COFFEE VARIES IN
FLAVOR IF ROAST
IS "H|GH'' OR ''L0W''
Hills Bros. Overcome This
Variation by Their Patented
Process-Controlled Roasting

There is no way to know when a
big batch of coffee is perfectly
roasted. One batch may be high" +"
another "low," with the result that
there is variation of flavor.
- Hills Bros. overcome this uncer-
Iainty, with their radically differ
ent and exclusive process - Con-
trolled Roasting. AS the accuracy
of the hour-glass depends upon an
even, continuous flow =. a little at
a time so the uniform flavor of
Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by
this patented process that roasts
evenly, continuously = q little at
time. Positive control of heat de-
velops every berry to perfection -
to the degree that insures a rich,
full-bodied, unvarying flavor in
every pound.
No other coffee tastes like Hills
Bros. Coffee because no other coffee
is roasted the same way. Controlled
Roasting is Hills Bros own process.
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans that keep it ever
fresh. Air, which destroys the fla
vor of coffee, is removed from
cans and kept out. Coffee packed in
ordinary cans, even if "air-tight," !"
does not stay fresh. Ask for Hills
Bros. Coffee by name, and look for
the Arab trademark on the can.

LTHOUGH all of us are not
~ fortunate enough to have our
own tomato patch, We nevertheless
are able to serve this fruit-VeGe-
table at a comparatively low price
at this season of the year. Fresh
tomatoes are coming into the To-
cal markets in abundance and they
are at their best when they are
"home- grown" and sun-ripened.
Fully matured, naturally ripened
tomatoes are rich sources of vita
Minis A, B and c and should ap-
pear daily in our menus as long
as they are ohtainable.
Tomatoes make an economical
substitute for oranges just now,
while the citrus fruit is scarce and
high Keep in mind, however.
that tomatoes have only half the
vitimin c content of oranges and
use them in proportion. Other
fresh fruits and vegetables add
their share of vitamin G also and
help to keep up the necessary
standard.
A recent investigation regarding
the iron content of certain fruits
and vegetables reveals that the
Juice contains only a small part of
the iron in oranges and tomatoes.
This definite bit of scientific in
formation is of great value to the
homemaker since it enables her
to make the most of her foods.
They're All-day Food
The ways of serving fresh toma-
toes are countless. From breakfast
to dinner they find a welcome. A
toasted bacon and tomato sand
wich is an appetizing innovation
in the breakfast menu. A tomato
juice cocktail is a stimulating first
course for a luncheon or dinner or
breakfast. Stuffed tomato salads
are almost legion, the number of
combinations being limited only
by the cooks Imagination. Fruits,
vegetables and meats-includin
fish and poultry-combine excel
lently with the pleasant tartness of
tomatoes.
AS the season advances, fresh
tomatoes can be used to advantage
In hot dishes. They are particu-
larly good in scalloped dishes since
the juice supplies enough liquid.
Plenty of coarse buttered crumbs
must be used in order to absorb

HAYS TO REPORT
ON CONFERENCE
AT SALT LAKE

The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce is today in receipt of tele-
graphic advices from Manager Ro-
bert Hays that the drought situa-
ton in the western states is even
more serious than was at first
thought. Manager Hays, together
with j. w. Donohue, division freight
and passenger agent of the South
ern Pacific, are in Salt Lake City in
attendance at conference called
by Governor George H. Dern, of
Utah, to seek solution of the
problem of taking care of thousands
of cattle and sheep in the drought
stricken states of Utah, Montana,
Idaho, Nevada, and Nebraska;
where there is not only an entire
lack of feed but also serious short
| age Of water. and where stock rails
ers are threatened with the neces-
sity of either sacrificing their herds
or of permitting them to die of STAR
yation and thirst
The representatives of the cham
Der of commerce were joined at Salt
Lake City by p. " Harrigan, from
the office of the county horticul-
tural department, as we'll as by DR..
j. j. King. of the state department
of commerce, personal representa-
tive Of Governor Rolph. The dele
CATION reports that Imperial Valley
is the only considerable area with
any surplus feed to offer. and the
prospects are very good that
through their efforts many thou
sands of cattle and sheep will be
shipped into the Imperial Valley for
winter feeding and fattening.
The conference began its delibe-
ration Monday morning and con-
tinued its sessions until Tuesday
evening. Manager Hays was ap-
pointed member Of the feed and
pastures committee and is thus in
position to do very effective work
in directing the attention of the
stock raisers to the advantages Of
fered by Imperial Valleys vast al
falfa and barley acreage. Cattle
raisers in the intermountain states
have been considering the pastures
of Imperial Valley for some time,
due to the publicity given by the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce
through articles furnished over 300
newspapers of the northwest calling
attention to our available pastur-
age.
The Imperial Valley delegates left
Salt Lake City for Ell Centre on
Tuesday evening and upon their ar
rival full report of the proceedings
of the conference will be made pub
lie.

today's ceremony. Hundreds of
snakes. collected from the nearby
desert, were placed in the snake
kiva. When light entered that pit,
the priests handed snakes to the
weaving throng of brewn bodied
men who passed them in single file.
Soon all the snake clansmen pos
sessed one or more snakes. All sorts
Of reptiles are used but a majority
were deadly rattlers, which are
common to the Hopi country.
Weird figures-of- EIGHT and other
fantastic designs were formed by the
dancers. while along the sidelines
the walters and chanters, aided by
the twirlers of bullroarers, kept a
swell of sound rolling out in cadence
to the steady beat of the dancers
feet.
Twisting and squirming, an occa-
sional snake would manage to sink
his poison fangs Into the Indian
who held him clamped tightly be-
tween his cleaning teeth. But that
didn't bother the snake clansmen.
They possess a secret fluid which
renders the bite of rattlesnake
harmless.
Hour after hour until near the
close of day the dance continued.
Suddenly, at a shouted command,
the dancers raced to the center of
the plaza and hurled the snakes in
cleaning mass. All was quiet for
moment when with rush, the
snakes were seized again and car
ried to the north, south, east and
west and released so they might go
home and tell the underworld gods
that snake clansmen of the Hopi
people were still true to the faith
of their fathers
Tomorrow the dance will be
enacted at Walpai, another cliff VIII
lage not far from here. Hundreds
of tourists and Indians, who are not
members of the snake clan, witness
sed today's ceremony. More will
see the Walpai dance tomorrow as
it is more accessible by automobile
than Mishongnovi.

see what drinks were on hand. A
woman appeared and told him to
keep his hands off, he testified.
Offended, he walked away.

HOPI INDIANS STAGE ANNUAL
SNAKE DANCE TO RAIN GODS

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., Aug. l9. U.P)
Prayers to pagan gods, with rat
tlesnakes serving as messengers, were
offered today at Mishongnovi, as
the snake clan of the Hopi tribe
staged the first phase Of its annual
snake dance.
Excited cries and the rattle of bull
roarers sounded over the high mesa
land of northern Arizona shortly
after the noon hour when streak
of light from the overhead sun
streamed through hole in an un-
derground pit.
From the four corners OF the
plaza, in the center of the ancient
cliff village, the high priests OF the
snake clan chanted their prayers
starting the long siege of dancing
during which the participants fon-
died rattlesnakes with their mouths
and hands.
Through the afternoon the cere-
mony continued with the snake
dancers pleading with their little
brothers of the underworld" to re-
turn home after the dance with a
message of thankfulness TO the gods
from the Hopi people.
The dance is a combination pray
er for rain and of thanks. Snakes
have a special significance inaSr:uch
as they reach. Hopis believe. cer-
tain gods not contacted in any 9TH
er way.
Just once a year does the light
from the sun strike the hole in the
top of the underground pit When
it does the snake dance starts.

Single, Married, Widowed,
 And Divorved Persons
 Tn the Population of Alaska

The director of the Census has announced the results of the tabulation of the popula- tion returns for Alaska by mar tial condition. The total num- Der of males 15 years of age and over in Alaska on October 1, 1929, was 26,350. Of this number, 13,001, or 49.3 per cent, were single; 11,089, or 42.1 per cent, were married; 60 per cent were widowed; and 2.4 per cent, were di- vorced. Of the 14,818 females 15 years of age and over, g. S67, or 19.3 per cent, we're single; 10, ,419, or 70.3 per cent were married; 8.8 per cent were widowed; and 1.6 per cent were divorced.
 There has been a decrease in the percentage single among male whites since 1920, with a corresponding increase in the percentage married in the same class; while among the male Indians there has been an in- crease in the percentage single since 1920, with a correspond ing decrease in the percentage married. In the female popula- ton the percentage single is very small in all classes, par ticularly among the foreign born white population. There has been a slight increase, however, in the percentage sin gle among native whites and Indians. This low percentage single in the female population is balanced by the large per- centage married.
 For the population as a whole, the percentage divorced has increased since 1920, while the percentage widowed has de- creased.
