splendid opportunities exist in the

an investment standpoint than are
found In any other section. There
is no disputing the fact that hand
some profits are being realized by
citrus growers, as well as vegetable
and truck raiSers in the section.
From my understanding. there Is a
good supply Of water. and by irri-
CATION projects, and concrete lining
OF all major feed bitches. the sup

saving Of water % lost through
seepage will be effected.

 Telephone System
 A particular system of these ves- sells is the telephone system which has been fitted. In addition to the ordinary intercommunication system usually fitted for use of the ships personnel, every first class cabin is arranged with a telephone plug. Any passenger may speak to his friends in any part of the ship, and also order anything to be brought to him without the steward having to answer the bell first to find what is required. Another interesting fea- ture of this system is that shore connections are provided. and as the vessels call at so many different ports during their run it's use is very evident.
