FARMERS FROM DROUGHT BELTS
SHOULD TAKE UP LAND HERE

Imperial Valley has 10000 acres of
available land and needs farmers to
till and operate it.
The drought-stricken areas of the
central west have thousands of capable
farmers, but no land for them to work
which can guarantee a living.
The midwest farmer and Imperial
Valley acreage should be brought to-
gether
That, in a nutshell, is the reasoning
behind the message sent to the National
Resettlement Administration by the
county board of supervisors 1t is we'll
that the board should take this action.
Nothing is more logical Nothing is
more warranted than that the govern
ment should aid farmers in finding loca-
tions where they can reasonably expect
to make their way.
Imperial Valley needs more farmers.
Banks, land companies, insurance COM
panies, etc, have many fine tracts for
sale at reasonable prices. 1t is one of
the vagaries of life that farmers should
be starving elsewhere while here, our
fertility is literally begging for people
to come and use it.
1t was to this sort of irony that Cal.
A. Ward, regional director of the Rural
Resettlement Administration at Lincoln,
Neb., referred when he said, after a trip
through the dried Dakotas:
Thousands of drought burned acres
should never have been put to the ploW'.
Everyone knows what he meant. He
was indicting the fact that much of the
central west agricultural area consists
of land which may produce a few good
crops. but whose soil does not have
the stamina to maintain production. he
was pointing out that only once every
several years, does tickle nature provide
sufficient rain to bring forth profitable
harvests. He was saying, in effect Its
the old story of marginal land not pay
ing its way.
Contrasted with these territories are
irrigated areas such as Imperial Valley,
which, through manmade device and
scientifically constructed systems, can
turn on or turn off its water supply
without regard for natures whim. To
this extent, the gamble has been taken
from agriculture.
The drought-stricken farmers should
long since have been transplanted here,
and the desolate parts of the midwest
returned to the jack rabbits.
Just how the impoverished midwest
farmer can purchase of our lands Is
most serious problem. Every effort
should be made to work it out, not only
for his benefit but for ours.
1t is to be hoped that the board, and
very other agency of the valley will
draw upon all possible resources in an
effort to populate our own territory
with people whom Imperial Valley needs
and who need Imperial Valley.
To accomplish this would be the first
big step toward realizing on the Boul-
der Dam and All American Canal in

Last evening approXlmately ooo people turned out 10 attend the Open House" and dedication of the new Nome public school whi- oh was completed this summer and fall, at cost of something close to $90,O00.00.
 It was a great surprise to most of those attending to see such a fine modern building, and many remarked that they felt like attending school again, it looked so inviting and uptodate.
 The gymnasium which is large enough, not only to accommodate school activities but for all civic affairs as well, has a seating capacity on the floor for 500 and another additional 200 more in the gallery. The stage is well proportioned and well lighted and in the top center are the letters NILS. in silver with a deep wine colored curtain.
 When the curtain was drawn and practically every seat being occupied it disclosed members of the school board, city officials, Superintendent Calvin Poole and Rev. Vincent W;dney, sitting in a semi circle on the stage.
 Councilman Alvin Polet, chair man of the city council school committee, acted as chairman of the program activities, which be- gan with an invocation by the Rev. Widney. Councilman Polet then gave brief talk about the new school and was followed by City Clerk M. J. Walsh, who described in minute details how the money was raised to finance its construction, giving credit to the numerous ones whose assist ance was greatly desired, and fin ally mentioning the name of the one person, who after all, made it possible to construct the school by his aid,-President Franklin D.

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?


 George M Hartt editor of the Passaic (N.J) Her aid News says:
 Not so many years ago retailers never advertised unless they had some merchandise they couldn't sell to the customers that into their stores from day to day. Most of the Clearance Sales in those days re- presented buyers misakes that is, merchandise that stores had bought and for good could not sell
 That is all different today. Retailers for the most part advertise merchandise that is selling, merchan- disc that people want at the prices that people want to pay That is the reason newspaper advertising has be- essential to the woman in helping her to plan her shopping She knows before she goes to the wheth she wants the merchandise that is ofered she does not have to spend weary hours looking over lot of stuff that she finds she doesn't want.
 "That does not that all Clearance Sales in these days advertise something women do not want. There many clearances of perfectly good merchan disc that for reasons o changngs seasons and the ke retailers do not want to carry over But the whole idea of advertising in newspapers has changed and that is why the newspaper is the indispensable sales agent in the retailers operations AND WHY READERS RE- GARD ADVERTISING AS IMPORTANT AS NEWS.
 Did you ever stop to think that in order to make pleasing impression visitors, city should be kept clean not once in while but all the while.
 It should be kept attractive that the more vis- itors see of it the they will want to again.
 When visitors like city the more they will talk about it and wish they lived there-and many will arrange to do so.
 Every city needs good citizens added to the number they already have.
 Good citizens stimulate city's growth by doing things worth while.
 A clean city builds good reputation that is soon known far and wide.
