/ enacted. This is known as thu
8 per cent Law, which limits TIT
emigration from any country u
/ one year to three per cent OF the
people now here from that coun
try. 1t is practically tariff OF
manual labor and on common
] labor. IF continued, it will cause
a famine of common labor in this
country. 1t is the reason why
the United States Steel Corpora-
ton and other concerns are IN
creasing the wages of common
labor. If this law continues very
much longer it will cause an IN
flation in the wages of common
labor and thereby tend to bring
about a general initiation.
"The Tariff Bill, which was
passed last month, is a second
cause of initiation. Whether or
not a tariff is good for the coun-
try is a political question and is
not for me to discuss, but all
students are agreed that it is
largely a temporary stimulant.
The tariff helps the manufacturer
the same as the immigration Law
helps the wage worker. But
neither the tariff nor the Immi-
grafton Law increases production
or makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before. The
tariff will cause an increase in the
price of goods the same as the
Immigration Law will cause an in
crease in wages. Increasing
prices and increasing wages, how
ever, do not make the country any
richer. The country becomes
richer only as it has more houses,
more bushels, more tons, and more
yards of goods. Marking up the
price Of goods accomplishes moth
ing. With about thousand dol
lars you can today buy a million
German marks and become mil
lionaire, but you are no richer than
before.
"The third event that will help
bring on the initiation, happened
last week when England gave in
to Turkey. England has been the
one great country outside Of
America which has stood for law
and order; for the payment of debt
and sound currency. The la k OF
France and Italy to back up Eng.
land on the Turkish matter has
shaken the confidence of the worlt
in Europe and European secur
tiles. Even some Englishmar
themselves are saying, What's tn.
use. If no one will back us III
we had better let nature take it

BUSINESS INITIATION TEN
PORARY SAYS BABSON

OVSkAxO Oh 4<AAOOA'
Wellesley Hills, Mass, Oct. z
22.-Discussing the statement OF
certain bankers that the country
is headed for another period OF
initiation, Roger w. Babs0n today
issued the following statement,
from his statistical offices at
Wellesley Hills:
aFor readers who are not bank
ers and economists, let me first ex-
plain in simple language, what
is meant by initiation. Men who
are acquainted with the Babson
Chart Of Business Conditions know
it is made up Of two lines-frst a
normal line, representing the per-
manent growth of the country
which looks like simple uphill
grade and second line which
looks like the outline of hills and
valleys. The second line repre-
sents temporary business condi-
tions. For few years it is above
the normal line and then for
few years it is below the normal
line. When the two lines coin
eide, business is normal; but when
the second line is above the normal
line, bankers say we are having
initiation, while when this line is
below the normal line, bankers
say we are having deflation. Just
now they say that we are theaten-
ed with another period Of initiation.
1.-THE normal line Of business
is determined by the honesty, in
telligence, industry, and thrift of
the people. Comparing the health
Of person, we would say that
the normal growth depends upon
how we behave and how we take
care Of ourselves. The temper
airy business line, however, is af-
fected by stimuli the same as our
body. A stimulant may greatly
exhiliarate US, but we know the
effect is only temporary and the
reaction afterwards is very de-
pressing I've feel much worse in
: few days. This is the scientific
explanation of the common saying,
Il feel like the morning after
There are several reasons why the
bankers may be right in saying
that a temporary period of infla-
tion is at hand. The country dur
ing the past few years has been
given three distinct stimulants,
which artificially help business and
thereby cause nflaton.
'cThe first Of these stimulants
was the immigration Law passed
. year ago which was recently re-

FARM DEMONSTRATIONS

Demonstrations were carried on
by county extension agents in 1871
on 100000 farms with variety OF
crops and animals. In connection
with these demonstrations, accord
ing to reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture, 75,OOO
field meetings were held with an
attendance Of 1000, 600, 900.

course This means that Europe
instead of checking its bad lead
ers, has given in to them. me
Turkish victory is victory for the
inflationists Of Europe. The back
ing down Of England is defeat for
the sound money interests OF the
world. This is bound to have an
unfortunate effect in this country
and cause higher interest rates.
The cheaper rate period in winch
we have been entering may tenn
porarily be checked and even
money may be scarce for shors
time. AS the immigration re-
strictions cause an initiation IN
wages, and the tariff an initiation
in interest rates.
ssThese three factors may cause
temporary initiation. None OF
them, however, affect the long
swings of business which are de-
termined by fundamental econo-
mic law. So far as the long
swing goes, we are In a PERIOD Oh
deflation which will continue Tor
some years to come. Over the
long period of years the tendency
of wages, prices, and interest rates
will continue downward. However,
it is very likely that this tendency
has temporarily been checked and
we shall probably have all the
ear marks of period of prosperl-
ty during the next few months.
General business as reflected by
the index of the Babsonchart is
at the highest point in over two
wears. Activity this week is but
5 per cent below normal as COM
pared with z per cent last week
and 10 per cent a year ago.

WILLIAM J. BATHRICK
SUCCUMBS TO STROKE

William j. Bathrick, widely-known
Imperial contractor and builder, pass
ed away at 1925 last night at his home
on South E street, where he had been
confined to his bed since Thursday
morning, following a stroke of par
alysis through the right half of his
bdoy rendering him speechless. AS
Mr.. Bathrck was in the prime of life
and health, great hopes were enter
tanned for his speedy recovery. The
news of his death, which spread over
town quickly last night, came as a
severe shock to his neighbors and
friends.
Mr.. Bathrick was born in Iowa Feb.
ruary Ia, 1873, and would have been
forty-nine years old at his next birth
day anniversary. He came to Imperial
the latter part of 1911. He is survived
by his widow and three children, two
sons, Weldon and Wayne, and daugh-
ter, Miss Lucille; his father, J. H.

WANT CONTRACT MODIFIED
CONTROL OF COLORADO VITAL PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE
WALKER TO TALK
ON FARM TROUBLES

Arrangements have been completed
for monster meeting in the High
School Auditorium, tomorrow at 200
p. m. The purpose of the meeting will
be to hear an address by DR.. w. H.
Walker, president of the California
Farm Bureau Federation and member
of the Executive Committee of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
The subject of DR.. Walkers address
will be Working out the Salvation
of the American Farmer"
All persons who had the privilege
of listening to this noted speaker at
the Farm Bureau picnic in Calexico
last April will remember the stirring
talk he gave at that time. 1t was one
of the finest talks on the agricultural
conditions existing in the United
States ever heard in the valley.
DR.. Walker is looked upon as one
of the powerful men in the gigantic
American Farm Bureau Federation
and his intimate knowledge of the sit
uation today of the American farmer
should make his speech one that will
well repay any one coming long d s.
tance to hear.
The remarkable work accomplished
during the past two years by the
American Farm Bureau Federation
has brought forth the highest praise
not only from farmers and business
men, but from the heads of the gov
ernment. Foreign countries have sent
men over to study this organization
w}sh view to creating similar bodies
in their own countries.
In his speech DR.. Walker will relate
in his inimitable manner some of the
accomplishments of the national and
state organizations, and will also
make recommendation as to how peo-
pie in Imperial Valley can step out
and keep the ball rolling.

Eastern Football Team Plays
Wonder Team of West Off
Its Feet in Great Game at
Pasadena T ornament

The University of California's Won
der football team was played off it's
feet in yesterdays East against the
West game at Pasadena, by the Wash
ington and jefferson college team of
Washington, Pa. The final score was
0 to 0.
California was outplayed by this
alleged "set-up" from Pennsyl-
vania, foiled at every turn. And the
western forward line was given a val
liable lesson in football. 1t appeared
to be an over-rated team against an
nder-rated team. Washington and JET
ferson loomed as the best eastern foot
ball eleven seen on the Coast, and Cali
fornia never looked worse. The heavy
field it is true, seemed less of handi-
cap to the easterners, who kept their
feet much better, and the slippery ball
nullified California's passing game.
Yet this does not explain why at times
the Bears appeared as novices in the
hardy hands of the Presidents, whose
linesmen were equally adept at open
ing fissures in the bigger California
barrier, or fashioning a stonewall on
the defense.
Early in the game, Erickson ran
from midfield through the entire Cali
forna eleven for touchdown, but
was called back because some of his
mates had been offside.
Capt. Russell Stein was everywhere
on the defense, apparently ubiquitous
and universal. But two passes were
completed by the Bears, one a puny
affair for no gain and the other re-
suited in the loss of the ball when the
receiver dropped it after sliding 5
yards, only to have it snatched up and
carried back by the alert Erickson
The once invincible California colos-
sus was able to drive through or
around that rocked-ribbed Red and
White line for only two first downs
while the Presidents, sure-footed as
chamois and sturdy as bullocks, drove
through for six.
Yet, in spite of these things the
California line was never in jeop-
ardy, and the desperation of their de-
sire to score was such that Stein tried
two place kicks from impossible dis
tances with a slippery ball-40 yards
and 45 yards--and each forlorn chance
| failed.

SIMPLE PLAN TO ESTIMATE
FOOD SUPPLY WEEKLY
FOR YOUR FAMILY
New Bulletin Shows How to Adapt
Needs to Any Household and How
to Buy Economically.

Housekeepe!s o-ten feel the need
of some simple plan by which the
foods used in their families can be
compare in kind and in amount with
those really needed. This calls for a
standard or model that may be used
as a guide in the selection of foods
for any family at any season of the
year and under any market condition.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has just issued a new
Farmers Bulletin, No. 1928, prepared
by Caroline L. Hunt. The subject of
the bulletin is "A Weeks Food for
an Average Family" 1t shows how all
food materials are classed under five
heads or groups, and how all foods,
with the exception of the milk for
young children, may be replaced by
some other food or foods within the
same group. The text gives sugges-
| tions, and method for comparing
the cost of similar foods. 1t shows
also how to adapt the allowances Civ
en- in the sample food supply so as
to meet the needs of families larger
or smaller than the average. The bull
letin contains many illustrations, use
full tables, and menus. 1t may be OBJ
tanned upon application to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
An important point emphasized in
the bulletin is that balanced food
supply in the course of a week in
sures balanced diet, whether or not
the balance is carried out in each sep
arate meal. Many housekeepers have
felt, however, that it was necessary
to serve at least one food from each
group at every meal, in order to sup
ply a proper balance. If the weekly
food supply is satisfactorily distribot-
ed the exact makeup of the separate
meals is not important. A breakfast
of toast an dcoffee (for an adulD is
Ientirely acceptable if foods from 9TH

BRAVES BEAT
bRAWLEY IN
VERY FAST

John Billing S Ell Centro Ball
Team Gives Visiting Club
Lacing in One of Best Play
ed Games of Winter Season

The Braves started the New Year
off right by handing the Brawley
team a trimming in one of the best
games of ball ever played in the Win
ter League. Practically the entire
game was played in drizzling rain,
making perfect fielding difficult be-
cause of the wet ball, and giving the
pitchers a hard time trying to control
q slippery horsehide. Notwithstanding
the poor weather, the grand stand was
we'll filled with enthusiasts, and the
usual number of machines were park
ed around the field.
The Brawley one-nion team, con-
sisting of Salazar, formerly pitcher
for Mexicali, put up a dandy exhibi-
ton of base ball, but was not in the
same class with the fast Braves. Josh
Billings and Lindimore were the out
standing figures for Ell Centre, Josh
stealing home when run was needed
to sew up the game, and Oil Howard
playing game of tag with an en-
thusiastic Brawley base-runner. One
Brawley man tried his luck at steal
ing second, but was cut off by Josh's
neat peg to Lindi.
Both Salazar and Cooper pitched
splendid ball, Cooper whiting 16 men
and Salazar tanning II. The hits were
evenly divided, each team bagging A..
The Braves, however, proved them
selves masters of the base-running
game and netted a total of eight
pilfered sacks. All three runs came
as a result of stolen bases.
The grand stand went wild when
Manager Josh, with two men down,
stole home with Kepley aiding him
by swinging at a wide one, and which
brought in the winning run. The big
boy skidded as he stepped across the
pan and turned a flip-flop into tho
mud.
Umpire Nance, ordered for the game
by the league officials, was a source
of constant vexation to the players
and the spectators, and succeeded in
calling nearly everything "what it
was not" However, he showed no
favoritism, and razzed one team just
the same as the other.

MUTUALS ARE
TALKING D n
PROPOSED
COMBINE
President Nickerson Pleased at
Discussi n Going on Today
Over Proposed Contract For
Absorption of Companies

At the meeting begun late this af-
ternoon of the board of directors of
the Irrigation District, a number Of
directors and officials of mutual water
companies from the north end of the
county are consulting with them on
the matter of modifying the terms of
the contract proposed by the Dis
trict for taking over the mutual COM
panies.
When the mutual directors tcle-
phoned that they were coming in by
train for the purpose of discussing the
contract President Nickerson ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased.
"We want them to come to the board
meetings and put their feet under our
table. We submitted the contract as
an idea of what we thought would
be fair basis to start from-a sort
of foundation. We want to hear them.
We know that the mutuals have diff
ferent conditions in different locali-
ties. Some of them have waste drain
age canals, some have not, some have
stock issued in one way and some an
other. We believe that if they will come
down we can arrive at an equitable
contract which all will sign.
"There is another thing about this
matter, /, speaking as one director
zpt probably representing the views
of the others as well, do not want the
people of Imperial Valley nor the mu-
tual water companies to think we are
trying to force this thing. This ideo
Of getting the affairs all under one
head comes primarily from the state
bond commission and from financial
interests who will cut off our credit
entirely if we do not do it. They
want it and while we are not trying
to force it at all yet we believe it is
an economical move and certainly it
our credit is cut off and we are re-
fused approval on bond issues unless
we do it the appearance of force
comes, not from within but from with
out. They disclhim force also but mere
ly say we ought to do it for our own
preservation.
"If ever there was time when
Imperial Valley should present unit
ed front it is right now with the
Boulder Dam project so near fav-
orable conclusion. Secretary Hoover
is a go getter' and is already NOV
ing rapidly. Few people here know
that Secretary Hoover has already
been to Boulder Canyon. He met Re-
clamation Chief Davis theer a week
or ten days following the San Diego
hearing. He has already called the
first meeting of the interstate COM
mission. Later it will be followed by
meeting somewhere in this section
We should all be united to show the
commission at this meeting how we
stand. Then the bill should be pre-
pared and submitted to congress with
the approval of Secretary Fall and
the commission. believe the ad-
ministration will be behind it and that
the legislation will be passed without
serious opposition provided Imperial
Valley does not present a divided
house."
