| BORBUREAU
AGAIN CLOSED
THR0UGHLACK
Of FINANCES

Off again, on again, gone again
Finnegan.
This is the best description of the
series of wires flying between San
Francisco and Ell Centric during the
past few days over the fate of the
Imperial county bureau of the fed
eral employment srvice.
On Monday, Capt. A. N. Miner, ex-
aminer in charge, was told to close
up shop and store his equipment as
congress had failed to make an APP
preparation TO rthe maintenance of the
service.
That same evening, in a night ses-
sion, the solons passed limited APP
preparation and the office was again
opened or ordered to remain open un-
til further notice.
Then today came another wire,
which is self-explanatory, 1t follows:
Telegram received today from the
department allots such a small
amount to this state that it will be
impossible to consider at all the oper-
alton Of your office.
proceed Immediately and follow
instructions contained in the telegram
of July ! relating TO the discontinue
ance of the office. All separation
must be effective absolutely at the.
close of business July 3, yesterday
The closing of the office present
serious situation to the ranchers and
laborers of the valley as in the past
it has been the clearing house for
jobs and labor in such a way as to re-
lieve labor shortage or shortage OF
work.
1t is very likely that with the real
ization of the value of the service, the
interestd elements will make appli-
caticn to the officials of the county
and the various cities of the valley
to finance its continuance. 1t can
be maintained at an outside. cost Of
$175 a month, a ridiculously small
sum in comparison to it's value.
1t has been suggested that the dis
tribution of the shouldering of. this
cost should be abort as follows: I'm
perial county, SIS; Ell Centre, Draw
ley, Calexico and Imp erial, $40; Holt
vile, Calipatria and Seeley $40
month each.

ROTATE CROPS
HERE IS ADVICE
SEC. HOUSTON

Although little belated, the fol-
lowing interview with Secretary of
Agriculture David f. Houston on his
Sundays visit to the valley appeared
in the San Diego papers on Monday
"San Diego ard the Imperial val
ley are entitled to through or trans
continental highway from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, and undoubtedly one
will be built through the southern
county, state and federal aid " said
Houston, on his return from a trip to
the Imperial valley, before leaving
for Los Angeles yesterday noon.
Continuing, Secretary Houston said
at is simply marvellous, the devel-
opment and growth of the Imperial
alley-$49, 100000 worth of products
raised last year, and Is years ago
nothing. | would not have missed the
trip for anything. All you need in
the Imperial valley and San Diego
county is additional water of per-
manent character, and ALI of it should
be developed to its utmost, even by
government assistance, if no other
method of financing can be worked
out.
Next to water come permanent
roads, and those who travel between
Imperial valley and San Diego, seeing
the communities as we did today,
realize the necessity of adequate
roads. California probably has more
miles of state highway, permanent
concrete roads, than any other state
in the union. | was glad to make the
trip over the state highway to Ell
Centre, and particularly to inspect
the 10 miles now under construction
through the federal aid project. The
present travel is astounding. We
easily passed 300 machines on the
trip, which was made in day
Speaking of the agricultural posi-,
bilities of the Imperial valley. Secre-
tary Houston said:
''Impcrial valley is wonderful en-
pire. I have had so many reports
from my men as to its productiveness
that | have long wished to visit the
valley and see for myself Water and
the energy of those who tackled the
job of conv. rting the desert into what
| saw today have produced tn: mir
acle.
"As see it their problem, outside
of the water and good roads, is to
grow products which will rot make
for bulky shipments. Dairy cattle and
stock are the ideal to produce less
bulky product, and the value of the
by-product, fertilizer, must not be
overlooked. 1t would be criminal to
deplete this fertile land-not to rotate
crops and not to fertilize properly"

Johns Death
Comes Easily

Imperial county awoke on the first
of July without single headache.
This is of course on the presumtion
that the sheriff's office has the right
dope, for according to reports re-
ceived there has not been signle
bottle of the good old stuff brought
into the county since the nation went
bone dry, which of course is saying
a whole lot in consideration of the
number of arrests that have been
made by the county officials of those
trying to bring in enough for their
friends.
In as much as the demise of John
Barleycorn was an expected one, eth
er the Imperial valley addict fortified
himself long since or else, through
up his hands in dispair with ooh
what's the use" attitude.
incidentally applications for pass
ports to MeXicali have been extremely
heavy since last Tuesday.

YUMA PRAISES
IMPERIAL FOLK

The following article, clipped from
the Yuma Sun demonstrates very
clearly that the visit enjoyed by the
Yuma party here this week has sealed
and cemented the bond of friendship
between Yuma valley and the Impe-
rial valley.
Yuma people who went to the I'M
perial valley last Sunday and remain
ed in the Galley two davs enjoying

often read about and so seldom eX-
perienced-no one needed any monev

The party was met at the train Sun
day night, placed in automobiles and
taken for a trip over the vallev. given
magnificent rooms in the Barbara
Worth hotel, Toasted and entertain
ed to their hearts content. and every
thing was paid for by the Imperial
Valley people. Yuma people were
not allowed to spend cent of money,
and it is even reported that when the
Yuma delegation went across the line
to visit the "Owl" that the Imperial
Valley wanted to advance the money
for the roulette tables.
Sunday the HUMANS saw Calexico
and the south end of the county.
Monday the party was taken in q

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
BREAKS PRECEDENTS

LONDON.-The British govern
ment disregarded all precedents and
created two unique situations when
it elevated Lord Jellico and Sir
David Beatty TO be admirals of the
fleet at the same time. Never
had man of Beatty's AGES
year-been so honored, and never
had two British admirals of the
fleet flown the flag at the same
time. In fact. in the past 100 years
only three admirals of the fleet
had flown their flags at all.
1t is a tradition in the British
navy that if an officer is promoted
to admiral of the fleet when on sea
duty he is relieved as soon as prac-
ticable and never again is assigned
to the sea In this case Beatty's
flag was hoisted for only the four
days intervening between his ap-
pointment and the disbanding of
the Grand fleet. Jellicoe had the
distinction Of spreading his flag TO
the breeze from the mast of the
New Zealand, on which he is making
a trip almost around the world.
One of the three other occasions
in the last century when admirals
of the British fleet have been at
sea was when Sir Edward Seymour
took the Infexible to New York in
1909 for the tercentenary celebra-

Paris Green and MIilh Gosh Helped
 Win the Big War

Paris Green helped win the war. So did a Little Kittie karr and Dinner Bell. All of them were in the army, according to file cards m the bureau of war risk insurance.
 Paris Green lives in Huntington, w. Va, Little kittie karr in Nor folk, Va, and Dinner Bell Page was rung into the service from Urich, Mo. Some others who appear in the bureaus files are:
 Asad Experience Wilson of Van Hook, N. D.; Min Gosh of Chicago; Green Horn of Statesboro, Ga; Velvet Couch of Brinkley, Ark; Will SwindIe of Center, Texas; Slaughter Bugg of Oscar Tarbin, La, and E. Piuribus Brown of Per ry, Ga.

 The broad jumps record in names goes to a resident of Salmon, Idaho, who hurdles five before he reaches the tape. He is Harry Adolph Thomas Richard Eugent Bullock and the clerks in the bureau are tempted to disturb Mr. BulIock,s continuity by punctuating him.
 The clerks have found forty-nine ways of spelling Aloysius and eiqh- teen ways of spelling lgnatz. There were fifty three thousand John sons; fifty-one thousand Smiths and eighteen thousand and five hundred Walkers in the service. Forty seven thousand WiIIismses were with the colors. There were fifty-one Jose Rodriguezes in the 374th Infantry.
 Abraham Lincolns, George Wash ingtons, Robert E. Lees and Will liam Jenningses were in the ser vice by the hundreds. Napoleon Bonaparte, CT rather dozen of him, fought for the United States. Gen eral Grant, General Wellington and General Jackson also helped beat the Germans. Quite a few Virein Marys were in the army, too. These latter were largely men of Latin descent. Orange Cobb of No- iina, N. C., and his son, Lemon Cobb were in the service.
