general and at all times. The state
ment of the origin Of the waltz is
surprisingly coarse and it is a won
der that one who is public teacher
Of morals should have it in his heart
and mind to parade such remarks in
public / don't think we are particu-
larly interested in the life Of the per-
son who originated different forms
Of dancing but we are all vitality in
terested, or should be, that our pub
recitals of such things as were here
told for the evident purpose Of say
ing something sensational.
The dance is not a modern insti-
tuition. It was not originated by a
debased person in France but came
down to us from the earliest times.
We are told that David danced be-
fore the Lord with all his might"
and in the beautiful 149th Psalm
which would respectfully direct all
persons who are out of joint with
the world to read and imbibe the Joy
and gladness that is there radiated.
We are exhorted to Praise him with
timbrels and dance-Praise Him with
stringed instruments"
The dance is the natural express
sion of joy and happiness. In the
highest sense it is kindred to what
song is and nothing can excel the
beauty, grace and harmony Of dances,
moving in cadence with the soft
strains of music.
There are persons VINO can see
wrong in the sweet fragrance of flow.

brook and in all nature, but how
much greater the contribution Of
the common good Of those who refuse
to dwell on the dark, the wrong and
the coarse.
To condemn dancing as indecent,
immoral and debasing is to condemn
the majority of the womanhood of
the world. Can anyone bring them
selves to that state of mind that says
that nearly all of our women, our
AuOCuSIS anu 04SCS1Sy are lOW anu uS-

we must say when we hold the OPT
MON that dancing is immoral
The crying need of the times is
tolerance and we should all hold our
selves ready to strike at the specter
of intolerance when it arises in our
midst. The schools Of the country are
the great bulWorks of progress and
we select our instructors with regard
not only to their learning but with
greater regard for their influence on
the lives of the yodng. Part of the
education of the youth is to provide
clean, wholesome amusement. For
this reason in all localities. it has
come to be recognized that the high
school is the proper place for the
young to meet and engage in dane
ing under the watchful, careful SUI
pervisiOn their instructors.
Let us try to live in a larger, broad
or and more healthy atmosphere,
where we will not see so much wrong,
where, in fact, no wrong exists.

Hulda had little hen that wouldn't

portant steps toward giving China q
square deal'' were taken today when
the far eastern conference adopted
the Hughes and Geddes resolutions
declaring against unfair diserimina
ton of Chinese railways and for even
tuaf Chinese control of tflhse2lines.e
Still another important move wa.
an agreement to list all existing com.
mittments and concessions held by

which are secret.
Tomorrow a resolution definitely
covering such listing will be adopted
The effect of this move is to bring

BUILDING ACTIVITY
SHOWS INCREASE

nue., for Joseph J. Simmons, presi
dent of the Imperial Valley Title com-
pany, to cost $500. j. G. Miller is
also building himself a home at Fifth
and Brighton avenues, to cost wher
completed approximately s25oo.
The remainder of the building going
on in the city is confined to recon-
struction and alteration contracts
that in single items do not amount to
a great deal, but add a good many
thousand dollars to the total being
expended.
Other building work that has just
been completed is of that class of jobs
that do not run into money for ma
terial and construction but has added
materially to the prosperity OF the
town, in that each new building has
provided a place of employment for
several hundred m2n who would other
wise have been idle.
This reference is to the new packing
sheds which have been erected IN the
vicinity Of the Southern Pacific rail-
road tracks in the industrial section
of the city. They are all complete
now and are teening with industrial
life each day, the men and women en-
ployed there being engaged at the
present time in preparing portion OF
the Imperial valleys great crop OF Ice
berg lettuce for shipment to the mar
exits of the country, and the wonder
ful pomelos which grow here to
richness of quality surpassed nowhere
else in America.
The California Vegetable union,
which is the cooperative organlza-
ton of vegetable growers of the val
lev has just completed a packing
house at New and Brighton streets at
cost of $4,000. An additional like
sum was spent on packing house

SHIPMENTS SHOW
ACTIVITY IN VALLEY
Continued from Page One)

water direct to Liverpool from San
Pedro mad San Diego.
Ciaggett, Gooch and Northcross,
however, are making heavy shipments
over the Southern Pacific lines via
New Orleans to spinners of cotton
goods in the Carolinas and Georgia,
and these shipments it is said will
continue for some time to come, the
movement to domestic mills being
rather heavy at the present time, and
raw cotton of the quality required
being scarce in some of the leading
Southern markets, strange as that
may seem.
The reason for this is said to be
that the boil weevil, that steady and
persistently destructive enemy of cot
ton, having been extremely busy in
almost every cotton growing section
of the South, but fortunately for local
growers never having found hold in
local fields. The rigid inspection by
both United States department of ag
riculture agents and the inspection
force of the county agricultural de-
partment having so far kept the val
ley free from this dread pest.
sCotton is freely moving across the
line at Calexico from the valley plan
tations below the line and a great
deal of the hold-over from Seeley and
other sections of the valley has been,
or is being, moved into Ell Centre, or
Calexico for shipment either north or
