Miller was equally amazed and ap

hobble skirts, electric phaetons, au

and electric street cars.
The hobble skirt more than any
other one thing got Miller's goat. A

who had him in tow, to save him from
apoplexy or insanity at the sights he
saw. Anything like that 20 years OF

Miller studied mathematics in his
later years in prison and is now a
surveyor. He has a set of surveyors

coUNDS LIKE SUMNER

~ Every year Imperial Valley sends
out a large delegation of people for
summer vacations, and each year the
many resorts present their invitations
to the people of the valley through ,ne
columns of the Press. Today these
invitations are presented for the first
time this season, and it is very appar-
ent from the number of the small ao-
Yertisements presented that Imperial
Valley has been heard from.
1t has been estimated that last year
this valley spent 100000 on vaca-
tions, with a probability that that
amount will be greatly exceeded this
year because of the increased pros
perity of the people.
And hence it is that readers of the
Press, when they come to plan their
vacations, will find a big advantage III
consulting these advertisements, COW
ering, as they do, many delightful
places in city. country, mountain and
seaside. In the long list there are
places to suit every taste and every
pocketbook.

Nor are there any parts OF which
adjustment is frequently necessary to

TO varying conditions in the everyday
use Of a cream separator.
There is no need to fit and adjust
parts to get them together right They
are so made that they cannot help 90

ings are easy to replace. There are
NO complicated springs, keys, ball bear
ings or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust.

assemble a modern De Laval machine
Gown TO tine last part within few
minutes and then reassemble II again
rs quickly This is something which
cannot be done outside shop with
amy other separator.
The only way TO properly understand
