RECORD.
Anticipate That First Days
Business Will Surpass the
Opening Day of San Diego
Bank Several Years Ago.

President G.. A. Davidson of the
new Southern Trust and Commerce
Bank was beaming when seen this
morning in the handsome new quar-
ters of Imperial Valleys latest acQu-
sition in the way of modern finan-
cial institution. Never in the history
of the bank, President Davidson said,
has it received a more cordial wei
come in any community in which 1t
has commenced operations.
The directors of the bank who came
over to Ell Centre for the opening of
the new bank, to a man, he continued,
are intensely enthusiastic about the
Imperial Valley and its future. Many
of them remained over, with their
wives and friends, they are so desir-
Gus of becoming better acquainted
with the Valley and its residents. The
business of the bank opened with a
rush this morning, and Manager Cash,
Assistant Manager f. l.. Carson, as
sisted by Cashier F. II. Thatcher and
Assistant to the President Jack c.
Thompson Of the main bank at San
Diego, were busily engaged in wei
coming the banks friends to the new
institution. President Davidson said
that all indications this morning
pointed to the fact that the first
days operations would far surpass
the opening day of the main bank in
San Diego when it first opened its
doors for business some years ago.
81 am much gratified with this in
dication of the friendship Of the I'M
perial Valley for this new bank, and
desire to express my sincere appre-
citation to all the good people of this
remarkable country for their splendid
feeling toward u.s." said Mr.. David
SON. Il want the people Of this Val,
ley to know that, while the Imperial
Valley branch is a bank within itself
with all the facilities for the mair
institution, it has, in addition to it!
own resources, a great portion OF
the $10,000,000 cf resources of the
parent bank at its disposal"
We feel this should be of consider
able benefit to the Imperial Vale,
in its Development, and this develop
ment, with its burdens, we want t.
! share with the people of this Valley

FIRM AFTER CONTRACT
iOk SUDAN GRASS

In receipt Of reports from ex-
rerts that the Imperial Valley
is an ideal place for the cult
vatiOn Of field seeds, the FL
Centro firm Of Rath & Marshall
today announced that it was on
the market for contracts cover
ing 800 acres Of land for the
growing Of Sudan grass seed.
As the eastern markets are
giving preference to Imperial
Valley-grown seed, the local
firm win pay from 800 to 500
for the seed grown under con-
tract. As the demand in for
eign markets keeps constantly
growing, the grower or planter
is assured Of a ready market for
his seed crop.
As an inducement for ranch
ers to take advantage Of their
offer, Messrs. Rath & Marshall
will furnish the necessary seed
from an experiment station at
cost and will sign contracts
which will guarantee the farm
er an opening in a new profit
bearing field.
The firm members, who are
experts on horticulture, declare
that besides the amount dumped
into the lap of the farmer for
the seed, he will gain a hay crop
equal in value to alfalfa and a
volunteer crop this fall which
could be used as pasturage for
sheep and cattle. They also
state that the grass can be cas-
lily eradicated for the growing
of other crops.

Here is One Reason
English Soldiers
Call Germans Brutes

LONDON Jan. 4.-The term
'brutes" appears often in English
newspaper stories of interviewed re-
patrioted prisoners-
This is why:
Il was working In a hospital near
Soissons." said a young non-commis-
stoned officer waiting on the station
platform. "a British prisoner who
was suffering from dysentery was
partially unconscious.
Il saw the Germans put him in a
coffin. They pushed me away as they
began to nail down the lid on the
man who was not dead. Later they
informed me they had nailed down
the lid with 4-inch nails before put
ting it in the grave The prisoner
was buried alive"
Other stories:
II saw a British officer helpless
because he was an unarmed prisoner.
being bullied by German private.
The private demanded the officers
boots. When the officer refused to
give them up the private wounded the
officer with a bayonet thrust. Then
the private removed the officers
boots and carried them away"
An officer more humane than most
German commandants was in charge
of a camp where an Irish soldier fell
exhausted. German guards proddeo
him with their bayonets, wounding
him badly but he lacked the strength
to rise. Fearing they should be pun
ished, the guards put the unconscious
man on a track and let locomotive
pass over him. a court martial de-
cded the prisoner came to his death
through accident.
One returned prisoner said he came
from q camp in which only a. pris-
oners were left alive. Originally the
population was 1900.

Simpsons plan to consolidate North

settlements into one big city is be-
ing much discussed. and in Marshfield
at least seems TO meet with approval
To bring about the consolidation
some SPECIAL state legislation viii
probably be required and there will
be many problems to solve, but is be-
lieved that It can be done. In North
Bend there is some opposition on the
part of residents who think it best to
have two cities as there are two sep
