PAIN IN YOUR
SHOULDER?
Use TysmOl for Relief

Kniie like jabs Of pain in the vi
cinity of the shoulder blade are
generally due to neuritis, brought Oh
by exposure I" draughts or sudden
changes Of weather In some eases
there is stiffness or soreness in the
muscles, making it difficult to
raise tn, arm.
The safest and easiest way to re
lcve such an attack is to apply u
small qrantity Of Tysmol over the
affected area. This soothing, healing
preparation is quickly absorbed
through the pores and carried to the
throbhi2g. aching peripheral nerves.
The pains usually stop at once, and
in a vcIy short time the last trace
Of sortLess should disappear.
Tysncl is absolutely harmless
free from dope. Recommended for
all forms Of nerve pain, whether

CLUB SPEAKERS
ENDORSE CANAL.
POWER PROJECT'

Approximately so members of the
American Conservation Club net at
headquarters last night to hear a
number of speakers, proponents Of
the proposed Imperial Irrigation
District hydro-electric project.
The keynote of the meeting was
sounded by Mark Rose who spoke
at length on the feasibility OF the
hydro-electric plants being owned
by the people and the proposition
that such industry should be kept
out of the hands of the vested or
private interests.
It was expected that opposition
to the proposal of the district would
be voiced but those attending the
meeting were in favor of the plans
as submitted at this and previous
conclaves Of the club.
Chief Engineer NJ. j. Dow3 spoke
after Rose, and gave those IN at
tendance a resume of the five
power plants the irrigation district
proposes to erect.
He was followed by Mr.. Sawson
Of Calexico, who claimed that he
was practically born in power
house and was familiar with the
electric power situation as Ipplic-
able in this instance.
Don Bell Of Brawlcy also spoke.
his theme being the advantages Of
public ownership and the reduced
rates the proposed plants would
give the farmers and citizens Of
the valley. Another speaker was
Charles Childers who gave his
views along similar lines.
Numerous questions were asked
of the speakers, all of which Were
answered to the evident satisfaction

This city was well protected had

OF particular interest to the 40 or
more fire eaters, was the talk given
by Chief Hicks Of Brawley. The
visiting chief told the asscmblag,
how to treat and protect burns to
prevent death and to eliminate per
manent disfiguration. His talk was
instructive and interesting.

of the firemen Of the valley as the
result Of the monthly meeting az
which new methods are brought to
the attention of al the depart
ments. Beams also men:ioued the

HAY GROWERS URGED TO USE
CARE IN SWEATING BALES

Following is report of activities
at the hay grading terminal in Los
Angeles for last week, as received
by Scott B. Foulds, secretarv-maRa
ger of the Imperial County Farm
Bureau:
During the week ending May 3,
50 ears of alfalfa were received at
the Macy team tracks, % of which
were graded as follows:
Two cars L. S. No. Z, extra leafy
extra green alfalfa.
One ear L. 5. No. :, extra leafy
alfalfa.
Six cars L. s. No. :. extra green
alfalfa.
Eigh, ears L. S. No. l, alfalfa.
One car L. S No. > alfalfa.
One car I. S. No. ,, extra green
alfalfa.
Three cars L. S. sample grade al.
falfa CON account of wet or heating
bales.)
The total of three ears of low
quality hay were thc fractional
parts of eight different cars. There
is ne doubt that if ;Iis newly har-
vested and tough hay had been pill
ed in the .eield and allowed to sweat
in ;he bale before loading in the
car, it would all have arrived at the
Los Angeles I-arkcf in good condi-
ton.
The following eAeerlts from the
I. S. Department OF Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin No. 1899, are per.
tinent to this discussions:
Methods for Sweating Hay in Bales
Producers who wish to bale alfal-
IA hay from windows or from cocks
that nave been made only few
days, can profit in practically all
cases by piling the 0aies IN such a
way as to provide for some aeration
and to permit bale sweating prior
to loading and shipping. The
bales should be pilea on edge, with
;hc bottom or chaff side of one
bale lad on the top or fold side of
another bale. This permits heat and
cess of fermentation mach better
than when the bales are piled with
the flat side of one bafe against the
fiat size of another. In building the
pile few narrow, open spaces
should be left between tine vertical
tiers in order to facilitate acration.
When newly harvested alfalfa is
baled in loose bales and piled by
these methods theAnormal and in
evitabIc sweating Will take place
without tie development of such
discoIoIations, caking, or moldincss
as commonly develop when such hay
is loaded into ears Immediately af-
ter it las been baled.
If les Of ha.es a,a made in the
field The use of tarpaulins or straw
coverings is necessary at times to
protect the bales from rain damage.

extensive scale in humid climates

cheap storage sheds is warranted.
Bales piled in the field in arid eli
mates quickly bleach tc a yellow
color on the outside of the pile, but
as the amount of bleached bale sur
face is very small In proportion to
the total bale surface in the pile the
color of the entire lol is rarely af-
fected sufficiently TO affect the
grade by COLOR
Loading Newly Harvested Hay
In loading bales or newly harvest
ed and tough alfalfa hay the bales
should always be SET on edge in the
ears with the bottom or chaff side
of one bale laid against the top or
fold side of another. In building
up the vertical tiers of bales a few
narrow spaces should be left here
aud there in the load to permit
some aeration and the escape of
heat and moisture in case fcrmcuta-
ton starts during transit Many
cars of slightly tough alfalfa 90 ont

the bales were piled Flat side
against flat side and were very
tightly packed in the ear. Careful

CITY PLANNING
EXPERT TO COME
HERE ON FRIDAY

Carol Aronovici. city planning and
zoning expert, who has devoted ~
years to making cities more attrac-
tive and the business property there
i'm more valuable. will return to FL
Centre on Friday for two days
conference with city officials and
the zoning committee. The city
trustees. at last week 5 meeting, ar
ranged for nr ironovlci ; return
for the purpose of making preim-
mary plans for coming the city and
for planning is future bcautifica-
tilu
i'm commenting upon the proposal
for zoning ordinance, Leo HetZcl,
president of the chamber of com
mcrcc. said today: ''While the zon-
ing p'an is not essentially a cham
hcr of commerce project, it having
been discussed for some years here.
am glad 20 say that the chamber
is >olidy behind it. Within the pas;
few months. since development and
building in FL Centre have increased
so rapidly. everyone has simultan-
cously awakened to the need of zon-
ING. and ! think virtually every resi-
dent of this city comprehends its ne
ccSsity and heartily wants it. =
Continuing. Hetzel said: There
haV' been fears expressed in FL Cen
tro. since the move was inaugurated
that zoning Of the city might pre-
vent some property, we'll situated
and adapted to business purposes,
from being thus used The objective
of zon;ng is Just the reverse of this.
Zon;ng seeks to classify such proper
" as business or commercial, and
cause it to be so recognized and
come into its own, and be SO used as
business property. As II is now, we
90 not know where our business dis
trict is. Next week or next year a
group of motor car dealers might de-
eide TO erect a block-long range of
iron garages on Wensley avenue.
This they now have an absolute right
to do. Such an act. though, would
lave two lamentable results: 1t would
deprive some property owner in the
present commercial district from us
ng the same for this profitable pur
pose, and it would destroy residence
values on Wensley avenue.
1T is to be noted that the advo-
Gates do not claim zoning will pre-
vent changes but will simply slow
them up. They recognize that a
city is a growing body and that
changes must take place. So zoning
provide that on the ini-
-iative of property owners or on that
Of the public authorities, the boun-
1aries of q district may be changed
Or that it may be transferred from
residential to commercial or indus
trial What the regulations do is to
prevent one owner from injuring his
neighbor by erecting store CT d !
factory or a public garage in a resi-
lence district years before there Is
any prospect that other stores or
factories or garages would come into
that neighhorhood. In this way the
probable life Of any building erected
today win be greatly heightened,
and the builder will be justified in
investing a larger amount in con
structing finer building.
"The argument for Zoning, then, !
IS the common sense one that it will !
prove of practical benefit TO the
whole community.

Hearts Tn Dixie
Opens Tonight At
Imperial Theatre

One Of the greatest spcctacle'
yet presented since the production
OF talking pictures, is Offered local
theatre goerS tonight when
''IIearts in Dixie, the all-star
colorcd picture of the "Old South,
will be presented.
In producing this picture, Will
liam Fox had in mind faithful"
portraying life in the south before
the Civil War, and those who have
seen it agree that he has succeeded
admirably.
Produced with the Fox Movie
tone, all the action of the f,lm is
presented to the audience. The
Jubilee singers, dancers, musical
numbers. All the sounds involved,
are presented to the audience the
same as though the production were
given CA the stage
The always popular negro spiri-
tuals are given by sPlendiGly oi'
ganizcd aud coached chorus, under
the direction of 4. c. II. Billbrew,
who, incidentally, is woman
musician of considerable promin.
,ncc in southern negro musical
circles.
There is plenty of comedy in the
picture. but care has been taken
throughout that nothing shall be
used to arouse laughter at the eX-
pcns2 Of the colored race.
1t is unusual that a picture Of
this high calibre is presented in
FL Centre before many larger
cities have seen it, Manager Nor
ris stating this is due to the ex-
ccptionally splendid equipment at
Fox Imperial Theatre for repro
ducing sound pictures. The picture
will bc held here for three nights,
giving all an opportunity to see and
hear it.
