REPUBLICANS TO
SELECT DELEGATES

Methods of selecting delegates to 9
congressional conference will be dis
cussed at meeting of the Republican
county central committee to be held
at Ell Centro next Saturday afternoon
at 2:3O o'clock. The congressional
conference committee, at recent
meeting at Riverside, recommended
the meeting of conference or con-
vention some time after the meeting
of the Republican national convention
at Chicago, to discuss the question Of
Republican candidate from the Elev-
enth district of California.
One plan for selection of delegates
to the conference included a caucus or
precinct conference, to be held in each
precinct, at which Republican electors
only could have vote or voice.
This precinct conference would choose
certain number of delegates to a
county conference, which in turn would
select the required number of dele
gates to the congressional conference.
A second plan includes so-called
primary, held at the same time as the
presidential primary, at which dele
gates to the congressional conference
would be chosen. Among the sugges-
tions made at the meeting of the
conference committee was one that at
the causus or primary electors be Civ
en- chance for vote for second or
third choices for representative.
H. N. Dyke, secretary of the county
central committee, is urging that Re-
publicans of Imperial county consider
the matters outlined and express their
preference as to plan prior to the
meeting of the central committee next
Saturday, so that some active steps
may be taken toard developing the
system of selecting delegates that will

PRESBYTERIANS HOLD
ANNUAL MEETING

The annual congregational meeting
of the First Presbyterian church, Ell
Centro, was held at the church on the
evening of March 20.
The reports of the several depart
ments of the church work-the Sun

the Guild-all gave evidence of in
creasing membership and strength,
adding to the spiritual life of the
church. Though the church was with
out a pastor for more than half of
the year, 25 were admitted into men,
bership and the communion service
on Sunday gives promise of a still
further addition.
Rev. Stevenson, the pastor, report
ed that during the year just ended
S61.25 had been paid out for home
missions, $1,000 for foreign missions
and $95.50 for the advancement of
the temperance cause.

The plan is outlined in the following

"To the Poultrymen Of California
It has been frequently represented tc
the 'state market director that pres
ent methods of marketing poultry and
eggs are unsatisfactory to producers
1t is claimed by many whose commu-
nications are on file in this office that
market quotations are arbitrarily
fixed; that in many cases excessive
shrinkage is reported; that payment
is unnecessarily deferred, and that the
return of coops and cases is too slow
and that in many cases they are re-
turned in bad order.
"After number of conferences with
leading poultrymen in this part of the
state, have recommended that each
district should organize local poul-
trymen's association, and that the To-
Gals of the entire state should be fed
Grated into a strong central marketing
organization. The objective should be
an organization with a sufficient paid
up capital stock to warrant a liberal
banking credit; the members to agree
to enter into contract with the as
sociation to market their poultry and
eggs for at least three years, with an
option on the part of the association
for two additional years.

penalty as liquidated damages to the

certain percentage (to be agreed up
on) of the entire poultry industry of
the state is contracted for under SIM
liar terms.
