As an indication OF better bust
ness conditions existing at present
not only in Ell Centre but through

which affect merely one or two

ltF but the city as whole, II. B.
DeLacv, local manager of the Mont

the wonderful success achieved here
and within the district during the
summer sale which came to

Building Totals
Holding Up Well

Building activities in Ell Centro
which for Il time earlier in the
month seemed to be on the down
grade, took decided spurt in re-
cent days and now has reached Il
figure much in advance of the total
for May, 1929. The total for the
current month, to date, is now $751;
$50, with two days still remaining
in which to raise it. This is about
$4,000 in excess of the figure for
May of last year.
Officials of the city engineering
department, in charge of city build
ing operations, point out that May
is usually a somewhat slack month
in regard to building programs, and
point with satisfaction to the fig
urc for this month especially as
it effects the expected total of a
half million dollars for the whole
year.

FOR THE
DIRTY WORK

said the clever housewife, as she
opened the package of White
King Granulsted Soap. And
presto!-before she knew it, the
washing was finished.
White King is the quickest
and safest soap made--not only
for family washing, but for lin
gerie, shampooing, dishes, and
every household need. 1t cleanses
thoroughly but gently. If water
won't hurt it, White King won't.
It's economical too. Because
it's condensed. little goes long
way. A tcaspoonful in the basin
of water, a cupful in the tub
and instantly you have rich,
creamy lathcr that's simply death
on dirt. Your grocer has IT.

Yale Choice Over Harvard in
Traditional Cridiron Battle

1875, warns supporters of the Bull
dog against over-optimisn1.
These old rivals are evenly
matched in the respect that neither
has succeeded in developing an
effective offensive this season.
Harvard has been unable to gain
through it's opponents lines, and
Yale has been playing, with
characteristic stubborness, rather
old-fashioned football when in pos
session of the ball.
AS a result, both teams have been
preparing aerial attacks for this
forty-ninth meeting, and the game
may prove more open than any
Yale-Harvard contest in recent
years. Probably there will be a
great deal of kicking and waiting
for the breaks, as we'll.
A belief that Harvard, with Barry
Wood passing, may prove more sue
cesSful through the air than Yale
has led to rising hopes on the part
of Crimson Sympathisers.
Able BooGh, who will be by far
the best back on the field, will be
keyed up to his greatest effort thus
far, since the Crimson line smeared
him last year and Harvard won.
Albie is due. It would not be sur
prising if he ran wild against Har-
ward and scored a couple of touch
downs to make up for last falls dis
appointments. The Yale line will
fight HarYard's to standstill, and
it will be merely question of Civ
ing the diminutive star good start.
