It had heen expected a dramatic program would be offered with Miss Leoha Davis in charge, but inability ol several persons who were to par ticipate, to be on hand that night caused postponement of this at- fair. It is expected it will be given at a later date. Mrs Megin has ar ranged tonight's program.
 Much of the work of improving curbs, gutters and sidewalks on Grove street has been completeu' Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley reported today It Will be recalled the borough street de- partment was authorized to go ahead with this wor kby the board of warden and burgesses on the property of residents of Grove street who would be willing to pay for the work on the sidewalks.
 A good many of the residents of this section which badly needed the repairs, were willing to pay their share, but there arc still some who have not yet expressed this willingness and work on thelr property has not been done. It is understood they ask for a set price for the work but are told no eX- act price can be given under the circumstances, and they are re- auested to agree to pay whatever costs of the sidewalk work arc. The street department promises every effort will be made to keep these costs to a minimum. It IS expected that it will not be long before these reluctant owners will agree.
 Although residents of other streets which needed repairs were given the same opportunity as were given tho same opportunity as were Grove street residents, none applied to the borough clerk as advised to do.
 Church Play Scores

Valley Cabbage
Fit For Queen
Or Workingrnan

For sheer midwinter hardness.
Imperial Valley is producing cab
bage either to fill my lady's salad
bowl or to provide Jiggs with corn
beef-and- d-cabbage. Being strictly
midwinter product in the valley, it
has comparatively little competition
and its crispness makes it popular
on the market. Some TOO to 800 acres
are devoted to it each year.
Green's" famed for health and
vigor, are among the valleys ship
pers. Spinach, which mother in
trudes in the menu, and which is
delicious once it's sheer healthful-
ness is forgiven, belongs in this
group. So, too, does broccoli, now
fast becoming Americanized, and
mustard green's.
Among the vegetables really do
ing stunts under desert conditions
are the summer squash. Despite the
summer name they produce ac-
comodatingly whenever urged and
properly protected-in October, or
January, or spring. Italian squash,
long and nicely favored, follows in
the footsteps of the so-called sum-
mer variety with its many seasons.
Cucumbers occupy compare
lively small space in the winter gar
den but are delicious. Often a fall
crop is grown to Appetite the salads,
but more popular are the very early
spring cucumbers grown at consid-
cradle pains through the winter.

Imperial Valley women who are
to exhibit handwork or other cre-
stions of the sewing room or kitch-
en- at the sixth annual Mid-winter
fair this year, are instructed by Mrs.
L. c. House. superintendent OF the
Women's division, to take special
note of regulations for filing en-
trance.
Flowers and cooked foods for ex-
hibition may be brought to the ex-
hibits building as late as 10 o'clock
Saturday morning on March 8, op-
ening day of the fair For all other
exhibits in the women's department
the latest time is Friday morning or
this week. But entrance blanks in
all cases must be filed with the
secretary of the fair by Thursday
night
While hand work may De brought
on Friday morning, Mrs. House
stresses the point that, in order to
make proper display of these exhi-
bits they should be brought by
Thursday night. In that case all ex-
hibits will receive proper display, in
accordance with plans made early
Friday morning when the exhibits
will be put in place.
An innovation which will be well
coined by women exhibitors this year
is the fact that quilts and other art

CARROTS AND
PEAS STAPLE

Even vegetables may have swank.
So say the carrots. To be sure, there
are some varieties still old-fashion-
ed. plump and common place. But
not in Imperial Valley winter fields.
Here they are ultra modern, going
in for the slim and graceful lines
which attract the eye with trimness
and color. A little attention to line
and breeding, and carrots have been
coming up in the world.
These vegetables, crisp and meaty,
carry with them not only the extra
supply of vitamins contributed by
Tmperial's long days of sunshine.
but sugar as we'll. They test as high
as IL per cent sugar, which is re-
sponsible in no small way for their
high flavor and popularity. This
year 3,675 acres were devoted OF car
rots.
Peas occupy considerable space in
tie winter program of the valley.
Fall peas, planted in September
and having only about SIS days in
which to grow and produce crop
before frost, are negligent of their
vines and spent all their efforts on
a high yield.
Spring peas, or better perhaps,
midwinter peas, since they begin
bearing in January, grow larger
/ bushes before maturing.
They masquerade under such
names as "93", "95" and "41", but
wear a wealth of demure white
blossoms in season and set a heavy
yield of plump, green pods.
While fall peas can be grown gen.
orally throughout the valley, the
winter crop which must survive the
coolest weather, is only safely
planted in the warmer sections
where a slope provides a slip for
| frost. These districts lie est OF Cali
patria and in the vicinity of inland,
where thousands of workers come
each season to do the picking.

jar after jar of fruits and vege-
tables, jellies and jams galore, all
kinds of spicy pickles, unique home
made preserves and jars of meats.
Another phase of domestic arts
which will be shown is that ex-
hibiting embroidery, lace making,
knitting. and crocheting. Delicate,
fine stitches. all types of intricate
embroideries, beautiful knit and
crocheted articles will be exhibited
here as well as rare specimens of
hand made lace.
Still another division will be de-
voted to spreads. quilts and rugs,
and with the revival of interest in
quilting and hooked rugs, many
beautiful and unusual entries will
be found here.
Sewing, just plain everyday
stitchery, which, when perfect. is as
lovely in its way as the finest en-
broidery, will have an honorable
place in the fair. A particularly at
tractive department will be that
devoted to infants apparel where
tiny garments in delicate materials
will appeal to all.
The gardeners of the valley will
have due honor also, for big space
has been reserved for them in which
they may show the rare blossoms
which they have grown. All flow
ers in season, potted ferns. cacti,
decorative plants will be included
end division has been reserved for
artistic floral displays.
With this vast display, the varied
talents of women will have full
scope and it is anticipated that this
division will be one of the most in
teresting in the fair.
Women in charge of the various
divisions are as follows: fine arts,
Mrs. A. Y. Preble, Mrs II. v. Gray,
Mrs. d. v. Stewart; embroideries,

Fine arts and household arts as
eXemplified by valley women will be
displayed at the fair in Department
G, domestic arts, of which Mrs. L.
c. House and Mrs. Forrest E. Kutz
of this city. are the superintendents.
Fine arts in fact, will really in
olude the whole display for a per-
feet pie or cake. an artistically ar
ranged group of flowers, a beauti-
ful hooked rug, may also be as fine
a development of creative art as a
painting or other type of art work.
In the fine arts division entries in
oil paintings. water colors, black and
white, and the entire field Of arts
and crafts will be featured show
ing the diversified skill and talents
of the women of the valley.
One division is to be devoted to
antique objects of all kinds and as
there are some exceptionally fine
pieces in the valley, lovers of the
old will find much to interest them
in these treasures of by-gone days.
When visitors come to the culin-
cry department it is going to be
somewhat difficult TO persuade
them that the tempting delicacies
displayed are not for immediate
consumption. There is reason why
Imperial Valley women have rep
utation as such expert cooks and
when the feathery cakes with their
luscious icings, the tender, flaky
pie crusts, the toothsome cookies,
tarts, mullins, doughnuts, are seen,
this reason will be plain to all.
Home made bread may no longer
be the usual, but many will sigh for
the return of the good old days
when the crusty loaves of white,
brown, raisin, nut, corn breads arc
witnessed.
Candies of all kinds and descrip-
tions, including crystallized fruits,
date loaves, as well as the usual
confections form another division.
Old Days Recalled
In the old days the ranches had
shelf after shelf loaded with jams
and jellies, pickles, preserves, home
made canned meats and vegetables
to protect them against the long
winter season when fruits and vege-
tables were not available.
Those who visit Department q at
