That everybody had a genuinely
good time Wednesday night at the
"Hi-Jinks" dinner dance given by the
Chamber of Commerce at Hotel
Monte Vista was patent enough.
Informality reigned and fun was
everywhere.
Early plans were for about 125
people, but there were 157 there,
which, to leave room for dancing in
the main dining room required that
part, of the lobby adjoining be
screened off for several tables.
During the evening making no
attempt to give the order Of appear

and sang a couple solos himself. Mrs,
Levi Montgomery accompanied on
the piano; Tom Bellwood, Alex John

bers, Miss Selma Aas accompanying
Miss Aas sang "Red, Red Robin,
while the Misses Vivette Wilson, Myr-
ma Lowell and Ethel Montgomery, ir

r. d. Jessuppe did two costume
dances, the Valentine dance and q
Holland folk dance; DR.. e. S. Flett
with Joe Schmidt's assistance, show
, ed the Days of '49" motion pictures
taken here last summer by DR.. H. S

All the numbers were highly ap
preciated and all were very good.
Dancing continued until a half
hour after midnight, the fun augu
mented by the many novelty favors
which included horns, paper balls
hats, caps and many novelties.

indicating that it would be shown that
Mr.. Stewart acted, in publication Of
constitutional amendments, on the
advice of the attorney generals Of

INSECTS TAKE HUGE
TOLL FROM FARMS

It will, no doubt, surprise many
people to learn that insects take a
greater toll in money from American
farmers than the total the income tax
collectors take from corporations and
individuals combined.
Pertinent facts in connection with
that statement are revealed by the
report of the collection Of 1874, 1O4,-
141 of income tax in 1926, while ref
erence to a statement by DR.. L. o.
Howard Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture supplied the in
formation it is estimated that insect
pests cause losses in excess of two
billions of dollars through the de-
struction Of products of the soil.
To the "waste tax" exacted by fly
ing, creeping, b%urrowing and other
collectors" could be added many mil.
lions of dollars more Of tribute taker
by plant diseases. Likely, the tOta'
equals that Of the money value o.
damage done by insects.
Federal income taxes have been re
duced from time to time and furthe
reduction is, perhaps, to be lOOkeI
forward to within a few years. o.
the other hand, greater farm losse
from insect depredations are in pros
pect, owing to the fact that thes
raiders are gaining on the entomolC
gists and other defenders Of the cour
tryside. Too, reinforcements arriV
at intervals. Cases in point, are tn
rather recent coming of the Europea

However, there is real cause f

Desiring to cooperate and fulfil

with the part time employment Of
minors, the first Imperial county en-
ployer to consult Supervisor Harry
a. Skinner on the matter following
the article on that subject in Satur-
day s Press, was on hand bright and
carly when Skinner arrived at his
office in the court house this morn
ing.
The employer desired information
regarding the employment of school
boys during the Christmas vacation
''That brings up another phase Of
TIE matter,' Skinner explained.
"Any employer wishing to avail
himself of the services of minors
during vacation time, has only TO
obtain permit from the principal of
the school which the children at
tend. The same rule applies for Sat
urday employment.
Skinner also pointed out for the
benefit Of housewives having school
girls working in their homes, that
the law does not apply to domestic
service, for which no permits are
necessary.
