BY FRIENDSHIP

Continued From Page One)
In less than 40 years. you have
built from a start of only a barren
desert" ne declared. And in less
than IT'S years. Americans have
built. from a nucleus OF a few col
Onies. the greatest and richest and
most productive nation on the face
of the globe.
But that growth, locally and
nationally. Is seriously endangered
It's enemy is not from outside Of
US; its enemy is internal infection
with European doctrines which are
foreign to Us and our methods.
We must not permit this coun-
try to start down hill, or the pio-
neerS qualities TO deteriorate. on
the theory that our mode OF max
ing the United States successful
was all wrong. and should be thrown
overheard in favor of some other
untried system.
The meeting was opened and
presided over by president Dupont
who welcomed the visitors. Dean
Richmond, J. H. Mccoy, and Stu
art Green. presidents of the Holt
vile. CaleXico and BraWley clubs
respectively, made short speeches
in behalf of their organizations.
Ralph Stilgenbauer, past preSi-
dent of the Brawley club struck
the keynote OF the evening in an
appeal for greater friendlinesS be-
tween RotarianS throughout the
valley, and between the valley COM
munities.
We are only weakening the
valley structure by working against
each other. he affirmed. "Brawley
can get nothing by working against
e Centro and Ell Centre can get
nothing by working against BraW-
ley. We must adopt the greater
vision, as advocated through Ro-
tary. OF universal service and
friendlmess. and thereby unite to
work for the whole OF Imperial
Valley. If the valley grows and
prospers, We all will grow and
prosper

Benefit Payments
To Go 10 Farmers
Months Earlier
Congress May Be Talking
Of Changes in Act
When Checks Go Out
Ry the Associated Press.

| 1y the Associated Press.
Agriculture Department officials
said yesterday that benefit pay
ments under the 1898 crop program
would be distributed this winter and
spring-several months earlier than
similar payments have gone out In
past seasons.
The earlier payments were de-
cided on, they said, with the OBJ
jective Of increasing farm-purchas-
ing power at a time when market
receipts are low.
About $500, 900 900 in benefit pay
ments are to be distributed. ON
cials said grower applications for
payment would be received during
December and January and the
first checks would 60 into the mails
In February.
The bulk of payments made un-
der the 1887 program went out dur
ing the past summer and fall.
When the 1898 checks reach farm
ers, Congress may be debating pro-
posals to substitute some other type
of farm legislation for the present
law.
Wallace Opposes Upheaval.
Low farm prices were an issue in
agricultural areas during the recent
political campaigns, and some sue
cessful candidates for Congress
argued that new attack should be
made on the farm problem.
Secretary Wallace has opposed
any drastic change in the present
law, asking that it be given longer
trial.
Most of the 1898 benefit payments
will go to producers of cotton, corn,
wheat, rice and tobacco for planting
within acreage allotments and for
following specified soil-building
practices.
Later next year, possibly in Sep
tember and October. the department
will distribute $212, 900 900 in price,
adjustment payments to growers of
the major crops who comply with
the 1889 program. An additional
$50, 900, 900 will be distributed to
sugar growers during the spring and
summer.
To Total 1852 Millions.
These payments, totaling $762,-
100000, will be the largest amount
ever available for one year. Omcials
said they should boost the 1899 ma
tional cash farm income above the
$7,625 900, 900 estimated for this year
Farm economists said preliminary
reports indicated that gross farm
income-cash receipts and products
retained on the farm for home con-
sumption-would total about So
$4,000, 900 this year, compared with
$40 y003 ,0O0, 900 last year and $5,284,-
000, 900 in 1882.
This years cash income by major
commodities was estimated as fol-
lows: Grains, $3.50 900 900; cotton

Sniper Is Indirectly
Responsible for Boy
Pianist's Injury
Gun Fires When Il Hits
Floor; Hurts Held

II little Joe Steer wants to go
ahead and become young genius
on the piano-as he might well do
"a gunshot wound in his elbow, for
which the sniper was indirectly re-
sponsible, won't upset his plans.
Joseph, 12-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry B. Steer. 6315 Flori-
da street, Chevy Chase, Md, was
injured in an accident at home
the Friday before Thanksgiving, but
the full details have never been
told.
At that time the sniper's mad
shooting had nearby Maryland resi-
dents pretty jumpy and Mr.. Steer
decided to take a gun along when
he left for choir rehearsal at the
Rock Greek Church.
He was examining his .38-caliber
revolver in the kitchen and his son
was standing nearby playing with
one of these toys called a yo-yo.
Suddenly the weapon slipped from
the fathers hands. When it struck
the floor it discharged. The slug

glanced off his hip bone and ranged
upward, going through his wrist
and finally fracturing the elbow
and tmbedding itself there.

Hospital, but it was several days
before they removed the bullet
Joseph has the battered piece of
lead for a grim souvenir and al
though he still carries his arm in
sling, doctors think he will regain
full use Of it.
Joseph has shown some talent
as a pianist, but he's only been at
1t few years-not long enough
to determine whether his future
is assured. He comes by some of
his musical ability naturally, mas
much as his father, an economist
for the Forest Service, is the or
garnist at Rock Greek Church.
