WHAT TO DO WITH HOUSE Is
PROBLEM FOR NEW SOLOMON

Deputy sheriffs, city police and
officials of the city engineering
department are in somewhat of a
quandary this morning over a sit
uation which developed yesterday
and are seeking a solution to the
difficulty which threatens to as
sumo rather uncertain proportions
1t all has to do with a house
the which at present is standing in
the center of north Sixth street,
just inside the city limits.
Here's the how come, as re-
vealed from records in the offices
of the aforementioned officials.
Some time ago G. E. Palmer
purchased two lots on north Sixth
street, outside the city limits from
local real estate broker. He still
owes about 5000 on these lots but
erected a small house on one OF
them. Last Saturday morning he
appeared at the city engineers Of
flee and took out permit to move
the house from its present loca-
ton to a site on north Eighth
street, via the following route:
south on Sixth to the first inter-
secting street then over to Eighth
and north on Eighth to the city
limits again.
Yesterday morning at 2 o'clock
Palmer commenced moving opera
tions. The real estate broker get
ting wind of the affair, appealed
to the sheriff to halt matters,
However by that time the house
had crossed the line and the matter
was under the jurisdiction of the
city police department. Local Of
ficers appeared on the scene and
Palmer was arrested.
However, as the original site was
outside the city limits and there
fore outside local jurisdiction,
Palmer was turned over to the
county to await filing of a COM
plant by the original owner of the
property which action is expected
today.
In the meantime the house is
still awaiting further moving and
it is the opinion of the city engine
ering department that something
must be done with the house as

Schn1itt Certain
Business Is Good

Business is good, is the declar-
alton Of Pete Schmitt, owner of
Schmitt Electric company, Valley
distributors for the Servel refri-
gerator and Kelvinator refrigera-
tor.
Schmitt is confident this will be
a good year for refrigeration, for
having the distribution of two lines
of refrigerators enables him TO take
care of any commercial refrigera-
ton, beer cooling, household boxes,
etc.
The Servel and Kelvinator have
been proven in the valley, he de-
clares, and will work satisfactorily
under the most extreme heat con-
ditions.
Prospective buyers are invited to
visit the salesroom at 1125 Main
street, to inspect the various mod
els of both refrigerators now placed
on the sales floor for exhibition.

Vionnet no doubt read all she
could about the espionage of Bail
lie-Stewart in London and then her
mind expanded and she designed
a spy cape which is rapidly be-
coming the most exciting evening

spy cape is black crepe roma on
one side and flame red on the
other, cut on the bias with yards
of material. If you feel a little
qualmish after the party, your iden-
tification will be doubtful if swath-
ed in the spy-cape disguise. You'll
find night-dump lurking compare

ing style, and one might add that
the only necessary accessory with

Irrigation Of
Citrus Needed

IrrigatioE; oi citrus trees must
not be neglected during the bloom
ing period if the soil becomes too
dry, according to Frank Beyschlag,
farm advisor in Imperial county for
the University of California If the
soil approaches the willing point at
this time, fruit drop will be likely
follow heavy application of wa
ter. What happens is: the stem
tissues may lay down an abscission
layer and the fruit then drops af-
ter the water is applied.
The grower should at all times
know his soil moisture condition
and irrigate accordingly. When ir-
rigation is necessary in the spring,
din't apply a heavy application OF
water. 1t is always better to irrigate
with quick application or by US
ing only few burrows.
