baskets are always a pleasure. They
may be filled with cookies, tiny cakes,
popcorn balls, homemade candy, jelly,
or numerous other good things. There
are many gifts, clever and useful, that
may be made at home. And how
much the recipient does appreciate
even a trife made by child's small
hands.
Encourage the youthful givers to
arrange all gifts as attractively as
possible. Such acts of thoughtfulness
for others will leave stabilizing mem
cries Of kind, generous, understanding
homefolks.
Don't forget: the joy of unselfish-
ness is gift beyond price and you
may give this gift to your children
this Christmas.

Innovations Introduced by
City Public Library

Ell Centro's public library is
ready to meet the demands of a
new school year and of a new year
for adult borrowers also who once
more will pa:ronize the city Ii
brary after the summers absences.
Many innovations await patrons,
one of which is the new division
for juveniles, with Romaine Magee
in charge. Part of the main reading
room has been set aside for the
young people and all juvenile books
will be charged out over a sepa-
rate desk
The Hard Perennial" shelf is
another innovation. Here will be
grouped those books, both fiction
and non-fiction which appeal to
the borrowers of high school and
college age and to those adults
seeking something 1ige but worth
while. Books which have remained
in favor over a period of years, de-
serving the title, hardy peren-
malls, will be placed in this divi-
sion-such favorites as the Grau-
stark romances, the tales by Booth
Harrington, Norman Duncan, and
those classical favorites such as
Jane Eyre, etc.

What makes a COW chew a bone?
Very simple question, answered
George Winright, assistant farm ad-
visor. ut is PHOSPHORUS deficiency

Humorous as a COW chewing a
bone may seem, to Imperial Valley
farmers it denotes a serious situa-
ton. Winright brought this fact to
the front Saturday as he predicted
an increased use of PHOSPHORUS
for fertilizer in the county.
Lack of this element is not only
evident in crop growth but in the
condition of cattle for many years, y
the farm advisor said. "One symp-
tom of this deficiency is a pervert-

away each year-our turnover IN

In our experience we have found
that no matter how far you travel,
you always run into someone from
Imperial Valley. That good old Davis
adage was proven again by Horace
Ashley Simms who. while travelling
in distant South America, found
that the only person he had ever
met before in one particular COM

son, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry l.. Loud of Ell Centre. Margaret

parents and great grandfather can
have her all to themselves. Mean
while the usual controversy is on
as to which side of the family the

Mrs. Horton thinks she looks like
the Knox family, and think she
looks like grandfather, Harry Hor-
ton, and her mother. At any rate
she is adorable.
Mrs. Ross T. Hickcox has given
the residents of Sierra Madre a
lesson in comfort. Sierra Madre does
get little warm in summer and

there seemed to be nothing to do
about heat except endure it. Mrs
Hickcox however, installed one OF
our famous desert coolers which
worked like magic and which met
with instant approval by the Sierra
Madre friends who found that there
was no need whatever to suffer
from hot weather as we Imperia
