About ! 3 cakes were donated by

A circle Of chairs was arranged
in the school room, in the center of
which was placed the piano. All
those wishing to walk paid five
cents for the privilege, and, like the
old game of musical chairs. walked
inside the circle, hastily sitting on
the nearest available chair when
the music stopped.
Each chair was numbered. and
at the conclusion of each walk a
number was drawn and the person
sitting on the chair whose number
eorrespondcd with the number
drawn, received the cake. Walking
was continued until the cakes were

DE TAR URGES SILAGE FOR
IMPERIAL VALLEY DAIRYNEN

seed is sometimes confused with Red
Amber sorghum seed This variety
of sorghum produces a much lower
yield than honey sorghum. TIL
dairyman who plans TO plant a sill
age crop should. therefore. BE sure
that he buys honey sorghum seed.
Probably the best way he can do this
is to buy seed from a neighbor who
has had a successful crop of honey
sorghum. In planting honey sorglii1l
the land is usually irrigated, disked
to kill weeds and water grass and
the sorghum seed then planted flat
with corn planter. About five
pounds of seed are planted per acre,
in rows about ~ inches apart. The
usual yield from this crop is from
90 to 80 tons per acre. In few
cases 40 to 80 tons per acre have
been secured Honey sorghum plant
ed in June is usually harvested in
November. 1t does not make good
silage until the seeds are almost ripe.
so that care should be taken not to
harvest too early.
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice Believes that more Imperial
county dairymen should Use silage.
Any dairyman who wishes further
information regarding silos or silaga
crops should notify the farm advisor

DICTATOR EIGHT
IS ANNOUNCED
By STUDEBAKER

The introduction of a new Dicta-
tor Eight at price which marks a
new achievement in motor ear value
is announced today by the Stude-
baker Corporation of America
through Carl Nogt, Imperial Valley
Stude baker Erskine dealer here.
".The new Dictator Eight contin-
ues Studebaker' program of max
ing available the smoothness and
flexibility of eight cylinder perform
ance in the price range Of six cylin-
der cars, - said Nogt. "In present
ing the new Dictator at prices rang
ing from $liSJ to $l435, Studebaker
assumes as outstanding Il position in
the $500 field as it occupies in the
higher price brackets with its Com
mandcr Eight and the world cham
pion President Eight. The popular
ity of the cars has given Studebaker
the distinction of selling more eight
cylinder cars than any other manu-
farturcr in the world.
"rhe introduction OF the new Die
tator Eight, as a companion car to
the world champion President Eight
and the Commander Eight, reflects
Studebaker 5 full recognition of the
trend of the fine car field toward the
eight. In 1928 only 10 per cent Of
the makes of passenger ear power
plants were cights. Today eight
cylinder engines represent Al per
cent of the engine makes, of which
an overwhelming majority are
straight eights.
With its smart appearance, smooth,
spirited performance and exceptional
riding and driving ease, the new Die
tator Eight is Il worthy companion
ear to the world champion President
Eight and the famous Commander
Eight. Parallcling its unusually low
first price, the Dictator Eight OF
fers thrifty oil and fuel consumption
with IN abundance OF power.
Months of testing by research en-
gineers on Studebaker : proving
ground show the new eight to be en-
d0wcd with the same qualities of
speed aad stamina that have enabled
Studebaker to win every official
speed and endurance record for fully
equipped stock cars.

ll5 inches, the new Dictator Eight
models are exceptionally roomy and
comfortable. All are finished with

GLANDS UNABLE
TO RESTORE
YOUTH

PARIS, Jan. Q.N.s).-'Faust
was a myth and even monkey
gland treatment in incapable OF
making part of that myth reality"
DIR. Serge Voronoff, whose graft.
ing operation is generally believed
to restore youth, admitted that
science cannot make gray-haired
persons feel like sweet sixteen"
Want To Appeal
Mental vigor and not the lost
years of romance. he explained is
what most patients hope can be
borrowed from African simians.
mot more than per cent of the
persons who come to me to be OPP
Grated on do so because they de-
sire to appeal to the opposite sex, "
he said.
DIR. Voronoff said he made these
reflections after witnessing Arnold
Benefits play Professor Satoll-
yonf in which DR.. Fausting shakes
off so years and falls in love with
a 19.year-old student.
1.-The gland operation cannot
even guarantee fresh com.
plexion." said DIR. Voronoff. IF a
patients wrinkles are smoothed out
1t IS an accident.
%The operation Is boon to per-
sons who need intellectual stimu-
lus in that it overeomes physical
fatigue, which affects the mental
machinery.
But the effect of the gland may
not be permanent. Some patients
feel the need of a new operation
after three or five years after the
first drafting.
Arnold Bennett in his play ap.
parently intends to convey a moral
which impresses me. There is an
ethical problem in the fact that
DR.. Fausting ruins a girls life. Is
It right to prolong or renew the
life of one of evil character? My
answer is question. Should a
surgeon refuse to operate on an
unquestionably bad man?
Transforming old men into
youths Is an interesting fancy in
literature. but it is not based on
