The best known guide to married happi-

lover-by cheerfulness of disposition, pa
thence and keeping your youthful looks.
OF course great many women are handi-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which afflict her are apt to cause a sour
disposition, nervousness and beclouded
mind.
DR.. R.V. Pierce, the specialist in woman's
diseases. of Buffalo, N. Y, after long ex.
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a LIQUID extract, would help the majority
of cases. This he called DR.. Pierce's Fa-
yorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and it is put
UP in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womanly system
that he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,

cure. All he asks is fair and reasonable

BIC FORTUNES IN
IMPERIAL VALLEY
RETURN OF EXCURSION PARTY
FROM THE SOUTH
GROWING CROPS, FAT STOCK
Very Little Damage Resulted From
High Water-DeveIopme Com
pany viii Put in FIoodgates
and Build a Levee

| Last week nearly 100 residents of Los
Angeles, also EASTERN people, visited
the Imperial valley, going on a special
train for the two days trip. Represen-
tatives of the Imperial Valley Land
company accompanied the party and
all returned pleased with the appear
ance of the growing crops and the
great possibilities of the fruitful
valley.
The visitors found the barley crop in
the valley now maturing in fine condi-
tion. The crop will yield, it is claimed,
twenty to twenty five sacks an acre,
except where the grain was fed gener-
ously to the cattle.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
water of the colorado river had risen
above the thrty-foot high water mark
three times during the past winter for
the first time since the flood season of
1891 very little damage resulted to the
Imperial valley canal system, and 1t is
now believed that there will be no
trouble from the present high water.
1t is stated that before the flood
water season of the coming year the
California Development company ex-
poets to have it's flood gates in place
and a large levee built along the
western bank of the Colorado river
that will successfully keep out all flood
water from the valley and the Salton
sink.
The people and press of the valley
now consider the government owner
ship question Il closed incident and AL
are heartily backing the companies in
their work of perfecting the canal sys
tenn and building up the business in
terests of the valley. The feeling of
confidence in the valley is practically
restored TO what it was before the COM
motion raised last year by the discus
sion of government ownership.

HESTER GARNER
FINED $40 IN COURT
GUILTY Or VIOLATING SUNDAY

LICENSE.

Because he had violated two sections
in the city ordinance adopted May 3,
1929, and providing for the closing of
saloons on Sunday Hester Garner. who
runs a bar on Second avenue. near
Twenty-third street, was fined s25 yes
terday in the police court.
In case Garner is round guilty of the
offense a second time. the law provides
that his license shall be revoked.
Garner was arrested by Policeman
Thompson, and was charged with violat-
ing two sections of the Sunday closing
law:
1. With having the shutters of his
saloon closed on Sunday.
2. With not having the door connect
ing his saloon with his restaurant suf-
fciently we'll CLOSED
Policeman Thompson's testimony salts
fed the court that Garner was guilty.
Thompson explained that he had made
the arrest in order to prevent Gamers
continued violation Of the law. He told
the court that If Garner would promise
not to violate the Sunday closing law
have the fine omitted.
Judge Feagin listened to Thompson s
suggestion and promptly rejected 1t. The
court imposed a fine of $25-the minimum
penalty-on Garner. 1t is Understood that
a repetition of the offense by Garner will
be followed by more severe punishment.
