A Preacher Who Advertises.

1t has been proven that advertising
pays in every legitimate business or
profession known to man. There is a
minister in Mansfield who knows that
it pays to advertise. He is Rev. Ezra
J. Durham, pastor Of the Presbyterian
Church. of Mansfield, and each week he
adtertises the regular Sunday services
in the Mansfield papers. He also adj
yertises the savings campaign in the
same way. In Il recent display adver-
tisement inserted in his local papers
attention was called to the Sunday ser
vices, and in the left hand corner of
the advertisement was a small picture
of Benjamin Franklin. the American
apostle Of thrift, with the wording,
Thrift is power. Save and succeed.

Casey Abbott of Calexico has the
distinction of travelling between CAL
exico and Los Angeles in the fastest
time any resident of Imperial valley
ever enjoyed.
Yesterday he made the trip from
Los Angeles in two hours and twenty
five minutes. Nothing daunted by his
experiences in making the trip up
on Saturday which was not completed
till Sunday, Calcxico's mayor asked
for more and was rewarded with a per-
feet trip.
The start from the coast city was
made yesterday morning, no troubles
were encountered and graceful land
ing was made at Calexico.
This was the first commercial trip
to be made between the Imperial val
ley and Los Angeles. The fare was
$500 round trip but Mr. Abbott SAYS
he got his moneys worth.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 30.--After
further sharp criticism by Republi-
cans in the Senate today of the land
ing Of American marines at Trau aft
er Italian forces had taken possession
of the port, the Senate adopted Sena-
tors resolution requesting the Presi-
dent to transmit a report of the in
cident to the Senate.
The resolution caused a lively row
in which Hitchcock, Democrat from
Nebraska, charged the Republicans
with heckling the President and also
with deliberately filibustering to de-
,ay action on the peace treaty.
The landing OF American marines
at Trau by Rear Admiral Andrews
was not directed by the supreme coun-
ell, according to the American peace
delegation which explained when the
party of Italians entered Trau it was
feared clash might occur between the
Italians and the Serbians and the
Italian admiral on the scene appealed
to the American admiral to intervene
for the maintenance of peace.

CROP
IS WORTH
MILLIONS

Imperial Valleys 1919 harvests will
approximate $65, 100000, according to
l. 7. Sparks, commercial agent for the
Southern Pacific, who has just COM
pleted survey of the valley. Last
years crop value was $47,000,000, ac-
cording to Mr. Sparks and this years
will show an increase of from 35 to
30 per cent.
In estimating the total number of
carloads Of winter vegetables to leave
the valley, Mr.. Sparks, places his es-
innate at more than 5000, which will
be jump from 1,164 last year. This
estimate includes lettuce, tomatoes,
spinach, asparagus, onions and all via.
ter vegetables.
TIE enormous increase in the let
tuce acreage will be responsible for
large amount of this increase in car
load lots and Mr.. Sparks places d very
conservative estimate at 5000 acres
with chances it will 60 much higher.
Last year the acreage was 3.3O6.
The valley is enjoying a building
boom in all sections, in Mr.. Sparks
opinion, who states. that there are
now so cars daily of oil lumber and
building materials being shipped.
Shipments out of the valley at the
present time are very small but the
incoming shipments make up a heavy
daily average
The building material and lumber
shipments give some indication of the
amount of building going on. Mr..
Sparks would not state there is a,
building boom on, but hHerelX an ex-
ceptionally heavy norloA growth.
In his estimates the valleys con-
sumption of oil and distilate, with
gasoline, he estimates the consump
tion is 100000 gallons daily. His es-
innate is that the valley gas bill is
tens of thousands of dollars a day,
this of course Includes oil used by var
ious institutions outside of automobiles
and tractors.
Mr.. Sparks believes that the coming
fall and winter will be the biggest year
in the history of the Imperial vallep
and the Southern Pacific is making
every plan to care for the traffic.
