Germans Gain in Prestige
The Germans, who have played 81

commercial relations are analogous
. Probably there IS no moro important
minor feature of the conference than
the growth of the prestige Of the Ger
mans. They sit in every sub-commls-
sion along with the Allies, not because
they were elected by the other states
but because the convening powers
agreed they are entitled 10 full repre-
Aentation. The opinion of their eX-
~perts receives the closest attention OF
. the conference. the Italians treat them
with the greatest respect and there is
developing something Of the feeling
which existed before the war, when
Italy and Germany were allied.
The Germans and Russians have come
pretty close to an understanding, but
! jnst what advantage Germany will get
s out Of the conference is difficult to
sforesee because nobody can say to what
degree the reparations questions will be
safectcd by ar exchange agreement.
Material progress is tangible and it
can be weighed and measured, but per

RealtOr Chief Sees
Future for Valley

FL Centre real estate men enjoyed an
excellent program Saturday night fol-
lowing the banquet rendered to execu-
tive officers of the California Real
Estate Association at the Barbara
Worth.
c. c. C. Tatum, president of the as
sociation, was the principal speaker
and expressed his delight and surprise
at the conditions he found in Imperial
Valley, it being his first visit to this
part of California
He was particularly impressed with
the crops of asparagus and grapefruit
which he saw while on a trip around
the valley Saturday. He said he had
always been of the impression that the
heat of Imperial Valley was draw
back to it, when he was told that it
made it possible to get crops to the
market weeks and months ahead of
other sections, he considered it an as
set instead of liability. In his opin-
ion, the people of Imperial Valley
should boast of the summer heat here
instead of apologizing for it, as it was
the foundation of the valleys success.
O. A. Vickery, treasurer of the asso-
citation, also expressed his qualification
with the things he had seen in all parts
of the valley and predicted that within
five years, land in the valley would be
selling as high as $1,000 an acre be-
cause of its wonderful productiveness.
Short talks were also made by Glen
ID. Willaman, secretary, and Everett a.
White, field director, also by Ray
Edgar, president of the FL Centre

Prof. Gore to Tell
Chamber of Efforts
at Experiment Farm

Prof L. G. Gore, of the University

speaker at the weekly Chamber of
Commerce luncheon at the Barbara

the chamber.
Professor Gore will tell of the work
that he is doing at the experimental
station in the way of experimenting
with the crops peculiarly adapted to
Imperial Valley, also the results of
soil research work in which he has en-
gagged.
Mr.. Coyle paid visit to the exper-
mental station last week and was sur
prised to find out the extent of the
work that is being done there and said
in his opinion it will prove invaluable
20 Imperial Valley ranchers, too few
IF whom are aware that there is an cx-

AS the members of the Chamber of
Commerce are very much interested in
the discussion of soil fertilization,
which is now being brought to the at
tention of people all over the valley
by the Associated Chambers of Com
merce, large number is expected to
attend the luncheon.
The program in connection with the
luncheon will be so arranged that it
will be concluded at | o'clock so as not
to interfere with the business hours of
members. Those desiring to attend are
requested to notify the secretary be-

ATTORNEYS REJECT
BONDS FOR COUNTY
COURT HOUSE HERE
Unofficial Report Shows
Something Wrong With
Big Issue.
Failure to Post Notices Is
Blamed by Attorneys;
Long Delay

To be or not to be, that is the ques-
tiOn.
Is Imperial County to have court
house or must business continue for an
indefinite time at the shack on Main
street which is done the compliment of
being called a court house!
While information had not reached
the board of supervisors this morning,
it is learned from well informed un-
official source that the bond attorneys
have turned down the 100000
court house bonds.
The decision to refuse approval of
the proceedings in connection with the
bond election is said to be based upon
failure to post notice of the election in
every precinct as required by law. In
structions to inspectors were sent out
by the clerk s office, but in a number
of cases, it is said, that the party ad-
dressed was out of the valley and
either failed to receive the instructors
or ignored them. At any rate, 1t is
claimed that several of those named as
inspectors did mot serve and that in
structions in regard to the posting of
notices were never carried out.
Opinion at the court house this morn
ing was to the erect that the stump III
the bond market had probably had
more to do with refusal to go through
with the bond purchase that errors in
conducting the election; nevertheless
no one questions the seriousness of the
situation which is created by the ne
glect of someone to attend to these de-
tails in the way that the law requires.
1t is said that there are one or two
possible ways out of the difficulty. An
act of the legislature might be secured
validating the bond issue, or, as in the
case of the Brawley high school bonds,
a ruling might be secured from the at
torney general of the state approving
the proceedings. In any event, long
delay is promised before ground is
broken and actual construction is com
menced.

Black Shirt Chief
Plays Leading Role
at Lausanne Parley

LAUSANNE, Nov. 90 - Premier
Mussolini of Italy today showed every
intention of playing the leading role at
the Lausanne peace conference.
After forcing Premier Poincare and
Viscount Curzon, British foreign minis
ter, to go to Terriet yesterday to con
suit with him and hear Italy view
point before meeting with the Turks
here in the parley that may settle the
fate of the Near East, Italy's black
shirt prime minister resumed his con
versations here today with the French
and British statesmen. 1t was consid-
cred possible the conference might not
open today, the allies requiring more
time to coordinate their. views before
meeting the envoys of the victorious
Turkish nationalists.
The delegations are lined up in two
camps, for despite great efforts to re-
concile divorcement views, the British
and French are battling to decide which
nation shall establish supremacy IN the
Near East.
The Turkish peace conference has
two tasks before it, the making of Il
peace treaty between the Greeks and
the victorious Turks, and the formula
tion of a treaty between the Turks and
the allies, to replace the treaty OF
Sevres, scrapped by Turkeys defeat OF
nople. The allies have before them i
problem requiring the settlement of 1t
important points of disagreement.
