SEES GOOD POWER REVENUE

LOS ANGELES, Feb. l. U.R)-
Completion of the All-American
canal would mean a saving of ST.
100000 and the revenue Of $250,000
a year, to Imperial Valley farmers,
B. P. Lester, secretary OF the I'M
perial Irrigation District bondhold-
ers committee, testified today be-
fore Federal Judge Paul j. McCor-
mick.
Lester was called as a witness at
the hearing in which the bondhold-
ers and creditors OF the district are
seeking to block a proposed re-or-
ganization of the district under the
new law permitting the irrigation
district to go into bankruptcy.
He said the completion of the
canal would make it unnecessary
for farmers to clean their canals,
which would result in big saving
in expenses. s-..- 49,. =.
Questioned by Attorney w. Co
burn Cook, Lester said the power
pOtentialitieS of the canal would as
sure good revenue to the district.
He testified that in 1882 bonds OF
the district went down to 20 per
cent of face value but that since the
government loan of $34,000,000 was
granted, the value had gone TO SO
per cent.
Judge Mccormick indicated he
might take the case under Subnl.S-
sion late today and might make an
immediate ruling on the conStitu-
tionality OF the new bankruptcy law,
which is being attacked in the pres
ent action.
Attorney Harry w. Horton, rep
resenting the district, yesterday
called to the stand Frank McIver,
treasurer of the district, who out
lined the original financial plan.
McIver testified that the presi-
dent had paid $1,000,000 which ma
tured in 1880 and similar amount
in 1881.
In 1892, however, the district was
able to pay only interest, he said,
and in 1888 and 1884, paid nothing
at all.
Under the reorganization plan,
the district would be protected from
foreclosure and permitted to work
out over a period of time an ar
rangement to pay off its indebted
ness.
Objecting groups are the South
ern .Sierras Power company. the
Hydro Electric Securities company,
George F. Covell, James H. Jordan,
j. F.. Joyce, and other creditors.
Attorneys for the district asked
that the objections be overruled be-
cause less than per cent of gen.
eral creditors were represented in
the protestants' group.
Federal Judge George Cosgrave
previously ruled in San Diego
hearing that the protests could not
be considered unless per cent OF
the creditors and security holders
were represented.
Attorneys representing the South
ern SierraS Power company argued
that Judge Cosgrave IS ruling was
unconstitutional on the ground that
congress could not legislate to pre-
vent any person from having his
day in court.
Attorneys representing the bond
holders protective committee told
the court the reorganization plan
had its approval.

DERHAPS the worst thing in the
= world is a gossip, a fanatical
gossip with a poisonous tongue and
an active imagination. More repu-
tations have been ruined by this
means than from all the shortcom-
ings that the most erring of the
individuals of the race have been
burdened with. A gossip is heart
less, soulless and without con-
science. A gossip is always public
enemy number one. The gangster
who riddles his enemy with slugs
from some dark doorway is a more
desirable citizen that the gossip, be-
cause the gangster feels he is
avenging some wrong committed by
another gangster who failed to play
the rules. The gossip does not need
reason to knife a reputation in
the back. The gossip victims are
as rule innocent because the Cos
sips barks will not harm one who is
known to be guilty.

" salesmanship and advertising
enter more largely into business
than Il has at any time In the past
In the history of this country. There
is scarcely business or calling to-
day in which salesmanship and adj
yertising are not most important
factors. In the olden days mer-
chants were inclined to let business
come to their stores. Very little
was done to invite it to come AS
q consequence purchases were con-
fined to few actual necessities. It
would be interesting to note to
what degree the success of modern
industry, the sales of radios, motor
cars, ice boxes and the like is due
to salesmanship and advertising.
These two factors more than any
thing else have made possible the

has become, as we say, advertising
conscious. That is, it has learned to
depend on advertising for knowledge
OF the things it is to buy. It has be-
come trained to do this. Let any
well known article cease to be adj
vertised and new product launch
ed with an advertising campaign
and the buying public will quickly
turn from the old product to the
new. This has been proven many
times. The power of judicious adj
vertising, liberal and persistent adj
vertising can scarcely be over esti-
mated.

NTHEN Mothers Day was first

NHEN Mothers Day was first
w established number of years
ago. many people thought it would
be just temporary kind of observ-
ence, an expression of feeling that
would soon be succeeded by some
thing else, as happens in SO many
ways in our rapidly changing Am
erican life. But it has not proved
So The custom has become APP
parently a permanent one, and each
year Is observed in countless
churches, and noted in innumerable
homes.
Power is given to that feeling by
the general recognition on the part
of the people, that they have never
appreciated their mothers as they
should. Children rarely realize
what their mothers have done for
them, or the extent of the sacri-
fices they have made. They ac-
cept these sacrifices. these labors,
and this affection, as a matter of
course, something to be expected
and not wonderful In any way.
In many young minds, the feel
ing toward the mother Is one of re-
sentiment. She Is regarded as
strict, too prudent, not sympathetic
with young people, constantly hold
ing them back from things they
want to do.
As years go on, however, people
See how utterly selfish and wrong
chat point of view was. They real
fze that the love and devotion which
their mothers gave them was some
thing marvellous and beyond the
power of words to express. AS the
years go on, they desire to express
this sentiment In some tangible
way. And so this custom has come
about, of observing the second Sum
day In May in this manner.
May it long. continue, and may 1t
inspire all children, young and old,
to testify to an affection so deep
that every mother will feel reward
ed for all the devotion she has Law
ished on her offspring.
