Shipments Show Increase.

That Calipatria is steadily and sub
stantially growing and forging ahead
is shown by comparison Of the ship
ments and earnings Of the Southern
Pacific Company at their station at
Calipatria, for November, 1916, over
November, 1915.
G. c. Brown, station agent at Cali
patria, is authority for the statement
that in November, 1915, thirty-six car
loads of freight were received and ten
carloads shipped out, making total
for this month of forty-siX cars,
against which November, 1916, shows
that 107 cars were received and 50
cars shipped out, making a total of
cars handled in Calipatria for Novem-
Der of this year Of 142, against 46
for the same month in 1916. In the
first fifteen days in December Of this
year more cars were handled in and
out of Calipatria than during the en-
tire month of December, 1915.
This increase in car shipments was
largely due to the great number Of
cattle and sheep shipped into the val
ley from Arizona, Utah and Nevada
for feeding, all of which viii be for
outgoing shipment when ready for the
market. The large acreage planted
to barley by the Balfour-Guthrie Com
pany, Lee Little, ]. w. Yocum and
many similar tracts, furnish an abun-
dance of feed for both cattle and
sheep in this territory.

The big Studebaker touring car
which will be given away by The
Press on January 20 is expected to
arrive in Ell Centro this week, for it
left the factory on December 8 and
would doubtless have arrived earlier
except for the Christmas rush. The
car is the latest model seven-passen-
ger Studebaker, similar to those which
are giving excellent service on some
of the stage Ines, and winch have
gained a reputation for power and
merit which place them in class by
themselves as the leaders of the $1,000
price cars.
A feature which Studebaker own
ers appreciate, is the superior repair
facilities given by the Studebaker peo-
pie, who maintain well equipped serv-
ice stations and make regular inspec-
tions of cars sold, giving advice and
assistance to Studebaker owners which
materially add to the life of the car.

 CALLS FOR SIMPLE cOLORS.

 Public to Recognize the Fact.

Washington, Feb. 21 = Clothing manufacturers of the United States are so short of dyestuffs that a na- tion- wide appeal is to be made to the publis to recognize the fact that it must content itself with the simplest colors in apparel. This was announc- ed today at the department of com merce after a conference between de- partInent officials and officers of the National Association of Clothiers. The departments statement said:
 Tn spite of the fact that domestic manufacturers of dyestuffs are now producing more dyestuff materials than ever before and though their out put is growing, the production is scarcely sufficient as yet to meet more than one half of the demand and the variety of Colors now produced by the domestic manufacturers is limited. A very large proportion of the domestic output consists of blacks and the more easily manufactured colors.
 "It should be recognized for the present that the grades of colors which heretofore have existed uni- versally and have been demanded by the consuming public in the United States cannot now always be obtain ed; and that in spite of every effort manufacturers of clothing and tex tiles are unable to supply the same quality of material which they furn- ished prior to the European war;
