lower-priced cars traded in on Packards proves it. Owners know that their Packards are built for long life, and that their characteristic beauty is not depreciated by frequent and needless changes in design. It is literally true, therefore, that if you are driving a car of comparable size to a Packard Standard Eight you are un~ doubtedly paying Packard ownership costs.
 Isn't it logical, then, to ask Why not have the Packard!" he price Of the most popular model of the Packard Standard Eight -the 5~passenger Sedan is but $2485 at the factory. Ten other body styles are avail able on the 12715 and l3415~ inch wheelbases at from $2425 to S2865.

The first cost of an automobile does not determine ownership costs.
 A car which sells for half as much as a Packard Standard Eight does not get half rates on gasoline, oil and tires. Nor on license, insurance, garaging and repairs.
 If the car is similar in size to the Packard it costs at least as much to operate and maintain it. No advantage here, for lower>priced car.
 There is no advantage for the half~price car on first cost, either provided the Packard is kept twice as long. For here is where depreciation must be hguredin. Simple arithmetic broves that detrecidtion on c Packard is no greater than on q haH- price car when the Packard's useful life is tUice that of the lesser vehicle..
 And Packard cars are kept far longer. Comparison with

As he was still defiant he was led to where he might see Lala- mant, his companion clothed in bark set on fire As he still did not finch, strips were cut from his limbs his head was scaped his heart opened and his blood was drunk by those who crowded about thinking that they would thus imbibe some thing of his courage Never" said Parkman had the mailed barons of Brebeuf's line confronted A fate so apalling with so prodgious a constancy"

ALASKA BEARS AGAIN.

The New York Geological Society. which 1ought so hard for Alaska bears in the not long ago, when Dr. w T. Hornaday was a very busy individual has modified it's position At it's recent annual meeting the Society only asked that Congress set aside preserves particularly in Alaska, where the bears might roam without fear of molestation Dr Hornaday did not discriminate as to locality. He, apparently would have had the bears feel com fortable and at ease no matter where their locale The New York Times commenting upon the subject recently said:
 That the bear population of the United States and Alaska has been rapidly dwindl- ing is a matter of common knowledge. For the most part bears have been classed either as "varmints" and to be shot on sight, or as fair game within a suitable season
 The New York Geological Society at it's annual meeting last Tuesday passed resolu- tons calling on Congress to set aside pre- ssrves- notably in Alaska-where the last of the bears may be spared exterminaton. The Alaskan bears and the grizzlies have fared worst being those with the finest hides and
 in the case of the latter-the most dan gerous
 To be sure, the damage done by griz- zlies has often been exaggerated. But in the early days of the Westward movement they were alike to man and beast Lewis and Clark, in their journals tell of a grizzly that out into the river to attack them in their canoe. They have often attempted to n]ure hunters. Ere uuently they have killed cattle and horses.
 The time is passed when the policy of general slaughter was justifiable. Protec- ton is wise and humane, and also of value to the world of science.
 There parts of Alaska where the time has not passed when the policy of general slaughter is justifabe. Those parts of Alaska that are being settled should be made safe for school-ma'ms and school children They should also be made safe for farmers who raise food for the teachers and pupils and safe for their livestock In those sec tions the brown and grizzly bears ought to be ex- terminated.

ANOTHER CAT SPEAKS By Mary Graham Bonner

The Little Black Clock had such magic that he could turn the time back, and then on the next eve ming take the children to the place where they had been the evening before so that it seemed as though they had not lost a minute of time.
 They went back this evening to listen to the talks at the meeting being held by the cats.
 The cats had decided they would be lazy and let others do all they could for them.
 And now another cat at the meet ing got up and spoke We have all agreed to be lazy and we have all agreed to let others do all they can for us. It is a most wise and excellent plan.
 Tt will keep people from expect ing too much from us. The more creatures do the more is expected of them, and once they've started being very useful and helpful they can never change and go back to laziness."
 All the cats agreed and they smoothed out their whiskers and blinked their eyes and then they all took maps, showing how great ly they approved of what had hap pened at the meeting.
 So Peggy and John and the Lit tie Black Clock left the cats asleep after the meeting, and as the chil- dren were on their way home the Little Black Clock said:
 That is the reason the cats have always been as they have-because of this first meeting years and years ago. I turned the time way back so you could be there.
 But you see the horses never had any such meeting and so they were expected to be useful and helpful. Nor did the dogs ever have such meeting and so they haven't cared how much devotion they have given to their owners. But the cats had, and you see how cats arel"
 And Peggy thought of Topsy, their cat, who always had the best chair in the kitchenl

CHAMBER GETS
MANY REQUESTS
FOR LITERATURE

Indicative of the increased inter
est in Imperial Valley since the
work started ON the Boulder Dam
are the large number of requests
for literature on FL Centre and Inn
perial Valley received daily at the

The staff Of the chamber reports
that not only are more inquiries be-
ing received daily but that the let
tcrs are received from all parts of
the United States. Demonstrating
the area covered by the daily cham
ber mail is the following list of
cities to which literature was sent
Yesterday; New York City, Senath,

In addition to literature requests
r. b. Whitelaw, president of the To-
cal chamber, reports that many let
tcrs are received daily asking for
positions and concerning working
conditions. These letters, Whitelaw
reports, are answered but tha
writer's are not advised to come TO

BOXING DUE FOR CLEANSING

Governor 1oung's plans for a state
WIDE investigation of the boxing game,
is a move that the best supporters Of the
sport will approve
There has been terrible abuse of the
rules and regulations covering boxing IN
many parts of the state, and the need for
eliminating unsatisfactory and undesir-
able conditions, is imperative.
Instead of raising boxing to a higher
plane by placing it under the supervision
Of the state, it has been permitted to
lapse into its old habits, with the men
who brought it into disfavor in the old
days again practically in control of it.
The boxing commission has deterior-
ated. Not since the original commission
was appointed has it functioned as the
law intended it should function. The COM
missioners, instead of administering the
affairs of the game have permitted it to
be run by subordinates, who in many
cases were in league with the politicians,
the gamblers and the .'racketeers' who
seek to make easy livings off the boys
who do the actual fighting.
In justice to these latter it must be said
they are fine lot Of fellows. Several
years of close contact with them compels
us to admit that the vast majority Of
them are clean living. honest and sports
uaultke DOIS, possibly somewhat shy on
culture, but real men nevertheless, and
terribly exploited by the parasites who
are attached to them.
The governor has appointed Allen E.
Bixby to conduct the investigation. He
has chosen fully competent man, Mr..
Bixby being a member of the California
bar, former state commander Of the
American Legion, which sponsored the
commission idea for boxing, and a man
who will not be swayed or intimidated by
those who might not like the idea of an
investigation.
While we are on the subject. we don't
mind stating frankly that conditions ex-
listing in other parts of the state are not
to be found in connection with boxing as
it is conducted in Ell Centro. If other
parts of the state had men of the same
calibre as the directors of the local box
ing club, the governor would have no
need for making an investigation.
There is no fixing here, none of the
shady deals that have caused scandal in
other sections. Mistakes have been made,
poor matches have been made, but they
were honest mistakes and the poor match
es which have been few and far between,
have been of nature that might happen
in the best conducted clubs in the coun-

provide new entry into Imperial VAL
ley
The route of the proposed road starts
at FL Segundo and follows the most di-
rect route into the valley, eliminating the
larger part of areas where traffic is
heavy. 1t enters Imperial Valley via the
old Butterfield stage route, coming down
from Warmers Hot Springs, through
Mason Valley. Vallecitos and Carrizo,
Joining with the San Diego highway
near Coyote Wells.
This route is one of the most pictures
eque to be found in any part of the state.
1t is matter of regret that it is practic-
residents, even those who have lived here
for many years.
Not only is it desirable route from a
scenic standpoint, it also has much his
torical interest, it is short direct, and
would provide cool travelling during the
heated portion of the year.
Even in its present neglected state, the
road is not too difficult for travel
throughout the greater portion Of its
length. It can be made into very serv-
iceable highway at comparatively small
cost.
With the approach Of cooler weather,
more valley residents should take trip
over the road. Full information regard
ing routes can be obtained at the chamber
of commerce or the automobile club.
Such trip provides an admirable means
for a Sunday outing and it is almost a
certainty that any who take it will be-
come firm supporters of the new road
project.

THE PAGEANT CALLS

Rehearsals for Imperial Valleys pa
geant, The Desert Calls" will be started
next week.
The county wide committee in charge
of the pageant has explained its ideas in
every section of the valley, and has been
pledged support from every community.
Start of reiearsals means that the
time for carrying out these pledges has
arrived. Those who can aid in any way,
or who think they can aid, should offer
their services promptly.
The pageant is big project. 1t will
do much to help Imperial Valley, by
arousing interest Of other communities,
by stimulating the cultural side of life
here and by helping to preserve the story
of the valley.
The committee has done its prelimin-
airy work in splendid fashion. 1t has
gone ahead in the face of seemingly i'm
possible difficulties and hammered out
concrete plan of action. With the sup
port of the people it is bound to succeed.
Every newspaper in the valley is back
Of the pageant idea 100 per cent. They
are all willing and anxious to help the
committee make the pageant a success
and they solicit the same degree of sup
port from their readers that the work of
the committee thus far may not have
been in vain.

ROTARY MEETING
HEARS TALK ON
ROAD PROJECT

Leo Hctzcl, one of the prime
movers i'll the project for a new
road into Imperial Valley via the
old Butterfield stage road, gave an
interesting talk on the highway
plans at yesterdays S meeting of the
FL Centre Rotary club.
The speaker traced transporta-
tion through Imperial Valley from
the earliest days, explaining the
so-called "stagc war between the
Butterficld and Burch interests,
and giving an outline of the courses
followed by various early explorers
in their travels across the valley.
He declared the new road is some
thing that should interest every res
ident of the valley, pointing out
that improved roads are always an
provement that any community
can stand.
His remarks on the historical as.
poets of the old Buttcrfield road
were particularly interesting and
were closely followed by the Rotar-
ians.
President John NJ. kepley an.
nounccd that the annual dinner to
greet FL Centre school teachers,
will be given by the club next
Thursday night.
