stations is performed by men train
ed in this special work.
To the Refrigerator companies is
also delegated the work of advis1

wolves comprehensive system of

pers and their selling organizationsI
Special attention is being given
to the physical handling of the
fruit en- route, and ways and means
are constantly being sought to pre-
vent damage by careless handling
All this sounds like an attempt to
whitewash' the railroads but
such is not my object.
The railroads should - and. i
know that they. doA-welcome every
opportunity to get closer and closer
to their patrons, the shippers, and
discuss freely with them ell mat
sters affecting transportation prob
lens. Mutual study and willingness
to overcome difficulties and the
closest possible cooperation be-
tween shippers and the carriers will
help us all more than l can say.

ness be transported on fest and
dependable schedule; also that re
gardless of climatic conditions en-
countered in the long transconti
| mental journey to-. the markets, the
fruit must be kept at an even tenn
perature--cool enough to retard, de
cay but not cold enough to freeze
it.
Because of their inherent nature
these crops must be shipped when
mature, and delays at shipping
points spell losses to the shippers.
A Railroad Job
OF late, experiments in handling
this business by vessel through Pan
anna Canal, have been tried, but re
suits so far make it plain that be-
cause of the nature Of the traffic,
the methods employed in marketing
the fruit, and the wide scope of
territory in which it is finally dis
posed of, that this transportation
is essentially a railroad job. l think
this-must be conceded.
1t is self evident that the rail
roads should not only accept their
duty as common carriers in this
regard, but should put forth their
utmost endeavors to handle the
traffic in q way that will foster
and develop it. This is not sole
ly because of the revenue that the
railroads derive from a large and
increasing tonnage, but also because
prosperity of the fruit growers
means prosperity to every other
line Of industry in this agricultural
territory; and that, in turn, means
increased freight and passenger
business for the railroads serving
this district.
SO the questions arise, "What
should the carriers do ind "ln
what respect do they fall short of
, what is requisite7'
Service Important
Tho principal and most import
ant factor is good service.
Good service in the matter of an
adequate supply Of the proper kind
Of cars, ready to distribute to the
hundreds Of widely separated load'
ing stations, when wanted.
Good service by way of furnish
, ing and maintaining Schedule
that will get the fruit to market III

that, keeping shippers in constant
touch with their cars, and extending
to shippers the privilege Of diver
sion of cars in transit; also care

Elect C0fericO Woman
to TDo School Boards

II is noted with interest that
Mrs. o. y. Pratt, president of the
Woman s Improvement Club of ca
lexico, has been elected as a mem
Der of both the high school and
elementary school boards of her
home town. Mrs. Pratt is a woman
of broad culture, is active in the af-
fairs of her community and will
without doubt be valuable mem
Der of the school boards.
Calexico has from the start kept
women on its school boards and the
club women of that city have been
alert to public affairs of all kinds,
probably more SO than in any other
section OF. the county, though most
Of the rural communities elect
women as school trustees.
In this respect, FL Centre seems
to be behind all of the other towns
of the valley and it is matter OF
frequent comment by women Of af-
fairs who visit the valley. They
are astonished TO find that no
women are on the city scheal
boards, and that only one is on the
library board, this last being pos
ition which women have served ev-
erywhere with marked success.

striving to live up to these require
ments.
l have no desire to deny that
during periods Of peak movement,
shippers do suffer from lack Of
cars, but that has been impossible
to prevent. The financial condi-
tion of the railroads has been such
that they could not purchase the
additional equipment, however
much it has been needed. The de-
Election of westbound transconti-
mental traffic to the sea routes has
slowed up the return Of refrigerator
cars to the Coast, Notwithstanding
the fact that western lines have
handled them empty by the train
loads on special schedules. Add
ed to these difficulties, there have
been, as was the case during the
height of the last shipping season,
operating conditions beyond the
power of the carriers to prevent or
overcome.
Buying New Oars
However the roads are max ing
good progress to overcome tho ear
shortage. All Of the transconti-
mental lines are now spending mil.
lions of dollars in tho purchase of
many thousands Of refrigerator cars
substantial part Of which will be
in service in 1923.
In tho matter Of time in transit
conferences between carriers and
shippers have resulted in the adop.
tion of schedules which are salts
factory to shippers and which can
be maintained by the carriers
These schedules involve gathering
of individual shipments loaded at
the various shipping stations into
trainloads for movement intact to
the principal distribution centers of
the cast.
United Stages will be allowed to op.
The requirement as to attention
to the shipments in transit, is

Local Y. ". c. A. Elects
Officers for Coming Year

Officers were elected at an in
teresting meeting of the FL Centre
Y. W. c. A. last night at the home
of Mrs. R. B. Kepley. Mrs. kepley
was the unanimous choice for presi-
dent. Mrs. Burrett Allen for vice
president, mrs. c. Z. Gones, secre-
tary, and Miss Agnes Ferris, treas
urer.
rue meeting was we'll attended
and all are enthusiastic over plans
for the spring aud summer. The
girls work in the valley as it has
been carried on las awakened q
wide interest though it has been
somewhat handicapped this winter
for lack of an executive secretary.
Local leaders have done well, how.
ever, and many new troops OF Girl
Reserves have been organized in
the towns and rural districts during
the year. The highest ideals have
been kept before the girls by their
leaders whether at their play or
in the more serious phases of their
lives. It is the purpose of the or
ganization to secure a secretary be-
fore the camping season and it is
sincerely hoped that she may re-
main in the county for the coming
season.
Most of the high school girls in
the county are y. w. c. A. Re
serves. There are five troops i'll
C. L. II. s. and they have been
busy lot this winter. Tomorrow
night one of the groups is giving
kid" party at the high school
to which al the others have been
invited. 1t is to be regular high
jinks party and no end of fun.
There will be eats, of course and a
short, interesting program. The
mothers of the girls are all invited
too, and they are 10 be girls that
night and have 4 good time also.
Mrs. X. L. Glasby, county presi-
dent, has kept things well in hand
and the secretary when secured
will not come to disorganized
group but TO one that is very alive
and up and doing.

u. S. Farm Loans
in Valley Are
to Be Renewed

Another note of optimism is
sounded in the declaration that the
prospects for federal farm loans on
Imperial Valley property are very
bright. -
According to Charles F. Stern,
vice president of the First National
Bank of Los Angeles, who visited
tho valley recently, plans are under
way for renewing government loans
within the next two months for the
first time since withdrawal from
this territory in 1918, -.'-
Through stern's efforts a survey
of valley property has been made
and sent on to Washington where it
is receiving favorable attention,
The Boulder Dam and All-American
canal agitation and drainage work
now under way are said to be vital
factors in fastening the work.
The loans will be made by the
Federal Farm Loan Bank through
the Stock and Land Bank.
Baseball umpires, aviators aGo
actors all get good pay, but look ap
the risk they run.

April Fool Party Is
Full of Surprises

The Sans Souci Girls entertained
last night in honor of their hus.
bands and sweethearts at a most
novel April Fool party. The love
ly Brooks home west of FL Centre
was decorated, but not with spring
blossoms. Inverted onions were III
vases to represent Easter lilies; let
tuce heads, alfalfa, carrots etc, fur
nished unusual greenery, tin plates
adorned the plate rail, and so it
went. The April Fool idea was
carried out also in the menu when
ice cream served from 4 huge
freezer turned out to be potato
salad, the punch was simply water
with vegetable eoloring and all
sorts of spoons were used III the
place of the beautiful silver that
has always adorned the perfectly
appointed table at the Brooks home
Even bridge was the crazy
kind" but it was great fun and
the prizes created no end of merri-
ment for they were far from being
the conventional thing in this line
