IN THE

TAKE this big package Of soap

King in your right. Which is
the heavier? Well, you see
how it is!
The answeri is that White Kings

you really get more soap from
the smaller package.

HOPI INDIANS

RAIN CEREMONY

TUBA CITY, Ariz., May 2.-tU.H
Silently riding across the desert
sands of the enchanted Hopi Indian
reservation. hundreds of Hopi
braves today were gathering for
the Katehini dance, the first of the
summer prayers.
Gaily colored costumes, fashion
cd after the fantastic Katchini
dolls, are ready for sunrise Satur-
dav when the two-day ceremony
will begin. Throbbing Of tomtoms
and chant of heather songs keep
the dance going through the heath
en- prayer for rain.
At Moencopi, high among the
mystic mesas inhabited by this van
ishing race of southwestern Indians,
the Hopis gather each year.
Fearing a drouth, Chief Tow
gether for the dance. Indian signs
have caused the medicine men to
forecast that desert peoples will
suffer this summer.
Each spring the clans gather,
with the exception of the Antelope
elan. which is vanishing. Their
ranks also have been depleted be-
cause of many taking the Christian
faith.
Medicine men have gone into
council in secret kivas to appease
the gods before the beginning of
the dance and prayers.

HOME OF DELPS

AS an exempiification of what the
well appointed home should have
in the way of furniture and Other
appurtenances to make for better

This six room dwelling which is
considered to be one of the most at

Southern California, was built by
d. Il. Schrode, one of the valley 5
pioneer contractors. 1t is typically
English in design, wi t h pitche
thatched roof and all the details
of this style of architecture have
been worked out with an ever pres
ent eye to the perfect ensemble.
The furniture for this dwelling
has been furnished by the Imperial
Valley Hardware company under the
direction of J. Il. Fahs. This furni
ture is of the Elizabethan period
design. in harmony with the extern
81 architecture of the home. One of
the bedrooms is done in Heppel

all with the idea in view of aiding
in the elevation of homes and home

When the umpire reversed has de-

bakers and the Valley Steam Laun'
dry last night, he let himself in TO!
a lot of trouble, and incidentally

The argument came about, with

at bat. 1t had been a hot game. H.
Florshev singled, then Shawn got
on base, and Hardin swung heavy

his clout. Florshey and Shawn
scored ahead of him.
But the umpire called it foul

Studebaker players, who sent up
such protest that he changed his
decision. When they found that a
sizzling verbal counter attack was

CREDIT MANAGER
TELLS OF BUYING
ON INSTALLMENT'S

Interesting features Of the Install
ment payment plan of purchasing
were brought out today before the
local Lions club in talk by c. w.
Remele of the Imperial Valley cred
it Association.
The origin of this system of pay
ment long ago by furniture dealers
was described. The IDEA was taken
up by automobile sales houses until
at the present time one half the
total of this sort of business is ear
ried on by them and the other half
by household equipment dealers.
In 1920 the volume of installment
payment business was one billion
dollars. BY 1923 it had increased
to four billions and the present fig
ure is somewhere around six billions
annually. This latter figure prob
ably expresses a more or less stable
/ total that the country can support,
according to the speaker.
lnstallment payments have made
possible the present era of mass pro
duction. They are here to stay, ac-
cording to Remele. This will he a
crucial year in installment payment
enterprises, he said, and manufac-
turers will learn whether or not the
current volume of installment pay
ment business is too large or rot.
Repossessions have been slightly
greater this year than last and these
failures the speaker attributes eth
er to the careless and irresnonsiblc
