DROVIDING relief for residents of the
/ Bard district is something which
should merit the approval of all IN I'M
perial Valley. even though there are
MANY here who do not know lust what
and where Bard is.
Bard is something like step-ehild
to the valley proper. Located in the
eastern end of the county, 1t is geograph-
ically not a part Of Imperial Valley as It
is usually described, though 1t Is very
important part of the county, especially
when there is a political campaign on.
At such times Bard and the smaller
settlements adjacent thereto, are given
considerable attention by the politicians
Aside from such times, it Is we'll nigh
forgotten.
Its proximity to Yuma has never in
duced the people of Bard TO forget that
they are Californians. They may use
Yuma time and trade considerably in the
Arizona city, but this is because 1t Is
easier for them to do so than to use Cali
fornia time and patronize the distant
cities in the valley proper.
Bard has been hard hit both agricul-
turally and economically. Its people have
been hard workers and it is not any great
fault of theirs that they find themselves
in desperate circumstances. II We III
the valley proper have been feeling
pinch, the people of Bard have felt II Tor
long time.
Suffering in that community, until val
ley agencies stepped in to relieve II, was
considerable 1t is not all alleviated yet
but the means for doing so have been
provided American youngsters, ana
their parents have been mighty hungry
there in past months, due primarily to
their remoteness from the rest OF US.
A number of valley agencies have dl-
rected their attentions 10 Bard and 1t IS
quite certain that from now on the people
there will be given the help which they
need and deserve.
While we refer here principally to
Bard, what has ben said applies as Well
to the other communities along the Colo
rado river. They are a part OF US and 1t
is good to see the valley practlclng the
old uotation-"Charity begins at home

WASHINGTON. Jan. ll.-Albert
Cabell Ritchie, governor OF Mary
land and active aspirant for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton, is in many ways an unique
politician.
Handsome, a bon vivant and
scion of an old Richmond family,
Ritchie presents a striking con-
trast to the bulk of those dour'
pompous men who have come to be
considered almost the type oil
American politician.
Ritchie is a first cousin OF James
Branch Cabell noted novelist and
poet. His mother, Cabells aunt,
was the belle of Richmond in her
youth. noted for her beauty and
her wit. For more than 10 years
she was her sons hostess in the
state house at Annapolis until she
died a year ago. If the remotely
possible should happen and Ritchie
became president, it might present
on intriguing situation TO have a
bachelor in the White House.
Ritchie became governor in 1920
by exactly 40 votes. 1t is said he
accepted the Democratic nomina-
ton in the Harding year be-
cause no one else thought it worth
trying, and he was willing to take
a chance. He took the chance ana
won, and has been reelected

three times. His opponents call
him King Albert" but just the
same his ajorities have Increased
each election -, wa5 the first
governor of Maryland to be re-
elected
While an aristocrat by breeding,
he personally is highly democratic
and likes nothing better than q
"gabfest' with old friends. whether
they be politicians or newspaper
men. These frequently take place
in the executive mansion. At 10
cal fairs throughout Maryland he
meets nnumerable people vino
want to shake his hand, and those
who know him marvel at the
names and faces he remembers
without prompting.
This prime requisite for the sue
cessful politician makes up for his
lack of color as a public speaker.
That handicap however, may
prove his undoing in the national
arena. where the handshake is not
often feasible.

ENGINEER HAS
STATISTICS ON
BROADWAY WORK

Figures showing that Broadway
property owners protesting pro-
posed paving and lighting improve
ments on that street are in the
minority were prepared today by
Phil Knights, city engineer.
The figures are based on total
area of the district coming under
proposed improvements. The dis
trict contains a total area OF
1925 sos square feet. OF this, the
total area protested is 636.192, or
1913 per cent, while the area not
protested represents 999,506, or
60.87 per cent. These are the only
figures having a direct bearing on
the forthcoming decision of the
city council in favor of or against
the improvements.
Other figures prepared by the
city engineer, however, show in
teresting facts relative to protests
received.
The total area which petitioncd
for the improvements represents
age of ALA of the total area, while
the unexpressed area totals $780,
653 square feet, or 1878 per cent.
The area petitioned and the area
lnexpressed are taken as favoring
improvements, since property hold
ers who did not express themselves
entered no protests.
In the district west OF Eighth
street. affected by paving and
lighting. the total area is 578,5l7
square feet. Protests represent an
area of l58,676 square feet, OF
27.42 per cent. The area unpro-
tested is 4l9, Sal, or 1887 per cent
The district east OF Eighth street
affected by lights only has a total
area of l.O47l l81. Protests were re-
ceived from an area Of 4175lt
square feet. or 45.60 per cent. anc
the unprotesting area Is 544C
