The Progressive Merchants of Ell Centre Invite Your Patronage
and Urge You to Try Home Stores First

COMES FROM THE VERY SAME
MARKETS AS THAT FOUND IN
THE LARGER CITIES. If the par
ticular article you want is not in stock
you will find the home merchant par
ticularly anxious and willing to get it
for you, so there's no reason in the
world that you cannot get anything you
demand right here at home.
Give the home merchant the first
chance and you will find you can buy
here anything you can buy elsewhere
And you can buy it just as cheap, too,
Fair and honest comparison will gen.
orally prove that you have saved mon
ey. An article apparently cheaper in
price is usually inferior in quality.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-03-21

Ell Centro is today an excellent mar.
ket place. 1t compares favorably with
many cities of twice the size. From the
enterprising merchants back Of this
campaign you can secure most any ar
ticle you may desire. They carry in
stock everything their trade demands,
and the few things that may not be-in
stock will be promptly supplied if the
demand is made. They sell at closer
margins than the big city stores can,
smaller overhead expense making this
possible. If flaw or defect is found,
you will always find the home mer-
chant, your neighbor, perhaps, more
willing and anxious to rectify same
than the big city merchant who never

expects to see you again.
Ell Centro stores will undoubtedly
surprise you. If you are not in the
habit Of visiting and patronizing home
stores probably the first surprise you
meet will be the wide range Of choice
offered you. You will realize that IN
most lines at least, the large city stocks
surpass the home stores in quantity
only and that local dealers are offering
you just about the same variety from
which to select. Ell Centre merchants
are enterprising. They keep in close
touch with the markets. They know
what is in vogue elsewhere and bring
it to here. AND THE MERCHAN.

RULES FOR MEASURING HAY

In the measurement of hay there are
two points to be considered. These are
the number of cubic feet required 10
make one ton and the method of deter
mining the number of cubic feet in the
stack.
The following table gives the num-
Der of cubic feet required to make Que
ton of alfalfa at various seasons OF
settling, these figures being accepted as
fair amounts to allow for ton.
Number of days Number of cubic
in stack. feet per ton.
80 $50
90 512
12O 4s5
Late winter. 45O
Native hay packs more easily, the
usual figure being 422 cubic feet for
one ton in a well settled stack.
There are three general methods of
arriving at the number of cubic feet
in the stack. All three methods re-
quire the width, length, and over meas
urement. The latter is the distance
from the ground on one side, straight
over the top to the ground on the other
side. Where stacks are irregular, it is
best to secure a number of measure
ments for the width and length and
the over-measurement, and use the aver
age.
RULE lone fourth of the "over"
multiplied by the width, then multiply
by the length and divided by the re-
quired number of cubic feet to make
one ton. This rule gives accurate, fig
ures on small, squat stacks when the
width is from one-third to one-half Of
the Cover"
Last fall the Experiment station
bought 1856 tons by the use of this
rule, and when weighed out 1t weighed
9S.1s tons.
RULE II. Colorado Rule)-subtract
the width from the over. Multiply one
half tho result by the width; multiply
the product by the length; divide by

MAN SHOWS JOY AT DRAFT
BY DRINK; BODY IN MORoBE

Camp Grant, Rockford, ILL.,, Sept. 23
When his number was drawn among
the early ones he announced che was
going to war His friends began to
buy him drinks. He was an iceman
and every saloonkeeper on his route
bought" every time he appeared. -
When he was called before his div.
ision board he was so hilariously intox.
icated he was told to come again 9
few days later. On his second visit
he was examined and accepted.
That called for "parties' from his
friends. They were glorious ones that
continued until he was ordered to
Camp Grant. Then all limits were ex
ceeded. His friends went home after
putting him on the train with a big
bottle for company. He was carried
from the train when it reached here
merrily, noisily drunk. His friends
would have laughed themselves sick
watching him.
But tonight his body lies in the tenn.
porary morgue of Camp Grant. 1t i.
waiting for his friends.
If it had not been for them and
liquor he would have been Private Just
Anderson of the ambulance train. He
would have driven an ambulance in
France. The official records show he
died, "not in the lines of duty" but
that his death was caused "by the sol
dier's misconduct.
1t was delirium tremens.
Anderson g is an extreme case, but
officers of the national army point to
it now as indicative of what friend.
of the selected men should not do TO,
