In order be fully profitable YOU must give the best
service only when new but also after long

along without the implement you need by using an inferior
one.

PUSHING WORK
ON BRAWLEY To
|NO|0 HIGHWAY

Road work is being pushed on both
ends of the remaining unpaved gap
in the Brawley- highway, ac-
cording to a traveller who made the
trip from Los Angeles to the Valley
recently. The section which is not
paved, however, is as rough as a
road could be and still be called a
road.
1--WE found quite long stretch of
recently opened highwa" between In
dio and Mecca" aid the desert mo-
torist. North from Kane Springs
where the marrow gauge highway
formerly ended, there is a section of
approximately ten miles on which
work is in progress. All of this sec
ton has been graded, and the con-
crete is already laid on about five
miles, l should judge. The concrete
and gravel is ready on the rest of
it and a good sized force is at work.
"A good road is certainly needed
through that portion of the desert be-
tween Mecca and Kane Springs. Much
of it is as rough as could well be i'm
agined and still call it road. Yet
notwithstand we set 25-mile
average for the entire trip between
Los Angeles and Ell Centro"

DEALERS WARNED
TO CANCEL TAX
STAMP ON GOODS

Dealers are warned in statement
issued by the Bureau of Internal
Rvenue that proprietary stamps by
means of which the tax on toilet and
medicinal articles is collected must
be cancelled when the article is sold.
Recently there have been received by
the Bureau numrous uncancelled
stamps taken from taxable articles
purchased at durg stores.
Regulation 81, relating to the col
lection of the tax on toilet and medi-
cinal articlese, provide that each
stamp affixed to taxable article
must be cancelled in such manner as
to prevent it's further use. "1f pos
sible," the regulations state, "the
stamp should be affixed to the out
side of the package or container of
the tax commodity SO that upon open
ing the same the stamp will be de-
stroyed. The initial or name of the
vendor, together with the date when
the stamp was affixed or cancelled,
must appear on the cancelled stamp"
This provision, the Bureau states,
will be strictly enforced.
The penalty for making use Of a
stamp to denote the tax imposed with
out cancelling the stamp is a fine
of not more than S10O.

BRAWLEY DRILL
To START WELL
IN FEW A DAYS

Actual drilling by the Imperial VAL
ley Oil and Development company
will probably start within four or
five days, it is stated today by men,
bers Of the association who visited the
scene of operations yesterday Diff
Guilty in securing water is causing the
delay.
1t was thought possible to start
work Yesterday, but this was impos-
sible. The water sunnly is secured
from spring located about quarter
of a mile from the rig, and this must
be piped down to the engine. The rig,
however, is in shape for operation as
soon as the water trouble is ended.
1t is very probable that the rig will
be the first to start operations al
though there are supposed to be more
than a hundred rigs promised for the
district within a few months. The
well at Coyote Wells is not in this dis
trict and drilling has been in progress
there for some months.

MISSING GIRL IS
LOCATED At Los
ANGELES HON T

The sequel to the story of Laura,
who escaped from the Brawley police
force and from Mrs. Barton. head Of
the Barton home at Los Angeles, is
told in letter from Mrs. Barton. re-
ceived by Chief Of Police Marchall.
Laura's adventures after leaving the
Marshall's home. which she left
through a window while ostensibly
packing her clothes for a trip to the
school were many. Being in some
what of hurry she stepped to the
house of some unknown citizen, and
as he was leaving for the country in
an automobile, persuaded him to take
her to a certain cross road, where she
told him she was to meet person
owning ranch and for whom she in
tended to work.
TIE citizen left her at the cross
road as requested, and there she
managed to pick up a ride on a truck
going south. She finally reached Ca
leXico, and. being afraid to cross the
border, and not knowing exactly what
to do. she turned back on her trail
and returned to Los Angeles.
Mrs. Barton, after staying for a
day or so in Brawley. returned to Los
Angeles, when it became evident that
Laura had made good her escape.
She was greatly surprised to find
Laura waiting for her in her office
when she got back. Laura was suf-
fering from case of cold feet, out
was otherwise all right

Of SEASON
FOR WATERMEL0NS
THOUGHT REACHED

Watermelon growers believe that
the peak of the seaon has been passed
although heavy shipments are expec-
ed for the remainder of the week. The
total is we'll over 200 cars and since
last Saturday there have been 36 cars
to leave the valley.
Shipments Monday totaled II cars,
and on Saturday l9 cars were sent
out. Saturday was the biggest day
for the local waermelon men, as nine
teen cars is the record for the sea-
son.
No estimate can be made of the
number of cars to be shipped today,
as this depends on the growers, the
truckers and the railroad men. If all
three work together, it is possible that
the seasons record may be broken
again.
Cantaloupe shipments yesterday
broke all previous records for the
Valley for a single day. A total of
275 cars went out, all but two going
by freight The previous record was
June 26, 1917, when 252 cars left the
valley.

EXPECT BIG MEETING.

Oil enthusiasts of Seeley are ex-
pecting big meeting to be held
there tonight for the purpose of or
ganizing new oil company to put
down well southeast of Coyote
Wells. All holders of land in the sec
tion in which the we'll is to be To-
Gated have been invited to attend the
meeting. 1t is proposed to lease a
considerable acreage and to raise
money for the well by selling 200
blocks of stock at 500 block. Other
blocks will be held in reserve to be
sold as needed, the idea being to put
tie drill down 1000 feet if neces-
Sary.

REPORT DENIED.

Reports have reached the Bureau
of Internal Revenue that some tax
payers are under the impression that
revenue agents sent out to check up
income tax returns are receiving COM
missions on amounts found to be due
by the government. The Bureau of
Internal Revenue today issued a
statement declaring such impression
to be erroneous and wholly without
foundation. Revenue officers en-
gagged in checking up returns, it was
stated, are on salaried basis, and
there is no incentive to add to the
correct amount Of the tax due.
