MOTTO Of s. P.
READS COMFORT

Phoebe Snow, famed the nation
over in advertising circles, had
nothing on the Imperial Valley, which
boasts Of dustless railroad.
A few days ago the Southern Pa
cific oiled its track from INLAND to
CaleXico, as the first move in Il war
on the dust hordes of summer. This
news will be gratifying to Valley
travellers.
The Pullmans, during their all-day
way at Calexico, instead of being
stranded in the broiling sun to be-
come redhot, as has been the Gus
tom in recent years, are now stood
in the shade of large coach shed.
BY handling them in this manner
they are kept as cool and comfort
able as it is possible for the human
mind to devise, so that the hot, dusty,
tiresome trip, so much to be dreaded
in former days, has been changed to
a most enjoyable spin through desert
country.

Imperial County 'Oyersub-
scribed Victory Loan Quo
ia by $130,00O-E very
City Over Top.

The full story of Imperial Valleys
patriotic achievement in oversubscrib-
ing its quota in the Victory or Fifth
Liberty Loan was unfolded TODAY
when John E. Davis, acting county
chairman, issued the official figures
on the result Of the war funds drive.
The complete tabulation, which
went by wire today to the South
ern California loan headquarters in
Los Angeles, shows that every one
of the eight Valley cities went over
the top, with a total oversubscription
of 913O,950. The number of subscrip-
tions aggregated 6002, or an average
OF one to every nine of the estimated
population.
Ell Centre led the race for the pop
ularity of the loan, 14433 subscrip-
tions having been secured here,
against 1867 for Calexico, which was
second in this division
CaleXico came first with the lar
gest quota raised, S410,S00, of which
100000 was said to have been pur-
chased by Governor Esteban Cantu of
Lower California.
The following is the report of the
Imperial county committee of the re-
suits in the various cities with this
exception: Heber, with a quota of
$4,000, raised $12,800, this sum be-
ing accredited to the CaleXico dis

Mo INJURED
IN HIGH WAY
WHEN MOTOR
TURNS TURTLE:

Two persons were injured, one
painfully, when the automobile in
which they were riding turned tur-
tie at point along the highway
about two miles from Ell Centre.
those injured were William Sterchi,
one of the partners in a dairy en-
terprise on the McPherrin ranch, and
Mrs. Fanny Willard of this city.
Mrs. Willard was rushed to the Ell
Centre hospital in a machine driven
by Frank Ellis, one Of the immigra-
office, as it was feared the great
amount of blood she was losing pres.
aged fatal injuries.
DR.. A. f. Elicit, who was sum-
moned, ascertained that, while the
Woman's injuries were painful, her
condition was not serious. She sus-
tanned a scalp wound and flesh
wound on the right leg, in addition
to some bruises and contuslons.
Sterchi, who was driving the ma
chine, was thrown into a ditch along
side the road and suffered bruises
and contusions. The automobile,
while smashed quite badly, left the
scene of the accident under its own
power.
Ellis, who was passing Sterch's
machine at the time of the accident,
told the sheriff's office that Sterch
drove too far to one side, with the
result that his machine left the high
way, the speech at which the car was
going causing it to turn a somersault
with the sudden turn.

At that time his sole ambition
was to become an engineer or
chemical man, and he was in

the Union Iron Works, on let

WAR LESSONS ON
TRANSPORTATION

WASHINGTON, May 17-General
March has announced that the expert
ence in troop transporting during the
war showed that estimates made by
the War Department in 1915 as to
the possibility of foreign nations land
ing troops in the United States were
entirely too high.
He said these estimates included
387 900 men in sixteen days by Ger
many, 404 900 by France, $4,000 by
Austria and $4,000 by Japan.
They were based on calculations
of transports making round trip
every thirty davs, whereas experience
proved that thirty-five days were
required for the very fastest trans
ports and seventy for cargo ships.

Biggest Event

The term "Hit the Trail" which
will be borne in fOrcibly en- Val
ley people during the coming

CT almost any pOcketbOOk.
No sensational cuts are made
on the great volume of goods Of
fered. but heavy cuts all along
the line have been registered.
This years sale is dOubly signiii-
cant, first, because of the tempt
ing bargains offered, and. sec
only, because the event has been
advanced on the calsndar t"O
weeks. The latter was arranged
for the convenience Of those who
contemplate going out of the VAL
ley earlier than usual.
\ The reduced prices are eifec-

Washington, May 17.-Lieutenant
Commander Read reached Hora sew
eral hours ahead of his schedule. Of
ficials estimated that twenty hours
would be required to reach Port Del
gada. Had Read continued to that
port at his average speed he would
have covered the 1900 miles in little
more than seventeen hours.
The NC 4 was the laem duck of
the division from the time it started
from Rockaway Beach. Three of the
four Liberty motcrs which drove the
ship to the Azores were installed after
it left Rockaway, because of trouble
with the original motors.
While the NC has not equaled
the American records for either du-
ration or distance in seaplane flying,
the greatness of the feat lies in the
fact that it was entirely over the sea.

tanned the first objective of its trans
atlantic flight when it landed safely

The original plans were for a land
ing at Ponta Del Gada and it is pos
sible that the seaplanes will continue
there, which is $50 miles east of
Horta.
