STEI INfORF SAYS
CALENCO FINES
PAY FOR POLICE
Chain Gang Work for City
Equals Fund Shortage,
$11,791 Spcnt 1922
By Special Staff Correspondent


CALEXICO, Nov. 7.-Interestin2
figures were made available by City
Manager Paul Stcintorf with relation
to the collection of fines for period
of six months of this year, together
with the cost Of maintaining the police
. department, and the figures for the
six months of last year corresponding
to those of this year.
In 1921 to total fines collected for
the months of April, May, June, July,
August, and September amounted to a
total of $6,557.25, while the mainten-
ance cost of the police department
reached a total of $7,913.77. Meaning
that it cost the city $l,356.52 to run
the police department. over and above
the revenue received from fines paid.
In 1922, the total fines collected
amounted to 1913, and the cost Of
running tho police department was
$ll,79l.57. A difference of $3,048.57.
In 1929 *2,fs5.75 in fines was collected
more than that collected in 1921, while
at the same $3,S77.S0 more was spent
to keep up the police department costs.
However, more prisoners were kept
locked up during the six months period
as stated above, or put to work on the
streets and alleys of the city in clean
ing up and doing such other things as
would prove beneficial to Ntle city.
Should the cost of the work done by
these prisoners, commonly known as
the chain gang, be added to the totals
of fines collected in 1922, the balance
as between cost of conducting the pO-
lice department and finest collected
would be just about equalized. Much
has been done in cleaning up the city
during the last six months, and the
good work is still being kept up.

Future Bright For
Valley-To Enlarge
Barber Shop Here

! I've put in il years right here in
Ell Centre in the barber business, and
l believe the present is Il mighty good
time to increase the size of my shop.
That S what | think of FL Centre and
the future prospects here said J. E.
Oldham, the pioneer barber of FL Cen.
tro, when asked about the improve
ments he is making at his shop on
Main street.
Continuing Mr. Oldham said, "The
alterations now under way here will
double my capacity and give me -
thoroughly modern up-to-date shop
aanitary in every way. have realiz-
ed for some time that | had to obtain
larger quarters and took advantage of
an opportunity to get the other half of
the store here and incorporate it into
my place.
s'In my work | meet and talk with
men in all walks of life and get a
pretty good line on their ideas. There
are some who are always bowling
about the valley having gone to the
dogs, but / notice they continue TO
stick here. Time and again | have
seen men pull up and get out, only
ton that the valley is considerably
better than other parts of the country
This has been particularly true in the
past two years. | notice though, that
the fellow who sticks here and keeps
plugging away, usually makes the grade
and is comfortably fixed in shorter
time than he would he in more settled
communities.
''Of course the valley was bumped
hard after the war the same as every
place in the country but we didn t get
it any harder than the other fellow
and | believe we haze come back
stronger and better for the humping
we did get.
1.-The future looks mighty good to
me. We are getting II better class of
people in the valley, people who are
going to stick here and we are gradual
lv losing the fellow who comes down
here with the intention of making a
fortune over might and then getting
out. The pioneer stage has passed and
with it the methods of the pioneer,
From now on it will have to be modern
methods in everything and we in the
valley must keep abreast of the rest
of the state in progressiveness.
Jasper l.. Travers is making the al.
terations at Oldham s which include
a complete renovation of the entire
shop, the laying of a new cement floor
and sidewalk and the installation of
modern bathrooms. 1t is planned tc

Rigelow Campaign To Help

Fred NJ. Bigelow, chief Of the bureau
of markets, state agricultural depart
ment, stated before leaving for the
north Saturday morning that the cam
paign for members of the Vegetable
and Melon Growers Association of I'M
pcrial County has been very successful.
He says
-''The campaign started two weeks
ago has made splendid progress. Since
it was started, the membership acreage
has been trebled, being now close to
900 acres. The growers as well as
banks, commercial organizations, mcr-
chants and others, are assisting in the
work and have endorsed the co-opera.
tive movement They realize the great
need of placing the distribution of the
farmers products on Il good basis, so
that they can get the full market value.
''The attitude of all the banks i'll
the valley is particularly gratifying,
us they are lending their active prog
rcss, the association will control a MA
joritv of the vegetable acreage now
independent before the first of the
year. Some time in December, the
date to be announced later, the member

ship meeting held to elect officers for
the ensuing year. Meanwhile, the divi-
sion of markets of the state depart
mcnt of agriculture will render all aid
possible, myself and deputies staying
here to lay the situation before the
growers.
''There is only one solution that pre-
sents itself to relieve the situation in
the valley and that is a grower s co
operative vegetable association to con
troll and regulate the marketing of vcgc
tables and melons.
Farm Advisor f. l.. Garthwaite and
the entire extension service is in hearty
sympathy with the organization as is
the Farm Bureau. ''It is a good
thing said Mr.. Garthwaite, 'and The
extension service in the valley was
actife in getting it started = w. II.
Line;su, one of the directors of the

Reports 1900 Cows
Listed Fo. Testing
Tn Imperial County

The second unit for the Cow Testing
Association is close to completion, with
a total of 700 COWS guaranteed for IL
months. One thousand is the unit limit,
as that number is all that one man can
manage. Dairymen wishing to get IN
on the second unit are urged to apply
at once as only 800 more can be c'taken
in.
Vern De Tar, who is leading the
work for the extension service, states
that it is hardly probable that an at
tempt will be made at this time to Sc
cure third unit unless the, demand
seems to be great enough to give assur-
ance that the number required can be
signed lip. Mr.. De Tar is very much
gratified with results in this county
San joaquin County which stands
high in the dairying industry has only
tested 800 cows during the last year.
This year an attempt was made to sign
up enough for second unit but only
300 were secured, not enough to war
rant an additional unit for the associa-
ton, and too many for the one.
In the opinion of Mr.. De Tar, this
shows that interest in dairy improve
ment in the valley is extended and por-
tends success in the campaign which is
being carried on for its up-building.
Nearly 1000 cows have been listed so
far in thu: association in this county.
The association expects to be ready
to start with the cow testing December

cured and several applications are i'll

The edge seemed to be off the active

the fact that raw material has ad-

HALLOWEEN IN YALE

Several Sunday schools in our
little city arranged and carried
out Halloween parties for the
young people on Tuesday evening
and everything was done to give
them all a good, clean social
time.
Artistic decorations of crepe
paper, autumn leaves, corn stalks
and pumpkins graced the various
places of gatherings into which
came pouring all sorts of ghosts
and goblins, fairies, gypsies and
what not, bent on the big fun OF
the evening.
The usual Halloween stunts
with many new ones, were play
ed, and the spirit of the occasion
found full swing.
And then came the eaGs, unit.
one was full to repletion.
1t was all sport enough for one
evening and much of the though
of doing mischief on the streets
and around the town was thus
avoided.

o. E. S. County Association

The October meeting Of st.

was held in Memphis on Friday
last.
The day was wonderfully pleas
ant and mild and ir consequence
there was a record crowd, thirty
three from Yale driving over.
We estimate the entire number in
attendance as being probably
three hundred. with several
grand officers among them.
The meeting opened at 2:30 in
the afternoon in the handsome
new Masonic Temple, a brick
building of two stories, with
dining room, kitchen and parlors
on the first floor and the lodge
and ante-rooms above.
The usual order of business was
taken up, grand officers saluted,
and several tokens of apprecia-
tion In the way of flowers, pre-
sented. Then followed election
of officers. President, Mrs. Edith
Brink, Capac; vice-president, Mr..
Pretty, Port Huron; secretary,
Mrs. Carrigan, Port Huron; treas
urer, Mrs. Rhea Andreae, Yale.
A very touching memorial trib-
ute was given by officers of Yale
Chapter conducted by Mrs. Emily
Yuill, in memory Of Mrs. Berenice
Fuller, deceased member, who
not only had held nearly every
office in our Chapter, but was
past worthy matron, past pre3i-
dent of the county association,
and also Grand Martha. Her ever
ready, constant and capable SER
vice was always an inspiration.
An appetizing banquet was
served at six in the diningroom,
but as only eighty could be wait
ed upon at once, it was late be-
fore the evening session was
called.
Initiatory work was done by
officers from the various Chapters
of the county, With instruction
by Grand Worthy Matron Ada
Sangster. Other Grand Officers
present were Worthy Grand Pa
tron Frank Halstead; Past Grand
