WINTER BUYING
OF AUTOMOBILES
HAS ADVANTAGES

The old fashioned man who re-.
moved the battery and put the fam.
lily touring car on trestles at the
first frost now has a son who buys
his new car in the winter and drives
il every day because it is not only
practical but economical
Breaking in a new ear during cold
weather offers several advantages.
according to A. H. Burr, local Chrys-
Ter distributor, and motorists who
used to think that winter was a time
to get along with their old car are
realizing that it is false economy.
buyers taking delivery at this
time of year have their new car
when it is most important to have q
dependable engine that starts cas-
lily, perfect brakes, new tires and a
new battery" said Burr. 1.-THE saw
ing Of time and repair expense plus
the satisfaction Of driving car
that will operate faithfully in the
severest weather are reducing the
practice of deferring new ear de.
liveries until spring.
an breaking in a new ear during
the winter months, there is no at
tempt to speed, and the engine is
not subjected to fast driving or ex-
IRENE heat until it is ready TO with
stand such strain. The design Of the
latest motor creations insures econ
omical and dependable year around
performance, while the high quality
Of lacquer finish and chromium plat
ing easily resists extreme winter
weather.
To-day, the closed car with it's
powerful engine, positive four heel
brakes, long flexible springs and
balloon tires provide comfort and
safety never dreamed Of a few wears
ago. Chrysler cars are subjected to
many cold weather tests in the en-
cheering Laboratories and on the
road, so that their performance un-
der all operating conditions is in
sured."

The Chicago Livestock Exchange
will soon undertake plan for the
marketing of live hogs on future
basis, the same as is done today in
many Of the products of the soil,
dairy, poultry and livestock. This
however, seems to mark the first
activity of selling live animals on
what might be termed a board Of
trade operation for future delivery.
II is stated that the proper use of
failure trading will help to eliminate
the risk Of hog ownership, enabling
the producer to plan for future pro-
duction, taking advantage of price
changes not now available. This
plan will not interfere with h e
everyday marketing, except that 1t
Will have tendency to stabilize the
supply, and add foundation to the
business 50 that the grower may be
assured Of a certain price on GER

When we come TO review the situa'
tion, We find that our hog produc'
ton continues year in and year out

case of many other commodities:

LITTLE DAMAGE
DONE IN VALLEY
BY transform

Opinions gained from canvass
of realtors and others who are
conversant with agri-
cultural conditions in the valley in
dictate that the rain fall of vester-
day will prove to be beneficial to
crops unless warm weather sets ID.
At the offices Of Sawdey and
Hunt, lettuce growers and shippers,
it was learned that on the whole
this rain did more good than harm.
Some growers were helped by 1t
while others who had not started
cutting early enough found them
selves somewhat hampered by the
fact that their men could not get
into the fields. Most of the ranches,
however, were prepared and had
enough cut to continue shipments
in spite of the difficulties attend
ing the STIFFNESS of the soil. Where
fields were dry, everything indica-
ted there would be no let up in the
cutting.
The consensus Of opinion seemed
to be that cessation of cutting
operations over a day or two would
be for the better as it would i'm
prove the market and give dealers
an opportunity to rid themselves OF
surplus stock which had gathered
during the fe"erish activity of the
past week. 1t was also pointed out
that prices for lettuce would bene-
fit by this breathing spell, if only
for day or two.
That this rain Is the best thing i'll
the world for the young alfalfa, was
the opinion of Ray Edgar, who
stated that it would benefit from
these showers better than by irri-
cation. On tine other hand, lie stat
ed, dairying conditions are bad
during these rains if the dairymen
have not enough hay on hand to
care for the cattle. All stock must
be removed from the open fields
during such rains and cared for in
doors, but conditions grow worse
where no surplus stock of hay is &c
be had.

AT MEETING OF

partment of Agriculture and Boyd
Comstock, director of the Junior
Olympic games, were the principal
speakers ut the meeting of the I'm
perial Valley Schoolmasters' club

leties in the elementary grades and
the relation of these lower grades to

view of athletics. Too much atten-
tion, he stated. is devoted to the
high school and college groups, and
the elementary groups, from which
these athletes come and where their
training is obtained, are neglected
instead of being regarded as con
tinuous source of material.
Various members OF the club
spoke on the advisability of secur-
ing full time health service for
the county with adequate facilities
to take care Of all needs. Senti-
ment was in favor of such a service
and a committee appointed to take
the matter up with their Organiza-
tons, w. w. Jones of Westmorland
