IMPROVEMENT in
BUSINESS SHOWN
DURING AUGUST

Business improvement, first not
ed in June and July, swept for
ward on broadened front and at
an accelerated pace in August,
with the lighter industries leading
the advance, according to Frank
Greene's report of business condi-
lions from the Nations Business
magazine received at the Ell Centre
| Chamber of Commerce. While no
white spots were shown on the map
as of September l, it is noted by
the chamber staff that there are
| six fewer black spots on the map
than in the preceding month, and
! that the gray, or fair business
condition area, has increased over
September 1881, when much of the
country was shown as black, or
quiet.
Greene states, 1.-THE surge for
ward of commodity prices alone in
August will make that month men,
orable. This, the third consecu-
tive gain over the usually quiet
summer period, advanced the gen.
eral price level SIS per cent, max
ing, with two previous gains, an
aggregate rise of seven per cent
from the low Of June /. Addition
ally interesting was the rise of II
out of 13 groups of commodities.
Textiles we're leading in number
of gains and showing an increase
of 16 per cent for the group. Nom
ferrous metals rose 10 per cent.
1.-THE strength of the leading tex
tiles seems to have found quick re-
Election in reports of assumptions
of mills or additions to forces al
ready at work. In addition, the
shoe, leather and tobacco trades re-
port activity. The big basic in
dustries, such as iron, steel, coal,
automobiles, lumber and building,
did not move as the lighter indus
tries did, although activity was
predicted for September.
Retail Trade Better
Retail trade, Surfeited with re-
duction sales and retarded by I'M
usually hot weather, reported bet
ter business late in August. Fur
Their improvement in this line seems
to depend upon stepping public
purchasing power up to meet the
unquestionable larger factory out
put apparently impending"
Robert Hays, manager of the
local chamber of commerce, states
that business conditions in Ell Cen
tro seem to reflect those of the
rest of the country. Local mer-
chants report an increase in buy
ing during September but are wait
ing until the late fall months to
determine whether this is per-
manent increase in turn over or a
seasonal Improvement. 1t is stated
that the public is gradually realiz-
ing that the rise in commodity
prices will force the price of retail
merchandise upward and that
many are taking advantage of
present low prices in all lines of
merchandise in anticipation of
higher prices later in the year.

Auto Accident

Injuries suffered by Jeremias
CULLEN and Miguel Garcia in an

half miles west of Holtville on the
Yuma highway yesterday after
noon caused a 1880 damage suit
in superior court against Dave
Leest and the Dave Leest Truck

ing it considerably.

injuries and S1OO for medical at
tention. Garcia asks $3.50 for in

LOCAL BREEDERS
JOIN HOLSTEIN
PUREBRED GROUP

w. A. and Marie F. Scheniman,
Ell Centre, are among 90 new breed
ers of purebred Holstein- Friesian
cattle to be recommended for mem
bership in The Holstein- Friesian
Association of America during Aug
ust, 1892.
At the next meeting of the board
of directors their names will be
added to the membership roll of
over $4,000 This is five times tho
total membership of the other four
dairy breeds combined.
Membership in the Holstein-
Friesian association entities breed
ers of purebred black and white
cattle to register or transfer their
animals at half the rates neces-
sary in spite of the fact that the
charges for registry and transfer
are generally lower than those of
any other dairy breed. The rec
ords of registration and transfer
of ownership are an aid to the
guaranty of the animals recorded
and help the owner or purchaser
to build up his herd along lines
of proven breeding. This has re-
suited in the rapid expansion of
the Holstein breed from a total re-
gistration of 100000 head in 1921
TO 2,l50,0O0 head now.

CHAMBER AIDS
IN ADOPTION OF
MILK SCHEDULE

At a meeting held yesterday at
chamber of commerce headquar-
tiers, Ell Centre dairymen, in con-
ference with chamber of commerce
staff members, agreed unanimous
ly upon a uniform schedule of milk
and cream prices, to go into effect
October l. No significant price
changes were made, but methods
of collecting accounts and delivery
OF milk were standardized. The OBJ
ject of the conference was to ar
range this sterilization, and to as
sure the continued maintenance of
Ell Centro's present high standard
OF milk and cream
In commenting upon the highly
beneficial results of the meeting,
Robert Hays, manager of the cham
Der of commerce, stated: "Dairying
is one of Imperial Valleys great
est industries, and one in which
every man, woman and child is
deeply concerned. The success of
the dairyman here means the
prosperity of the whole communi-
ty Also. the quality and purity
of the milk and cream which comes
to our tables at home interests us
greatly. Ell Centric has attained an
enviable record for the excellence
of its milk supply, as evidenced by
numerout state tests. Let those who
spent the summer in other locali-
ties compare the milk delivered to
them on the coast with the fine,
pure, rich milk which they receive
daily from the diaries of Ell Gen.
tro. They will admit the great sup
eriority of our own local dairy pro-
ducts. We want to see maintained
here that high standard of quail
ty in our domestic milk and cream
supply"
Continuing Hays said: Gall over
the country there have been, in
recent months, ruinous milk wars.
Milk has sold as low as one cent
a quart. OF course high quality and
purity could not be maintained I'M
der such conditions.
Low milk prices are essential III
times like the present, but one
cent milk is far from a blessing to
community. 1t means only that
there is disastrous war in pro-
gress, which benefits no one, and
means ruination to the dairy farm
Imperial Valley press., 1932-09-29

soil provides them with good build
ing material; abundance of water
without rain or fog keeps them
free from fungus diseases; and the
sun, shining clear and warm from
morning till nigh1, produces in
the melons a high sugar content
and fine flavor and is at least part
ly responsible for their vitamins.
Miss Newman states that par
ticularly at the present time know
ledge of right eating is important.
Cantaloupes, she points out, are
valuable because they are protec-
tive as we'll as delicious and con-
tain high alkaline content and in
dispensable vitamins which seem
to be created in them by the SUM-
light, which is why sunny I'M
perial Valley has been chosen par
ticularly for growing these melons.
The writer states, "The produc-
ers in this valley work hard,
though one would naturally sup
pose that people living in such a
warm climate would get lazy. But
they don't have time to get lazy;
this garden in the desert is an all
the year proposition, requiring con-
slant attention, and especially
during the great spring rush when
10000 carloads of early cantaloupes,
laden with vitamins and food salts,
are speeding away and doing their
best to reach the people of the east
and north, people who are more
or less starved for such life giving
food"
Experiments have proven that
all Imperial Valley grown products
are high in life-giving vitamins.
Desert grown grapefruit juice and
fresh tomato juice may be found
on diets prescribed by physicians
throughout the country. Lettuce
has also taken an important place
in the health promoting diet, and
although cantaloupes have long
been appreciated because of their
delicious flavor, the discovery of
their dietary value by Battle Greek
perhaps the health center of the
United States, will do much to in
crease the demand for Imperial
Valley cantaloupes, In the opinion
of the Ell Centre Chamber of COM
merce.
