POLITICAL PLANS
Are FORMED
BY LEGION

Surnassing in numbers and interest
all expectations of the leaders, 200 eX
service men representing every town OF
the VALLEY gather at the Poppy theatel
in Caliymtria last night to enjoy Z
BANQUET ana consider plans for tho
FIXTURE Of the ex service men s political
orronization in Imperial Valley. Plans
were adoptcd for the coming elections
and Tuesday night, March 4, was Sc
lrc,ed for the next gathering, TO be
held in the Tulane theater, FL Centre.
Service was the theme of every
sneaker OF the evening. The point was
brought ont in every talk and appar-
entity well received by the listeners
| that the election of candidates and the
passage of legislature by eX-serviec
men must be considered only ms II
| means 10 I'M end-true service to their
community and country rather than
the end in itself.
1t was moved and carried that the
chair, Elmer Heald OF Calipatria, pres
ident of the organization, be author
lied to appoint a committee made up
of two ex x.service men from each town
for tine purpose of considering eandl-
dates desirous of the organization )
support.
This committee is 10 meet Monday
night, March 8, TO prepare report
for the general meeting the following
night. \ form for such candidates TO
fill out was drawn up and approved.
An interesting feature of this form is
that the candidate agrees TO Withdraw
from the race if he does not receive
the organization s approval and turn
his efforts towards supporting the or
sanitation s selected candidate.
The program outlined and adopted
was declared by men present to be one
Of the most farreaching political CT
forts made by> ex service men Of any
community.
Judge Franklin j. Cole, first speaker
of the evening, took as The text OF his
words, "Whera there is no visions, the
people perish.
He urged the men to keep before
them broad ideals and purposes i'll their
political efforts, and reminded his
listeners that there were much bigger
duties for the eX-service TO perform
and purposes to accomplish in the polit-
ical field than the election of candi
dates merely because of their being ex-
service men. And in order to endure,
he brought out, this organization must
keep before them these broader ideals
and vision He mentioned the use of,
the organization moi only for this
service but also for the social gather
ings.

EXPLODING A MYTH

The wine and beer advocates are not
likely to throw up their hats and yell
their approval of the series of articles
now being published by Frazier Hunt in
Hearst's international Magazine. Hunt
has been on trip to Europe gathering
material for series of articles on the
worldwide war against booze. He is a
careful observer and states the facts in
most readable and convincing manner.
His latest article is on conditions in
France,
He shows that in spite of the i'm
poverishment OF France, her drink bill in
1921 was in the neighborhood of one
and quarter billions of American dol
lars The drink bill of France would,
in two years, pay all her debts to Amer
lea.
Those who are advocating the return
of wine and beer in this country some
times point to the French as an illus
tration of the people who can drink and
