Power Company has always been able to
pay it's dividends, through good times

AS more and more Maine money is
spent for more power stations, dams

be earned for Maine people,

Appeal for Support
of Community Bill

There appears to be some danger
of the community property bill los
ing out, notwithstanding that it has
the unanimous support of the state
federation of women s clubs and of
the California Woman's Legisla-
tive Council. 1t was written by a
committee of the State Bar Asso-
citation and was supposed to have
the approval of that august body.
The appeal has been sent out for
renewed action in its favor, in the
form of kilograms and letters to leg
islators. 1t has been hard for the
women of the state to understand
the persistent opposition to amend
ments to the community property
laws of the state, when everybody
seems ready TO admit that the ono
now operating is full of injustice
TO women.
1t is possible that steps will be
taken at the meeting of the exec
utive board of the Imperial Coun-
ty Federation tomorrow TO crystal
ize support of the pending bill
among the club women Of the
county.

This is Month
When MIR. Skid
Does Dirty Work

Gentle rains threaten to sneak
upon the unwary motorist this
month and cause lot of grief TO,
him if he doesn t look out. We have
with us "Mr. Skid "Mr. Skid
is not a person but he is a very
dangerous agent nevertheless, de-
clare officials of Auto Club of Sou
thern California.
"Mr. Skid' is ghostly passen-
ger who travels with every motor
ing party when ever they go out in
the rain or on sprinkled streets.
Mr. Skid is like the old man of the
sea. He just sticks with your car
through thick and thin and the
only way to get rid of him is to
chain him. You can chain him by
putting skid chains on your wheels
when you drive on slippery pave
ment. If you do not, Mr.. Skid will
have one hand on your steering
wheel all the time and is liable to
make things very unpleasant not
only for yourself but for any other
automobile you may encounter on
the road, points out the Auto Club.
He Surprises You
He gets busy when you least ex-
pect it and when you are sailing
along a smooth slippery road all Of
Il sudden he gets in his dirty work
and you go slithering off into the
gutter or somebody's else innocent
machine.

Spring FloICerS Are
Beautiful to Behold

April showers in Southern Cali
fornia are bringing May flowers for
motorists to enjoy. According to
an announcement from the Auto
mobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA the desert regions of this part
of the State are in blossoms at this
time of the year.
Wild flowers are not as profuse
this season on the desert as they
were last. Word received from the
Club touring bureau from the vici-
nifty of Palm Springs and other de-
sert points however, informs auto
lists that this year 8 flowers are
very beautiful to behold.
In the mountain districts wild
flowers are at their best in April
and hundreds of motoring parties
are enjoying them to the utmost.
In the mountains of San Gabriel
county and Santa Barbara county
hundreds of varieties of wild flow
ers can be seen. Auto club repre-
sentatives visiting the vicinity of
Pine Hills and San Diego county
report acres of beautiful flowers.

Politics Mark Sessions
of L. A. Club Women

1t is stated that Mrs. William
Fitzgerald, president of the Califor-
MIA Federation of women's clubs,
became weary of the politics waged
on the floor at the convention of
the Los Angeles district throughout
the sessions, and went home with
out delivering the address announc-
ed on the program. And the wrangle
was all over the office of vice-prcs-
ident, which, as a usual thing, is
not much sought after. Mrs. j. B.
Lorbeer, one of the best known club
women in Los Angeles district, was
elected with two to one vote over
her opponent, Mrs. j. NJ. Mathews.
The latter is fine, dignified wom-
an and made good impression on
the floor but the methods used by
her campaign manager, Mrs. Der
nice 4. Johnson, were not approved
by the convention and probably CON
tributed to the large vote given to
Mrs. Lorbeer.
Mrs. Urquhart. the retiring dis
trict president, is, SO far, the only
candidate for tie state presidency,

CLUB WOMEN HEAR
INSPIRING TALK ON
VALLEY BIRDS

"Imperial Valley Birds was the
subject of a most interesting ad
dress yesterday at the meeting OF
tho Ten Thousand Club, Mrs. Jessie
Hatch, chairman of Bird and Wild
Life of the County Federation be
ing the speaker.
Mrs. Hatch has lived in the val
ley from its early history and has
made close study of the birds. She
has listed over so varieties and has
learned their Distinguishing marks
as well as how they contribute to
the pleasure and service of mau'
kind.
One thing was definitely driven
home to the audience and that was
that the little songsters do serve
and that most effectively in ridding
the ground Of destructive pests that
would destroy the crops. Few of
them are enemies to mankind, as
has been found by analyzing their
stonIachs to see just what they eat.
The speaker made clear the value
of bird protection and told how the
little feathered friends can be at
tracted and cared for.
Mrs. Hatch is an enthusiast on
the subject and succeeded in i'm
parting this enthusiasm TO all who
heard her. Every club woman who
heard the address will think more
of the birds and find greater pleas
ure in them than she has ever done
before,
Mr. Sumner gave q most practi-
cal talk ON gardening, telling the
women how TO prepare the soil,
how 10 plant, how TO irrigate and
what to plant. 1t was just such a
talk as the club women wanted and
many of them took notes so that
the information will be preserved
for future use.
The entertainment feature Of the
program was a picture dance by
pupils of Mrs. Wooda Blesy. The
little girls giving the charming
number were: Claire Newkirk, Mar
ion Scheirson, Harriet Stafford,
Mary Elizabeth Hermon and Irene
Salomon. The accompanies WERE
Mrs. j. Leroy Mitchell and Frank
OFT.
The attendance was good and no
program of the year has been of
more practical value.
The ways and means committee
reported that something over $135
had been received as result of the
flower and cake sale of last Satur-
day and rising vote of thanks was
given to Mrs. c. J. Ritz for permit
ting her store TO be used for the
sale.
The call for the state convention
meeting May IA was read. The
club is entitled TO two delegates be
sides the president. These dele
gates will be appointed by the presi-
dent by authority of the club.
A letter will be sent to new cit
izens of the county by the citizen
ship committee, a copy of which
was read by Mrs. Frank Morgans,
chairman of the committee.
The next meeting of the club will
be held April 10 with the Twice
Told Tales Section in charge of the
program. Mrs. Burrett S. Alien,
section chairman will tell the story.
