CITY MAY WIN
VOTING PRIZE

That Ell Centro has a good chance
of winning the better citizenship
cup to be awarded by the state
chamber of commerce is the opin-
ion of W. A. Tondro, president OF
the local organization. The cup
is to be awarded by the statewide
better citizenship committee of the
California state chamber to the
California community having the
highest voting percentage checked
against registration in the Novem-
ber election.
Figures from the office of the
county clerk show that El Centro
had 4,343 registered voters in the
recent election and that 3,l93 per-
sons cast ballots on November g.
This is a percentage of 1875, which
is considered we'll above average,
although, Tondro states, the vot-
ing percentage checked against
registration was high throughout
the country in this election and,
therefore, Ell Centro may not have
high enough percentage to re-
ceiye the better citizenship cup.
Seventy per cent of voters regis
tered in Imperial county cast their
ballots in the November election,
and, although this is very splen-
did percentage figure, Fl Centro
was 3.5 per cent higher in number
Iof ballots cast compared with reg
istered voters than was the coun-
I ty.
! The state chamber better citizen
ship cup will be awarded as soon
as all communities have reported
their voting percentages and the
local chamber is awaiting with in
j terest the outcome Of this award.

Between the Vaccinations OF

BUTTERFAT GOES UP

DAD news is so prevalent and so many
= seem to look for it, expect it and want
1t, that good news has trouble being
brought to light
There is bit of good news for I'M
perial Valley which has not been CIV
en- any great amount of publicity but it
certainly is deserving of it. A dairy.
man called it to our attention today and
we are glad to comment on it.
We refer to the price of butterfat,
which has shown an encouraging ad-
vance since election Some 10 days ago
Imperial Valley dairymen were getting
19 cents a pound. Today the price is
24Iz cents, there having been two prev
ious advances of one and one and one
half cents, while yesterday the advance
took a big jump of three cents.
This is indeed good news to the dairy
man and it should also be good news to
the entire valley, which depends to no
small extent for its prosperity on the
prosperity of the dairyman.
Putting it into items of dollars and
cents, the advance means that dairymen
of the valley will receive approximately
$500 more per day for their products.
This means 5000 more a day that will
be spent in Imperial Valley. 1t is not
a small item now or at any other time.
The merchant, the professional man, and
other industries will share in that 5000.
1t is not only the advance of five cents
that counts, but the psychological effect
the advance has on the dairyman and
through him on those in other lines of
endeavor. The encouragement to con-
tinue which they derive from the ad-
vance, is something that cannot be valued
in terms of dollars and cents.
-O-
Something to be thankful for: that the
national deficit isn't ours personally.
If all the energy being used to get
beer could be used to provide jobs, we
would be heading some place.
1t may have been a very brave Bull
dog that came up from the border last
night but he went home with his tail
between his legs.
Judging from the start, it will be
many day before insult is finally back
in America.
