OF NEW PEACE
DOLLARS EXPECTED
HERE SOON

FL Centre banks have either order
ed or will shortly order, shipments
from the United States mint at San
Francisco a lot of the new peace dol
lars, and it is expected that the new
coins will be in circulation here with
in short time. The mint in San
Francisco is engaged in coming three
quarters of million of the new coins
and will begin sending them out on
bank orders very soon.
New York dispatches state that
the new dollar has appeared there
from the Philadelphia mint and that
Father Knickerbocker is engaged in
the delightful task of panning the
new coin for what they style "its
crudity."
The banks of New York released a
shipment of $4,000 of the new coins
a few days ago and there was rush
for them and the entire shipment
was snapped up within few hours
When the design of the coin was
first submitted it showed dimple IL
the chin of Miss Liberty. Presiden
Harding objected to the dimple an(

Village, the heart of Manhattan's ar
colony, the only objection so far,
that the new dollar is not as plenti

CUB WANTS TO KNOW
WHEN A PIECE IS
NOT A PIECE
First Assignment Gets Peaceful Boy
Into Piece of Trouble and De-
strOys His Peace of Mind
Dear City Ed:

Dear City Ed:
l take my typewriter in hand to let
you no that l hive ben doing all l can
to find out about that there new piece
koin that you was telling me about. In
trying to analyze the situation kare-
fully, have insulted Mr.. Websters
unabridged publication on words, and
after prusing considerable number
Of pages i finnd out that thecr is 2
kinds of pieces.
One kind Of piece is like as if you
was asking for peace of pie, you are
not supposed to pay piece of pie, but
gimme piecea pie. Whereas if you
wanted to hear you rbest girl play on
the piany, you'd say sweet Petutie
play a peace on the phonograph.
Now l haven't fully decided whether
or not which kind of piece, or mean
peace, you meanat when you told me
to go to the banks and find out if they
had any of them new piece koins or
l mean, as you had ought 10 say peace
coins.
The bank said that the new pieces
were to be peace dollars. Well if a
dollar is a peace dollar, how in the
dickens can dollar be coin piece at
both one and the same time. On the
other hand would twenty five cent
piece be piece of peace dollar?
1t seems like this proposition is ter
ribly bawled up, cant imagine what
the government is thinking of, the idea
Of making dollar pieces into peace dol
lars. Anyhow its a good thing they
don't do it very often, the banks also
said that this was the first time in
forty years that the government had
made a new kind of dollar.
At any rate Fred Gianola at the
First National Bank and Otto Jaeger
at the Southern Trust Bank, said that
their banks had flock Of them new
peaces coming in shorthly and that
the customers would be able to have
all they wanted in a very short time.
Now city Ed if you can get me all
Strengthened out on when is a piece
not a peace III be much obliged.
Yours truly,
CUB.

new BICYCLE SHOP IS
OPENED in Ell CENTRIC

The bicycle redivivus might we'll
be the caption over the story of the
craze that is sweeping the country
once more for the two-wheeled ve-
hicle of pleasure and business.
Since royalty and milionaires and
society have taken up bicycling as
a pastime within the past months,
the popularity of the wheel has be-
come something like it was when
the second generation of today were
boys and girls.
The bicycle is coming back and is
living again its old time days of
pleasure and utility. 1t is fashionable
to wheel nowadays, as much so as is
motoring, and dealers are taking ad-
vantage of this fact to place the bike
at the disposal of the public.
To enable the Ell Centro and I'M
perial Valley folk to purchase right
at home some of the more popular
and reliable makes of bicycles, the
Robinson Bicycle company, Of Los An
geles and San Diego, have opened
store in one of the big roomy store
buildings adjoining the Chamber ol
Commerce on Main street.
The Company is the exclusive ag
ent for the Pierce, Emblem and Cali
for,Sa bicycles, all good and popula
nrice dwheels, and will also carry ;
full line of supplies and d oall kind
of rapair work.

nary plans for what is confidently
predicted will be the largest conven-
tion of the international Association
Of Rotary clubs ever held, scheduled
to take place in Los Angeles from
June to 9, inclusive, We're announced

than 10000 members, representing
Rotary clubs all over the world, con-
tracts for 5000 room reservations have
been prepared to assure visitors ade-
quate accommodations it was an
nounced today by Carl E. Rosenberg,
chairman of the international conven-
ton committee.
Provide Funds

proximately 100000 was provided
for at last nights melting.
The Philharmonic auditorium has
been retained on the convention dates

BEGGiRWEED Is VALUABLE

EC-SCCGS HscIf. Makes Good FORAGE

The bCggarWeCd is one of the best
soil improyers known to the farm.
Ing world. Called z weed, it is in the
sense that, once a foothoId is gained
lit grows and roseeds itslf from yeal
to year
But ii is not q weed in the sense OF
being an enemy TO good agriculture
1t helps the farmer too much 10 be
classed as an enemy. 1t improves his
land, and it furnishes his horses and
cattle and swine with excellent graz
! ing and forage. 1t springs up-if it
has been allowed 10 establish itself
on the land-withOut the care OF
worry of the farmer. In order to let
his regular crops pass the growing
stage, he may keep the beggarweed
subdued until that has been done;
then is time enough, ordinarily, for
this weed" TO make a good crop.
Beggarwecd should grow upon
every farm. If you have not this
valuable plant upon your land, see
that it gets there. Beg, borrow. buy
or steal seed from your neighbor
or from another section. Remember
that ii is a legume and that it, there
fore takes nitrogen from the air and
stores it for the use of itself and
other crops. And remember that
your soil needs nitrogen more than il
does any other plant food element.
The seed should be gathered in the
fall months. Store thru the winter
and SOW in the spring, or about time
you are laying-by your regular crops.
if you plan to grow the begGarwecd
on tn same land with these other
crops.

elephant, the Hindoo always feeds it before he him

The elephant has none of the generosity for which

OF spirit worth emulating.
The ant is good to its own but il wars on every

IS nothing very big and magnanimous about that.
What IS more, outside of the grotesque trick ele-

The announcement by the

the most important announce
ments Of the year, partly because
of the attractiveness of the new
open and closed cars that are be-
ing introduced, and partly because
of the startlingly low prices. The
first surprise is the new two-door
sedan at 1926. This model is
shown in the center Of the page

the journal. The other new
closed model announced is the

at S1,495. Another announcement
is on Cleveland "sIX" touring car,
the new price being 1895. The
new touring car has some marked
improvements in design. The

SEWAGE WILL Be
FREED Of GE RMS
IN CITY PLAN 7
Disposal Works, to Be Con-
structed Soon, Will Dis.
charge UnContaminated
Water Into River.

The city sewage disposal works
contract for the construction OF
which was let last week. will re-
move all germs from matter pass
ing through it. II will discharge
into the Rio Grande river liquid
residue that will not contaminate
the water. 1t will deposit in sludge
beds a solid residue that can be
used to great advantage as FER
tilizer. The plant can be oper.
ated by one man, and the cost OF
operation will be small.
The main portion of the disposal
works will consist Of a concrete
tank t07 feet long by so feet in
width. This is divided into ten
smaller tanks, about 20 feet deep,
four on each side and two in the
center. The sewage is allowed to
flow slowly through the series OF
outside tanks. During its passage
1t is attacked by a minute organ
ism which, breaks it up. The solids
are separated from the liquids,
which pass on to the end of the
works, in the lower of the series
of tanks, where they are treated
with chtorin before being dis
charged The chlorin kills all re-
naming germs. Eighty per cent
of the sewage is liquified.
The solid matter. which finds lis
way into the central tanks, SINKS
to the bottom, whore it is drawn
off into sludge beds. ANY germs
that may be contained in this mat
ter are killed by air and sunlight
This material resembles leaf mold,
and has no odor. 1t Is excellent
for fertilizing gardens.
The organisms that attack the
sewage are naturally present, ana
it Is not necessary, except in rare
instances, to start them from cul-
lures. The success of the disposal
works depends on running the sew
age through it at the proper speed.
The progression from the h1gher
level of tanks to the lower levels
must be gradual If it Is too fa-
pid. the sewage is not broken up,
and if it is too slow, fermentation
sets in and causes a bad odor.
When working properly the plant
is practically odorless.
The plant will be located almost
directly south of the city ON the
Rio Grande river, on ground be-
longing to the city. It will be en-
tirefy of concrete. The workmen
who build 1t may have to combat
duieksand in the excavations.
The plant will have a capacity
capable of taking care of 81 city
of 10000 people. 1t is expected
to meet the needs of the commun-
ity for the next several years. 1t
is so designed that 1t may be in
creased in size by adding new
units. The plant has the approval
of the state board of health.
