CLUES FINANCES.

The Woman's Improvement Club of Calexico feels that the people of Cal exico and vicinity have been so gen. erous in it's support of the club through its series of entertainments it has given during the year that a report of the years work just com pleted and beginning on the new might be of interest. The club is ex- ceedingly grateful as the source of income is limited to the dues of the 3S members of s1 per quarter isn't enough to carry on the public work the club has taken up. The expense of the reading room for rent amounts to $12O per year; lights paid $24.25; partition between rest room and living room s15.60; for incidentals $16.75; book case for reading room $14.5O; making total of expense $191.1O. There was $17.65 donated to the read ing room during the year. The school grounds committee has done a splendid work and has spent for plants and trees to beautify school grounds $42.25; for arbor $47.5O, hay ing balance of $21.75 on hand to begin a fund for another which is needed right away, making their funds S111.5O for the year. There was $54.4O to the credit of this committee at the beginning of the years work. The club still has in it's general funds S117.S7 to carry through three months summer. As the running expenses are about $30 per month the club ex- poets to take up the work in the fall in very good standing The club has made during the year and up to Sep tember this year including dues $366.O7.

TO SAN OIEGO'S CREDIT
Illustration of Fact That Bay City Wishes to Treat Imperial Valley
 As Near Neiehbor.

The San Diego Union reproduces an article from the Imperial Valley Press on "The Pocketbook Test re- ferring to the financing of the Valleys cotton industry and the help received from San Diego when Los Angeles fi- nanciers turned down the applications for help. In comment the Union says:
 "It is to the credit of both the en- terprise and public spirit of the bank CTS of San Diego that they did not hesitate to grant the request of the Imperial Valley cotton growers to A. nance their industry. It seems strange, however, that the opportu- nifty of which the San Diego bankers availed themselves, was not seized by their brethren elsewhere, to whom the first appeal was made. The latter had equal facilities for satisfying them selves that cotton raising in the Inn perial Valley ceased to be an experi- ment nearly year ago. The results of last seasons planting demonstrated that cotton can be grown on a con- mercial scale in the valley, that it can be produced there in larger quan- tity to the acre than in many of the most successful cotton localities of the south, and finally that it is safe and profitable crop. In the southern states, in like conditions, there would be no hesitation on the part of banks to advance funds. But the San Fran cisco and Los Angeles financiers re- fused to aid the Imperial cotton grow CTS or offered aid on terms that could not be accepted with advantage. So application was made to San Diego, and the banks here arranged matters in no time.
 That the friendly spirit that was thus displayed will do much to in crease the good feeling between this city and the Imperial country, will not be doubted.
 The simple truth is that San Diego which in present conditions can have only moderate business dealings with the valley, did for it that which the cities that have it's trade and are con- stantly drumming for more, would not do. The incident is another illustra- tion of the fact that San Diego wishes to treat Imperial Valley as it's near neighbor even during the interval that must elapse before the two localities will be brought in close touch by rail It is also an illustration of the fact that this city's banks, which did not issue dollar in script during the panic of 1907, do not permit the spirit of conservatism that stood them in so good stead during that dark time, to blind them to legitimate banking enterprises"

REGISTER BUSINESS GROWS.

From July 1. 1909, to July l, 1910, Ihe El Centro postoffice registered 2787 letters and parcels, collecting Ices therefor to the amount of $242.2O. This registration included 1862 do- nestle first class letters or parcels, on which the fees were 186.48; twen- ty-nine official free pieces; 232 pieces entitled to free distribution; PA do- nestle parcels. bringing fees of s22. 20; ; s35 foreign letters, on which the fees were $S302, and five foreign parcels, with fee of fifty cents. This is a heavy increase over the register bus mess of the proceeding year. Other departments of the local postoffice show a growth that will easily place 1t in the list of second class offices this year.

refused to go on the cars, is con-
demned by many Instead of doing that

The question of feeding the stricken

for the supply of rice. The water of

THREE-LEGGED CAT SCRAPPER
Dorchester Tabby, Whose Foot Was
Amputated, Proved Good Match
for other Felines.

Boston, Mass-"Pretty," the hand
some Angora cat belonging to Mr.. and
Mrs. Somers, ,9S Hancock street, Dor
chester, has only three legs. And the
story of how he lost his fourth leg is
interesting.
He was born with the usual number
of paws and was especially nimble
and expert with them. One night, how
ever. Pretty" was run over by a
street car and his left forepaw was
crushed.
Mr.. Somers found the kitten lying
in the street helpless and brought him
into the house. It was cold night,
and It was first thought that the cats
paw was frozen. He was placed be-
side a radiator to thaw out.
When the seriousness of the injury
was learned, however. Mr.. Somers
carried Pretty to the cat hospital,
where the little leg was amputated
In a week or so Pretty" came back
home in good shape. and has since
been able to get around pretty lively
for a cat with only three legs.
He is now years old, Is very af'
fectionate, and especially fond of the
youthful son of Mr.. and Mrs. Somers.
Pretty" keeps Jealous guard over
young William Somers. and will allow
no other cats or dogs to approach him
Pretty" Is also a great scrapper
and, even with his missing paw, is
more than a match for other felines
with the usual number.
