Is Featured In
Magazine Story

Sales achievements on electric re-
frigeration by the I. V. Hardware
is a feature article in the current
issue of Hardware Age" a nation
ally circulated trade journal, pub
liShed in New York City.
The article explained how the To-
cal hardware firm has sold six car
loads of Majestic electric refrigera-
tors during the past eight months.
Several views of the interior of the
company's local store and their
window displays were given in the
magazine as well as a summary OF
the company's business in all I'M
perial and Yuma Valley towns. The
fact that the l. V. Hardware Com
pany attained such a remarkable
sales record in a supposedly off
year impressed the publishers of
the Hardware Age" that Imperial
Valley is a community of active
business.
Warren Currier, sales manager of
the local firm, said today, The
seventh full carload of Majestic re-
frigerators has just arrived from the
factory at Chicago A majority of
these" stated Currier, ARE already
sold and will be installed in valley
homes as soon as returning vaca-
tionistS arrive. Dependable refrig-
Grafton is such an essential item in
the lives Of valley residents that we
anticipate a very active season for
the balance of the year

SAYS MOON HAS
NO INFLUENCE
ON WEATHER
By Blosser
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press Staff Correspondent


PARIS, Sept. 5. U.P)-Ine Able
Moreau, director of the observatory
Of Bourges, and famous as a pro-
phet Of good and evil days, has
declared that the influence of the
moon was practically negligible IL
its effects on the weather.
1.-THE moon has no connection
with changes in the atmosphere,
which cause areas of depression,
winds, rains and the extremes of
temperature" the Able said; AL
that it affects on earth is the ris-
ing and falling tides"
The venerable Able asserted how
ever, that both the ancients and
not a few modern students believe
that there are indications given by
the moon which bear close rela-
ton to weather prediction.
We only have to cite the words
of General Bugeaud, the conqueror
of Isley, contained in one of his
letters dated Nov. 20, 1841," the
Able pointed out General Bu-
geaud wrote, Eleven times out of
IL, the weather during an lunar
month can be judged by the 5th
day: that is, if the 9Th day resem-
bleS the 5th, and it being clear,
the rest of the month will be more
or less the same If the 9Th day
is compared to the 4th day, the
prediction comes true nine times
out of r."
The Able Moreau observed, how
ever, that not only General Blu
geaud wrote of this prediction, but
said that it was known to the an
clients, particularly to Virgil, who
had mentioned it in the First Book
of his Georges.
The ancients believed that the
4th day of the new moon was in
dicative, and they believed it was
an infallible sign, based on long
Pliny the Elder wrote, according
to Able Moreau, In Egypt it is
observed that the 4th day of the
new moon must be taken as an in
dication. II the lunar body shows
itself clear on the fourth day, fine
weather will continue throughout
the MONTH

HAY MARKETS SHOWN IN
REPORT FROM LOS ANGELES

reported generally to be releasing
supplies slowly at current bids. Rel
ports further indicate that appar-
emily successful negotiations are
proceeding in Reno for drought
freight rates to bring cattle and
sheep inc the Imperial Valley from
Nevada for feeding. Various re-
ports indicate it is generally ex-
pected that a sufficient number of
cattle and sheep will be brought into
the Imperial valley to consume most
of the fall and winter feed and
practically all their low grade hay.
Receipts Of alfalfa hay at Los An
geles by rail during August totaled
three cars. compared with 1860 cars
the corresponding period in 1928.
Not a single carload Of alfalfa hay
was reported received at the Macy
team tracks For comparison in
past years, as many as in excess OF
$50 cars were received at that ter
minal in one day. Truck receipts
at Los Angeles during the week
ending September were equivalent
to 101 carloads; last week, Ito;
August, 522; July $40 carloads.
Truck receipts at Hynes, Artesia and
Norwalk during the week ending
September 3 were reported equiva-
lent to IT'S carloads; last week, 1853;
August, 81; July, 1043.
Prevailing prices to consumers on
the basis of current sales of alfalfa
hay comparable to the following
grades per ton, Los Angeles, are as
follows today; U. S. No. l, $780,
14.00; U. S. No leafy, S13.00-l3.50
and U. S. No. 2, Sl2.00-13.00. Prices

Working For Good Health

Good health should certainly interest the people
of Nogales
It is a boon to all individuals fortunate enough
to be so blessed but unfortunately it is not always
within the reach Of an individual Too often good
health is denied to children through the lives Of their
Parents This being should realize that the time
to plan for good health is about three generations
ahead.
DR.. Charles Mayo, distinguished American SUR
geon stresses this idea when he says that 'he great
est work before the physicians and surgeons of the
world is to teach the public that there is much truth
in the old adage that an of prevention is worth
q pound of cure"
This is the air age in politics, anyway.

that it is we'll known.
