The Bond Victory.

The remarkable victory of the 81,
100000 bond issue at the polls Sat
friday adds emphasis to the spirit oI
progress in Imperial county.
Farming and financial interests
over the entire state were watching
closely the verdict of the people OF
the Imperial Valley in this issue. A
defeat of the bond issue would have
been taken as an admission of fail
urea failure after twenty years OF
fight. The success of the bond issue
PRODUCES evidence of the most force
ful kind that the Imperial Valley has,
beyond a doubt, passed the experiment
tai stage, and is reality, and a per-
nlanent factor in the growth and de-
yelopment of agriculture in the United
States.
Every person who lives in the coun-
ty has been confident of this as long
IS they have lived in the Valley. Yet
outside interests, slow to believe, and
watchfully waiting, needed to be con-
Xinced.
The faith of community that will
spend s2,500,000 in a project for the
cultivation of soil, is no tickle, waste
ful faith. 1t is faith born of actual
knowledge, and actual promise. 1t is
confidence sprung from heard-headed
ranchmen and business men. 1t is no
gress, an indomitable spirit.
The people of Imperial county have
done their share to place the ,irriga-
ticn system on sound basis. The sue
cess of the undertaking now passes in
TO other hands. With the money at
hand, the approval of an entire coun-
ty behind the project, these upon whom
falls the task of directing the future
works lack nothing to make for COM
plete success.

Cease Feeding Beggars.

This. in text, is the request being
made to housewives and citizens
throughout California by the Stat
Council of Defense.
That there is plenty of work III
California for every able-bodied man
who really desires work, and that
there is no real necessity for an able
bodied man to beg food or money be-
cause he cannot secure work at fan
wages, is the declaration of the state
defense organization, which declares
that refusal to feed undeserving per-
sons will aid in solving the labor
problem in California. In its state
nlent urging housewives to use keer
discretion in the feeding of mendi-
cants, the State Council of Defense
says:
There are many thousands of so
called floating laborers' in Califor-
ma, the big majority of whom viii
work when given the opportunity al
fair wages. Most of these men are
self lf-sustaining and usually conserve
tneir earnings so that they do not
need to beg. Others among them
Fl equently willing workers, obsesseo
ty the drink habit or improvident il
the handling of their earnings
times are compelled to beg. Usually.
however, they offer and willingly
work in return for what is given
them.

TOURIST RUSH IS
NOW HEADED HERE
PREPARATIONS NOW UNDER
WAY TO RECEIVE TOURIST
TRONGS NEXT WINTER

Manager William M. Phelan, of the
Barbara Worth hotel, has adviees that
there viii lie an unprecedented rush
CT tourists into Imperial Valley next
winter.
In the face of coming warm wealth
er, and several months ahead of the
first rush of the genus tourist into
the Scenic West, this statement seems
to be far-fetched. But the hotel men
Of the Southwest, who keep their hand
en- the travelling pulse, now are gaug-
ing the extent of the tourist travel.
The Hotel Maryland, at Pasadena,
according to Mr.. Phelan, is sold out
for next winter. This means that du-
l,ng the months of January, Febru-
a1y, March and April no rooms may
be had at that hostelry outside of the
reservations.
The Barbara Worth hotel has an ar
rangement with the Maryland and
other hotels for the sending of tour
lists down to this valley, and it is
probable that the rush here will be
much greater than at this time last
year.

and for civilian relief.
Other members of the council are
Charles d, Norton, New York; Gray
son III. p. Murphy, New York; Edwin
II. Hurley, Chicago; Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr., and Eliot Wadsworth of
Loston.
The president in announcing the ap-
rointment issued the following state
ment:
II have created within the Red
Cross a war council, to which will be
intrusted the duty of responding to
the extraordinary demands which the
present war will make upon the serv-
ices of the Red Cress, both in the field
and in civilian relief. The best way
III which to impart the greatest eff
cheney and energy to the relief work
which this war will entail will be to
concentrate it in the hands of single
experienced organization which has
teen recognized by law and by inter-
national convention as the public in
strumentality for such purposes.
'Indeed, such concentration of ad-
ministrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary, and
hereby earnestly call upon all those
who can contribute either great sums
on small to the alleviation of the suf-
fering and distress which must inevi-
tably arise out of this fight for hu-
nianity and democracy to contribute
to the Red Cross. 1t will be one OF
the first and most necessary tasks
Cf the new war council of the Red
Cross to raise great sums of money
for the support of the work to be done
and done upon a great scale. | hope
that the response to their efforts will
he a demonstration of the generosity
ol America and the power of genuine
practical sympathy among our peo-
pie that will command the admiration
OF the whole world"
Former President Taft, chairman of
the Red Cross, central committee, will

The American Red Cross is char

The age limit for entering the city
service as hoSemcn or patrolmen has
been Increased 10 forty years as the re-
suit Of conference between Mayor
Smith and the civil Service Commits
sioucrs.
The action was taken TO offset the
loss of men in both branches through
the army draft and further losses oc-
casioned by the younger men quitting
the service for more lucrative places In
Government or private plants.
The height requirement for coppers is
left at feet : inches and for hosemen
3 feet 6 inches. Special examinations
for both branches of the service will be
held early next year. January 10 aud
| have been set aside for the eXamina-

vantage of the chance to enter the cit
service than was the case a few months

"Jerusalem--now once again restored

certuries--is an ideal spot for a capital.
It could be the site for great CONNER
cal or trading city.
But my plan would not be to bring
to Jerusalem the Jews who have pros
pered throughout the world. Rather,
would have drawn to the new capital
and the new nation the oppressed of
other nations.
Most important of all. with a Jew
sh nation established Jews throughout
the world would feel they had a home
once more, and this even IL their con-
dltion and circumstances did not enable
them tn emigrate TO Palestine.
MY suggestion for n temporary pro-

Jewish nation and the interests of its
people should be permitted TO grow un-
der the fostering care OF some great
power which has no self-interest in Pal
