ADEQUATE DEFENSE BEST TRIBUTE
 TO WAR DEAD

Decoration Day, now commonly known as Memorial Day rolls around again tomorrow and in Juneau throughout the nation, we will gather to pay tribute to the soldier and sailor dead.
 Originally Decoration Day day set aside to decorate the graves of the who died in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. In the South the GUS tom of observing memorial days arose in tribute to the Confederacy dead. Today the term Memorial Day is coming into general usage, due, perhaps, to the general observance memory of soldier and sailor dead of all
 It is fitting that we pause in salute to those who died for and it is equally humanitarian that pray their deaths may not have been in vain. But cannot rest alone tribute and high pur- pose Words of euogy, parades and volleys, fitting and proper they are, will not guard against a similar disaster falling to the lot of those youngsters now coming up who will march in the next While we pause tomorrow in peaceful commemora- tion do well to give thought to safeguarding from the carnage of war the generations who follow after. The best barrier is adequate national de- fense

Experts Developing
Citrus By-Products

Byproducts that may make use of
surplus citrus fruits in favorable
crop years are being developed by
the department of agriculture's cit
rus products laboratory at Winter
Haven, Florida.
In the four years since the labor
atory was established, chemists
there have shown that high quality
salad oils, as we'll as solid fats, may
be obtained from grapefruit seed,
which is about third fat or oil.
They have made splendid wines
from citrus juices by adding sugar.
They have made brandies and cor
dials from the wines. They have
developed a method for canning
orange juice with bite" approach
ing that of fresh juice, method
which also greatly improves the
flavor and keeping quality of can
ned grapefruit juice
Whether or not major indus
tries will come from these discov-
cries is matter of economics" says
DR.. Henry G.. Knight, chief of the
bureau OF chemistry and soils.

YOUTH PREPARES FOR
EVENTUAL RESPONSIBILITY
As long as America produces and
trains youth of the type found in the
4-H clubs, there is no need to fear for
the future of the country.

Last Saturday afternoon a large
group of youths, members of All clubs
in all parts of Imperial Valley, visited
Ell Centre industrial and business eS-
adjustments. These young people We're
observant, interestd, wide-awake and
thirsting for knowledge Oldsters, min
Cling with the groups, We're impressed
with the debt We owe to the All clubs
and similar organizations, not only in
this county but throughout the nation
The young men and women find their
club work absorbing. 1t occupies their
time and their minds with constructive
endeavor. 1t makes them better citizens
now, and prepares them beyond the aver
age for the work that will fall on their
shoulders when they step into the gaps
left by those of us who look upon them
now as the younger generation.
The group of youngsters who in the
course of their Saturday tour, visited
the office and plant of this newspaper
was group of which Imperial Valley
can be proud. Heartfelt thanks is due
the men and women who lead the All
club activities, for they have done a job
of character building thas is unsurpass-
ed
In such tours as that of Saturday,
however, there is practical benefit
which cannot well be overlooked Those
youngsters, when they undertake the job
of farming, or enter industry or busi-
ness, will have a more thorough under
standing of their community as whole
than many of their elders had in the
beginning. They will know not only
their own problems, but the problems
of their neighbors, and in the knowledge
will be the makings of cooperation which
may go far to make their a better COM
munity In realizing that their prob

WASHINGTON-The new Republican brain
trust is getting up stream at rapid rate.
Already it has spread over two floors and
half of handsome office building less than
block from the White House and a couple OF
dozen stenographers whackng away at their
machines there all day long.
Eventually there will be a staff of about
60 persons brain-trusting or helping brain-trust

graphers for each professor with all signs
indicating pleasant summer.

the campaign of 1886
The only ripple in the ointment is dis

the other brain truSters may insist on being
scientific rather than political n their work
This suggests the horrible fear that Republican
brain trusters may get along no better with
Republican politicians than Democratic brain
trusters have been getting along with Democratic
politicians.
Fletcher tossed party the other night so
some of the hard-boiled congressional Republi-

THE ONLY TRUE PATH
TOWARD PROGRESS

No community which finances its
municipal government by eondoning and
taxing vice conditions can long exist as
prosperous. attractive place TO live
Superior Judge Vaughn y Thompson
warned Saturday IN sentencing three Ne
groes 10 states prison on a morals
charge.
The superior court judges pronounce
ment against eomplacent tolerance to-
ward vice conditions within a municipal
ity presented was most logical argu-
ment Il went 10 the root Of progress
in any community. strong character The
person who could hear that argument
and not be convinced must be prejudiced
indeed
When a community welcomes vicious,
criminally inclined individuals into its
portals merely because they are able TO
pay high stake for the privileg of stay
ing there that community is welcoming
an alien army made up of persons whose
lives are devoted to tearing down the
standards of society. It cannot be eX-
pected that they will do anything but
tear down the community in which they
live bringing it to a level with them
solves. Their presence discourages the
presence of progressive, steady elements,
and it is upon thes that the eventual
success of any commonwealth depends.
None of us would care to live or to
have our family live in place over
ridden with vice. Parents do not want
their children to grow up in such
place Husbands do not want to sub
ject their wives to the indignity of life
there and wives do not want their FAM
lilies there. Thus, family life, the base
upon which any community is built, is
all but eliminated in the beginning.
No community can exist long and
successfully under reign of vice.

IT Is SIMPLE AS GREED

Why, people in all lands are askng-Why is

no one, save few professional saber rattlers,

International relations are replete with be-

nations.
It is as simple as greed as fundamental as
the will to survive The have nots' among
world powers feel they must acquire some of
what the "haves' possess in order to maintain
their status as world powers; and the "haves'
are unwilling to part with anything.

area just shade larger than California; Japan
with the same number, has even less land; and
Italy, with 100000 IS smaller than the state

So it is Germany, Italy and Japan that are
stirring up all the trouble The status quo
does not suit them, and they cannot be sincere
in any agreement to maintain it. Not all the

1t is true also that if they had extensive COL
