WILL VALLEY
HAVE (jRE:AT
AMUSE N ENT
.EN TIER RISE
Visits of the Abbott Kinney
Company Officials Is Re-
garded Here as Very Sig
nificant. ~~

For the third time in as many
months, representatives Of the Abb
bott Kinney interests, a million-dol-
lar corporation and enc of the big
gest amusement enterprises in the
country, are visiting the Imperial
Valley.
The members of the party here at
present are: Frank w. Kurten, an
executive; James L. Brown, inspec-
ter and publicity man; J. A. Eckles,
purchasing agent, and J. C. Cox, man
ager of the plunge.
The first recorded visit was by q
blood relative of Mr.. Kinney and a
man representing the Kinney news
paper interests at Venice; the second
by the millionaire amusement mag
nate himself. Each time the mem
bers of the party have said they were
"just vacatloning."
So far as The Press can ascertain,
they have taken no one into their
confidence, but Old Dame Rumor per-
sists in the report that Mr.. Kinney
and his associates are investigating
the feasibility of opening up a big
and modern amusement pax as a
for the Valley folk.
1t is pointed out that, with the eX-
ception of few weeks ip the sum-
mer, the Valley has ideal weather
conditions; that the thousands who
are compelled to stay in during the
heat of the summer must have some
place to find amusement, and that
an amusement park would draw from
the 60,000 population as well as even
from Arizona territory.
The next sixty days, according to
those who met members of the party,
may develop some project of wide in-
terest to the Valley.

WARN RANCHERS
To END SHIPPING
OF. FERTILIZER

Joint warning to discourage ranch
ers from disposing of or shipping
fertilizer out of he Valley was is
sued today by the County Farm Bu-
reau and Tom Elliott, travelint agent
for the American Railway Express
and one of the Coasts authorities on
the subject of vegetable growing and
marketing.
Mr.. Elliott. who will be one of
the speakers at the Farm Assembly
to be held at the High School all day
tomorrow, will emphasize the neces-
sity of the retention and use OF all
available fertilizer in the Valley. He
declares and proves his assertion that
the future prosperity and production
of this section rests on this policy to
a great degree.
The Farm Bureau is collecting sta
tistics on the important subject and
has found the alarming fact that
more than 900 carloads of fertilizer
were shipped to Coast points during
the past year from this territory.
"The rich and fertile soil OF the
Imperial Valley will cease to come in
this classification within a few years
unless what you take out of the soil
is put back into it," said Mr.. Elliott.
"Your soil lacks nitrogen and phos-
phorus and unless you send to South
America for phosphates or stock your
land with cattle, your soil, in many
instances, will soon be starving.
"Just as a sample of how the
greed for few dollars in the hand
makes the farmer forget about the
dollars in the future bush, state sta
tistics show that the average yield
of barley has dropped in California
during the past twenty years from
80 sacks to 8 sacks an acre.
"If the fertilizer is worth real mon
ey to the Riverside or other Coast
man to whom you sell it, it is worth
iust that much more money to you"

LOS ANGELES
MEN BARELY
ESCAPE DEATH

To be dumped upside down into a
deep irrigation ditch, and wedged
in between the top Of the auto lying
in the water and mud below, and the
bottom of the car above, and not
to be able to open the doors or
crawl out the sidees; to feel the wa
ter in the ditch rising rapidly as
the result of the damming OF the
stream by the machine, is no envi-
able experience.
Anyone who has been caught in
such a trap and has escaed unhurt
can count himself extremely lucky;
but for two men to be in that fix
and beth get out with nothing worse
than good scare and very wet
clothes is a miracle.
That is what happened to two Los
Angeles men Saturday when they
misjudged the width of a narrow
bridge close to West.
S. S. Waterhouse and 7. M. Dav-
export Of Los Angeles, driving to-
ward Brawley from West after dark
last night in Mitchell six, saw
too late that they were going to miss
a narrow bridge over one of the ca
nails in that section, and made a
vain endeavor to turn on to it from
an angle One front wheel missed
the bridge. The heavy machine rolled
into the ditch upside down, smash
ing the top against the seats and en-
closing the two in the narrow space
between the front seat and the dash.
The ditch had head of water run
ming and, as the machine lying on its
top squarely up and down the bot
tom of the ditch made very effec-
tive dam, the situation began to look
serious.
BY some good streak of fate neith-
er of the men were hurt badly or
knocked unconscious. The doors were
wedged in so tight tlzAt they could
not be opened The fonly possible
means of escape lay upward through
the bottom of the machine. This was
accomplished by tearing out the bot
tom of the front seat, which was
made Of sheet metal and nailed on.
Neither of them know how they did
it. but they managed to tear that off
and crawl up through the opening
thus made. and between the brake
rods and the one thousand and one
other things which seemed to be
placed over the hole like bars ON a
Jail window.
They were picked up by a passing
machine and brought to Brawley bad
ly chilled.

Millinery Bee
IsCenterPla

The high cost of Easter millinery,
so dear to every feminine heart, will
hold no terrors for the Imperial Val
ley farmwoman this year.
Through an innovation conceived
by the women of the McCabe Farm
Home Department, Easter bonnets
and creations will come to life. in a
wholesale manner.
On a date tentatively set for March
'13-although this is not definite
the women of this district will hold an
all-day millinery bee.
The rough materials for the hats,
either purchased or taken from bon
nets of other years, will be carried
to the meeting place in bags and
pokes, and there, under the direction
of Miss M. Ruth Dickey, demonstra-
ton agent and practical milliner
the women will make their own bon
nets.
This practical and money-savine
method of obtaining new and up-to-
date hats may become so popular
that other centers will take it up
The prediction is made that other
steps in cooperation to reduce living
costs will be taken by the farm wom-
en within the near future.
