This is the picture of a camp,
where we had a well dug in the

The silt was so light that 1t would
not settle when left in vessel, but
remained in suspension. Our cook
declined to drink anything but the
river water himself, claiming that

THE BRAWLEY MID-WINTER FAIR

Inc Press desires to again compliment the pro-
gresslve and courageous business and other cit
zens OF Brawey upon the eminent of their mid
winter fair held last week
1t cannot be forgotten how attempt was made
three years create Imperial county fair of the
ordinary type and how it failed to materiaze. An
cellent and suitable site formally dedicated but
financing it proved too difficult That at time
when business in this valley at the lowest ebb
ever known and it not surprising that there
least temporary failure
Brawley enterprise has succeeded little better by
an appeal to the imagination. 1t has capitalized the
midwinter name That is the significant part of it,
its most valuable factor. An agricultural fair in the
middle of winter is something decidedly unique. 1t
arrests the attention of people everywhere. 1t pro-
claims perhaps nothing else could the peculiar ad
vanages offered by Imperial Valley in the way of agr
cultural production. To be able to show many pro-
ducts taken directly and immediately from the soil in
midwiner is to emphasize climatic conditions that
duce to great profit and serve to give Imperial
Valley worldwide fame.
1t may not be that Brawley has chosen the most
advantageous date for its fair; perhaps later one
would attract to better purpose the attention of the
sorm-bound, ice-locked sections of the country But
Brawey is doing fine work for the entire valley and
every pubcsprited citizen of the county regards with
great satisfaction its worthy efforts.

ROAD ECONOMY

The comfort of good hard roads over which to
travel is obvious to every motorist The economy of
the hard surface is not always manifest, but
port issued by the United States bureau of public roads
states that it costs least per ton mile
to operate car unimproved road than it does
improved A recent experiment proved that
it "a touring travelling 5000 miles bad
roads as much is cost Go travel COO miles
over improved roads. fess-
This takes no account of the advantages gained
by the greater speed of transportation the elimination
of time wasted in slower progress. Undoubtedly such
factors as we'll as those of repairs and depreciation,
would increase the one cent per ton mile to much
greater figure.
The economic moral of this tale is: Hard Roads.
But there is catch in it. Not every hard road is
economical The road built insufficient foundation
or improperly drained is very expensive proposition
Before it paid for it is out The sure thing
is that the traffic of the future will be heavier than
anything the present anticipate. Sound road
financing builds deep road, a heavy road, hard
road wide road dry road and smooth road

appreciated greatly. There are quite
a few students who can write stories

every one is capable of writing news.
