The statement that once d per-
son has lived in Imperial Valley he
cannot remain awav vas again
proven when A. K. Campbell today
visited the FL Centro chamber with
the announcement that he IS here
10 start hog raising on a large scale.
Campbell, who left Imperial Valley
lC wears ago, was one of the larg-
est hog raisers in this section, with
ranch located one-half mile east
OF El Centro, on the Holtville road.
Al one time he was feeding 1900
hogs on his farm and was said TO
have the only scientific feeding
plant in this community at that
time. Campbell states that he
plans again TO start feeding sclen-
tifically and his plans include
steam vats and other modern
equipment for preparation OF mash
and hog feed.
Campbell was anxious to get in
touch with some Of the men VINO
had been interested in hog raising
when that business was one 81 the
leading industries of the valley as
he stated his plans include hog
farm which will be too much work
for one man to handle and he
hoped to get in touch with some
OF his old acquaintances who would
be interested in joining him IN the
enterprise.
Hog raising could again become
one of the most important indus
tries of Imperial county - stated
Campbell today. This county
formerly shipped from l8o to 100
cars of hogs a week and the COM
munity is now bringing hogs for
consumption in from the coast. At
the present time the hog raisers IN
Imperial Valley cannot supply their
own needs and what this valley
needs is breeder stock. This Is an
ideal time TO increase the hog pro-
duction," Campbell continued, for
the reason that the lack OF feed
in the corn belt this year has
caused farmers Of that section 70
sell their hogs for market prices
and next year the pig market is
hound to be short. In addition
the price of pork is up and the
price Of grain and corn down,
which is the right time to go into
hog raising"
Campbell pointed out the pros

SELECTING
FLOORS FOR

cles 10 appear in this column on
materials used for flooring and

Finest Floors From Narrow Stock
With the exception of teak wood.
The finest grades OF wood flooring are
those that are made from the mar
ToWest and longest pieces. AS each
pieces shrinks in proportion TO its
width. the narrower the piece the
less shl1nkage there will be and the
narrower the intervening cracks be-
tween boards. However, the narrow
sections cost more than the wide
ones. There is a greater expense for
manufacturing and more labor is re-
quired in the laying of them. For
home that is built from a limited
budget, one should be satisfied with
the average standard width OF floor
ing.
In the same way the better grades
OF hooring include the smallest num-
Der Of short pieces, thus minimizing
to the greatest extent the occurrence
of end joints. In cheap grades Of
flooring there are only a few long
pieces. For floors that are to be laid
IL factories where appearances do
not count, We are we'll satisfied TO
have u maximum amount of short
pieces.
Proper Thickness of F1oo1s
As for the proper thickness of
flooring boards, we think that for in
side work only 7s-inch stock should
De used. You are not justified in the
interests of decreased expense in
using q inch stock for a new floor.
Outside floors should be made from
Is inch material.
This brings US TO the matter Of
quality. Flooring is graded, like wood
used for other purposes, into a range
OF classes which are fixed by arbi-
trary degrees of perfection. For ex-
ample, you viii find oak flooring in
six different grades ranging all the
way from clear quarter sawed red
or white oak" to NO. 2 common"
The first grade is suitable for the
Very highest class of dwellings, ho-
tells and clubs. The lowest grade
may be used in factories and ware
houses. The middle grade, select,
plain sawed" is an excellent quality
for the inexpensive home. Other
woods are graded in the same way,
but with different names for each
class. Thus maple is manufactured
as clear" No. l, and Factory"
with qualities Of appearance in the
order named. You are safe in taking
the middle grade. When these floors
are expertly laid and properly fin
ished they are beautiful and just as
sound as the highest quality.
Qualities of Oak Flooring
In a home recently built, Select
plain oak" was specified. Now the
job had an unusual amount Of very
dark pieces in it which the owner
did not want in his living and din

and used in bedroom. By so doing

rooms looked very well. If the ryan
who lays your floors will first lay
out every piece that is TO be used
without mailing them, matching the
adjoining pieces SO that there IS a
certain degree of color uniformity.
q fine result may be obtained.

 The physician, who frequently has used dog teams and snow shoes in calls, is Dr. Don S. Num- bers.
 The patient, J. D. Monroe, a was operated upon late yesterday in the semi-twilight of raging snowstorm. He became sud denly ill while working at the lone ly little station of Squaw Meadows, 50 miles from Mccall.
 A telephone message was sent to Dr. Numbers that the man was dying, Despite the storm, the veteran physician began his trip across the

trackless wastes. He promised to keep friends at Mccall informed by telephone of his progress. Once he became lost and friends worried over his safety.
 Reaching Burgdorf, SC miles dis tant. he tclephoned that his patient had been brought there by sled.
 The doctor hastened to the noun taineer's bedside, built a fire, warm ed his hands and, with no nurse to help him. performed the operation while the wind outside whipped the snow into drifts that almost shut out what little light came through the windows.
 At dusk his task was finished. He remained to care for his patient. Whether the two have won their battle against death will be known in few days.
