GET IN LINE FOR I-R

Three cheers for Rolphonian democ-
racyl Or should it be Rolphonian aris-
tocracy?
You are entitled to consider yourself
member of it, whichever it is, if you
are ridig around in an automobile bear
ing the 1-R series of license plates.
In country (and state) where all are
presumed to be free and equal, you may
consider yourself little better than
others, providing you can sport the Tx
tag.
The 1-R series made peculiar appeal
to Governor Rolph. Generous man that
he is, nothing could be more natural
than that his friends should bask in the
aura which surrounds his excellency.
So 100 of the 1-R plates were ordered
and reserved for the governors friends.
That was some time ago, when the gov
ernor believed he had only 100 close
friends. But there is nothing like kiss
ing babies, assisting at stage marriages,
Judging beauty contests and leading pa
rades to increase the number Of ones
friends. The ante had to be raised to
500.
But friendships multiply rapidly. The
thing grows from being friend OF the
governor" to being "a friend of friend
of the governors" and by now the term
friend" like the ciphers on large num-
ber can be extended indefinitely.
Right now the 1-R plates have been
extended to 1000. This is not to be con-
sidered criticism of the condition. In
reality it is advertising it. 1t is easy to
visualize the possibilities All of us can
pass the word that we are friend OF
a friend and ultimately the 100000
odd cars will all carry the 1-R series.
Think of that All the other letters in
the alphabet can take a we'll deserved
vacation; We'll all be democrats or arls-
tocrats; the penny for Jimmy will be
forgotten and happy days will truly be
here again.

RACING DOGS
To PERFORM
At bRAWLEY

Members of the B. P. o. Elks
Lodge 1920, Brawley, are sponsoring
gigantic program of greyhound
racing for their Christmas relief
fund. The entire proceeds derived
from the greyhound races as we'll
as from other sources will be de-
voted to the relief of the destitute
and needy of Brawley and the i'm
mediate vicinity.
The Elk's Lodge remembered al
ways for its philanthropic work
during the Yule season is finding
! the demand for relief work greater
! this year than previous years and
the decision to bring greyhound
racing to Brawley for three nights,
December IA, Is and Is, was mott
waited by the fact that the public
in general is vitality interested in
this new sport, which has proven
SO popular in other localities and
also by the fact that the owners
of the racing greyhounds were de-
sirous of assisting the Brawley
Lodge in it's endeavor to make this
years Christmas happy one for
the needy and destitute of this
vicinity.
The greyhounds scheduled to race
during the coming meet at Braw-
ley are considered the fastest racing
greyhounds in the country and re-
present the cream of the greyhound
racing fraternity.
In addition to the nightly pro-
gram of greyhound races, the fam
Gus Hollywood Monkey jockeys will
be seen in action. The unique event
of monkey jockeys riding grey
hounds will be witnessed by race
fans as one of the feature attrac-
tionS during the three day race
meet. The Simian riders have at
tracted record crowds at other
tracks throughout the country.
According to reports, these
monkeys ride just like humans on
horses. They start from the starting
boxes and come out leaning for
ward on the dogs. They raise their
hands when clear of the boxes and
hold en- for dear life. They are set
down in specially constructed
blankets worn by the dogs but also
use their tails in keeping them
selves in place. This, one of the
many features, should be well worth
watching.
The greyhound races are TO be
held on the high school athletic
field, BraWley, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, December IA, Is and
16, with the first event scheduled
to start at 7:30 promptly each
night.
E. w. Mcintyre, exalted ruler
of the Brawley lodge also an
nounces that a mammoth dance
and barbecue will be held at the
Elk's club at Brawley on Sat-
urday night, December Is, starting
Immediately following the running
of the greyhound races.

TON
Of HAY HELD
AS NECESSARY
BY ]. S. CAMERON

1t seems appropriate at this
time of the year to review the hay
situation. AS has been said recently
in the Imperial Valley Press, and
truthfully, there is nothing sensa-
tional about the alfalfa hay indus
try. 1t is however, a sort of back
ground for other phases of agricul
ture in this country where the crop
serves the dual purpose of furnish
ing staple commodity and at the
same time builds up the soil for the
production of other crops. When the
proposed code of fair competition,
now before the department of agri-
culture in Washington was present.
ed, it was difficult to establish the
alfalfa hay industry as an outstand-
ing enterprise, worthy of independ-
ent consideration. Those in author
ity seemed disinclined to consider
it second only to the citrus indus
try in the state of Califoria.
Reviewing the seasons activities,
we discover that the price of U. S.
No. l alfalfa hay had advanced
from ST a ton last April, to S11 a
ton today, and probably will go a
little higher. Several elements en-
ter into this price advance. First,
and perhaps the most important
reason is that there is no over
production of alfalfa hay in this
area. Second the alfalfa growers
have intelligently studied their mar
ket and have released the product
as needed. Third, they have under
taken to standardize their product
through the hay grading service;
and fourth, they have demanded
cash for their hay, thus avoiding
the speculative element in the in
dustry.
If the relation of supply and de-
mand in the alfalfa hay business
can be maintained on an equable
basis, there is a fair chance for the
alfalfa grower to make something
above the cost of production. 1t is
likely, however, that the compelling
force of government regulation will
be necessary, through the medium
of a code of some sort to maintain
the desired level. The sponsoring OF
the proposed code is now in the
hands of the National Farm Bureau
at Washington, and if the farmers
of Imperial Valley wish to help the
industry and uphold the hands OF
the farm bureau, they can render
this service best by assuring the ma
tional representatives of the farm
bureau and the department of agri-
culture, that they want these regu-
latory measures, and make their
wishes known by letter or telegram.
