IT'S THE MAN

A story is told by Roger Babson of big manu-
featuring whose statesmen called together
at a time when business slowing down. They
arose. after another and reported poor sales and
a bad outlook. Soon the convention hall full of
gloom. The meeting, called to put pep into the
organization, the point of running its morale
altogether.
Suddenly the chairman jumped up and announced
that he needed shoeshine and going to stop pro-
ceedngs to get it. He sent for bootblack and got
his shine right there the platform while the sales
men looked on in surprise. That convention, they
knew, was costing their firm about 500 minute.
Then the chairman called the meeting order again.
'The bootblack who preceded this fellow, he
announced couldn't make his guarantee of 81 day.
This one is cleaning up $50 day. 1t isn't the mar
ket for Shines he shouted. Its the mani"
That whole convention to its feet with cheer.
There gloomy reports and forecasts.
The statesmen went back to their territory and turned
in during the next six months, the biggest volume of
business in the history of the company.
That is the spirit in which to tackle the new year.
1t isn't the market that counts. It isn't the year. Its
the man and the institution.

ACTIVE AND HELPFUL

According to a recent news item given out by the
Seventh Day Adventist church that organization is now
carrying missionary work in l1S different countries
1t is scarcely to be expected that the average per-
could off hand that many countries. SO
when come to consider that this religious sect is
actively pioneering and proselyng in that many parts
of the world have comprehension OF the VIDE
spread influence of the church. 1t may perhaps be
truthfully said that other religious body is more
devoted to the of spreading the gospel This par
ticular church is certainly carrying out the divine
injunction go We into all the world
In another way this church reaches human hearts
in most effective manner. This is through its great
number of sanitariums and hospitals. 1t makes
practical appeal to the spiritual through the phys
cal. To remarkable degree it allevates human suf-
fering, binding up wounds and ninstering to bodily
needs It is carrying out broad program of this
in Southern California. 1t is just completing mil
lion dollar hospital at Glendale 1t has most excel
lent sanitarium at Paradise Valley and similar one
at Iona Linda And it is most gratifying in this con-
necton to note expressed purpose to establish
sanarum in this valley, probably at Ell Centro That
the need heres very appears to the most casual
observer.
This portion of the state is so far removed from
the other populous and we-develOped sections to
make peculiarly essential to provide the best meth
life When these plans mature for institution of
service here the promoters may feel assured their
phlanthropic and progressive spirit will be duly appre
ciated. AS earnest of their larger beneficent
intentions We may appropriately cite the estab-
lishment Of dispensary at MeXicah where eXten-
sive field presents itself for that sort of hepfuness.
Whatever phase of human endeavor contributes to
strengthening the moral fiber, augmenting the spirit
ual qualities and promoting the physical we'll being
well building up the financial structure of this
valley, will always have the WarmeSt cOmmendatlOn
and support of the Imperial Valley Press.

Instead there stood Mr.. Litsletail,

roller skates that had made the

Mr.. Littletail in his jolly voice.
"Hello!' answered the rabbit

Pledging Aid to
BOrderland Assn.

In letter received by the FL Cen
tro Chamber of Commerce from
Stanley Hale of San Diego, secre-
tary of the Borderland Highways As
sociation, the latter makes a report
on his trip East for the purpose Of
spreading propaganda in behalf of
the Borderland Highways Associa-
tion which he states is meeting wIth
success.
Arizona and New Mexico cities,
Hale states, are only too anxious to
cooperate with Yuma, Imperial Val
ley and San Diego, in directing tour
list traffic over the BOrderland route,
and readily consented to distribute
literature. III Paso seemed extreme
" gratified that the association had
sent a personal representative TO
call upon them, and where the feel
ing had been apathetic at first, per-
sonal contact eliminated this, and
Hale believes FL Paso will be lined
up on the side of the association.
Hale is now visiting Kansas City,
ST. Louis and other central west
cities, and on the return trip will
stop at Texas cities, and if time per.
mits, will stop over in III Centre be
fore going on to San Diego.
The Borderland Highways Assoei-
alton was organized to develop tour
ist traffic over the Old Spanish
Trails, the Lee and Bankhead high
ways, and its membership is compos-
ed of cities through whrch these
highways pass. Colonel Ed Fletcher
