NEW MEMBERS

Because of the recrcational needs
of these particular troops it was
felt that many others would like to
join the organization and become
full-fledged members of the Imper-
ial Desert Corps.
The special service officer of the
desert area, Capt. Glenn Morris
made possible the visit and the
formation of this organization of
charming girls" said Mrs. Deneen,
and under the outstanding leader
ship of Mrs. Donohue, the activi-
ties of this group will become widely
known"
Girls who wish to apply for men,
bership in the corps should COM
municate with Mrs. Donohue, and
those who plan to attend next Sat-
urdays party must inform Mrs.
Donohue by Thursday.

100000 in Crops Go
Into First Stage i'm i. v.

A potential $10,OO0,OOO worth of
vegetable crops was being planted
into Imperial Valleys soil Monday
and already tomato plants which
will bear over $1,00O,0O0 worth of
products were breaking the earth
in their struggle to reach maturity.
Lettuce, the largest money-mak-
ing crop of the produce industry
built up here, is being planted now
tas well as carrots, fall peas, squash,
broccoli and many other vegetables
of the truck variety.
AgriculturiSts pcedict that the
lettuce acreage may be slightly
higher this year than it's aver
age of 10000 acres Carrots, anoth-
er important crop here, are also
due fer a boost in acreage.

the White House, or to the Presi-
dents public life anywhere. The
conditions would have to be clearly
understood by the people, because
there are two entirely different sit
uations to be faced"
A limit of $4,000 a year on in
diVidual incomes, after the pay
ment of all taxes, was one of the
seven points of President Roose-
velt'S original anti-inflation pro-
gram. But both the house and
senate committees considering the
pending tax bill have ignored the
suggestion.
Mrs. Roosevelt said the question
of her correspondent about how
the White House would be run if
the Presidents salary were limited
to $4,000 was rather foolish, be-
cause the White House is not the
property Cf any private individual v
1T belongs to the people of the
United States and those who live
in it are there only temporarily"
she wrote such hospitality as is
dispensed there, is the hospitality of
a great nation. Therefore, it is
impossible to discuss adjusting life
in the White House as one would
adjust life in ones own home
She said she could easily adjust
her own life in her own home to
an income of 5000 a year; that it
can easily be so arranged that
can live on whatever 1 have"
She then pointed out that con-
greSs pays and prescribes the num-
her of White House employees, pro-
vides for repairs, for the general up
keep and official entertainment.
THE President must pay for all
the food eaten by everybody in the
White House, except on official oc-
casions, and that is sometimes
pretty expensive bill she said.

may kill or damage thousands of
dollars worth of crops, depending
on its severity--planting of flax

encouragement of flax growers is
expected to send the size of the
crop here to an all-time high.
The shortage of labor caused by
the entrance cf many farm laborers

The Oakland High School basket
GERS played host to Central Highs

last Thursday. This was the second of
a two-game series. Mel Henry's Gag
ers were in top form when they ran
on the floor, but were skillfully
checked by Oakland's impregnable
zone defense"
In the first quarter Oakland got
the tip-off and lost to Central, who
in turn marched down the floor to
ply their trade under Oakland's bas-
ket. The first quarter, hard fought,
ended 40 for Central.
Oakland succeeded in holding Cen
trail fairly well during the second
quarter and to make a show for them
selves. However, Ccntra's superior
passing attack overbalanced the two
and Central led at the half, 1927.
Midway in the third quarter at the
advice of Mel Henry, Central coach,
the Central quint began freezing the
ball. Oakland fought hard for the
ball and at times throughout the rest
of the half scored, but Central was
freezing the ball fairly successfully
Snyder was high man for Oakland
with nine points. Ford, with one field
goal, was second for Oakland
Thomas and Johnson led the Win
ming Coney boys in scoring, racking
