Barrier, placed
If not restrained by artificial bar
riera, any overtopping of the river's
west and north, or right, bank would
send its mass of water in a flood down
a slope into the Imperial Valley. This
would inundate one of the richest val
ley, in Ihe country, the land of the
date, the avocado, cotton,, lettuce anil
fruila and melons. All this ia the
Sulton basin.
The region Is known as Talo Verde,
Coachella and Imperial Valleys. The
Imperial Valley proper comprises
about nin.OnO acre, of Irrigable 'land
In California and IWfl.OOO acres In
Mexico. All of this highly productive
area lies below tho low water level
of ihe river and much of it I. below
sea level. More than 400.000 acres
in California anil 170,0011 acres In
.Mexico are cultivated. Water is di
verted for irrigation from Mookwond
heading, about a mile upstream from
the International Houndary. running
through a canal known aa Alamo Riv
er through Mexican territory and hack
to the California side.
Valley Protected
The valley first wa. protected from
flondwnters by headwaters of the canal
half is irrigated.
The flood menace increased each
year owing to the enormous deposit
of silt in the river bed, which raises
its level annually.

-With the Right Oil
What is the right oil? Not
a matter of opinion, nor of
. price But one of selected
crude, modern facilities, and
careful refining.
An example of this is
Aristo Motor Oil. It is
made with quality as the
only consideration. Yet
its price is almost half that
of eastern oils.
The reason for this is
simple: Aristo does not
carry excessive freight
costs from the east. It is
refined in California, from
western crude of select
quality. And it benefits
by volume production.
Aristo combats the for
mation of carbon. It is an
unexcelled lubricant.
If, in fact, a better lub.
ricant were possible re
gardless of price it would
be made by theUnion Oil
Company of California.
Aristo is sold wherever
you see the Union Oil
sign. At Union Oil ser
vice stations, and at in
dependent dealers of the
first class everywhere.
