B|TLER WARNS
LAB0RERS NOT
TO COME HERE

AS result of the recent heavy in
flux of labor at a moment when the
demand is at it's lowest, Don C. Bit
Ter, county development agent, has
written strong warning letters to the
editors of Los Angeles and San Diego
newspapers and to the chamber OF
commerce of both cities.
"By some hook or crook stories
have gone out recently that we are
still shy many men and are paying
as high as 81 or SO day." said Mr.
Bitler. "The result is that we are lit
orally being overrun with laborers, all
seking these rainbow jobs. .4
"They are not here. The demand
is at it's ebb and the county will be
hard put to it to care for its own
the hoys who have been in the army
and are now returning to re-enter
civil life" 4a
In the letters, Mr. Bitler warns the
public against believing these big
wage stories and tells the truth about
conditions. During the past ten days
hardly day has gone by that has
not witnessed the arrival in the val,
lev of a score or more of men, all
seeking employment.

RAGAN TELLS
WHY RANCHERS
GIVE SUPPORT
TO Mr.. BROWN
BY Geo. A. Ragan.

In the recent election the farmers
of Imperial Valley expressed them.
selves overwhelmingly in favor Of ar
all-American canal. If they expect tc
have their desires realized they
should elect J. Stanley Brown as di-
rector of the Imperial Irrigation
District. Following are some of the
reasons why they should do this:
Mr. Brown has ALWAYS been ar
advocate of an all-American canal
and has not refrained from seizine
every opportunity to help the cause
We KNOW where Mr.. Brown stands
and what he will do.
He is qualified.
He was the first candidate named
showing that the people turned in
stinctively to him as the one man for
the position.
He was the unanimous choice of the
Imperial Valley Water Users Protec-
live Association, the organization
which worked so hard for the all
American canal.
He is consistently an all-American
canal worker and believer.
He has ample time to devote to the
job, promising to give his entire at
tention to the duties of he office.
His craftsmanship of he Irrigation
Committee of the state assembly puts
him in position to work hand in hand
with the state government.
He knows how to present the
claims of the valley at Washington
and his attainments in that respect
will be useful before long when he
can speak as an official and not as
a paid lobbist.
He is not member of any mutual
water company board, nor ever has
been; so he will be in a position to
treat fairly with all of them.
Mr.. Ranchman, back up such a
splendid candidate. YOUR VOTE is
asked.
While recognizing the ability of
Mr.. Browns chief opponent, his at
titude in the past toward the all
American canal nd his eleventh hour
professed conversion to the program
does not, inspire confidence that the
all-American canal proposition will
be safe in his hands.
Mr.. Ranchman, support the candi-
date who represents your interests
YOUR VOTE is NECESSARY.
Go to the polls, rain or shine
whether you are busy or idle; the
casting of your vote will be the best
days work you ever did for yourself
or the valley. ~,
Mr.. Citizen, you can be confident OF
the integrity and ability of J. Stan
ley Brown wherever you put him
Your interests are safe in capable
hands when you VOTE FOR

Here's hoping every voter in this

Valley at heart will vote for J. STAN

w. HOLTZ.
Feb. 1, 1919.-Dear Mr.. Editor: In
your issue of January 30, 1919, I
read what | had in mind when /
wrote the first sheet of the letter,
only there is more that ought to be
told, and hope that you keep right
after Fawcett until you get as harsh
with him as | would be. 1t is high
time that such men as Mr.. Fawcett
were handled without the use of kid
gloves.
We have been misled long enough
and ! hope Fawcett will be so badly
beaten that he will be ashamed to
appear in public again. Pm going to
quit writing or I'll be arrested for
slander.
But, for Gods sake and for the
sake of those who want justice, don't
let Fawcett win. Yours for Brown,

 Compared with last year 16 fata. accidents were recorded in l2 months. whle in the year previous p deaths were due to mine accidents. Mr..

Safety-firs: campaigns also have had much to do in keeping everyone alert.
 The record in surface metal mining has not been so good there having been three fatalitieUas compared with eight for the entire year of 1918, and four for the whole yearofl917.
