Letter From Leslie Prescott, Care of
 the Secret Drawer.
 I hardly knew how l got home. authough l must have been con- scious enough of material things to drive my car, for I had no accident. 1 went upstairs and sat down in my own room, after carefully locking the door--just why I do not know, but the idea was so stupendous that l wanted no interruptions while thinking about it.
 How did Alice come with such a magnificent and valuable string of pearls, and having them. why did she give them to me? Could it be possible that she did not know the pearls were real?
 went back to the time when she gave them to me. I wanted again to understand and remember just what she said l remembered she had given them to me the day that sse had asked mo to wear something old and something new. something borrowed and something bluc.'
 When she handed me the pearls she said, after I had exclaimed with delight over them, that she had oofhe across man who had pur- chased them for someone that hc har cared for very. very much, and then. as he had lost her. he did not want them any more. She said she had found out how to obtain them through Betty Stokley. and knowing that Betty stokley was abroad. l jumped at the conclusion that she had gotten these beads. as I sup posed they were. from some for sisner who had arrived in this coun- srv. and becoming hard pressed for zzeeey. had sold them to her.

youR OXYGEN RATION
By pR. CLIFFORD c. ROBINSON

So many conditions Of bodily health depend on your daily oxygen diet that Il Is hard to estimate the loss when ono withholds lt from Its proper part in his daily program.
 Housekeepers who claim they have no time for such nonsense. storekeep- CTS who neglect to take lime. rich folks who have automobile trouble and can't walk. and poor folks who won't walk because they can't ride, arc among tho number who suffer great loss in bodily upkeep from lack Of exercise and oxygen.
 In ordinary every day breathing not more than 10 per cent of your lung capacity is charged at each breath. Deep breathing brings into play tho whole lung power and in- oreases the circulation in the abdomi- nal organs to marked degree. Where there Is nervous or emotional stress. the blood pressure Is aided greatly. Sedentary people often talk about uric acid. If is easy to explain--lack Of oxygen and incomplete combustion.
 The carbohydrates (starch and sugar) are fuel foods. When the oxi- dation of sugar, through muscular action. is completed, the product is water and carbon dioxide. Incomplete oxidation produces another body poison, tactic acid.
 The increased output of the adrenal glands. which occurss under the stimulus of exercise and complete body action. supplies the cells with the growth they demand by furnish ing the required oxidation. Breathe ii ln-expel it--breathe in some more.
 When you sit around the house or office and stretch and yawn--your oxygen ration has been sadly neglect ed. Take hike.

Before buying any mechanical de- vice for saving household labor 1t IS well to ask yourself if it may be cleaned easily. Some complicated food choppers and '.seeders' are so hard to wash that one would rather do the actual operation by hand than clean the labor-saving device.

Cuffy Bear wished that Johnnie Green would come and unfasten his chain from the fence post and lead him away from that queer red COW.

 Cuhy tuggcd at his chain in vain.
 I'll climb over the fence and get as far away from the red COW as l can," he decided.

NOTABLES ARE
VISIT ING CITY

Several citizens from Arizona
visited in FL Centre Yesterday and
registered at the Chamber Of Com
merce. Among them was Y. S.
kimball of Thatcher, close personal
friend of Governor Hunt of Ari-
zona, and who was present at the
meeting in Phoenix this week to
discuss the ratification of the San
ta Fe pact for the control of the
Colorado River. Mr.. Kimball says
the majority of the people of Ari-
IONA are desirous of cooperating
with California in the building of
a dam at Glenn Canyon, which they
believe is better plan than to
build at Boulder Canyon.
lie expressed his preference for
the transcontinental route from
Phoenix through Imperial Valley
via Holtville and Ell Centre rather
than the other route via Blythe and
Mecca, and said the majority of
people in Arizona are, of the same
preference. He made the trip
over the sand hill route and says
the road is fine all the way over.
In Arizona AZ Years
Accompanying Mr.. Kimball is O.
d. Merrill, Il long time resident OF
Phoenix, who confessed to Secre.
tary Coyle that this is the first
time he has been out of Arizona in
AZ years. He has an abundance of
tales concerning the early history
of the Southwest, and told a re-
markable tale of a trip that took
him 800 miles into Mexico. He re-
covered the horses and returned to
Phoenix with his rifle and six
shells, which was all the equipment
he took with him when he left that
place. The entire trip was made
without once establishing camn
on the trail.
w. H., Rogers and James Fuller
of Phoenix, also registered at the
Chamber.
Another interesting visitor was
ii. M. Wigney, of the Western Pa
cific Railroad, with headquarters nj
Chicago, who is in attendance at
the cantaloupe meeting. Mr.. Wig
ney expressed his confidence in
the future of Imperial Valley,
which he states is one of the most
prosperous sections of the country.
He gave Secretary Coyle the names
of several Chicago friends whom he
desired to have become acquainted
with Imperial Valley.

The list today reads:
Imperial County
Third in States
Hog Production

During the last decade, ending in
1920, hogs in California increased
ia per cent. The total value in
1921 was estimated at nearly ten
million or only little less than the
gold output of the state.
The five leading counties in
swine production in 1921 were Tu-
lare, Los. ,Angefes, Fresno, Imperial
and San Joaquin according to III. NJ.
Butterfield of the University of
California College of Agriculture.
These five counties raised over 23
per cent of the hogs in California.
Alfalfa and grain are also very i'm
portant in these counties and part,
ly account for the large number OF
hogs. -...
Hog production is being encou-
ragged by the university, since this
industry fits in so well with dairy
ing and alfalfH production, also
barley production. The University
Farm at Davis has been very sue
cessful in competing at the Chicago
International Livestock Show and
has thoroughly demonstrated that
with good hogs and proper feeding
and management California can
lead the world in fine hogs. A
correspondence course on swine
husbandry is available for hog
raisers in this state. Information
Of this course can be obtained by
writing to the supervisor of cores,
pondence courses, University OF
California, Berkeley, Calf.
