Sale of Clements Corner Property
By Parks Estate Expected Soon

Sale within the near future of the
southeast corner of Sixth and Main
street in Ell Centre was predicted
Saturday by Allan Nuffer, executor
of the B. E. Parks estate, owner.
There has been an offer of $45,-
900 already made, before the fire,
from San Diego parties" Nuffer
said.
This was withdrawn, pending
settlement of insurance. I expect
several other offers soon. A Los An
eeles syndicate is also interested"
Nuffer was unable to say exactly
how much the building was damag-
ed by a blaze that swept through
the attic of Clements Drug store
into the Johnson's clothing store
Thursday morning. He expected a
figure somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000 would be collected as in
surance. -.
"Of course, I don't know what
the prospective buyers can do, but
expect the Los Angeles bidders
would erect building of consider
able size" Nuffer said.
The building and corner site were
appraised recently at $4,000. Nuf-
fer is authorized, as executor, to
sell within ten per cent of this fig

Wirin, who addressed mass

meanwhile pleading with the far

from the speakers stand by Capt
R. A. Paquette of the state high
way patrol, and was taken by Sher-

Of the county.
The attorney, visibly nervous, in
1884 was kidnapped and left in the
desert while aiding striking lettuce
pickers in the Imperial Valley.
Earlier in the evening, police had
gone to the city hall park where
the strikers have been encamped
and arrested 20 men, among them
strike leaders. They were booked
at the county Jail on charges of
conspiracy.
District Attorney George Nor
decai meanwhile issued warrants
for five other strike leaders.
The town, center of strike activity
in the San Joaquin Valley, was
tense, although farm leaders said
there was no danger of further
outbreaks.
A number of strikers were in
jured Wednesday when a caravan
of pickets was surrounded near
Chowchilla.
Lieut.. Col. Charles Henderson,
national guard observer sent here
by Gov. Culbert L. Olson, was said
by farmer leaders to have informed
them he would order the strikers
TO cease use of caravans in picket
ing.
Henderson, addressing a farmers
meeting, said he had been informed
that the editor of a MADEIRA paper"
had called the governors office on
Thursday to ask national guard
reinforcements for civil authorities

"It is difficult to explain in a
few words, but I believe the best
expression is that the retirement
warrants plan represents the in
stallment plan run backwards ;"
Celebrating, Kieffer explained
hat in the end the warrant system
results in merchants giving away
their wares for nothing!
And nobody can do that and
stay in business. That's quite OBJ
vious," he added.
Reducing the plan to its lowest
common denominator, let's take a
concrete example, Kieffer contin-
ued
suppose you, as a senior citi-
zen, have a ST warrant and want
to buy a pair of 81 socks. Let's
assume the merchant accepts the
warrant and gives you the socks.
Nov, you have the socks and
the merchant has the warrant.
Suppose the merchant keeps the
warrant for a year, after which
time, according to the act, he may
urn in the warrant and receive for
it 81 in lawful money. Meanwhile,
however, he must keep on affiXing
stamps at the rate of two cents a
week At the end Of the year, when
le gets his 81 out of the warrant,
he will have affixed $1O4 in stamps.
In effect, the merchant has
given you pair of socks in return
for an obligation payable at two
cents a week for a year. He has
paid for the socks himself, on the
installment plant"

1t was the most spectacular de-
