100000 MILES. /.
AND NO REPAIRS

"My old bus has carried me over a
hundred thousand miles, and | haven't
had to spend dime for parts or re-
pairs. I've used only two sets of
tires in that time, and have forgot
ten the last time | put water in the
radiator"
1t was strong selling talk, but the
prospective purchaser turned and
walked back to his office without be-
coming excited or even interested.
"It's odd," said Mr.. Leach to his
partner, Du Sold, "they tell the same
about fish, boyhood fights gambling
and used cars. They always have the
best, the largest, and they never
lose.
eve have bought and sold thou
sands of cars in the last three years.
Naturally we will not purchase a car
that is not in good shape. But in
selling we have never attempted to
close with customer by overrating
a car. Our policy has been to invite
careful inspection by the purchasers
mechanic and then allow liberal
road trial"
Frankness and telling only what
they actually know about their cars
probably accounts for the strong fol-
lowing Leach & Du Sold enjoy.

Mr.. Blaisdell of Brawley sauntered
into Ell Centre last Monday, looked
'em all over and then did the usual.
He returned to his first love. Return
ing to old loves is often necessary,
occasionally expedient, but selGbm

case Of profit in dollars, miles and
satisfaction.
"Any car" said Mr.. Blaisdell, "that
can ride the borders, jump bitches,
carry livestock and behave like
thoroughbred 365 days in one year at
a total upkeep of $40 is surely
safe car to tie to-"
After trying to out-talk Mr.. Blen-
kison of the Blenkison- Doddridge Co.
on the turn-in price of his old Chew
rolet Mr.. Blaisdell drove out of town
in a new Chevrolet, the third car of
this make he has owned in as many
years. Low upkeep and uninterrupt-
er sedvice has made many friends for
this light car.

MEX|CAL| BIG
ATTRACTION At
LOCAL GROUNDS

Mexicali's 36-piece band will be on
deck tomorrow afternoon when the
Ell Centre baseball team and the
Mexicali nine cross bats on the local
diamond for the fourth game on the
winter league.
If dope proves correct the contest
will be FL Centro's fro mthe start,
the local boys having won two games,
lost none and tied one, giving them
perfect average. Mtxicali on the
other hand has fallen to defeat three
times, not winning single game.
Brawley has beaten them twice and
CaleXico once.
A slight change in the regular
lineup of the Ell Centre team has
been announced by Chief Otto Reber,
manager of the team. Cooper will
go to third base, Schidell second and
Nickels to the bench. The change
will add materially to the strength of
the team, it was said. Cooper, who
was one of the heaviest hitters of the
league last year, is expected to come
forth with more than one bingle to-
morrow afternoon.
Livingston will start the game and
is at the present time the only regu-
lar string pitcher on the team. Tip
ton left for the coast last night. Liv-
ingston is not the best twirler in the
valley, but will be able to hold his
own with Mexicali with solid back
field behind him. Chief Reber has
burned up the wires between Ell Cen
tro and San Diego the past week, try
ing to locate man to repalce Upton.
Tackett, said to be the best back
stop in the league will handle the
heavy end tomorrow afternoon.
Pat Conley will be on first, Bugs"
Rath at shortstop, "Rube" Ellis, John
Kepley and Maurice Hurt in the out
field.

RED CROSS!!!
FRED CROSSE!
DOUBLE CROSS

Valleyites are familiar with all of
them, but the stunt put over last
week on the genial used car merchant
was new one, and MIR. Cross is still
buying the smokes for the row. 1t
has been customary for Mr. Cross to
allow few days trial Of any car in
his stock free of charge to prospect
i've purchasers. Last week a perfect
ly good Red Cross worker looked the
stock over and intimated that he
might buy if satisfied. He also stat
ed that he needed car in his work.
Mr.. Cross thought he saw an oppor-
tunity to prove himself good sa-
maritan and also some salesman. The
car and the "worker" disappeared to-
gether. Yesterday Fred receivd a
wir thanking him for the use of the
car and inviting him to come to San
Diego and find it if possible.

A full house is expected at the
American Legion Athletic club to-

Chris George, the fighting Greek, and
Ray Gibson, idol of the Ben Bowie
post, who fought a four-round draw
last week. The Greek has vowed
himself to make short work Of the

has been hard at work for the past
week rounding into shape. BE.
Gibson has surrounded himself
with corps of aids and can be seen

The Greek has the edge on the col

go to mi, but dope has be.v upset,
and according to Mister Manager
Woodbury. it is anyone's match until
the final blow is landed.
George is touring the country in
the interest of the American Legion,
and for that reason every fan OF

SMALL, BUT OH
MY, SUCH CLASS

An insistant demand of farmers,
orchardists, road builders, contract
ors and loggers for high grade trac-
tor that could be used where the
power required did not justify the
purchase of "siXty," has developed
the 2030. After months of tests
this ilodel is declared the highest
grade of all tractors anywhere its
horsepower manufactured today. The
design and materials used in this new
thirty are the results Of decade Of
high grade tractor building expert
ence and the knowledge gained by the
successful operation Of various mod
els in the fields. The working parts
in this new model are entirely en-
closed, and all gears are run in a
bath of oil. Anti-friction bearings
are generously used at points where
long manufacturing experience die
.ates. This tractor turns in it's own
length and is very easily operated.
The "Best 20-30" is due to make its
initial appearance in FL Centre about
Jan. /, by Chas. Anderson, valley
representative of the E. J. Crook CO.,
agents here, states that the immense
demand for these tractors will doubt
less cause deliveries TO be a trifle
slow. Advance orders will keep the
factory running day and night for
som time.

BUSINESS USES
WIDE IN SCOPE

To far greater degree than its
higher priced brother, the low priced
touring car is used for purposes of
business. Not only in solving the
matter of transportation is the low
priced car used, but in carrying light
loads as well. A little observation
of the cars Of moderate price that
you see on the city streets and the
main highways of the country will
convince you that a majorityy Of the
light cars deserve little more in
elusive than passenger car"
"a feature of the Overland Four
upholstery makes it particularly
adapted to emergency service as a
burden carrier" saws Mr.. Williams.
n:a1ager of the Ell Centro branch of
the Davies-Overland Co.
GAIL of the upholstery of the ton
neau- of the Overland -Four is easily
removable. 1t is less than two
minute jo bto completely remove the
seat cushions, side and back cushions
of the tonneau of the Overland Four.
Their removal not only protects them
against harm when there is a load of
stuff to be carried in the rear of the
car, but it distinctly adds to the car
rying space.
"Many folks use their car occa-
sionally to go to the country for a
load Of produce. With the upholstery
removed from the rear, the Overland
will carry an astonishing load of this
sort of stuff, and we have scores of
owners who make regular use of their
cars for this purpose.."

WAITE LOOKS FOR
25 CENT COTTON

Horticultural Commissioner F. w.
Waite today ventured the prediction
that short staple cotton would be sell
ing for 25 cents pound in March
He also predicted that there would
be volunteer crop of Pima next
year which will bring handsome re-
turns to the growers.
"At the present time," he says,
"the cotton situation loosk bad. But
l have every reason to believe that by
March l in the coming year that
short staple will be bringing 25 cents
on the open market. Pima cotton
will also show corresponding in
crease in price. While many Of the
farmers are now turning from cotton
to alfalfa there will be a few wise
men who will keep their cotton. II
the amount of cotton acreage is not
too great those who continue in the
cotton game seem certain of good re-
turns. | believe that voluntary Pima
next year will cut considerable fig

HUGE SHORTAGE
OF TEACHERS
LACK OF TEACHERS BECOMING
A PROBLEM-SMALL WAGES
THE CAUSE.

Heena, February 10.-One of the
| important questions now before the
Montana public is in connection with
a supply Of teachers. That the short
age is acute, and has been for sew
eral years, is evidenced by the calls
that are made upon County Superin-
tendents and the State Superintendent
Of Public instruction by school trus-
tees for assistance in securing teach
erS.
According to a report by the Ma
tional Education Association, the
shortage of teachers in the United
States is 100000 and in proportion
to population Montana is we'll up on
the list in the shortage. The short
age is principally in the rural schools,
where for the sake Of public welfare
there should be ample supply.
The reason for this shortage is not
difficult to find-inadequacy of the
salaries. Thousands have left the
teaching profession because they can
command two to four times greater
income in other lines. This IS the
opinion of the United States Bureau
Of Education, and is founded on care
full investigation. While men and
women in other professions have al
most an assurance that after a few
years their income will increase, those
in the teaching professional cannot
look forward to any appreciable great
er compensation.
The average wage of workers in the
building trades is IS per cent higher
than the salaries paid teachers, and
the lowest paid railroad workers
compensation is from 43 to So per cent
higher. In the past five years the
average increase in the salaries of
teachers has been IL per cent, while
living expenses have advanced almost
100 per cent.
No State in the Union is more vital
ly interested in this question of an
ample supply of teachers than is
Montana, and the State Teachers AS
sociation, County Superintendents and
State Officials who are responsible for
the educational interests Of the State,
are cooperating to bring about such
a condition as will result in giving the
schools of the State not only an
ample supply Of teachers, but will at
tract to Montana and to the teach
ing profession those best qualified to
instruct the boys and girls upon whom
will depend the future of the COM
monWealth.
