by the two young ladies seemed impos-
sible but the Little Green Buf" rolled

PAY EXPRESS FOR
ALL LADYBIRDS

Ell Cenro, California, Jan. 25, 1920
Dear Editor:
We have received the following in
formation from Harry S. Smith, in
charge of Post Contro, Sacramento, in
regard to the distribution of ladybirds
in the valley for the coming season.
AS this is of interest to the grain and
melon growers, will you please give
it some publicity in your paper?
ut will be necessary for us to re-
quire a deposit Of $1.5O per colony
before shipments are made, this is
to sover the cost Of the crate and the
express to and from destination,
which from now on will have to be
paid by the grower because the Ameri-
can Railway Express has refused to
carry them free of charge, as was
done in the past. We will probably
mae a small refund for the return of
the crate"
Yours very truly,
F. w. WAITE,
Horticultural Commissioner.

Pennsylvania is a great state. 1t is
trially. 1t is the home of some of the
most powerful politicians. 1t is prob
ably the greatest manufacturing state
in the Union, and has furnished some
of the greatest multimillionaires. Set
tied first by English Quakers, it's pop
ulation was soon increased by large
numbers of the Dutch, and both races
have been prominent in it's history.
While known generally as the Quaker
state, Pennsylvania has probably as
large a proportion of foreigners as any
in the Union, and it's politics is filled
abound.
There are many people in Imperial
valley who formerly lived in the state,
and they can help to secure the passage
of the Kettner bill HR 1853 which pro-
vides for the construction of an all
American canal and the establishment
of a soldier settlement III you are
one of them, scan the list of represent
atives, and write to the one who repre-
sented the district in which you former
ly lived. Ask him to become interested
in the Kettner bill, to support it, and
vote for it. Tell him of what assist
ance it will be to you and to Imperial
valley, and to the former soldiers.
II you are in doubt as to what to
say. call on Secretary McIver of the IT.
rigation district to help you. He will
furnish you with stationery, give you
data, or even write your letter for you.
