URGES PLANTING NOW

= Last spring wheen the need for an
active chapter of the Red Cross in
this locality presented itself. we re-
sponded quickly. the result being a
strong working organization we have
sent and are still sending our quota
tof men to the various cantonments;
we have successfully managed two
Liberty Loan campaigns: subscribed
liberally to both the Y. NJ. c. \. and
y. W. c. \. work: are buying war
certificates and thrift stamps, and
goodly number have become produc-
ers of food by planting vegetables in
their back yards or vacant lots, but
the fact remains that we are not
producing enough vegetables; more
gardens must be planted this spring
if we are to do our share in winning
the war.
"NOW IS THE TINE TO PLANT
YOUR SPRING GARDEN. NOW,
NOT NEXT MONTH. NOR NEXT
WEEK. NO RTOMORROW, BUT
TO-DAY. IS THE TIME FOR YOU
TO TAKE UP YOUR HOE AND
GET BEHIND THE AMERICAN
ARMY IN FRANCE"
This is the warning that is given
by the nation to every one through
out the land.

j. II. Davidson and Oscar Ferguson,
two El Centre boys who have entered
the army at San Diego, were honorcd
in Riverside, where they are well
known, by a farewell party at the
home of Miss Ida Paxton in that city.
Speaking of the party the Riverside
Press said:
The national colors predominated
in the decorations of the Paxton
home, red, white and blue steamers
being combined with the silken folds
of the American flag. Tiny American
flags served as favors Of the pleasant
evening.
"Victrola and piano music, dancing
and games made the evening hours
pass all too quickly, and at late
hour the hostess served dainty re-
freshments of ice cream and cake.
"Those hidden to say farewell to
the sailor boys included Mr.. and Mrs.

"Produce or fight ought to be our
slogan from now to the end Of the
war. Every back yard and vacant lot
in tie United States must produce
food this year, ana lots of it, or else
we shall never be able to bring the
Kaiser to his knees. 4 lot of your
people do not realize that we have
been taking foodstuffs off the shelf
For many months. If we continue
to do this. we shall have famine
all over the world. Everybody must
produce"
The Imperial Valley is one Of the
most fertile gardenspots in the Unit
ed States and it has been demonstrate
I'd beyond all question of doubt that
vegetables can be successfully grown
here from September far into the
summer; NET TO-DAY MOST OF
THE VEGETABLES YOU ARE
EATING ARE SHIPPED FROM LOS
ANGELES AND SAN DIEGO. Ask
any of the dealers and they will tell
YOU there are not enough vegetables
produced here to supply their de-
mands. When vegetables have to be
shipped from the Coast to us during
our growing season, and on every
hand there are back yards and vacant
lots unused, can any one dispute the
statement that we are rot doing our
full duty?
The National Emergency Food
Garden Commission says: "The war
has now made the planting of good
gardens an imperative obligation up
on every American citizen who has
access to land, no matter how re-
stricted its area. The man, woman
or child who allows any soil fertility
or available labor to go to waste this
year, deserves the opprobrium that
goes to the military Stacker. We have
adopted meatless days; let US see to
it that the food substitutes for meat
are produce Independently of farms

The nations of the world realize the
terrible significance Of the situation
today facing the people. 1t is no lon
