Silent Personalities
County Clerk UaWyer- Minister
Politician) Edward H. Law, whose
homespun remarks have been made
from one end of Imperial county 10
the other, had a humiliating con-
fession to make today. He had just
returned from the national Town
send convention at Chicago, which
he attended as HoltVille delegate.
Quoth Ed:
That's one meeting I attended
where I did lot of listening and
positively no talking"
Assessor Equipment?
The Imperial Valley Credit Asso-
citation bulletin carries this note:
IAN informant, asked to describe the
applicants fixtures, equipment and
other assets answers as follows:
'Chrysler sedan, household goods,
wife and two children"
Mother, Dear Mother, Come Home
A mother who wanted a few last
"Oldo, Hlito q Doii wiz "etAAONN
to go home, furnished ingredients of
subtle, undeclared war in front of
Wensley avenue home. When the
RR looked the last time, the boys
persistence was being rewarded.
Mother, talking away at great rate,
was slowly edging toward the side
walk.
The Job Comes First
Lee Landerman's devotion to his
field work is amazing. You won't
find him at the court house most any
day.
Note to Landlords
Here's another omen of better
times. Russell Sherwood, restaurant
er, reports he can hardly handle his
increased volume of business in pres
ent quarters.
Speaking of SherwOod's
A recent arrival in the valley was
eating tflre the other day. Ready to
leave, she noted the absence from
her purse of several hundred dollars
worth Of diamonds, put there until
she could procure a safety deposit
box. Mattresses were mustered into
searching posse to turn the place
upside down. No trace of the dia-
monds. An hour later the lady
phoned that she hadn't lost the
valuables at all, but had forgotten
she had put them in her trunk for
safe-keeping. Oh well, Russ, women
are like that.
Cream for the Army
-Four dollars and fifty cents re-
posed blissfully in the Golfers of
the Salvation Army today. 1t was
the total of fines imposed on di-
rectors of the Challenge Cream and
Butter Marketing association last
week when some of them drank cof-
fee. Disloyalty, President w j. Hig-
don calls it.
A Courageous Minister
One of the striking sermons that
will be heard in El Centros church
eS tomorrow is that of the Rev. E.
K. Latimer of State Street Christian
church. His evening subject will be
1.-The Letter I Received from Frank
lin D. Roosevelt-and My Reply"
Here is most candid and coura-
geous minister
The Price of Fame
The rising tide of popularity of
Nelson Eddy who will sing here next
week is we'll demonstrated in Ell
Centro. A year ago it was necessary
to solicit several people to get one
to motor the handsome baritone to
inland following his concert to catch
train back to Los Angeles. This
year there is a waiting list-and
many OF them are members of the
fair sex. Oh for tf/ life of baritone.
Did Your Ears Burn
Blissfully oblivious of the nippy
weather, four housewives huddled
under the arc light on the corner of
Holt avenue and Seventh street.
Yarning about the neighbors? Any
way, the RRs ears were burning as
he strolled from the picture palace.
o
Signs of the Past
Those small piles of broken con-
crete in front of John r. RobertSons
place are neither tombstones nor
remains of a vanished race. They
merely mark the spots where gas
pumps have been uprooted.
o
Check Up on That, Dick
Since Dick, his service manager,
won out as high man for efficiency
in a group of 400 on the coast, Johnny
Robertson is in danger of having to
buy new hat. The size is larger,
you know Just between you and
me, Dick, it's good time to hint
something about the old pay check.
The Fourth Estates Loss
1t is not generally known, but our
grapevine tells us that a good news
paperman was lost to the world when
circumstances forced o. c.. Horne
into the banking business. Which
may account for the mysterious CLINT
in his eye when he says, no"
