LECTURER WHO
MADE CHARGES
HERE TOMORROW

f. +. Coulter, state lecturer and
organizer from the state law en-
forcement league will speak in El
Centre ut the First Presbyterian
church, Wednesday evening at 7:30
November 10.
The state law enforcement league
has been on the border investigat
ing the conditions here for the past
two months and is now working to-
ward the cleaning up certain con
ditions that are affecting the whole
state. Mr.. Coulter will give some
of the facts found in the investiga-
tion as we'll as the conditions
throughout the state. 1t will be his
intention to reveal the conditions
the traffic in vice which is carried
on through the border.
Ell Centre is not so bad as he
inadvertently painted it, is the
! statement of Mr.. Coulter makes re-
garding the remarks he used at
Brawley last Wednesday night
when he was reported to have de
clared there were seven houses il
| Ell Centre that were running wide
open. He asks that this be correct
cd.
''As | read the statement in the
| paper, the field secretary of the
state law enforcement league states,
81 realized how unfair and mis-
leading it was to Ell Centre, as |
planned to show that this liquor,
vice and gambling are being car
ried on in most of these border
towns, and, indeed, Ell Centre is not
leading in these vices.
Investigation has been carried
ON in these southern counties, the
secretary goes on to say, and the
conditions have been reported to
the treasury department at Wash
ington, and now it was up to the
American people to act.
In an address in the Brawlev
Methodist Church Coulter announc-
ed that there were startling con
ditions in the liquor, drug and
white slave conditions III Southern
California, ;,nd further ga clean
up of the county cesspool of crime
will mean dollars and cents to the
business of Imperial Valley, and
families will want to move to this
productive land if they know that
the moral atmosphere is of the high |
est -
A number of citizens have de- |
clared such statements are dnlust |
and damaging to El Centre, and on !
being questioned Chief of Police /
Harry Barker said the town spoke
for itself.
'Mr. Coulter has made a state |
ment and now retracts it, said the
chief of police, and declared that |
there was nothing further to dis
cuSS.

CONSERV
CLUB PLANS FOR
MORE PUBLICITY
Committee of Three Is
Named to Arrange
Plans

For nearly two hours and hal.
last night the American Conserva
tion club discussed the best methot
CT getting publicity before the pco
pie of Imperial Valley, publicity
that will adequately place before
the land owners and voters the OBJ
iects of the club, and to continue
that publicity until the need of il
was no longer apparent. Finally
Sam Robinson, of Holtville, as
chairman, Attorney w. f. Ginder
of Calexico and A. f. Kellogg, of
FL Centro, were appointed a COM
mittee to formulate plans to be pre-
sented to the next meeting of the
board.
There was a very good attendance
and the names of 81 new paidup
members were handed ffg and rep
resentativcs from various districts $
reported altogether, another 800 as
members who had promised their
support, there being actually 316
members at present. All the mem
bers present, about 80, had some
thing to contribute to the sugges-
tons as-to publicity, and it was de-
eided that no money be expended
for that purpose unless the expen-
diturc was actually covered by cash
i'll the bank.
That it was essential to have the
provision for the all-American ca
nal in the Swing ohnson bill was
the unanimous opinion of the meet
ing, no matter at what cost, as it
was an integral part of the bill
now before congress. In the cam
paign of publicity it will be the
main object to show the people how
The expenditure will be met in 20
years by the sale of water power,
basing the figures on the reports
IF the Salt River project, and point
ng out that those who found the
would ultimately receive
dividends on the profits from the
sale of power.
One of the means of publicity to
,e utilized is the moving pictures of
he Boulder canyon dam site, shown
lere when Phil d. Swing last visit
ID Imperial Valley, and an endea-
yor will be made to have those
pictures shown in every school,
arm center and ats every public
meeting in the Imperial Valley.

we want those who take the cheerful

the best Of things and, as the Scot
says, "Whustle DER the lave o. It."
Why was hope implanted In the hu-

with all our might to make that belief
come true in fact? AS eyes were made

and to make progress is not that
which is-a fortune made, an ambi

that which may be. A man In business

In other words. to collect SUFFICIENT

Real PI...ur. No. Harmful.

The practice of consistent thrift
does not mean the elimination Of all
pleasure. This would indeed be 4
dreary world If II were necessary to
forego all pleasure in order to 60
ahead. However, to those. who have
their own best interests at heart there
can lie no genuine pleasure in any
practices that are harmful.
It also is to be borne in mid that
there Is pleasure in performing our
daily duties. In the knowledge that we
are doing our share Of the worlds
work, that We are filing our own
place In the plans Of destiny.
To make progress. to get ahead In
the world is perhaps the greatest
pleasure to those who are truly
thrifty. But even the frivolities Of
life bring pleasure to those who are
fond Of them, although In many In
stances such pleasures will be paid
for in future unhappiness
A study Of pleasure should bring
rs to the conclusion that real pleasure
Is that which brings no harmful effect
or reaction.-Thrift Magazine.
