e HOLDER FOLDS ABOUT
IO~ g e

Textile napkin holders or rings are
the most popular of all contrivances to-
day by which personal napery Is dis
tinguished and kept separate for use at
consecutive meals. Without some means
of knowing to whom napkins belong
1t is impossible not to get them mixed
up. So, unless clean napery Is at each
place at every meal, some method
of keeping track Of the different pieces
is essential to preserve the niceties OF
table service.
Two patterns are offered today, one
for Hardanger napkin holders, and the
other for embroidered rings Of another
type. Each kind takes but very
short time to make, requires but a
trifling amount of material, and little
embroidery medium. BY using different
colors of the embroidery medium (silk
or merceriZed cotton) each persons
napkin is Immediately recognized.
Initials of members Of a family can
be worked on different holders and the
same color scheme can be used for an
entire set. It Is wise to have at least
two without initials as guest napkin
rings.
On one guest ring put an x which
always signifies the unknown In algebra
and which in this instance indicates
the unknown guest whom you hope to
welcome to your "board"-as a dining
table was once termed On the other
put an o representing the circle of
friendship.
For Summer camps and cottages
where fabric napkins are used in pref
erence to paper napkins, the holders
can be Of a high grade of table oilcloth.
It can match the damask design on a
table oilcloth lunch or breakfast cover.
The embroidered napkin ring in the
patterns offered can be used to advan-
tage for this work. Blanket stitch edges
and outline the design in oil paints or
substitute an initial outlined in paint.
for the floral design. Letters in the
Medallion Alphabet are excellent for
this initiating.

Summer Hatching
Is Successful

Imperial Valleys only year around
chicken hatchery, the Fred w. Sim
mons plant at Imperial, recently
embarked upon its second season
and again will engage in summer
hatched chicks.
Contrary to q local belief, chick
ems can be hatched and raised in
Imperial Valley during the summer
months and at a cheaper rate than
during the winter. There is no
brooding cost in the summer, ac-
cording to Simmons, who tried the
plan most successfully last sum-
mer.
In three weeks 1o,9S4 chickens
may be hatched in the incubators
which were sent to Simmons with
out down payment on account oil
his having disproved the non
summer Matching illusion.
Summer hatching provides a
market for produce men here as il
is impossible for them TO sci fertile
eggs to grocers during the farm
weather.
i. Chickens shipped in to the valley
from the coast are apt to become
oyerheated in transport and hence
will be weakened, said Simmons.

PROGRAM GIVEN
AT LIONS CLUB

Allen Bixby of Pasadena, director

of the day at the Lions club meet
ing held yesterday in the Barbara
Worth hotel.
Memorial day formed the theme
for the program and Bixby pointed
out the value of service clubs.

achieve permanent peace.
The origin and purposes of Me-
mortal day occupied the greater
part of his address, the speaker
stating that the day itself is not
only for the purpose of honoring
those who lost their lives for their
country, but for the purpose of
commemorating the fine spirit of
sacrifice and loyalty which they ex-
emplified.
1t is this same spirit which the
true patriot of today should carry
out in his daily life, Bixby declared,
this spirit of protection for ones
country and ones fellow citizens
Patriotism of this sort will result in
better community life.
Margaret Linekin Bratton, accom-
panied by Omego Connolly, gave a
splendid Memorial day solo as did
Harry Becker, accompanied by Es-
telle Livingston.

VALLEY FINISHES
ITS SECOND YEAR
AS WHITE SPOT

With only eight white spots in
the nations business map as Of May
/, showing business conditions in
the United States, Imperial Valley
is second largest Of the eight, the
largest being shown as the Pan
handle section Of Texas and Okla
home. according TO a report re-
ceived today by the El Centre
Chamber of Commerce. This sets a
record of two complete years in
''in the white" on the monthly map
prepared by Frank Greene. editor Of
Bradstreets and indicates that
throughout this period business
conditions IN this community have
been good, compared to conditions
in other sections Of the United
States.
Although there are more black"
or 'ouiet" spots on this months map
than in the map Of April /, Greene
states that retail trade, due large
ly to warm spring weather, main
tanned relatively better rate in
April, throughout the country, than
was shown in either wholesaling or
manufacturing. A gain, he states,
was noted in automobile production
and activity in the textile industries
in the United States as a whole.
There is already evident" states
Greene. "a trimming down Of the
percentages Of decrease shown in

from a year ago. This is not due
to expansion this year SO much as
to the fact that comparisons from
now on will tend TO be with thin
ner totals of volume a year ago.

report decrease in volume of bust
ness during the first four months
of 1881, as compared with the first
four months Of 1890, although many
business houses report sales from
March Is to May ! equal 10 or
above the same period of the previ-
GUS year. This would indicate, ac-
cording to r. 3. Whitelaw, presi-
dent of the FL Centre Chamber,
that the greatest slowing up of
business in e. Centro waSselt dur
ing the late winter months and was
due to the fact that the lettuce sea-
son was not as successful as in the
previous year and that with sue
cessful cantaloupe season El Centre.

and general business conditions and
