AIR CIRCUS IS
DEFERRED UNTIL
NEXT SUNDAY

Owing to the unusually high wind
prevailing yesterday, the air circus,
to have been at the Imperial Com-
~ Airport, was postponed until next
Sunday. The decision to postpon"
the event was made by the Junior
chamber Of commerce, which body
is sponsoring the circus, because Of
the danger involved by amateurs
making parachute jumps in such n
strong wind.
, NJ. c. Cox, manager of the air
circus, states that the show next
Sunday will include all the stunt
flying and jumping advertised and
that the amateur parachute jumps
will be held at that time. Two I'm
perial Valley girls are to jump on
that day, and Cox r,ates that there
will be time for one more, so any
girl interested is urged to get her
application in early. The jumpers
will be introduced to the public
next Saturday night at an air circus
ball to be held at the Red Wing
ballroom in Brawley.
Another event of Saturday night
will be night parachute jump near

FARM LOAN BANK
ENGINEERS WILL
SURVEY VALLEY
Bank President Asks Per-
tinent Questions About
Conditions Here.

Stating that one of the Dank 8
engineers will be in the valley in
few davs with representatives from
the tate university, w. D. Ellis,
president of the Federal Land Bank
of Berkeley, has written Scott b.
Foulds, secretary of the Imperial
County Farm Bureau ON the subject
Of the bank re-entering the valley
for the purpose of making loans.
The letter is in reply to Il com
municaton from Foulds, and ellis
declares that he has written the
Farm Loan Board at Washington,
suggesting that the question Of
making loans in Imperial Valley be
reopened for, since the bank with
drew largely at the suggestion OF
the federal board, it was thought
that the matter should be rpopened
only with the board 5 approval.
Mr. Ellis writes that among the
things which have to be considered
are:
First: VIII the all-American
canal be constructed and, if so,
what will be fhe coz Of the con
struetion that will have to BE- borne
Tby the land served by the canal9
,"'rSecond: What will the drainasc
: situation be if the all-Ameri ja1
canal is constructed, together with
one or more high line canals that
will bring in new land:
"Third: What would be the eff
feet on present lands IN cultivation
| if a considerable acreage of new
land is brought into cult ivation}
:, '<Fourth: What about drainage
>conditions2 We understand that
the present drainage effects are not
meeting with very much success
Fifth: In view Of the fact that
our loans are made for 20 and &c
year terms and that the alIAmeri
can canal may be constructed dur
ing the life of our loans and in
creased appropriations may be
necessary for drainage purposes
what value can be intelligently
placed upon the land for loan pur
| poses at this time
Ellis recalls that there is already
Il bonded debt on account Of IL,
Imperial Irrigation distrlc, au3 thai
if the all-Amcrican canal ls con
structed, there viii be Il constrpc
tion charge against tie land.
The bank head closes, howe"or,
with the statement that, while he
does not see that conditions have
changed enough to justify the bank
in changing it's policy with regard
to loans in the valley, at the same
time the entire tOJ~et is beng
