Newton, poultry specialist of the

tro.
These meetings are arranged for,
and TO be conducted by the agri-
cultural extension service as part
of the regular educational program.
Newton is well known in the val
ley as he has been here on sev-
eral previous visits. He is perhaps
the best informed poultryman on
the Pacific coast. extension service
men say The nature Of his pos
ition brings him daily into con-
tact with poultry problems over the
entire state, and it is felt that his
visit to Imperial Valley Will be
most timely at this season.

Newlons address on present and
future outlooks for the poultry in
dustry, new aspects of the more
common diseases Of poultry, and
answering of questions.

LOCAL BUILDING
RANKS WELL In
SURVEY OF STATE

Although ranking 40th in size
among the rs Southern California
cities listed monthly in a compara-
tive analysis of building permits,
81 Centre ranked 22nd in the group
IN total of building permits for the
month of August. according to in
formation received at the El Cen-
tro Chamber of Commerce. Most
of the cities ranking ahead of El
Centre were much larger in pop
ulation and included metropolitan
areas as Los Angeles. San Diego
and HOLLYWOOD The only three
cities with populations equal TO or
less than that of FL Centre rank
ing ahead of > this city were Van
Nuys. Manhattan Beach and San
Marino. Fl Centre is listed ahead
of such cities as San Bernardino
ana Bakersfield, which have pop
Ulation three times as great.
These figures, according to the
chamber staff, also show that Ell
Centre ranked 32nd on the list for
the first eight months of the year
1882, again with only eight cities OF
equal or smaller size ahead of il,
and five of these eight were beach
cities which had high building per-
mits during the summer season. As
III Centre was 28th on this list
for the same period in 1881, il IS
pointed out that building permits
are holding up well in this COM
munity and that the period of re-
construction has apparently not in
terfered with the steady growth OF
FL Centre.
The chamber staff states that q
monthly study of this report shows
many of the Southern California
cities of FL Centro's size to be un-
steady in amount Of building per-
mits. One month a city may be
29th in the list, the second month
50th and the following month Goth
and then back up in the lead once
more. FL Centro, on the other hand,
holds to a position in the cities
which rank around goth or 30th
in the list, which would indicate
steady permits for building and re-
pairs rather than a building boom
followed by no building activity.

BRAWLEY TRIO
BOUND OVER TO
SUPERIOR COURT

With bail fixed at $2500 each,
w. F.. Buzbee. Carmon Reeves and
Clifford Cady were held to answer
to charges of burglarizing the r.
l.. Molino store in Brawley early
this month at preliminary hear
ing in Judge H. B. Griffin's court
in Brawley yesterday afternoon.
The three men were accused OF
entering the establishment, loading
cash register and safe upon q
truck and making a quick getaway.
The safe and cash register later
were found in the Brawley vicinity
where they had been opened by
use of a saw.
Loot obtained from the store in
cluded both United States and
Mexican money in small denomi-
nations.
Bakersfield officers arrested the
three men when they discovered a
broken lock and United States and
Mexican money in their possession.
A check of teletype messages
from the Imperial county sheriff's
office led to the belief that the
men were those wanted for the
Brawley burglary.
Buzbee, Reeves and Cady were
brought to the county Jail where
they await trial following the pre-
liminary yesterday.

Buying activity, suggestive of
anything but depression, has been
evident in Ell Centro the last few
days, confirming news from many
sources that the turning point in
the economic cycle has been
reached and passed.
The photograph reproduced above
was taken last Friday morning at
the I. V. Trading Post, 528 Main
street in Ell Centre. 1t shows part
of the crowds which visited the
store that day, when, according to
numerous eye witnesses, the buy
ing demand taxed the utmost sell
ing capacity Of multiplied sales
force.
H. N. McKie, owner of the Trad
ing Post, expressed himself as de-
lighted at the public's response.
1--WE gratefully acknowledge the
help toward the success of this
event which we derived from our
advertising in the Imperial Valley
Press. The great number of people
who visited the store, the wide
spread territory they represented
and the tremendous sales volume
were gratifying features of the sale,
which continues till September "a.
McKie said, the marked change
in market conditions which the
last few weeks have brought,
changes, incidentally, which / pre-
dicted in an interview published in
The Press August 9Th, will react
to the benefit of everyone Dur
ing the depression vast quantities
of merchandise have sold below
production costs, spelling loss rath-
er than gain for almost everyone,
for unemployment has been the CO.
partner of such distress merchan-
disc.
Nov, with merchandise prices
rapidly advancing, factories are re-
opening, unemployment is being
reduced, and the greater buying
power of eastern America will be
quickly felt here through increased
consumption of Imperial Valley
crops. While local people must
soon pay more for the things they
buy, they soon will have more dol
lars with which to buy. I am eX-
tremely optimistic over future pros

WEIGH REMOVAL
REQUEST MADE
BY GRAND JURY

One of the last acts of the 1881
Imperial county grand jury was a
recommendation to the board of
supervisors that the county indig-
ent officer be removed from office
and another appointed to his place,
records of the board of supervisors
showed today.
The report of the grand jury to
the supervisors, although it did not
name Lee WEIGH as the INDECENT
officer, was directed against him.
The report follows:
1T has come to the attention of
the 1881 grand jury through wit
nesses appearing before the grand
jury, and through evidence and
information obtained from other
sources that the duties of INDECENT
officer are being performed in a
most unsatisfactory manner, with
total disregard for an impartial
and fair consideration of the per-
sons who are SO unfortunate as to
need county aid.
After due and careful thought
and investigation, it is the opinion
Of the 1881 grand jury that the
best interests of the citizens of
Imperial county would be served
by the removal of the present in
digent officer and the appointment
by the board of supervisors of an
officer who can and will perform
the duties of this office in an eff
Gent and courteous manner"
The report was signed by Mrs.
N. Alta Wilke, foreman of the re-
Gently discharged grand jury.
Editors Note: This report
was filed late Monday after
noon and was not included in
the general report published in
last nights Press. Through Oy-
ersight in the clerks office it
was not given to the newspa-
pers until late yesterday, nor
did any record of it appear in
the minutes of the supervisors
although they ordered it filed.
