Fourth Baby in
Press Staff in
Year

The Imperial Valley Press
seems to be in high favor with
Old Man Stork.
For the fourth time within
year, he has rested his flapping
wings upon the threshold of

deposited his precious small
burden of humanity.
The latest addition to the
Press family is James Vernon

Ell Centre couple.
The young man, who weighs
seven pounds, arrived at the
Paradise Valley Sarttarium in

so he got a chance to see and
1dm W she new A rival. He Is
receiving congratulations today
at the CITY hall and declare he
has already enrolled the new
conner in the Coolidge ranks. In
cidentally, he's so excited over
the great event that he's get
ting his rows of figures all
juggled up today.
Mrs. Schofield, who was form
erly book-keeper at the Press, is
reported as doing we'll.
Less than year ago, the srork

family by bringing a little
daughter to Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.

.JEWELRY SHOULD
MATCH THE FROCK
TO BE IN STYLE

.Jewelry is Il clever costume ac-
cessory. Years ago women bought
jewelrv sparingly, wore it on special
occasions only and preserved it for
their children. Rightly, no doubt,
it was rare and precious and there
was less of accumulated wealth.
Today many women buy jewelry
as they buy blouses, hats and shoes,
because one harmOniZes with the
other and together they make a
complete picture. Just as their ward
robes contain assOrtments of gloves,
Hosiery and gowns, so do their jewel
hcXes, and what pleases one sea-
SON, in another is thrown aside as
having served its purpose.
Jcwelry is novelty. Like trim
ming items--braid, ribbon, lace,
embroidery, buttons and neckwear
modern jewelry brings color and
individuality to the gown, and rs
these trimming novelties change in
style and character 50, too, does
;eWelry.
