TO Offenders OF lire NdZarO OTOl-'

Reluctantly, but firmly, Fire Chief
Corn Reed said:
Prom now on we will have to
stop giving more warnings and
bring charges. What else can We
do?
For months the department has
done its level best to bring the nec-
essity of fire prevention before the
public. We've spoken before ser
vice clubs and in the schools. Dur
ing Fire Prevention Week we pass
ed out thousands of copies of fire
hazard material. It's done some
good but not enough.
Can't Avoid Action
'If you can tell me what else
we can do to avoid drastic action,
please do SO and We'll give it a
trial. AS far as we are concerned,
however, we're at the end Of the
rope"
Chief Reed gave major blame tc
careless trash burners for the high
number of El Centro fires.

The king works a 16-hour day.
Desks in his study are heaped with
state papers which he scrutinizes

him for his signature. Then come
the daily reports from admiralty,

The king, apart from chiefs OF

the empire on what is going on in
the war zone. He alone in Buck

from Whitehall.
The king and queen meet only
at their simple meals. While the
king works in his study, the queen
has begun to fulfill her wartime
engagements of visits to hospitals,

War meant new engagement books

Alleys to Blaze

A long-sought plan for lighting
alleys on both sides of Main street

The plan, presented last week by
officials of the power division of the
Imperial Irrigation district, pro-
vides a total of % lights. The block
between Eighth and Seventh and
between Fourth and Fifth would
have three lights, while the two in
tervening blocks would be equipped
with four each.
Cost to the city would be ap-
proximately $50 a month. amount
ing to power charges alone The
district would install and maintain
the lights, retaining ownership
They would burn all night, every
night.
Action upon the plan was reported
unofficially. to be delayed until af-
ter the Nov election on Propo-
sition One. Board members appear
ed reluctant to enter into any new
contracts, pending decision on the
$50 Thursday idea.
Installation OF the alley lights
was a measure long sought by the
police department, on the score
that crime would be greatly re-
duced. Officers felt the lights
would facilitate detection and cap
ture of prowlers and burglars.

than three months, which vitally
affedted agricultural interests of
the United States, according to
Foulds.
McLachlan in East
In Washington Argyle McLach-
Ian, secretary of the Southwest
flaxseed association, Thursday ap-
peared at the state department
hearing to oppose a proposed Ar
gentina reciprocal trade agreement,
McLachlan represented his asso-
citation growers, the county farm
bureau and the state farm bureau.
Questioned as to what is behind
the proposed trade agreements with
the South American Republics,
Foulds declared the government is
attempting to strengthen its rela-
tions in the western hemisphere
and gain import and export trade
because European nations have been
pulled out of the field by war.
Noober answered a question con-
cerning advisability of such proceed
ure by pointing out that the United
States import and export trade
amounts to less than 10 per cent
of the entire business transacted
in the United States in a year.
Unfair to Farmers
1T isn't fair to the farmers of
the United States to penalize them
by reducing tariff on flax in the
Argentina pact and on fruits and
vegetables in the Chilean pact sole
ly to aid manufacturers in selling
what amounts to only ten percent
of their entire business" Hoober
declared.
While the Chilean pact will not
affect the Imperial Farmers direct
ly as will the Argentina pact. the
valley will fight its approval be-
cause of its opposition to farming
interests in general, Hoober said.
Faulds agreed that it would be
worth almost any price to keep the
United States out of war but indi-
Gated he couldn't believe that the
reciprocal trade acts would have
any great influence in the world
crisis.
All down the line, Faulds said.
the farmer has been forced to pay
the heavy end of the bills. We must
oppose such measures as these to
defend ourselves against additional

Adams plan was to work through
the farm debt adjustment commits
sion. He proposed naming a COM
mittee to wait upon the secretary
when he comes west Nov. 26. At
present the status Of the commits
sion is somewhat in doubt because
of technicality in passage of the
law extending the adjustment act
and therefore no action has been
taken toward formation of nom
profit financing cooperatives which
the act authorizes.

Pressing need for farm financing

"A friend OF mine has 100 acres
Of land that is about to be sold for
district taxes. He was turned down
on a request for a $500 Federal
Land Bank loan. Here is the bank s
letter"
A part OF the letter read:
1t appears that the normal in
come to be expected from the
farm would be insufficient to
meet proper operating costs. fixed
charges, water costs, installments
on loan requested and living ex-
penses. We understand you intend
to supplement your income by
renting and farming other land.
However, income from this source
has not been proven and we are
unable TO offer a loan"
On the other hand. Adams show
ed three letters from authoritive
realtors. One said:
Il have known this property for
26 years. A minimum sacrifice price
would be 500 an acre. In normal
times not less than $3.50"
Another said:
q am confident a sale could be
made in so days at s100 an acre
. a terrific sacrifice I believe
one reason why these sacrifice sales
are being made is lack of reason

The third letter said
In my opinion this is one Of the
finest pieces OF land in the valley.
The nirth half OF this tract has
rented in normal times at $50 an
acre. A farm of l60 acres nearby
sold for $4,000 cash two years ago.
I would consider it an absolute
steal at s100 an acre
Typical Case
Il assume the occasion for your
asking this information is relating
to . { land bank loan request).
This case is typical of the tragic
condition OF many land owners, un-
able to borrow on valuable land
even to pay up taxes. I have known
you, Mr.. Adams, for 20 years an0
wonder just what you hope to ac-
complish as member of this debt
adjustment commission in the light
Of these facts. It is no wonder to
me that this county voted Republic
can last election
1T is interesting to note the
tremendous sum the government
has given away or loaned for pub
lie improvement in this valley
and made it possible for man
with small income to own a s25Oo
house and the Farm Security
administration has helped in other
sections OF the country
And still you tell me the New
Deal is the best form of admins
tration.
Adams cited another case of 80
acres Of alfalfa, now under a four
year lease at $1,000 a year rental. on
which tn owner was unable to raise
a $500 loan for one year at g per
