Legal Name Of
Fair Is Long

Some misunderstanding has ar
isen at times concerning the exact
designation to be used when refer
ring to the county fair held annu-
ally in Imperial County. Like many
other things in use by mankind
this event has a common as well as
a scientific name.
Referred to ordinarily here as the
Imperial County Mid-Winter fair,
It is named ii legal and ether pro-
fessionaI circles as the Forty-Fifth
District Agricultural Association of
the State Of California In this lat
ter it betrays its intimate connee-
tion With the state in which it is
located and also with these other
similar events held in California
throughout the year.
y rose by any ether name would
smell as sweet, however, and so val
ley residents, leaving the longer and
more technical name for official
purposes will continue to designate
their one, big, annual, county wide
get-together by the short and ia
miliar name of the Imperial County
Mid-Winter fair.

SIERRAS TO SEEK
BUSINESS INCREASE IN 1894

wages maintained wherever prac
teal. necessitating additional en-
ployees.
"A multitude of additional re-
ports to be submitted To govern
mental bureaus.
"A large investment in new
houses at our hydro plants and
other points to take care of addi-
tional employees made necessary by
decrease in working hours per week.
This last item alone will mean an
investment of fifty or sixty thous-
and dollars this year.
In addition to these increases in
our operation and maintenance ex-
pense, the price of practically all
material and equipment used in our
business has substantially increased.
ITO offset this increased cost of
carrying on business most industries
have increased the price of their
product and it would seem only fair
that we should increase our rates
for electric service.
1T is not, however, possible in
my opinion to increase electric rates
at this time due to propaganda
which has established in the minds
of the public the feeling that rates
for electric service should be con-
tinually decreased regardless OF
business conditions or the price of
other commodities.
1T is therefore our job for this

FRIC|DA|RE To
Be AUCTIONED
DURING 6 F AIR

Frigidaire, those popular electric
refrigeratorS for which they are the
valley dealers, will be displayed by
Edgar Bros. Hardware Co, in their
exhibit at the county fair.
The first 1884 refrigerator in the
valley is to be sold to the highest
bidder at the fair and much inter-
est is being shown since this make
IS SO we'll known and has made
such an enyiable record in the years
in which it has been on the mar
ket.
New models, featuring new i'm
proyements yet embodying the OLD
qualities which have made Frigid-
aire so popular. are to be shown in
varying sizes and prices.
One of the features which will
appeal TO the housewife j. regard
to the merits Of Frigidaire is the
yenient shelf arrangement.
Shelves are SO spaced and planned
that there is plenty of room for
tall bottles as we'll as for food which
takes up less space.
Plenty of ice capacity, SO that
there will always be ice available,
convenient freezing trays for des-
serts and vegetables, coupled with
Frigidaire's quick freezing ability
make this refrigerator particular
ly desirable for cool drinks and ices,
ice creams or frozen salads.
In addition to its other conven-
fences, the flat top is made so that
in small kitchens it will afford ad-
ditional space for storage, and the
shelves are placed at a convenient
height obviating undue bending or
stretching to reach the articles on
them.
The man of the house will prob
ably be more interested in the me-
chanical features which have stood
the test of years and have met all
technical requirements, while its
quietness and ease of running make
its presence unobtrusiVe. In addi-
tion, operating costs are low and
the saving resulting in no longer
buying ice and in preventing food
spoilage makes purchase of one of
these refrigerators a real economy.

While there are generally increas-
ing commodity prices at this time
in all parts OF the country. includ-
ing Imperial Valley. F. o. Dolson,
president and general manager
Of the Southern Sierras Power com
pany, last week at the annual meet
ing of officials and employees of
this company and its associated
companies of the Nevada -Califor-

that electric rates have not in
creased even though company taxes
have been heavily increased.
Following are some extracts from
his annual report.
Mining Is Promising
In 1928 more than 100000 of
cur electrical revenues came from
gold and silver mining and in 1882
more than rs per cent of this busi-
ness was closed down and off our
lines. This business is coming back
very fast and within a few months
large part of it should be back on
our lines.
In industrial and agricultural

a somewhat less amount, but all in

Westinghouse
Equipment To
Be Displayed

Westinghouse electrical equip
ment is to be featured at the South
ern Sierras Power Co. display at
the county farm and the newest in
this line will be exhibited for valley
residents.
Local residents may also be in
terested in this connection in the
new Westinghouse Home of Tomor-
row which is about to open in
Mansisald, Ohio.
| This home represents the ideas
CT Westinghouse engineers of fu-
ture trends in home equipment.
! Twenty engineering departments
of the company cooperated in sup
plVing equipment for this home,
and the result is said to be some
what breathtaking.
For example this home has
connected load of 81 kiloWatts with
electrical capacity approximately
80 times that of any home ever
built, of its size If all the switches

also brings a newer conception of
home lighting possibilities-for ex-
ample, about 420 electric lamps are
installed and in the dining room,
colored lighting may be selected to
suit the mood of the hostess or to
blsnd with her costume.
A new trend in air conditioning,
electric laundry and kitchen, each
of which includes equipment Just
passed the research stage and not
yet considered for the market,
communication systems, multiple
"adio installations; Micarata baths;
burglar and night lighting; ultra
violet and infra-red ray inStalla-
tionS; even a garage door which is
opened and closed by the car ra-
dio, these only hint at the electri-
cal ingenuity built into the West
inghouse Home.
Westinghouse engineers intend to
Use it as a research laboratory for
equipment in the development stage
and with it to conduct studies with
newer electric facilities under the
conditions one finds in a real occu-
pied home.
While these inventions and i'm
provements are not on the market,
the Westinghouse equipment avail
able at the present time offers
much in convenience and in labor
saving. Splendid ranges, refrigera-
tors, heaters, cooking utensils,
clocks, hot water heaters, etc, which
are not only highly efficient but
which are also decidedly ornamen-
tai in their clever new styling will
be on display.

practicing every possible economy

any cuts in wages, but we must

we must make every company dol

Strict compliance with the code
governing the operation Of part and

The code requires that all new

manufacturer. or else such stamp
must appear on the container in
which the parts are displayed.
One purpose of the code IS to
protect the public from unscrupu-
lous dealers in parts and replace

ed as genuine, parts Of inferior
quality. Persons buying parts or
requirements for any kind of ma
chinery are urged to make certain

Legion Defeated at .Bertha

The small but enthusiastic aud
fence Of fans who faced the snow
storm and went to the Bertha
school house last Saturday night
were well repaid for their effort
for they saw a basketball game
that kept them on the keen edge
of excitement at all times. The
team sponsored by the Sank Centre
American Legion came to Bertha
to try conclusions with the Bertha
Verndale Independents. The Sank
Centre team made up of former
Sank Centre high school stars, a
clean stalwart and gentlemanly
quint who know the game and
play with the best there is in them.
It was the best team Of basketeers
that has visited Bertha this sea-
son and here is the game: Sank
Centre scored first when Hamilton
connected from the foul line, which
was followed by field goal each
by Iwinski and Hamilton to make
5 points for the quarter. Luther
for Bertha not only tied the count
at one all with his free throw but
followed up with another free throw
giving the lead to his team which
was kept throughout the game, and
then made two field goals so that
the quarter ended 6 to 5. In the
second period Iwinski and OGara
each made a field and with O'Gara's
gift shot brought five points for
Sank Centre, while Smart came
through with three field goals and
a free throw and this with Luth-
er's field goal and free throw, end
ed the first half with a score OF
16 to 10 for the home team. Dur
ing the third quarter Iwinsh came
along with a field goal and then
Dubois went through with three
field goals for Sank Centre while
the Bertha-Verndale team had to
be satisfied with field goal and
free throw by Luther and the per-
iod ended 10 to 10 against the Wis
itors. The last period was the
most exciting and score producing
of the game. For Sank Centre
Iwinski made good on two gift
shots, Dubois two field goals and
O'Gara and Kinsella one field goal
each, while for Bertha Burt came
through for three field goals and
a free throw, and Smart, Rehmann
and Seaver a field goal each and
