NO SEPARATION

The separation of any part of Imperial Vaey from the
whole is not to be counenaced This Tor several
reasons which are fundamental -
The Imperial Valley is UNIT The notion that 1t can
be ANYTHING else than united whole has been the basis OF
most of our troubles All parts of the valley are one In
spirit and material interest The theory that the
water system of Imperial Valley can be anything ese eh
one PHYSICALLY is unthinkable.
Arguments of some plausbility are advanced by ma
iory stock interests No Water Company to support
the contention that would be all right for everyone con-
cerned to have the section left out Of the consoda
ton These arguments, however, deal with expedlents ana
ignore first principles.
For one area left outside OF the Imperial lrriga-
on District would be a continual thorn in the flesh. 1t

THE FATAL CROSSING

According to reliable authorities during the first three
months of the careful crossing campaign conducted by
the railroads the number of grade crossing accidents m
per those of the corresponding period
year ago. The increase seemed due wholly to automobile
wrecks Other types of accidents at such points showed
decrease.
A Pennsylvania railroad bulletin commenting on the
situations says the fault with "a comparatively small
percentage of inexperienced and irresponsible automobile
drivers 1t makes the Illuminating remark that locomotive
engineers thoroughly trained in every detail Of their
work. and required to demonstrate their knowledge ana
ability to operate trains safely before they are allowed TO
take train out ..
There is doubt that higher requirements for drivers
automobiles would lessen the number of accidents but
that is not all of the problem Many grade crossing dis
aster has fallen upon careful and expert driver, and
through fault of his The fact is that the grade

The value of all farm products have taken
drop in the after-war re-adjustment, but the
greatest fluctuation has been in what might be
termed "tabe luXures"
The farmer, who today is raising those crops
which the country cannot get along without. IS
playing safer than the farmer who is going after
the bigger profits promised by other products.
Lack of employment, strikes and hard times do
not so greatly affect prices of fundamental
crops, and it is only the farmer with adequate
capital that can afford to gamble in raising lux
uries. ; s9a &t&
We are glad to note that Imperial Valley is

The author hunted far and wide
for a girl with a smile that would
do that. Many applied. flappers,
sub-debs. vampS and baby vamps.
But none quite filed the bill. Their
smiles were too knowing or too
mechanical, or too something.
Then Dawn came. Her smile was
perfect. 1t said everything the au-
thor wanted. SO she got the job.
Up to that time Dawn had given
the future little thought, having had
so little present and past. but. of
course, she expected as a modern
young feminist to be self supporting
If the necessity arose.
But her fame as a model spread
and requests poured in upon her to
pose for young women's clothes and
accessories and she was so BURDEN
ed with opportunities that after a
consultation with her mother, who
acts as her business manager, it was
decided she might undertake a lin
tied number of engagements.
or course. she is always carefully
chaperoned and works only for short
periods.
Her smile has lost non of its
spontaneitv and Dawn's future looks
bright. She's tremendously inter-
ested in her career n when n
gets a little older she'll be glad to
tell you about it herself.

The speaker said that Rotary is

it has seemed that whenever a great

ing together of a body for the gen.
eral uplift, or an organization that
could mold public opinion for the
carrying out of high ideals, such a
body has come into being, said DR..

Times Again
Seen In Jerusalem

JERUSALEM, July 29.-(Asso-
ciated Press Correspondence
This is the great Moslem feast of
Bairam, and Palestine and Syria
present scenes of unusual gaiety and
animation. The w countries are
really one. Only the artificial divi-
sion to suit the ideas of British and
French mandates make them two.
The people are the same. Aleppo,
by the extraordinary French agree
ment with Mustapha Kennel of An
CORA, is now deprived of all its him
terland and all it's trade, and it must
either die or be returned to the Turk
again.
The crops are being reaped, the
barley cut, and the fields are re-
splendent with flowers. One can
see prototypes of Ruth and Naomi
in every field, cutting the corn with
the sickle and cleaning afterwards
rs they did in Biblical times, on the
southern slopes of Bethlehem. This
e probably has been painted a
hundred times by American and Gu
ropean artists. but they have never
got it quite right. For the women
of the East squat on their heels to
reap, using the lett mana TO nOlu
the sheaf and the right to use the
sickle. In pictures Ruth is always
shown as gracefully bending but no
Arab ever bends. In the East no one
ever walks where he can ride. or
stands where he may sit, or sits
where he car lie down. This is the
land of true repose.
The Arab custom is to have three
great blocks of. arabic land, and to
cultivate them, one every third year,
leaving the other w great fields ly-
ing fallow. They use the same prim-
tive methods of cultivation as of
old; a camel yoked with a donkey
to pull the wooden plough, and the
sickle as the only instrument of hus-
bandry.
Jerusalem is a perfect kaleidoscope
of color. Jews with long side curls
and brightly-colored robes, not yet
accustomed to their new found lib
stink along the pavement with
eyes; young, bold, self-as-
Zionist Jews in white shirts
open at the throat: Russians in
blouses; defiant. contemptuous
with their flowing white head
dresses: Moslem women shrouded
in black wells, and oassing them the
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-08-23

modern young women of Jerusalem
in cheap silk stockings and high
heeled shoes.
Up and down the street the pic
turesque Palestine Gendarmerie ride
upon their gray Arab ponies, or talk
to the town police, IN khaki ard
black astrakhan fez. 1t would be
hard to find such a strange mixture
Of races even on the East Side of
New York. The sober British infan-
try or garrison artillery, smart and
alert, take up positions along the
Jaffa road to see the pretty girls go
by. AS usual Tommy Atkins is
quite inconspicuous, and 1t is diff
cult to believe that he alone allows
all these warning races and creeds
to meet and pass in peace. He keeps
the peace in all the Near East now.
Were it not for him, many lives
would be in danger.
Not far distant from the ancient
capital is a different picture. In the
fields of Beersheba, GAIA, and the
Mount of olives the traveller sees
10000 crosses marking the graves of
the British soldier dead, to whom
the subject races of the Holy Laad
owe their redemption.
