TO AID LANE
LANDS BILL

California's representatives in Con-
gress are asked to accord "all pos
sible support to Secretary Lanes rec
lamation bills, which will come be-
fore the national legislature during
the special session called for May l9,
in a resolution adopted at this morn
ing's meeting of the directors of the
Imperial County Farm Bureau. The
resolution follows:
"Whereas, the Secretary of the IN
terror, Hon. Franklin X. Lane, has
proposed a plan for the reclamation
of lands now unproductive and the
settlement thereon of soldiers, sail
ors and marines who have served the
government of the United States, and
"Whereas, the Imperial County
Farm Bureau, representing ranchers
served by the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, the largest unit project in Amer
fca, which has converted an absolute
desert waste into fertile farming
district having an agricultural pro
duction of $50000,000 year, does
recognize the economic advantage to
lhe nation in enlarging its producing
power through reclamation, as we'll
rs the justice of rewarding its mill
tary men; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau does urge upon Cali
Gornia's representatives in Congress
yhat they lend all possible support to
tke bill appropriating, funds to make
the settlement plans of Secretary Lane
possible"
Another important action taken by
the bureau was the discussion and out
lining of plans for the cooperative
marketing of wheat by Valley ranch
ers. This movement will be thorough
ly ORGANIZED and efficiently handled
in an effort to obtain the greatest
returns to the producers.
The women of the Alamo-Verde
and Mt. Signals centers served an
elegant luncheon for the directors,
who had the newspaper men of the
city as their guests. The luncheon
consisted of mountains of sand
wiches, great pans of various kinds
of salads, delicious cakes, and ice

BIG JUMP IN
ALFALFA ACREAGE
THRUOUT VALLEY

Aalfalfa acreage has jumped to
10000 acres this year, as compared
with 100, 900 last year, or an increase
of 30 per cent, it is pointed out by
County DEVELOPMENT Agent A. VI. Mel
son.
Cotton lands are going back to al
falfa, declared Mr.. Nelson, and as an
instance in point he referred to the
$4,000 acres that went into cotton
north of the line last year, which will
be cut to half of that staple this
year.
Both the livestock and the dairy in
dustry will be increased III direct ra-
ito with the augmented acreage in for
age, said the county official, and this
will undoubtedly put Imperial County
back into second nlace. at least, in the
butter-producing counties of the state
a position which she held up to last
year and lost only because the high
price of beef took off a lot of dairy
cattle to the butcher.
Mr.. Nelson asserts that three con-
ditions caused the county's decline in
dairy products-the lack of feed, the
lack of mixers and the high price of
beef. The lack of feed will this year
be done away with entirely, he pre-
dicted. The lack of mixers will also
be remedied because of the return
of soldiers, etc; the price of beef
continues high. but this condition will
be beneficial to the dairy business, be-
cause every COW kept in the herd will
now be subjected to the closest tests
and all "bcarders" will go TO the
butchers block, thus keeping high the
standard of the industry.
Butterfat continues at good nrice
and the demand for good COWS is still
very strong. Sales of recent date all
show that there is a fine demand for
the better class of dairy stock.
''The change from other crops to
alfalfa is a good indication" said Mr..
Nelson. at means that the farmers
are getting back to the stabilizing
crops, crops that are not affected
much by any possible water shortages
in the heat of summer and crops that
will produce monthly nay checks the
wear round"

ALLEGED ELOPER

DESERVING four of her small chill
dren, and entrusting a note, addressed
to the father, with daughter, Mrs
Lizzie Grider, wife of J. D. Grider
and mother of eleven children and
grandmother of three left her home
secretly Monday, accompanied by a
young man named Weeks, and her
youngest child, an infant in arms, ac-
cording to reports.
Investigation has shown that Mrs.
Grider and Mr.. Weeks, who for some
time past had been a boarder with
the family, left the home topether
after having sent their trunks by
truck, supposedly to the Southern Pa
cific depot. Mr.. Grder, who was out
cf the city when the elopement oc-
Cured, said he had never had occa-
sion to be suspicious Of his wife in
any way, and has asked the officers
to merely locate Mrs. Grider, but not
to arrest her.
While the contents of the note stat
ed the wife's intention of visiting her
parents, with promise of writing
later. the thorough search being
made by the county and city officers
has unearthed no trace of Weeks and
the missing woman and child.

Invest Your
Interest Now

Today is again the nations payday
and again comes the call to invest
Liberty Loan bond interest in War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps.
Interest coupons on Liberty bonds
of the second issue mature today and
the government will pay out to those
holding the securities $7S.000,000 in
interest.
If every bondholder clips his inter
est coupons and exchanges them for
May War Savings stamps at the post
office, bank or any other authorized
agency, he will help both himself and
his government. Every $416 invest
ed this month in War Savings Stamps
will grow to S5 by January /, 1924.
More than 81 $1,OO0,O0O,00O was in
vested in War Savings and Thrift
Stamps in 1918. More than 239,712,-
9l6 War Savings Stamps were sold
to the people. Each stamp is growing
in value at the rate of l cent for
every month it is held. Every month,
it is estimated that the country's
holdings in 1918 War Savings Stamps
increases in value by about S2,397,
129. If these STAMPS are all held un-
til they mature, January l, 1923, they
will be worth more than S1,200,000,-
600, or a clear profit to the govern
ment's investors of $20O,00O000.

McCabe Wins
Center Banner

AS AN award for having the best
programs, the highest percentage in
membership and attendance, the Nc
Cabe Farm Center has been presented
the large banner offered by the I'M
perial County Farm Bureau.
The pennant is 3x4 feet in. size and
will bear the name of the" winning
farm center in gold letters. A friend
ly contest between the fourteen diff
ferent farm center of the county was
started the first of this year, the
points to be striven for being pro-
grams, membership and attendance.
In the future it is planned to award
the pennant once year, with the
understanding that when any Farm
Center wins it three times in success
sion that tthe pennant becomes their
private property.
r. w. Sears, live wire president
of the McCabe district, states that
his district is going hard after the
pennant this coming year and that
it will not be the fault of the MEM
bership if they fail to win it the sec
ond time.

RANCHERS BELOW
LINE WANT DUTY
COTTON LOWERED

One of the most important sessions
held recently below the border line
was the meeting of the MeXicali Ag-
ricultural Chamber of Commerce.
Many American business men at
tended, as well as the Mexican men,
bers, and the interests OF the agri-
cultural people below the line were
much advanced.
One of the more important things
accomplished was the determination
to build four trunk line highways in
TO different sections of the country.
One is to extend to tOcvpan, another
to Black Butte, one five miles west,
and the location of the fourth has not
been decided on as yet
The matter will be taken up with
the Mexican government, and it is
believed that Governor Cantu will act
upon the recommendation made. The
roads will be of the dirt variety and
will be irrigated.
Another matter taken up was the
selection of a delegation to go to
Mexico City to secure a stabilization
of export duties on COTTON. Sidney
McHalg has been chosen as the rep
resentative of the American farmers
below the line.

BIG FLEE I
WARSH|PS
COMING To
THIS COAST
Greatest Fighting Dread
= naughts of Uncle Sam Are
to Visit Pacific Coast in
June or July.

Washington, May 15.-An armada
of the greatest fighting dreadnaughts
in the American navy is to visit the
Pacific coast the latter part of June
or early in July. None but the great
est and best of the dreadnaught type
of fighting battleships will be in the
first division of eighteen. Forty or
more destroyers, auxiliary and supply
ships will add to tn naval pageant
and insure the prompt movement and
handling of the major fighting ma
crimes of the navy.
The great fleet should reach Los
Angeles not later than July 4, and,
by easy stages, visit all the other
EOrts of the Coast. 1t is is be a
demonstration to the people of the
Pacific Coast of the most modern
battleships Of the new navy and will
also prove to the world the flexibility
of the American fleet with the aid of
the Panama canal in quickly diverting
to the Pacific these biggest and best
of the fleet for any emergency.
1t will also demonstrate even now
that the navy can do its work in the
policing of the Pacific without delay
and with every ship the last word in
armament, fighting quality and range.
In one way the visit of the fleet
will be disappointment and in an
ther spur to greater preparation
and neval development of the West
Coast defenses and naval bases. Be-
cause of the failure to act on the
Helm report with additional naval
bases and the enforcement Of the
present naval yards at Bremerton and
Mare Island, the plan to keep half
of the American fleet on the Pacific
coast has had to be temporarily aban-
doned. With adequate bases at San
Diego, Los Angeles and the mouth of
the Columbia, and the enlargement
and undermining of the dry docks
and naval repair facilities at Mare
Island and Bremerton, the plan to
maintain at all times one-half the
fleet in the waters of the Pacific is
not only feasible, but most desirable
from a naval standpoint.
With the coming of the naval gi
ANTS, plans are rapidly crystallizing
for celebration, July A, for the
wounded soldiers and sailors of the
world war, and requests are coming
in from western states for aircraft
and other governmental aid for these
celebrations, which are to put new
meaning into the July observance.
Salem and Roseburg, Ore, and several
California cities have asked for air
craft and flying demonstration by ar
my aviatOrS on that date.
