by his mother.
After months Of anxious waiting in

Weir Decides
In FAVOR OF
Buy At Home

The "trade in San Diego" slogan re-
Gently promoted in Ell Centre, received
an awful jolt at the hands of Deputy
Sheriff F. H. Wier during his recent
trip to the coast, according to the story
told by him today.
Postponing the purchase of suit
of clothes from the Ell Centro mer-
chants, Weir on his arrival at the
coast city, takes it upon himself to
fittingly bedeck himself. Breezing in
to an Quitting establishment, and
making his wants known, he is shown
suit, "all wool" which might be pur-
chased for the sum of $40. Being a
conservation gentleman. his attention
was drawn at once, and paying over
the cash, and with measurements taken
he was informed the suit would be
ready that afternoon.
On opening the package at the hotel
on it's arrival Weir discovered he was
the proud possessor of brand new
pair of overalls, said purchasing price
being $4,000.
Not being a member of the overall
club, needless to say the shock was as,
much as the deputy sheriff could stand.
The overalls are now adorning hook
in the locker room of the county jail
and will remain there, according to the
owner until he again returns to farm
ing operations.
