plans on the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, which is scheduled to start
with a bang on Saturday, September
2S.
At the meeting of last night there
t. managers of the coming drive The
lineup will be the same, with two ex-
captions, as that which handled the
asst drive so successfully.
The matter of securing budget for
c,rrying on the advertising work came
up for a general discussion during
the meeting, but nothing definite re-
ulted. This will be threshed out at
meeting to be called next week.
The lineup is given as follows, and
t e names of the men selected will be
Efficient to make the campaign 90
through. Imperial county's quota for
the Fourth Liberty Loan will very
likely be double what it was in the
last drive. The new campaign will
go after about SS,OO0,OOO 900, it is
thought in official circles at Wash
ington. However the amount 70 be
raised may be set at $4,000, ,000. 900.
winch Is slightly more than double the
amount of the previous Liberty Loan.
.. q. Horne is TO continue as cam
paign manager. with the following
'cty chairmen, who will do their share
toward making the coming campaign
equally as successful as the last: J..
f. Davis, FL Centre; c. H. Connett,
Seeley; c. d. Watson, Holtvil!e; L..
j. Thomas, Imperial; Victor Sterling,

+. F. Parmalee, Brawley; w. A Var
Ian, Heber.
A. c. Johnson was made chairman
of publicity and will make his selec-
tons for the several city chairman of
publicity in a few days
Mr.. King expresses the hope that
everyone will clean up on their for
mer bond purchases before the time
set for the opening of the new drive
as he is hopeful of making the com
ing campaign the most glorious yet.

PLIGHT UNDER

(By Associated Pressl

Paris, Aug. 10.-Anglo- French
troops have gained the ascendancy.
The Picardy line is held solid By in
antry and cavalry skirmishes well in
advance of it are preparing the way
for further progress. The Germans
are relying upon machine guns to
stem the Allied tide not wishing to
risk the capture OF artillery. The en-
my are defending with desperate
courage wherever the position affords
the means and officers are shooting
down soldiers showing symptoms of
quitting. The enemy is fighting for
time for the German high command
to readjust itself and limit the con-
sequences of the blow. Military OBJ
servers say the problem facing the
rival commanders is easily defined
General Foch struck where the army
group of Crown Prince Rupprecht of
Bavaria and that of the German
Crown Prince join, obliging the enemy
hTriedly to reorganize and the higher
command to place the armies of Cen
eral Won Der Marwits and General
Won Hutier under one chief. This op-
Grafton has temporarily thrown the
Germans off their balance and i. is
their object now to regain it.

INFANT PRODIGY
COTTON SECTION
HAS BIG CROP

Seventy five thousand bales of cot
ton will be grown in the great I'M
perial country this year. In some
quarters the expectation is for 10000
bales.
This enormous crop record from the
infant cotton growing county of the
limelight and when the news is
spread broadcast over the world there
will be another influx of emigrants
to the Valley.
There is but one serious drawback
to these expectations and that is the
water supply. If, as some expect.
there will be a considerable shortag
this year. the effect may be far-reach-
ing. Everything is being done by tine
water people to offset this menace.
As this is written there has been re-
corded a o,000-second-fOOt rise in
the river and if further improvement
is made during the next few DAYS it
will be safe to predict that the short
age will be myth.
Even if there should be a shorta ge
if it is not too serious, says one grow
err. we can still harvest crop of
&c, 900 bales.
The total value of cotton lint pro-
duced in the Imperial Valley this sea-
son, according to well posted grow
ers, will go well over Sl5.0GG. 900,
while for the seed there should be an
extra little stipend of about $4,000. 900.
In the totals will appear 1000 bales
OF Egyptian cotton, which will sell at
around sc cents per pound.
There are some apprehensiOns felt
by certain growers regarding the la
Dor question. but it appears that this
matter has been taken in hand by the
Farm Bureau and Mr.. Bitter expresses
his entire confidence in the result
In the meantime you can take off
your hat to the infant prodigy among
the cotton growing countries of the
world.
