Army Reserves Will Be
Boosted To $4,000 Men

Major General Stanley d. Embick from
Army Headquarters at Atlanta an
nounces that the Regular Army Reserve
will be recruited up to $4,000 men i'm
mediately according to instructions just
received from the War Department,
Washington, d. c.
A change in the regulations which per-
mits the enlistment of Reservists in the
grade help upon discharge from the Reg
ular Army will greatly increase the
number of enlistments according to
Military authorities at Fourth Corps Area
Headquarters. Reservists already en-
listed will be promoted to the grade
held by them on discharge without re-
quest.
Southern boys who have served in the
Army are becoming more interested in
the Regular Army Reserve according to
General Embick. Our Corps Area has
risen in the standings of Corps Areas of
the Army from seventh place on October
1, 1898, to second place on January 1,
1889, in the campaign inaugurated by the
War Department to secure enlistments.
The Fourth Corps Area has always stood
in first place in competitive standings
insofar as recruiting for the Regular
Army is concerned and if the present
rate of enlistments for the Reserve is
continued the Fourth Corps Area will
stand in first place when such stand.

Sen. Harrison Lauds
Social Security Act

Senator Pat Harrison issued the fol-
lowing statement today, in connection
with the Presidents message on Social
Security:
II am delighted with the Presidents
message respecting Social Security. Hav-
ing participated in the writing of the
original Socity Security Act, am keen
ly interested in seeing that the broad
principles Of security and protection un-
derlying that legislation be strengthen
ed. Only through experience in the ad-
mnistration Of the Act can we expect
to achieve the best methods of afford
ing security and protection to our
people.
II am particularly pleased and i'm
pressed with the recommendations con-
tanned in the Presidents message and
the accompanying report that larger
grants for old-age assistance and as
sistance to dependent children be made
to those States whose financial condi-
tion has prevented their taking ad
vantage of the present provisions in the
law. Many Of US have been urging that
such a step be taken and that the Act
be liberalized in this respect, particu-
larly. have no doubt that the Congress
will during this session deal more lib
orally with our needy old people.
an considering the question of grant
ing Federal assistance to States for
old-age assistance and assistance to de-
pendent children, we must keep in mind
the fiscal condition of the Treasury, the
increasing national debt and the recur-
ring Treasury deficits"

Strange Design Seen
In blackberry Wood

Nature often creates designs beyond
the explanation of man and no exception
can be made of piece of blackberry tree
brought here by W. H. Owen of KERN,
,rustee of East Bank colored school. He
said that the design was on two cuts,
ten feet long that were as large as your
thigh. small boy noticed it while
splitting wood for the school and showed
it to some others at the school. Owens
has a block of it at home and the de-
sign looks exactly like someone stamped
or burnt the design in the grain of the
wood as it continues on through the
block that was brought here. 1t is very
interesting to look at and makes you
wonder just how the tree got such de-
sign on it. Some said that it was an
injury to the trunk, while others said
bruise could have been sustained in the
grain that spread thruout the section.
A sample is at The Advertiser office for
anyone who cares to see it. Maybe you
can offer suggestion of how it hap
pened.

structetd for this purpose should con
form to plans and specifications that
would make them available and suitable
for storage of government supplies and
materials of all kinds, when not being
used for storing cotton. In this way
there would be no loss to the govern

ing facilities that could not be used"

Suggests Surplus Be
Given Army And Navy

In Saturdays issue of the Greenwood
Commonwealth, an article on the Cot
ton Surplus, written by w. M. Garrard
in the Staple Cotton Review, appeared
on the front page as a practical solu-
tion of the problem. The idea carries
a suggestion relative to disposing of
the surplus that will remove it from
trade channels once and for all. Mr..
Garrard is one of the leading cottotn
authorities of the South and his sug-
gestion carries quite bit Of thought.
Quoting from the Article the writer
statets:
at is now obvious, unless some ad-
ventitious factor occurs, that title to
some Ten to Twelve Million bales of cot
ton will pass to the government on July
81, 1899, through the non-payment of
growers loans. This stock of cotton,
whether it be Ten or Twelve Million
bales cit will probably be nearer the
latter figure), will constitute the entire
surplus of American cotton, above what
is required for normal commercial trad
ing.
"Now there is a solution to the surp-
lus problem. If the entire government
holdings of cotton on July 81, 1889 were
definitely and completely frozen, the
surplus would then be completely re-
moved and the cotton trade could pro-
ceed in normal way, not only in pro-
ducing cotton for normally expected con-
sumption, but in the distribution and
consumption of cotton and its products.
To remove the present burdensome surp-
lus from the market and wholly elimi-
nate it, would require the absolute ster-
ilzation of thet governments holdings
as of July 81, 1889.
ITO accomplish this objective we
would suggest that Congress immed-
lately enact law to sterilize the pres
ent and prospective government hold
ings of cotton by passing the title there
to to the Army and Navy, with the pro-
vision that such cotton could never be
used except for military or naval sup
plies at time when we we're engaged
in a war with a foreign power. If the
surplus were thus impounded, the cot
ton would be Immediately and completely
removed from the market. The trade
would recognize this fact, and mer-
chants and mills would no longer be
afraid to make commitments for the
future, but could conduct their business
in normal way.
The warehouses acquired or con-

following Southern States: Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North and South Carolina, and Tennes-
see. General Embick hopes for the CO.
operation of all concerned in this group
of Southern States in reaching and
maintaining this enviable place in this
feature of National Preparedness.
All prior service men are urged to
contact at once the nearest Recruiting
Station or Army Post or write to the
Commanding General, Fourth Corps
Area, Post Office Bldg, Atlanta, Ca, for
detailed information.

What happens TO graduates OF
Central high school after they
leave school?
The answer was included Friday
in voluminous data gathered in
connection with a survey designed
to aid in adjustment of the Gen.
tral junior college curriculum so
as TO be of more help in preparing
students for later jobs.
Taking the years l936-l937 and
1898 as a basis, state department
of education officials working with
Superintendent of Schools Guy A.
Weakley and El Centro teachers
discovered that only IT per cent
of the graduates who left school
to enter business failed TO get jobs.
Of the total 341 graduates during
the three years, 14l continued their
studies either at the junior college
in Ell Centro or at vocational
schools or colleges elsewhere. OF
the remaining 200, 1870 obtained
jobs lit in Imperial Valley and 13
elsewhere. Thirteen obtained part
time employment and three entered
the army or the CCC. Six failed to
find jobs
Twenty eight girls married. Three
are employed in Imperial Valley
and 25 became housewives, of which
II remained in the valley.
School authorities had no trace
of 20 students.
OF the students who went on to
college or university elsewhere
direct from high school, between
the years 1929 and 1887, five went
TO UCLA, seven to San Diego state,
six to Berkeley, Is to University of
Southern California, seven to Stan
ford Enrollments from the junior
college during these years were 81
to UCLA, % to San Diego state,
l6 to Berkeley, nine TO Southern
California, six to College of Agri-
culture at Davis and four to Red
lands. Two went to Stanford.
Small Percentage
Only two out of every 100 high
school graduates eventually COM
plete four year college course and
approximately four out of every ten
enter employment Immediately. Vir-
tually all of these employed persons
find positions in Imperial Valley.
Only one per cent goes elsewhere.
