NO LIMIT ON
ANY CROP.
EDITOR, POST-PRESS

EDITOR, POST-PRESS:
In your paper printed September 26th
certain references are made to the appli-
cation of the AAA to Imperial Valley
farmers. In my opinion the editor was
either unfamiliar with the subject about
which he wrote or he has deliberately
tried to mislead the people in their in
depreciation of the program.
The AAA does not maintain that the
present legislation is perfect, and it well
comes and encourages any just criticism
or suggestion that might be offered but
continued destructive criticism not sup
plemented by something constructive
does neither the administration nor the
author any good.
In referring to the second paragraph
of your editorial, any amount of either
wheat or cotton or any other crop may
be planted by farmers. The AAA does
not restrict the acreage planted Cooper
alton with the program is entirely vol
untary with the producer, but by cooper
ating he is eligible to receive certain
benefit payments. There is no tax on
wheat marketed in 1888. The affirmative
vote of more than sc 2-3 per cent of the
wheat growers of the nation is required
to effect any marketing quota tax for
1889 should there be an enormous sur
plus of wheat on hand.
On March 18th, 1888 the cotton mar
keting quota was favored by more than
81 per cent of the cotton producers in
the country. BY this marketing quota,
only the man who plants more than his
share of the national allotment is taxed
cents per pound on that cotton grown
on the excess acres "a per cent of the
Imperial Valley cotton farmers voted
for the cotton quota. This is not bureau
cratic control, it is democratic control
by the majority.
If the American farmer can improve
his income and standard of living by
adjusting his production to demand, and
at the same time build up the fertility
of his soil, certainly he is entitled to do
SO under our democratic form of govern
ment Notwithstanding the fact that some
people say it is a sin for the farmer to
do that which industry has practiced
since the beginning of civilization.

WHY OWN A HOUSE,?

(Tulare Advance-Register)
Why own a house? Why get involved
in all the bother of repair bills and fur
mace trouble, leaky pipes and borrowing
neighbors? Is house more trouble than
it's worth? We put the question to every
fellow toWnsman we met the other day,
and this is what we learned:
A man finds security in owning his
own house; something to fall back on in
times of stress, He develops a heighten-
ing of interest in civic affairs, and feels
the glowing warmth Of community spirit.
In ones own house, habits of thrift
and dependability are fostered; there
cultural pursuits, study or genial friend
ships grow and prosper. To own his
house gives man financial standing,
basis Of credit, an assurance of stability.
But most Of all house makes "home
possible; it turns a group of people into
a family, gives a mans children the feel
ing Of fundamental family unity, and ties
closer the bonds of love and affection.
Yes, there are lots of reasons for own
ing ones own house And they're all good
reasons. Perhaps that's why so many
fine, stable American families these days
are going in for the luxury.

A WARNING AND
A PUBLIC TRUST

By the greatest majority ever record
ed in Imperial county-24 to one-vot-
ers of the Imperial Irrigation District
last week accepted the PWA offer of
additional financing for the All Ameri-
can canal power system-and at the
same time reaffirmed their support of
the program.
Their vote was a warning that Impe-
rial county intends to go ahead with its
power program, brooking no interfer-
ence.
1t was, at the same time, a public
trust placed in the hands of those charg-
ed with administering the program.
There can no longer be any doubt in
anyones mind that the people of the
district are determined to go ahead with
their plans to the ultimate degree. This
fact alone should be an inspiration to
those directly supervising construction
and operation of the power system, as
we'll as a warning to them that the peo-
pie consider this matter bigger than
any man or faction or private enterprise.

I'll let him tell it in his own
words:

drove myself very hard. And, like
most people, I paid no attention
to fatigue. After a while there
were nights when, tired as I was
after a days strenuous work, I
could not sleep. Nevertheless, I
continued to overstrain, being very
anxious to finish my experiment
on time. AS a result I very nearly
lost my ability to sleep. would
lie in bed the whole night court
ing sleep which coyly refused to be
won.
Finally I resorted to mild hyp-
notes. They would cause me to
fall asleep but after a few minutes
I would awaken.
II consulted my colleagues. But
somehow all their prescriptions and
suggestions were ineffective. I was
ready to take any suggestion, or to
pay any amount of money to any
one who could cure me.
''I decided to take sun baths. In
stead of helping me. the sun baths
seemed to aggravate my nervous
ness. 1 was on the verge of neur-
asthenia
"As a last resort. I decided to
take air-baths. exposing my nude
body to air breezes. I would lie
for hours in the shade, in complete
rest, bathing my body in the air,
so to speak.
"The result of this treatment was
so extraordinary as to be dramatic.
On the third night I was able to
get a few hours sleep-for the first
time in months. In two weeks l
forgot that I had had insomnia.
My extreme irritability disappeared
and I was able to resume my work.
Discussing the case with fa-
nous physiologist, we agreed that
the underlying cause of my sleep
lessness was a lesion of the Vegeta-
tive nervous system occasioned by
fatigue which was cured by rest
and prolonged air-baths."
Why don't you try it? 1t is
simple. it certainly can't hurt you
and it will cost nothing.

and liason officer of the United

Famous Sayings
Bruce Cation Says
-Momentary Amusement for Puzzled Prosterity

Assuming that 5000 years from
now there is alive a civilized race
interested in the doings of its fore
bears, you can have an amusing
time figuring out what that race
is going to think when it opens the
''time capsule" buried recently on
the grounds of the New York worlds
fair.
The outfit that put this capsule
together was thorough, if nothing
else. 1t set out to bury a collec-
tion of odds and ends which would
give the people of so centuries
hence a good cross-section view OF
our civilization, and it got in prac-
tically everything Gas they say)
except the kitchen sink.
There was Bible, a Womans
hat, and can opener. A toothbrush
nestled alongside a paper of safety
pins, flanked by box of children's
blocks on one side and camera or
the other. Samples of modern tex
tiles were wedged in with a pipe
and a box of cigarets. Seeds from
the grain belt were put in, along
with hunks of coal, bits OF asbes-
tos, and an 1100-foot microfilm
ESSAY which included 100 books
and a thousand pictures.
Altogether, the collection ought
to make a fine stew if stirred SUI
ficiently. But although it ought to
give our descendants an interesting
half hour or so, it is doubtful that
it will really tell them what the
world of 1888 was like.
The important things seem to
have been left out, principally be-
cause no capsule ever made would
contain them.
Where are the intolerance of
peoples, the brutal craftiness of
dictators, the coWardice of states
men, and the jealousy and suspi-
cion of great nations? These are
the things that set the key for to-
days civilization. Without knowing
about them, one cannot get even Il
glimmering of the true state of
things in the world today. But how
are you going to put them in a
test tube for examination 5000
years from now?
Where. is the blindness and the
division Of spirit that makes sep
arate classes within a nation seek
their own good rather than the
good of the whole? Where is the

STATE BUILDING WORTH
COMMUNITY SACRIFICE

Again there is a first rate chance for
Imperial county to obtain construction
in Ell Centre of a S250,000 building to
house state offices. 1t is a chance that
should not be muffed.
Already the state has set aside $9O-
600 to begin construction-if a suitable
site is provided by the county or the
city. 1t must be a site on Main street
In Ell Centro 1t must be on Main street
so incoming motorists may obtain out
of-state permits there without having to
hunt all over the country for the motor
vehicle office, and it must be in the
county seat because the state will not
consider building it elsewhere.
Surely those terms are not undesirable,
and Just as surely they should not be al
lowed to stand in the way of acquisition
by the county of an imposing new public
building. We cannot expect the state to
eXpend huge sum for construction of
an outstanding building on a side
street.
We should like to see the county board
of supervisors furnish a site in the pub
lie park across the street from the coun-
ty court house 1t would be the first
move toward developing beautiful civic
center for the entire county.
If the supervisors find that they can
not, for some reason, do this, then we be-
lieve the city of FL Centro should and
will make every possible effort to provide
a site on its own behalf For the sake
of a $250,000 building that will be per-
manent benefit to the city, the municipal
government could well afford to spend
a couple thousand dollars to acquire a
site to be turned over to the state.
We are confident the city council will
do everything within its power to meet
the states terms. Members of the coun-
Gil realize fully the benefit of such a
building to Ell Centre as city.
We hope the county supervisors coop
crate heartily, because the building
would benefit the county as whole fully
as much as it would help Ell Centre. 1t
would bring here the fees which now go
to Los Angeles or Sacramento, it would
make their official dealings easier for
Imperial county motorists, and it would
establish Imperial county even more Sc
curely in the eyes of the state as an i'm
portant part of government.
One way or another, the state build
ing should be assured to Imperial coun-
tV.

Pensions for Aged :.
Nationwide More
By WILLIS THORNTON


WASHINGTON. - While pension
plans take the center of the stage
in the fall campaigns in several
states, the fact is notable that
at last every state in the union is
making some provision for the
needy aged.
Approval by the Social Security
Board of Virginias plan made it
unanimous, and by the end OF this
month when the Virginia work be-
gins, nearly 100000 people over
65 years old will be getting aid
from the Jointly financed state and
federal program.
That is a sizeable block of people.
and represents not a paper promise,
but people actually receiving aid,
inadequate though it is in many
cases. 1t is an accomplishment
which is the more amazing when
one recalls that the act itself was
passed only in 1885 and validated
by the Supreme Court in 1887
Many proposals for extending
improving, and increasing the Old
age benefits of the act are reposing
in congressional pockets awaiting
the session that opens Jan. |. EX-
tensive revision of the act at this
session is unlikely, however, despite
pressure from the Thirty Dollar and
Townsend people.

Quiet feelers are going out to

ual state-by-state build-up which
Governor La Toilette has predicted.
The campaign to break down the
lack Of American interest in Euro
