Mission Workers
Hold Services
at Co. Jail, Farm

The Independent Home Mission
Work, under the leadership of Mrs.
w. p. Anderson and group of faith
full associates is accomplishing much
good at the county farm and county
Jail by holding services every Sun
day afternoon.
Last Sunday several Holtville men
and women, including A. White, and
Mrs. l.. Hamon, well known religi-
GUS workers, visited the county Jail
and conducted prayer and song SER
vice. The results were more than
gratifying, according to Mr.. Ander-
son, who states that some of those
who seemed the most indifferent
were most enthuiastic after the meet
ing and asked the band to return.
On Easter Sunday special ser
vice has been planned for the coun-
ty farm at o'clock in the after
noon, to be followed by similar
one at the county Jail at 4 p. m. s
Any who are interested in the
work are cordially invited to be pre-
sent at these services.

ASK UNCLE SAM
TO BEAR COST
LETTUCE BUREAU.
Farm Bureau Urges It
Be Handled Same as
CantalOupes

Again taking up the cause of the
producer of Imperial Valley crops,
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
is now working toward the perman-
ent establishment of the Market
News Service in this city by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture for the period of the lettuce
season each year.
To the general public the mean
ing of this movement, which has
been opened by letter from the
Bureau to Congressman Phil D.
Swing, may not at first be appar-
ent, as the Market News Service
has operated here during the past
two lettuce seasons. But when thye
become aware of the fact that let
tuce men of the county and busi-
ness men and bankers of this city
and Brawley pay the bills for this
government service the advantages
of it's being paid for by the gov
ernment are apparent.
According to the Farm Bureaus
communication to Congressman
Swing, there is a Department of
Agriculture appropriation for the
Market News Service for the can
taloupe season. For this reason,
the bureau believes that it is un-
just that funds be raised locally for
the service for one crop, when the
government provides for the other,
with the exception Of a compara-
lively small sum for kilograms and
incidentals.
$500 Paid This Season
Acting as collector for the lettuce
news fund this season, M. B.
o 'Brien, local grower and shipper,
states that approximately $500 has
been paid in for the maintenance
of this service, which closed few
days ago. Included in this amount
are contributions from about 81
per cent of the lettuce shippers of
the county.
Mr.. O'Brien further states that
the lettuce men wish to acknow-
ledge contributions from the Pacific
Southwest Bank, the Hotel Barbara
Worth, the Oregon Hotel, the Val
ley Steam Laundry, the Imperial
Valley Hardware Company, the
Channel Commercial Company, the
Golden State Milk Products Com
pany and the B. Salomon Company,
all of this city, and the Pacific
Southwest Bank, the California
Pine Box Distributors and the
Southern Trust and Commerce Bank,
of Brawley.
In closing, the Farm Bureau let
Ter, signed by c. c. Jenkins, man
ager, requests that the necessary
appropriation for this service be
made in the yearly budget of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. 1t also asks Swing to ego
into the matter thoroughly and rem
der every assistance possible to Sc
cure the necessary appropriation to
keep this service in good working
order and to permit of its ex-
pansion as the needs of the various
industries required. -

One morning there sounded a

door of Uncle Wiggily s hollow
stump bungalow.
"That can t be the Fox, or Wolf,

man, who was putting on his hat
to hop out and look for an adven-

Alaskan States
They Manufacture
Arti fetal Ice

Making artificial ice in Alas
ka would appear to Mr.. Average
Citizen in the states as being
about as necessary as carry
ing Goals to Newcastle. - If
you are numbered among those
of The opinion, listen here.
H. c. Strong, proprietor of
an artificial ice plant at Kitchi-
kan, Alaska, which has ca
pacitY of 100 tons a day, was in
El Centre on Saturday and he
declared that natural Aiee was
almost unknown there.
"Our climate is scarcely ever
cold enough for water to freeze
to make natural ice,' he said.
"We have al average rainfall
of $50 inches at Kitchikafi every
year and very seldom do we
have a severe frost.
Kitchikan is a fishing town
of about 5000 inhabitants and
is the most southern city of
Alaska, being located on small
island a short distance south of
Wrangell. The wind there blows
inland throughout the year so
that the temperature is rela
lively even. Up to the latter
part of January when Mr..
Strong came south, he said there
had not been a single severe
frost.
The ice plant, which Mr..
Strong owns and operates, is
modern plant and serves the
fishing industries there. Prac-
tically all the ice used is for
packing fish. Large crushers
capable of handling many tons
of ice daily break the blocks in
to small pieces which are shot
through four inch flexible
pipes, which distribute the ice
over the shipments of fish.
Mr.. Strong said that this was
his first<tr1p down in Imperial
Valley and he expressed his en-
joyment of the evidences of de-
velopment here. He left yes
terday after making a brief
tour Of Ell Centre and neighbor-
ing places.

Coal markets show little activi-

- Some Unemployment
"When it comes to the discussion
of the commodities connected with
wearing apparel statistics do 4 not
preserl. such an optimistic condition.
Production Of textiles, shoes and
other forms of clothing is declining
owing to the falling off of the
demand for these goods. This devel-
opment is resulting in considera bic
unemployment in the textile, leath-
er and other ceEsers. The cotton
industry is operating at about 80
per cent capacity. Whether this
slackening is due to weather con
ditions or to the new habits of life
brought in by the automobile is a
debated question. Probably both
are responsible for causing people
tot buy fewer clothes and to wear
out fewer pairs of shoes. When
people are paving for an automobile
on the installment plan they must
economic on something else. More
over the more they ride the less
they walk. In any event shoes are
suffering. In January 1924 produc
tion of 86,400,Q00 pairs falls consid-
erably below the figure 3O,740,000
made in January 1923. The hide
and leather market suffer correspond
ingly. Statistics on the men and
boy s clothing show that business is
falling off. Production of WOODEN
suits this year is running about 20
per cent below the figure of last
year. All of these statistics are
now available in the Department of
Commerce in Washington and will
become more and more valuable as
they are studied in connection with
these industries. Although the De
partment of Justice has apparent
ly tried to discourage publication of
such figures / am convinced that
Secretary Hoover, who favors their
publication, will win out. 1t may
be to the advantage of special in
tcrests and to spectators to have
the court sustain ex Secretary
Daughcrty opinion, but the col
lection and publication of these fig
ures are distinctly to the benefit
of the average business man. If we
are over eating Or under eating or
have somo other physical i'll the
sooner we know about it the bot
ter and the same principle applies
to general business.
General activity as reflected by
the Babsonchart -, concluded Mr..
Babson, is running at 6 per cent
below normal as compared with =
per cent above normal on January
1at, 1924 and is per cent above nor
mai year ago. The recent drop is
due to exceptionally large failure
