The REQ the Fifth, 1.-THE Incompatible Four"

The BEST Thing
About REQ Cars
1T WOULD BE DIFFICULT to say just
what is "the best thing" about REQ automo-
biles and REQ motor trucks.
ONE WOULD SAY "the service that goes
with every REQ" Another would say uni
form excellence" is "the best thing" about
Reos
BUT WE WOULD SAY without seconds
hesitation that of the best things is the
fact that every REQ model is, long has been,
and long will be, standard
FOR 1T DOESN'T MATTER when you buy
Reo-in season out-ths year, last year
or next year-you have a car that is stand
ard and the depreciation of which is less than
that of any other automobile of similar price
or passenger capacity.
YOU'D SAY REQ QUALITY was probably
the best thing" about Reos-and Of course,
there's no gainsaying that
REQ QUALITY at REQ prices is universally
recognized as "The Gold Standard of
Values"
THAT is THE BASIS of REQ prosperity,
REQ demand and REQ reputation, of course.
BUT OTHERS MAKE good cars-in spots.
BY fits and starts it were. This year
good model last year, one they are not so
proud of; and next year-who knows
THERE'S so LITTLE consistency in the
past performances of most of them, none
can predict the future with any degree of
accuracy.
BUT REOS RUN TRUE TO FORM always.
If it's REQ then it's good car-no matter
what year it was made
IF IT'S REQ there's always a fixed value
for it in the new, or in the used car" market.
IS 1T A NEW REO-it will command pre-
MUM. "You were lucky to get Reo' is an
expression owner hears frequently
FOR EVERYBODY KNOWS that the de-
nand for Reos is always greater than the
factory output-always has been.
is 1T A 1911 MODEL-any dealer will tell
you its present value-and they won't differ
five per cent in their estimates.
THAT'S THE REMARKABLE difference
between Reos and other cars-with only one
exception. And that isn't competitor of
REQ!
CONSIDER THIS most carefully in your
lection of a car-this fact, that every REQ
model is standard from season to season.
IT is A STAPLE, not novelty, you buy.
when you buy REQ.
AND IF YOU DO have to wait few days for
REQ, whereas you get other makes
right off the floor-remember there's rea-
son. and that reason is the best possible rea-
son why you should select REQ for yours.
1T MEANS MONEY in pocket for you in
years to come-as well satisfaction from

L. C.. Seibert, who knows all there
il to know about cantaloupes, said to-
day that the situation in the county
is most encouraging, while eastern
market conditions give promise of a
most successful year.
The acreage in the valley this year
is between 8,4OO and 8,5OO-about the
same as last year, and he expects the
shipments to run to from $500 to
5000 cars, first express shipments be-
ing about on normal time, or May 20,
with carload shipments to start the
last of May.
The growers will have the assistance
of state inspector to enforce the
standardization law, while the Depart
ment of Agriculture is expected to
send a chemist to endeavor to figure
out sugar content Standardization
for guidance in packing cantaloupes
IN the future. Then there will be a
representative of the Office of Mar

kets of the Agricultural Department,
to see to the wide distribution of the
crop and guard the" shippers and
growers from the loss that comes
through unequal distribution.
But Mr. Seibert says the greatesi
benefit will come this year from BET
ter cooperation in handling the fruit
to guarantee higher quality. Here
tofore many Of the melons picked il
the morning have lain all day in the
sun, being only put under ice at night
That made it necessary to pick the
fruit in a green condition that did
hot permit of serving the consumers
in the East with the highest grade
product.
! This year the fruit will be picked
liper than ever before and will be inn
rlediately rushed to the packing house
and put under ice, and there should be
an immense improvement in the quail
ity as it is served to the consumers
throughout the country.

Imperial a Battle Scene
Over the City Election

T. ply of labor on the cotton ranches in
Lower California, is the main object
of meeting Of the members of the
Lower California Agricultural Asso-
clifton, which has been called by Sec
retary A. S. Burdette for Saturday
afternoon at 2 o'clock at the offices
of T. P. DAILY.
It is believed that relief is in sight
as far as the labor situation is con-
cerned and the meeting promises to
be of prime importance, as the labor
situation is one which is meaning
much to the ranchers this year.
: The board of directors Of the asso-
citation have gone over the situation
thoroughly during the past week and
will have a plan to submit to the
members, but this plan is still held in
abeyance, as far as the public is con-
cerned, until the members have had
time to discuss it.
1t is believed that practically full
membership will attend. Secretary
Burdette reports encouragingly for
the association on the question of
membership. At a recent meeting
campaign to secure every rancher
in Baia California as members of the
association was inaugurated and the
results are being felt, states the Sec
ietary.
The campaign will be continued
through a personal effort of the pres
ent membership of the association.

Just such simple gowns as this one are needed in every woman's ward- robe. It is a comfortable model, a smart model and at the same time an essentially simple model. It can be worn, in the morning whatever the days tasks may be, and it always makes a good effect while there are no frills to be disturbing. It is perhaps especially well adapted to the wash. able materials which wise women wear at all seasons of the year. Linen and linon, gingham and chambray and ma terials of such sort all suggest them selves at once with perhaps lawn or dimity for later use. By using high straight collar in place of the round one and sleeves to the wrists, the costume can be converted to nurses use so that it serves two different purposes and each equally well. Included in the pattern is cap which the nurse will like. For her, ,thegownwould ofcoursebe made of linen or some similar material. For the home woman white is good for white washes so perfectly it is by no means an extravaganza and white cot ton gabardine is fashionable. The skirt is in six pieces, the front and back gores forming box plaits. The simple blouse shows plait over each shoul- der that provides becoming fullness.
 For the medium size will be needed, 7M yards of material 27 inches wide, 715 yards 36 or 5 yards A with 5s of a yard 3o or A for the cap.
 The May Manton pattern 8o5S is cut in sizes from 34 to A bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.
