The Germans in their retirement

AT probably the most important
meeting held since its formation. the
members of the Imperial Valley Bee
keepers Cooperative Exchange next
Saturday are expected to give their
assent to the adoption of contract
with the stae exchange for the ham

is believed this has been overcome and
tha an amicable arrangement will be
reached. Saturdays meeting will be
held at 2 D. m. at the Barbara Worth
hotel.
The importance of the Valley as a
honey producing section is disclosed
by the prediction that 100000 pounds
will be the output for the coming
year. On basis of last years prices
this production represents consider
ably more than $150,0O0.
According to J. w. George, pres
ident of the exchange, 10000 colonies
are maintained on the farms of this
section, each colony producing on an
average 60 pounds each season. Nine
ty per cent of the colonies are repre-

the directors of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau in regular meeting this
morning at the court house received a
resolution calling for radical change
of program on the Valleys irrigation
system.
The resolution, directed to Secretary
of the Interior Franklin X. Lane and
the directors of the Irrigation District,
calls on the government to assume full
control of the Imperial irrigation sys-
tenn, linking it up with the Reclama-
ton Service, and advocates compile

Although the various parliamentary
steps leading up the the appointment
of the committee which drafted the pc
tition 10 the government brought forth
some opposition from few members
of he various votes, no negatives were
heard.
A committee Of three, named by
President Mike Liebert, drafted the
resolutions during the noon hour. The
cry Of the proponents of the petition
summed up in one sentence, was:
"Give us water" They held that
months of valuable time had been
wasted in alleged useless negotiations
over the Laguna Dam contract; thai
Secretary Lane would not affix his
signature to this contract in view of
the sentiment expressed by some Val

tion could be solved by one cut Of the
Gordian knot.
They expressed the belief that the
problems which the district, as pri-

perative, could not surmount, would
be solved by the government and the
water supply absolutely protected il

tory is in sight for the richest valley in the world,
and it is up to the people to make good Advices
received at this office today state that Imperial
County leads all Southern California counties eli

is a close second stepping on our heels and using
every effort to pass Imperial county in this race.
This contest is based upon the number of sub
scribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan. One state in
each Federal Reserve district will be entitled to
have one name on this tank. The county having the
largest number of subscribers in proportion to pop
uaton will be the lucky county, so the efforts of our
people must not only be exerted to increase our to-
tai subscriptions. but also to increase the number
of subscribers. Twelve thousand subscribers is the
goal set by this committee. We are now 5000 short.
If our people have the pride, the will to do the
stability to succeed the of Imperial county will
appear upon tank on the western front in France.

Following the plan outlined by the
state body, the Imperial county di-
vision of the Council Of Defense was
reorganized last night and the pro-
gram calling for increased activity on
the part Of this war organization was
placed in motion.
One Of the most important steps
taken by the council was that for the
protection Of foodstuffs. cereals, CO.
ton and other war materials stored in
the Valley. The chairman was au-
thorized to appoint committee Of
three members to obtain strict pro-
lection from fire of all such pro-
ducts.
Rules calling for proper patrolling,
lighting and such other protective
measures will probably be enacted by
this committee. The safety of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars worth
Of goods will be increased by this pro-
gram.
District Attorney E. R. Simon, who
has been recommended by The Board
of Supervisors TO succeed the late
Galen Nichols as chairman, was elect
ed acting chairman pending receipt of
the confirmation of his appointment
from Sacramento.
Sheriff Charles Applesiill, who, as
candidate for office, was required to
resign from the council, was reinstat-
ed as member and appointed chair
man of the Work or Fight committee,
which will have it's representatives in
every town of the Valley.
Under the new plan of organiza-
ton each member of the council will
be the active head of some department
of war activity and thus the meetings
will form a general conference of all
war leaders. A committee was ap-
pointed TO draw up resolutions of re-
spect for the late Galen Nichols.
