BROWN, SO Murray St., New York CITY.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-12-04

Relief committee, has arrived in this
city with the plan to organize cam
paign to assist in saving the two and
one-half millions of starving people
of Armenia.
DR.. Lands has been a pastor in
Southern California for sixteen years
and is well known to many of our
influential citizens. He is remark
ing of the growth and change in the
Valley since he saw it some years ago.
He will be found at the Casa Rey
hotel by any one interested in the
great project of saving whole race
of people from starvation. In many
of the store windows will be seen pos
ters which tell of President Wilson's
appeal to the citizens of America.
President Wilson says: american
diplomatic and consular representa-
tives and other American residents
recently returned from western Asia,
assure me that many thousands of
lives were saved from starvation by
the gifts of the American people last
winter. They also bring full assur-
ance of the continued effective distri-

button of relief and report that the
suffering and death from exposure
and starvation will inevitably be very
much greater this winter than last
unless the survivors can be helped
by further contributions from Amer
ica."
Reports indicate that of orphans
alone there are more than 100000,
besides women and other dependent
children, reaching total of more than
2 900, 900 destitute survivors. The stu
alton is so distressing as to make
special appeal to the sympathies of
ALL"
DR.. Lands has charge of the pub
licity and organization work Of this
campaign and will have the endorse
ment of many of our most highly re-
spected citizens.

The growth of any district is al
ways most directly indicated by the
expansion of its business interests
and even though a stranger in the
Valley were not familiar with the re-
markable development of this section
through being brought into contact
with the farming, cotton and cattle
interests, the size of the business
transacted by the leading merchants
of the thriving towns would be sure
indication of the pace at which the
Imperial Valley is going ahead.
The growth of the Valley has
rought about new era in the home
life which is a remarkable contrast
to the conditions that residents who
have been here for decade or more
can recall with distinctness. The COM
forts and luxuries of life that are to
be found in the finest homes of the
larger cities of the Coast are now
demanded by the residents of the I'm
perial Valley and the strongest indi-
cation Of this fact and IF the rapid
growth of the county that has been
recorded in years is the heavy pur-
chasing of furniture in the most mod
ern and widest selection by the I'M
perial Valley Hardware Company.
In the last few months seven car
loads of furniture have arrived at
the ware house of this large and fast
growing company in Ell Centro for
distribution to their stores in seven
towns. This is not only the largest
purchase Of any one kind of mer-
chandise ever brought into this Sec
ton, but the fact that for the first
time in the history of the Valley a
furniture buyer was sent east to the
factories and large markets is an
equally important indication of the
demands of the new era of the home
life. Further, it is fact of the ut
most importance to the thousands of
customers of the Imperial Valley
Hardware Company illustrating the
efficient service which is the policy
that has contributed to its rapid
growth in ten years from the first
store at Holtville.
With buyer representing the COM
pany at the big furniture factories of
Wisconsin and Michigan and in tire
New York market, selection of
goods suitable to the special needs
and desires of the Imperial Valley
home life is secured that would not
be possible throug jobber. And
equally important is the purchasing
power of the local dollar through the
saving of buying direct at the factory
and with the purchasing power pos
sible only to a company transacting
the volume of business required by the
trade served by a chain of seven
stores.
The values obtained by buying in
carload lots right on the sport where
manufactured and by the elimination
of the jobber, is a trade truth too
evident to need driving home, but
the fact that the class and most mod
ern house furnishing in the country
affords are here in the valley for
their selection is not appreciated by
many residents.

All is over for the Central foot
] alters.
Fair dreams of possible South
ern California conference champion
ship were shattered by the statement
by Professor Randall that there would
be no outside game for the Central
eleven.
A letter was received from the Cali
fornia Interscholastic Federation, in
which they stated that they could not
guarantee the team expenses and that
they would have to take a share of
the gate receipts.
Football throughout Southern Cali
fornia has taken q decided slump this
year. The play of the teams has been
below the average, and none Of the
teams have been playing spectacu-
lar game. The growing war taxes
and the higher cost of living have also
cut down game attendances consider
ably.
It is doubtful if q percentage of
the gate receipts would nearly pay
the expenses of the local team, for
they are further from the game loca-
tions than any other Southern Cali
fornia contestant.
The fact that the trip might cause
the school a financial loss has caused
its postponement, and the loss of
chance to show what one Of the stron-
gest, and certainly the best balanced,
teams the Valley has ever produced
could do to the Coast teams.
Tonight a different athletic garb
will hold the gaze Of the "sideline"
critic. Tonight the war-worn football
togs will be heaped in dusty old
corner, to be forgotten until a new
bright football season opens, and the
Valley schools again argue for a
championship.
This season has shown a clean and
hard-fought football schedule. Inju-
ries were few; none were fatal. The
spirit between the contesting schools
has been within q single bitterness.
Tonight new athletic uniform will
hold the gaze of the "sideline" crit
les. With but five days of practice
before the league game to be played
with Imperial High, Central's basket
ball boys will make their first ap-
pearance on the court with this after
nobn's practice.
