simple and beautifully finished.
The blouse shown In the picture
bears out these statements. It is Of

KEEP PIGS SAYS
FARM BUREAU
Many Persons Living in the Country
Who Never Raised Pork Before
Have Bought Brood Sows or Gilts
and Have EndeavOred to Help the
Country Raise This Food.

The keep Pig" movement
launched by the Farm Bureau, is in
line with the general work of con-
servation being urged on every side.
A brood SOW or few pigs can be fed
on most farms from the refuse other
wise thrown away. Every farm has
a certain amount of material which
could be used for hog feed in con-
junction with grain which would 9TH
erwise go to waste. From this stand
point, it appears that the keep a
Pig movement may become popular
as a permanent institution.
The spirit of the "Keep a Pig"
movement has already entered the
schools, and one or two of the dis
trict schools have secured pigs to eat
the refuse of the noon lunches of the
children. Dixieland schoohouse was
the leader in thi smovement and con-
siderable interest has been aroused
through the children in joining the
Keep Pig" movement.
The Boys Agricultural Clubs have
already become interested in the ques-
tion of pig feeding, and are taking up
the "Keep a Pig" movement in con-
junction with the Farm Bureau. and
will no doubt be strong factor in
making the campaign success. DR..
Crandall of Holtvile, who attended the
Farm Bureau Conference in March,
is stimulating interest among the
boys in the Holtville district, and feels
that Imperial county will be second

Sir Douglas Haig, in a special order

'Three weeks ago today, the enemy

'In spite of throwing, already, 106

"We owe this to the determined

Commerce Frowns Upon
j the Importation of Beer,

brought in City Recorder WhiteIaw's

There is an ordinance of the City
of Ell Centre purporting to prohibit
the sale or giving away of liquors,
and the Southern Pacific, holding that
this ordinance is valid, refuses to de-
liver from the local depot any pack
age known to contain liquor. The To-
cal agent thus refused to deliver MIR.
Richmond his barrel and gave It into
the custody of Constable Toney.

liquors and that in case an adequate
ordinance does not exist to prevent
common carriers from bringing into

immediate enactment of such an Or
dinance by the city board of trus-
tees; and be it further
Resolved That copies of this res
Olution be sent to the local papers
and to the board of city trustees"

London, April 13.-A German at

attack was repulsed. The French and
british by counter attacks drove the
Germans from Hangard, which they
penetrated yesterday.
With the exception of MervilIe, the
Germans thus far have not reached

in the vicinity of Armentieres. There
are no indications of enemy intentions
to abandon the assault Immediately.
There have been % enemy divisions.
numbering $4,000 to $4,000 men each,
employed.
The enemy seems desirous of
reaching Aire, railway center, and
are throwing a large number of troops
into the conflict. The German threat
in this direction is undoubtedly of
considerable Importance and the fight
ing today is of the bitterest nature.
The Germans attack against Given
chy is being pressed by nine divis-
ions. The fighting here has been vir-
tually continuous since Tuesday, but
the British have maintained a stone
wall defense thus far and the Ger
mans have suffered heavy losses. Brit
ish artillery and machine guns pound
ed concentrating points and troops ad-
vancing in close formation, swelling
the casualty list appallingly. The
troops which have been making such
a gallant stand at Givenchy distin-
guished themselves by holding the
Germans for hours before Cambrai
when the enemy cOunter-attacked last
November. OF $50 Germans captured
Tuesday near Givenchy, 800 were de-
voting their energies to loOting a
