13 Recruits For
Army Obtained
Here in January

Through the efforts of Corporal
Stanislaus Noonan, who is in charge
Of the local recruiting office for
the United States Army ,l3 recruits
have thus far been received hero
during the present month. OF the
total received, seven, or more than
80 per cent, were former service
men, proving that army life has
lost little of its attraction, even IN
time of peace.
Noonan, who is better known as
"Pat', is rather superstltious
about the 13 number and would
like 20 make the total ut least l4
before sending in his reports for
the month of January.
His work has received the reeog-
milton it deserves from his superiors,
who have been greatly pleased
with the good results he has, OBJ
tanned here, in what has always been
believed a limited field.
The office was honored last week
by a visit from Major General Mar
tin. commander of the Ninth Army
Corps, who was on tour OF inspec-
tion Of his territory, stopping over
here for short time on his way
from San Diego to Yuma.

English Traveller
Praises Roads on
Borderland Line

Strong praise for the roads which
make up the Borderland highway,
the southern transcontinental route,
was expressed recently when he
passed through FL Centre on his
way from New York to San Diego
by automobile, by II. IL. Weather
ly Of London.
''It doesn't make much differ
cnce what route you take to Kan
sas city, he said. "From there
on it is very important. tra-
eled some in Missouri, but if my
business hadn I called me I never
would have done it. Missouri is
one of the richest states but has
spent comparatively nothing for
roads, it seemed to me, Judging
by the condition of the highways.
Arizona, q sparsely settled state,
has roads that are so much better
than those of Missouri that there
can be no comparison. -
Weatherly made his trip by way
of Indianapolis, Springfield, Han
nibal, Kansas City, Hutchinson, La
Junta, Trinidad, Santa Fe, Albu-
querque, Socorra, Las Cruces, Dem
ming, Lordsburg, Douglas, Yuma and
Fl Centro. The roads over the last
400 miles were so good that he
travelled the distance in II hours,

.iuother Reminder TO
Poy The SOC Tax

That the immediate payment Of
the so cent per capita biennial tax
by members of tine Woman s Ten
Thousand Club will b, greatly appre
ciated by the executive board was
stated by one of its officials today.
Though it is doubtless nothing more
than an oversight which has caused
the non-payment by nearly 30 Of the
club women, those responsible for
the forwarding of the Ten Thousand
Clubs quota are being placed in
an embarrassing and inconvenient
position.
AS at present the only way of OBJ
tanning the remainder of the quota is
by personally calling ON those who
have not paid, it is believed that q
gentle reminder WI be sufficient
to cause the prompt payment, thus
saving the officers from the task
of personally collecting so many
small amounts.

was featue of the delicious menu.
Perhaps the most original feature
Of the affair was found Ill the place
cards, which were phot ographs, most
of which had been taken by the

sented some view typical Of Imperial

of this city, and each place card
was i'll turn particularly appropriate
to the person whose place it marked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen p. Nuffer made
the high scores of the evening ut the
bridge tables following the dinner,
while the Drs. Elliott were the re
eipients of a most appreciated guest
prize, which consisted of a photo
graph book in which various "place
cards' had been mounted. AS the
guests had expressed their surprise
and pleasure at receiving their PIC
lures which they assumed they were
to keep, much merlment was occa-
stoned when it was discovered that
the hostess had collected them in the
book that was to serve the Elliotts
not only a a rcminder Of many spots
in Imperial Valley, but also of this
special group of friends.
Those hidden by Mr.. and Mrs,
Horne to honor the Elliotts were Mr..
and Mrs. c. +. Paris, Mr.. and Mrs.
James w. Glassford, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leroy Holt, Mr.. and Mrs. Will S.
