HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY?

1t is sometimes astonishing to discover
how little some longtime residents of
Imperial county know about the terri
tory they live in Actually. there are few
who can tell YOU in detail what crops
I'm erial Valley raises, what industries
II supports, how many business establish
ments contribute to its economic life.
and what are the activities of its most
outstanding social and civic groups
Yet there is complete index to all
these things available to every resident
OF the valley, once year,
1t is the Imperial County Fair.
Opening March 2nd this year, the fair
Will once again be a show window through
which the multitudinous activities of the
community are reflected.
If you want to know and appreciate
your community, do not fail to visit the
fair this year, not once but several times.
And, when YOU do visit the fair go there
with an lnqulring mind. Don't just wan
der through the exhibit building, tossing
casual glanceS at the various objects dis
played. Don't stroll carelessly through
the livestock barn without a thought to
the great industry represented in the
animals you see. Don't, in other words.
look at the fair as YOU would a picture
in a magazine.
remember tnat What YOU re seeing is
part of your life. Every industry rep
resented there. every crop displayed by
growers, every blooded dairy herd with
its best stock placed on view. has its
direct effect on your own life 1t is
part of the economic scheme of Imperial
Valley, and on that economic scheme de-
penGs your living.
Use your imagination when YOU go to
the fair. Look at the exhibits, then pic
ture in your mind the things they rep
resent
Is there a colorful spread of grape
fruit making a fanciful design? What
do you see in it? Just grapefruit? There's
more than that. There is farmer. la
boring to improve his grove, anXiouSly
watching the market, guarding against
frost struggling TO pay the men he
hires, the organization that serves him
with water, the merchants he buys from.
There are laborers who depend upon the
citrus fruit for their living. there are
packing sheds which depend upon it to
keep going. there are merchants whose
accounts rise or fall sharply, depending
on the crop and the price it brings
There is not an exhibit at the fair
that doesn't have its own story. and in
each story Is a romance-yours for the
reading.
Go to the fair this year with an open
mind-an imaginative mind, if you please
and you'll be surprised how much more
interesting you find it.

Both Britain and Germany are
reading the Riot Act to bcfuddled
Norway as result of the Altmark
incident.
1t doesn't matter who's right ac-
cording to international law, be-
cause this code of nations, during
war, is pretty much like gangland
ethics. The act of war itself is a
gross violation of fundamental rules
Of conduct, and any gentleman S
code to govern butchcry is bitter
trave ity.
The victim of criminal acts is. of
course, Norway; and Britain and
Germany together share the guilt
for bringing the war and its legal
problems into Norwegian waters. 1t
is not fair to project ncutrals into
the dispute.
If there must be war. the best
way to conduct it, if it were pos
sible, would be to rope off areas
somewhere strictly within the bel
ligerentS' own territories and then
to send the armies in with a final
if futile, admonition not to hit be-
low the belt.

Among
Our Yesterdays

The rear-viSion mirror common
ly used in a haphazard way by auto
drivers has been turned into an in
Strument of precision by simple i'm
provement shown in the March
Popular Mechanics magazine. 1t
consists of the addition of red lines
ruled on the face of the mirror and
lettered to indicate safe or dan
gerous distances. The driver by a
glance at this convenient attach
ment can tell just how close he is
to car or other object behind"
That was helpful little hint to
Motorists that appeared in the pub
lie prints 20 years ago today in El
Centre. The rush to adopt little red
lines on rear view mirrors some
how never materialized.
Another driving suggestion. that
is somewhat mystifyinbg today:
The best life insurance you ever
had! If your Ford has yellow Rods
it cannot turn over. Every Ford
owner is invited to rde!'
From Amsterdam. Holland. came
a rather unflattering story con-
cerning America. 1t read:
AN unflattering view of America
is given in an interview in the Am
sterdam TELEGRAPH by William Oud-
e2ecst. widely known in labor cir
cleS and leader of the Dutch labor
party, who recently returned from
attending the international labor
council in Washington. D. C.
Among other things. Oudcgeest
found that in the United States:
Politics at this moment are on
level with politics in Holland in
1910.
Economically America has got to
the stage of 1880. and in the light
of culture the American still lives in
the 18th century.
"One gets the impression Dude
geest said, when in America that he
in the closing days of nobility, when
the peasants thought their noble
lords the only things of Importance
in the world but with the difference
that the bankers and big business
men take the place of the junkerG
and baronS.
General education is very low.
People do not read"
Wonder if there has been any inn
provcment in the last 20 years.
Where is this Holland, anyway?

THE DESERT BLOOMS

Too many people think Of the desert
as gray, desolate place, the principal
use Of which is to be left behind as fast
AS modern automobile will travel.
Those who know different are those
who have stopped. possibly for a casual
inspection, and have remained to ad-
mire.
This is the time of the year when the
desert blooms with more color than any
rose in natural history. Flowers, shrubs
and cacti take on new lease of life,
and as they do the desert energies in
beauty that is perennially surprising,
even to those who know it best. 1t is not
a glarng, brilliant beauty, but it is all
the more beautiful for that Its magnifi-
Cence appears in the strangest places, in
the most unexpected hooks.
A drive to the desert one Of these Sun
days will richly repay anyone who eS-
says it.

PEACEFUL FLIGHT
IN WARTIME
The Post Office Clerk)

Those who had the good fortune to
witness the departure of the Yankee
Clipper and the dispatch of almost POO
900 pieces of mail by the Postmaster of
New York. the Hon Albert Goldman.
will never forget that in war-torn 1899
America blazed the way for peaceful
international air traffic. This now cele-
brated round trip of the Yankee Clipper
startled the world, and while perhaps it
did not receive as much acclaim as some
previous airplane flights, still its place
in history will be lust as secure from
the standpoint of pointing the way to
the peaceful and practical use Of aero
nautlcS.
A sort of patient and unselfish willing
ness. which encourages men to depart
from beaten paths and invade unknown
realms to bring forth something new and
beneficial to mankind is indispensable
to any new enterprise, and most charac-
terlstlc Of those WHO are pioneers in
aviation. None so far have garnered any
substantial profits. But it is no reflec-
ton upon their intelligence if they have
the fortitude to carry on the ask, trium-
phant over the normal instinct for i'm
mediate profit. 'Inteligence always
stretches forth welcoming arms toward
the new and little known while instinct
wraps its legs around the venerable and
tried and endeavors not to budge.'
