TASTE.TEST PROVES SUPERIORITY OF
 ROASTING METHOD
Hills Bros. Coffee, Roasted Differently, Has Flavor No
 Other Coffee Has

To drink Hills Bros. Coffee, after you have been drinking other brands, is certainly revelation. It has marvelously rich, satisfying flavor that no other coffee has.
 This delicious difference is due to the way Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted. Instead of roasting in bulk, as others do, Hills Bros. use a process they invented and pat ented. It's called Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow :. little at time ;. so the delightful, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by this patented process that roasts evenly, continuously :. c little at time. Temperature and flow of coffee through the roasters are al- ways under control. (Hence the name "Controlled Roasting."O A uniform roast, such as no bulk method equals, is absolutely as- sured. A perfect, unvarying flavor results in every pound.
 This delicious coffee comes to you in vacuum cans. Air, which makes coffee go stale, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, lair tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee can't go stale Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

From the standpoint of commun-
ity project effort, none bears quite
as great significance as the i'm
provement of youth. The quality
and calibre of its youth is the in
dex of the future of any race
Prominently among the movements
for rural youth improvement stands
All Agricultural Extension Work
1t deals chiefly in the idea of pro-
Viding boys and girls with practical
training in improved methods of
agriculture, home-making and per-
sonal development, by means of the
project method.
The idea is not new in Imperial
county. Certainly, All club work
has been carried on here for many
years. Some splendid work has
been done by Miss Florence Glenn,
home demonstration agent, in nu-
merous home making projects, and
by D. E. Creighton in the agricul-
tural club work, notably, pig rails
ing, poultry keeping, Bookkeeping,
dairy calf raising, rabbit raising,
crops, etc.
The All club idea has splendid
support in Frank G.. Beyschlag,
farm advisor, George Winright, as
Sistant farm advisor, as we'll rs
many of the leading citizens, and
may it truthfully be said 1t is the
special hobby of the writer. It
has been my good fortune to have
had four years of project work my
self as club boy, followed by two
years of services rs local leader,
and four subsequent years of close
contact with All activity. 1t af-
forded a great deal of pleasure to
be assigned the opportunity of help
ing to reorganize and expand All
work in this county for the COM
ing year 1t is hoped that by prop
er effort the movement may this
year be extended to an even greater
scope than has heretofore existed.
For the benefit of those who may
not have clear understanding f
the place, purpose, and scope of
All, few bits of explanatory mat
ter may prove helpful. I quote
from the fly leaf of the official All
Project Record Book:
What All Club Work Is
Boys and girls All club work
is a part of the national agricul-
tural extension system of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
and the University of California. It
is voluntary activity for rural boys
and girls between the ages of 10
ana 81. Each club Is guided by
one or more adult volunteer leaders
Through club work, farm boys and
girls are developed into better rural
citizenship. 1t teaches agricultural
and home practices, as we'll as the
, more significant things of life. I.
builds men and women
The All club work stands for the
| four-fold development of head
heart, hand and health.
The National All club pledge is:
II pledge my head to clearer think
ing; my heart to greater loyalty;
my hands to larger service. and
my club, my community and my
country
The All motto: ITO make the
best better"
The foregoing probably sets forth

Somehow or other the letter

Meadows had printed state tTaf-

though his ct" was perfectly legi.

PURPOSE OF All CLUB WORK
EXPLAINED BY LANDERMAN

rs simply as possible. the aim and
purpose of All club work. However,
it may not be amiss to point out
the significance laid upon t is
work by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Uni
versity of California. I repeat that
every state in the union, and every
territory of United States has its
definitely organized All extension
program. In 1881 there were 756,-
096 boys and girls enlisted under
the All Flag in America. In Cal
ifornia alone. more than 1900 we're
enrolled during the past year.
Thus may it be seen that the
great motherly arm of the nations
best knowledge and leadership
reaches out its benefits to every
nook and ighborhood of the land
The best brains of our nation are
coming increasingly to realize the
immeasurable good done through
this fundamental work. knowing
that: "As the twig is bent so doth
the tree incline"

EARLY MAILING
CAMPAIGN URGED
BY POSTMASTER

FL CentranS have an opportunity
to play Santa Claus to every postal
employee and at the same time
assure themselves that their Christ
mas mail will be delivered safely if
they shop early, mail early and
follow directions for package wrap
ping, according to G. C. jenkins,
local postmaster.
During the weeks just prior to
Christmas the burden placed on
postal employees is enormous. but
If patrons heed the admonition to
mail early, they will give the de-
partment a Christmas present of a
substantial cash saving and per-
NIT postal employees to spend
Christmas eve in their homes, said
the postmaster.
The advantage to mail Christmas

siders no one but himself. Postof-
fices throughout the country will
suspend work promptly at midnight

cember 25, according to a recent
ruling of the department There
fore, it behooves the sender to get

Christmas eve.
ONLY special delivery mail will be
delivered on Christmas day and late
mailers should avail themselves of
this opportunity of getting mail de-
livered promptly.
"The cooperation of the public
is most desirable at this time,' said
Jenkins today. land prompt and ef-
ficient service will be our aim this
year as usual. We will be able to
do our work so much better if the

CHAMBER URGES
BARLEY RAISING
FOR EXPECTATION

Directors of the El Centro Chant
ber of Commerce have interested
themselves in the production In I'M
perial Valley of barley suitable for
export trade. This barley is used
for mating and commands a high
price, considerably higher than that
of barley used locally for feed
Much assistance has been rendered
the local chamber staff by C. F
Reynolds, manager of the traffic anc
foreign trade department Of the Sar
Diego Chamber of Commerce, ac-
cording to Manager Hays of the E.
Centro chamber.
-Four samples of Imperial Valley
barley were sent from Imperial Val
ley to England some months ago
including Marriott. Smyrna. Hero
and Common varieties and chemists
abroad stated that local Marriott had
chances of qualifying for the pur-
pose. The real difficulty, according
to Hays, is that Imperial Valley
barley seem to contain too much nj
trogen, probably caused by dry cli-
matte conditions. The nitrogen con-
tent of mailing barley must not be
more thar 10, according to a state
ment made by E. w. Whitlock, Of
the Washington office of the U. s.
department of agriculture, who say,
that high premium mailing barley
needsf rom IL to 1.6 nitrogen. Ap-
parently variety does not seem to
make much difference, although At
las and Coast sre The principal bar
leyS exported, the latter being con-
sidered the best. Hays states that
Imperial Valley is planting a large
amount of Atlas barley this year
and in the spring samples of the
same will be obtained and tests
made to determine the nitrogen con-
tent.
Reynolds advises Hays that his
experts believe the high nitrogen
content Of Imperial Valley barley
seems to be due to climatic condi-
tions here, which causes the barley
to mature harder instead Of soft
and mellow.
