FORD BUNCH WILL
RAISE RACQUET NOW

El Centre has a new tennis club.
Ii is a private affair, and organized
in response to desire of Edgar Bros
garage employees, to indulge in the
friendly art of raquet welding. The
club has been christened Edgar
Brothers Ford Tennis Club.
j. A. Mum, manager of the garage
was elected president and~Lester over
holser, secretary and treasurer, at a
meeting n couple of weeks ago OF en-
ployes of the automobile firm. Twelve
have signed the roster rs charter mem
bers. Two courts have been laid out
on u large lot on Brighton street di-
rectly across from the high school
buildings. Last Sunday the members
donned their old work togs and built
wire backstops and rolled the courts.
A few hours later the rubber was
bouncing back and forth.
Mr.. Mum says the club will purchase
Il supply of decomposed granite for the
court and this will make it one of the
fastest in the valley, it is believed.
Valley clubs wishing to meet the sharks
from the Ford club are requested to
communicate with Mr.. Overholser and
proper articles of combat will be drawn
up.

SAYS HE'S GUILTY

John A. Ryan, bad check artist and
alleged world war veteran, pleaded
guilty to the charge of passing worth
less checks on a number of FL Centre
merchants in Justice Mayfield 8 court
this morning. His bail was fixed at
81 900 and was turned over to the Gus
tody of the county officials for trial
in the superior court.
Ryan claims to be a shell shock vic
tim and mentally unbalanced as re
suit. When shown Il check issued by
him to the X. c. Service station of FL
Centre, Ryan could not remember OF
the time, he presented it, he told the
judge. The man related q graphic
story of his experiences in the late
war and cited instances when he fought
at Vimy Ridge, Nancy, Argonne and
Chateau Thierry. He said he held the
rank of captain in the engineers and
later acting major in the 9th infantry
According to Ryan, physicians at the
Walter Reed Hospital declared his con
dition incurable. He was then sent to
the Auburn hospital near Denver fol-
short period and later transferred to a
sanitarium in Palo Alto, California
Ryan came to the valley from Tijuana
with party of four men a short time
ago. He wrote out the checks and pre-
sented them to local men thinking, he
said he had sufficient funds in the Bank
of Italy where his wife was to have de
posted one half his government pay
money amounting to $l,050.
Don c. Bitter, deputy district attor
ney, has been unable to learn from
government officials anything as tc

POSTMASTER SEES
HOPE IN HEREAFTER

Although postal Improvement week
is thing of the past, if the people
of Ell Centre will continue to give US
the same cooperation which they ex-
tended last week, it will be of great
assistance in operating the postoffice
in an efficient Manner Postmaster
Collins said this morning.
BY remembering to mail early and
often throughout the day, the people
will greatly help reduce the work Of
postoffice employees, He also asked
that care be taken to properly stamp
and address mail and wrap parcel post
packages securely.
The postmaster extends his thanks
for cooperation given him by the super
intendent of schools, teachers, The
Press and especially to the children
who visited the postoffice and saw how
the work of handling the mail is con-
ducted. To them he makes the request
that they remember what they saw
and heard there and to observe the in
structions given them when they have
to do any mailing, urging their parents
to do the same. Postal improvement
week was as great success locally as
it was nationally.
