 He believed that the Territory was not receiving full returns for moneys being expended for schools and that a rule should be establish ed that all materials entering into schoolhouse construction should be purchased in the Territory in so far as it was capable of supplying them.
 In addition to MT. Holman on the platform was P. c. McMullen, chairman of the Seward Democrat ic committee.
 Contrasting with the reception accorded Judge WickerSham when he spoke in the Liberty theatre re- gently, Senator Dimond was given a warm reception of applause and many of his remarks were ap- plauded vigorously.

To ENLARGE:
PLANES SIZE

Twelve passenger planes are to
be substituted by American Air
ways for the present eight passen-
ger equipment on its night line
through here within week or two,
according to Chas M. Sproule, To-
cal traffic representative of the
company.
Winter traffic has been so heavy
that frequently it has been neces-
sary to turn down requests for res
ervations on the night schedule,
and the change is to be made very
shortly to add Accommodations for
four passengers without increasing
the flying expense of the line"
Sproule said. Our business has in
creased steadily since the first OF
the year and the original eight
passenger trimotors are inadequate.
Several of the II passenger
planes have been received in Dali

shops at st. Louis, and are now

KEEP UP THE SUPPORT

INDICATIONS are that this is going to
l be anything but mild winter, from
a weather standpoint, and even the ordi-
nary winter here can be mighty dis
agreeable for those who are shy on food,
clothing and shelter
We have sold ourselves so thoroughly
,On "Sunny Southern California" that we
discount the fact that there can be harsh
weather here. True it is not the long
drawn out and intensely severe winter
of the Atlantic states or the midwest,
but while it lasts it can be tough enough
on the needy.
All of which is sort of preamble to
another plea for support of relief work
right here.
There are plenty of families residing
right in Ell Centro-permanent residents
too-who are feeling the clutch of the
economic situation. They are quite evil
dent to those who care to look for them.
There are undernourished and scantily
clad youngsters, for whom such days as
today mean bitter suffering.
The relief organizations are doing ev-
erything possible to relieve such cases
as rapidly as they become known to
them, and to take care of all they must
continue to have the whole-hearted sup
port of the entire community.
A splendid response has been made to
the appeals for assistance, but it must
be kept up. No tagging can be permit
ted.
The Central Relief board, which is di-
recting the relief work in this city, is
now we'll organized and functioning in
a highly efficient manner and under its
direction the Red Cross, Salvation Army
and other organizations are doing the
actual work of relief
If there are any who have not con-
tributed to the relief work, or who are
in doubt as to just who should receive
any donations they may wish to make,
they are urged to. send their checks or
cash to the relief board.
All who have resided in this city for
any length of time know the personnel
of the relief board and they can assure
any newcomers that the board men,
bers are 100 per cent all right. Every
cent received will be expended wisely
and for local relief where it is needed.
-O
A fine mess the Democrats have made
of it. Not really on the job yet and they
have plumb ruined California weather.
-O

snow; you slip on piece and away you

for him to force wet snow down the

more than a Draw Scotch joke. Who

snow where it is not supposed to fall
Sir Harry must have heard of the asper-

him as we'll as his delightful Scot songs
and his Scot jokes.

and how they stick together!
