IMPERIAL VALLEY
GRAPE GROWERS
7 0 ORGANIZE
Geo. II. Cutler. President Of
California Fruit Exchange,
to be Here NOUember /: Plan
Countrywide Organization

With the coming of Mr. George II.
Cutlert president of the California
Fruit Exchange. to Imperial Valley,
November l and 2, movement will
be launched to form a coui.+y wide
branch of this gigantic organization.
The California Fruit Excnange IS a
sister organization of the California
Fruit Growers Exchange, the largest
cooperative marketing organization
Of growers in the world. The Cali
fornia Fruit Exchange, with mead
quarters at Sacramento, handieG fresh
table grapes and deciduous frults ox-
clusively, while the California Fruit
Growers Exchange of Los Angeles
markets only citrus fruits.
So successful has this organiza ton
been that branch was organized sew
eral years ago in Brawley, and only
the fact that growers shipped tnroug h
this cooperative association saved
many Of the small vineyards around
the community from being ploWci up.
c. A. Fredericks, farmer ana banker
Of Brawley, successfully managed the
local branch for number of years.
Since his retirement, Chris Weatgard,
owner of the Pioneer Orchard, which
contains one of the heaviest yielding
Malaga vineyards in the entire Val
ley, has been maneger.
Mr.. westward has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
'Mr. George H. Cutler, president of
the California Fruit Exchange, with
its main office at Sacramento, Calf,
is coming on November l and 2. He
will speak at the Brawlev High School
Auditorium $3.50 a. m. Tuesday, No
vember /. and at the Ell Centre High
School Auditorium 9:30 a. m. We'd
nesday, November 2. This is very
fine opportunity for the grape grow
ers of Imperial Valley 90 make ar
rangements to see him and get the
Exchange to handle all the grapes in
this Valley as thev have surely made
success in handling our grapes dur
ing the past wears around Brawley."
Mr.. Cutler will explain the wonder
full marketing system of the organi-
zation, demonstrate the benefits and
discuss the most up to date and scien-
tific methods of picking, packing and
shipping and marketing table grapes.
Some of the more prominent grow
ers in the Valley have expressed
alarm at the enorm.ls acreage which
is expected to be planted in the next
few years and it is stated that un-
less some such organization is form
ed there is serious danger that the
large crop cannot be so distributed as
to bring profit to growers.
Every man growing or expecting to
plant grapes should attend the meet
ing, which will also be addressed by
Professor F. T. Bioletti of the Uni
versity of California.
Imperial Valley press., 1921-10-29

Ell Centro gained the distinction to-
day of having the largest acreage un-
der canvas that has ever been uruer
the big tops in any part of California.
This came about through the TACT
that the big curcus and the Ell Certro
Fair are both under immense canvas
tents.
This afternoon and evening will
bring to close the first Ell Cenrro
Fair, and with the record of having
paid all expenses, with nite hal-
ance in the treasury, and t2ta, at
tendance of over $4,000.
Judging from the rate of admis-
sions up to three o'clock this after
noon, today will be the banner day in
so far as attendance is concerned. 1t
was predicted by officials at the Fair
grounds that before the close tonight
in excess of 5000 would have passed
through the entrance doors today.
The best and biggest features Of
the entire week have been reserved
for this evening. A Carnival, Color
ed Minstrels, Barn Dance, the Elks'
Yellow Dogs, the awarding of the
New Sport Model Oakland Six, Regi-
mental Band Concert, and many other
special features. A royal good time
is assured for everyone and don't fail
to be there.

NOTED PRESS AGENT
AHEAD NOTED SHOW
Doc Stewart is in town.


Perhaps this doesn't convey any in
forms. ton to the casual reader, but
to the newspaper man it means that
the greatest press agent since the
days of p. II. Barnum and Aft Ring
ling and A. c.. Cooper and "Tody'
Hamilton. is in our midst.
Tody Hamilton, famous as press
agent for the Barnum and Bailey
shows and the Ringling Brothers cir
Gus, was known the world over as the
most genial and pleasing personality
of his time. He is dead now.
Doc Stuart, a worthy successor to
his cloak of fame, is very much alive.
He is here in Ell Centro today as
press agent of the Sells-Floto circus
and in compliment to him The Press
has today spread his story of the cir
Gus all over the, front page. It's a
pretty good show, Doc says, and be-
cause Doc is the greatest press agent
in captivity today, we take his word
for it and give him the position he
asks for. If all press agents were as
worthy as Doc, this dealing with show
agents would be pleasure.

Perhaps no exhibit at the Fair has
attracted more attention and inter

Judge Scofield, after having conf
pleted the scoring, stated that the To-
cal exhibit compared very favorably
with any that he had seen elsewhere
in the state, and that in another year
Imperial Valley should produce some
wonderful specimens in the poultry
line.
He emphasized the necessity of be-
ginning now to plan for next years
show and for ranchers and farmers
interested in poultry to begin select

Growers Below Mexican
Line Take Advantage Of
Toll Plan to Convert Their
Staple Into Cash

Approximately 100000 worth of
cotton came across the border at Cal

Hellman building, Los Angeles, for
the Warrant Warehouse company Of
Birmingham Ala, and is being turn
ed on what is known as the Law
plan, of barter and trade. Herbert
E. Law. Of San Francisco, is the
founder of the plan, and it has been
endorsed by all of the prominent fin
anciers and cotton men to whom it
has been submitted. The cotton
just shipped from below the line, is
among the first to go into the gen.
eral scheme from Imperial valley.
All cotton entered under this plan
must be shipped promptly as 80
cording to teegram from W. d.
Nesbiut and his associates in the
Warrant Warehouse company the
mills have sold their products until
next Sprng and unless the Gotten is
forwarded promptly under the Toll
plan, the spindles will not be avail
able for manufacture.
The cotton to be shipped must nat
be below seven eighths of grades
strict good ordinary and above, for
Durango short staple, and for Pima
should be grades No. and above.

In checking the files OF your

Just think that over % per cent.
of the people are inquiring about
more or less doubtful issues in which
they have invested, or to Il great eX-
tent, rather wasted, their money.
This shows clearly that:
First. The people who really in

not write to YOU because they know
their securities are good and safe.
and they do not have to worry.
Second 1t shows the great

Just think of over 5000 600 in

TO urge people 10 save what they car
out OF the wreck. and. second tc
again study and point out the very
human causes which led them tC
lose their money.
These causes are very simple
and always about the same. First
they have some slight condolences in
the man or men selling The cheap Sc
curities and. instead of asking the
good advice of substantial men who
make real investments their life
study. they are led along 10 the sec
Ond stage of expecting high and at
tractiVe income from the supposed in
yestmcnt and, third, the eternal
hope of making an abnormal BIG pro
fit.
The foundation OF COmmOnsonse
and OF security is for people never to
try to make Il lot of money out of
investments. Make money in your
own line of business-the business
that means substantial success to
you-then invest the savings and the
profits in prime. long-term securities
of the highest investment rating. DO
not try to make a gamble of your in
vestmrnts. | would like to empha
size this in d brief way, namely:
almost every investment firm
makes ii Il fundamental principle OF
its partnership relations not to gam
bIe either as firm or as individuals
and if an employee of a firm is
caught gambling in stocks or bonds
he is discharged.
Now if all these glittering OppOr
tunities for making big profits or
big fortunes With which people are
tempted were possible
then certainly real far-sighted in
vestment dealers would be among the
first to see these great possibilities.
"TherofOre, whenever YOU have
savings or profits to invest be sure
TO do the following simple, inteIli-
gent things:
"First-Ask the advice of an in
Ncstment firm having reputation
for conservative advice.
"Second-Be sure that the securi-
ty recommended is we'll known and
has an established standing or rat
ing and a market.
Third Insist first on the safety
and second on the income return.
''Fourth-Do not buy on margin.
