but he gave it away in a short time
to youngsters in the streets from New

HISTORY SECTION In
INTERESTING
SESSION

''Problems of the City, was the
subject of an interesting discussion at
the meeting Of the history section yes
terdav afternoon. Going into history,
comparisons were made between the
problems of today when over GO per
cent of the population of the United
States live in cities, and the early years
of the republic when a comparatively
few had their homes in the city. Many
problems grow out of this condition it
was said, such as housing, sanitation,
public health conditions, educational
facilities, etc.
City planning as adopted by several
American cities was discussed, and Mrs.
+. D.. Jacobs talked most interesting
ly on the municipal market, it being
her opinion that there are serious diff
ficulties in the way which may hinder
its success. Others thought that with
patience the plan can be carried out to
the profit of both producer and con
sumer. This last subject is beginning
to attract the interest of many Ell Cen
tro housewives who hope to see it sue
ceed.
Mrs. A. j. Schaetzel led the class at
yesterday S meeting which was consid
cred one of the most interesting
sessions the section has had this year.

BUYS PROPERTY
WILL ENLARGE
BUSINESS

The property at 429 State street has
been purchased by NJ NJ. Frey, auto
top specialist, who will move from his
present location, Is north Fifth street,
to the new quarters May l. Tho con
sideration was not made public
The lot is 25x140 feet and building
has floor space of 25x70 feet. Mr..
Frey plans to build q shed over the lot,
giving the new owner more than twice
the capacity of the old establishment.
Mr.. Frey has been in the automobile
business for a number of years. An
increase in volume of business is the
reason given by Mr.. Frey who has
found the present place inadequate to
accommodate the trade.
The installment of additional equip
ment such as sewing machines and
band saws, is contemplated. A full,
line Of canvass specialties will be add
ed to the business after the removal,
the proprietor announces.
Mr.. Frey has kept faith in the valley
and is so convinced in its possibilities
that he purchased the property. He
believes values in the valley will start
soaring and he jumped at the oppof.
tunity of buying while the buying was
good.

EARLY Ell CENTRIC

Mrs. Ollie Cart of the Woman S Shop
has some most interesting pictures OF
FL Centre when it first found Il place
on the map of Imperial county. One is
a picture of the Digg's home the first
house on the townsite. 1t was located
on the ground where the new school
house is in course of construction, just
opposite the water works. 1t was Il
brush house but furnished shelter for
the Diggs family some of whom are
shown in the picture. Another of the
photographs show the site of the pres
ent metropolis of Imperial Valley as !;
barley field with growing grain which
looks to be quite luXuriant. And

early 1900 for the city is less than
twenty years old. Mrs. Cart was a
pioneer in the valley coming to In

The reader of "Thc Romance Of a
