DECLINING PRICES

The public has been checrfullv aware in the past few weeks that prices very gently started the down grade Bradstieets s figures show just how far prices have tumbed and afford some interesting comparisons.
 In the January immediately following. the alnistice prices dropped 49 per cent In May of this year they went down II per cent. and in August 45. October list finds them 90 per cent lower than September St the biggest drop to date The October index number is l9 per cent lower than the high peak which reached last February: 1t Is l'S per cent lower than October l. 19l 46 per cent below October l. 1918: it S almost dc tical with that of October l. 917 All this sounds aging enough. but that there is for still further dropping is shown by the fact that the index number is still 94 cent higher than 1t August l. 1911.
 The reduction has not been very evenly distributed Miscellaneous articles have declined 40 per while the four chief food groups have declined only 54 per since the high peak of last February. Other commod ties between those two figresnava stores and
 Xtes ' and 2 per cent. respectively: breadstuffs met .S hides and leather about 13 per each vegetable oils 20 per cent.

Imperial Valley press., 1920-08-03

The county board of supervisors
meet today to decide whether the
highways in the county shall be con
crete or mixture of Warrenite and
other pavement, and also whether to
give the bid out as one large job or
for several smaller jobbers.
In an interview with a Press COR
respondent this morning, several
prominent citizens Of Imperial Valley
expressed their views on the ques-
tions. They were almost unanimous
in the opinion that all paved roads in
the valley should be solid concrete
with no covering, and that the bid
should be given out to several small
jobbers rather than to one large con-
rtactor The reasons given for these
opinions We're that both by example
and by investigation, all other kinds
of pavement have been found to be
inefficient in the peculiar climate of
the valley, and that solid cement is
cheaper, for materials will last
longer and is cheaper for the motor
list.
Statistics have been gathered they
said which point out very clearly that
cement paving is the only kind which
will stand up under the climatic con-
ditions. The case of the highway
leading out to the Shepard's bridge
was given as an example of the fine

condition which cement paving re-
mains in, that, however, is not the
kind of pavement which the county
has contracted for. If the supervis-
ors choose cement paving, it will be
five inches thick in the center and six
inches thick on the sides, while the
highway to the bridge is only three
inches thick in the center and four
inches on the sides.
The citizens say that if the commits
sion gives the contract to the War
renite people, that it will mean a
large loss to the county, that they
will only get about 25 miles of War
rente paving for the same money
they can get so miles of cement paw
ing. which they claim is the best. Sta
tistics compiled by experts of the
University of Southern California
show that there is over 60.7 pounds of
resistance difference between ce-
ment road and Topeka or Warren
ite pavement. This would mean a
great difference in the amount of gas
used and the wear on the tires, ce-
ment being only 276 resistance and
the other 1873 resistance per ton.
The citizens reason for desiring the
bids to be split up was because it
would give the local contractors Il
chance and would hasten the work on

PELICANS ON GUARD

SANTA MONICA, Cal, Aug. g.
The stare of large group of pelicans
which gather every morning on the
beach to watch H. L. Wright of Den
yer, Colorado, go through his daily ca
listhenic exercises has caused the
Denver visitor to apply to the police
for permission to carry firearms as a
means of teaching the sea birds po-
liteness. He declared that no matter
what section of the beach he chooses
for his exercises, the gulls and peli-
cans congregate in semi-circle and
stare him out of countenance.

as soon as | begin my calisthenics all

to me, float down, settle on the sand
and watch me from safe distance.
