CALIPATRIA { HAS MADE
GOOD; NO. LONGER AN
EXPERIMENT: INVESTIGA ATT.

April l, 1917, Calipatria will be
hree years. old.
This simple fact, in itself, is of 10
particular Importance. Many other
towns in the United States are thrae
years old, or, perhaps, will be on their
next birthday.
There is another fact, however, tina:
of supreme Importance to any man
Who is looking for safe investment,
and that is that no three-year-old town
iE. the state can compare with Cali
Iratria in the character of it's busi-
ress buildings and in the trade it en-
joys.
Many towns, due to mining booms,
have grown to gerater commercial
perhaps in the same pc
riod of time, but all were Of tempo
rary construction.
The average townsite company has
an eye to the "main chance" All that
interests such promoters is quick
turnover of lots, and little if any
thought is given to the appearance
CT the town.
Not so with the founders of Cali
patria..
The "main chance" with these men
was $4,000 acres of land. That is
where they expected to make "kill-
ing" to use the language of the
street. The town might truthfully te
said to have been "fad." They could,
therefore, afford to indulge certain
amount of estheticism.
Results speak for themselves. Cali
patria stands as manument to the
men who defied precedent and insist
ed that all who bought business prop
e.ty MUST erect buildings that would
be credit to the town and the North
End.
Don't you believe it would pay you
t. join forces with such men?

wonderful opportunities in and around
Calipatria, call on or address T. A.

tria Town and Farms.

TUBING VALvE.STEMS
REQUIRE GREAT CARE

/ Since the almost universal use of
lhc one-piece transversely split( tire
rms, as used on most of the mod
ern cars, the repair men in general
have often commented upon the large
number of tubes that were being pre-
sented to them for repairs because of
a small hole within the radius of an
inch or two of the valve stems.
/. An official of the Fisk Rubber Com
pany says i, is quite common prac-
tlce for motorist, in applying tube
and casing to the rim, to push the
tube valve stems through the hole
in the rim and then pull the stem
through as far as possible. The beads
CT the casing are then properly seat
ed on the rim and it is locked and
the air pressure put in the tube FOR
Initiating.
By pulling the valve stem all the
way through in the manner above
mentioned the vale spreader on the
tube is tilted up on the casing bead in
such manner that the portion of the
tube is pinched between the spreader
and the bead and as soon as air IS
applied the tube, under pressure, en-
Geavors to loosen itself from the
spreader and beads. The reseult is a
small hole in the tube.
Often the valve stem does not point
straight and the motorist in endeav-
cring to straighten it pinches the tube
as mentioned above.
To avoid pinching tube in this
way the motorist should proceed as
follows:
Place the tube in the casing, initiate
the tube with just enough air to round
il out so as to take on the shape OF
the casing, apply casing to rim by
putting valve stem through the hole
in the rim, but do not pull it through;
Just stick the end through the hole.
If it comes through any further, push
i. back so that when you place the
tire on the rim the wave stem
spreader will be clear Of the tire
beads and avoid pinching the tube at
this point. The main point in trying
to avoid pinching the tube is to make
sure that the valve stem is pushed
back as far as possible when applying
tie casing to the rim.
