Selling Whole Milk kProving Profitable
to the Dairymen Around EI Centr0

The Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc, started
a deal in dairying in the Valley when 1t began
last February to buy whole milk. 1t was an expert
ment with and nearly everyone advised that Whole
milk could not be handled through the summer
months.
"The proof Of the pudding is in the eating" IS
an old saying. We have given the whole milk bus-
most thorough trial and found that Tor gen
eral quality and easy handling the Imperial valley
furnish as good whole milk as any other section
of California.
Now we are ready 70 back up our Judgment IN
this matter by making a price to the farmers tnat
will mean more money for milk than before
In handling whole milk, cost of hauling is an I'M
portant factor which must be considered. Our pur-
chases for the present must therefore be confined to
an area around Ell Centre within reasonable hauling
distance.
Beginning September 1st, our prices will be as
follows:
Whole Milk seven cents over Los Angeles quota
tions.
Sweet Cream three cents over Los Angeles quo
tations. a@sss lM&a Sa@ fe~s
Sour Cream one cent over Los Angeles quota
tions.
The whole question of price is based on quality.
From whole milk and sweet cream, can make the
best butter turned out in California. Good butter
increases the consumption We have found an in
crease of as much as 35 per cent where we have re-
placed poor butter with the kind of butter we can
make from Imperial Valley whole milk and sweet
cream.
Imperial Valley farmers cannot afford to turn
down this opportunity to make more profits. The
Imperial Valley Creamery Co., Inc. has given you
this opportunity and we ask your patronage.

THE STONE IN THE ROAD

A stone in the road
At which the farmer frowned.

The shaft gave way and dropped;

Now held the wagon fast
The stone the farmer cursed

Great Value of an
Alfalfa Meal Mill

One of our main crops is alfalfa.
with more land in cultivation each
year there will be more and more al
falfa raised.
Our location is too far from market
and too much hampered by lack of
railroad competition to admit of ship
ping the raw product long distances.
While stock raising is increasing,
and limited amount of additional
feeding can be expected, there does
not promise to be enough feeding to
create strong market demand at
home, and if there appears to be an
oversupply. the prices will be low.
The alfalfa mill at Ordway last year
ground up $4,000 tons, jumping to that
figure from $4,000 tons the year be-
fore, and the demand for the ground
product is said to be practically un-
limited.
That amount of alfalfa ground into
meal and marketed each year would
mean from 100000 to 100000 to our
farmers. and would so reduce the
amount raised locally as to insure
better prices for the balance OF the
crop.
This is one of the little factory
matters that should be looked into,
for II is important to every grower Of
alfalfa in this district. We must do
something to make our markets. This
seems to be one of the opportunities.

Paradox Road
Should Be Built

Those best acquainted with the
country and its road possibilities, say
there would be no great difficulty in
making road down the other incline
from the Western end of the Taba-
gauche basin, where much of it would
be along the sunny slope and therefore
more easy to keep open in the winter.
With roads already open to Twen-
ty-Five-Mile station. it is believed
that such a cutoff could be taken ad-
vantage of and a good public highway
obtained into the Paradox country.
Such a road would mean the open
ing up to Delta of more than twice
its present trade territory and would
make it a distributing post for $50
miles of territory lying to its south
west.
An advantage of this kind gave to
Kansas City, Wichita and Denver their
start in earlier days of pioneer history,
and enabled them to become cities.
To possibly lesser extent it affords
to Delta the same class of opportun-
ity. The advantages thus to be gained
would mean vastly more than the
building of a sugar factory or even
the present opening up of our coal
fields.
Delta is acknowledged to be the
natural outlet for all of the Paradox
country, and that section of the state
is going to be some country in the
very near future
Our people should get to work with
the Highway Commission on this mat
ter. and get together themselves. The
Paradox country is entitled to an out
let without having to go two hundred
miles around by Robin Hoods barn,
and Delta is entitled to the road

A letter received in Delta this week
reported that A. E. Carlton, supposed
to be at the head of the sugar factory
company that is to erect the Delta
factory, had just returned from New
York City. and that he had been sue
cessful in pulling off one of the big
gest deals known to Colorado's local
history. This is regarded as applying
to the sugar company deal and implies
that the Delta factory is now a sure
go-not only the factory, but the num-
erous other important plans of the
company in which this city will have
a very large interest.

School Tax Question

1909. The fact is, so near as your COM
mittee can learn, that instead of a per-
centage of decrease for the operation
of the schools in 1916, there is a
marked increase in the same, although
there has been a decrease in the num-
ber of pupils of over 200 in three
years.
We will add further that on the
evening of March 27th, this commit
tee made an appointment with the
secretary of our school board to meet
at his office to ger certain information
for publication, and the secretary was
very kind, and, we believe, anxious to
give us any information that he could.
He frankly admitted that he had no
books or records whatever of the Of
flee prior to May 10, 1915; that his
predecessor left him no record to go
by. The committee believes the
records of the school board for the
last several years are missing.
We also beg to call to the minds of
our taxpayers that it is costing us
practically one-half as much to operate
school District No. l as it does to
maintain and operate the entire coun-
ty Of Delta. We are unable to explain
why a board of representative direc-
tors elected by the people of this dis
trict, and who are spending nearly
$40 10000 a year of our money, have
seen fit to prepare a statement that
is so misleading and so evasive of the
real conditions that exist and to have
the same published for the careful
study of everyone interested in our
schools. We do not wonder that the
article was not signed. and do not
blame anyone for Withholding sigma
lures to an article of that nature.
In closing, we will state that if We
have misquoted any figures, or made
any statements that are not substan-
TALLY true, if the board of directors
will kindly call our attention to it we
will write an apology and ask our kind
editors to have the same published in
pex, weeks paper.

1.-THE MAsQUERADERs"

In the role of Dulcie, the central character of the internationally fam ous play, "The Masqueraders." which plays at the Royal today and tomor- row, beautiful Hazel Dawn does the most remarkable work of her career. In this absorbing romance of conflict ing love, the noted dramatist has achieved the impossible in the logical co-mingling of comedy and drama. The gay and delightful girl who auctions of a kiss for charity. tires of her life as a barmaid and marries a wealthy man. only to find that he is a drunkard and a rogue. Trial and tribulation fol low rapidly upon each other, culminat- ing in a tensely dramatic situation in which her husband makes her the stake at cards against the fortune of the man who really loves her.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look years younger! Use Grand mcther's recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur and nobody will know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded. gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 5O-cent hottie of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old preparation. improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 4 well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after anoth- CT application or two it becomes beau tifully dark and glossy.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youth ful appearance. 1t is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention Of disease.
