WASH DRESSES
RECE BY
WARD STORE

O. II. Holman, manager of Mont
gomery Ward and company reports
that seven cases of new wash cot
tons arrived at the store today.
We believe this big shipment of
dresses enables us to offer the wo-
men of Imperial Valley one of the
finest values in the history of our
store" Holman declared
I'VE have many, many new inter
esting styles and all are exception
all well made and reasonably priced.
1t was only through the large pur
chases made by our company that
We were able to secure such fine
quality frocks at such amazingly
reasonable prices" Holman contin-
ued. Every dress has that distinct
i've touch in styling that is so hard
to find in wash frockS, which come
in a poor range of styles and sizes
many places. We have sizes to fit
anyone" he declared.
For cool comfort and general
home and street wear" Holman
stated, nothing is better for I'm
perial Valley women than a good
looking wash cotton. They're easy
to launder, hold their color stead
fastly, and always look fresh and
cool. For that reason We felt con-
fident that valley women would

Special Session
Felt Essential

LOS ANGELES, May 8. U.P)-
County officials, despairing of rails
ing the millions necessary to meet
the heavy welfare load for next
year, today advocated special ses-
sion Of the state legislature to pro-
vide means of meeting county bud
gets.
IAN increase in the county tax
rate is not feasible,' - County Aud
itor Herbert A. Payne declared. "In
my opinion, special session of the
legislature is inevitable
Expenses of county welfare this
year will reach S24,000,000, with an
additional $6,000,000 necessary for
free institutions such as the coun-
ty hospital. The county's share OF
the S20,000,000 state bond issue, the
last of which will be sold June l
made possible the financing of the
huge charity burden, Payne said.

BEST FOODS
FEATURED AT
LOCAL STORES

Haven't you noticed the hustle
and excitement among the grocers
of El Centre this week? And how
different the stores look. From
the tempting displays of fruits and
vegetables and salad ingredients a
person might wonder whether it
wasn't Christmas week again. But
when you see the spots of bright
eolors, the tiTings of pIlnants.
and the rushing about it might be
that the grocers are preparing for
the Fourth of July ahead of time.
Actually, all these preparations are
in honor of Best Foods Salad week.
Salad week represents a cooper
ative effort between the Best Foods.
Inc. and the grocers Of Ell Centre
to call special attention to the
wonderful fruits and vegetables
now coming on the market at low
prices. More than this, however,
is their desire to emphasize the
fact that families that eat plenty
of salads are happy, healthy fam
lilies.

and all Best Foods Products. What

One grocer that we interviewed

cooperation with Best Foods in
this Salad week said, 1--WE are most
happy to support this company. 1t
probably has done as much, if not
more, to call attention to the fruits
and vegetables of Southern Cali
fornia, than any company 1 know
of. Further, The Best Foods, Inc.

one of the largest users Of products
produced in the state, For in

information of the awards, DR.. Nj

URGES CITY GOVERNMENT SHOULD
BE PLACED ON BUSINESS BASIS

partment to give Ell Centro such a
name or reputation by an ironclad
answering policy against such
warning tickets which are incurred
often because the driver just didn't
notice where he was parking, how
fast he was driving, or had COM
mitted some trivial offense against
the traffic laws of the city.
During the business session of the
meeting the council agreed to turn
all athletic activities in the East
Side park over to a committee from
the knights of Pythias and also
agreed that the city should pay for
electrical current for night base
ball games played in that park.
Grocers Protest
A protest was received from city
grocers relative to the activities of
out-of- town grocery concerns which
are soliciting orders from residents
in the city without peddling Ii
cense. The protest pointed out that
the city merchants under such con-
ditions are handicapped in this mat
ter by the fact that they must pay
taxes to the city as we'll as a license
to operate here while the outside
competitors are concerned only with
the county taxes. The board after
a discussion of the matter author
lied the police department to en-
force the local ordinance regarding
peddling to protect the city mer-
chants.
The appointment of j. O. Maxwell
as city assessor was approved by the
council. A permit was granted G. E.
Dorman for cantaloupe transfer
terminal to be located on the north
west corner of Fourth and Olive
streets for a term of three months
starting on the fifteenth of this
month.
The minutes of the city planning
and coming commission were read
and ordered filed by the board
which also adopted a resolution that
the city attorney and engineer be
instructed to draw up an ordinance
according to less stringent rules
than those at present in the city
building code.
