The dairy industry is young in I'm

just as the citrus industry was in its
youth in 1893 in Pomona.
The great problem of the dairy in
dustry here and now is to increase
the quantity and better the quality
of production.
Like the citrus men in 1893 the
dairymen in Imperial valley today
have available the best marketing
organization, and they have the serv-

already made name for Imperial
butter.

JEWISH RELIEF
SEEKS FUNDS To F..
CARRY ON WORK
(By Associated Press)


/ SAN FRANCISCO, July 30 Ac-
cording to telegram received here by
Moses A. Gunst of San Francisco,
chairman of the American Jewish Re-
lief Committee for California, the Los
Angeles executive body for the coming
relief drive has been organized under
the leadership of Louis 1saacs. Los
Angeles has pledged its vigorous sup
port to the drive which will raise
CALIFORNIA; quota toward the $35, ,OO0,-
900 fund that is to finance the Com
mittee's work through another year.
These two cities will be the central
points around which the drive will be
launched in the early fall. Other cit-
les are now organizing thruout the
states under the leadership of Mr..
Gunst.
The California drive will be one
of a series of state drives that will
take place in the entire country. The
Committee is now spending about $2,-
000, 900 month for supplies that are
furnishing the bare necessities of life
to some six million people in Europe,
Asia Minor, Siberia and the Orient.
The first American Relief reached ST.
IBERIA recently when Jewish supply
train distributed goods along the rail
road line from Vladivostok to Omsk.

ed to deal with the refugees who were
stranded there when on their way to

tries and one of the greatest factors
in the success that Imperial valley
must win.
If there is contention and discord,
where there should be cooperation,
the business interests of the valley
should step in as mediator. 60
What the dairy industry of I'm
perial valley needs right now, is. not
a man from Sacramento who says
he is philanthropist, but a little
sensible direction right here by men
whose interest and future is here, and
who can speak as a friend to those
who are talking Of the success of the
citrus growers and refusing to. fol-
low the common sense that made their
success possible. ~

PARIS, Jan. 16.-The Inter-Allied
Peace Conference resumed its ses-
sion at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon,

East.
In the course of the discussion it
developed that the political and ter

Greece cannot; have: Constantinople
as the seat of. its government, with
extension of territory to include the
region between that city and the

The Greek delegation in the con-
ference pointed out that to estab-

of liberalization of the Darnelles
and eliminate the Turk from Europe.
Announcement Of the resignation
Of the Italian rcabiet is considered
here as meaning that Italy has aban-

accepted British and American Ideas
on a democratic peace. Italy's ter
