HAY GROWERS TO

BUYERS STATUS

Imperial Valley hay growers will
shortly find their problem of get
ting prompt and satisfactory pay
ment for hay sold greatly simpli-
fled, according to the Imperial Val
lev Farm Bureau which is at pres
cnt compiling list Of credit rat
ings.
Within the near future Scott Is.
FOulds, secretary manager of the
bureau, expects to be able to answer
calls from hay growers with infor-
nation on the prospective buyer $
financial status and past record on
payment.
Blanks, addressed to the hay pro
ducers of the valley, have been sent
ont by the Imperial Valley Hay Int
provement Association, of which
John Gresham is president, and
Scott h. Foulds, secretary. These
blanks briefly describe the move
mcnt and ask that those receiving
them fill out with the names of the
huvers with whom they have had
dealings, stating whether or not
they paid the price agreed upon, II
they settled promptly and including
any general remarks of interest.
Already the blanks are being re
ccivcd back at the Farm Bureau of.
flee. and the information PLACED
thereon is being carefully tabulated
for future reference.
Iav growers who have not re
turned their blanks should do so at
the earliest possible date, as 1T Is
desired to have as large n file OF
those statements as possible. Grow
ers should sign their blanks 50 that
the association may communicate
with them in ease additional mtor
nation is desired.

that available through the growers
has been promised by local bankers
who have agreed TO obtain finan
cial ratings of any concerns de

Care of Tires
Means Saving

Many motorists now realize that
Just putting Il tire ON a ear and not
paving any further attention To if
il much the same as operating an
auto without Il thought for grease
or oil until serious trouble develops
according to Bob llatton of |. :.
Grant Fircstonc dealers in FL Cen
the.
The way to get the most mileage
and best service from tires is to
have them looked over regularly
and frequently.
Like the old adage about a stitch
in time, Il little care will often pro-
vent serious loss of tire mileage.
The trcadS should be inspected
for cuts and bruises, and any small
repairs needed should be made
promptly.
1t is important to have the wheels
aligned and the proper air pressure
maintained, if the motorist is to
set all the service he is entitled to
from his tires.
Always use valve caps. Screw
each one down tightly by hand,
This will prevent air leakage and
underinflatiOn difficulties.

Will Open Store
Here in August

Montgomery Ward and Company
during the latter part of August.
This became known today when the
company's lease with Lazzard Lipp-
man was recorded. Lippman will
erect Il two-story stucco structure
for the use of the mail order house $
local store.
FL Centro's newest business house
will employ between 10 and 15 local
salespeople. the manager being the
only out-oftown person located in
the FL Centre store.
Richard Kcssler, representing the
home office, said when he was in
FL Centre recently looking over the
territory, that this town was select
ed as location for one of the
Montgomery Ward and Company
stores because of the favorable
situation and because of its con
vcnience to the many customers in
this area. Each one of the Mont
gomery Ward chain stores considers
itself part of its community as
it employs local persons and studies
local needs. Over half Of the mer-
chandise is purchased wholly or in
part west of the Rockies.
Kessler also said, Although we
cannot carry in stock all of the
thirty-three thousand items listed il
our catalogue, we shall show and
sell over the counter many complete
lines of merchandise particularly
suitable to the needs of the people
of FL Centre and the valley.
Among these items will be tires and
auto accessories, house and barn
paint, washing machines, and num-
crous other articles.

agcr of the local store will be an
authorized representative Of the
company and empowered TO back NJ

Against
Use Of Defective
Clincher Ri S

Clincher rims, with which more
than 80 per cent of all passenger
ears are equipped, are rapidly reach
ing the stage where their age and
condition is causing the premature
destruction of tires by rim cut, ac-
cording to II. II. Hicks, local mana
ger of the Vaughan Auto Supply
Company. Rusty rims and rims
bent out of shape from long use are
the greatest enemies to tires, tire
men claim.
Since the advent of the balloon
tire and it's adoption as regular
equipment on cars that were former
ly equipped with clincher rims, the
use of clincher rims has been con
fined to former models. Statistics
show that these rims are seldom re-
placed; motorists desiring to re-
place hims and wheels that are no
longer serviceablc with balloon
tires. This has resulted in clinchcr
rims being used to such q length Of
time that they have become rusty
and bent, with rim cut on tires re-
sulting to an exceptionable extent.
Miller tire men advise motorists
who are still running on clinchcr
rims to have all bent places in the
rims Strengthened and to clean the
rust away thoroughly. If this is
done and the rims painted with a
coating adapted to this service there
will be a noticeable increase in the
mileage of clincher tires, tire autho-
rites claim.
The percentage of .clincher-rim
equipped ears is gradually decreas-
ing it is authoritativelv stated. Dur
ing the past few months the per
centage of passenger ears running
on clincher rims has been reduced
almost ten per cent, tire men say
II was pointed out that the general
trend is more and more toward
balloon tires.

gather in Manhattan Opera House,
Eighth Ave. and Saith St., tomorrow
night at 8 o'clock to welcome David
Bergelson, famous Yiddish novelist
and contributor to the Freihe,t, Yid-
dish Communist daily, who has just
arrived in this country.
Bergelson, who is considered one
of the greatest living masters of
Yiddish prose, has been close to the
Jewish masses from the beginning
of his literary career more than 20
years ago. On visiting the Soviet
Union several years ago he be-
came an ardent supporter of the
workers and peasants government
and his recent short stories in the
Freiheit have described in master
full manner the new life in the U.
S. S. R.
Among those who will greet Ber-
gelson tomorrow night will be Mel
Itch Epstein, editor of the Freihejt;
M. J. Olgin, editor of the Hammer,
Yiddish Communist monthly; H.
I,eivick, A. RABBI and other con-
tributors to the Yiddish Communist
press. An elaborate entertainment
program has also been arranged.

Davis Claims Mining,
Textile Strikes Over
Low Pay Unavoidable

WASHINGTON, Dec. GA gen.
eral tightening of immigration re-
strictions, especially on Mexican
workers, who are disliked by Amer
lean employers because they are
suspected of bringing over the Rio
Grande ideas of freedom of organ
ization and the right to strike,
which are unwelcome to southwest
ern metal and coal miners, was the
chief feature of Secretary of Labor
Davis annual report, made public
last night.
Davis also favored a proposal
that heads of families be not al
lowed to enter the United States
until the rest of the family could
come under the quota limit.
He complimented employers on
preserving peace in the industry,
except "for the largely unavoidable
misfortunes," as Davis expressed it,
in mining and textiles. He did not
say that strikes of $4,000 men in
these industries were caused by
wage slashes.

Mine Owners of Spain
Aided to Attack Poor

MODRID, Dec. 6.-The dictator
ship of Primo de, Rivera is taking
steps to increase the cost of coal
and charcoal (tbe latter widely
used by the poor to heat their
homes). The government is nego-
tiating an agreement with England
endeavoring to reduce British coal
imports to the point where only the
excess of demand over production
by Spanish mines will be imported.
The Austrian miners suffer the
most terrible exploitation, and their
strike last year was brutally crushed
by the fascist government.
The coal mine owners of Austria,
the coal producing province, are
meeting and demanding that the
government keep the imports down
as low as possible in the negotia-
ticns and in addition add to the
tariff import tax on coal.
