Plan Reception
For New JOiners
Baptist. Church

A big meeting for Thursday
night of this week is planned at the
First Baptist church, as fitting
aftermath of the recent series of
evangelistic meetings which came
to a, most successful close on Sun
day evening, when the last service
was held with a large audience pre-
sent which included many from both
the local and the Calexico Baptist
churches. New members will be re-
sceived at the. coming meeting and
an Informal reception to greet them
and a SOCIAL time at the close will
be held.
Due to the unique methods of
Evangelist Weakland, his, clear
statements of. the great truths OF
the scriptures, his unfailing good
humor, his practical ideas of the ap-,
plication of the Christian life and
his downright sincerity, he made
friends among all who heard him.
The splendid work of the church
choir. with Mrs. r. M. Armstrong as
pianist and director also added much
to the success of the pre- Easter
series. -
T. J. Tucker of CaleXico, who led
the congregational singing, and who
himself rendered a number of fine
and helpful solos, added to the in
terest of the services.
Rev. c. f. Flanagan, pastor, to-
day expressed his thanks to the I'M
perial Valley Press for publicity re-
garding the services.

BOTH LEAGUES in
FIRST GAMES OF
SEASON OF 1924
Yanks Heavy Favorites
Reds, Giants Divide
HOnOrs
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)

NEW YORK, April 15.-The old
bark of the umpires, chatter of the
roachers and clatter of brass bands
echoed far and wide today as base
ball returns for another long run in
the National and American Leagues
and the American Association.
The Natioal League will get
away with Brooklyn at New York;
Boston at Philadelphia; Chicago at
St Louis and Pittsburgh at Gin.
einnati
The American League will open
with New York at Boston; Philadel-
phia at Washington; Cleveland at
Detroit and st. Louis at Chicago.
Officials and club owners of the
big leagues have reason to expect
another reason "bigger and better
than ever.' Interest is just as in
tense, in the game, the competition
is believed keener in the two pen
nant races and the demand for tick
cts in the opening games indicated
large year. Interest in the two
pennant races will be centered
principally in the attempt of the
two New York clubs to make a new
record by winning four champion
chips in a row.. No team in modern
days has been able to win more than
three successive pennants.
Yankees Are Favored
The New York Yankees have
been picked by practically all Of
the experts as heavy favorite in
the American League pennant race
with the Cleveland Indians and the
Detroit Tigers as the chief con-
tenders.
Opinion is divided about the Ma
tional League race. Some critics
favor the strong Cincinnati Reds
while others believe that. the Giants
have picked up enough pitching to
hold their own in the race.
Both leagues have been changed
greatly since the season closed last
year. There are many new mana
gers, many changes of personnel
and about 100 young ball players up
to make good on the big time.
Babe Ruth, of course, will be a
big feature of the season again. He
will be feature, either winning
or losing.
The attempted comeback of
George Sisler, now manager of the
st. Louis Browns will also arouse
lot of interest among the Amer
lean League fans.

SAD DAYS

Did you ever have fence? One
that went all around your house and
had a big gate at the front and a
little gate at the back, Within little
gate always broken from your swing
ing on it? And did you ever pretend
that everything inside the fence was
your kingdom and that the neigh
boris chickens and his cat were
'sneaking foreign thieves who would
'stoop even to stealing radishes out
of your fathers garden and your
own cats mice out of your woodshed.
There is something alluring about
a house enclosed by fence, and
something comfortable about living
in that house. There is a sense. of
dominion which only fence can
give and also an attitude of dignity
and restraint which apparently the
world has lost.
For fences have gone out of style.
and now the neighbours chickens
board regularly on your fathers gar
den patch and the neighoor's cat and
your cat pool the few mice they catch
in your garage.-Emporia Gazette.

COST OF RUNNING AUTOS

It cost 1-3 cents a mile to own
and operate a popular-price auto.
This ts shown by an extensive check
up OF three of the cheaper makes of
cars, according to The Wall Street
Journal.
Five and third cents a mile
is the average figure. Some cost
more, others less. Depends lot on
the driver and the care devoted to
the car.
How does the record of your own
bus tally with this average In max
ing comparisons, you note that TO
drive even a cheap car costs about
twice as much as trip by railroad.
Street cars give much cheaper SER
vice. But the auto driver has the sat
isfaction of ownership, privacy and

desires instead Of following steel

The average family drives a car
5000 miles a year or about IA miles
a day, the investigators decided It's
estimated that 1856 year (511 a
week. operates the family bus and
provides. money for its replacement
by new car at the end of seven
years.
The investigators figured gasoline
at 20 cents gallon, 20 miles TO a
gallon or $50 year:
Oil at 20 cents a quart, $50 miles to
a quart 81 a year.
Tires $50 a set for $4,000, or $40 a
year.
Repairs, striking a seven year ay-
erage, $50 year
Insurance against fire and theft,
SIS a year.
Depreciation is estimated as being
one-seventh of the original cost, each
year, of $55.
Garage rent is entered at $72 q
year This is the largest single item
of costs Of operation and ownership.
The cost per mile is dropping
each year, the Wall Street Journal
/, claims, 1t quotes auto engineers as
predicting that before long all cheap
cars will be stored ''in the open"
, and a large part of the item of gar
age rent eliminated.
Five dollars or so a week for run
ming a car doesn't seem much in these
. days when a dollar is worth only go
cents in buying powers compared to
what it bought before the war But
if any one had predicted such an ex-
penditure 20 years or more ago, the
orage person would have gazed re-
f1ectively in the direction of the poor
house.
