WASHINGTON.-The drouth'S potentialities

the possible political effect. Hardly anyone,
however seems to have any clear idea as to
what that effect might be or even to be sure
that there will be any
1t may be worth remembering that the
great drouth in the summer and fall Of 1884 was
followed by a Democratic landslide in the Nov
ember congressional elections. Yet it would be
hard to demonstrate that the fact means any
thing in 1936-or that the big drouth relief
effort of the administration two years ago had
ANYTHING to do with the results at the polls.
Drouth causes livestock raisers to ship cat
tie hogs and sheep to market as fast as they
can get them there. As supplies pile up at the
packing centerS, meat prices tend to go down
in proportion to the size of the glut

Ell CENTRO'S IMPROVED
BUSINESS MARKS THE START
OF A NEW ERA

The depression is a thing of the past.
Already, El Centre and Imperial Val
ley have launched forth into bright
new era.
Yesterday, this newspaper printed the
results of a survey of business conditions
which were astounding in that they
showed economic and commercial i'm
provement to an almost unbelievable
degree. The report was not necessary
to prove that business was good. Actual
ly, conditions have been growing steadi-
ly better since the first of the year.
The report was. however, tangible mea-
surement showing that the curve was
steadily upward, confirming everyone's
impression that good times had return
ed as indicated by increases in employ
ment, buying power, merchandise move
ments, and business volume.
Every man and woman has cause for
rejoicing 1t means jobs are becoming
more steady; employment may be relied
upon; business is to be had in return
for individual enterprise; opportunity
is again knocking. We are now in that
period which historians a few years
hence will refer to as "the end Of the
depression.
More than that, this era is especially
important to Ell Centre and Imperial
Valley, because we are now launched
forth on a chapter in our history which
will be carried on and on by the event
full opening of the All American Canal
and the distribution of district owned
power. For the next two years natural
improvement will provide US with impe-
tus: after that, the results of the years
of district effort will start producing
an inevitable rich crop of valley growth.
Imperial Valley can look forward to
many years of pyramiding benefits.

AMERICAN INDUSTRY
CONTRIBUTES TO THE
PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION

How far the world has progressed in
a few decades through the medium of in
dustry and commerce, is excellently por-
trayed in a brochure just published by
n. w. Aver & Son.
The booklet vividly pictures the life
of the housewife today as compared to
the long days of drudgery which was
womens lot in the 1905. The differ
ence between then and now is statistical
ly pictured in staggering figures, and
the conclusion of the booklet is a re-
markable editorial in itself.
1t reads; In 1895 the total production in the
United States of commercially packaged and
processed foods was negligible
In 1885 the u. S. production was:
Bakery products ....... lI51l 100000 pounds
Beverages .................... 66O8 100000 pounds
Brewed products ...........- 5,040 COO 600 pounds
Canned and preserved products 7362OOo0OO lbs.
Confectionery ...-....-.....- 2.283 900 900 pounds
Grain products .-.--...-.... 81. .498O00000 pounds
Meat products ...-........- 16 sos 100000 pounds
Milk products ..-.-.-...... l15,7l30oo000 pounds
Other familiar foods ..-.-.. % 033 100000 pounds
A grand total of l25O0O000 tons! Almost a
ton for every man. woman and child in this
country!
What this means to America in terms of hui
man health and happiness Of human freedom
from confining toll and monotony must be
apparent to every one.
This staggering quantity of food. prepared
with scientific skill by the aid OF scientifically
controlled machinery, has released the American
housewife from burden of personal drudgery
which mounts, in the aggregate, almost beyond
the limits of the Imagination.
And it provides for the American family as
a whole a diet better balanced, more appetizing
and infinitely more healthfm than the menu of
forty years ago.
Truly in the creation Of this new universe
of food. American Industry has made an his
toric and invaluable contribution to the progress
and enlightenment of mankind.
This should make us all appreciate the
better living conditions which exist to-
day, as against that which our fore
fathers experienced.
1t also should convince the widest
communist that the profit-motive and
so-called capitalistic system rapidly i'm
proves the lot of mankind.
