sea, into which
they now empty.
"a plan we have often considered
and good one-is that of turning
the river back,into its old. channel. But
this, it has been determined, cannot
well be done. The governments plan,
as outlined in today's dispatch, seems

WILL PLANT 1890 !
ACRES OF COTTVN


E. A. Perkiss Of Ell Centre has
leased 1000 acres and H. H. Peterson
of Imperial 1900 acres of the George
"A. Long ranch in Lower California.
TINS deaf aaene will add 2s300 acres
to the cotton acreage in the valley, as
each intends to plant his whole acre
age to cotton. The land is practical .
ly ready for seed and work will be
begun Immediately to start the crop.
This is an example OF the tendency
of valley citizens to leave the more
speculative occupations and enter with
zeal into the progressing era of gri-
cultural production.
Mr. Perkiss until recently was for
several years one of the leading realty
operators of Ell Centre.

tor and realty operator with headQuar-

who is asking for return to the line
as originally contemplated in the Gads-

would throw the international line 80

to the United States all the delta

realizing the advantage in having the
