ling ten or more ears ut a time. The
buildings are now being equipped with
modern loading machinery and devices
and when completed will be one of the
finest plants in the country.

different cantaloupe firms are being ne
gotiated and when the season opens
The plant will be one of the busiest
places in the valley. The increased acre

ready and daily shipments of melons
from this plant alone are expected to

GOOD CROWD HEARS
CAPTAIN TED
EVANS

A good sized crowd greeted Captain
" Ted Evans, evangelist, at the Meth
odist church last night From the very
start the attention Of the audience was
captured. After Il few words by way
of introduction, the speaker launched
into his subject, " Rcvivals, Are They
Justified?' and for Il half hour mar
shalled facts and arguments in proof
of his contention that rcVivals in re-
iigion are Just us essential and have
just us important Il place us political,
industrial and business revivals. He
pointed out how special efforts are put
toyth ut special times to create Il re-
moved interest in all lines of activity.
Speaking of the objection sometimes
urged that there is too great an appeal
to the emotions in Il revival he Said,
''There is more emotionalism in Il Ga-
tional political convention than III all
the revlvals held in II hundred years. -
Argument, wit, 'and pathos all had Il
place in the address.
After the service the audience ad-
.journed to the Social hall where an
informal reception was rendered to the
captain. The address of welcome was
given by the pastor and was responded
to by Tied - in his inimitable, happy
manner. The Ladies Aid served light
refreshments after which the children
and the young people played games.
Meetings will be held every night at
$50. In the afternoons at 3:45 lied

Meeting of Y. w. c. A. Board


The county executive board of the
y. w. c. A. met last night at the Bar
bara Worth hotel with "A good repre-
sentation from all of the towns which
participate in the work The main pur.
pose of the meeting was to elect off
GERS for next year. Mrs. George j.
Phelps wasNnanimously chosen as pres
ident for the third time, an honor en-
tirely merited. Mrs. Phelps more than
any other one woman in the county
was responsible for the organization
of Y. w. c. A. work in Imperial and
she has made Il great leader for il
throughout.
Mrs. NJ. c. Blanchard of Holt Vile
was elected first vice president, and
Mrs. Nelson of Imperial, second vice
president; Mrs. II. L. Glasby of Calex
leo, treasurer and Mrs. Herbert Fulton
Brawley, secretary.
The summer camp which was so sue
cessful last year will be established
again this summer. Mrs Blanchard
and Mrs. Glasby were appointed com
mittee to look into the different sites
available for the camp with special
reference to Pine Hill Lodge which
has made what seems to be a most at
tractive offer of its buildings and
grounds. The camp cleared $500 last
summer, and that with Il charge for its
service that seemed incredibly small
1t WAS decided at last night S meeting
that more comforts must be had for
the accommodation of galcSts and it is
thought that with these comforts
added more win come and the price
can remain at the very low figures
prevailing last summer.
The annual budget will be raised
right away, Fl Centre 5 allotment be-
ing 81, ,l25. 1t is thought that with the
very active year under the direction
of Miss Springer and the wide exten-
sion of the organization among the
women and girls, little difficulty will
be experienced in raising the funds for
another year.
Calexico and Brawley members re-
ported increased interest and strength
ening of forces rs did other towns of
the valley. Miss Springer made Il
wonderful report that aroused the en-
thusiasm of the board members pres
ent. She is now extending her Girls

well as IN the town centers and in this
way will reach Il large number in n
