Informality Keynote Of Entertaining.
Owing to war condition, the infor-
NAL note prevails almost entirel yin
the realm of social entertaining. The
days of society women are occupied
either at Red Cross headquarters or
at their homes knitting, packing Xmas
boxes and in the other manifold ac-
tivities that result in needed supplies
of various descriptions that find their
way to our Liberty boys. In the even
ing society folk take their relaxation
and many pleasant gatherings keep
friends in social touch and do not in
terfere with the more serious inter-
ests of the day.

Municipal Market Wanted.

A municipal market in Ell Centro
would fill long felt need. Almost
every back yard garden will supply
more vegetables than an average fam
lily needs, and yet not enough to ship
or sell in large quantities. A home
market would enable the growers to
dispose of the vegetables. With eggs,
poultry and home cooked foods, it
would seem that small beginning
might be made now. Surely nothing
of FOOD value should go to waste at
this time.
