s.r-HE s0nTHWEST,S GREENEST SPOT'

Imperial Valley has new name, brought about by
d peculiar combination of unforeseen circumstances.
No LONGER are we known oaly as the finland desert
garden" or 'the reclaimed desert. Instead, we are
being much heralded far and wide as 1.-The only green
spot in the southewest
We feel nothing but concern and sympathy
the unusual drought that exists at present all over
California and in the southern part in particular but
we can not fail to impress upon folks here at home
and upon the world IN general our exceedingly Tor
tunate position at this time.
Go where you viii in the southwest-up into the
high mountains where snow should lie thick at this
of the year, down to the lower lands where
rushing tumbling rivers usually making glad the
heart of the farmers and citrus grower during March
Everywhere the condition eXists-the same ter
rble devastating dryness that has brought loss OF
untold millions to cattle and land tillers alike
Yet here in Imperial Valley pursue the even
tenor of ways undisturbed by the Demon Drought
Our vast stretches of alfalfa greener nor
lovely than they right now. Fertile fields
are producing hay and various other cattle foods that
will prove veritable salvation for cattle owners IN
other sections where stock will have to depend upon
Imperial Valley products for sustenance throughout
the coming season.
We are suddenly thrust into the limelight by
son of unusual and peculiar advantages right at
this time Due the fact that desert country,
we do not depend in any upon seasonal rains
for the growing of crops We have worked out
another system whereby we draw our water, as we
need it. from the mighty, turbulent Colorado river
which, while raging monster IN its might, has been
tanned reclaim Imperial Valley into of the rich
est sections of country the world has ever known.
Tourists from eastern points remark upon the
sharp contrast between this and other sections of the
southwest. One who has never visited Imperial Val
lev usually forms mental picture of barren desert
wastes with here and there reclaimed oasis of green.
But to come into this beautiful valley and see all
sides cattle standing kneedeep in fragrant alfalfa,
lettuce fields stretching their brilliant color as far
the eye can reach and vast of canaloupe plants
already far advanced in growth gives the visitor moth
ing short of genuine shock Particularly so, when
every other section lies parched and brown, waiting
for water and plainly showing the terrific results of
the long dry
So we say, have much to be grateful for in our
r,oxx- n
west for it is literally true and will doubt attract
MANY worth while homeseekers to midst who will
be quick to appreciate the advantages of living in
community where is not dependent upon seasonal
rainfall for prosperity

wherever and whenever the flight commander con-
sders it advisable 1t is possible that the trip will be
made without encounterng actual peril On the other
hand the whole trip is fraught with potential perils
which may have to be faced at any time. Goodness
and skill and courage are required of the men making
the flight ~
great deal, too, depends their ability to keep

INSURANCE FOR VETERANS

In proposing insurance for veterans OF the
World War, instead of outright bonus Congress is
getting back to the original proposal made at the close
of the war, though varying the method somewhat 1t
is also hitting upon compromise which may come
somewhere near satisfying both sides of the long con-
troversy among the service and among the public.
The main feature of the present plan Is an en-
downent insurance policy, running over long period
of years and maturing at average benefclarys age
of around go years. The amount of the policy would
vary with the length of service The policies may be
taken in ordinary insurance companies instead of
being underwrtten by the government itself with the
government merely paying the premiums. The total
cost of such plan is estimated at S2,00C,00OOO0 or
S3O00000,000, with expense to the government OF
perhaps $80,000,000 year.
This cost obviously would not be prohbitive and
could hardly be considered serious burden national
prosperity The public has not yet had opportunity
TO express itself on the matter General approval
however, could be taken for granted, If there
surance that this would end the bonus campaign and
forestall such pensoning of veterans has followed
all our previous wars.
Those naval oil wells at least set good industrial
example by going right producing while their
is being adjusted.
And now let us hope that bygones will remain by
gonos and nobody will start probing Secretary Denbys
salary oi 81 month major Of marines.

bear track still less the creature in

into fame as the place for a real ad-
venture in the saddle.
Mr. William X Vanderbilts steam
yacht Ara has just docked at Miami,
Fla, after a phenomenal trip which
practically included the waters of the
seven seas in the poetical term and the
great oceans and the main bodies of
water in all the continents, and this in
less than three months. Mr.. Wander
bilt. who is commodore Of the Staten
Island Yacht Club, made his trip in
company with j. Douglas. ]. p. Grier,
Whitney Warren, the eminent architect,
and Delano Leland, all of whom, besides
having other life avocations are in
tensely interested in deep-sea problems
and entered heartily into the scientific
aspect of the tour. The Ara sailed di-
rectly from Marseille and landed in
New York, loug unbroken voyage for
small vessel, but accomplished with
on a mishap. She had previously
toEched all the principal ports of Eu-
rope, had sailed the Mediterranean
Red Sea and thence into the waters of
the Far East. Mr.. Vanderbilt and his
party sailed from Newport the first
week of August and returned almost
80 days later to the hour. The COM
modore will keep the Ara in commits
sion all Winter about Miami, with only
short cruises about the Antilles. He will
devote his time to arranging his notes
and his schedules for his report to the
New York Academy OF Science, which
had an extensive interest in the trip
and which will publish the findings.
Mrs. Seth Barton French, who is

mountain overlooking the spa. The
pastor of this tiny congregation is
Rev. Richard Washington, a lineal
descendant of Lawrence Washington,
younger brother of John, the co-im-

French was an intimate friend of
