Parade and Celebration Are Given in
Honor of the Departing Men
Rev. Walter S. Reed Makes a Stir
ring Patriotic Address at Depot
Prior to Departure of Men.

One of the largest crowds yet as
sembled at the Southern Paeifie~de-
pot gathered last evening to extend
a last Eau revoir" to the seventy-seven
boys leaving for Camp Lewis.
Accompanied by the Ell Centre Fire
Department and the Home Guard
Companies of the various Valley
towns, the boys marched from head
quarters to the depot, where a short
patriotic program was given.
Chairman Joseph F. Seymour, Jr..
made the opening address and was
followed by Vice Chairman Carl ART
wedson of the local exemption board
Rev. Walter Reed. or "just plain
Reed" as he said he wished to be
called, made the principal talk of the
evening and brought a stirring mes
sage to the boys who were about ia
leave as we'll as to the "stay-at-
homes" Mr.. Reed called the atten-
ton of the men to the fact that Of
late the great slogan seemed to be
cover the top" but that in reality
that was only the beginning.
"Who would stop at No Mans
Land p" asked Mr.. Reed. 81 say not
one Of you. The great purpose which
you boys should have should be to
carry on"
Mr.. Reed illustrated this idea very
effectively and it is certain that the
seed of determination to "carry on
took root in not only the minds Of
the departing men, but in those OF
the folks at home.

Allied Troops Holding Gains.

With the American Army on the
Aisne- Marine Front, July %, 7:i0 am.
The troops of Generals Pershing
and Petain are holding almost every
incl, of ground gained since the coun-
ter blow began last Thursday. France
has American forces north Of Chateau
Thierry now holding Epieds and near
by villages and bit of territory
northeast of Mont St. Pere. Further
east the enemy is continuing his
counter attack unsuccessfully.. Artil-
lery fire is the chief activity, although
at places brilliant infantry operations
are taking place. while machine gun
nests make every open field a pOten-
tial death trap. The number of pris-
Oners has been increased by thousands
and veritable mountain of captured
and abandoned material is in possess
sion of the Alliese. Many of the gums
taken were damaged by the enemy
before they were abandoned.
The British effort along the line
near Rheims has been rewarded by a
bag of prisoners and machine guns.

Sixty-four Bents of Four

Work Is Now Progressing
Rapidly.

The finish of today's work at Han

ity with which the work is progress
sing. The pile driving crew have es-
tablished a record for the first weeks
work, and if the same speed can be
maintained until the finish, Imperial
Valley will not be short of water for
day.
The Colorado river was discharg-
ing $4,000 second-feet this morning,
of which 800 were being diverted to
the Valley. If the present flow keeps
up it is thought that the ponds be-
tween the Cudahy Check and Alamo
Wocho will be filled7by July %, which
will mean a heavier diversion for the
Valley.

ly been the only district to be en-
'barased for lack of water, was receiv-

LYNCH CONDEMNS
STOCK PEODLERS

Characterizing as unfriendly 10 the
government attempts by stock sales
men and promoters to exchange stock
for Liberty Loan bonds, Governor
Lynch of the Twelfth Federal Re-
serve District has notified all Liberty
Loan state and county chairmen to
report Immediately full details of any
such activity in their territory.
Governor Lynch's letter to the Lib
erty Loan chairmen follows:
"There has been reported to us
very considerable activity by stock
statesmen and promoters, principally
those representing companies whose
securities are utterly worthless, in
efforts to exchange the stocks they
are issuing for Liberty Bonds.
This practice is specifically dis
approved by the Treasury Department
and we shall be compelled to charac-
terize any continuance of it as an
act unfriendly to the government.
"If any such cases come to your
notice, please write to me promptly,
giving name of company issuing
stock which is being offered, its ad-
dress, name of the salesman, and of
the officers of the company, if you
can get them"

RULING-O P p O II TU-
NIFTY TO DISPOSE OF
GRAIN AT PRESENT
PRICES.
Wheat Only to Be Sold at a
Regulated Price-Present
Indications Are for a
Bumper Grain Crop in
Valley.

: J. T. Brown, grain expert and one
of the Food Administration right
hand men, has made the announce
ment, through Don c. Bitter, county
development agent, that the govern
ment will set no price on grains with
the one exception Of wheat.
Mr.. Bitter states that he considers
this statement authoritative and that
Imperial Valley farmers can govern
themselves accordingly.
This ruling will undoubtedly dispose
of the recent rumor that the federal
government would regulate prices of
barley. The only regulation that will
be placed on the barley crop, insofar
as prices are concerned, is the regu-
lation of supply and demand. 1t is
understood that this ruling also ap-
plies to milo maize.
Up to this time there has been a
hesitancy on the part of the farmers
as to the wisdom of planting milo
maize and barley without first know
ing whether or not they would be able
to dispose of their crops. With the
certainty that there will be no price
and the fact that there is
now plenty of water, Imperial VAL
ley bids fair to have bumper grain
crop.

Says That Waste of the Peoples
Money Must Be Stopped.

J. O. Hayes, Republican candidate
for governor, spoke in Ell Centro, last
night, at Fifth and Main streets, to
"a good sized audience. Candidate
Hayes presented in detail the various
'planks of his platform and pledged
himself to WELD the ak relentlessly
against all forms Of extravaganza in
the government of the state, if elected.
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Hays said:
Perhaps more than at any time
in many months our minds and our
hearts have been with the boys across
the water. We rejoice at their VIC
tory and we await with eager eXpec-
tation to hear of new accomplish
ments. We are not surprised that
they are winning victories, but we are
surprised that the winnings are COM
ing so soon. We did not expect great
results until we got an army Of per-
haps million of our American SOL
diers in the front line trenches. We
are told that no more than 100000
are there now, the balance of the mil
lion men sent to Europe being still in
reserve. We know that the soldiers
of France and Belgium, of England
and of Italy, have been greatly heart
ened by the presence Of our boys in
their lines. These Allied troops are
fighting valiantly and nobly, and l
think the time has gone by when we
need have any fear Of what the final
Ioutcome will be-
In concluding his remarks, Candi-
date Hayes said:
! Were it not that | feel that the
State of California faces grave prob
lens affecting our life and prosperity
l should deem it most inappropriate to
discuss with you any other subjects
than those affecting the war and its
successful prosecution, but we are face
to face with serious conditions and
we must meet them with wisdom. The
war is not yet over. 1t is not given
to human judgment to be able to fore.
cast the date of its conclusion. We
already know that it will continue until
it is brought to a successful issue, and
until the rule of the despotic military
power of Germany is banished from
the earth. How long this will take
no man can say. We have already
incurred vast debts and spent vast
sums of money in our preparations
and in assisting our Allies in theil
work, and these expenses must con
tinue until the final end. How many
billions of Indebtedness We shall re
quire, We shall make them as many a.
are necessary, and we shall do it with
out hesitation. We shall do it glad
ly. But we must be prepared for tn,
sacrifices and the labors that lie be
fore us"
