BIG TOPS HERE
TO HOUSE FAIR
AND EXHIBITS
Headquarters Busiest Scene in
Ell Centre Where Clerks Rush
to Care for Applicants.

Actual work of preparing the
ground preparatory to the erection of
two huge tents which are to house Ell
Centre Fair began this morning un-
der the direction of the "Boss Can
vas" man Of the San Bernardino
Orange Show association.
From the activities going on around
the headquarters office today it was
apparent that the Ell Centre Fair will
very shortly become reality. En-
tries are rapidly coming in for ex-
hibits of all kinds. This mornings
mail brought an entry for a good
showing of Belgian hares, another ex-
hibitor reserved space for a large eX-
hibit of blooded pigeons, some of which
have been awarded first prizes at the
various Southern California fairs this
season. Among the pigeons to be
shown are me that will weigh as
high as three pounds.
Word was received this morning
that one of the star players of the
National baseball league is to be here
and will play with the local team in
the game scheduled for fair week.
II IldS dlSO DecIl diluouHSSu o!ttI tHS
Paramount Pictures Corporation will
have representatives here, and that
the entire fair will be taken by the
movie men and exhibited on news
circuit throughout the country.
An amusing incident happened this
morning in the office Of the fair COM
mittee when Mr.. Martin of the Ma
tional Breadery came in and wanted
to know if he could enter a Class Of
goats. He was told that he could and
promised to return later in the day
at which time he would fill out the
entry blank and produce the pedigree
papers.
Unfortunately. Martin explained
when he returned, the said goat while
being transported from Calexico here,
pulled the papers out of Martins pock-
ct as he sat in the seat Of the auto
truck ,and proceeded to dine on the
only existing record Of his lineage.
Martin says he has not decided yet
whether or not he will attemp. to
make the entry.

WANTS VALLEY
TO SHIP COTTON

Philo Jones, who is handling the cot
ton proposition in Imperial Valley.
looking to consignment of both long
and short staple to Central European
mills, has received his first bona fide
request for cotton which will be shipp-
ed in IA cargo from San Pedro No
vember 10. The letter. states that
there will be 800 bales of Pima and
1000 bales Of short staple and adds:
"How much will you ship from lmper-
ial Valley?"
The proposition is regarded as a
good one in view of the fact that fnan-
cial arrangements have been made for
supplying the grower with 80 per cent
Of the market value as an advance. He
then gets his full returns on the fin
ished cloth product after deducting
reasonable and legitimate expenseon-
ly.. Returns on shipments already
made from the southern states are said
to have brought two and three times
the market value of the cotton and the
farmers there are rapidly taking hold
of the plan. For that reason Jones is
hoping he will be able to have fairly
representative shipment from Imperial
Valley.
The plan remains effective for five
vaarc

BRAWLEY FETE
FULL OF THRILL

The Brawley Athletic Club has
placed on show the handsome cup that
will be given the firemen in the sham
pionship contests of valley brigades to
be held October ID and Is. A new
entry was listed today when the Mex
icali department sent word that it will
be there strong.
Doc Gottesburen having thoroughly
creased the antidiluvian street sweep
er in order to gather In all parts be-
hind the race, now wants more cars
entered guaranteeing that he will re-
turn all parts to the various owners
after the race is over, though he says
they may be interchanged en- route.
The style show of Stahl Bros. and
Varney are going to appeal to the wo-
men over the entire valley. They will
have special programs and be some.
thing more than the mere exhibitions
of merchandise for sale--they will be
educational as well.
Guy Urquart of Ell Centre has writ
ten the B. A. c. that the motorcycle
races will be something for the BIRTH
day party that will make many thrills.
San Diego motorcycle men have writ
ten that they want to be counted in.
The La Verne Lyceum has invited a
speaker to come out Friday night to
tell the neighborhood all about the bic
two day celebration and oratory will
be spread. The detailed program will
be issued early the coming week.

ASS0C|AT TED
c. OF c. FOR
FEDERAL
CONTROL
Ell Centre Resolution on the
Boulder Canyon Dam Is
Passed at HOltville Meet
ing. Banquet Most De-
lightful Affair.

The Associated Chambers of Com
merce, in session at Holtville last
night, adopted the resolution passed
by the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce advocating Federal construction
and control of the water resources of
the Colorado river, with the additional
proviso that $4,000 acres of the East
Side mesa lands to be reclaimed un-
der the All-American canal be parti-
toned to the Veterans Welfare board
of the state of California, for the
benefit of exservice men, in case the
boardcared to apply for the same.
The session of the Associated
Chambers was long alVl talkative
one and lasted until very late hour.
A number of propositi/.s were up for
discussion and they all took time to
dispose of, but the outstanding fea-
ture of the meeting was the passage
of the Boulder Canyon resolution, in
response to the urging of the directors
of the irrigation district to aid them
iH,securing unity Of action on the part
Of ,all factions in the county, so that a
better showing could be made in the
conference to ke. held with Secretary
of the Interior Fall at San Diego some
two weeks hence.
attorney Joseph F. Seymour made
a lengthy address from the floor ad-
vocating the original resolution Of
fered by him and passed by the board
of, directors of the Ell Centro chamber
two, weeks ago. in which he made it
plain that tie power interests were
not at all interested in his efforts. T..
J. Worthington of Calexico who repre-
seLA.d t1e interests of the American
Legion also addressed the meeting at
some length on the aims and desires OF
the exservice men and won all to his
way of thinking by his exposition of
the problems confronting the valley
and the backing that could be expected
from both the state Snd national or
ganization of the Legion.
The banquet given the delegates by
the Holtville chamber was one of the
most delightful affairs that the dele
gates have yet attended. The bill of
fare was royal one and the happy
little speeches and story telling Incl
dents Of the evening was greatly rel
ished by all.

CALEX|C0 WARS
AGAINST A. NEW
BORDER ORDER
Vigorous Protest Made Against
Registration of Automobiles
Going and Coming Across
Line.

y An order of the custome service
acquiring all automobile to register
,each time they cross the border at
Calexico has caused great Indignation
there. Strong protests from the en-
tire business community charge that
the requirement that automobiles
register means the loss Of valuable
time. Hundreds cross daily and fully
80 percent are on busisess, as the in
terests of Calexico and Mexicali are
0 closely allied that they are in a
business way, one big city. Three
cotton gins, an oil mill, banks stores
offices and thousands of acres of
land are operated by Americans. The
continuance of this order will do un-
told damage to the business interests
of the city and Imperial Valley, ac-
cording to the Associated Chambers
of Commerce and all other organiza-
tions of the valley from one end to
the other who will protest to the
The traffic here :or
other than business purposes is vir-
tually negligible.
A protest was sent by telegraph
today to c. ID. Spriggs, collector of
customs lat San Diego, advising him
fully Of the effect of the order and
urging its repeal. The Chamber of
Commerce, backed by every busl-
ness man, sent the protest and asked
for immediate action.

MERRALLS TAKES
REQ LINES AGAIN

Charles f. Merralls, who is in Los
Angeles closing deal with the REQ
Motor Car company, Of California, for
the Imperial Valley control Of the REQ
lines of motor cars, has written The
Press, that he will be back in Ell Cen
tro in a few days with line of new
models of the latest productions of the
great REQ corporation.
Mr.. Merralls is widely known and
popular automobile man in the Valley
and he has handled the REQ line of
cars here in the past and after looking
the field over carefully could find no
other line of motor ears that were so
popular with the people as the old re-
liable REQ, and consequently he closed
the deal to take over the agency for
the valley once more.
The new cars will be on display on
the floor of his salesroom within the
next few days.
