PCT MORE CARS
NOW THAN 1915
Lettuce Crop Here Is
More Than so Pct.
All California

In 1906-1907 an idea was CON
ceived that the California lettuce
should be used in every household
in the United States. 1t was the
opinion of many Californians that
we had the finest lettuce that was
produced anywhere. SO ut that time
experiments were started to find out
the best methods to prepare the let
tucc so it could be delivered to dis
tant markets in Il merchantable con
dition. In 1907 the first straight
ear of lettuce was shipped from Los
Angeles to Salt Lake City.
As the years went by the ship
ments increased, rs did also the de-
mand for the lettuce. So in the fall
of. 1915 a few acres of lettuce were
planted in Imperial Valley. From
this small acreage less than 90 ears
were shipped the following spring.
These first ears of lettuce were
of such wonderful quality that 4
decided increase in acreage was
made the following season and so on
each succeeding season until-+}is
year the Imperial gValleT>shipped
about 1900 ears, mqrs>fhan half of
all the lettuce shipped from the state
Of California. The approaching sea-
son promises to show so per cent
increase in the number of ears. If
we continue to improve our farming
methods and try to live up to our
present standardization law in grad
ing and hacking, lettuce growing
will in time be the greatest farm
product in Imperial Valley.

IN INCARNATION

Can You imagine Queen Victoria
ever having been Alexander the
Great? or Napoleon in the role of
Hannibal9 That is what Glen FL
lison who is to give concert in
FL Centre on December II, believes.
Moreover. he is very serious when
he tells Won about it.
~ believe that people live
through various stages of the world
as different people," says Ellison.
In one life a man may just be Il
common ordinary person, nobody
so far as the world 8 knowledge is
concerned, but somewhere as he.
progresses to the ultimate or per.
feet stage, or retreats to the lowest
state, he may become known, pos,
sibly as u great statesman, or may
be as a notorious criminal. -

Won think soul must go through -
Ellison was asked.
"People go through centuries
and centuries of living until they
reach the ultimate or perfect state,
OF that which many people call hea-
ven, he replied. everyone has
the same opportunity to reach this
perfect state although his progress
may take him through many and
varied fields. -
Practices Theories
Ellison declined to say what pre-.
vious eXistences he thought he had
had. He did say, however, that his
belief was that we should continu-
ally strive for the best in life and
for the betterment of our fellow
men.
Ellison evidently believes in put
ting this theory into practice, for
he displays much real human SYM
pathy, and puts such note of Joy
BUSINESS into his songs, that you can
not help feeling better, bigger and
more content with your day s work
and the difficulties that are ahead
Of You. Perhaps this theory also
accounts for the fact that Glen FL
lison is one of the most popular
singers in the world.
Miss Alta Hill, popular pianist,
will assist Ellison at his recital
here. The Imperial Valley Hard.
ware company, who is bringing
these eminent artists to FL Centre,

offered to the music loving public
free. No formal invitations have

CENTRALIZED CIVIC
/. ACTIVITIES URGED
Women's City Club Forum
Speakers Say Betterment
Efforts Too DiffuSe.

Need of better coordination and a
directing force among the organiZa-
tions of Washington working for
civic betterment were stressed ny
speakers at Il forum luncheon of the
Women's City Club, held yesterday at
the City Club. William Knowles
Cooper, a former president of the
Rotary Club and general secretary
of the Y. NJ. c. a, declared that while
I'VE have more individual brains in
Washington in proportion to the pop
ulation than any other city of the
United States" there is lacking the
cooperation among them which is
needed for the City'S good.
He advocated a central force to CO.
ordinate and direct the activities of
all bodies in the city working for
civic betterment and cited the Rotary
Club as an organization which has
been able TO combine the efforts of
able business men in many worthy
and charitable causes. He cited the
$1,000 spent annually by this organrz-
alton to entertain the city's unfor-
tunate children at Christmas.
City's Needs Stressed.
Harry Stringer. president of the
City Club, also stressed the need for
cooperative work. He took up in
detail many of the needs uf the "ify.
citing the high pressure water Sys-
tom. school building program and
better street lighting as among the
more pressing necessities.
He advocated the creation of body
or 100 citizens to serve as a repre-
sentative group of citizens of Wash
1ngton and represent the city in its
various efforts toward civic better
lnent One advantage of such an or
Eanization would be doing away with
practice which allows individuals
70 appear before congressional COM
mItteeS investigating WaShington'S
needs and possibly convey erroneous
and misleading impressions of what
Is really desired by Washington.
Tells CT Child Help.
Claude owen. president of the XII
wants Club. described the workings
of his organization and it" efforts to
help children. Many children are now
III hospitals undergoing cures for
troubles for which their parents were
unable to pay, he said.
Mrs. William L. Chamberlain, pres
ident of the Womens City Club. urged
members of the club to observe the
golden rule dinner" to be held the
first Sunday of next month for the
benefit of the Near East Relief.

TWO TRAFFIC AIMS

Widening of downtown streets

adoption of the arterial highway
proposal are being given serious con-

The proposed widening Of some OF
the heavily used downtown streets is

petition from owners of property on

Of that traffic thoroughfare between
9TH and 18th streets.
