WARD STORE
SHOWS NEWER
FALL STYLES

In planning the fall wardrobe, the
clever woman first selects her coat,
then her dresses and accessories to
to harmonize with that coat so that
she always appears well dressed.
Montgomery Ward, in their fall op-
ening display, have collection of
smart tweed coats, distinctly au-
tumn in appearance. Those new,
rough, almost like the bark on
tree crepes, monotoneS, and all the
new fall materials are represented.
Jaunty, well-cut sport styles, tail
ored with that distinction usual
saved for mems apparel and not al
ways obtainable in women's clothes,
these coats are perfect for fall and
winter.
After selecting her coat, the wise
woman then considers her frocks,
and Wards offers her a fine selec-
ton in Woolen and silk crepe gar.
ments The woolen frocks are nice
" tailored and have a brisk, gay
style about them. In the SilMgroup
will be found daytime dresses and
those more elegant gowns for af
ternoon, trimmed with taffeta, vel
vet or metal cloth. Blacks and
browns and all the glowing autumn
colors are obtainable.
Next come the hats, hosiery and
shoes. Tiny turbans, tricorns, and
brimmed hats with smart feather
trimming, wells, all the pets of the
fall mode, are here to make that
fall outfit complete.
Good looking shoes, ties, pumps,
in the proper shades for the coat
and dress, pure silk hosiery, to har
monize with gown and shoes make
the outfit finished and its wearer
well dressed.
And last, but far from least, are
the bargains in pure silk, bias cut
slips, which make the gown fit more
perfectly.

WEST WRITES
Of SINCLAIR

John A West, former valley
rancher who has been campaign
ing here the past week in behalf
of Governor Merriam, has sent the
following letter to The Press:
October 16, 1884
Mr.. Sinclair is bringing them
in from AT states distributing five
million strong here and there for
what? He's made promises galore
which he can never fulfill nor 40
other man. He has never done but
one thing and that WELD a poison
pen. He is not a constructioniSt
but Is a destructionist. never fol-
lowed a plow nor a hoe, never
turned a lathe, SO what?
He is close to the end Of his
trail Take his last picture in the
Liberty Magaz.ne-it shows the
character of the man.
His round trip to Washington to
explain his EPIC plan, in the con-
ference, his return to the Great
McCado. Well, he S made his last
stand.
We all thank God that there is
enough red blooded Americans left
TO run our country and when we
issue the call to arms in this coun-
try the pioneers know what it
means.
We are leaving for San Diego
county to assist and help keep
Merriam governor and Radicalism
out of the state.
Imperial Valley, above all should
not give Sinclair single vote, for
last year when your strike was on
Sinclair spoke over the radio and
censored the farmers for defend
ing their rights. He backed up
Wirin in all his actions, SO there
fore how can any leading citizens,
and especially piooneers, support
such a mistake as Sinclair.
Do you want man in as gov
ernor of your state as he was in
Jail on May Is, 1928 for preach
ing Communism and carrying the
Red flag in San Pedro? No-and
we are not going to have EPSON

Beauty Parioys

Milady, whether in El Centro or
elsewhere, always likes to make a
good appearance and the beauty
shop is recognized as a necessary
adjunct to making well-groomed
appearance.
Ell Centro may justly boast of
beauty parlors comparable with
those of much larger cities, and
offering the latest modes designed
to make beautiful women more
beautiful and these who do not
come in this category much more
presentable than if they neglect
their appearance.
All Of the beauty parlors are

DEALER SAYS
MAYTAG REAL
MONEY SAVER

American women are the most
progressive Of any nation in adopt
ing modern methods. But they are
thrifty and want what they buy to
be an economy.
F. T. Miner CT Whiting Mead. To-
cal Maytag dealer says: lin many
foreign countries, family washings
are still done the primitive way, on
the bank Of a stream or by hand
methods in the home. In the more
progressive section of these same
countries, however, better, newer
methods are being practiced, and
Maytag washers are distributed in
ever increasing quantities.
In America, the washer has for
many years been the most widely
used household appliance, and
many homes without electricity
have washers equipped with gaso-
line Multi Motors.
"Now that economy in the home
Is fashionable, many women who
never thought Of doing a washing
before are using modern washers.
When the income Of a household is
cut down and 1t is necessary to ef-
feet savings in family expenditures,
it is only human nature that these
reductions and savings be made in
the places where they will least
effect the outward appearance OF
a family. Maybe it is one less
maid. Maybe to do away with q
laundress coming in one or two
days a week. or it might be to save
in the difference between what it
costs to do their washing at home
and what it is now costing to send

borrow their significance from the

Of the most delightful hats this
year is the little tricorne which you
wear well off your forehead for
the most part with the exception
of a slightly plunging line over your
right eve. The most individual thing
about the tricorne of this season is
that it makes use of deeply rolled
side sections, very much like the

There's more of Spain in a beret,

which takes both sides and folds
them upwards, sticking quill pert
