Auction Plan
fOrI.V. Melons
Finding Favor

Plans have been made by the Nat
ional Auction Company of Los Ang-
eles and Pittsburgh to sell canta-
loupes at auction in Pittsburgh this
season, commencing June 4. A local
office has been established in Ell
Centre and shippers using the ser
vice will furnish the Western office
with all information necessary
when the cars are rolled, inspection
certificates, ect., which information
will be immediatly mailed or wired
if the shipper so desires to Pitts
burgh where the car will be sold to
the highest bidder at auction. When
the sale is made, the result will be
wired to Ell Centre, which office
will in turn notify the shipper and
issue check in payment for the ear.
j. j. Parver of the Consolidated
Brokers, inc, New York, who is
now located on the ground floor
of the Barbara Worth Hotel has
for some time been working on the
plan and reports that much interest
has been shown by growers and ship
pers in this plan of selling canta-
loupes.

Now Is Logical Time to Buy
Long Term Bonds, Says Babson

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
May 25., 1928" Should the in.
vestor buy long term bonds now or
wait in hope of getting them at
lower prices''
This question is uppermost in the
minds of the investing public.
Roger w. Babson's statement on
the situation, issued today, pre-
sents evidence which deserves care.
full consideration by everyone in.
terested in the future of invest
ment securities.
Money rates are easy ac-
cording to Mr.. Babson, "and will
continue at about their present po.
sition for some time to come.
"January saw Commercial Pa
per at Az per cent on the aver
age. In February it rose to 4&
per cent. March brought it slight
ly above 5 per cent. In April it
ruled at Is per cent. Early May
brought it back to 5 per cent. Pre-
sent indications are that it will
continue at about this same level
throughout the summer. Time
loans have been made by the banks
on about this same basis, whil9
mortgage money is available in the
east at ) to & per cent.
Banks Give Cue
"From the point of view of the
bond market this easing in money
rates indicates a slackening in the
demand for commercial loans, an
increase in reserve on the part of
our banks and shrinking up of
the increased credit necessary to
finance the sudden squirt in busi-
ness at the beginning of this year.
Since it is the habit of our banks
to invest surplus funds in bonds as
reserves grow, and to liquidate
these bonds when commercial needs
demand increased borrowing on the
part of the general business pub
lie, it means that the banks of
the country have turned from a
policy of selling their holdings to u
policy of buying them back again.
When the banks were selling they
not only removed their purchasing
power from the bond market but
flooded it with their own holdings.
When they reversed this position
the stream of bonds that has been
coming into the market from the
banks is shut off and they offer
purchasing power not only for new
but also for old issues. AS long as
they are buying and holding their
Imperial Valley press., 1923-05-25

bonds, prices cannot very well 90
below present levels, and should
evidence a slight strengthening.
Two Factors Affect
"When we examine the outlook
as to the possibility of the banks
changing their present position we
see but two factors which might
cause such shift during the bal
ance of the year.
elf in reaching the peak of its
long swing bull movement, the
stock market develops into a fever
ish squirt, it may be necessary for
certain of our banking interests TO
liquidate bond holdings in order TO
provide the cash necessary for stock
loans on a higher price level. This
might cause Il temporary sag IL
bond prices.
"The other factor to be consid-
cred is that of crop moving which
always puts Il seasonal strain on
our financial machinery beginning
about the first of August and end
ing the latter part of October. This
seasonal demand for additional
credit may force commercial rates
up fraction, probably not more
than one half of l per cent. This
probably will cause Il slight reces-
sion in bond prices.
"All present indications point
to easier money and higher bond
prices during 1924. l doubt very
much whether it will be possible to
buy good investment bonds next
year at anywhere near their pre-
sent levels.
Buy Now Advice
From the investors point of
view the present bond market of
fers real opportunity. Prices
may react slightly on either of the
two developments outlined above,
but | am not at all sure that the
investor who waits and tries to pick
these exact low points will save
enough to make up for the inter
est he may lose in the meantime. If
you are buying securities for Il rr-
gular income | suggest that you
buy sound, long term bonds now,
and that you continue to buy them
for the remainder of 1923 as funds
become available. -
General business is holding its
own in spite of the slaekening OF
trade in some lines. The index of
the Babsonchart shows general acti-
witty at per cent above normal
within l point of the high point
for this year.

HAVE YOU GIVEN
YOUR BIT TO THE
OVERSEAS FUND?
Only Few hio1e Days
For Citizens to
Do Duty

With only a lew days more before
contributions arc sent into, National
Headquarters. the Overseas Graves
Endowment Fund of the American
Legion for FL Centre, today amounts
to STA. When the Press announc-
ed the other day that the fund had
reached $3.50, member of the
local bar sent in his check for $3.50
to make it an even 800. His con
tribution was followed by two more
for 81 each and the American Leg
ion boys at last night S meeting
passed the hat and obtained SIP
more.
According to figures from nation
al headquarters, published in the
last issue of the Legion Weekly,
the total fund is far short of the de-
sired amount. For this reason it is
felt that communities should re-
double their efforts in the remain
ing few days of the fund to make
up the shortage from places where
the fund will fall short. The Week
ly gives the total contributions to
date approximately one week ago.
as $4,000 and as the desired amount
is at least 100000 it can easily be
seen that there is grave danger of
the goal not being reached.

Irrigation Report
Shows 1443 Men
Worked in April

Report of Roy s. Carberry, chief
engineer for Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, for the month of April, thor
oughly covers all the work of the
district and shows affairs to be in
first class condition. Considerable
work was done or the levees in pre-
paration for the annual rise in the
river, and it is interesting to note
that the water did not reach the
proportions in April of this year
that it did in April 1922.
A total of 1,443 men were en-
ployed during the month, the dis
tribution being Ell Centre, 81; Calex-
leo division, 80. Holtville southern,
ion, 2s4; Mexico Valley, 162; Calex-
leo division, 80! Holtville southern,
l01; Holtville northern, 1853; I'm
perial division, 2l5; Brawley divis-
ion, 75; Calipatria division, u.
Extra help was necessary in the
Ell Centre office during the month
due to the assessor and collector en-
ploying extra field assistants. There
is also a material increase on the
river division occasioned by prepar
ations for the rise in the river. A
slight increase in the Imperial di
vision force is due to increased
buildings and shops and mechanical
repairs for the entire system. With
these exceptions, a reduction in
labor was noted throughout the
forces.
