TENANTS SHOULD
Be FARMERS
SAYS HOWE
Agricultural Expert Will
Visit Valley Saturday as
Guest of Mr.. Packard.
(By United Press)

Los Angeles, March 16-That near
ly half of the farmers in the United
States are tenants and that that con-
ditioin is the "blight of agriculture
is the statement made by Frederick
c. Howe, commissioner of immigra-
tion for the port of New York to a
United Press reporter Howe is an
ardent single taxer and believes that
the single tax is the best method of
decreasing tenancy.
Howe quotes figures showing that
SO per cent of the farmers of Texas
do not own their land and in Okla
homa the percentage is 55 and runs
as high as 6S in some counties of
that state.
"We. are going to see continual
increase in the cost of living unless
we work out some constructive plan
for getting the people back to the
land" Howe declared.
"And that ought to be a relatively
easy thing in this country with the
resouces at our disposal. One of the
obstacles in the way is land monop-
oly. 1t is stated on good authority
that 2OO,O00,000 acres, or about one
fourth of the cultivable acreage OF
America, is owned in great estates
some of them millions of acres ii
extent"
Mr.. Howe will arrive in Ell Centre
this evening and will be the guest Of
Walter Packard, president of the
County Farm Bureau and in charge
of the Experimental Farm at Melo
land.

STRUGGLE FOR
SUPREMACY
SUNDAY
Seeley and Ell Centre Will
Fight for Money and
HOnors Next Sunday.

The battle for baseball supremacy
in Imperial Valley and also to decide
who shall take the side bet is to be
staged in Ell Centre Sunday after
loon, at which time Seeley and Ell
Centro will fight it out on the dia-
mond. Both teams are tied for first
place in the post-season series and
titanic struggle is predicted.
The Seeley team has been going at
top speed for several games and the
added confidence given them will
make the Westsiders a hard team to
defeat. The locals are not worrying
as their fielding is likely to offset
any slugging on the part of the visi-
tors. In addition, Priest will likely
ascend the mound for Ell Centro and
if that sterling twirler is in his usual
form it will be a tossup who wins.
Gardner and Killilay will be the UNI
pires.

"This is my first trip here and

METHOD|STS ARE
PLANNING BIG
REVEALS
MIR. and Mrs. Kemps of Long
Beach to Assist the Local
Church in Meetings.

The First Methodist Episcopal
church has been very fortunate in
securing Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Ramps
Of Long Beach to assist in a series
of revival meetings beginning next
week and continuing until Easter.
An effort is being made to secure
the use of vacant store building
in the business district, but if this
fails the meetings will be held in the
church, at the corner of Sixth and
Commercial streets.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ramps are both ex-
rerienced gospel mission workers,
having been at one time engaged in
work at the famous Pacific Garden
Mission, Chicago. Mrs. Ramps was
Pianist there for seven years. These
splendid Christian workers will con-
duct the music during the revival, the
preaching being done, at the invita-
ton of the church, by the pastor,
Howard B. Clark.
1t is the hope of the church that
all Christian forces Of the city will
combine to make this effort sue
cess in adding greatly to the religious
assets of the community-not mere
ly the enlargement of the Methodist
church, but the enlargement of the
Kingdom of God as whole, is the
aim.
Further announcement as to the
exact place will appear later. The
meetings will begin at 1880 Tuesday
night, and continue every night un-
til Easter Mondays excepted.
