FORTUNES MADE IN COTTON
Imperial Valley of California, a DESERT
Fifteen Years Ago, Is Now Great
Field of White.

In the Imperial valley Of California
they are making fortunes raising cot
ton this year-sudden dramatic for
tunes. Everything about the Imperial
valley seems to have the dramatic
quality; its story would make good
moving picture. In 1900 it was bis
tering desert where a buzzaFd could
scarcely live. And then the govern
ment harnessed the Colorado river and
the desert was yeined with irrigating
canals, and plowed and planted, and
for the first time since the primordial
floods subsided, tint Of green and
growing things spread over the val
ley.
Cotton arrived in 1905. 1t came in
the shape of box Of seed under the
seat of farm wagon driven by
Texas homesteader. He asked why
they didn't raise cotton thereabouts,
and they said because it wouldn't grow.
And so, being from Texas, which Is
something like Missouri, he planted his
little store Of cottonseed, and 1t came
up and opened Its snowy Dolls TO tne
wonderment Of all beholders. Further
more, the next year 1t came up and
bore again without another planting.
The Texans little cotton field spread
like a drop Of butter on hot pan. 1t
clothed the barrenness of the desert in
Its fleece. And 1t brought to the men
who owned the land more hard iron
dollars than ever they had seen be-
fore. There are $4,000 acres Of cotton
In the Imperial valley this year and
there are going to be many more next
year. And even better than the cot
ton crop is the human crop, which this
desert has borne; for 1t is peopled by
men who own their own farms and
are prosperous.

Rose or noe, but she'd like 90 hear
someone call her that, and wouldn't
/ begin?"
Jimmy explained there hadn't been
any chance to talk much. 1.-THE cos
tunes began coming up on the stage
just then (on chorus girls, of course),
and she was up over the runway in a
minute, talking them over with Gal
braith. When she'd finished, she came
down to me again for a minute, but it
was hardly longer than that really.
She said she wished she might see me
again, but that she couldn't ask me
to come to the studio, because it was
a perfect bedlam, and that there was
no use asking me to come to her apart
ment, because she was never there
herself these days, except for about
seven hours a night of the hardest
kind of sleep. If 1 could stay around
till her rush was over -. But then,
of course, she knew couldn't"
"And you never thought of asking
her," Violet walled, 'where the apart
ment was, so that the rest of us, if
we were in New York, could look her
up, or write to her from here?"
"NO," Jimmy said. 81 never thought
of asking for her address. But it's the
easiest thing in the world to get. Call
up Rodney. He knows"
"What makes you think he knows?'
Violet demanded.
"Well, for one thing" said Jimmy,
"when Rose was asking for news of

'Regularly" She was staring at jim
my IN a dazed sort of way. "Well,
does fhe write to him? Has she made
it up with him? Is she coming back?"
81 suppose you can just hear me
asking her all those questions? Casu-
ally, in the aisle of d theater, while
she was getting ready for a running
jump into taxi?"
The color came up into Vl0let's face
again. There was maddening sort of
jubilant jocularity about these men,
the looks and almost winks they ex-
changed, the distinctly saucy quality
Of the things they said to her.
"Of course" she said coolly, "if Rose
had told me that she heard from Rod
ney regularly, although he didn't send
her much Of the gossip, shouldn't
have had to ask her those questions.
