HEAT FAILS TO
HINDER WORK OF
'CATERPILLARS'

Heat does not matter with Ca
terpillar, desert tested for % years"
Such is the statement of Ben
Hulse of the Hulse- Anderson Trac-
tor and Equipment Company of FL
Centro. Caterpillar has been
thoroughly tested in every climate
including Imperial Valley. and we
have yet to find a place where
Caterpillar will not perform the
job better quicker and cheaper
Hulse says.
The fact that Imperial Valley
has passed through a period of de-
preston, prevalent the country over.
with flying colors, is also pointed
out by Hulse, who says that the
purchase of good, efficient equip
ment for any line of business will
help cut the cost of production and
add TO the profit side of the ledger.
The depression has stimulated the
sale OF Caterpillar" in the valley.
according to Hulse, in order that
economy may prevail.
Good times for the entire coun-
try are just around the corner"
says Hulse, and I wish to pledge
cur continued cooperation with the
farmer in order that we may do our
bit toward the early realization of
prosperity for the country as a
whole"

Uncle Wiggily was riding through
the city streets perched on top of
load of vegetables drawn by a
bony white horse. On the seat of
the rafting, banging old wagon sat
a man singing song. The man
was happy. for he was going to sell
his carrots. lettuce, beans, apples,
oranges and cauliflower and get
money SO he could go to the talk

MANY ARRESTS

AT JAIL WORKING

Sheriff George l.. Campbell's
staff of jailers during the past two
days went through the busiest ses-
sion of booking prisoners the coun-
ty Jail has known in a long while
Exact figures show that from
1926 Wednesday afternoon until 3
O'Clock this morning 81 prisoners
were booked. This is 81 prisoners
in 81 hours and 25 minutes.
Eddie Nett, chief jailer, Jack
Carter. city jailer. and Clay Poole,
night jailer, bore the brunt OF the
sudden rush of business, working
overtime to lodge the prisoners in
their respective places.
OF the 81 arrested, 80 are still
held in Jail, the rest having been
released. A majority of those ar
rested were city prisoners, picked up
when the city police instituted a
clean up campaign directed at vag-
rants and drunks.

these booked were V. Martinez, 81,

SCHOOL DAYS

The close of the school year in Ell
Centre finds many of our youngsters
ready to go out into the business world.
Others preparing to continue their stud
les in institutions for higher learning,
while several hundred in the grammar
schools step up a grade.
Those who have completed the local
course of study go into the world or to
college with the knowledge that their
city has given them an education as good
as can be obtained anywhere in the
United States. If they have not made
use of the opportunity extended to them
they cannot lay the blame on Ell Centre.
If they have made good use of their time
they will look back in later years with
kindly feeling toward the city which
gave them their start in life.
The happiest years of their lives are
present for the youngsters who still re-
main in our schools. They may not real
ize it themselves, which is certainly a
pity, but nevertheless it is true.
There has been a great change in our
public schools from the old days when a
single room sufficed for all who attend
ed the school, Today grammar schools
are as commodius and as we'll equipped
as the high schools which many of an
older generation knew, while our high
schools have progressed to the point
where they are in reality, small colleges.
So too there has been change in the
attitude of those attending school. In
very few cases is school considered bor-
ing and the percentage OF truancy Is very
low, much lower than in the old days.
Whereas many of us can recall the time
when going to school required consider
able moral driving, and playing hockey
was freely INDUCED in, particularly by
boys, today youngsters admit that they
get more fun out of life when going to
school than they do when school is not
in session.
The city has reason to be proud OF its
schools and the work which they are do
ing. They are preparing the future men
and women of Ell Centro for life and
they are preparing them we'll. Members
of the teaching staffs of the grammar
and high schools have deep apprecla-
ton of the responsibility which is theirs,
not only in imparting an education to
those placed in their charge, but fitting
them in every way to be good citizens
And it might be pointed out that not too
MANY parents recognize the burden as
sumed by the teachers in taking charge
of the welfare of their children for sew
eral hours each day. The teachers rec
