Monday; Benefit of the
Red Cross
Especial to Free Press. ]

Vernon Center, March I'D. H.
Thew and Rev. B. F. Koch were in
Amboy Tuesday to confer with the
Amboy school board in reference to
the closing of the high school here
and the Vernon Center district
transporting the pupils to Amboy.
Some are in favor of this move while
others think it would be mistake
to close the upper room in the school
here although realizing that not
much can be accomplished for the
rest of the year owing to the pres
ent condition. Many parents feel
this wears work in the high school
has been a failure. There are only
nine pupils in the two years high
school class so this number could be
easily taken to and from school in
one big car.
The community auction was well
attended Monday. Sales amounted to
over $1,000. Sale of articles donated
to the Red Cross amounted to 1914.
Will Dennison and Fred Wingen,
auctioners, donated their fees to the
Red Cross, this will probably amount
to fifteen dollars more. A. G. Wilbur

GEORGE SUGDEN BACK
FROM WESTERN TRIP
Business Conditions in South.
ern California Better Than
For Several Years
From Wednesdays Daily.

George Sugden, vice president OF
the National Citizens bank, who re-
turned yesterday from two months
western trip, was impressed by the
lively business conditions in Arizona
and the coast states. He spent about
six weeks at Yuma, Arizona, and
states that the farmers are getting
good crops, and that the high prices
which they are receiving for cotton
and alfalfa are making their farm Ia
bors very profitable. Business condi-
lions in Southern California are bet
ter than they have been for several
years, owing largely to the increased
war activities said Mr. Sugden. cat
Camp Carney, near San Diego, forty
thousand soldiers are encamped, and
there are about ten thousand IN the
naval camp at Balboa Park, San Di-
ego. There are also several hundred
at the Curtiss aeroplane station and
school. Many relatives and friends
of the soldiers and sailors have been
spending the winter months at San
Diego, and all hotels and apartment
houses are filled, making it very hard
to get accommodations. Business
conditions at San Francisco, Los An
geles, Seattle, and in fact all along
the coast are very good. The winter
all through the southwest has been
exceptionally mild, and there has
been comparatively little moisture.
There was no rainfall in Southern
California until the latter part of
February, and little snow in the
mountain districts. This has been
an unusual season. l found Seattle
very busy place, largely on account
of the large amount of shipbuilding
which is being done there"
