LOCAL CHAMBER
INTERESTED In
FEE ON 'OLEO'

The El Centro Chamber of Com
merce and its dairy committee. un-
der the leadership Of A. w. Bunte,
is much interested in the proposal
made to the county board of su-
pervisors by Scott B. Foulds. secre-
ry-manager of the farm bureau,
that the county place tax on oleo-
margarine. Realizing that dairying
is one of Imperial Valleys major
interests and entitled to every pos
Sible protection, the chamber direc-
tors have long advocated curtailing,
if possible, sales of oleomargarine
in this county and have for a num-
Der of months been engaged in a
campaign to increase the use of
Imperial Valleys own dairy prod
ucts in Imperial county.
Chairman Bunte has been much
interested in the accomplishments
in Stanislaus county, where license
fee has been established and went
into effect on October %. Mer-
chants or other firms wishing to
handle oleomargarine must first
secure a license, costing S100, and
effective for a period of six months.
and, if operating more than one
place of business in the county, a
license for each such place must be
secured. Further provisions make
it unlawful to haul or ship into af-
tected areas without placing on
each package mark or label stat
ing that such package contains
oleomargarine. ViolatorS of any
provision are liable to a fine not
exceeding $500, or by imprisonment
in the county Jail for a term not to
exceed 180 days. This ordinance,
states Bunte, could well be used as
a model for other counties.
License fees paid to the county
clerk of Stanislaus county for a
permit to sell oleomargarine are
paid into the general fund of the
county, thereby increasing the
general fund of the county and in
directly cutting down taxes. Section
one of the ordinance states that the
word "oleomargarine" shall signify
any manufactured substance other
than butter, intended to be sold as
or for butter, or as substitute for
or imitation of butter, or as an in
gredient to be used in any substitute
for or imitation of butter.
Directors of the chamber of
commerce believe that such an or
dinance if put into effect in I'm
perial County would increase the
use of our own dairy products, pro-
tect the dairymen upon whom de-
pends the prosperity of Imperial
Valley and increase in a measure
the general funds of the county.

ROAD BUILDERS OF TWO STATES
GUESTS AT CHAMBER LUNCHEON

Hunt and Arizona have kept faith
with Imperial county and San Di-
ego" stated the speaker, land We
SHOULD. express our appreciation"
c. E. Adams, chairman of the
Arizano state highway commission,
spoke as a representative of Cover
nor Hunt, telling of the improve
ments which have been made in the
highways of Arizona and of the
plan to have good roads all over
Arizona by eXpending money for
highway work as fast as it is avail
able. Although the entire popula-
ton of the state of Arizona is but
a little over 100000, Adams pointed
out that the highway commission
had spent over S2,500,000 in high
way work in the past three months
and that the highway from Phoenix
to Yuma had cost over $4,000, 900.
At the close of the meeting Pres

Alfalfa Prices
Continue Firm

Alfalfa prices at the principal
markets ranged from steady to
somewhat stronger during the week
ending November 2, according to
the Weekly Alfalfa Market Review
of the Bureau of Agricultural Ec-
onomics. Demand was fairly good
for the continued moderate offer
ings at most points. The recent
firmness in feed grains and COM
mercial feedstuffs markets, togeth-
er with a continued holding tend
ency on the part of hay producers
to withhold offerings, were the
principal strengthening factors in
the alfalfa markets.
Quotations at Los Angeles were :
U. S. No. l, extra leafy, $3.50 to

PUBLIC ADDRESS
SYSTEM READY
FOR BIG GAME

While a public address system to
carry details of the game to all
parts of the field was being adjust

the Central Union High school foot
ball field preparing 1000 additional
bleacher seats for the crowd of over
1000 expected to witness the battle
between Brawley and Ell Centro

have eight traffic officers on the

In Ell Centro spirit was running
high, finding its climax in quiet
confidence on the part Of the high
school team. Every member of the
Ell Centre squad is in shape to play
tomorrow night. Butler is in shape
again, and probably will start the
game at left tackle, to be relieved
by Keesee when he gets tired.

school congregate tonight at State

celebration, with another pep rally

BUILDING
STANDS THREE
SEVERE TESTS

Rome c. Stephenson, president of
the American Bankers Association,
in connection with the centennial
celebration of the building and loan
business in the United States, de-
clared that the principle underly-
ing the organization of the building
and loan associations stands three
acid tests, the financial, the sociol-
oglical, and the psychological.
1.-THE financial in that the asso-
Citations utilize the amortization
principles which is the basis of all
true financing said Stephenson.
THE sociological, because they build
both the character Of the member
and of the community in which he
resides. The psychological, because
the repetition of payments tends to
form a habit This habit eventual
" may bring financial independence
to the members.
Little did the organizers of the
first building and loan association
q hundred years ago know that they
were setting up a plan which In
It's arrangements would, in less
than half a century, fit an indus
trial age then scarcely in the
dreams of the most imaginative.
With the development of the fac
tory system and the consequent
growth of the corporation, when TO
a greater degree people became
employees, rather than employers,
and received their wages at regular
intervals, the plan Of the building
and loan association came to mesh
admirably with the machinery of
business
Since the first association was
organized in this state in 1865 the
business has grown consistently
until today there are 200 institu-
tions with combined resources of
more than S4500O0,000. represent
ing the savings of 100000 investors,
according to Hugh Osborne. man
ager Imperial Valley Building &
Loan association. The reinyest-
ment of a large portion of the in
terest and dividends paid to invest
ors and members, amounting to
about S25,000,000, annually, has
been a big factor in this growth.
