COMM TTEE TO
SEEK FEDERAL
LOAN RE-ENTRY

\ committee has been formed by
the farm bureau to work on the
proposition of the rc-entry of the
Federal Land Bank in the valley.
Interest of ; per cent is charged by
the bank with an amortization
charge of l per cent which retires
the debt at the end of 33 years. The
benefit to the valley of such aid
is obvious, the committee states.
Members of the committee are:
J. II. Edgar representing the AS
sociated Chambers of Commerce; ;
Il. p. Moore, representing the
Southern Sierras; Charles Childers,
representing the Imperial Irrigation
district; r. y. Watson, the board of
trade; Ben Hulse, the board of
supervisors; and s. f. Robinson and
S. h. Foulds for the farm bureau.
The only action decided upon as
vet was the decision to ask the
banking interests to appoint a rep
resentative. The work will neces-
sarily be slow but the members of
the committee hope to secure action.

NEW YORK, April 9. UP)--
Sizing up the 16 major league teams
a week before the opening of the
1929 baseball season we expect no
radical rcversals from last year s
form in the two pcnnant races be
ginning next Tuesday.
The New York Yankees ana
Philadelphia Athletics may have
slipped a triflc, yet that remains to
be. seen, for training camp evidence
sometimes proves misleading.
The New York Giants and Chi
cago Cubs are favorites in the Na-
tional League race, with the St.
Louis Cardinals possibly figuring
Importantly in a close race.
The American League teams in
q nutshell follow:
Same old tough team
To beat. Possibly improved pitching
with Pcnnock back. Catching Will
be weak until Bengough returns.
Spirit of club good.
Athletics-No better than last
year, with a patcled-up inficld and
a crippled pitching staff. Inferior
ity complex Of a : when they play
the Yankees turned tide G race
last year and Philadelphia can hope
for no better than second pace un-
less it does hetter than 6 ont of -
against the Yanks this season.
Washington-A dangerous club
under Walter Johnson s leadership.
Myer at third and Buege at short
stop have strengthened infield.
Pitching good.
Browns-Failure of a rookie
third baSeman. to make good hasn't
frightened Brown s prospects. Gray
and Crowder win have to repeat
last years records to keep Browns
up there.
Detroit-A good team but can
