A Newspaper Office Yields Romance

But that was only a part of 1t.
There was a campaign to re
store submarginal lands TO the

ton of mnumerable small dams to
conserve water; a shelter-belt pro-
gram; a course of education in
scientific farming practices such as
contour ploWng and crop diversi-
fication, had a whole flock OF lesser
matters.
AS a result of all of this, the

years ago is now getting back on
its feet again-and which is inn

efforts and not by help from
above.

WHAT THE COACHELLA
CANAL MEANS TO US

With bids opened this week at Yuma
on construction of the COachella turn
out on the All American canal, the ques-
tion naturally arises: What does the
Coachella branch mean to Imperial Val
ley.
1t means lot of things, but chiefly it
means closer relations between Imperial
and Coachella valleys. 1t means. too,
that the day is not far distant when
one great field of agricultural endeavor
will stretch from the Mexican border
to the other side of Coachella valley,
and from the Colorado river to the foot
hills on the west.
The All American canal itself even
tually will bring under cultivation prac-
tically all land between the river and
the present irrigation sections of Impe-
rial Valley, excepting only the scenic
sand hills. By pump lift large portion
of the mesa west of the valley will be
irrigated, almost to the foothills. The
tourist driving west from Arizona will
travel through an almost unbroken ex-
panse of farm fields from the time he
enters Yuma valley to the time he reach
es the San Diego foothills.
With construction of the Coachela
branch of the All American canal
large portion of the territory north of
branch may eventually be brought under
cultivation. Perhaps the date is dis
tant one, but the possibility is there
A lot has been said about how the All
American canal will assure Imperial
Valleys water supply in the future. A
lot of consideration is also due, we be-
'ieve, to other assurances the canal
brings for the future greatness of this
region.

FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
WHATEVER 1T IS

For several years Imperial Valley has
been reading in national magazines of a
certain type how the valley is run by
vigilantes how laborers are terrorized
and labor union organization prevented
at guns muZZle in the agricultural fields.
We have read the stories, grinned, and
passed them off. We have talked to
others about them, and always the Opin-
ion has been the same-that they were
made out of the whole wool.
The other day we got to thinking Had
we actually talked to average representa-
tives of the class most directly involved
the agricultural workers? Had these
magazine writers found ont things we
had missed? Do they know the true facts
better than we do? Have we been sitting
back complacently while men were be-
ing herded like animals and ordered
about as machine is controlled?
We had taken it for granted, from our
own knowledge of conditions and from
misrepresentation we have seen in the
past of conditions on which we had first
hand knowledge, that all these outpour-
ings were the products of overworked
imaginations A newspaper should never
take anything for granted. SO a repor-
ter was assigned to find out exactly how
the average man. in the agricultural
fields looks upon the valley.
go out and talk to them-as many of
them as you can find. See if they're
afraid of vigilantes, or of the law. See if
they're afraid to organize. Don't take
anybody's word for it-find out from
these men themselves. If you have to
tread on somebody's toes, do it-but find
out the truth, whatever it is
Those were the reporters instructions.
We wanted to know. We thought the val
ley should know.

porter found out is published today ON

THE LAWS PROTECTION
TO LANDLORDS
EDITOR, POST-PRESS:

EDITOR, POSI-PRESS:
When | say the law gives no protec-
tion whatever to those who have houses
and apartments for rent, it is no reflec-
tion on the city and county officers. The
legislature is responsible for this condi-
ton, as you know. The law favors the
dishonest tenant, as you can see.
Under the present setup a tenant may
be behind ON his rent six months. He is
notified to pay or get out and he re
fuses. He is given legal notice to get
out in three days, and he refuses This
drives the property owner into an eXpen-
sive lawsuit to get him out. If he is not
able to finance lawsuit, the tenant can
remain indefinitely, and is protected by
the law in his illegal possession of the
property.
Under this kind of a freak law if my
renters get in a union and join the CIO
and refuse to move out or pay rent, they
can win a sit down strike on me stand
ing up and remain permanently.
1t would be impossible for the proper
ty holders to employ a bunch of lawyers
and he would go bankrupt, and eventual
" land in the bread line or on relief ac-
cording to law.
When the rent beater and trespasser
has driven the house owner into law
suit and is requested to come to court
he suddenly discovers he has no defense
on earth. He has not got a Chinaman's
chance of getting a favorable decision
in a kangaroo court. He fails to appear.
The landlord loses money, the renter
gains time.
When it takes six months to get the
defaulting renter out of a house and
costs more than the house is worth, just
where is the laws protection? Besides.
the record shows it costs ten dollars to
collect one by law.
am ashamed to say we have no more
protection here than we would get in
the Cannibal Islands, and where do we
90 from here?

MAKING THE BAD RISKS PAY
iaVerhill (Mass.( Gazettel

tHaVerhlll (MaSS.) GaZette)
What to do with motorists, whose acci-
dent record is so bad that no company
will sell them insurance but who want
to continue driving automobiles, is
question that bothers the careless motor
lists and foolish sympathetic politicians.
One answer is to keep them from be-
hind the wheels of automobiles Another
is to make them pay a high price for
insurance, price so high as to impress
them with the necessity of careful driv-
ing if they are going to be able TO afford
to drive 4 car at all.
New Hampshire is going to apply the
second answer. Undesirable drivers will
be sold insurance at Is per cent above
the rate charged other drivers. The
theory of the answer is sensible. The
defect in New Hampshire's application
of it would seem to be in the smallness
OF the increase over regular rates.
The Is per cent increase might make
this kind of insurance profitable, but
would it have the desired punitive and
education effect? We doubt it.

when we hit New York
A representative of the manage
ment appeared with a paper for
her to sign. Her face famed like
her hair as she read the words
written on the paper.
Take that back to Mr.. Shubert! =
she cried. Tell him to kick me
out if he wants to, but 1 won't re-
sign"
So she forced them to fire her
1t wasn't the first time such a
thing had happened to her. She
had been dropped before when she
had thought herself all set in a
good part, but it is katharine Hep
burns boast that she has never
resigned from any cast.
She never would quit. There Is
the keynote to her character. Re
peated knock downs couldn't stop
her. Bulldog fighter, she has kept
getting. up and boring in. AT last
she got the star part in The War
rior's Husband, and she held on for
two solid years on Broadway. An
unqualified success.
No false modesty, she is shy re-
tiring. Such natures often belong
to the highly capable and talented
class, who achieve lasting success.
Knowing her true value had been
proven, Katharine Hepburn deter
mined on what she would get when
the Hollywood agents came after
her. This was time when picture
producers were reducing salaries of
some, and firing others. But she
refused to face a movie camera for
less than fifteen hundred dollars a
week. RKO. signed her at that
salary for A Bill of DiVorcement.
1t was a ten-strike, and before they
could get her to write her name
on the dotted line again, they had
to raise the ante five hundred a
week. Then she leaped all the way
up the ladder as 10, in Little
Women.
Katharine Hepburn became one
of the leading actresses Of the coun-
try because she wouldn't let herself
be counted out When she was knock
ed down.
You can develop your personality
by following these simple rules:
!. Follow a line of work that
appeals to you-Work into which
you can throw yourself heart and
soul.
2. If you can't follow a line of
work you enjoy, then cultivate a
hobby.
3. Encourage in yourself a whole
some point of view on life.
4. Look for something likeable in
every person with whom you come
in contact.
s. Don't think of yourself all the
time.
