LEAGUE OF SOUTHWEST CALLS CONVENTION AT FL CENTRO, APRIL 25-7

To promote a spirit of intelligent CO., operation among all the people of the southwest, be they American or Mexi- can, is the object of a convention called by the League of the Southwest at Fl Centro, Imperial valley, California, April e5, 26 and 27.
 With the cooperation of the associ- ated chambers of commerce of the lm- perial Valley, the League of the South Wst expects to make this meeting Of great benefit to all the southwest, re- gardless of boundaries
 According to a statement issued by the league. the work of the next 50 years in the southwest will be he rec lamation of the waste lands of the Col orado. Ii is believed that this work of reclaiming the desert lands will bring great deal of life and energy to the 1 southwest.
 For ages says the announcement of the convention, the enriching floods of the Colorado river have been wasted in the Pacific ocean. During untold centuries the river has coursed through a stupndous area of stark land. which has gone to waste for lack of moisture. Now comes the marvellous human in- genuity of the American which will utilize the waste water to redeem the waste land. And it will use the colos- sal machinery of nature to translate ] the waste energy of the Colorado river

Trampin along through the darkness
 Splashin my way through the rain With a chaffn' pack slung on my back Bound for the trenches again Flashes O light in the distance
 Splotches O red on the sky The sound of a shell creatin' hell
 In a convoy creepin' by. Our line moves on like shadow
 Pushin' it's way through the wreck Each man in his place, rain in his face An streamin' cold down his neck Silent and grave movin' forward,
 Each havin thoughts all his own As we tramp the path O the War Lords wrath Where the fires O hell are blown Dreamn O home an the old folks,
