I Heritage of Honor.
your order has accomplished a
work during the war" said Father
Mcnamara, which to you and your
friends and the church is a source
of pride. In years to come it will be
as heritage of honor to be handed
down to those who viii come after
you, and those who receive it will
call you blessed.
DO not stop the good work. You
have shown what you could do in
time of war, but we are now pain
fully aware that peace has it's perils
no less than war. Your country needs
you now. He who loves God is a
Christian, he who loves his country is
a patriot, but he can be neither who
has not first learned the spirit of self
sacrifice Remembering these words
of an eminent prelate, let your name
continue to be synonym for gener-

IS LAUNCHED

About forty representative citizens
from all parts of the Valley-half of
them accredited representatives of che
Chambers of Commerce--meeting
last night at the Barbara Worth no.
tel, gave serious consideration to
two very important propositions.
The first was settling the mooted
question of a big boost body to CEN
tralze the promotion work Of the
alley The question was referred to
the presidents of the various Cham
bers of Commerce present-four be-
ing represented-and a decision made
that all the boost bodies should be-
come affiliated by appointment of its
executives to an Associated Chamber
of Commerce.
This executive or central commit
tee will meet at stated periods and
take up matters of import to the
Valley as a whole This scheme re-
tains the individual organizations to
perform their required functions in
each municipality and creates, by
association, county federation.
The meeting was in reality domi-
mated bv the Brawley delegation,
which put over a resolution, after
much fervid oratory from both sides
of the water question, recommending
that each Chamber Of Commerce ap-
point from one to three representa-
tives for tour of the Salt River and
Yuma Valley reclamation projects
Although even the El Centric Cham
ber of Commerce was apparently
whipped into line, it was plainly to
be seen that the whole move was one
Of propaganda, directed by Fred S.
Lack, Supervisor Beal and CaleX-

posed the All-American canal plan,

irrigation system under the Recla-

A committee consisting of John T..
Davis, |. T. Sparks and Fred 5. Lack
was named to make arrangements
for the projected trip. The party
will probably leave here next Satur-
day in a special car and will be gone
from four to five days.
It's members are expected to eau

members of the Irrigation District

STOCK EXPERT
PREDICTS BIG
FUTURE FOR
HERE.

Between $4,000 and 10000 sheep
will be shipped out of the Imperial
Valley this year, comprising probab-
ly tie largest shipment of these four
footed animals N the history of the
county.
This is the estimate made by A. G..
McIntire, salesman for the Evans
Snider- Buel Company of Kansas City,
after a weeks survey of Valley con-
ditions.
These shipments, which will be
made weekly from now until Sep
tember, will pour into the laps of the
ranchers and sheep raisers between
$1,000,000 and $1,250,000 Thus in
the period of eighteen months-real-
ly the period of the duration of the
war-sheep raising has become one
of the greatest branches of agricul-
tLral industry here.
"You have the most ideal spot that
| have ever visited for sheep rails
in," said Mr.. McIntire, in comment
ing on the future of the industry.
"Your climate, soil and crop condi-
tions are such that you can get a
greater amount of feed from an acre
than any other place in the nation.
"You may think sheep raising has
reached it's zenith here. But let me
make little prediction:
Within a short time, measured by
months, the Valley will have five
sheep where there is one today, ana
will become one of the greatest shep
raising centers in the world"
Mr.. Mclntire, who is in charge of
the sheep department of his company
one of the biggest in the Kansas
City field-has been here for more
than week, making his headquar-
ters in FL Centre. This is his first
visit to Southern California, and he
was agreably surprised to find
conditions far exceeded his fondest
expectations.
He believes the Imperial Valley is
just in its infancy, Being firm be-
lever in livestock production, he has
made the acquaintance of large
number of wool growers as we'll as
cattle raisers. When asked regarding
his views on the sheep and lamb mar
ket, he stated that while no one
could reveal the future, "he guessed
that it was possible to make the milk
fed lambs from this Valley premium
products that would bring up to $20
per hundred pounds this season"
