More Than 100
att. V. Hardware
Annual Outing

Officers and employees of the I'M
perial Valley Hardware company,
with their wives and families num-
bering over 100 people, spent an en-
joyable day yesterday at Live Oaks
at the company annual picnic to
its employees.
The chief item of interest in the
days enjoyment, was the beating
administered to employees of the
Brawley store, by the gang from
the home store in this city. The
battle turned into slaughter of
the innocents, and, in the cause of
humanity, was stopped after five
innings. "Smoke' Whitaker, of
the local store, kidded the Brawley
gang along for two innings and
let them get seven runs, putting
them in high glee. The locals then
trotted their star southpaw, "Can-
non" Riley, to the mound, and not
withstanding the old man hasn t
pitched in nearly so years, he stopp-
ed the northern elan and eneourag-
ed the local maulers to go after
them. When the smoke had cleared
away, the Brawley gang was lying
about the grounds painting for
breath, and the Ell Centre sluggers
had chalked up IL runs. big
Chief Aufderhide, of Ell Centre,
claims the score of II to 7 was made
in baseball, and not in crap game.
Howard P. Meyer of Ell Centre
won all the honors in the QUOT
pitching contests and after investi-
CATION of his record proved he is
not professional, was awarded
first prize of two quarts of Brad
ley s striped paint.
Following the athletic contest,
the picnickers enjoyed dandy
feed, and here again Ell Centre took
all honors, thanks to the able assis-
tance rendered by Glen Rice, which
permitted them to out-eat the repre-
sentatives from all other stores COM

Legion Regrets
Criticism of Ell
Centre Merchants

Criticism of FL Centre merchants
who have agreed to close their
places of business from n. m. un-
til l p. m. or Memorial Day. is
unjustified, according to the Rev.
George A. Hartman, commander Of
Boyce Aten Post, American Legion,
as their action is in conformity
with the wishes of the Legion, the
Spanish War Veterans, the Elks
Lodge and the Rotary Club, all of
whom are cooperating in n fitting
observance of Memorial Day.
After considerable discussion of
the matter, the local post of the
Legion voted to ask the merchants
to close during the hours specified.
and their action was supported by
the other organizations. The OBJ
ject was to induce the people of Ell
Centre to observe Memorial Day
as it should be observed, in paving
tribute to the dead who took part
in the various wars of their eoun.
try.
Had the merchants been asked 20
close all day, the Legion men say
that all to whom holiday is given,
will go to the mountains or else
where, ana as Iar as the heroic
dead are concerned. no attention
will be paid to them. With the
business houses c:oEed only during
the hours of the memorial service,
the people will be given IN oppor-
tnnity to pay the dead the tribute
that is due them.
1t was learned today that a
second petition has been circulated
among the business men, asking
them to close all day on Memorial
Day, and DR.. Hartman stated em-
phatically this morning, that this
is not sponsored by the Legion, nor
the other organizations. The in
justice of subjecting the business
men to criticism because they re-
fuse to sign this eleventh hour pc
tition is greatly deplored by the or
ganizations in charge of Memorial
Day, said DR.. Hartman, and he
wishes it understood that none of
this criticism comes from the Le-
gion, or the organizations associat-
ed with, it.
