FORD CAR TRAVELS
FAR AT LITTLE COST

One of Edgar Bros representatives
had the opportunity few days ago
Of talking with very interesting
couple-SIr. and Mrs. Harry Roberts
Of Naugat,lck, Conn.-both of whom
are over 60 years Of age. They are
travelling in a. 1913 Ford roadtser,
with about 600 pounds camp equip
ment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts started from
Naugatuck, Conn, May rs, and have
travelled across the continent, up the
Pacific coast and back south by an
other route into the Imperial Valley,
trip Of approximately 10000 miles,
and are now on their return to the
Atlantic coast.
The following are some of the re-
markable facts about the trip and the
car developed in the conversation by
Edgar Bros man:
Repairs to- date on this car, includ-
ing cleaning out carbon, $25. Gas
prices range from 19c in Kansas City
to 40c at Cummings, Humboldt coun-
ty. .t.c. i1tls
Farthest travel in any one day, 1870
miles.
Have been under cover two nights
since they started.
Figure to arrive home May Is,
1922.
This is very remarkable considering
the fact that these people are GO years
old and travelling in this old model
Ford on such strenuous trip, but
they seemed very happy.

DETROIT, Nov. 18.-Much of the
talk that the prohibition law cannot
be enforced is the result Of propagan-
da seeking to break it down, Roy A..
Haynes, the Federal prohibition COM
missioner, told the national conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
here today.
THE first militant force against the
enforcement of the eighteenth amend
ment," Commissioner Haynes said, "is
a highly developed and persistent
propaganda which seems to be organ
lied in certain quarters. It has as its
purpose the i'm preston upon the
public mind that prohibition is not en-
forced and cannot be enforced--and
this because of the unupopularity of
the dry law among the masses Of the
people.
"There is no law against any effort
to amend our constitution, but we
should bear in mind that organiza-
tions seeking to repeal the eighteenth
amendment must keep to their task
and not attempt to nullify this law or
prevent its operation while it remains
a part of our constitutions"
Taking up the remark that the pro-
hibition law is a joke, Mr.. Haynes OBJ
served that eve have allowed the law
less and discontented to pervert our
sense of humor." ""'
"The law will cease to be a joke"
he declared, when the law reaches

BAD DIOOKING BUG

Every once in while some eau
tious cot5in grower discovers a
strange buglet working around in his
field and being without expert lnowi-
edge of biology, becomes alarmed
that the dreaded boil weevil has fin
ally landed in the valley.
A recent alarm of that kind came
from below the line in one OF the
big Mexican cotton fields, and the
grower captured a few specimens of
the strange bug and forwarded them
to B. A. Harrigan, horticultural, in
srea.or for the valley at his office
here in FL Centre.
Mr.. Harrigan was in doubt about
the nature of the beast sent him anc
so he passed it along to the plant
quarantine division of the state agri-
cultural department. This morning
Lee A. Strong, chief OF division,
sent Mr.. Harrigan a report.

When Edna and Neil appeared at

the direction of Maricopa.
Barker is confident that he WI

L. p. Sargent Addresses Ten
Thousand Club on Aims

The program at the Ten Thousand
Club yesterday was of unusual inter-
est, dealing as it did with vital ques-
tions Of the day in our own city, says
Mrs. Violette Campbell, the writer,
in her report of the meeting.
Miss Stella Neeham, one of the most
accomplished musicians in the city,
played two delightful pipe organ
numbers, which were deeply appre-
ciated. -s-.'
Mrs. Burritt Allen introduced L. P.
Sargent of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, who told Of things done
and to be done by that organization
The Chamber of Commerce is not a
made in Germany product, but it's
origin is London, the idea spreading
until every community, great and
small, which desires to grow and de-
velop in the right way has such an
organization. '~,- 49,
The chamber is not a gentlemen's
club with a set program. 1t is the
voice of the people in the community
speaking for the things necessary to
its growth and well being. All owe
certain civic duties to the place in
which they live. Organizations and
individuals can best express them
selves through the one civic organi-
zation, which exists for the single
purpose of service to the city or coun-
ty. The Ell Centre Chamber has sew
enteen committees, each working
along lines of distinct purpose.
Mr.. Sargent told most interestingly
of the work of the good roads COM
mittee, which has been backed up by
the entire chamber. George E.
Bowles is chairman of this commit
tee, and has accomplished work of in
iestimable value to Ell Centre and the
entire county. Notable among the
achievements in this line is the Holt
Vile Yuma road, the building of which
has been assured largely through the
efforts of the chambers of commerce
in Yuma, Imperial and San Diego
Icounties. These counties underworld
the Yuma bonds and raised the funds
TO make up the price required by law
for which the bonds may be sold.
The road will, when finished, serve
as q routing through Imperial county
for hundreds of cars daily, and will
mean large gain in advertising as
we'll as in dollars and cents to the
towns on its way. Mr.. Sargent be-
lieves it is the duty of all citizens to
belong to and support their chamber
of commerce. He urged cooperation
in civic and county projects and paid
a high compliment to the Ten Thou
sand Club, that has steadily pursued
its way in sunshine and shadow,
amidst Encouragement and in pros
porous times.
Mrs. Allen read most charming
pa per on Problems of Ell Centre. Mrs.
Allen mentioned as great needs of the
city: 1st. A court house. This
should be a first objective. Every
body recognizes the need. End. Bet

And scorn the towards whispers of
