The clumsfness of the smoking ap.

ton unpopular.
We can manage to control the

different.

Few of US are sad enough or sick
enough to seek relief from pipe or

for a brief, mad moment.
Not the temptation to kill or stick.

merely incidental to this menace.
But the longing to ''get little more

The longing to be as bright and

Of us in these colorful days.
How we envy the lucky ones who
"get ahead"-how we wish we had
their speed and courage and

And there's the hellish danger Of
heroin.

That's why the weaklings take It.
Why the school children sniff

INTERESTING FIGURES GIVEN
ON COW TESTING ASSOCIATION

The present years work of the
Cow Testing Association vii end
on Nov. 80. During October it will
therefore be necessary that those
dairymen who wish to have their
herds tested during the coming year
snail sign a. new contract. Each
dairyman now testing will be ask
ed to sign such contract and 9th
cr Imperial county dairymen will
also be given an opportunity to join
tEis association. The question each
dairyman must decide is: Will it
pay to have my dairy herd tested
in this Cow Testing Association
during the coming year9 Perhaps
the following statement will help
him to reach q decision.
During August AZ dairy herds
were tested in the Imperial County
Cow Testing Association Thirty
Of these herds have been tested for
more than one year, 10 of them
have been tested for more than four
years, and six have been members
of this association since it started

CaleXicO Bank
Seeks Property

An action was filed at the county
clerk s office Yesterday in which
the First National Bank of Calexico
seeks the recovery of some property
in the possession Of B. T. Gillespie.
The list of the property claimed by
the plaintiff includes 56 heads of
stock, chickens, plows, tractors and
other farm implements.
The complaint charges that the
defendant has been in possession of
the property since the plaintiff
gained title to it and that said de-
fcndant has ever refused to turn it
to the plaintiff. The plaintiff asks
that the court rendar judgment or
dering the property turned over to
the owner or that if it can not be
turned over that $4,000, the value
of the property, be paid the plain

have been members of this associa-

the block between Fifth and Sixth
streets. But an even more pleasant
surprise awaits the residents of the
city when they enter any of the re-
modelled stores for their first shop
ping.
A visit to the B. Solomon COM
pany will quickly convince any I'm
perial Valley woman that this pro.
gressive firm is doing something be-
side putting up a good 'front.'
Increased stock and careful buying
have placed a splendid and varied
array of merchandise and ready-to-
wear garments at the disposal of
those entering the store.
New fall silks, which are found
at the west entrance of the store,
are particularly intriguing. Never
has lovelier fabric been made
than the new Madison reversible
Molly O'Crepes. They come in
beautiful shades, two contrasting
tones being used.
Then, for the new fall or winter
frOck for afternoon or informal
evening, there are new pussywillow
taffetas in the popular National
Park series and in other gorgeous
designs and striking color combin-
ations. Lustrous silk crepes-they
are washable too, and therefore par.
ticularly practical for Imperial Val
ley--are available in pleasing
shades.

which are being introduced from a
most satisfactory solution for the
evening frock problem. Also these
beautiful materials are unusually
well adapted for blouses, to be
worn over velvet skirts, making a
smart outfit and one particularly
approved by the present trend Of
fashion.
Attactive Department
In addition to offering this wide
variety of materials from which to
chose, the ready-to-wear depart
ment of Salomons is more attractive
than ever before. Also there is a
complete and charming line for
baby.
For the woman who returns to
her home in the fall with the desire
to add to its comfort for the winter
months, there are many new and
strikingly handsome draperies. Blan-
kets, sheets and towels are also well
represented in the new lines. In
fact it should be impossible to enum-
crate, to say nothing of describing,
the many attractive things contain
ed in this stores fall stock.
But in spite of the charm of the
new merchandise, one IS attention is
not distracted from the improved
appearance of the interior of the
store, the greater convenience Of the
new arrangements of show cases,
and the new fittings which make
possible the display of stock For the

This would bring greater consumer demand for gar den goods and other spring lines: deplete somewhat retail stocks and give the wholesale market the bene- fit of replacement trade usually fairly brisk at this time. Hardware Age will say tomorrow in It's week. fly hardware market summary. Jobbers are handling a fair number of orders but find each individual shipment running lighter than former averages.
 Shelf and heavy hardware are having consistent call. Prices are generally nrm and no shortages are reported. Collections average fair.
 Wholesale business to date for the year 1927 is-well ahead of 1926 record with the majority. but May appears hardly breaking even with April.
