MORE TROUBLE
LIES AHEAD FOR
LINE RUNNERS

Calexico-The government is show
ing less. disposition with each sue
seed;ng week to make it easier fol
persons who want to cross over into
Mexico to get permits. This is indi-
Gated again by the orders received by
immigration Inspector in Charge
Brazie last Saturday, and the accom-.
panying information. The added diff
ficulty comes in the shape of Sc
verer penalties for those who evade
the laws and run the line" This act
will be contrued by the government
as evidence that the offender has nc
legitimate claim for a pass, and he
will be classed with a group Of very
serious offenders. For persons who
lave actual business reasons for 60
ing into Mexico, with business or
work to attend to there, securing a
permit to cross and recross the line
will be no more difficult than for
nerly.
Hereafter" said Inspector Bra
zie, every one detected in crossing
the line illegally will be prosecuted
by United States district attorney,
IN the federal court. This means
more delay in coming to- trial, per-
haps, and it surely means heavier
:llaIty upon conviction. The court
may impose a fine of $4,000, or i'm
prisonment for two years."
There is every evidence of a dis
position on the part of the govern
ment to make the burden upon farm
ers and business men doing business
across the line as light as possible,

Observations OF A Tenderfoot
On Imperial Valley Ranches.

ter still, egg-bearing. One small
part of it is two-ace tract, and 1t
is leased now to George Gotchall
the poultryman who set a new turkey
shipping record in the Valley during
the Thanksgiving Christmas period
by shipping more than $4,000 worth
of turkeys to Los Angeles for the
big events. But back to the poultry
end of the Timken ranch. Gotchall
recently bought the 1400 White Leg
horn hens there and his conscience
wouldn't permit him to kill and ship
them to Los Angeles. He arranged
to lease the two acres and the chick
en- house from the ranch and now is
taking in a snug $40 day from
the eggs and his expense is less than
So. In the fall he can get ever more
for the dead birds in the market than
he can today, so htat he will prob
ably clean up on the transaction, and
his investment was around $1,000.
The cotton ranchers are now get
ting ready for their next season. II

then little cultivating, and the
thing looks easy Of course the
rancher says it isn't, and there are
men from the South here who had
to learn to grow cotton all over again.
The illustration of Farmer Jones of
Tennessee, who paid $1,000 for 73
acres last April and pulled down 49,
900 for his crop, besides living like
lord and attending to his own af-
Eairs, shows something of the posi-
hilities of cotton, even at 25 cents.
Growing cotton in Imperial is quite
different from growing it in The
black land sections of Texas. There
they plant and pray for rain. Here
they plant and wait for the money
which is sure to come. Even the
water shortage here is as nothing
compared with those regulation
drouths of Texas and other Souther
states.

through that headgate single file and
had to be rounded up again.
'Sheep are great, but they have
their drawbacks" sighed Brock. IF
YOU can make the leader go the
RIGHT wav it's fine and dandy, but
f he starts through headgate it's
all Off
All this brings to mind Brooks
first arrival in the valley some elev-
en- wears ago. He was sent for by
Varney to manage some sort of ranch
here-it wasn't a sheep ranch. He
arrived at Heber, then the center of
Imperial's growing universe. He wore
? derby hat, patent leather shoes, a
white stiff collar and perhaps stiff
bosomed shirt. The depot loungers
gave him ten days in the valley-but
he's been here ever since.
Out east of Ell Centre there is a
man named Balm and he has twelve
acres and raises chickens, bu tprin-
cipally eggs. He leans to White
Leghorns and his egg market is Los
Angeles, where he is today getting
3S and 40 cents for his eggs, while
the other producers are content with
% and 80 cents here in Ell Centro
and at other Valley points. He raises
his pullets via the incubator route
and takes them off at about $50 a
week, and there are regulation stair
steps in the sizes of those chickens.
The result is that he gets eggs all
along the route and has them when
they draw down the 60-cents -per-doz-
en- price, while other chicken ranch
ers are looking at the nests in vain.
The number of his laying hens this
fall will run we'll into the thousands
all White Leghorns. Balm is a
pioneer in the Valley.
Up near Brawley is what they call
the Timken ranch. The ranch isn't

You can see things in Imperial
Valley that you can't touch in New
! York or Chicago and you can watch
things grow overnight in this great
agricultural section that would make
the mouth of the Missouri farmer
water to overflowing.
! The writer has been all over the
Valley in the past two months and
yet something new crops out with
every trip to the ranches in that
Universal Lizzie Of 1919 model. One
day it is something about the favo-
rite White Leghorn layers and their
record-breaking proclivities; next the
sheep man tells of the wool he is
his head, while next is the cotton
grower and his wonderful money
making crop.
Yesterday only SO cars of livestock
went out of the Valley and, while
this doesn't seem so very large to
one who has looked over the pens at
Kansas City, smelled the smell of
the packing houses for weeks and
months and then listened to the cow
mans moaning, yet as matter of
fact nearly 100000 in actual money
will come right back here to Impe-
rial Valley as the result of yester-
days shipment and it will spread out
as a salve to some pessimist who
thinks of the summertime always and
little realizes that he is in the most
delightful winter climate that the
world can show Give this winter eli
ate TO even the boastful El Pasoan
or San Diegan and they would capi-
talize it for S10,000,000 and float the
stock at par.
But that stock train is yesterdays
sight by the tenderfoot. Today is
another one.
There is fellow named J. E. Brock
ont southwest of Ell Centre. This
morning he was talking to The Press

FORM A SOCIETY
OF AMERICANS
AND MEXiCANS

Calexico-The feeling among farm
crs on both sides of the information
81 boundary line is that great good,
rermanent in character, will result
from the operation of the society
formed last Saturday, composed OF
Mexican and American residents OF
the Valley.
The meeting was held in the office
of Governor Cantu, and the execu-
tive was personally present and very
active in the proceedings. The hun
dred or more interested persons IN
attendance are all confident that the
organization will carry weight in the
future dispoition of questions that
arise out of conditions affecting
growers Of cotton and farm pro-
ducts in Mexico. The organization
was christened the Chamber of Ag-
riculture.
There was no division of sentiment
on the proposition that the officers
of the society should be chosen from
among the actual representatives OF
the interests included. The election
resulted as follows:
Observation-Disclosures Marines de
Castro.
Vice President-R. Arnold.
Secretary-Lic. Enrique Ballestros
Treasurer-Prospero Sandoval.
Counselors (directors)-Thomas P
DAILY, H. S. Abbott, X. Shintani, Juan
| Chon.
Alternates-L. B. Coates, L. NJ
Hutchinson, Samuel Chon. L. Sunni.
Informal discussions of many sub
jects followed the election. 1t was
decided to take up at once, as the
filst act Of the new organization, the
attamnt to secure from the Mexican
federal government assurances that
the export duty on cotton would moi
be increased until next years crop i!
marketed. In this attempt the grow
ers were assured Of Governor Cantui
hearty cooperation. In view of thu
fact that the cotton planting season
is near at hand, no time will be los
in placing the matter before the gov
eminent at the City Of Mexico.

WISE BUYING
PLAN STARTED
FOR SAVINGS


among the people of the United
States habits of wise buying, sane
saving and secure investment has
been launched by the newly-created
Savings Division of the United States
Treasury, as part of its campaign
to stimulate the sale of War Savings
Stamps and Thrift Stamps during
1919
Practice of the thrift principles
advocated by the Savings Division
will clearly make for personal sta
oility, will increase individual credit
and buying power, and will neces-
;arily and directly contribute to COM
munity and national wealth and
prosperity.
To carry out the campaign OF
thrift, the Secretary of the Treasury
aas requested the governors of the
twelve Federal Reserve districts to
develop special savings machinery in
each district To the Federal Re-
serve governors has been designated
he task of selling directly the 1919
ISSUE of War Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps in their respective ter
ritories. They have also been called
upon to undertake the local conduct
0t activities designed to ncuIcate
The idea of thrift and to create the
personal desire to save and invest
in popular government securities un-
ier post-armistice and peace condi-
tiOns.
Each Federal Reserve governor is
represented by government savings
director, who is responsible Tor the
direction of sales and savings and
thrift education activities. He will
conduct his campaign through state
directors and local community chair
men.
There are more than 5000 War
Savings Societies, established in hun
ireds of shops, factories, schools,
odges, churchees, oranges and com
nercial institutions, as well as those
organized bv individuals throughout
,he country The local savings di-
rectors cooperate with all savings
societies in their territories, assist
ng them to arrange programs, and
keeping them informed as to the pro-
yress of Savings Stamp sales else
where.
The Savings Division, the head
quarters of which is in Washington
.as been constituted by the Treas
iry Department to assume national
leadership in the sale OF War Saw
ngs Stamps and Thrift Stamps, and
in the promotion of the government S
hrift program. The personnel of the
Savings Division includes prominent
economists, bankers, business men,
ducators and those who have made
/ special study of saving in house
lold or other fields. 1t will coop
rate directly with the savings or
-anizations of the Federal Reserve
district and with all other govern
.nent agencies interested in promot-
ng the gospel of thrift.
The ultimate object of the Savings
Division is to make 1919 a year OF
thoughtful saving, by popularizing
cabits of wise buying, sane saving,
;ecure investment and avoidance of
waste.
During the war penchant for
economy-of food, fuel, money and
time-was developed by the Ameri-
can people.
The government now declares this
war-taught habit Of economy must
not be cast aside in the reaction
which follows ethe signing of the
armistice.
It must be made a permanent and
aappy habit"
