"Sop Up The; Gravy"
Marvin Jones Urges

"Sop up the gravy and squeeze
the grapefruit dry is the appeal
of Marvin Jones, War Food Ad-
ministrator, who believes it is
crime during wartime to sacrifice
food on the altar of dainty table
manners.
Well, We do not know what Mrs
Post will have to say about this,
but Mr.. Jones goes on to say that
perhaps 20 per cent. of the coun-
try's food is being wasted, and con-
tributed these additional ideas:
''Pick up the bones in your fin
gers in order to get all the meat
there is, and tip the soup bowl to
get the last spoonful" Investiga-
tions of city garbage collections
show, Mr.. Jones said in radiol
speech, that 255 pounds of food perl
person is thrown away annually.

Salton Sea Rise
Slight, Says

/ Salton Sea, that salt water body
that lends fame to Imperial Valley,
has risen six and one-half feet
in six years.
Figures released by w. E. Hartzo3,
superintendent of water distribu-
ton and drainage construction, in
dicated that the level has risen
four -tenths of a foot the past
year.
On March /, 1893, the elevation
was a minus 246.3 feet or 246.8 feet
below sea level. On March l, 1913,
it was 240.7 feet below sea level
or rise in five years of 81 feet.
The data revealed that waste
water flowing into the sea from
the canal system decreased nearly
/ fifty per cent during the first five
year period, while waste water
from the waste bitches and drain
age systems increased proportion
ately during the same interval. \
/ decrease in both were noted during
the past year.
One of the remedies advanced is
/ that farmers cut their waste water
from irrigated fields TO the lowest
possible minimum as the district
has guaged the flow through the
canal system to maintain the sea
at evaporation point.

Last year the Southern Pacific
carried out of the valley more than
%. 1856 carloads of perishable crops
to markets over the nation and to
ports where they were loaded for
world battlefrontS. Already in 1914
the line has loaded and billed out
l9.l33 refrigerated cars.
66,C0o CARS
The company OWNS 5000 refrig-
Grated cars, more than half the to-
tai in the United States. but during
wartime. the movement of these
cars is dictated by the ODT in Chi
cago.
The rolling of refrigerator cars
was prorated in the valley this WIN
ter due to the inability to keep cars
ready. and it was necessary mainly
during the peak lettuce season due
also to congestion of traffic on the
nations railroads. In most cases,
however. according to w. D. Keller,
district freight agent, none of the
valley shippers was hurt by the
prorate.
ing camps in the south and SOUTH
west has neceSSitated diligent work
on the part CT the Southern Pacific,
4 especially during the winter months
when southern rails receive a great
amount of business. The valley rail
line has accomplished a great deal
/ in view o. the fact that it has stood
/ practically alone while On the east
/ ern seaboard as many as 25 rails
divide the responsibility.
PAYROLL OF $4,000
AS of December the company
/ had $4,000 employees, and since the
start OF the war had lost 14,000
to the armed forces. To replace
these 1900 experienced men the
company has been forced to employ

5000 green employees, of which the
majority are women.
A check of the rail carloadings
out of the valley in l943 showed
the following: Hay. 3237; tomatoes,

Alfalfa Mill

The promise that the Calipatria

The company has purchased six
acres on the Calipatria highway
anc as soon as the present season
is complete will erect an alfalfa
meal plant with a capacity of 15,-
900 tons.
To produce this tonnage of meal
the plant will purrhase between
$4,000 and $4,000 tons of hay and
green feed each year. The plant
when completed will employ be-
tween 35 and 40 men, operating on
a double shift, Blackburn said.
The produced meal is sole. to

Valley residents have played host
to thousands of servicemen who
were stationed in this area. They
had a tradition of hospitality and
every community in the valley lived
up to that tradition, which has
been in effect since pioneer days.
Everybody tried to make the
servicemen welcome. Everybody
tried TO make them feel at home
Everybody worKed TO make the
servicemen's sojourn in the valley
as pleasant and as convenient as
possible.
OPEN CANTEENS
Every town and most of the ham
lets had some sort of canteen for
the servicemen. The men provided
the quarters where the canteens
were established. The womenfolk
baked the cake and cookies, made
the coffee and lemonade, and
served the food to hundreds of
men from every branch OF the
service. Letters and messages of ap-
probation and thanks for this cam
teen service were received in the
various valley towns from all parts
of the world. The men did not for
get the valleys famed hospitality
They still remember, no matter in
what remote section of the world
they may be fighting for Uncle
Sam.
The Red Gross took an active
part as always, committees plan
ming dances and entertainment
for the men. They enlisted the
girls and young women of the COM
munities to attend the carefully
chaperoned dances held regularly
under Red Cross supervision.
One of the most popular features
is the practice so many residents
have of taking servicemen into
their homes, serving them home
cooked meals and inviting them to
stay for the night when in the
towns on overnight leave The
servicemen always expressed their
appreciation for the privilege of
spending even a short time in
home and having the chance to
be with Pop, Nom and the young
sters. 1t helped them forget their
inconsistencies for a while.

Ronkin Scores Hit

Hon., John Rankin, Tupelo, deserves a laurel wreath
for the fight he personally has made in the nations capital
for preserving the constitutional rights of states in pre-
scribing the qualifications of electors as prescribed by our
constitution. es sff9t sF
Congressman Rankin has taken the lead In the House
in Washington against what he CALI. the unconstitutional
bob-tailed ballot soldiers voting monstrusity." He is not
trying TO keep the soldiers from voting. Far from it. He
is trying to see to it that. each of them il allowed to- vote
not only for president and vice-president but for every
other office, state and county. &4@ ht
The ballot they are now trying to cram down the
throats of Congress is described by Rep. Rankin as q blank
bob-tailed ballot without a single name on it, giving no
opportunity to vote for Presidential electors as the consti-
tuition requires, nor even a chance to write their names in,
with nc. opportunity to vote for state and county offices
disfranchisement for all the soldiers of the South because
the primary means the election here.
Because of his fight for constitutional government Mr..
Rankin has been openly and heatly cussed by PM, radical
South-hating New York newspaper, which he rightly calls
the uptown edition of the Communist Daily Worker finan-
ced, by the tax-escaping fortune of Marshall Field, III.
fM Whether we realize it or not there is at work in our
nations capital sinister influences that would take from
our states every power possible in order to weaken them
and our representative government. II these influences
are allowed to get control by the time the war has ended
our states will be in such q state that we will be able to sur
runs everything. These words may seem unbelievable now
but if the present trend is allowed to continue it will not be
long until it is apparent to all the people of our country that
representative government as we have known 1t is dead.
The forces which John Rankin has been fighting these
past weeks in Congress represent the element that has no
love nor respect for the people of this country or ther
rights. They are power-crazy and will do anything to
achieve their detectives.
So we say good luck to you, John Rankin, and God keep
YOU strong in the fight you are making for preserving con+
stitutional government.
We are sick of government by order and decree.
