Parsnips should be fresh, bright,
clean, of small or medium size, and
firm. They should not be shriveled,
woody, pithy or discolored. Badly

Brussels sprouts should be fresh and
have hard green heads. Loosely form

Never buy fruit showing decay of any

many other fruits and may be bought

Newcomers in the Chamois Group
BY MARY MARSHALL.

- HAMOIS hats and chamois
scarfs, not to mention chamois
gloves, which never go entirely
~ out of style. They are very
important - among the acces-
sories worn at Southern resorts and
surely among the smart things to wear
everywhere later on. Chamois hats are
practical, as we'll as decidedly attrac-
tive. They will stand all sorts of wear,
can be cleaned easily and unharmed by
frequent packing. They are light in
weight and therefore easy to wear, and
that is an essential to the success of
any fashion nowadays.
With YOUR chamois hat you should,
of course, wear chamois gloves, and if
you can spend little more, by all
means have one of the new chamois
scarfs, stitched at the ends and worn
ascot fashion or tied at one side. You

DINNER WILL
LAUNCH DRIVE
OF BOY SCOUTS
What is a Boy Scout worth?

What is a Boy Scout worth?
The answer may be found in the
work of E. B. DeGroot of Los An
geles, busy businessman, who yet
thinks it worth while to devote
much of his time and energy to
helping the Scout movement.
He will be the leading speaker
at the annual meeting of the I'M
perial- Yuma Scout council which
will be held in Ell Centro Monday
night at $50 in the Ten Thousand
club.
At that time final plans for the
annual campaign for the Boy
Scouts will get underway. Present
business conditions, which have
curtailed nearly every line of en-
deavor, has had its effect also on
the Boy Scouts.
Funds are urgently needed if this
splendid work is to be continued in
Imperial Valley and those business
men who are cooperating in the
Scout movement are earnestly hop
ing that all will do their part.
According to Harold Lounsbury,
executive secretary there are more
Scouts in the valley now than there
have been for two years and ex-
penses are correspondingly as large,
though the budget has been slashed
to the lowest possible minimum.
With proper activities for boys
necessarily limited in Imperial VAL
ley, it is pointed out that the Scout
movement is, perhaps, more essen
tial here than in other parts of the
country.
Scouting directs the natural ener-
gy of boys into proper channels,
providing them with the excitement
and interest which all boys need,
and which, unless it is properly
directed. may lead them to grief.
The alarmingly young age of the
modern criminal element, is one of
the best arguments, according to
educators and national leaders in
every line, why the Boy Scouts
should have the full support of ev-
cry good citizen.

NEW SUPPLY OF
PALO VERDES IS
AVAILABLE NOW

With a new supply of palo verde
trees for use in the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce tree plant
ing campaign now on hand, Mrs.
j. S. Jones, chairman of the cham
ber tree planting committee, states
that she can supply the demands
of residents of Ell Centro for addi-
tional palo verde trees for plant
ing in the parkways of the residen-
tial streets of the city. Mrs. Jones
has already disposed of several
hundred palo verde trees for beau
tification of the streets of the city
and she states that those who have
not already planted trees should
take advantage of the present
weather conditions to do SO.
Reports from B. M. GruWell, city
superintendent of schools, are. to
the effect that much interest is
being shown by local grammer
school pupils in the contest being
conducted by the Ell Centre cham
ber for the best essay on the palo
verde tree, its history and source.
This contest is open to every gram
mar school in the city and there
are no rules connected with it ex-
cept that the pupils must not go to
chamber headquarters for their in
formation source. Essays should
be sent to the tree planting COM
mittee Of the Ell Centro chamber,
with the writer's name and ad-
dress clearly written on the manu-
script.
Some of the teachers of the city
are using the palo verde as
theme for the English classes and
in this way are working out very
splendid material on the subject,
but the contest is open to all gram
mar school children and those who
are not writing a palo verde essay
in their school classes may write
essays and submit them
direct to the chamber of commerce.
All essays must be in the hands
of the committee by February 90,
which is the 200th anniversary of
the birth of George Washington,
and it is in commemoration of his
that the nationwide tree
planting campaign is being carried
on, in which Ell Ccntro is partici-
pating by the planting of thousands
of palo verde trees on the streets
of the city.

Feeding Hungry
Most Important

LOS ANGELES, Feb. II. (U.P)-If
George Washington were alive to-
day, he would appreciate the &C
ton of the city of Los Angeles in
honoring his birth, but he would
rather see the city feed its hungry
citizens.
Councilman Roy L. Donley used
this argument in forcing with
drawal of a finance committee re-
port recommending $1,000 be ap-
propriated for the Washington BIZ
centennial celebration this month
What greater tribute could we
pay to George Washington than to
feed our hungry people with money
intended for an empty celebra-
tion?' asked Donley.

The resolution for the appropria-
ton was accused of "flag-Waving"
