] Responding to the administra-
ton IS patriotic appeal to banks to
increase their capital in order to
improve the banking structure of
the nation and thereby to benefit

leading institutions of the country
to take steps to comply with the
administration IS appeal for general
| participation by all banks in the
strengthening of their capital Struc-
ture as one of the essential features
of the recovery program.
The plan approved by the direct
ors of this bank calls for the issu-
ance of preferred stock in the sum
of $l2,O00,000. 1t is proposed to is
sue and sell to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation 100000 shares
of per cent cumulative retirable
! preferred stock of $50 par value
with the agreement on the part of
the corporation that on any stock
held by it and retired within three
years the dividend rate will be 4
per cent.
At the same time it is proposed
that the bank decrease its common
capital from $30O00,000 to $240OO,OO0
by reducing the par value of its
100000 shares of common stock
from $25 to $40 per share without,
however. changing the number of
shares.
Carefully Considered
After the proposed changes are
effected, the capital structure of
Security First National will be $48,-

gencies $17,000,000 as compared
with total capital funds of $45,000,-

UNCLE WIGGILX AND THE

Spring was now in Woodland
near the Orange Ice Mountains,

hollow stump bungalow. And, speak

they were beginning to melt into
a sort of cold cream. for the wealth

Uncle Wiggily had gone out to

TAXI STRIKERS
DEFY POLICE

NEW YORK, March %. W.R)-
Broadway and the theatrical dis
trict were strewn with pieces of
wrecked taxicabs and patrolled by
extra police today following wild
night of rioting that came as a
climax to efforts to settle the strike
of taxi drivers.
Defying police, more than 1000
strikers made the district a roaring
playground last night. They stop
ped taxicabs, tore doors off, broke
windows and assaulted drivers, all
the while screaming insults at po-
lice and on-lookers.
About 1000 strikers modified
downtown today for a march on
city hall where they were demon
strating in the park while their
leaders conferred with Mayor La
Guardia on the latest terms for
peace in the taXicab war.
Fourteen persons were arrested
and Is. mostly bystanders, were in
jured in the rioting.

SECURITY FIRST NATIONAL BANK
INCREASES ITS CAPITAL STOCK

of about $8,00O000 at the last pub
lished statement.
Quoting Security-First Nationals
president, C. M. Wallace, the local
banker, in making this announce
ment, stated:
"The officers and directors of
the bank have given careful con-
Sideration to this subject, and the
extent to which this bank should
participate in the program. 1t Is
their unanimous opinion that the
federal program on this subject is
a constructive step, beneficial alike
to the banks and to the general
public and that this bank should
fully cooperate with the plan as it
always has in any sound undertake
ing for the general good.
"There are two important ele-
ments to consider in connection
with a change and increase in the
capital structure of a bank partic-
ularly during a period of worldwide
readjustment such as the one we
are now passing through. First
| the increase should be substantial
enough to make provision Tor the
normal increase in deposits which
can be expected with the return of
better times. Second, the oppor-
tunity offered to increase the cap
ital of a bank by preferred stock
should also be used to increase
materially the bank IS reserves for
contingencies. This bank has very
substantial reserves at the present
time, but it is prudent for any
bank in times like these to take
this opportunity to set up extra
ordinary reserves to take care of
write-doWns and charge -offs if the
need arises. If an earlier return of
prosperity proves such reserves were
larger than necessary, it indicates
only excess caution and conserva-
tism, and an element of added
safety secured at nominal cost. If
on the other hand the unsettled
period should be of longer duration
than expected, clearly the action
taken in this regard would have
! been warranted"

FARM HOME DEPARTMENT

Yesterdays program at the meeting of
the Mt Signal Farm Home Department,
honoring Mrs. S. E. Robinson. one of the
department founders, centers attention
on one of the outstanding women's or
ganizationS in Imperial Valley, which.
though making no splurge about its activ-
tiles is doing splendid work in a field
where 1t is most needed and best appre-
ciated-with the women residents of the
rural areas.
The Imperial County Farm Home De-
partment is the oldest organization of its
kind in the state. having been organized
in the fall of 1918.
1t brings to the women of the rural
areas much of the club activity available
to those residing in cities, but goes fur
ther in its practical aims.
Paying considerable attention to social
activities, which often provide the only
thing of the kind open to those who live
in remote areas, it uses social gatherings
to give instruction over wide field. en-
bracing among other things, domestic
science, clothing projects, care of child
rem, household economics, development
of community spirit, rural sanitation, an
interest in public affairs, particularly as
applied to schools and school activities,
and encourages those interested in arts
and sciences by providing instruction in
subjects they may desire to study.
AS a factor in the community life of
Imperial Valley, the Farm Home Depart
ment stands preeminently for good. Its
various meetings and programs are IN
spring and interesting. To many of the
members these meetings are the one
break they obtain from the busy activity
CT farm life and their value is inestimF
able, not only to those who attend them
but to the entire valley. Out of them
comes a leaven that does much to coun-
teract other conditions and factors which
cannot be deemed as contributing to the
progress of the valley.
The Farm Home Department in the
valley is composed of several hundred
women, divided into the following dis
tricts: Rose-Mesquite, Magnolia-Mul-
berry, Spruce-Westside, Alamo-Verde,
Acacia, Mt. Signal, Eastside-Sunset, See
ley-Westside, McCahe-Eucalyptus, Cali
patria and Jasper.
1t is privilege and a pleasure to pay
tribute to it as a worthwhile organiza-
ton and to hope that its membership and
its activities will continue to hold fast
and expand the high ideals which have
made it a splendid success.

CANAL START LOOMS

AT last there is a hope that actual con-
struction of the All-American canal may
be started before Imperial Valleys sum-
mer weather sets in.
Announcement yesterday that bids for
the first work will be advertised within
30 days is the foundation for the hope.
If this schedule is carried out bids
should be received about the last of April
and if acceptable work could be started
shortly thereafter.
1t is realized that the schedule IS more
or less indefinite and one can only guess
about it at this time.
Valley residents noted with interest
that the statement issued yesterday from
the Denver office of the reclamation SER
vice contained the information that the
bids will be advertised for 32 miles of
excavation work, considerably more than
was included in the original bids reject
ed last December because the price was
too high.
This is taken to indicate that the rec
lamation service is anxious to make up
for the delays of the past few months
and bears out the contention made in this
column on numerous occasions that the
valley can get further and get there fast
er by playing BALI with the reclamation
service than it can by antagonizing that
branch of the government.
The Press has consistently pointed out
that the valley is chiefly interested in
getting the actual construction work
started with the least possible delay.
The dispute with Coachella and the
Maan suit were unfortunate obstacles
which compelled delay. Happil Y, and
thanks to the activity and interest Of the
board of directors of the irrigation dis
trict, these delays have been removed.
The directors-four of them at least
have showed desire to speed up the
canal project, the best proof of tins COM
ing last week when the aid of Phil Swing
was invoked by the board to obtain re-
lease of the canal appropriation, which
he promptly accomplished.
Close contact with DR.. Elwood Mead,
commissioner of the reclamation service,
r. F. Walter, chief engineer; and Ray NJ.
Priest, engineer in charge of the canal, IS
being maintained by the board and har-
mony exists between them. This fact
clinches the belief that nothing will be
left undone to speed up the goal-the
start of actual construction.

A FEW simple rules Will help the housewife to
\ protect her family against food spoilage and
food contamination during the summertime The
first is cleanliness. The food handler should wash
her hands thoroughly with soap and water before
handling foods and particularly after leaving

The dishes in which foods are kept should always

tremendously active during re-
cent months.
Although some Objectionable
films still reach the theaters, they
aren't one-haf as bad as they
were before being viewed by this
censor board.
Ever since the formation of the
VIII Hays organization, producers
theoretically have had to abide by
its decisions. However, this plan
worked in theory only, Hays made
suggestions and the producers fol-
lowed them or not, as they
pleased.
Now the Hays organization, of
which Breen, Wingate and Shur-
lock are a part, gives orders and
they are obeyed. If the censor
board says a certain scene must
come out of a picture, it comes
out.
NEEDLESS to say, even more
" drastic censorship must be
imposed upon the movie makers.
If they don't do it themselves, it
will be done by outsiders. This
has become apparent during the
last few weeks.
And the film industry, in order
to avoid federal and state censor
ship, if that can be done at this
late date, is prepared to accept
the strictest kind of censoring
from its own members.
One might wonder why, after
doing things in their own way
for so many years, studio eXecu-
tives finally are ready to do what
ever the public desires.
The answer is the unified move
ment of religious organizations to
clean up the movies. Such a COM
bination is one the movie industry

Steamships Are Expensive

might find it hard to pay the rent and grocery
bill on SIS week, so chapter on economical man
agement would be fascinating Now that he is back
home and has dismissed his steamship. Mr..
insult doubtless is able to something out OF
his pension.
The steamship, complete with her crew. fuel. pro-
visions, and all, must have cost at least 50 week,
leaving him only SIS a week for his cable tolls, tips,
taxes and legal fees. But then Mr. insult is genius
in his line and perhaps lie was able to make bar
gain for his steamship. Perhaps he got it
for Sc week
man never knows what he do on SIS

things like steamship hire.

any money-that is in it for him. But in an en-
tirely helpful spirit may suggest to novice
author that there would be great interest in chap

In his other years, the sweetest old man was a
very difficult subject to approach and the journal
