WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

It was stated in former install ment of these comments that by the time it was in print the 48 works and relief bill probably would have been passed by Congress. The pro- phet's mantle is a dangerou robe with which to experiment, even when trimmed with probability. The works bill still hangs fire. If those who have the actual handling of the meas ure do not know what is going to happen to it, perhaps mere On- locker may be excused for making a mistake regarding it's destiny The house has turned the bill back to conference, which means that it's passage will be deferred and maybe long deferred. The bone of conten- ton is the requirement that labor re- ceive third of the funds appropriat- ed. Those opposed to that proviso state that it fixes a definite sum to be spent in a specified way, even though the amount named may not actually be needed for that purpose. Neither of the contending factions, nor yet the public, should chafe un- der the delay. The matter of sup plying and disbursing approximately five billion dollars is something in which it will be well to tread care fully and advance slowly.

Prize Products

The chamber of commerce today
received two very splendid speci-
mems of Imperial Valleys produc-

One of the displays is a cluster
OF eight grapefruit, each of them
large and very nearly perfect in
shape. The specimen was taken
from a heavily laden tree belong
ing to the O. c. Nordahl grove in
Bard.
A mammoth head of lettuce, pro-
duced by the H. P. Garin company
on their ranch two miles north and
two miles east of Holtville, is the
other attraction at the chamber. 1t
weighs six pounds and is two feet
in width, measuring from each end
of the outer leaves, is well-shaped
and as firm as cabbage. 1t is not
puffy as SO many of the larger Spe-
cimenS usually are.
1--WE have every reason to be
proud of the fruits of Imperial VAL
ley soil,' said Manager Robert
Hays. "In spite of the severe
drought that this part of Southern
California experienced during the
summer, it is gratifying to see what
extraordinary and perfect speci-
mems of our main. crops are pro-
duced even in off years. The
head of lettuce was brought in by
Glen Simmons, district manager for
