USES WESTERN
PRODUCTS IN TIRE MATERIAL

The policy of the Goodyear lire
& Rubber Co, of California, to utiiize
western products as much as possible
in the manufacture Of its tires, IS clear
u illustrated by statistics which reveal
that 95.3 per cent of all cotton USED
at the Los Angeles plant tor the year
ending July, 1881, was western grown
E w. oylear, local Goodyear dealer
announced this week. 4
"The Company's records show that
7.O88956 pounds Of raw cotton were
used during the year" Mr.. Oyiear SAID
aOf this amount, 6,756,704 pounds We're
produced in the San Joaquin and Paio
Verde Valleys in California and the
Salt River and Yuma Valleys IN Ar
IONA.
.Takina the average yield of cotton
for tho western States of 351la pounds
ner acre. this means that the Good
wear Company used the entire crop or
at least 1928 acres. If all OF thus cot
ton was suitable for tire fabric eacn
acre would produce enough tor 90
average automobile tires, but since
cotton for Goodyear fabrics manuiac-
h,red in California are selected wltr
extreme care, this figure is greatly re-
duced.
aThis carefully selected Western COT
ton is woven into the famous super
tu,;st cord at the Goodyear Textii
) Mill, adjacent to the tire plant in 10
Angeles. Supertwist is used excluslvei

TALKATIVE GEORGE BRAYS AGAIN

@ ENATOR GEORGE MOSES, that talk
- atiye senator from New Hampshire who
seems to take pleasure in digging it into the
West, has again broken into print. It will
be remembered he referred, not many
months ago, to the representatives OF West /
ern states as the sssons Of wild jackasses. II
The senator wants to form New England
bloc in congress representing its self-sup-
porting, self-respecting people who do not
hammer at the gates OF congress to nave
the government do those things which NJ
dividuals should do for themselves. His
TRADE this time has again called forth a
statement from our own Senator Walsh.
Senator Walsh calls the honorable senator's
attention to the fact that for years the New
England states have been demanding tariff
favors from generous government.
Senator Walsh's stand is we'll taken
The New England states and other sections
of the manufacturing East have constantly
demanded higher and higher tariffs to pro
tect their "infant industries and becaus
of the protection those tariffs gave then
they have been able to pile up millions upo
millions. The East has so long enjoyed TIL
privileges of a protective tariff and la
grown so fat and arrogant under that pro
lection that it has reached the state of min
where it no longer considers the tariff as
protection given it by generous govern
ment but demands it as a divine right.
Senator Moses ought to travel arom
through the West for few months, g
acquainted with this great country out he
and above all get some of the cobwe
brushed out Of his brain.

DRAFT OF CANAL
CONTRACT TO BE
GIVEN PUBLICITY

Release of tentative drafts of the
proposed All-American canal was
authorized by directors of the ir-
rigation district today following an
other paragraph by paragraph read
ing in the district board room this
morning.
Three of the five directors of the
district, the chief engineer, attorney
and secretary were present this
morning and agreed that the pres
ent draft is in proper shape for
consideration by the secretary OF
interior, upon whose approval furth-
er steps in the project must wait.
Because of the importance Of the
proposed contract and the serious
ness of any possible mistake in its
wording, the district board has with
held publication release until today
to give the chief engineer and the
attorney ahple time to complete
final study of its terms.
Directors today stated that they
are anxious for every resident OF the
Imperial and Coachella Valleys to
read the tentative contract careful
ly and to understand just what its
ratification will mean.
Directors Mark Rose, w. o. Blair
and Ira Aten, the three who were
present at today's reading OF the
Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-01

proposed contract, declared that
they believe it to be in as good
shape as is possible at present, and
indicated their approval of its pro-
visions.
Due to the length of the contract
it will be printed in installments
starting next week.

IMPROVED ROASTING.
PROCESS RESULTS IN.
DISTINCTIVE COFFEE.
Flavor Such as No Other Coffee
Has is Marvelousfy De-
veloped Through Control

Beyond q doubt the most revolu-
tionary event in the history of
coffee was the invention and pat
enting, a few years ago, of a re-
markable roasting process by Hills
Bros. of San Francisco. o
This process is called Controlled
Roasting. By permitting only a
few pounds of coffee at a time to
pass continuously through the roast
ers in which the heat and speed of
operation are accurately controlled,
perfect roast is insured. Every
berry is roasted evenly with the
result that there is a matchless,
uniform flavor in every pound.
Tests show that such flavor cam
not be developed by the common
method of roasting coffee in bulk.
In spite of watchful care, the op-
orator cannot prevent variation of
roast in the different patches. Nat
urally there is variation in the
havor.
In order to keep their delicious
coffee absolutely fresh, Hills Bros.
pack it in vacuum. By this process
air, which destroys the flavor of
coffee, is taken out of the can and
kept out. Ordinary cans, even if
air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
Hills Bros. Coffee is sold every
where by grocers. Ask for it by
name and look for the Arab-the
trade-mark-on the can.
