If national board of efficiency experts called upon cut these expenditures and cut the need less great differences of opinion would arise The who addicted liquor would call liquor necessity The tobacco would claim for the weed The mbber drinks would claim the for his indugences and the patent medicine man would tell you that you will surely die if you do not take Dr. Blanks tonic. The with sweet tooth would say she could without her box candy, the ha bitual chewer gum would tell you that chewing gum good for the digestion place that a necessity of life; while the and fend would surely find life worth the living if the morning and evening draught were missing from the menu But be this as may, must conclude that amount of money is spent for frivolities give lasting pleasure and do permanent good.
 We can never hope to get away from habit for all creatures that do things because have always done them admitting that frivoty give employment to large number of people, the harm done is often greater than the resultant good.
 As a rule do not spend money in large amounts but in small certain lawyer who had been able to any money and fory-fve found himself thress man, endeavored to anayze the his inability get ahead For month he kept track of his spendings and found that his money away him in drfbetsa nickel here and there dimes and quarters handed out every side until the amazing It is surprising how much frvoty bill is when cone,to reckon it up. And if you unable to money it may be because of wasteful habits In fact many people would not dare to keep expense account lest the figures prove facts they do face.
 Every street railroad in the country, every resort soda fountain every cigar and every saloon lives by virtue of the nickel dime multi piled indefinitely But in the multiplication of nckels the millions.
 The lesson al lneed to learn (and is easy one) is the art of conserving little things If you doubt the facts above stated and fear face them in cold fig ures, get little pocket bank and every time you tempted to spend money for that which sary drop it in your little bank and watch the results They will prove interesting if surprising.

RELIGION IN THE ARMY.

Baptist minister of New York has advised all Bap- lists to quit the United States army This minister pacifst, and isn't opposed to of his faith bearing He is aggreved because Gen Funston refused let southern Baptist preacher hold revival meetings the military camps along the border.
 It isn't evident that this refusal involved any dis elimination against the Baptist church Gen forbidden the holding of among his by any denomination There is any apparent discrimi- nation against Christianity religion in general Every regiment has its spiritual directors and every Ma tional Guard regiment is allowed to select it's own , chaplain. E
 This is as h should be It is highly desirable to have religious services and religious leaders in the army; but when army in active service it is neither time place for revival meetings by denomination all denominations.

Allison To Submit Plans
For the Control Of Silt

Calexico Chronicle: J. c. Allison,
chief engineer for the California De
vclopment Company during the re-
ceivership, returned from Washington,
D. s., yesterday morning, bearing news
that he will be ready to submit prop
osition of government aid in investi-
cations as to a fight against silt, to
(. meeting at FL Centro, Saturday, May
6. This meeting will include direc-
tors of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, director from each Of the mu-
tual water companies and a represen-
tatives Of the County Farm Bureaus
and Agricultural Assembly.
After approaching many people Of
official capacity in Washington I sue
oeeded in interesting the Department
of Agriculture in the Imperial Valley
silt problem to such an extent that
they have assured cooperation with
the valley stated Mr.. Allison, when
discussing his tri9 yesterday.
"The logical people TO have charge
Of the silt Investigations would be
either the Geological Survey or the
Reclamation Service" he continued
But the Reclamation Service is hav-
ing a difficult time securing money
to finance the work already before it
and the Geological Survey already
has its funds laid out for its coming
labors. But the Department Of Agri-
culture became interested in the plan
at once.
consequently I will be able to lay
a proposal from the government be-
fore the meeting next Saturday. have
found that the problem is altogether
Imperial Valley press., 1916-05-02

too enormous a one for the valley to
attempt to solve single-handed. But
the department will give its aid in :
liberal manner # the valley will fa,.
in line. Just the exact nature Of the
proposal l do not care TO give out TN
til l do SO at the E. Centro meeting.
The silt problem takes on a great
many important angles and as one
goes into it further he discovers that
ii stretches out its fibers to every
portion Of the community. Being SC
wide in scope it is peculiarly for
tunate thing for the valley that the
government will interest itself in It.
Eve have laws governing water sup
ply and the various features Of irri-
cation, but so far we find we have
no laws covering the silt problem. The
Imperial Valley will be used as d ba-
sis for making these Investigations.
and the information secured from these
investigations will be the basis for
laws that will be passed governing the
silt question"
Mr.. Allison declared that he visited
in Canada just to catch first kanc
glimpse Of war conditions there anI
that in Canada and the United State
ne found no place where opportunities
are as great as they are right here in
the Imperial Valley.
Business conditions in the East arl
also good. Everyone seems to have
money and is spending it.
He declined to make any particujal
comment on the political situation in
the East.
