BANKERS CONTRI-

COMPELS FARMERS TO FUR

ERS DESERT FARMS.

Chula Vista, Cal-W. r. Edwards,
manager Nonpartisan League of Cal
ifornia has returned from an inspec-
tion tour in Kern county, and reports
that apricots from last years crops
are still in the packing houses of the
cooperatives, with no offers for this
years crop. This spells bankruptcy
for the growers.
GRAPE GROWERS RUINED
The same situation exists in the
grape growing districts. The presi-
dent of one of the biggest chains of
banks in California is also president
o fthe fruit commission house which
handles most of the grape and apricot
crops. This firm compels the farmer
not only to furnish the fruit but to
pay the freight as well.
BANKRUPT GROWERS GIVE UP
HOMES
Many of the bankrupt fruit growers
have given up their homes and have
gone into the desert to start again
The bankers, who are also frequently
commission men on the side, then take
over the land and lease it to tenants.
The state assembly passed a bill for
an irrigation project sponsored by the
Kerr Land Co. and the Miller & Luxe
estate, owning huge tracts of Cali

on a valuation of 500 each, and UNI
improved land is not assessed for
four years. Thus, the farmer pays
for his improvement and the owners,
many Of whom are absentees, reap
the benefit.

IDENTIFYING A FORD

rolled into a compact bundle by a

came a communication saying: at

Writing about the plans Tor
the Presidential vacation has
been q favorite form Of amuse-
ment for the last several weeks
and the stories haven't al
ways agreed. The Hardings
were going honsebcating with
the McLeans. Or with the
Frelinghuysens. or they were
going to occupy one Of the
several Florida homes Of the
Harvey Firestones. Orbut
why 90 on, for official an
nouncement Of the arrangements
so far made was given out at
the White House early in the
week.
It il true enough that house
boat trip down the Indian river
and along the other inland water
ways Of the Florida east coast
win be the most important feature
Of the President and Mrs. Har-
ding's five weeks vacation. And
that they are to be guests Of Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean
on the houseboat Pioneer, which
they have chartered and which is
now at Ormond, Fla, ready to
set sail the moment the Presiden-
tial party arrives.
And II is quite understandable
how the story that the President
and Mrs. Harding were to be
guests Of Senator and Mrs. Free
linghuysen got out, for the Ere
linghuysens' houseboat, the Vic
toria, is to escort the Pioneer on
her cruise and the Senator and
his charming wife expect to enter
tain a small party Of guests
aboard the craft. Senator and
Mrs. Frelinghuysen and their
children, moreover, are making
the trip to Ormond aboard the
Presidential special. So are the
Secretary of War and Mrs. Weeks
and Senator Fred Hale. who are,
however, not accompanying the
houseboat armada. The Weekses
are stopping off at st. Augustine,
but deponent sayeth not just
what the dashing Senator from
Maine expects to do.
MRS. HARDING and Mrs. Nc
Lean will be the only ladies
aboard the Pioneer. With the
President, the other members of
the party will be Speaker Gillett,
Attorney General Daugherty, AL
bert D. Lasker, chairman of the
Shipping Board; George B. Chris
tan. jr., secretary to the Presi-
dent; Brig. Gen. c. E. Sawyer, the
Presidents physician-and the
man who has done so much to
bring Mrs Harding back to health
and Jess w. Smith, of Wash
ington Court House, Ohio, lifelong
friend Of Attorney General Daugh-
erty.
1t is expected that perhaps two
weeks will be occupied on the
cruise to Miami, with many stops
along the east coast for golf.
Then the latter part Of March the
Harding party Is expected to re-
turn to st. Augustine-which is
about as far as the parlor prophets
have yet pursued them.
THE Vices President and Mrs.
Coolidge are late in perfecting
their arrangements, but I imagine
they will get away before very
long. Their plans were held up
by the illness Of Mrs. Coolidge's
father, to whose bedside she was
called a few weeks ago, you re-
member. He rallied then, but his
condition is rather precarious and
there seems to be little hope for
his recovery.
Secretary Weeks will have a
long vacation, If all goes well,
for after his short holiday in
Florida he proposes to accompany
the Congressional party bound for
Alaska with the intention Of in
specting coast artillery posts en-
route. I have not heard definitely
about Mrs. Weeks, but don't be-
lieve she will accompany him. She
isn't much given to 3unkets. Sec-
rotary DENLY e the Navy is sail.

I do believe the only Wash
ington people I saw there who
were not convalescents were
Senator Walter Edge and his
bride. Atlantic City is his
home, you know, and they ran
down there last weekend and
stayed at the Marlborough.
They had only just returned
from their wedding trip abroad
and / suppose the Senator
wanted to attend TO some mat
ters at his home town after his
long absence.
ATLANTIC CITY seemed like
one big sanitarium really, so
many ailing people about every
where. And the train I went
down on was positively funny, it
was packed with sick people. Some
were stretched out full length in
sthe drawing rooms; some propped
up with pillows in the parlor cars
and others being helped up and
down the aisles.
Mrs. John Joyce Frederick, wife
Of the commercial counselor. of the
British embassy and her small
child were on the train-they are
still in Atlantic City-and Mrs.
Thomas TaIiaferro; also Mrs. C. C.
Champion and her son Carl Cramp-
ton. Carl had been quite sick, and
was recuperating. They have re-
turned home now.
Then at the Traymore I found
Mrs. Frank Hight, who was just
barely walking about after the
grip. She went home before she
was really able to take her daugh-
ter, Barbara, to Annapolis for the
week end. It was Barbara's first
trip to the Naval Academy-she
was going to the hop with a first
classman, too, so, of course, she
was quite excited about it-Mrs.
Hight would not have disappointed
her for worlds. Mrs. Hight may re-
turn again to Atlantic City. Bar
bara is a charming subdeb, pretty
and sweet and judging from her
present popularity will have one
wonderful time when she makes
her debut year or two from now.
She has another cute sister,
Phyllis, coming along too. The

Abernethy says.
There is, however, a great sorrow
in his heart, a sorrow that is shared
by millions of people, but perhaps a
little more keenly by Calvary Church
and congregation. How we shall miss
him! He was such a good man. Who
could help loving him? The histo-
rians may or may not call him great
as they review his official acts, but
we who knew him as a fellow wor-
shipper knew his great qualities. That
seventh pew from the front will al
ways be a sacred spot. How fortu-
nate We are that for two and a half
