Calf. Ice Cream
Superior Product

During recent visit to the Of
flee of G. II. Hecke, director state
department Of agriculture, Robert j.
Dryden Of Chicago, formerly an ice
cream manufacturer in California
expressed his opinion Of the Cali
fornia Ice Cream Manufacturers
product in the following statement:
California manufactures over
100000 gallons Of ice cream an
nually. This is equal to the entire
output of the seven other western
states. After having visited most
of the ice cream plants in these
states it is very noticeable to see
how far California is advanced over
the other western states in impfov-
ed methods of manufacture and
clean, sanitary conditions. II is
my opinion that the California state
dairy law, together with its en-
forcement, is largely responsible for
this condition.
"The consumption of ice cream
per capita is greater in California
than in any other western state and
appears TO be due largely to the
high quality Of the ice cream manu-

who explains the situation in the
following letter:
FL Centro, California
August s, 1924. &
San Diego Union, tf8 %
San Diego, California.
Gentlemen: 8S
In your issue of August 5, 1924.
there appears an article reported
to have ibeen written by #. il
Worthington of Calexico. Appar-
emily on the face of it this article
pnrports to be a statement in behalf
of the ex.service men of Imperial
County. AS commander of the
Inter-Post Council, we. desire to
form the Union that the author of
TINS article in no way represents the
lnter-POst Council of the American
Legion in Imperial County, and has
never been authorized to make any
statement on behalf of ex-service
men of Imperial County. The Inter
Post Council of Imperial County
has always been and still is solidly
behind the Swing-J ohnson bill in
GUIDING the All-American Canal fea-
ture. The State Department Of the
American Legion, has on three diff
ferent occasions endorsed the Swing
johnson Legislation, and the All
American Canal feature of this bill.
Favors Bill
The National Convention of the
Legion held in San Fran
cisco in 1923, strongly endorsed the

canal legislation and instructed the
National Legislative Committee in
Washington, ID. c., TO use every
legitimate means TO aid in the pass
ing of the legislation.
The statements made by Mr.. 7. J..
Worthington IN the article above re-
ferred to are not substantiated in
any respect by the facts. In 1908
all of the lands on the so-called East
side Mesa were withdrawn from
entry under the Reclamation Act and
there are no entries on that land
and under the existing law there can
be no entries made upon this East
side Mesa land.
The records of the Reclamation
Service and the Department of the
Interior show that there have been
upwards of 100000 ex-service men
application for lands since
their discharge from the army in
1919. or this number 5000 appli-
cants have been taken care of. The
Eeastside Mesa lands in ImperiaI
valley are now Withdrawn from
gdNernment land which can bet serV-
ed by dam on the Colorado River
and under the very favorable terms
OF the Reclamation Act this land
viii be available for settlement Nv
eX-serVice men as soon as sufficient
facilities are available to bring
water from the Colorado River to
said lands.
Act Explained
The Reclamation Act provides
that the exservice men pay down
five percent of the construction cost
at the time the land is declared
available for him by the Secretary
Of the Interior, then for five years
