No expense has been spared to make
this splendid big volume the stan
dard work on Panama and the
Canal.
Willis j. Abbot, the author Of this
book, spent many months in the
Canal Zone, and his intimate ac-
quaintance with officials in charge Of
the work afforded him every oppor-
tunity for gathering his facts. The
result is a full ard complete story of
the canal from its inception to its
realization, story so accurate and
comprehensive that it will ever be
referred to by those who would know
the true history of the great problem
which has at last been solved by the
skill of modern engineering.

home, every school and public insti-
tuition should have a copy Of this

VI
Get ready to take a trip to the
great Panama Canal. This does not
mean that you should pack your
travelling bag, nor will you need to
get new white serge. The clothes
you are wearing will be sufficient,
and just leave your linens where they
are now. You won't need to make
any preparations further than to see
that The Imperial Valley Press is
delivered to you daily.
The trip in question is in the shape
of great big beautiful book, filled
with word paintings as well as water
color paintings which vie with each
other for predominance, and yet para
doxically harmonic at every angle,

you all about Panama, that crooked
little neck Of land which has been
divided SO that the entire world may
be more closely united; then it fully
explains all that.is Of interest relat-

Dog Saves Master

Geneva, May 2.-Having been en-
tombed in huge avalanche, Joseph
Moser, a young Swiss of Valais, owes
his life to the sagacity Of his dog.
Both had been overwhelmed in the
big slide, but the dog managed to
get free and made his way to Moser's
home, where its peculiar behavior led
his father to summon the neighbors
and set out in search of the young
man. Piloted by the dog the party
reached the avalanche and after six
hours succeeded in extracting the
youth, who was unconscious and bare

NIGHTIES MUST MATCH
WALL PAPER IN LONDON

London, May 2.--Nightgowns to
match the wall paper and bedding,
is the latest fad Of the Futurists,
Cubists, post-Impressionists, etc, who
have turned their talents to the art
Of home decoration. The traditional
white and pale tints which have hith-
erto been exclusively used for robes
de mutt are being ousted in ultra
smart London homes by the latest lin
gerie de luxe.
just now the artistic taste is run
ming rather violently to black silk
nightgowns with pale blue ribbons in
order to match the black sheets and
pillow slips which the Cubists intro
duced a little while ago. Black, how
ever, is only suitable for women with
fair compilations, SO the brunettes are
going in for delicate shades Of brown
vivid scarlet and orange. 1t is said
that scarlet with yellow ribbons makes
a very fetching nightgown for wom-
an occupying room decorated in
red. and the fashionable lingerie es-
adjustments are turning out charm
ing nighties of violet and white, green
and white, and other combinations tc
match any complexion, wallpaper OF
bedding.

many visitors in the village and the
comments that they have made have
been of an encouraging nature. The
most encouraging reports come from
former residents of this village and
when they return and say that they are
never ashamed to say that they once
lived in Clio, it should forever silence the
pessimistic, pernicious knocker. The
business men of the village are largely
young men and they are fortunate to
be living in village that is not handi-
capped in having a large part of the
village owned by few old men as is
the case in some of the nearby towns.

AS the new Masouic Temple is near
ing completion, it seems not inappro-
pirate to call attention to it's import
ance to the community at large as well
as to the Masonic fraternity. 1t is a
splendid public convenience and dis
tinct ornament and advantage to the
village. In fact there is probably not
another village of the size of Clio in the
entire state that possesses an audi
forum as commodious and as complete
in its appointments as the one that will
be at the service of this community.
Entertainments of all kinds, conven-
tons and meetings demanding a liberal
allowance of room. can be accommo-
dated, thereby adding to the prestige of

Several of our citizens have already
been most generous in their aid, and
while we are not at liberty to give their
names we may say that three of them
have become personally responsible for
the entire steam heating system that
will at once be installed. Not everyone
can do as much, but everyone can do his
or her best and if that is done the fu-
ture of this worthy enterprise will be
assured. 1t is neither right nor proper
for anyone to endanger their personal
prosperity by contributions to any pub
lie enterprise, but any aid that can be
given without this contingency, be it
much or little, will leave the giver happy
in the consciousness of having done
something for the community, whose
collective progress and prosperity is a
very large factor in the happiness and
prosperity of each individual.
