VALLEY LEAGUE TO
GIVE IMPORT A N T
DECISIONS TODAY

High school students and those
heletically inclined are much in
terested in the outcome of the meet
ing being held today at Imperial of
the Imperial Valley League. The
status of Brawley in the sporting
field and the official winner of
the track meet this spring will be
settled.
Brawley decided recently to play
under the old rules of the Valley
League, thus making it the only
school in the valley not playing un-
der the California Interscholastic
Federation ruling. This naturally
complicates matters in many ways.
Brawley and Ell Centre were the
contestants in the spring track
meet and today's decision will hand
the palm of victory to one of these
schools.
Prof. J. l.. House and Coach Arm

GOOD FURNITURE is
NOT BY ANY MEANS
COSTLY FURNITURE
That Lou Prices Can Never
Command High Quality
UndeniabIe.

Good furniture is never cheap fur
niture. Although a purchase may
represent an excellent value for the
price paid. low price can never COM
mand high quality. Cheap furniture
be lived with for many gears, the
good pieces with a given amount of
money rather than quantity OF
cheaper ones.
In no division of furniture buying
is this more true than with uphol-
stored furniture. Here the price range
for suites of similar appearance is so
great that it is very confusing. Ia
pestry and velour covered threepiece
suites, in popular grades, will range
in price from $3.50 to $3.50, while
special sales will often find them quot
cd still lower. Mohair-covered three
piece suites will range from $3.50 TO
$3.50. in popular grades. with lower
minimum at the time of sales.
Although the housewife may be hard
put 10 see enough difference in quality
10 warrant such n range in price. the
difference is there, and subsequent
usage will make it apparent. \ safe
rule to follow on the present market
is to buy at least a $3.50 three-piece
suite in velour or tapestry, and not
less than $3.50 in mohair. In the
event that the housewife cannot see
her way clear to purchase a complete
suite at the prices suggested, it is far
better to purchase davenport and
one good chair than 10 buy three
cheap pieces. An odd chair 10 match
can ALWAYS be found later,
When it comes 10 a choice OF COW
ering material three elements enter
in. The first. of course, is taste and
desire: the second, wearing qualities.
and the third. price. All coverings
are in good taste-tapestries, velourS,
feathers, damasks, etc. The popular
grades of velour and tapestry are
about the same in price, while mo-
hair is more expensive. A good grade
of mohair is almost wearproof, ex-

perience proving that it will outvear
leather. Being Of high-grade wool,
however, il is readily attacked BY
moths, hence care must be exercised
in guarding against these pests. But
this one objection should not mitigate
against mohair since the ordinary
precepts of cleanliness. will serve TO
prevent moth rsvages.
1t is not a good policy to purchase
combination mohair and velour"
furniture, especially if the velour is
used to cover the arms. 1t is evident
that the arms receive the hardest
wear, hence yelour-covered arms will
! wear out much sooner than the mo-
hair on the piece. Velour on the out
side arms and back is not objections
able since these parts receive no di.
rect wear.
When it comes to the inside con-
struction of upholstered furniture, this
can largely be determined by the price
of the goods. A carefully constructed
job with high-grade materials viii
naturally cost more than cheaply-
