When Capital approaches you for'
Investment it belooves you to take
stock of your surroundings. If you
have been pursuing the even tenor
of your way, hoping that fortune
will smile on you and yours IN
the immediate future, and see Capt.
tai making overtures of good will
and bearing gifts, pry your eyelids
open rs far as you can get them for
it may happen that something is
about to happen that you have not
taken cognizalne of. For Capital
hardly ever approaches you unless
Opportunity is very adjacent.
There is money, galore lying in
the eastern banks at the present
moment just aching to find suit
able investment somewhere, prefer
ably under the stars and stripes, but
somewhere, anywhere that opportun-
itv is found. Capital sometimes
makes Opportunity, and is always
on the lookout for location. Many
a man has been dreaming on the
ground in which Capital discerns
some Opportunity, and the man has
to move his habitat because he was
not aware of .Opportunity's proxim-
ity.
Such time is on us now, right
here in Imperial Valley. Capital
wants to lend us money now, to
build our homes at small interest,
to help us in our business. Why?
We were here before, and we always
wanted money, and heaven knows
we need nice homes throughout the

DRASTIC CHARGES
MADE AGAINST
THEArER AGENCY
Charge Offer Made to
Flood Stage With La
Toilette Gags
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The
charge that theatrical publicity in
Guiding "eracks and gags on The
vaudeville stage had been ofler-
ed for sale to the "a Toilette forces
for $4,000 by prominent theatri-
cal agency was laid before the SEN
ate committee investigating cam
paign funds today.
ellison Gardner, Washington news
papermaD and supporter of La Fol
lette, testified a representative OF
the McCu.cheon Gurston syndicate.
a subsidiary of the Shubert Thea
trical Company, bad told him his
company was prepared to 'sell po-
litical publicity and would rather
give it to La Toilette than 10 the
two old parties. -
Gardner said that he was told
that for $4,000 the syndicate
would have "cracks and gags
favorable to La Toilette in vaude
Vile acts, would put on various
"s.unts'' and would give the In
dependent candidate publicity in
the movies.
Gardner told the committee he
had refused and suggested the syn
dicate try the Republican, commit
tee.
Other Testimony
Other testimony brought out al

Money wants to be safe. Money

Half Valley Yet Waste Land
Half of the valley is waste land
as vet, and the whole of it has suf-
fered from the menace of the mighty
Colorado, the riotous river that can
carry the bounty of millions or the
terror of inundation into the heart
of every farmer whose lands lie be-
low the lip of the seas edge. Here
where but generation ago the
cactus and the horned toad held
swav are thousands and thousands
of acres of cultivated lands upon
which hundreds of millions have
been spent in cultivation, which
have returned yet more hundreds or
millions in fruits of the soil, which
have been banked and guarded by
millions spent by the government, by
the valley, and by the Southern Pa
cific. In the past there has been no
sound guarantee of protection OF the
capital sunk in the many ana di-
vcrsified enterprises, and Capital
