FIRE FROM THE REAR AGAIN

1t is curious that Imperial Valley can't attempt
thing without having fire from the rear,-that there
should be with those whose purpose and object
in life is down. But such be fate Per-
haps it is such experience after ALL But
must know it for what it is. We must know that
coming the enemies from within is merely part of the
big job of mastering the difficulties which beset and
forward never wavering, never hesitating.
There being published in of the papers of the Val
ley nsdous propaganda against the consolidation and
drainage bonds Some of course inspiring it and for
which either mistaken sinister 1t doesn't
seem the Press that this propaganda should have
appeal to any but narrow and uniformed mind 1t
doesn't furnish merely tries to frighten with
the boge of debt to hold out promises the fulfmen of
which not in sight There is nothing to it for the
who thinks and makes up his mind upon foundation of
but unhappy people do not always think these
things Evidently always to have this fire from
within the camp. 1t is phase of the great battle which
being waged to put the Valley upon solid foundation
There is nothing do but ncudehs small plague with the
larger go with the good fight to destroy the
whole pack of them There is at least consolation in
the that problems large that the little pests
felt very much. If just mobilize the courage
and determination the big difficulties, the
little will be fattened out in the without Civ
ing them any special attention.

"STOPPING" THE PRESS

AS is always the in the midst of political cam
pagn there those who cannot brook any
with their of things and accordingly stalk into the
office to top the Press This is of Judgment OF
but than that error OF statement There
is no such animal as stopping the Press.
The Press goes and will go on furnishing forth the
elegraphc and local spced in the most deectabe
stye and serving the increasing family of
happy and delighted readers. All that person do is
to separate himself from something which he really wants
and which ought have for the Improvement of his mind
the refrehmen of his spirit When he does that ne Is
himself the only sufferer The publishers of the Press do
not even that they have stopped All that they see
the main namely that every day there is net gam
in the paid subscription of the that people are pleas
ed and much pains let be known that they
appreciate what being done to put Imperial Valley on
the map from a newspaper standpoint.
The publishers of the Press veterans at the game
They expect to with the policy of the
paper they did should be that some
thing was wrong And the thing for those to do who
for the moment the other side of the fence to look
pleasant and try stop anything Not knowing who
they are almost any time likely to have something
pleasant about them in the and OF course II they
weren't subscribing and reading the Press all of this would

Saturday Evening Post: The year
1921 witnessed % low statistical con
sumption of foodstuffs. The records of
flour mills show low flour production.
The makers of cereal foods from corn,
barley, oats and rice have done re-
duced business. According to packing
house figures the output of meat pro
duets has been surprisingly low. Dairy
products have held up fairly well. The
sugar consumption has been normal.
The frosts of last spring gave the
country east Of the Rocky Mountains II
very small fruit crop. Taken at face
value, we have no records indicating
so low a food consumption except pos
sibly during the year of war conserva-
tion.
Under statistical consumption are in
cluded ingestion, trade stocks and
waste. The stocks in the trades have
not been large. Buying has been done
from hand to mouth. Trade stocks
cannot be invoked in explanation. That
people are actually eating less is great
" to be doubted. When times are
hard, people do not eat less, they eat
cheaper foods. The world over, the
use of bread rises in hard times. But
during the past year we witness not
an increased bread consumption, as
judged by flour production.
The explanation is to be sought in
reduction of waste. The lessons of the
war have abided with us. No country
ever witnessed such intensive instruc-
tion in management of the diet. Waste
became Synonymous with dcreliction
This lesson Of saving we have appar
emily learned.

COMMUNICATED

The following appreciative letter has
been received from S. T. Tyler, former
manager of the Irrigation District, and
we'll known booster of Calexico. The
letter is especially appreciated because
Mr.. Tyler has made Il study of the
matter and is probably the most active
spirit in working out similar problems
in our neigh boring city and has achiev-
ed results which if not the envy of Ell
Centre people are at least conspicuous
enough to make them sit up and take
notice:
Dear Mr.. Barton:
| have Just read your letter to home
builders in today's issue of The Press
and hasten to tell you that | consider
it the best constructive criticism |
have had opportunity to read since
coming to Imperial Valley.
Every man who has the interest of
the valley i'll his heart will do well to
read and re-read it many times and see
that his friends and associates do so.
1t should be a leading topic in our
public organizations and fraternities
and also churches, for its not simply
the subject of building real homes, but
of building real character which you
have presented so ably and candidly.
We may{ be. sure this is a fertile
field for both as well as for the strict
ly material things.
We have long been in need OF a paper
that would view us as we are and tell
us and keep telling us plainly and
clearly, without fear or favor, of the
conditions that exist that must be cor
rected-tlle existence of which we
should be and really are ashamed.
Sincerely yours,

Nothing could give finer feeling of confidence and
courage than to have number of residences under
