MOVING PICTURES
SHOW D. c. TROOPS
Departure of Last Contingent Is
Photographed at Train.

The District boys who left for Camp
Meade Saturday are already on the
high road to a place in the public
eye. They started their trip to the
Maryland camp by posing for the
moving picture camera just before
boarding the train. The camera man
also got some 'active STUFF as the
train pulled out with the boys swing
ing out of the windows cheering up
THE Girls They Left Behind Them"
The camera also caught the large
crowd that was at the Union Station
to see the boys off.
The pictures were taken by the
MANAGEMENT Of the Casino Theater
and will be shown in that play house
in conjunction with THE Stacker" a
patriotic production that is very
timely.
No doubt all the friends and rela-
tives of the boys, as well as those
who were at the station, will pay the
theater a visit during the week to see
themselves as others see them.

Reavis Salesroom Opening
to Be an Attractive Affair

said Mr. Reavis, zone is selling a ne
cessity and a profit maker in this
country, for any man who has use
for either a truck or a tractor can
very easily make for himself, not
only the purchase price, but lsat-
ing profit. One big feature Of both
the Moroland truck and the Waterloo
Boy tractor is the factor Of distillate
burning. With gasoline at 25c and
distillate at IL the saving is easily
discernible. Why" exclaimed Mr.
Reavis, whose eyes snapped with
sparkle and pride as he stood with ore
hand on the seat nf the Waterloo Boy
ractor, the center Of an interested
thIong of investigators, look at II.

cents s1.5I, plus 10 cents. plus $3.50
or, allowing wide margin and say
ing $500 per acre cost, his net saw
ing per day will lie $50, OF in fifty
day he will have saved the price of
the tractor. In fact continued MI.

the price of his tractor and Is put

chat the Moreland is also distillate
burner-not a gasoline motor adapted
to distillate, but the first distillate-
burning truck manufactured in the
United States and one of the products
which arc sold on the merit basis

A talk with the genial guiding
spirit Of the new and hustling organi-
zation reveals some very interesting
facts in the auto game--tWo catch
words that quickly arrest the atten-
ton Of interested buyers are the words

who drives ? tractor, and also the
rhrasc repeatedly used by Mr.. Rea-
Wis:

linea-the tractor, the truck and the
Haynes" meaning by that, that each
is entirely made in its own factory

hours distant from Ell Centro, with
service stations scattered everywhere
in the Valley.
The new salesroom and service sta
ton are very handsome and well ap-
pointed, the salesroom covering a
space of 44x90 feet and being
equipped with salesmen's and mechan-
les private locker rooms, toilet, etc,
and in the rear is large lot on which
tractor or truck demonstrations may
be made. At the present time the
investment on the salesroom floor
represents Approximately $4,000.

history of the Imperial Valley during
the past five years, being interested
in the exploitation and development
