FARM BUREAU
SEEKING HELP
FOR RANCHERS

Two proposals to benefit many
Imperial county farmers were sub
mitted by Earl " C. Northrop 20
Region No. l farm bureau confer
ence held Saturday at Ontario.
One asks that the refund of the
processing tax on jute bags be made
applicable to the 1884 harvest sea-
son in California instead of only
to bags purchased subsequent to
June IL last. If finally approved,
1t will mean reimbursing Imperial
Valley farmers more than $4,000
for the tax on bags purchased last
spring for the barley, wheat, and
flax harvest.
The other proposal urges Federal
Credit Administration officials to
take cognizance of drought condi-
tions and the consequent lack OF
agricultural income. 1t asks that
proper consideration be given those
who have received federal loans
and further needed assistance be
extended to enable them to carry
on and meet current taxes. 1t al
so requests that loan regulations
be further liberalized to enable
other hard-pressed farmers to OBJ
tain needed credit.
These two proposals were en-
dorsed by the regicn delegates and
forwarded to the executive officers
of the California Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton to be urged upon the prop
er government officials for early
action.
Imperial county was represent
ed at the regional conference by
Earl v. c. Northrop, state delegate,
and C. o. Hoober, county presi-
dent.

Coli Shorts Are
Now Accepted

Men are beginning in earnest
to take up shorts for golf.
You'll see them on fairwayS all
around the town and about.
They're so much cooler than
Stacks that it's a wonder they
haven't been accepted before.
There's no binding at the
knees with shorts. They permit
of much freer action, let you
have an easier swing, and are
more comfortable in every way.
It stands to, reason that they
weigh much less than longer
trousers, and so are just that
much less for q man to carry
around.
Good golfers who are wearing
them say that they wouldn't
change back for anything.
There's no comparison in COM
fort, and they even believe their
game is somewhat improved.
Shorts for golf can DO bought
around town in corduroy at
1895 and in duck at $1.49...
not enough to break any man.
Corduroy, by the way seems to
be o coming fabric in the sports
world. just another one Of
those things that we grown-upS
have taken from our children.

White Tux

If you've admired a young
man lighting a cigarette for a
beautiful girl on the back of
several current magazines (the
girl has on a white dress with
black and red wrap, and you've
longed for such an evening out
fit . 1T can be yours for little
cost.
A local store is selling the
white Palm Beach tuxedo, with
roll collar and the black trousers
for only $40. Furthermore au'
thorities say you can wear soft
shirt with it and be comfortable.
You must supply your own
shirt, tie, shoes and red carna-
ton.
For the name of the store
showing the above articles, call
Beau McAllister at District 1000,
or write, inclOSing self-addreSsed
stamped envelope.

Comfortable Beach
Toys

Other items that look good
and evidently are, from the way
men are going for them, are
separate shorts and shirts for
beach wear. The shorts are
sometimes used alone, for sun
ming, and the shirts are pulled
on over your bathing suit with
a pair of Stacks.
Sport shirts may be the polo
type, or short,sleeVed with talon
fastener up the front. Navy is
the popular color, often worn
with white Stacks. Some very
good ones are priced $3.50 down
town, and for my part, I want
terry cloth shorts to go with
them. The shorts I saw came
in white, yellow or blue, were
well cut Just like trousers are
around the waist, and were
$3.50. Terry cloth is so soft and
comfortable on, and is grand
and absorbent If you want to
put the shorts on over your
bathing suit.
Some people prefer gabardlne
shorts. They usually come in
white, tan or blue, and have
stripes down the sides. A fair
price for them is $2.95. Some
men swim in them, using an odd
swimming jersey, which can be
picked up at most any price,
and in any good color or style.
Beach Stacks
But the prize, so far as my
shopping trip goes, is a pair Of
beach Stacks Of q soft ribbed
fabric. They're very Swanky
looking, cut plenty full enough
and the material Is loosely
woven so that they're really cool.
They are ideal to put on over
your swim suit for fishing OF
beach wear, and If you're going
to q resort, you can wear them
nearly all the time for beach
lounging, and general sports
wear. They are IS, by the way.
Most of these articles are
made by the makers Of well
known shirts, so you can count
on them for good material, good
cut and workmanship. While
I'm on the subject I might as
well tell you about the rest Il
their things. or those I hap
pen to b fortunate enough 70

New Ideas In
Underwear

OF course there are thousands,
nay millions, of men who will
not look one-piece underwear in
the face. But it has its points.

case you're interested, or willing
to try, those same old shirt max
ers make some summer styles Of

only 81, or $1.25 for extra sizes

cause there's no double fabric

are some good ones, either tied
on the side or with elastic in
the sides, for Use, and under
shirts either Swiss rib, which I
consider the softest and most
absorbent. or flat knit. .. also

No greater revolution is there
in any country, in any world,
than that which has taken
place in mems sports clothes.
People are used to poking fun
at the ridiculous bathing suits
women wore many years ago,
and they forgot that at the
same time, men looked just as
funny.
A bathing suit thirty or forty
years ago consisted of a "jer-
sey," or shirt shaped like a
sweat shirt, and closely knit
ted Of heavy wool. This was
worn with "long drawers" OF
the same type wool, though one
piece or the other might be
gaily striped the devils!
This New Freedom
Contrast this old-time picture
with the suits men wear today.
They're comfortable, allow for
free ming, sometimes
they're next to nothing. On the
European beaches men wear
trunks without tops all the
time, and they're fast coming
to it here.
Any suit is cut low enough
in the back for an ample sun
tan. Every suit is brief enough
to allow a man to swim in COM
fort. They are light in weight,
good looking in the dark colors
contrasted with white, or with
stripes. And they're individual.
For there is such variety to
choose from this year that no
man need look like his neigh
Dor.
But to get back to the shop
ping tours that men are max
ing these days. for men al
ways wait until they need q
bathing suit or a new batch
of shirts before they ever think
of going shopping.
Here are a few Of the items
that are popular about town,
have been bought by some very
well dressed men, and so should
be seen on smart beaches and
at the better resorts.
New Celanese Suit
Celanese. a fabric little
known to men except as lining
for suits, has now been made
into a bathing suit. That's
bigger news than it sounds
Just on the face Of it, for
celanese is one of the synthetic
fabrics that have been devel-
oped in recent years, and has
many good properties.
Not the least of the advan-
tages of celanese is that 1t
dries quickly It's obvious then
that it must make a fine swim
suit. It has a nice feel on too,
and goes through the water
like an eel. I'm told that men
who swim a great deal are find
ing these suits excellent.
These suits Zone is pictured
on this page, If the makeup
man is good to uS) are two
piece, with the trunks in navy
or white, priced $4.95, and jer-
seys in white or pastels, $3.50.
You see they cost as much as
wool, and are in no way a sub
Stitute. they are something
Just as good and better for some
purposes.

Of braceS-yearS ago-were just
another pair Of braces. Consider
the workings of this mild revo-
luton. I spotted, and I won't
tell you WHEREOF on whom
the lighteSt and narroweSt
braces I have ever seen. They
were in a two-color stripe of
elastic webbing, and each strap
ended at the waistline in a
strong metal clasp. This clasp
appears to have an advantage
because it enables you to hitch
your trousers to your braces
without reference to where
your trousers-maker put the
buttons. In fact you can for.
get the buttons entirely.

A major portion of trading was
again centered in the utilities, which

wide range and kept the market in an
unsettled state for more than a week.
