to Gov, Lowden's friends here, but not

of Pennsylvania politics involved,
and also appreciate the fact that Sen

candidate; he has only voiced his
preference as between the two.

make it the biggest day the com
munity has ever celebrated.
The idea Of a community picnic
originated several years ago when
several farmers n business men
conceived the notion that some means
friendly spirit could be brought about
between the citizens of the town and
the country. For many years farm
ers a. through various ear been
defrauded of certain things which for
the most part was the result Of skin
, games played by slick city fellers. For
this reason the idea gradually grew
business mar and the farmer gradu-
ally grew apart. In order to elimi-
nate this it was thought that should
an annual community picnic be staged
farmers would have a chance to meet
the business man when he was not
~engrossed in business cares. This
would show the farmer that the bust
ness mar has a heart after all.
Since its origin in this vicinity the
idea has been a huge success. Every
! year practically everyone living in the
community has made it q point to be
at the place designated for the picnic.
An interesting program consisting Of
sports, speeches m a dance have al
ways characterized the activities Of
the day.
Each family brings a basket to the
picnic containing a lunch sufficient
for the whole family. Coffee and
other beverages are provided for on
the grounds.

N 'LACHLAN AND
HARRIS NAM Ed
As DIRECTORS

At meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the Imperial Valley Grow
ers Association held Thursday after
moon at Ell Centre a resolution was
unanimously adopted approving the
Recommendation of the ginners in
nominating J. A. Harris of Imperial
and Argyle McI.achlan of Calexico as
members of the executive committee
to represent the ginning interests of
the valley.
The appointment of these gentle
men and their acceptance rounds out
the executive committee and gives
proper representation to all vital in
terests in connection with the hand
ling of the cotton crop.
Dan Leonard of Calexico represents
the Imperial Valley Bankers Associa-
tion and Alex d. Mackenzie of Cali
patria and H. Victor Davidson of the
"lOl Ranch" represents the growers
With the executive committee as
now constituted the Growers Associ-
alton is an actual reality and it's sue
cess assured.
This is certainly good news to every
cotton grower who has signed the
contract. 1t will now be but a few
days until the committee will have the
machinery functioning with but one
end in view-an adequate labor sup
ply for all members Of the associa-
ton.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
association is purely cooperative and
non-profit sharing few growers have
the idea that they will secure some
of the laborers without contributing
financially to the expense Of bringing
them to the valley.
Such ideas are erroneous and alb
surd. The laborers are under con
tract and the association provides o
bond for their proper keep and return
to Mexico after the picking season is
over.
Members will have no difficulty in
keeping their laborers and those who
have not expressed themselves by CO.
operating with the association in sign
ing the contract need expect little
help or comfort from the association
after the picking season begins.
With an abundance of laborers the
cotton industry may be expected to
make great strides in the future. The
growers are to be congratulated on
arising to the occasion and solving a
most serious and veXatious problem.
