Carnival Strong
Man Is to Give
Public Exh i b ii

Residents of El Centre will be
given an opportunity Saturday
night at O'Clock, to witness the
spectacle of man using his teeth
to haul an automobile loaded with
passengers from Sixth street to
Fifth street on Main. This Sam
SON. act, was postponed from last
Saturday night, owing to the in
element weather and is to be given
under the auspices of the Ell Centre
Lodge of Elks as a sample Of the
acts will be shown at their carni-
val which will be held in this city
next week to raise funds for the
charitable work conducted by the
local lodge throughout the year.
The Elks have arranged with c.
A. Wortham 8 combined carnivals
to show in this city all next week,
and a gala time is assured for all
who attended. An automobile is 10
be given away during the carnival
and many attractive and entertain
ing features will be provided.
In accordance with its policy,
the entertainment committee of the
Elks has carefully investigated
every attraction that will be with
the Wortham Shows, despite the
fact that this carnival company
has a splendid reputation for the
quality of its performances, and the
people of FL Centre can rest assur-
ed that nothing Objectionable or
questionable will be shown, it was
stated today by member of the
committee.
Although little is ever said about
it, the Elks devote considerable
time and energy each year to help
those in unfortunate circumstances,
irrespective of color, creed or con-
dition, and their appeal for funds
to carry on this work, has always
met with hearty response from
the people of this city.

Covered Wagons" Quantity
Complete in Every Detail, u
See Valley in Long Tour

That considerable westbound con-
tinental auto travel is now COM
ing TO the Pacific Coast via I'm
perial Valley mas become evident
from the number of machines that
have arrived in this city recently
by way Of Yuma.
Today much attention was at
tracted by the appearance of sew
eral "houses on Wheels Two of
these automobiles, which were com
pletely equipped for comfortable
living were surrounded by interest
ed observers during the time they
were parked on Main street. One
of the machines. driven by Mr.. and
Mrs. J. P. MeCannon of Danvillc,
Illinois, proved most complete, and
when one of the Press staff was
invited in "to see the house. Il
most homelike atmosphere was
found. PotteJ ferns, two couches
covered with gay Navajo rugs, Il
big wall mirror, writing desk and
other furniture completely hid from
view a complete outfit for cooking
| and serving meals.
In the party from Illinois was an
other "covered wagon similarly
equipped and also a roadster VII
a delivery body carrying supplies
and additional equipment in the
form of poles, shovels, etc. to be
used in case bad roads were en-
countered.
The McCannons and their party
are on a vacation trip, but may
decide like many more to make
their home in California. They
have been cnroute about three
weeks.
Here from Nendocina Co.
Another party noted yesterday,
who were touring in specially con
structed machine completely fitted
out for living, was made up of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. +. Thomas, their
daughter Mrs. n. Henslev and small
| grandson. This. machine and its oc
| cuparts was found to be from
Ukeah, Nendocina county, in the
northern part of California.
Starting early in July from their
fome north of San Francisco, these
people are now headed home after
completing 1900 mile tour of
the United States, which included
travelling through 90 states and two
Canadian provinces. From Portland,
Oregon TO Portland, Maine, up into
New Brunswick, down TO New York
and Washington and back by way
CT the Mexican border with no Sc
rious motor trouble made up their
interesting trip.
Thomas. when questioned as -
whether or not any attempt was
made TO induce his party TO omit
Imperial Valley from their itinerary
and take the Mecca Blythe route
remarked ''notiing but. - He then
told of the many times they were
warned against the Yuma route,
Lorsburg and Socora, New Mexico,
being the places where they were
particularly disuaded. Less talk of
