INTERNAL REVENUE
BUREAU Gu TIN C
OPERATION COSTS

That the Internal Revenue Bu
reau is cutting its expense Of oper-
alton to the core, and intends to
keep well within its annual budget
is evidenced by an order received
yesterday by Collector Rex Goodcell
in which his attention is called to
the fact that due to the transfer Of
distilled spirits to government con-
centration bonded warehouses, there
are on the payrolls of some cellec-
ton districts a greater number of
storekeeper-gaugers than is permis-
sible under the regulations.
All collectors of internal revenue
are instructed to reduce their force
of storekeepers gaugers to the num-
ber that is "indispensably neces-
sary for the performance of the
duty required.
The instructions provide that in
the event of reduction in the force
employed, that no honorably dis
charged sailor or soldier whose rec
ord is good shall be discharged or
reduced in rank or salary.

MIR. AUTO OWNER,
THIS CONCERNS YOU

For their own protection and in
order to comply with the State
Motor Vehicle Act, automobile
owners are advised by Chief Of Po-
lice Barker to make certain their
automobile registration certificates
are prominently displayed in their
ears. The Motor Vehicle Act speci-
fies that the certificates must be
placed where they can be easily
seen, n condition that is overlooked
by the majority of automobile own
ers according TO check up of
automobiles parked along the streets
last night, by the police. Between
- anu 50 ears were tagged and
their owners notified TO place their
certificates where they can be seen.
In discussing this matter this
morning, Chief Barker said the pro-
tcctoin of the owner demands that
his certificate should be in his car.
Quite often they are left in the ga
Iage, or carried on the owner s per-
son. Then, should il happen that
the ear rs stolen, II deiaVS tue pos
sibility of recovery. If the car is
picked up in some other city, there
is nothing to show who owns it, and
the police are forced to look through
the state directory for the owner 5
name, or if they have no directory,
to write to Sacramento. 1t is there
fore the greater part of month
before the owner can get his ear
back, whereas it would take only
q day or two if the registration
certificate is where it should be.
Operator S licenses should be ear
ried on the person. Traffic Off
Ger Charles Schlanze has been in
structed to check up on Ell Centro
automobiles, and see that the law
regarding certificates is being OBJ
served.

Burgers Cows
Carry Off All
Testing Honors

During the week ending May l3
A. Burger of Alamitos carried off
all the henors in the Imperial Coun-
ty Farm Bureau Cow Testing Asso-
citation. He had the highest herd
average, the highest producing COW
and the largest number of 40 pound
cows for the week. He milked 27
cows which averaged 35.l pounds
butterfat each for the month. His
high cow produced 66.4 pounds but
teffat for the month and eight .of
his % cows produced 40 pounds or
more of butterfat for the month. w.
b. Havekorst of Meloland was not
far behind, however. His % COWS,
Of which Is are first calf heifers,
averaged SO pounds butterfat each
for the month. His high COW pro-
dueed SIG pounds butterfat for the
mouth and six of his % cows pro-
dneed 40 pounds or more of butter
fat for the month. Burger fed only
pasture, while Havekorst fed pas
tute and hay.
81 Herds Tested
Twenty one herds including 567
cows were tested during the week,
40 of the 567 cows produced 40
pounds or more Of butterfat for the
month. Twenty one Improbable
cows were culled during the week.
This shows that dairymen are using
the cow testing records to Gull out
low producing cows and thus in
crease the income from their herd.
Dairvmen who are not having
their cows tested at the present
time will be interested to know that
there is now room for about three
herds in the cow testing association.
These vacancies have been caused
by members who have sold their
cows. If any dairyman wishes to
begin testing his cows, he should
apply at the farm bureau office at
Gao Main street, Ell Centre.

that Espinosa rendered a check to

was originally made out by Jap

seven was made so that it appeared
as though a one preceded it. The
word seven, written out in the body
of the check had "teen" added to

had done so, therefore the court or
