United States Golf Association for
two. it has been my experience TO
come il contact with certain condi-
tons which exist in every club in
Southern California. The spirit of
loyalty which was displayed at the
Barbara Worth country club during
its recent invitation golf tourna-
ment. impressed me very favorably.
The tournament committee con-
sisting of Jack Strobel as chairman,
Henry "Pinky' Loud. DR.. J. D. Keye,
and j. d. Adams, spent every min
ute of their time, and considerable
money, in an effort to put over
this tournament, and in my opinion,
they succeeded where I have known
others TO fall down.
These gentlemen were very ably
assisted by volunteers. I might say
that Howard Jones. Barney Burke,
Tom Harris, Jerry Asher, Wayne
and many others did
noble work in entertaining the Wis
itors. and their efforts did not go
by the boards. The Southern Cali

Among. the short lived jobs I had during summer vacations of my boyhood was "weeding sugar. beets." The rows were long, the weeds were many, and the sun was hot - so I was not sorry when my employment ended after two or three days of work.
 When the common red beet IS cooked, we may notice a sweet flavor. Red beets contain small amount of sugar, but not enough to give them a place in the sugar industry.
 Almost two centuries ago, d clever German scientist learned to take sugar from white beets. The amount of sugar he obtained was small, but it was enough to show the world the deed could be done.
 By careful crossing of beets, the average sugar content has been increased from 5 per cent to l6 per cent.
 Sugar is taken from the thick sugar-beet roots. After being hauled to the sugar-beet factory . the roots are cut int oshreds by large slicing machines. The shreds are dumped into huge containers which, on the average, hold about

Looking over the place, he leased a suite which included pri- vate ballroom. a drawing room and any number of bedrooms. Yet he used the quarters only 8 couple of times year, when he came to New York for directors meetings. The early days of che famous old place are colorfufl with tales of bonanza kings in from the west on spending spurts There was, for instance, the picturesque Henry Tabor, whose daughter became | known as "Silver Dollar" Tabor be- cause her daddy had been so lucky at hitting "pay dirt"

GREET THE GOVERNOR

e. Centric, and in fact much of Imperial
Il Valley, will be host tomorrow to his
excellency, James Rolph Jr., governor of
California, who has accepted an invita-
ton to be present at the watermelon
fiesta to be given in city park.
1t is an honor of which this community
may be proud, to have the chief eXecu-
tive of California as our guest. Some
of us may not agree with policies of the
governor, and we may differ with him
on many subjects. Nevertheless he is
the chief executive of our state and as
such all will be glad to do him honor.
The governor has been the guest of the
valley before and at that time showed a
genuine interest in us and our affairs.
He made many friends on that occasion
and there is no doubt he will add to them
tomorrow night.
Those who are sponsoring the water
melon fiesta, urge a large attendance by
people from all parts of Imperial Valley.
There will be plenty of the fruit which
is Imperial Valleys favorite at this time
of the year and it is not often one can
have the double enjoyment of eating wat
ermelon and listening to the governor
of California.
We hope Governor Rolph will be given
a real Imperial Valley welcome, and we
feel sure he will be. Gracious, cordial
and affable himself, he thoroughly en-
joys such gatherings as tomorrow nights
promises to be, and all of us should do
our part to make it as enjoyable as pos
sible for him.

was part of a private residence.
Only the wealthy men of the cities and
towns could afford horses, and when one
was invited to home which contained
a stable as part of its equipment, one did
not grumble at the stable odors. Rather
one shifted respectfully and inwardly
wished that it were possible to have
stable attached to ones own domicile.
