CHAMBER HEARS
EVANGELIST IN
CIVIC ADDRESS

You can stop the invasion of an
army, but you cannot stop the in
yasion of an idea," stated DR..
Charles Reign Scoville, speaking
yesterday before the FL Centro
Chamber of Commerce at the week.
Fly luncheon meeting on the subject
of civic advancement. DR.. Scoville
used as his theme the parting in
structionS OF a Spartan mother to
her soldier son, Ride bareback, hit
the bulls eye, keep your shield"
BY riding bareback the speaker
explained that he meant to be in
dependent and he pointed out the
opportunities in Imperial Valley,
not only in diversified farming but
cattle feeding and the possibilities
of shipping the fattened cattle by
water from the coast cities.
DR.. Scoville stated that the sec
ond part of his theme meant to be
exact and keep faith, and in this
connection he urged that the peo-
pie of this community look ahead.
not for next year or 10 years hence.
but 100, 200 or 500 years and build
for that time. He emphasized the
need of permanent homes in El
Centre and Of persons investing in
Imperial Valley making their homes
in this community and not merely
remaining outside capital"
"A chamber of commerce or a
community" said the speaker, lis
only the size of the individual men
in it; If those men are big the fu-
ture is big; if they are small, fear
ing bad times and eyading progress,
they reap what they SOW. Imperia,
Valley IS just in the forenoon of its
existence and each community
should decide what it needs most
and accomplish it. If they do not
work for what they need most they
won't need it and they will regret
it only once-forever.
Those attending the chamber
luncheon were entertained by two
piano solos, "Barcarole" and Fire
fly, by Friml beautifully inter-
preted by Prof. Isaac Newton Far
!s, organist with tn, Scoville party.
DR.. Scoville and Prof. Farris were
introduced to those attending the

also introduced Rev. v. E. Butter
worth, pastor of the State Street
Christian church and Mrs. Butter
worth.
R. B. Whitelaw, president of the
local chamber, welcomed H. r.
Berger, local ieWeler. who has re-
turned to Ell Centro to reside and

LITTLE CHANGE
DURING MONTH
in COAST AREA

Statistics ana reports of condi-
tions in principal lines of activity
indicated comparatively little
change in the business situation in
Southern California during Febru-
ary except for mild seasonal ex-
pansion in few branches of indus
try. February, like the preceding
months, offered no tangible eyi-
dence of q definite recovery in
business. On the whole it may be
said that business followed a later
al course during the month. Oper-
ations in most lines were carried
on at lower levels than prevailed
in February, 1890.
This is the Introductory para
graph OF the Monthly Summary of
Business Conditions in the Pacific
Southwest territory compiled by the
Department of Research and Serv-
ice of the Security-First National
Bank of Los Angeles, and released
for publication today. The sum-
mary continues in part:
February reports from firms In
major lines of manufacturing de-
noted only Slight variation in oper-
ations as compared with January.
The feeling, however, is general
that the present rate of activity
must before long be accelerated in
order to meet consumption require
ments. Activity in the petroleum
industry during February was con-
siderably below that OF year ago,
but was on par with that of
January. 1881.
Building activity in Los Angeles
during February was maintained at
approximately the levels that pre-
vailed during January 1881. and
February, 1880. A favorable factor
in the general real estate situa-
ton has been the declining tend
ency IN vacancies during the past
year. 1t is estimated that 93.5 per
