At the present time, the Weaver shed

three ears a day, of Malaga grapes,
which are expressed to the company's
headquarters in Chicago for distribu-
tion throughout the central states and
the east. The ears are. attached to reg
ular Southern Pacific passenger trains.
Each year the grape distributors in
the valley import experienced girls
from the vicinity of Fresno to pack the
local crop, paying their transportation
to and from the valley and topnotch
wages. Following the season in the val
ley, they work in the counties to the
north, and continue on with the crops
as they mature in different localities
until the final crop in the fall. Some
of the girls now packing in FL Centre
and other valley towns have been com
ing here for several years and always
look forward to the announcement that
the season is on in Imperial valley. This
section has the earliest season, and
they claim that a good crop here is
their mascot, usually bringing them
plenty of work in other sections.

GRAPE PACKERS ARE
BUSY GIRLS NOW

Whatever else may be shy of aetiv
ity just now, due to the leisurely sum
mer period, there is one place in FL
Centre that is a regular hive of indus
try. This is the packing shed of G..
II. Weaver & Co. on the east side. Here
a force of 15 girls, expert grape pack
ers from the San Joaquin valley, are
packing the grape output of Ell Centre
and vicinity, for shipment. Though to
the layman it seems the girls are not
rushed, close observation shows this is
because they know how to do the
work, and constant practice enables
them to pick out a bunch of grapes
from the field boxes, strip off blights
with deft fingers, and pack the grapes
in boxes, ready for shipment with little
effort and no loss of time
The grapes are brought into the
packing shed in boxes about 18 inches
square, which are placed within reach
of the packers. A supply of standard
shipment boxes, containing four bas.
kets holding six pounds of grapes each
is stacked near each girl, and us fast
as packed are placed on a travelling
table, which carries them to the nail
ing table, where the covers are placed
on the boxes by an expert boxmakel
and the completed box set aside fol
truckmen to place in the cars TIL,

that Congress shall meet Annually on
the second Monday in March would be
very simple" suggests toh Republican
Publicity Assertion. The proposed
plan to have Congress meet ON the
first Monday in January, and the
Presidential inaugural to be held
quardiennially on the third Monday
of the same month will create many
complications, necessitate consider
able amending of the Constitution and
may end nowhere.
THE Constitution provides that Con-
gress shall assemble at least once in
every year, on the first Monday in De-
cember, unless they shall by law ap-
point a different day. But Representa-
tives hold Office for two years from the
4th of March succeeding their election.
senators are elected for six years, and
the President and Vice President are
chosen for four years. All of this is.
provided for by the Constitution, and
the present incumbents of those Of
fees can have their terms curtailed
only by Constitutional amendment
The poposed plan is for the purpose of
insuring change of legislative and ad-
ministrative control from two to two
and half months after elections have
been held. To have the change occur
on the second Monday in March would
mean delay in the end sought of but
two months at the outside. The sue
cessful candidates would have about
four months to cool off fter a cam
paign wherein passion and prejudice
might have gained ascendency over
reason. That is not too long, and it is
a great improvement over the L.
months now required before a new
Congress convenes, unless an extra
session is called. Therefore the second
Monday in March for the annual con.
venons of Congress ought to be the
compromise date, as it is the mos
reasonable date, and the most simpli
fled method of making haste slowly il

BERNHARDT Is AGAIN STRICKEN.

stricken as she was about to appear in
Sacha Guitry's new play at the Edward
VII Theater, thus defied the entreaties
of friends that she abandon the stage
and spend the years that are left her
in ease and comfort.
Her physicians after an anxious
night, issued a bulletin at II a. m. to-
day which said:
"The crisis fortunatel passed quick
ly, but Nine. Bernhard demands abso-
Lutte rest for few days and complete
isolation"
This was signed by Drs. Desnos and
