4 SPLENDID PROJECT

With the enforcement OF the antl-anen lana law
which will mean that many Imperial Valley acres,
hitherto under cultivation, will lie idle unless new
settlers are brought in to replace the Andus and Jap
anese the colonization plan recently launched by the
Brawley Chamber of Commerce, IN connection with
other civic organizations deserves the support of every
land owner in the valley
Briefly, the plan is for an association of valley
business men, to obtain options on minimum OF
25 600 acres And this has been done, arrangements
have been made with responsible and reputable col
onzation agency in the midwest, to induce expert
enced farmers having sufficient capital to make lnl
tal payments and carry operations, to come to In
peria Valley and take UP the land on which options
have been obtained.
This plan has worked out exceedingly we'll IN other
parts Of the country and there IS no reason why 1t
should do here. 1t has been given the most de-
tailed investigation before being stamped with the ap-
proval of the valleys leading business men, who see in
it the most practical way to obtain desirable class
of settlers for this community.
Experienced farmers, who will operate their own
farms will always be welcomed in the valley and any
quantity of them will be considered blessings on par
with the sunshine and mild climate.
Valley land owners are urged tc cooperate III the
the movement by accepting options much Of their
land as they spare These options must all be in
by Thursday night and is the time for action. IT
the committee seeking options calls, give them your
cooperation and thereby do your part in building up
the prosperity OF Imperial Valley Of your neighbor
and Of yourself.

A CHECK TO CASH

A farmer and lawyer, both young men, learn
ed something of the value of money recently.
The farmer had sold large piece Of his inherited
farm for $48,000 He to the city hunted up the
attorney-a college friend-and asked to be identified
at some bank for the purpose of ceshing check. The
lawyer glad to be of service at his bank the
teller was affable until he the size of the check.
Then he took the attorney aside and told him the bank
didn't carry enough cash hand day by day to enable
it to cash such check
They proceeded to another bank, a larger one;
but there too nothing could be done about cashing the
check. They tried to persuade the young farmer to
deposit his money and to take his time deciding what
he wished to do with it. He knew what he wanted to
do; he wanted to go broker with $48,OOG in cash
and buy securities. And since by this time it get
ting late he going to take the cash to his lawyer
friends office and keep it over night in little wall
safe there.
About that time the lawyer friend began to get

full but as repository for $4,000 he refused to re-
commend it.
In the end the young had discovered the
best way to treat such OF money 1t was depos-
tied in a reputable bank where it drew interest and
was perfectly secure until its had time to in
vestgate and invest properly, after seeking sound ad
vice on the subject If any bank had been so foolish
as to cash that check Immediately upon presentation,
the money might have been lost stolen spent for
worthless stocks.

THE OIL PROBE

1t is just as we'll that the Senate committee inves
tigatng the public oil scandal has suspended its abors
for little while. Perhaps Washington in general, as
well as the inqusitors, needs rest.
There have been signs OF hysteria in the capital
ately-aso in New York and other cities. And hys
terra will not do much good.
What is needed is a clear calm exposure of what
ever has been DONE Intentionally, and whatever bad
conditions now exist with regard not only to the naval
oil lands but other parts of the public domain. And
when the primary task is completed if there any
other matters that official Washington ought to get
out of system or that ought to be brought to the at
tenton of Congress the Executive Department. the
sooner the better long the job is done in order
~ way
Eliminating corruption or inefficiency in public
life is the work Of political surgeon, and surgical
work is not done we'll III atmosphere Of political
hysteria and clamor. certain amount Of agitation
justfabe perhaps necessary in the early stages
of the inquiry. Now it is question of driving force,
intelligence and skill to finish the task as 1t ought to
be finished.
The essential thing is to make complete job-to
the thing through. come what may. Covering up
scandal DO neitho parties individuals any last

cleansing would be penalized in the coming cleo

BETTER CLOTHES FOR MEN

There is talk Of a 'dress up week" Not for
women of course they need any urging to dress
up. The present reform movement is aimed at the
men, who have beer growing lamentaby lax in
torial matters.
The retail clothiels of New England seem to have
started The thing, and there is disposition to take il
up all over the country. There may be d huge
publicity drive calling attention 10 all the advantages
TO be derived from looking ones best.
The most mveteratc deyotee Of comfortable old
clothes may admit that there is q good basis for all
this sort Of propaganda. Men, only ttle less than
women do feel better physically, mentally and moral
Ia, and make a better impression generally, and
haps set ahead better in nearly every way when they
arc sell dressed.

COME APART
DOWNTOWN

COME APART
 AND REST AWHILE" Said the Great Physician to his disciples of old, but in this work a-day world we forget this injunc- ton with such regularity that we rarely, if ever, know what real rest and relaxation is. A lot of times we think we are relaxing, when 1t Is really only surface deep. If we will just stop to investigate bit we will find that our minds are worried, that we are fearful, tense, adversely expectant and that the deep tissues, including heart, lungs, stomach muscles and muscles that control arteries, veins and intes- tinal tract are in a spastic, irri- tated, excited or other abnormal condition.
 This is due to the age of hurry, worry, competive combat and struggle for a place in which we allow ourselves to be engulfed, so that we do not live naturally, think right or even breathe freely. Almost every meal we eat one or more un- wholesome foods and many meals are entirely unwholesome; we eat between meals of denaturized pastries and candies, drink unwhole- some beverages, wear shoes that throw the splendid architecture of our bodies into discord and wear tight and unnatural clothing. dChirapractic Is not an entire cure all of wrong living, but it does help to break down contractions and to free occluded nerve impulses and acts as a crutch to enable a race of crippled humanity to take a few steps from the mire of degeneracy and decay toward our dream of Npain-free bodies and physical per- lection.
 Ill health is the most expensive thing in the world, but the charges of a chiropractor are very reason able, indeed.

The Doliies' Bedtime Story
 Little Gray Flanael Mouse

!. Once upon a time, near dollies. there was gray fiahael mouse with . i0ag. gray flannel tail and two bright. shoe-button eyes, He was . handsome mouse! He had been very carefully brought up by his mother, who lived in fine large toyshop, with little gray flannel mouse. before he was sold. "My. dear child." she used to tell him, some day you will be bought for a little boy or girl to. play with. You are such a handsome mouse! Y she would sigh. "When this happens, remember that I have told you. again and again, to- keep away from the common house mice which, you will find in your new home. Do not play with them, and do not got out at all at night: that will keep you out of trouble" The little gray flannel mouse promised, but to tell the truth. he was only listening with one ear. for his mind was full of the good times he would have when he was sold and taken away from the toyshop. which he secretly thought very dull place.
 We'll. the days went by. and sure enough, one day there came into the store a little girl with her mother, and she spied the gray flannel mouse and begged her mother to buy it. That very afternoon sthe little mouse found himself in his new home, beautiful, sunny playroona. where the fresh breezes from the sea blew ail day long For a while he was very happy. but soon he grew discoaseated.

GOOD ROADS PAY DIVIDENDS

A clever statistician has estimat-
ed that the highways Of oregon, rep
resenting total state investment
of about $70,O0O,000, besides coun-
ty roads that feed and serve them,
actually return the state a fair in
terest on $500, 100000. This return
comes In the way Of tourist revenue,
that without the system Of state
roads would not reach the state In
vestments that pay profit on four
times their normal capital stock
ought to be safe anywhere. A good
roads policy that is beyond reach OF
the stampeder makes such returns
possible.
Oregon in the past has built paved
roads OF quality comparable to
city streets BY recognizing the adj
vantage and necessity OF shock abb
sorbing qualities in the pavement, 1t
has not only held down first costs
but has reduced maintenance cost to
q minimum. This latter item has
wrecked many a good roads pro-
gram due to the useless drain it en-
tails on tax funds.
