BUSINESS CONDITIONS HERE
INDICATE BIG IMPROVEMENT

able to lay in a complete supply Of
fall merchandise in preparation for
a revival of business which always
occurs in Imperial Valley in Oct
ober, with the ending of the vaca-
ton period and return of residents
to El Centro Although prices on
fall merchandise have set a new
low record, it is generally believed
that the difference in value of
sales will be offset by the increase
in volume as has been indicated III
shopping centerS of the east. Col
lections are improving and the u.s.
ual seasonal pick up in collections
will nc doubt be felt in October
Farm Prices
The price of agricultural pro-
ducts in Imperial Valley always
has a definite bearing on business
conditions in the cities of the coun-
ty and, with a slight but steady
increase in the price of butterfat
over the low level reached last
year, and a rise in the price of hay,
the outlook for Imperial Valley
dairymen and hay growers is en-
couraging and will undoubtedly re-
act fayorably on general business
conditions, according to the cham
Der of commerce statement.
1t is expected that, with the re-
duction in freight rates on feeder
cattle from the drought stricken
areas, winter feeders will begin to
move into the valley shortly and
thousands of acres of winter feed
will be utilized and new paintings
made on land which might other
wise have remained uncultivated
this year. The outlook on the
winter vegetable crop is also re-
ported to be favorable, despite a
decrease in acreage planted
The chambers check up on fruit
and vegetable growers and ship
ers for the past season shows prac-
tically no carrying over of obli-
cations from last springs crops
and, with the possibility of SER
ious water shortage ended, there is
no reason why the vegetable and
fruit crops Of Imperial Valley
should not be a success this year.
This outlook is regarded by cham
Der officials as especially favorable
in view of the fact that many Sec
tons Of the country are faced with
drought conditions and resultant
crop reduction so serious that fed
eral aid has been asked to tide
farmers and cattle and sheep grow
erS over the winter. Aid from the
Red Cross has also been applied
for in many communities during
September for the relief of local
residents and this is a decided con-
trast to conditions in Imperial
Valley where relief is being plan
ned, not for county residents, but
for the transients who each year
come to Southern California for
the winter months.
eve should be very thankful that
conditions are so sound in Imper-
lal Valley stated r. B. WhitelaW
president of the FL Centre cham
ber, land if every resident will COM
pare his individual circumstances
and conditions in this valley with
those existing in other sections of
the country, a general feeling of
optimism is bound to result which
will do much to keep A sound econ
omic balance and ward off any
serious depression in this commun-
ity."

L but savory luncheon and dinner
dishes always are welcomed by
the many women who must plan
prepare and serve three meals a
day for a family living on a mod
crate inc0.rie.
This task may seem more than
usually troublesome just now,
when fewer fresh fruits and vege-
tables are in the market, so it is
necessary to use greater ingenuity
to keep our meals from slipping
into rut and becoming monoton-
Gus. Yet, with the skillful use of
tasty condiments and relishes, and
by using those foods that are avail
able in just as many different ways
as possible, we can easily solve this
problem of serving appetizing
meals at a moderate cost, even dur
ing the winter months.
The practical meat and vegetable
dishes that are listed below will

CLASSIC FOR CLASSES

This season, while everyone has
been stressing the softly feminine
styles for women, a few masculine
fashions have crept into women's and
misses apparel. One can detect them
in the new fitted woods, for the new
"woolies" of English tradition are
tailored with boyish lines. This mas
culinely tailored Norfolk is as fash
ionable for the little girl, as the man
nish buccaneer belts and be1l-boy
buttons are for her mother. The
Norfolk bands are stitched to a point
above the knee, where they release in
pleats. The yoke Is extended to a
very off-the-shoulder sleeve, which is
splendid tailoring for scrawny 49,
year-old shoulder blades. You may
employ the most practical wool, plaid
or serge, in this frock, because its dis
tinctive lines prevent it from looking

trasting tint-a bright touch.

Of the neatest and most nourishing
quick breakfasts that can be sug-
gested for the commuter, who m cas-

To lend variety to citrus fruit bev-
erages, particularly those served at
luncheon, dinner, or more formal
occasions, ice cream, honey, plain
cream, maple syrup, coffee, sherbet,

juices should be extracted shortly

SPORT CAR POPULAR;
PROPORTION OF EACH
YEARS OUTPUT GROWS

One of the significant trends il
the automotive field, evident dur
ing the past year or two and Ger
tain to be more pronounced THAI
ever this motoring season, is th'
evolution in popular favor toward
the sport or deluxe type car. Pop
ularized on college campus, thC
'dolled up" automobile represents
a constantly growing proportion Of
each years output, with the in
crease in favor meaning gradually
lowering prices due to volume
points out H. J. Klingler, vice
president and general sales mana
ger of the Chevrolet Motor cont
pany.
"0nly a relatively short time
ago the sport car represented
something of a novelty for two
reasons-only a limited few want
ed it, and the manufacturer-par-
ticularly the volume manufacturer
could not include it in his pro-
duction schedules because of the
necessarily high price which ne
would have had to place on this
type by reason of that limited de-
mand.. Mr.. Klingler explained.
"Youth, largely. made up the pur-
chasers of the sport car because
of the individuality the car ex-
pressed. Elders chung to the dig
nifty of the closed type as against
the informal open model.
But here as elsewhere, youth
won out The demand for sport
cars grew. The manufacturer
found a way to incorporate their
production in his program. He
went even further. He devised
means of making deluxe models of
the enclosed type, evolving en-
tirely new body styles. He pro-
duced car embodying maximum
utility, which appealed to elders,
and the deluxe features that had
intrigued youth.
Few realize the hold deluxe
models have today on the auto
buying public. The truth is, as
represented by Chevrolet, that
when our 1881 line is rounded out,
exactly half the models in it will
have sport equipment.
Another interesting develop
ment in connection with deluxe
models is their constantly decreas-
ing purchase price. Originally
they were usually the most expen-
sive model of any manufacturer.
He made too few of them to per-
nit the saving effected by guam
tity production, just as once closed |
cost more than the open
types because more of the latter
were produced. Today the deluxe
closed models costs a very little |
more than the same standard body |
type. In some instances it costs
less than other standard closed
models in manufacturers line.
The present-day volume demand
for deluxe models is responsible.
We are now turning out sport
models in such numbers that their
added cost is spread out so thinly
as to add relatively little to the
cost of the individual unit"
