CAMP PAICN TO
BRING HELP
TO COTTON
GROWER

Fred E. Place, former secretary Of
the Imperial Valley Chamber of Com
agent to take charge of campaign to
bring cotton pickers into the valley
At a meeting yesterday afternoon
between officials of the Imperial val
ley Long Staple Cotton Growers Asso-
cation, the County Farm Bureau and
he Southern Pacific Company, the mat
ter of bringing in the much needed
cotton pickers was taken up and it
is proposed to scour all Southern
California for available help and for
this purpose the farmers will be ask
ed to subscribe to a fund of $4,000.
Place will be the active head of the
campaign.
c. w. Runge, commercial agent of
the Southern Pacific, declared that
there is desirable class of labor to
he obtained at the present time as a
result of the close of the bean and
grape harvests. He said this class
could not be obtained through en-
.rloyment agencies but must be secur-
ed in the country and that if these
laborers could be started toward the
valley this year it is probable that
they would return each year at this
time.
C. F. McGinnis, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacilc, de-
Icared that the railroad would coop
crate in every way. Word has ar
ready been sent the railroad agents
in Texas advising them that the val
ley desires cotton help and that circu
lars ard placards will be posted there
and Il assembly rooms Of the Pullman
company. Agents of the railroad in
Southern California will also actively
assist in getting pickers. Where
icoachloads of laborers are obtained
the railroad will send an agent in
charge of it. The Southern Pacilc
ras already made a special rate of S5
to the valley effective in parties Of
20 leaving Los Angeles on Monday
and Wednesday.
The meeting yesterday was held at
the cotton association offices and wa
attended by Manager A. w. Palmer,
County Farm Advertiser, P. |. Dough
erty, A. NJ. Nelson, secretary of. the
Farm Bun eau and the railroad men.
| 1t was recited that the labor situa-
tion was becoming acute. Mr.. Palmer
said that but ten per cent OF the val
lIev's cotton crop had been ginned. Mr.
Nelson related that one grower was
paving $1.75 hundred pounds and
that 80 pickers struck on another
ranch because the growers would not
pay $3.50.
Mr.. Place was directed to make a
canvass Of the cotton growers. 1t was
stated at the meeting that no guaran-
tees would be made by the two or
ganizations that pickers would be e.
cured but that Mr. Runge of the rail
road and Mr.. Place, as the valley
representative, would get in touch
with the leaders of the negro and
Mexican laboring colonies and take
every step necessary to send pickers
here. Sub agents will be appointed
and probably a local employment ex-
change would be opened in the valley
to take care Of this end of the cam
paign. If this campaign fails of sup
port, or is not carried out successful
lv. it was stated at the conference
the VALLEY would stand loss amount
ing to hundreds of thousands of dol
lars.

Ell. PASO, Oct. Emissaries of
Villa have been in this city in con-
ference with members of the Junta
regarding a new Mexican revolution
ary party, the Legalists, according to
reports received from government
agents. This meeting, the United
State authorities believe, was the
agreement perfected for the bandit
leader to act as commander-in- chief
of the field forces under the new
Junta government. Several United
States secret service agents have al
ready reported such an agreement.
The new revolutionary party, has,
through its official paper, Ell Legalista
vowed that its object of formation is
the downfall of the de facto presi-
dent, CarranZa. Some members who
are known to the authorities here,
are former wealthy land owners in
Mexico, who are able to furnish back
irg for the new revolution. Depart
rent agents have under surveillance
an American filibuster formerly with
Villa, who is suspected of having ta-
ken surgical supplies to Villa lately.
Ell PASO, Oct. 26.-Villa has es-
tablished his headquarters at Santa
Ysabel, thirty, miles southwest of the
Chihuahua capital, says an official
bulletin. The Carranzista authorities
at Chihuahua City announced that the
bulletin which was given out at Juar-
ez denied the report that Trevino
was short of ammunition and supplies.
Villas main forces are continuing
leisurely retirement westward in
the Santa Ysahel district and are car
rying a great quantity of equipment
and supplies according to incoming ma
t;ves from Chihuhau City. Desultory
skirmishing between the slowly retir-
ing Villista rear guard and detach-
ments sent by General Trevino were
in progress late Yesterday.

SCOPE
OF IT'S SERVICE
WESTERN UNION NOW ACTS AS
YOUR PERSONAL SHOPPER
AND MESSENGER
r. A. Meeker, Local Manager, Finds
Out What You Want And Then
Sets Machinery in Motion

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany announces that it's offices are
now prepared to execute small COM
missions such as the purchase of
flowers, candy, fruits, cigars, books,
ETC., for the accommodation of pa
irons at distant points. This is in
effect an extension of the Western
Union money transfer service, and
represents the latest development in
the policy of the management of
that company to place its nation
wide organization at the disposal of
it's patrons.
| Under the plan now in effect, any
one who desires to arrange for the
delivery of flowers or gifts, or re-
membranes of any knd, or for
the transaction of any other small
commission involving the disburse-
ment of money at distant points, no
longer needs to know someone at
the distant point who will fill the
order or execute the commission.
All that is necessary is to wire the
amount to the Western Union mana
ger at the point of delivery, through
the medium of the cOmpany's reg
ular money transfer service, and to
incorporate in the transfer mes
sage requisite instructions regarding
the purchase and delivery of the
articles desired, or whatever other
commission may be involved
The service will be available at
any of the places where the COM
pany's money transfer service is in
operation, and it will be a special
boon to the man who forgets his
birthday or other remembrances, or
puts them off until the last minute,
since it will enable him to repair
his oversight, or neglect, at the
eleventh hour.
Florists, confectioners, book sell
lers, and tobacconists, naturally will
reap large benefits from this serv-
ice, and should help to boom their
business. However, this supplement
tary service not confined to a few
lines. Among the uses suggested
are the delivery of candy, cigars,
books, ETC., as birthday and other
remembrances, the delivery of flow
ers for birthdays, wedding anniyer-
saries and in cases of illness or
death, the delivery of baskets of
fruits to friends and especially those
departing on ocean trips, the de-
livery OF theater tickets, etc, all
with the card of the sender enclosed
but Manager T. A. Meeker an
nounces that the service practically
covers anything that one may choose.
In ordering anything that is not or
dinarily delivered free of charge by
local merchants, the delivery can be
insured by paying 80 cents addi-
tional, for which sum delivery will
be made by uniformed Western
Union messenger.
