Local Women Are,
Back From Trip

Mrs. William \. Fleming, Mrs.
Thomas Gin and Mrs. Frank Sio-
cum returned Saturday from a ten
days auto trip TO Los Angeles
and intervening points. The wo-
man drove both ways and declare
that the trip was delightful until
the bad stretch of road between
Westmorland and the paved high
way was reached. This was in
wretched condition, due to the
heavy rains, and the women were
unanimous in declaring their belief
that one of the most important
things before the county at present
IS the paving of this short stretch
of road.
The women encountered u auto
mobiles at Banning, travelling III 4
party from Colorado. Inquiry rs
TO the condition of the roads in
Imperial County elected the mfor-
nation that the entire party had
come in over the Mecca Blythe road
declaring that ''they had been re-
commended to take thai route.
They declared that the road was in
miserable shape and the appearance
of the cars bore out this testimony,
the local travellers state.
This again seems to bear out the
assertion that subtle propaganda is
at work to divert travel from the
Yuma Holtville route.

Each year, the Elks Christmas
celebration is looked forward to by
many FL Centre, children, who

and the fact that all the necessities
have been obtained at this early
date, proves that the Elks are tax

New York Cotton Exchange Has Day Of Quiet Trading

NEW YORK, March 20.--The cot ton market was comparatively quiet and irregular today. After selling at 30.93 at the start, May rallied to 31.15 but later eased off to rearIy the early low level and closed at 51.o3 The general market closed steady 2 to 10 points net lower.
 The market opened steady II to 25 points lower in response to easier Liverpool cables and prospects for slightly better weather in the south. There was scattering liquidation and some selling for southern account on the opening decline, but the offerings were well taken with Liverpool a buyer and prices soon stiffened up. March did not fully recover the early loss but May and later deliveries sold about to points net higher, with July advancing to 30:38 and October to 26.94. The demand then tapered off and the market was very quiet later. Bulges appeared to meet scat tering liquidation. however, and the close was 12 to 19 points off from the best on May and later deliveries.
 The bulge following the opening decline was promoted by reports of a better tone in Manchester and a rally in Liverpool. while there may also have been little buying on the hope of a settlement of labor dis- putes in New England or prospects that clearing weather in the south today might be followed by unsettled co- -Iitions tomorrow.
