Imperial County Is Asked
to Give $4,000 to Relieve
Sufferings of Christian
Victims of the Turks.

Next Sunday, January 12, is the
day set by the Armenian land Syrian
Relief committee on whichto begin
the national drive for $4,000, 900.
Imperial county is asked for $4,000,
of which amount Ell Centre is asked
to give $4,000.
w. l. Stone, the county chairman,
has the committees named and the
machinery completed, ready for con-
certed action. Mr.. Stone has asked
the chairmen of the different local
committees to constitute the county
executive committee. These chair
men are: Ell Centre, Rev. E. A. Pal
mer; Imperial, George Varney; Holt
vile, C. D. Watson; Calexico, Harry
Krotz; Calipatria, A. A. Hall; Braw-
ley, Harry A. Staub; Seeley, Mrs.

The local committee for Ell Cen
tro consists of Rev. E. A. Palmer,
chairman; Rev. B. J. Darneille, chair
man of the Speakers Bureau, and
Mrs. Joseph F. Seymour, chairman of
the house-to-house canvass. Mr.. Dar-
nellie is planning a mass meeting
for next Tuesday night, with some
forceful speaker from the outside.
The campaign continues to Janu-

committee that the first few days
of the drive may see the quota raised
and 'the last of the week given to
going over the top, thereby sustain
ing Imperial county's reputation for
going the second mile.
1t should not be necessary to dwell
upon the horrors of homeless fami-
lies and starving children in order to
stir our generosity Aside from the
actual loss of life, which for Amer
ica has been relatively small, there
has been no sacrifice we have been
called upon as nation to make but
what has been for our good. AS a

Stamps and Liberty Bonds a larger
number of people have more money
laid up for rainy day than ever was
known in the history of America.
To those VINO are sick and hungry
and cold and thinly clad and poorly
housed, let us give, not of our saw
ings, but of our abundance.
Every pastor is expected to de-
vote some part, if not all, of SER
mon to this work next Sunday. The
pastors would do well to follow the
suggestion of Rev. Darneille to use
as text Matthew XXv:35-36:

POL|T|X FEUO
ON MARKET
CHIEF, HERE,
CULM|NA TES

A political feud, led in the past
by Senator w. e. Brown of Los An
geles, against Colonel Harris Wein-
stock, state market director, has cul-
minated with the introduction of a
bill in the state legislature for the
abolition of the office, on the ground
that the aims for which it was ere
ated had not been realized.
Opponents of Colonel Weinstock
and his office apparently took ad
vantage of his absence from the state
capital to secure the attention of the
legislators. Colonel Weinstock is at
present in this Valley addressing
meetings of ranchers for the organi-
zation of an alfalfa growers associ-
alton.
The bill, according to Sacramento
wires, was introduced by Assembly
man Edward Baker of Los Angeles.
Colonel Weinstock was appointed to
office during the administration OF
Governor Hiram Johnson and while
he has been the author of many con-
structive measure he has been the
center Of a strong political fight.

EXPECT WIRE
FROM La n {
ON QUESTION
WATER ISSUE

An important statement which, it is
predicted, will greatly clarity the is
sues of the coming water election, is
expected to come humming over the
wires soon from Franklin K. Lane,
secretary of the interior, and the sup
posed author or originator of the
contract sought to be ratified.
Interested persons who are not as
sociated with either faction in the
election fight, but who are seek
ing light in the matter, have appealed
to the secretary by wire to explain
his attitude that the voters of the
Valley might be guided in part by
his advice.
The answer is anxiOusly awaited,
especially in view of the fact that
both the pro-ratification and anti
ratification forces are quoting Secre-
tary Lane and Reclamation officials
in contradictory ways on many OF
the same questions.
Another important move in the pre-
election fight was made last night,
when committee of fifteen members
of the Barwley Chamber of Com
merce, headed by Supervisor Beal,
held a long conference at the Bar
bara Worth hotel with similar
sized committee from the local boost
body
Various speeches were heard from
members of both organizations. In
answer to a plan proposed by the
Brawley delegation, the local men
placed up the straight ratification
proposition through the medium of a
strong speech made by Leroy Holt,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Irrigation District.
1t was felt by many of those pres
ent that many of the Braw-
lev committee, who landed in town
with figurative blood in their eye
went away convinced of the neces-
sity of approving the contract agree
ment.

Guy Urquhart today solved the prob
