restoration, Mrs. Sampley simply
replied: "Why, Tanlac is the best

mendation, and ! am so thankful

Declares Restoration by
Tanlac Was Little Short
of Marvellous - Had
Suffered Three Years
Without Obtaining Re-
lief.

A recent interview with Mrs. NJ.
c. Sampley, 1925 23rd St., Los
Angeles, Cal, disclosed the fact
that, by the help of the Tanlae
treatment, she has succeeded in
overcoming physical troubles from
which it was said she could not re-
cover except by an operation.
The unpleasant recollection of
her three years of suffering plainly
showed in Mrs. Sampley's face as
she told Of various treatments that
failed to afford her any lasting re-
lief, but the evidence of her pre-
sent good health could not be de-
MED in her smile as she emphasiz-
ed the benefits she had received
from Tanlac.
"a twenty-five pound gain in
weight is one OF the things Tanlac
did for me-" said Mrs. Sampley,
"but that Is as nothing compared
to the fact that my troubles are all

Chamber Head
Calls Meeting to

By Press Staff correspondent

INLAND, March GA special
meeting of the INLAND Chamber Of
Commerce has been called for Mon
day night, when Frank COddington,
the newly elected president, will
name his standing committees and
delegates and announce the work
outlined for the coming year. Sec
retary Burke returned yesterday
from FL Centre, where he spent sew
eral days after accompanying the
congressional party to Yuma and
over the irrigation district works.
and will give Il short account of the
trip to the meeting.
The chamber of commerce is in
most prosperous condition, and
the members are looking forward to
year of activity and progress.
Many favorable comments have
been received on the original letter
head which the INLAND Chamber
uses on its stationery. The design
was originated by Mr.. Burke and
worked out by Mrs. Edmund Welch.

problems pertinent to the city man
alone - problems which demand
much time and effort-finds il pro
fitable to give more than passing
thought to agriculture, surely the
ri Centro chamber should be an
agricultural chamber Of commerce
the right hand bower OF the lmper-
ial county farm bureau.
am glad to note on tonight
program as chamber of commerce
speakers, chairmen of the lettuce
marketing committee, of the DAIRY
committee, cold storage develop
ment committee, of the road com
mittee, etc. l firmly believe that
YOU are on the right track. There
is not banker, professional man
or merchant in FL Centro, who does
not have TO think in terms of agri-
culture, and in so far as these men
give of their successful ability to
agricultural problems, Imperial Val
lev will benefit.
The Breakdown
wish to read to you an extract
from the current issue of one OF our
national weeklies:
1.-The breakdown in our eiviliza-
tion today is agriculture. The past
season s harvest was so huge that
the railroads have been. swamped,
our granaries cannot hold it, and its
value was $2,000,000,000 more than
the season before.
"The answer, simply, is that the
prices of our farm products are kept
down today because European ma
tions are not able to buy much Of
our surplus. Thus the home market
is glutted and our farmers have too
narrow a margin of profit
You see that farmers are up
against world wide condition.
Ny remarks tonight are based up
on 1s wears of ranching in Califor-
mia. / am not alone Il "desk farm
err for | have followed the plow
day in and day out; / have made
tons of hay; 1 have packed oranges
and lemons; and l have worked in
the vineyards.
Likes Small Farms
l believe that you are on the
right track in your 40 and 20-acre
farm campaign. We must quit
spreading expensive labor over a
big acreage, scratching the top Of
the ground, stopping lot of waite
onto our crops or failing to irrigatt
the corners. The day of careless
haphazard methods is gone-shoulG
never have been allowed to hav,
been with us--today and tomorrow
we have got to make every agricul
tural effort spell results.
More than 20 years ago, was EN-
ployed on the Chase ranch in K
Ca.ion valley, / rode Stockton
gang plow, scratching the ground
from four to six inches deep. Year
after year. this ranch was cropped
to bay and grain and the straw
stacks burned. 1t used to be said
that the boss liked to have ttt
teams driven out into the roadway
to manure.
What was the result! When thi.
ranch was cut mp into small hold
ings, it took about the third croJ
of owners before these small farm
/ began to pay dividends. There were
approximately two sets OF owner
who went broke and elsewhere
Imperial Valley press., 1923-03-22

Iamming Southern California and,
especially, FL Cajon valley.
Keep Soil Rich
| am glad To note that you have
soil-fertility committee. With full
vigor and Joy of youth, soil of I'm
perial Valley has been giving you
wonderful crops. We must not let
this athlete 90 stale.
Imperial Valley raises crops
which are largely consumed in an
other corner Of the country, Great
ing tremendous marketing problems
which must be squarely met and
solved if we are to compete with
other nearer agricultural sections.
More power to your marketing com
mittee.
The cowtesting association,
which is simply keeping a set Of
books Oh the individual dairy herd
and being able to put ones finger
on profits and losses, should not
alone have a set OF commendatory
resolutions, but should also have the
active boosting support of the I'll
Centre chamber of commerce.
/ believe that the chamber Of
commerce should spend itself not
entirely in seeking new settlers,
but that q large part Of its effort
could be well spent in getting our
people to settle down to business
methods that of making every
agricultural effort in Imperial Val
ley pay the biggest possible divi-
dends. The success of our present
population would be worth tons of
the best booklets ever printed.
Too many have looked upon I'm.
perial Valley as an incident in life =
cycle. The agricultural prosperity
of this fertile section has attracted
them, and they came to make a
killing planning TO go elsewhere
to create permanent home.
Better Homes
Let me touch upon the subject of
homes, telling you about an adver-
tisement which / wrote for the
bank, advocating better homes on
our ranches. 1t was headed bet
ter homes,' but the compositor set
it up as "bittcr homes.' OF course,
I caught the error before the paper
went to press, but I have since been
wondering if that caption did not
accurately describe many homes
here in Imperial Valley.
Daring my last trip to the valley,
we ran across a beautiful fence Gov
cred with climbing roses, and we
stopped the auto to see the real
home which must be within-we
looked in upon the Brawley Gene
terry. / have since been wondering
if some of our women-folks were
not little jealous of the home
their departed sisters have in that
cemetery.
Every woman is entitled to the
best home her man can afford
There should be shade trees, flow
ers and greenery, and inside, place
for real home-life for herself and
children. Hundreds of visitors
have remarked within my hearing
he lack of real homes on the ranch
rs of Imperial Valley. don't
wonder that the women want to get
out during the summcr-tho wonder
5 that they are willing TO remain
here during the winter.
Good Home Tie
The family with n real home does
not itch with the urge to continu
ally seek pleasure on the outside
hey are better able to Withstand
agricultural re-adjustments such a,
ve at present are experiencing; and
best of oil, they are better able t.
withstand prosperity, becoming per
! manent assets to the valley.
