This

The revival of checker and chess
games brings to the minds of some
of us the good old days whom the
leading grocery store of the village
was popular gathering place for
the male element seeking entertain
ment outside their own domestic
realm and the most important man
about town took back seat when
the checker champion walked in.
Younger blood seemed to find the
game much too tiresomc and II pass
cd into history along with its long
whskered enthusiasts, and more
strenuous ones involving an element
of risk superseded.
Of late, however, this old time
favorite has come back and its mod.
crn sponsors have popped 1t up con
siderably enough to lure away
some of the bridge hounds, to say
nothing of the mighty wielder of the
mashie who has "golfitis y in its
worst form.
One of these Journeys is to be held
IN Long Beach next month and prom
lStS 10 Dt II ilNciN dIldiL d' iiuiiiSi
Gus prizes are to be handed out and
silver loving cup given in the spe-
cial contest. The program of the
Journeys is given as follows:
State championship tourney, July
1918, for California players only.
Tourist tourney, July 1925, open
to everybody.
Dorio special tourney, July 27-3l,
for original play on non book lines,
open to, everybody. Over 30 prizes
aggregating $500 will be competed
for.
Imperial Valley no doubt will be
well represented and it is the CON
census of El Centre opinion that
some of our eminent citizens who
are fond of the chess board, Doctor
Brooks and Verne Bishop for in
stance--should by all means take
note of the dates of this tournament
and bring back some of the prizes.

SuyUey Made Among
II. s. Women Workers

s Striking differences in the hour
poicies Of three large women en-
blowing ndustries-clothing textiles
and mercantile stores--are shown in
fhe results of study made by the
Vomen = bureau of the United
States department of labor of the
4 acheduled working hours of l62,792
women employed in the various in
dustries of Is states--Alabama, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa,
kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, New
Jersey, Ohio, Rhode island, South
carolina and Virginia.
2 While day of between 8 and 9
hours was found to be most common
in the clothing industry, 10 hour
slay was customary for the largest
group Of textile workers. Only 6
per cent Of the textile workers had
d week of "A hours or less III con
trast with 32.4 per cent of the cloth
ing workers. Again, practically
one half of the women in the vari-
BUS textile industries had II week
@0f 80 hours or more, while less than
3 per cent of the clothing workers
had so long u week. Among the
mercantile employees over one-half
bad an eight hour day, while 29.7
Il per cent were scheduled to work less
Than eight hours Il day.
The prevalence of a Saturday af-
fernoon holiday in factories is clear
~ indicated, the report states. More
than % per cent Of the women in
all the manufacturing industries sur
seyed, and about fourfifths of the
laundry workers had shorter Sat
nrday. While the custom of keep
ing stores open for Saturday eve.
ming shopping has almost disappear
ssed in the cities, it is still found in
fhe, smaller towns, and practically
sthree. .fifths of the women employ
led in the general mercantile and 5
*and-l0-eent stores had longer hours
on Saturday than during the rest of
the week.

Several hundred Imperial Valley
Flks and their families. and mem
bers of the American Legion. had
an excellent time at Hipass yester-
dav as guests of FL Centre Lodge of
E,lks No. 1925 at its annual picnic
and Flag Day exercises,
When the Elks go out for good
time they know how to have it. and
when they decide to let their friends
in ON q good time, they know how
to be royal entertainers.
Although there was q dance at
Hipass Saturday night, the real
program started yesterday morning
at II o'clock with the Flag Day ex-
ercises, conducted by officers of FL
Centre lodge, according to the Elks
ritual. Members of the American
Legion, who were guests of the Elks,
participated in the Flag Day exer-
cises.
FIX Senator T.. \. Wright of San
Diego, was speaker of the day, and
J made an inspiring talk on patriot
ism and the lessons to be learned
/ from the history of the flag. He
| called the attention of those pre-
sent to the solemnity with which
t the American flag is treated by the
, EIks in their ritualistic work, and
urged that a greater respect be
shown the national colors by the
| public in general.
Following the exercises, the call
| for "eats' sounded, and met with
Il ready response from all hands. A
| splendid barbecued dinner had been
prepared by the Elks, Il squad OF
men going up Saturday night in
order to have everything in readi-
ness for Sundays picnic. There was
plenty to eat for all, and the Amer
lean Legion men, trained in the
army to look for seconds,' really
! availed Themselves of the opportun'
! ity to eat all they could.
| Although the doctors state that
one should not exercise after eat
| ing, the Elks discarded the warn.
ing and put on q splendid athletic
! program without any bad results
The outstanding hero of the athletic
card was Judge M. w. Conkling, ex
allied ruler of the lodge. The judge
/ despite his 63 years, answered the
call for the exalted rulers race
| (there was a $40 fine for those who
did not respond) and showed his

the fields and packing sheds, which
follow the course Of the cantaloupes
from the field, through the sorting
and packing process, until they are
loaded in the cars, ready for ship
ment by the trainload.
An excellent article on the val

and summary of the history of the
crop in other years, written by A.
W. Swanson, gives readers of the
Times a splendid opportunity to
yiZualize the stupcndous extent of
the cantaloupe industry.
While the cantaloupe furnishes
the material for the bulk of the
magazine, other valley crops come
in for mention, and also provide
splendid photographs. The water
melon industry is represented by
photographs showing the big melons
iii the field, and later being loaded
on the ears.
The apricot furnishes splendid

We have always made a special
effort to see that our customers
were not disappointed in this
way Now we have installed an
entirely new system which makes
better dry cleaning a certainty.
This system keeps cleansing fluid
clean at all times-even while
the cleaning process is going on.
Thus, clothes are always per-

Customers tell us that they

STAINS that home treatment

Us for dry cleaning. The reason
is that the cleansing fluid we
use is much more effective than
the hottest water and the strong
est soap. Yet it is absolutely
dry and won t injure or shrink
the most delicate fabric.
Such cleansing fluid is costly
and must be used over and over
again. Dry cleaners have for Il
long time tried to keep it in an
efficient condition by removing
the impurities when it became
too dirty for further use. Some
times the publication process
was too long delayed and cloth

JUDGE C0NKLING
IN SANTA ANA
TO TRY CASES
San Diego Water Suits to
BE Heard in Orange
County

With the evident expectation Of
being away from this city for sew
eral weeks, Judge M. w. Conkling
left last night for Santa Ana, at
the conclusion of the Elks picnic,
to preside in the water eases involv
ing the city of San Diego.
Two eases will be heard by Judge
Conkling. The first involves the
city Of San Diego s rights to the
waters of the San Diego river, grant
ed under an old Spanish charter to
the pueblo of San Diego. The city
claims the waters of the river under
this charter, and the claim is being
contested by the La Mesa Irrigation
district and the Cuyamaca Water
company. Judge Conkling heard
the evidence in this case two weeks
ago, and will render his decision
this week.
The second case regards the city s
claim to the FL Captain dam site,
which is contested by the same two
companies. This case will be heard
by Il jury, with Judge Conkling pre-
siding.
1t is expected the case will be
long drawn out, possibly extending
through July into August. A small
army of lawyers has gone to Santa
Ana prepared to fight at every step
for the city and for the contending
companies.
Judge Conkling was appointed by
Governor Richardson to hear the
evidence in the San Diego river
water rights. The suit involving
the right 10 FL Captain dam site
was transferred from the San Di-
ego court to the Orange county
court, with Judge West, of that ,eeun
ty presiding. : Both suits being
analogous, and Judge West s health
unequal to the strain of hearing the
case, he asked that Judge Conkling
preside in both eases, and the local
judge acquiesced.
Judge Conkling stated he may
come home to FL Centre over the
week-ends, though the eases involve
so many angles that considerable
study IS necessary and he may find
it impossible to return here until
the suits have been decided.
SANTA ANA, Calf, June b
Southern California's S greatest legal
battle over water rights started in
Orange county superior court here
today when the city of San Diego IS
famous suit against the Cuyamaca
Water company and Lit Mesa Irriga-
. tion district was called.
A truckload of records were
brought to the court this morning
and scores of witnesses were on
hand to testify, including represen-
tative Of the Mexican government.

 HATCHERY.

During the period from April 1, to Sept 30, the Territorial hatchery operated at Seward released a total of 2,223,499 fingerling salmon, ac- cording to report just made to the Governors office by Supt. Edwin Wentworth in charge of all the Ter ritory hatchery work. The Seward plant was operated on scale which finances available will make it pos- sible to continue turnout the bienni- um, the report said.
 On April l, MT. Wentworth said, the Seward hatchery had in its troughs S79,499 reds and 1,4O7,0 ,0OO chinooks. Of this amount there were released during the season S46,O0O reds and 1,3S7,OOO chinooks after being fed in ponds during the summer
 In addition to this work, 4,456,- 900 red salmon eggs were taken to be matched during the winter and released from rearing ponds next season. The hatchery employees screened the entrance to Grouse and Bear lakes, counting the salmon entering across the weirs. In the former lake, the run was extremely small, only 651 reds and 75S silvers being lifted across Tn Bear Lake 41,000 red salmon were counted in by hatchery employees. All Ii the red salmon eggs came from that body of water In its protection work, the hatchery reported more than 5000 trout were .zdesh oyed during the season. Next seasons work will be carried out on the same scale as that of the past sea- son, Supt. Whitworth said.

Young Lady Makes Trip from Cermay to Seward.
 In Twenty-two Days

I'll always remember Seward for l arrived here on Christmas Day." stated Miss Alma Menzel, who was an incoming passenger Friday on the S.S. Alaska. Miss Menzel came to Seward direct from Sorlitz, Germany, from which port she embarked for New York, December 3. She is an expert stenographer-a comedy look ing girl, nineteen years old, and with the exception of not being able to speak English, enjoyed her fast trip very much across two oceans and the American continent. She departed for Fairbanks yesterday morning where she will make her home with a brother she has never seen. Her brother is butcher employed by the Waechter Butcher Shope, in Fairbanks, and has been in Alaska it is reported, for almost quarter century.
 To a local citizen who speaks Ger man fluently, Miss Menzel conversed at some length. In particular she spoke of the courtesy of the Ameri- cans in comparison to German folk. Apparently" she said, "since the war, so many poor people are in Ger many they have no time to devote to one another, but here in the United States, I was impressed everywhere with the spirit of cordiality and polite ness."
 It was stated for fare alone, from Germany to Seward, Miss MenzePs ticket cost s3S6. This did not include stopping at hotels, extra meals and incidental charges. But two hours was spent in New York City but upon arriving at Seattle it was three days before steamer sailed.
