USING TIRES

TRACTORS turn off here the
familiar sign seen at intersections
of main highways, may eventually
become obsolete in the opinion of
Firestone Tire ana Rubber COM
pany, due to the development of
tires for tractors eliminating the
cleat-Style wheels heretofore in al
most general use.
Ranchers visiting the Imperial
county fair will be interested in the
display of tire-equipped tractors
sponsored by Firestone Service
stores, Inc, and Edgar Implement
stores.
The development of low pressure
tires by Firestone has made it pos
sible for Mccormick -Deering null
tiple purpose tractors to be equip
ped with tires.
Numerous advantages are cited
for the tire-equipped tractor over
t he old-style cleat- wheel. Tires
have made possible an "all-pur-
pose" machine, which can be op-
Grated on paved highways and
doesn't injure barn floors. 1t does
not tear up soil in yards, orchards,
meadows, citrus groves or golf
courses and turns can be made
without injury to fields.
Greater ground pressure - 2
pounds per square inch-prevents
packing of seed beds. High speed
is possible and the tractor rolls
easier thereby minimizing power
losses
Saving on gasoline lowers the
operating cost as high as 25 per
cent, depending upon the type of
work being done.
Tires minimize vibration, lessen
depreciation, lower replacement ex-
penses and permit greater comfort
to the operator who can work long
! er and Steadier without fatigue
Tire-equipped tractors do not throw
dirt.
Ranchers and all who use tract
orS are invited to visit the exhibit
/ and see this combination of Fire
stone tires and Mccormick -Deerine
tractors in actual operation.

first can bring agriculture nothing
but distress and disillusionment; the
second is making definite progress
and is on the threshold of its period
of most decisive achievement.
During the last few years we have
seen good many experiments in
relieving the farmer. The most far
reaching have been conducted by
the government. All the resources
of the land have been behind them
and they have, in the long view,
done infinitely less than was hoped.
The benefits they have brought

aided a number of farmers for a
short time, and then have become
more or less imperative. Govern

farm progress when it has sought to
advance the interests of which the
average farmer really feels he is a

The farm disturbances in New

Las Palmas court, situated at the
other end of the city, is particularly
convenient for motorists, being To-
Gated as it is just below the juncturc
of the San Diego and Los Angeles
highways at 1924 Broadway.
The hotel follows the popular ho-
tel court plan which has met with
such growing approval, New, mod

|. |. AND d. COMPANY MAKES
ONE-EIGHTH OF ICE IN STATE

j. E. Collins, general manager of
the Imperial Ice and Development
company made an address at a
recent meeting of prominent Off
cials and other employees of that
company and associated companies
of the Nevada California Electric
Corporation in Riverside. Among
other things. he disclosed that the
Imperial Valley company ice sales
last year were more than one
eighth of all ice sales made in Cal
ifornia for 1888. Following are
some interesting extracts from his
report:
lone of the outstanding events
of last year was the signing of a
code Of fair competition for the ice
industry. 1t may interest you
TO know that this code is consider
ed by NRA officials the best code
submitted by any industry. I was
told by Major Paddock, the admin
istrator for our industry, that it is
used as a model and that over ESQ.,
900 copies of it had been distribut-
ed
II will not discuss it in detail,
but merely give you some of the
more important provisions.
First, as to the organization.
cone of the deputy administra-
tors of NRA was appointed by Gen
eral Johnson as administrator for
our industry.
Directly under him is the code
authority consisting of five men
Imperial Valley press., 1934-03-01

selected by the National Association
of Ice Industries from its member
ship and three others appointed by
the government. This body re-
views complaints and makes its
recommendation to the admins
traitor.
"The country is divided into 10
geo e:raphical divisions with reg
ional advisor in each. These men
interpret the code. review the find
lngs Of the committee of arbitra-
ton and appeal and make their
recommendations to the code au-
| thority. Each unit association has
q committee of arbitration and ap-
peal consisting of seven men repre-
sentative of the industry in that
district. For instance, there is one
in San Francisco and one in Los
Angeles. with a subcommittee in
Phoenix that handle complaints
and make applications of the code
IN their territory.
Price Fixed
1.-The final decision by the ad-
ministrator is enforced either by
the department of justice or the
;ade commission.
"It is provided that prices must
oe published on trucks and plat
forms and schedule filed with the
committee of arbitration and appeal
and code authority. No variation is
permitted except on Is days notice

or decline but delivery is made on
schedule published and in effect at
time of delivery.
1T is also provided that a COM
petitive market cannot be raided
and surplus dumped for short per-
iods of the year.
Another important provision is
that new production or storage ca
pacity can only be installed after
obtaining a certificate of convent
ence and necessity from the admin
iStrator.
1.-The government allowed the
greatest number of hours per week
TO us of any industry. They un-
doubtedly recognized the fact that
we thrive on work. Possibly they
realized that we had to work long
nours in order to make living In
any event they permitted maxi
mum of Sc hours for &c weeks, with
an average maximum of 48 for the
year.
"Our labor expense has been in
creased somewhat but the benefits
to be derived under the code more
than offset it, as many bad prac-
tices which have grown up in the
industry are barred under the code.
''While these meetings are open
season for Dragging, it is not in that
spirit that 1 want to give just one
or two figures in regard to the ice
industry, but merely for your en-
lightenment.
1.-The capital investment in the
zee industry is $1,190,0OOO00. From
this standpoint it ranks ninth in
American industry.

10 P).-The election in West Vir-

personal victory. The campaign was

am deeply gratifled that the people of
my State have given such an impress

So far as West Virginia is con-

he should reappear. He came, hurrying,
which in itself was pleasant sign.
"I'm late" he said, as though it had
been a definite engagement. And by
that time it had become such real
thing to Anne that she said: cit doesn't
for him.
"Its this darned racket I'm in," he
explained my soul isn't my own"
What? Oh, that's right, you fiddle,
don't you?"
He was looking at her, disconcert-
ingly. "Eh? Oh, yes. do"
After a while he said his name was
Paul and she said hers was Anne, and
that seemed to satisfy him-that, and
just being with her.
He always arrived sort of tense and
keyed-up; always, because their meet
ings became a daily affair, now. Her
presence seemed to relax him. Anne
thought: I'm good for him." and con-
vinced herself that relaxing one tense
young man was quite as charitable as
teaching disinterested Bowery youngsters
to make papier-mache flowers, their
daily meetings having interfered consid-
erably with her settlement work.
Once he said: "I never had a real
childhood, Anne" and she believed him.
Another time: when I'm with you I
feel like other people, normal, young.

But you are young, Paul. Why

from sympathetic friends when there
was absolutely no chance of returning it.
One couldn't, apparently, get a job,
either.
Well, one could always walk in the
park, and Anne did. Mr. Brown, her
spaniel and Anne walked and walked.
Sometimes she brought book and let
Mr.. Brown dash about Sometimes she
just sat; and one day when she reached
her own particular bench she found a
young man there. The young man said,
"Oh," and his right hand made a swift
motion toward his hat, as though he
were used to doing the correct thing.
Anne said: That's all right" for no
particular reason and then they smiled
at each other.
After that, they talked quite steadily
for half an hour. His voice was nice;
low and American, but with a peculiar
timber that made it sound as though
it could suddenly whisk off into Italian
or Spanish or something foreign.
Anne noticed a violin case. "A mu-
Sician?" she asked, after he had dis
covered that her spanieps name was MIR.
Brown, and that she came here regu-
larly.
"Er-well, yes" he answered, evasively

Anne looked at him, startled, but he
was gasing ahead with great unconceYn.
And SO she didn't say: IF you're a
violinist, why don't you know Beethoven
and Brahms and Dvorak are composers
and not performers?"
She discovered that he lived in hotel
too, and had just gotten back after
an ocean voyage "for my health" be-
fore he stood up and said he must be
going

But he snapped, What is what?"
Grossly, 50 that she did not pursue it.
But once he said: You are so very
beautiful, little Anne" and her heart
pounded until it was an agony
She was not happy these days, for
Paul was not being frank with her. He
was hiding something; something so i'm
portant to him that it affected his whole
life. Yet something he would motor
could not-talk about.
Why was his time not his own? What
had carried him along on a swift tide
of excitement and then sucked him in,
so that he could not break away? What
Oh so many what's.
And then, suddenly, two things hap
pened in one day, that gave her all the
answers.
In the afternoon, after leaving the
park, she walked to a small shoe re-
pairing place to call for some resoled
slippers. With her newspaper wrapped
bundle she returned home and opened
it up-to find Paul's picture looking up
at her.
In frenzy she looked again. Paul!
Beyond the shadow of a doubt. But

He answered rather vaguely. Some
times-oh, it is just that sometimes one
starts thing, gets swept along by the
excitement of it, and before one knows
it"-he made a helpless gesture-"one
is in too deep ever to get out again."
Anne forgot her resolution not TO ques-
ton him. What is 1t, Paul?"
