DEAT0N GIVEN
$500 FOR OVER
SEAS SERVICE

Sometimes it pays to he 'suck-
er, = and one of the times was made
plain to Officer y. c, peaton of the
FL Centre police department this
morning, when he received 4 check
for 5000 from tho treasurer of the
grand old state of Illinois, repre-
senting his bonus for services rend-
cred during the World War, ut which
time he was Il citizen of the "Suck-
err State. -
1t is almost two years since Hi
nois voted to pay its sons who served
in the World War Il bonus of 30
cents per day for each day in SER
vice, with 4 maximum of $500. Dea-
ton 5 service included S5+ days in
the United States navy. He made
application for payment o the bonus
over a year ago, and had been pa
tiently waiting for some word from
Illinois in the intervening months.
At police headquarters this morn
ing, Deaton was given several ear
loads of advice rs to what he should
do with his money, but disregarded
all of them. The one thing that Dea-
ton would divulge as to his plans is
that he intends to blow his brother
officer, Jimmy Applegate, to suit
of knickerbockers, similar to his
own. so that with Glen Rice, they
may be known as FL Centre s
"Three Musketeers.

The Christmas seals, which are
sold annually at the holiday time Ey

The excellent work which is &c,

Merchants here should offer
prayers\of thankfulness that they
have not, even inadvertently, con-
tributsd one iota towards this
baleful epidemic which has claim
ed at least so per cert of young
girls as its victims. Many par
onts have bewailed the result of
this influence upon their daugh-
ters. Innumerable girl-children,
since the beginning of time, have
heard the plea which has become
the battle cry of Dr. Stolz in his
war on almost said it then, as
MARY, won't you ever learn to

Now DR.. Stolz broadcasts that
the lovely waxen ladies who dis
port themselves in shop windows
wearing =. gorgeous creations in
clothes are responsible for all the
trouble because they pose in
slouchy attitudes which are copied
by the school girls.
DR.. Stolz says fully so per cent
of California high school girls
initiate the anatomically inpos-
sible postures'' of the waxen

SPONSOR PEYCKE
CONCERT HERE

An announcement fraught with
much interest is made today by
Prof. Elmer A. Todd to. the effect
that he has succeeded in complet-
ing arrangements for the appear
ance of Miss Frieda Peycke in this
city on December %. Miss Peycke

of Los Angeles and IS nationally
known through her association with
a well-known company that manu-
features phonograph records.
She is also 4 composer of note and
her readings, set to her own origi-
nal compositions, are delightful and
inspiring.
Prof. Todd will assist on the pro.
gram, which will be presented in the
State Street Christian Church at
popular prices. An interesting fea-
ture is that all proceeds above the
actual expenses involved in putting
on the concert viii be given to the
music fund of the Christian church.
Further announcement will be
made of the program details in a
few days.

Manager. Horne
Is Enthusiastic
On Bank Merger

"The recent merger of the Impcr-
ial Valley Bank with the Pacific
Southwest Trust and Savings Bank
is an interesting and important
event in the financial history of
the Imperial Valley said o. G..
Homo. ice president and manager
of the FL Centre Branch of the Pa
cific-Southwest Bank. tFor several
years the necessity for additional
banking resources to carry on the
farming development of the north
end territory has been apparent.
This merger will supply liquid CAPT
tai to aid in moving crops and give
the farmers of the Brawley and
Calipatria sections assurance that
legitimate needs viii be cared for.
The Pacific Southwest Bank has an
immense program for crOp move
ments in the territory covered by
its unit banks, reaching from
Fresno to Imperial Valley, and the
section covered by the new merger
With no doubt profit from this set
up.
"We are happy to have the Braw-
ley and Calipatria banks come into
cur family. With the high grade
personnel at the head of the new
branches the work outlined for pro-
gress in Imperial County viii he
pushed rapidly. While the branches
viii not lose their individuality the
communities served will gain the
support of the aggregate resources
of the Pacific Southwest group.
Brawley and Caiipatria have eve-y
reason TO look with favor upon the
new arrangement. -

Sources of revenue for the fiscal
year 1925 We're estimated in the
budget as follows:

The British government, Mr..
Coolidge said in his message, un-
der the terms of its debt agreement
with this country, will pay $780,
100000 into the treasury next year,
probably in Liberty bonds. Under
the law these will be retired.
Mr.. Coolidge opened his budget
message with concise review of
the country's finances since the
war. He pointed out that since
August, 1919, when the national
debt was at it's peak of $26,500,000,-
600, it has been reduced nearly
$4,500,O00,000. He then plunged

have spent $40,00O,oO0,O0O and we
have paid current revenues $1S,-

amount Mr.. Coolidge said.

"Certainly the nation which has
thus patiently persisted in meeting
the enormous burden of govern
mental costs is entitled at the ear
liest possible moment to the largest
measure of relief from these bur

The president then referred to the
$309,000,0 900 surplus existing in the
treasury as y result of cautious
economies during the fiscal year
