sion that the charter legalized the
appropriation and declared il re-
NAMED for the city to decide only
whether the trip Justifies the ex-
penditure.

corps many times had acted as a
municipal band. and cited the fact
that on the past July 4. the organ

Cole and Hipp voted no"
After the meeting was adjourned
Cole explained that he favored the
appropriation for uniforms because
he felt it was for public benefit and

ly that I am opposed to the trip TO
Louisville"
White then thanked the commits
sion for its action, especially" he
said, because the commissioners
individually and collectively came
out IN the open as to how you felt
on the matter"

RETURNS FROM
NORTH OF STATE

Nern De Tar. farm advisor. ac
eompanied by Joe Enz, G. c. Rich
ards and \. NJ. Hindie. represented
Imperial county on the recent
travelling conference of the agricul-
tural extension service. They left
the valley April 90, returning last
night.
The object of the conference was
to show the delegates some of the
most successful things beiog done
10 improve agriculture and rural
home life in this state.
Leaving Berkeley May 1. A. cars
strong, the conference travelled SEQ
miles, visiting nine farm bureau
counties: Santa Cruz. Monterey. San
Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara. Ven
tura, Los Angeles. san Bernardino,
Riverside and Orange counties.
Delegates from 70 counties were
present. from Del Norte in the north
to Imperial, in the south. The usual
representation consisted of farm
advisor. or assistant farm advisor.
and three delegates. but SO great
was the interest displayed by Ger
tain sections that they sent more.
In frief article it is impossible
to state all the fascinating things
reported, but according to Nern De
Tar. the thing THAI Impressed him
the most was the work done by the
All clubs in the stare.
Imperial county does some of this
work but it is more highly develop
cd in other counties. In one cen
ter the clubs put on a forestry de-
monstration; in another live steek
demonstration. The value of these
clubs to the future agricultural de
velopment of the state Is enormous,
De Tar believes.
