HUGE CROWDS
VISIT COUNTY
FAIR SUNDAY

POMONA, CAL, Sept. %. WR)-
The greatest Sunday crowd ever to
visit Los Angeles county fair was
recorded yesterday when an esti-
mated $4,000 persons jammed Ex-
position Park.
Fair officials said that 384, 900
persons have visited the grounds
since the fair opened 10 days ago,
surprising the attendance for the
first 10 days of last year by nearly
100000 persons
Two $500 stake events featured

OF
EGGS AFFECTED
BY DRY PERIOD

Drought continuing through Au-
gust contributed to lowered egg
production and to a production on
September l about 1.6 per cent be-
low that year earlier, the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics said in
summarizing poultry and egg pro-
duction as of that date.
The number of laying hens on
September was "a per cent
greater than last year, however.
Total egg production is about IA
per cent less than the September
l average of the five years 1928-32.
In the drought year 1884, the Sep
tember l production of eggs per
hen was per cent lower than it
is this year. The output per hen
this year, however, is still about
per cent under the 5-year aver
age for September l.
The difficulties of the poultry
men this year, owing to the scare
ity and high price of feed, are
similar to those of 1884, except that
the number of chickens was then
on the decline whereas earlier this
year there was a strong upward
trend in numbers The number of
young chickens on July /, stood at
about the peak of the present To-
year record.

lying Imperial valley is Lne low
cost on the appliances offered for
sale. Never before have such low
price offers been made.
The slogan for the campaign has
been announced as PAY as You're
Paid" This is interpreted to mean
that one, in order to have an elec-
trio home, must set aside out OF
his monthly pay check but one
per cent to five percent of his
salary in order to pay for his elec-
trified home.
Another unprecedented offer in
the present campaign is free wiring
for ranges and refrigerators. In
the past when one has bought
range or refrigerator he has usually
had to pay for wiring and install
alton. In the present campaign,
however. the Southern Sierras Pow
er company is paying for all wiring
no matter whether the appliance is
purchased through its commercial
department or through the facilities
of the cooperating dealers.
Another feature of the campaign
is the free servicing of the appli-
ances purchased, during the entire
life of the purchase contract. While
the modern appliances have usually
required little attention, any mech
anical device is apt to go wrong at
times. That is why the free SER
vicing offered for appliances pur-
chased during this campaign is at
tracting such favorable comment
by Imperial Valley residents.
To afford people in all sections
of the valley an opportunity to see
complete lines of the appliances for
sale, Southern SierraS and the CO.
operating dealers have shipped in
large stocks of merchandise and
have arranged these in attractive
show rooms in all valley cities. In
fact. one feature of this campaign
which will appeal to the purchaser
is that he can actually examine
the models and then have his Sc
lection delivered to his home with
in a day or two.
To take care of the tremedous
volume of business which will be
transacted during the campaign
all of the dealers and the utility
have added large forces of exper-
iencer statesmen to their reguall

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.

A LII nature is teeming with energy
Electricity Is one Of the better
known forms of natural energy.
The resistance which q moving body
offers to being stopped is another
The persistence Of wishful thinking In
our mental lives Is another. No one
can explain Just why these three forms
of energy exist. And there are thou
sands Of other forms in this universe
All Of them are riddles. Classiflca.
tions are merely shorthand descrip-
tionS.
The psychologists assume that every
ambition, every wish, Is an expression
of a natural energy. Some myste-
rious power lies back of them. So LONG
as your ambitions and wishes are sat.
isfied, you are feeling fine. The very
moment they meet resistance, you
begin to feel a tension somewhere ir
your body. AS the tension increases
you become irritable. Increase the
tension and you may go to pieces. In
other words. you become apprehen-
sive, then nervous, and finally suffer
q so-called nervous breakdown.
There must be some reason for these
forms of gy-displacement. The
psychologist now says that the psychic
energy runs along the nerve hbers,
just as electricity follows the wires.
Obstruct the release Of energy, and it
piles up In the nerves and gives rise
to those strange feelings which we call
fears, bafflements, break-downs.
