FAIR CLOSES
AFTER WEEK OF
RAINY WEATHER

Like the proverbial Arabs strik-
ing their tents for a long journey
concessioners and booth keepers AZ
the Imperial county fair yesterday
afternoon packed up their belong
ings and BID farewell to the coun-
ty's yearly exposition for another
twelve-month period.
Numerous unpleasant inveetyes
were heaped on the head Of the
weather man who brought rain dur
ing the week Of the fair, and cleared
the skies only on the last Gay. when
mud and water standing about the
fair grounds presented q forbiddlng
aspect TO prospective visitors
Booths housed in the Exposition
building were the only exhibits
which entirely escaped damage be-
cause of the rain.
The county fair board was free
in expression Of hope that next year
will see happier weather Tor pres
entation of the exposition.
The fair, which had assumed
proportions of an extent TO do JUS
tice 10 any county in California, and
which should have been the most
successful n the history of the
county. was almost completely ruin
ed by the drenching rain.
Only one day Of horse racing was
presented, instead of the five days
scheduled. The automobile races
during the early stages of the fair.
were the only events which We're
entirely unhindered by the rain.
Despite yesterdays uninviting at
mosphere, there were numerous VS.
itors to the various exhibits through
out the day.

For Coughs
From Colds That
Worry You
A Supnr HaIp
A Super Help

Creomulsion is made to give supreme
help for coughs from colds that worry
you. 1t combines seven helps in one
the best helps known TO science. 1t is
for quick relief, for safety.
But careful people, more and more,
use it for every cough that starts. No
one knows where cough may lead. No
one can tell which factor will do most.
That depends on the type of cold.
Creomulsion costs Sl.25-a little more
than lesser helps. But it means the ut
most help. And it costs you nothing if
it fails TO bring the quick relief you
seek. Your druggist guarantees it. Use

"Smallwood'S Church Road" 1t Is said that
Gen. Washington was occasional visitor at

lid to the Mem0ry'

Many contract players have difficulty re-
rnembering how to score when a contract Is
defeated. 1t is simple enough if once under
stood When not vulnerable every undertrick
coun.s So if not doubled. Doubled, the first
counts 100, so does the second; the third and
fourth count 200 each, and tricks thereafter
400 each. When vulnerable, not doubled, 1t Is
100 for the first trick 200 for each trick there
after; doubled twice these amounts. Re-
doubled undertrickS count exactly twice as
much as doubled ones.
Thus, when not vulnerable, the doubled or
.redoubled value goes up two steps of two
tricks each" When vulnerable, the value goes
up 'one step of trick" Remembering
those two brief phrases should help.

Only players who use an original two bid to
show a hand midway between a one bid and
me-guarantee strength could reach the
grand slam bid on such hand without guess
ing Opposite such q bid South can tell that
a no-trump big slam is virtually sure. Those
whose two bids guarantee game would open
with one heart, or else three to reveal good
long suit with side strength, and would reach
a contract of six no trumps by sound bidding.
In a recent duplicate contest one prominent
player fulfilling six contract made exactly
that number of tricks because, after taking him
two top hearts, he let the adversaries win one
heart trick and then ran the rest.
Another declarer, the noted Sidney S. Len1,
who had bid seven, made the seven. He could
count three sure diamond tricks, the king OF
spades and five sure club tricks-total nine
tricks-as the first stage Of his hand. Play
ing in this order, If an opponent had three
hearts, including high honor, the big slam
could still be made If that same adversary
also had the queen Of spades. After nine
tricks had been played the adversary obvt.
ously could not hold i've cards-the three
necessary hearts and two spades. When Lenz
led the ace Of spades to the tenth trick West
was obliged to play the queen. Lenz jack and
10 were now good, and he would need only one
heart trick. So, just for fun, he discarded the
heart ace and kept the king for the last trick.
