Indigestion
May Lead to
Appendicitis

Repeated attacks of indigestion
often lead to serious inflammation
of the stomach and intestinal tract.
This inflammation may finally ex-
I tend to the appendix, which usual
ly becomes infected through the
presence of foul, irritating matter
in the bowels.
1t doesn' t pay TO ignore even the
most simple warnings Of digestive
trouble. Neglect is responsible for
much misery. Uneasiness at the
pit of the stomach, sour taste in the
mouth, excessive gas, heartburn,
nausea, vomiting, bitter risings, con
stipation ,biliousness, dizzy spells
and palpitation of the heart after
eating are some of the most common
symptoms of poor digestion.
If you are subject to any form
stomach distress, don't fail to try a
bottle of Smith Bros. M. A. c., the
guaranteed stomach treatment. This
wonderful medicine usually gives
prompt relief from all discomfort.
In fact, it is sold on positive
guarantee of money back if the first
bottle fails to do so. A large bot
tie costs but $1.25. Loynd's Drug
Store will supply you. Mail orders
accepted. adv

Northend Man
Gets Patent on
Improved Baler

CALIPATRIA, June 40 local in
ventor, H. M. Theobold, has just re-
ceieved his patent papers for an
improved hay baler which, he says,
will cut labor and expense to n mini
mum. 1t is combination tractor
baler that picks the hay up out of
the windrow and is operated by an
engineer and two men to tie the
bales. Mr.. Theobold is working on
a thing device and when it is per-
fected he believes the baler can be
run by one man. This machine, he
declares will bale between 40 and 80
tons a day.
The hay-abling season is more
than half over and thousands of
tons of barley and alfalfa hay have
been handled so far. The yield is
good this year and the average is
from one TO two tons per acre, re-
ports indicate. One field of barley
hay baled out almost four tons to
the acre. This was on the O'Neil
ranch Just west of town.

Today's Wedding Ring is Tiny
Affair Compared With Bulky
CircIets Our Mothers Wore

The month of June always brings
us face to face with brides and that
in turns means wedding rings. That
gradual change has evolved in the
last - years in the style of wedding
rings is most evident through OBJ
servation and q visit to the local
jewellers shops where active shop
ping in wedding rings is reported
during the last few weeks.
The latest fashion in wedding
rings appears to be extremely mar
row bands of white gold. While a
number of them are engraved in
display a more formal design. The
double ring ceremony has become
Ia mode, so now it is the custom for
the bride to present her husband
with a wedding ring.
Few indeed are the oldfashiOned
yellow gold wedding rings that have
been chosen by recent brides. The
girl who cherishes the sentiment that
the wedding ring be heavy gold
circlet has become hard to find.
Platinum is losing its popularity
except where it is chosen to match a
handsome platinum engagement ring
according to one local jeweler.
An assortment of wedding rings
viewed today in local jewelers. shops
tells the story of the emancipation
of the wife from the old fashioned
woman of yesteryear who toiled in
her home from dawn to dusk and
even later, to the bustling life of
today who spends much of her time
at business or at clubs. From the
heavy half-inch band of gold whose
bright yellow color proclaimed its
wearer at q considerable distance
Imperial Valley press., 1924-06-30

the wedding ring has evolved into the
tiny sixteenth of an inch white gold
circle that is so popular today.
Blame It on Divorce
Perhaps the tendency of marrying
couples of today to divorce and re-
marriage has been the cause for the
change in the ring for surely several
rings could be made for present day
brides from the ring of their grand
mother s day. Are husbands get
ting economical is anticipating the
purchasing of perchance two or
three wedding rings or is it that
women simply have signified that
they will not longer be burdened as
were their grandmothers?
For the man who wishes to splurge
a bit there are diamond set rings
being sold Some few are set all
around with tiny perfect. stones
while the majority have seven stones
set across the upper half of the
ring Alternating sapphires with
diamonds is proving very popular as
so many engagement rings nowadays
have tiny sapphires in the setting.
Men who agree to the double ring
ceremony invariably choose plain
rather narrow yellow gold band ring.
Many of these are being sold, the
number increasing steadily. Many
old fashioned yellow gold rings have
been dipped in white gold by their
fair owners so as to be up to date.
Many of the wide rings have been
cut down to the fashionable width.
SO it is hard to tell the bride of
today from the bride of yesterday
by looking at their rings.

Fifteen years ago a small one-seat
ed four-cylinder motor car was being
sold under what was then n new
name. but which subsequently be
came one of the worlds largest
selling automobiles. This was the
1909 model Hudson "20,'' first of
its kind.
Recently n display of that model
car at the establishment of Harold
l.. Arnold, Southern California and
Arizona distributor, revealed the
fact that many of the old-timers are
still running, after having seen ser
vice totalling, in some instances,
close to 100000 miles.
There was one each of the models
of Hudsons up to 1916, each of which
is still running, and IN daily use
bv its owner. There was one fact
which P. L. Moore of the Imperial
Valley Finance Corporation, local
dealer of the Hudson, noted in the
display. That is the total absence of
anv radical" desigrr either IN
body style or in motors.
ANY one VI Inc OIu lliouClo VI II Az
sons could be sold today with but
slight modification, at its original
sale price, if it were new, and no
later style available. 1t goes to show
that Hudsons are designed with the
thought in mind: ".What will the
purchaser be able to get out of this
car AT secondhand sale?'
The same motor is being used
today that was first brought out in
1916. It has proved to be correct in
principle, and many of the records
hung up by Hudson stock cars in
1916 and 1917 still stand, Unequal
ed by any competitor.
The new Hudson sedan, pictured
beside the 1909 "speedster" is the
latest model of the closed ear type.
1t seats seven passengers comfort
ably, is furnished in dark Blue, and
stands out among other ears on the
road as the most beautiful of the
season.

CALIPATRIA, June so. The
peak of the tomato season in the
north end of Imperial Valley was

Wilkinson Brothers, who have SO

of the valley, 1t is stated, the ex-
