erpillar' tractor is significant. Here
as in few other sections of the
world, do ranehers depend upon their
tractors to maintain schedule OF
performance without interruption
Caterpillar tractors all over the
valley are constantly called on to
operate day and night for several
days at stretch in order to com
plete the job on schedule.
''The experiment of Oregon State
College of Agriculture with the Cat
erpillar' tractor is to be of prac-
teal value to Caterpillar users all
over the world. Within a short time
we shall have full details of the con
ditions under which the test is being
made, the accurate accounting OF
production. costs, fuel consumption.
and many other important items,

WORLDS MARK
NOW BEING SET
BY CATERPILLAR

Only Imperial Valley tractor ope-
rators can thoroughly appreciate the
significance of the Caterpillar -
Ten tractors latest achievement of
new endurance world S record for
continuous performance, according
to Ben Hulse of Hulsc Anderson
Tractor & Equipment company.
Hulse has just received a tele-
gram from w. j. Gilmore, chief of
the agricultural engineering depart
mont of Oregon State college, in
which it is announced that "Cater-
pillar Ten tractor operated con-
tinuously for II days and nights,
thereby breaking all records.
The message states that the "Cat-
erpillar' Ten operated throughout
the entire run on the college and adj
jacent farms. 1t pulled farm imple-
nients with continuous av an d
night load as near normal as possi-
ble The distance covered was ap-
proximatelv 900 miles up to noon
Tuesday.
"The Caterpillar Ten is still
running Hulse said today, "'and
is to continue its marvellous perform
ance until noon on Friday, May ,. -
Hulse explained that the perform
ance of the Caterpillar" Ten un-
der the observation of experts is an
important contribution to the knowl

CHAMBER HEARS
fine TALK ON
VALLEY CREDIT

Everything points to the eontinu.
alton of good business conditions in
| Imperial Valley, according to c. w.
Remele. manager of the Imperial
Valley Credit association, who was
the speaker at Yesterdays FL Centre
| Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
Remote stated that successful can
taloupe season will keep the valley
| in the "white spot" on the business
maps of the country and the aetiv.
ities when Boulder dam is started
will no doubt make this section per.
manentlv "white'.
The speaker pointed out the re.
sponsibilitv of the chamber of com.
merce toward the credit bureau, as
outlined in a recent number of "The
Credit World" which article brought
out the fact that the chamber owes
much of the contentment of the
people of city, much of the pros.
perity and happiness Of commun-
ity to sound credit bureau. In re-
turn the chambers duty is to CO.
operate with the credit bureau and
Remele pointed out that the Ell Cen.
tro chamber and Imperial Valley
Credit association have always
worked in harmony and that the
credit bureau was started through
the efforts of the chamber of com
merce.
Remcle then told how information
is obtained by the bureau on indi.
viduals and the kind of informa-
tion which is tabulated. This in
formation protects the business men
and retail merchants from poor
credit risks and on the other hand
IS valuable to the reliable individ-
ual who is getting established in a
new community. The Importance
of community credit policy which
will set definite date for payment
of bills as we'll as definite terms
and times of payment in installment
buying was emphasized.
In conclusion Remele stated that
the local credit bureau has $4,000
individuals listed in its files and
pointed out the splendid conditions
of credits and collections in Imper-
ial Valley as result of the credit
associations activities, as against
poor collections in communities with
no credit bureau. A national sur
vey in this connection brings out
the fact that in communities with
no credit bureau the loss through
bad debts is twice as much as the
loss in communities with a credit
bureau.

 I'm not sure Lum We isn't our man." Samuels replied doggedly.

 "A fine fellow, Grainger," Profess sor Johns observed. T shouldn't like to think he had anything to do with the murder of his master. !"
 He hadn't" I retorted with con- viction.
 Ross and the coroner left short ly and the newspaper reporters went with them. The inquest was to be the next afternoon. Parados' body was taken up to the bedroom he had occupied.
