FL Centre is to have its second
annual dairy day on january 26,
following decision of the board of
directors of the Chamber Of Com
merce at last night s meeting. Re
calling the splendid success of
dairy day in January of this year,
the directors unanimously voted to
promote similar event for 1924.
An invitation will be extended to
the California Dairy Council to con
duet its quarterly meeting in this
city on January 25, so as to parti-
cipate in dairy day ON the Goth. The
quarterly meeting last year was held
in conjunction with dairy day here.
The date chosen also marks the clos
ing day for Il week s. campaign
which will be conducted by the Cal
ifornia Dairy Association among the
school children, to encourage the>use
Of dairy products.
The directors also decided to place
the Chamber of Commerce actively
behind the Ell Centre baseball team
following Il statement to the meet
ing by Jack Taekett, who was APP
pointed manager last week, and Har-
ry Kelly, who has been interested
III FL Centre baseball for several
years. Realizing that good base
ball team is Il decided asset to the
city, the directors, upon the recon-
mandation of Tackett and Kelly,
placed the direction of the team un-
der the supervision of the chambers
entertainment committee. Rodney
Hermon, chairman of the committee,
was appointed to draft from the Z
membership of the chamber, a man
to manage the affairs of the team,
while Jack Tackett will direct the~>
actual playing. With this solution
of the affair, it seems certain that
the uncertainty which has been con-
nected with FL Centre baseball will
be ended and the team started on
the road to victory.
May Have Junior Body

junior Chamber of Commerce, to take
in boys who are past the Boy Scout
age, and not old enough to enter
commercial activities, was discussed

ence of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce of the United States at San
Diego in January.
4 communication was read from
J. B. Bristol, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce at Nogales,
Arizona, on the subject of-gambling
in Mexico territory adjacent to the
international line. The letter was in
reply to one sent by Secretary Coyle
asking what action the Nogales
chamber intended taking to suppress
gambling in Nogales, Sonora. See
rotary Bristol replied that until two
weeks ago, Nogales, Arizona, had
not been troubled with this matter,
gambling not having been tolerated
across the line until that time. The
question has been taken up with
President Obregon of Mexico, who
has been asked to use his influence
to stop gambling in Nogales, Sono-
ia. Bristol s letter stated emphati-
eally that the Nogales Chamber OF
Commerce IL opposed to any move
ment tending to close the interna-
tional line, as this action tends to
create new difficulties and Is GER
tain to bring about retaliation from
Mexican interests.
