tative John NJ. Nelson of Wiscon-
sin, leader Of the Progressive group
which has demonstrated its ability
swing the balance Of power in
No house. THIS bloc may prove the
controlling factor i'll tax legislation.
Congress must redeem its pledge
to the people by Tightening the tax
burden where It weighs heaViest, y
declared Nelson, "but first It must
keep faith with the soldiers. 1t can
l@and viii do both if Progressives
have their way
Nelson contends That With q sur
plus Of nearly 100000 in the treas
urv in sight, congress can pay the
bonus, estimated at about fS0,000,-
eco for the. first year and at the
same time cut taxes $500 100000 or

commended by Secretary Mellon
without q bonus bill.

worlds champion Holstein, was
won by Ed Forester, well known
valley ranchcr, who considers him

GRAPE GROWERS
OF SOUTH END
TO COOPER ATE
Articles of incorporation
to Be Sent Sec. of State
Very Soon

At a mass meeti9g of thc grape
growers of the softh end of I'M
perial Valley held kp<El Centre re-
Gently it was unanimously voted to
form cooperative marketing asso-
citation of grape growers.
The name of the new orgNization
will be the Imperial Valley Crane
Growers Association, and will op-
crate for the next year at least in
the south part of the valley with an
idea of affiliating with the Brawley
association in the near future.
a committee, consisting of Roy
Brecdlove, chairman, a. Toprahan-
ian, Ward McGrew, J.. +. Cooley and
o. l.. Bradshaw, was elected as tenn
porary directors and authorized to
employ an attorney TO draw up ar
ticles of incorporation based on the
bylaws as read. When this is done
these men will sign the articles Of
Incorporation, which will then be
sent to the secretary OF the state Of
California for approval. When this
has been secured Il mass meeting
enrolled, and permanent set OF by
laws and officers adopted and elect
ed.
This is considered one Of the most
important moves to be taken in
Imperial Valley this year. While
grape growing has been profitable
for number of years, the large
paintings in the last three years
| made it certain that unless orderly
marketing Of grapes was brought
about, only disaster could result.
This makes the second cooperative
marketing association that has been
organized within month with the
assistance of the Farm Bureau and
the Agricultural Extension service.
The articles of incorporation OF
the Imperial Valley Asparagus AS
sociation are now in the hands of
secretary Of state and will soon be
sent back to the valley, following
which a membership drive in this
association will be held.

that make up the jazz band with this

to give lovers of jazz their fill of
music and those who like dancing as
only colored entertainers can dance
will get plenty of it. Comedy is
another feature which abounds
throughout the production, and the
singing is fine. The show opens fast
and continues at top speed from start
to finish. We ask that all who can do
so, attend the 3 p. m. show, as this
company is only booked for Sunday,
and it will greatly take care of the
big rush that will be in evidence for

In this exclusive and amazing pic
turization of the present life of the

long range lens attached to the cam

within three or four feet of the cam

The value of these unusual pictures
are enhanced by the fact that the ex-
kaiser, unconscious that he was being
photographed, was entirely off his
guard, hence some very unusual pic
lures were obtained, showing him
in various unconventional actions and
attire.

NEGROES DESERT
SOUTH

Washington.-Southern agriculture
must adjust itself to new conditions
because of the negro exodus, accord
ing to a survey of farming districts
in the south by the department of
agriculture. The report indicates
that the negro of today will not ac-
cept pre-war conditions. The reasons
include unrest among returned negro
troops who experienced more attrac-
tive living conditions away from
farms during and after the war, and
the breakdown of the contract labor
system
Georgia is hit the hardest by the
exodus. Approximately 13 per cent,
or $4,000 of the total number of ne
gro farm workers in that state is es-
timated to have moved north during
the last II months, and the movement
continues, although crops for the
present season are already started.
