MEXICO STILL SIpESTEPS
 GERMAN OR U. S. POLICY

MEXICO CITY, April 6.-Ernest Garza Perez, acting minister of for eign affairs, declined to forecast or comment upon the attitude of Mexico in view of the declaration of war be- tween Germany and the United States. He declared he had received no for nal notice and that he could not dis cuss MexicO's attitude until after President-elect Carranza had been formally notified that a state of war exists. Other Mexican officials were equally reticent, General Carranza and other leaders having taken advan- tage of the holiday to stay away from their offices.
 The news was received quietly h both the German and American col Onies here.

LOS ANGELES CAPITALIST
MAY INVEST in VALLEY

Calipatria, Feb. 16.-Dr. M. E.
Spinks of Los Angeles is an empire
builder of the right kind. His expert
ence in life, too, has taught him to
take advantage of an opportunity
when it presents itself.
DR.. Sprinks owns, among other val
liable Los Angeles property, one OF
the corners at Hill and Fifth streets
that earns him 5 per cent on mil
lion dollar valuation. This property
the doctor picked up for few hun
dred dollars when Los Angeles was
in the making. His foresight in tax
ing advantage of that opportunity has
never deserted him, with the result
that he is one of the wealthiest men
in the West.
Fortunately he has been attracted
to Imperial Valley, not as a field for
investment, but owing to our delight
full winter climate.
But man of his business judg-
ment could not remain in Imperial
!; Valley one day without seeing oppor-
tunities staring at him from every
direction. After being here one day,
he said:
81 want as many good farm loans
as I can get"
y The third day he said:
"You need population. There is but
1 one way to get it quickly, in view of
the fact that there are thousands Of
good, hard working families who are
not financially able to begin farming
on their own hook.
"The tremendous acreage you have
in the North End should be subdi-
vided into small tracts, leveied,
ditched, and comfortable homes built
"a place upon which man and his
'amiy could go and win living, al
most from the start.
"Such places could be sold readily,
dare say, to hundreds of good work
= ers in your own valley--to men and
women who have a few hundred dol
ars, but not enough to supply the
things that every home builder needs.
The amount to be paid down could be
determined by the character of the
man who desired to buy. Personal
EQUATION should be the determining
factor in such matters.
"This appeals very strongly to me
and may buy section of land near
Jalipatria and try it out"
