 The personal interest developed by this form of investment naturally leads to a keener feeling of responsi- bility in our government, and thus encourages a higher standard of citi- zenship which makes for greater sta- bili+~ in our communities, more. care in expenditures, and more earnest consideration of the possibilities of the future.
 During the present month the re- maining outstanding Victory Notes will be redeemed by the Government and the money thus released should be reinvested where it will not remain idle and where it will be safe There is no better security for a five-year

SOVIET BOYCOTT
 ORDERED BY A.F.L,
Affiliated Unions That Deal With Moscow Will Be Suspended,
 Declares Statement.

Washington, May II.-The Amer can Federation of Labor is serving ultimatums on it's affiliated unions re- ql1iring non-recognltion of the Soviet government of Russia, with the alter native of being suspended from the federation. Even approval of the Bolshevist authority is to be a cause 1 for the cancellation of a unions char | ter.
 This policy was emphasized when the legislative council of the fedora ton made demand upon the Central Labor Union of Seattle to rescind it's indorsement of the Soviet govern | ment.
 Condemns Soviet.
 A statement issued by the council reads:
 The American Federation of La bor has many times made it plain that it cannot countenance support of Bol- shevism or any kind of connivance, open or otherwise, in behalf of the Soviet dictatorship, which the Amer iCan Federation of Labor has repeat edly condemned in convention The American Federation of Labor has ample evidence of the Bolshevist de- signs upon the American trade union movement and the American govern ment.
 Tt requires that subordinate af- f7liated organizations adhere, to the policy laid down by the conventions in relation to this question. It re- quires that affiliated organizations must not give aid and comfort or support of any kind to a movement that seeks the destruction of the American trade union movement That is the meaning of the action taken today in regard to the Seattle Central Labor Union."
 Acts in Minneapolis.
 The federation sent an organizer to Minneapolis to demand that the Trades and Labor Assembly return to trade union policies. He was in charter if it failed to comply with the the conditions laid down by the coun-
 No labor body in the country would think of permitting itself to be used in the interest of the so-called open shop" it was said in a state ment of the council, land there is no more reason why any labor organiza- tion should permit itself to be used for the propaganda of the Soviet die tatorship Or the propaganda of any revolutionary organization or clique.
 American labor Is constructive and evolutionary, and democratic; not rev. olutionary, not wild and hanatical, not autocrat1c, not reactionary. Let us keep our good name clear and clean and let us devote all of our en- ergy and effort to Organization and to democratic progress"

This photograph, taken at the con- clusion of the recent Conference of Directors of the U. $. Government Savings System held in Washington, is proof of the interest which the Ad- ministration is taking in this unique method of interesting the people of small means ss partners in the Gov ernment of OUT country.
 Since January 1st, 1922, the Gov ernment has sold for cash or issued iE exchange for ms tured War Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certifica tes to the amount of S292, 100000, and thousands of small investors have thus safeguarded their money where loss from monetary depression or from burglary or fire is impossible.
 Treasury Savings Certificates are issued in denominations to fit any pocketbook: they meet a popular de- mand, and the Treasury Department is convinced that it is highly profit able for the Government to distribute

The individual loans thus made to the Government give valuable assistance in financing these World War obliga lions which are now be- coming due. They also guarantee safety and a good interest rate>to the investor. The limit of individual snb- scrfption is restricted to $50O0 matur- ity value which costs $41OO, but each member of a family may hold that amount if he so elects.

Clark Offers to
Help New Cotton
Selling Exchange

In connection with the proposed
establishment Of a cotton selling
agency and exchange in Imperial,
sponsored by the Farm Bureau. c.
G. Jenkins, manager of the bureau
has received a letter from H. H.
Clark, general manager of the Colo
RADIO River Land Company, contain
ing valuable suggestion and advice
which nave been as a result of Mr..
Clark s experience in conducting a
cotton selling agency in Calexico,
and offering the assistance of his
organization to the farm bureau, to
aid in getting the new agency start
cd.
Mr.. Clark s agency hmuies only
cotton which mas been grown on
land leased by the Colorado River
Land Company, and selling charge
of 81 per bale Is made for the ser
vices of the agency, which is the
same price as the farm bureau ex
change intends to charge. Only the
most experienced classcr5 are en-
ployed and Mr.. Clark generously
offers their services to the proposed
exchange when ii is desired to check
up on classification work.
Due to tie fact that there has
been no concentration point for the
sale of cotton in the valley, and
also because Tie farmer had no
means Of ascertaming the grade of
his cotton; sales have been made
from one to three cents per pound
less throughout the valley than Mr.
Clark has been able to get for his
cotton. He believes that the pro
posed agency viii remedy this con
dition ANA enable the farmer to
obtain the highest price for his
product.

Boil WeeviI Is
Fought in South
With Airplanes

The work of the Department of
Agriculture at Tallulah, Louisiana.
in developing methods and appara-
tus for dusting cotton TO kill the
boil weevil, is being continued this
summer and heavier planes are be
ing used. In the spring three De
Hayiland 4B planes were detailed
by the War Department for use IN
these tests, and competent engin-
GERS and pilots were also provided.
Previously considerable work on
this problem had been done with
light machines, and the use Of the
larger ones has made it necessary
10 modify the distributing mechan-
ism. Several types of dust hoppers
have been made for meeting the
new conditions, but it will probably
require some time to develop a de
sign which viii be satisfactory.
Several plantations near the laud
ing field have been mapped ana all
arrangements have been made for
dusting the cotton with the planes.
The results of the new tests viii be
awaited with interest by all those
connected with the cotton industry.

Inmates at the county jail were

feed yesterday through the gener

Holtville, who is now connected
with the watermelon industry, rep
resenting a Los Angeles house. Mr..
Sheldon sent up nearly half hun
dred melons, which Sheriff Gillett
and his deputies distributed among
the inmates Who were delighted to
get a change from the regular jail
fare. Approach Of the melons to
the men S tanks was hailed with
howles of approval and in a short
time generous portions were being
devoured by the prisoners. To sew
eral colored inmates the melon was
like mamma from heaven and they
easily won all honors in disposing
of their shares.
Sheriff Gillett greatly appreciat-
ed Mr.. Sheldon s thoughtfulness and
il is certain that the inmates were
equally grateful.
