ELECTROLUX
ARRIVE: HERE
BY CARLOAD

While gas refrigeration has been
used in Imperial Valley in individ-
ual cases for the past five years,
Warren Currier, sales manager of
the Imperial Valley Hardware COM
pany, said yesterday that this is the
first year there has been a general
demand for this type of refrigerator
and it was to meet this demand
that a carload of Electrolux was or
dered, and arrived here last week.
Half of the carload of refrigera-
tors was delivered Immediately to
Mrs. Marie Land, on an order
placed some weeks ago through F.
C. Rhodes, salesman for the hard
ware firm.
The installation of % Electrolux
gas refrigerators for one purchaser
is believed to be a record in me-
chanical refrigeration in Imperial
Valley according to Currier, whose
company made the installation.
Mrs. Land has just installed this
number of gas refrigeratorS III the
Courtland apartments at 825 Com
mercial street and other rental pro-
perty belonging to her. Mrs. Land
states that her purpose in installing
complete gas refrigeration at the
CORTLAND Apartments is to insure
steady, permanent tenants and says
further that she has found adequate
refrigeration plays greater part in
holding good tenants than any
other one factor in an apartment.
This refrigeration is being fur
niShed at no cost to the tenant,
Mrs. Land stated, 'and before de-
Gliding On one type of refrigerator, ]
made survey in Imperial Valley
and Arizona and came to the con-
clusion that gas refrigeration would
be most practical in this case, as
the cost of operating is moderate
and the Electrolux refrigerators re-
quire little servicing once installed
as there are no moving parts to
wear OUT
According to word just received
from H. G.. Leighton, sales engineer
for the California Electrolux Sales
company, Los Angeles, he states
that the Imperial Valley Hardware
company has made the most pro-
missing start for 1884 sales of Elec-
trolux than any other new dealer
for the gas refrigerator.

Uncle Wiggily, thinking that seeing
j this jolly bird was adventure
enough for one day, started back
home.
Then, all of a sudden, he remem-

do-to bring something from the
store.
But what in the world did she

much. But SO many things begin

Then Uncle Wiggily heard the
Woodpecker still tapping away at
the tree and the rabbit gentleman
hoped back and called up, saying:
What begins with the letter c,

told me to be sure and bring home
something that begins with C. But I

We DON'T NEED THEM
I'VE DON'T WANT THEN

AT the state capital yesterday. con-
vention of the Gannery and Agricultnr-
al Workers union heard pleas for strikes
and still more strikes in California S agr-
cultural industry.
The Cannery and Agricultural Work
ers union is the same outfit that tried 10
pull lettuce strike here in January and
another among the pea pickers In Febru-
airy.
In both unsuccessful strike efforts it
had the support of the American Civil
Liberties union and has continued to have
support from that organization, which
on Saturday postponed good will >
tour to the valley until next Saturday.
The American Civil Liberties union is
not a Communistic organization, its lead
ers declare frequently in print and in
speeches. Yet its record in Imperial
Valley is what We here must Judge it by.
1t has never come to the defense of
some friendless Mexican, Negro, or any
foreigner or any white resident, charged
with a crime and unable to provide him.

been given solely to members of the Can
merry and Agricultural Workers union.
which boasts that it IS Communistic and
doesn't care who knows it.
Neither the American Civil Liberties un-
ion nor the Cannery and Agricultural
union, has one dime invested in Imper-
ial Valley. On the contrary, the former
by spreading absolute falsehoods and
making false charges, has used every
effort at its command TO give Imperial
Valley "black eye before the rest of
the nation. The latter has flatly declar-
ed that it would seek to prevent ship
ment of one carload of cantaloupes this
season unless it could control the labor
situation here. 1t does not hesitate 70
preach that it will destroy if it cannot
rule
Notwithstanding this declaration, can
taloupes are moving and have moved
since the opening Of the season, in nor
NAL quantities. There has been no trou-
BILE between workers and growers or
shippers
There not only is no need for the Can
merry and Agricultural Workers Union
here, but the people of Imperial Valley
don't want it. They don't want any part
of any Communistic outfit and will not
tolerate attempts to force it upon them.
There being no need for the Cannery and
Agricultural Workers union, it naturally
follows that there is no need for the
American Civil Liberties union, for the
latter's sole purpose in Imperial Valley
is to fight the battle of the Cannery and
Agricultural Workers union.
The Cannery and Agricultural Work
ers union right now is outside of Imper-
ial Valley So is the American Civil
Liberties union Imperial Valley is
justified in keeping both organizations

THREE CENT PIECE NEEDED

AT national convention of newspaper
publishers in New York last week the
suggestion was made that the govern
ment be asked to mint a new piece of
money, or rather to bring back an old
coin-the three cent piece
In days gone by the three cent piece
was a popular bit Of coinage. Then we
got too wealthy for it, or perhaps we
didn't like odd numbers or something,
and the three cent piece went into the
discard.
Right now it would come in very
handily. What with sales taxes, gaso-
line taxes and taxes going under every
conceivable sort of name, there is a big
field for the three cent piece
The man-in-the-street ought to be one
of its biggest boosters. Quite often when
the purchase he makes comes to a few
odd cents, a couple of more are tackled
on to it SO as to kill the nickel
One needs flock of cents if there is
any considerable purchasing to be done
and cents can be nuisance. The three
cent piece would remove much of the an
noyance caused by the cents.
The Jump from the cent to the nickel
is little too big for the prevailing con-
ditions.
