The IllustriOus
Mary Garden
Sees |. Y.

Mary Garden, the noted Am-
erican diva, passed through I'll
Centre Yesterday afternoon on
her way from San Diego TO
Houston, Texas, with members
of her opera company. The
party occupied several compartr
mcnts on the San Diego and
Arizona Sunset Limited.
Charles F. Matlin, travelling
agent for the railroad, who
made the trip oyer from san
Diego with the party, said today
that the singer was cnthusias-
tie about the scenic beauties of
Carriso Gorge, which she said
was comparable only to the
Grand Canyon as one of the
wonder spots of the American
continent.
Imperial Valley also came
in for her praise. Mary had
been Of the opinion that cast
of San Diego was nothing but
desert, and was agrecably SUR
priscd when she saw the fertile,
fields of the valley on either
side Of the train. She was great
ly interested in the story of
the reclamation of the valley,
and asked interested questions
about crops, land prices, and lily
ing conditions here.
Upon her arrival in FL Ccntro,
where Mr.. MItlin left the train,
she expressed her appreciation
for cOuITcsips shown her on tho
trip and dcclard she hoped that
she would havc an opportunity
to return here in the future and
become better acquainted with
Imperial Valley.

SAN FRANCISCO MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO. October 90
A quiet tone pervaded local poultry
and game, fruit and vegetable mar
kets today.
The only activity noticeable in
the poultry market was in the trade
on fancy leghorn hens.
Three cars of late Howe cranber-
ries were received from the east
with the local opening price gen
orally reported at SIG per bagrel.
On account of light frost the last
few days, many fresh vegetables
We're in lighter supply and slightly
higher in price. Brown onions are
bringing as high rs $l.S5 per cwt.
Mt the wharf. Fancy cucumbers sold
up to $3.50 per large lug. Toma-

SCHOOL SAVINGS SYSTEM I 4
WILL BE INAUGURATED
SOON IN LOCAL SCHOOLS

With the motto every pupil q
savings bank depositor,' City Super
intendent A. P. Shibley announces
that a school savings system is about
to- be inaugurated in the elementary
schoe4s of this city.
The aim of this interesting inno-
vation in the local schools as stated
by Mr. Shibley is two-fold: To
teach thrift in money matters, and
to instruct the rising generation in
the economics of practical banking
1t is, of course, the welfare Of the
next generation, and not the money
collected which is the aim of the
system.
According to the present plan, the
children who desire to open accounts
will choose in which one Of the three
local banks they wish to make their
deposits. From the bankers point
of view the accounts will be of no
financial importance, as the individ-
ual amounts deposited will be com
paratively small, and the detail of
keeping the books will be greater
than the benefit received from the
deposits. However, the three local
banks have expressed themselves us
very willing to do their part and
have already ordered special forms,
and in one case an automatic de-
posting machine, for the use of the
youthful capitalists.
Further details of the exact meth
DDS to be employed in the collecting
of the money at the various school
houses will be announced in few
days. .
Save Five Million
To those who are not familiar with
the school savings system which is
now found in all parts of the coun
try, n few figures based on the
school year 1922, which are the
most recent available, may prove of
interest.
In that year $5,771, ,122.32
was deposited by school child
rem. This was an Increase of 40
per cent over the previous years
deposits, and represented 4785
schools in which the system
was in use. Over 100000 pu-
pills were depositors. The aver
age gross deposit for that per-
iod was S4.31, the average net
deposit $2.42.
Since that time the system has
grown amazingly and found favor
where ever it has been put into
use.
From figures recently compiled at
the Wilson school, an amazingly
large amount Of spending money was

found that an amount amply suffi

ASTROLOCER TO

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Oct. 90
Thrice postponed, the trial of Ar
thur Covell, invalid astrologer,
charged with plotting the death of
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ebba Covell,
was scheduled TO start in the Co
guile circuit court today. kA4
Prospective jurymen have been
summoned to appear and it is not
probable the trial will be again
postponed, eours officials believed.
Selection of the jury will perhaps
take up AN unusual length of time,
due to the great interest and wide
spread publicity given the case
throughout the county.
Covell's plea, according to his at
torney, will be insanity. The. bed

two years ago in an automobile ac-

Central Union won the first game
of the season when she defeated

est fought games ever played in
the valley. 49,,
The game icld many thrills for
the spectators, as both sides used
an aerial game extensively. In the
middle of the second quarter, Head
of Brawley carried the ball around
rightend This WAS accomplished
by what is know as the hidden ball
trick.
During the second half Ell Cen
tro came back strong and Bobbie
Allen of Ell Centre scored touch
down. FL Centre then dropped II
kick making tie deciding point of
the game. Those deserving a great
deal of credit were Capt. Scott, Al
fred, Alien and Sawyer.
Ell Centre has clear sailing from
now ON, as Brawley is supposed TO
have one of the strongest teams
in the valley.

Spelling Matches

Occasionally we read in other papers
Of community spelling matches" and
recently we read Of one in a training
school for teachers. The fact was re-
vealed in this school that some Of our
teachers We're as proficient in spelling
as their ancestors were. while many
were deficient.
While our schools are making great
progress in many ways we should not
get away from the practice Of spelling
and these spelling bees will inspire
students to give more attention to this
study
For several years il has been the
consensus Of Opinoin among editors

attention was being paid to spelling as
there was 20 years ago.
