the republicans are concerned, at
least, will be in full swing almost Il
year before the nominating conven-

Desert Holly Is
Another |. Y.
Product

There are lots of advantages to
living in Imperial Valley besides
having all the cantaloupes, lettuce
and grapefruit one can eat.
One of them is the fact that one
may obtain all the beautiful desert
holly he wishes "free for nuthin -
as the youngster said.
The highway between here and
Shepherd Bridge was dotted yes
terday with parked automobiles
whose occupants were busy gather
ing the beautiful grey green shrub,
so much in demand both here and in
all the large cities at this time of
the year.
There were no "kecpoff' signs
and the extent of the load was
regulated entirely by the size of the
car or the appetite of its owner. 4
Combined with brilliant red holly
berries, there is no more beautiful
decoration for holiday season than
this Imperial Valley holly.

[. A. FIRM BUYS
MANY TRACTORS
OVER in FRANCE

A large number of Holt caterpillar
tractors, shipped to France during
the war for heavy duty on the fir
ing line and later brought back to
this country by. a group of enter
prising Los Angeles business men,
have been put on the market by the
Farm Machiney company of 927
Merchants National Bank building,
Los Angeles.
The tractors were intended to tow
cannon, ammunition and supply
trains and to do grading for roads
and railroads. Peace came and the
tractors were not used, having ar
rived too late. They were left at
the quartermaster camp at Saint
Sulpice, near Bordeaux.
About a year ago a group of Los
Angeles business men became in
terested in the war tractors. The
Farm Machinery Company was or
ganized and purchased them, as
well as a large quantity of spare
parts and stationary engines for
pumping and farm poweFsunits.
h.. Receive Rigid Tests .,.
The tractors were subjected to
the most rigid possible tests before
being accepted by the government
during the war. The motors receiv-
ed 12-hour idle test, followed by
12-hour horse power test, pulling
Is horsepower or 120 horsepower
during the entire period. All mo-
tors which failed to pass the test
were rejected.
The work of bringing the tractors
back to the United States was then
started. The company employed rs
mechanics in France and every one
of the machines was thoroughly
tested and overhanled before being
placed aboard ship for the return
trip.
They were brought from France
via the Panama Canal on ships op-
Grated by the Trans-Anlantique
Company and We're unloaded at the
docks OF the Los Angeles Shipbuild-
ing and Dry Dock corporation.
A number of these tractors, with
competent, experienced operators,
will be rented ON very reasonable
terms, while the sale price for the
tractors, spare parts and rs horse,
power engines Is considerably less
than half the factory prices.

BALL MAGNETS
TURN TO PACIFIC
COAST LEAGUE
Belief Prevails That
McGraw Has Sold
Kelly.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Blocked
on all sides by a demand of every
thing for nothing, the major league
magnates in need of improvements
for the 1924 penunant races will turn
to the American Association and
the Pacific Coast League.
The Giants and the Yankees
couldn't get, any place in their at
tempts to trade with major league
clubs because their rival clubs felt
III no humor to add more strength
to the two clubs that have enough
power now.
- With plenty of young players to
offer in trades, the two New York
champion teams should be able to
land most of the choice players OF
the two big minor organizations.
The Yankees already are negotiat
ing wIeh the Louisville American
Association Club for Deane and
Combs and it is understood a deal
will be brought up again with the
Vernon Pacific Coast League for
Jakey May, a aouthpaw pitcher who
has been III demand. =.
McGraw Back Soon
The Yanks have plenty of young
stcrs to pass 'out and Miller Hug
gins said that he would trade any
OF chem with the exception OF
Gehrig. the former Columbia first
baseman, and Pipgrass, a young
pitcher.
John McGraw is returning this
week from vacation in europe
and when he gets back to his desk
he will get busy on several propo-
sitions tnat the Giants worked up
during his absence.
If the International League had
gone along with its two class AA
mates in accepting the compromise
on the draft, the Giants would go
after Boley and Groves of the
Baltimore Club, but McGraw has in
sisted that he viii not pay the cash
that Jack Dunn demands for the
two stars. - ..7. -,
When the Giants announced that
they had turned down several Of
fers of 100000 and more for Bill
Terry, with the Toledo Club last
year, the belief was strengthened
here that McGraw has disposed OF
George Kelly, the tail first base
man, or that he is figuring on him
for trade.
