Find Beauty Spot
Near Jacumba for
SciOt Ger emOny

j. l.. Travers and c. w. Collins who
were out on a scouting trip yester-
day report that they have found
the ideal place in which to hold the
big joint ceremonial of the FL Cen
tro and Saa Diego pyramids of Sci
OTIS that will take place an May 20
Mr.. Collins in describing the place
says that it is located about 10
miles from Jacum6a and very acces'
sible from the main highway. 1t is
beautiful natural amphitheater
covering about 60 acres of ground
as level as n floor and surrounded
by gentle slope which makes it
ideally suited for the occasion.
Large trees provide ample shade
and the finest of drinking water
is supplied by two springs, the water
coming out of the ground ice-cold.
This place is real discovery and
as u beauty spot cannot be surpass-
ed anywhere in the state, they de-
clare. An Indian guide was instru-
mental in helping them find this
place whieh is particularly attrac-
tive in that it has never been fre-
quented before.

NEW YORK, May wall street

thrown into confusion today by re-
ceipt of buying orders sent by mail,

various Pennsylvania banks. The

Among the New York banks
named as correspondents were the
following: Guaranty Trust, Nation

Worthy Fund is
Growing Slowly
Who'll Be Next?

just one dollar has been added
to the American Legion Overseas
Graves Endowment funds since tine
last acknowledgment printed in the
Press on Thursday of last week.
Minor Sweeney sent in his dollar,
making a total of 1925 for the
fund. In comparison with the size
OF FL Centre this is indeed small
sum for SO worthy an object, and
the most charitable view to take is
that the people have simply over
looked sending in their contribu-
tions. Certainly no American would
willingly overlook an opportunity
to have a part in providing mem
orial for the American soldiers
who gave their lives in defense of
their country.
When one considers that this
money is to be used to place n mem
orial tribute on the grave of each
soldier buried overseas, each Mem
orial Day for hundreds of years to
come, it hardly seems possible to
think of a more worthy way to
spend the few cents that it means
to each individual. The donation
asked for is small, and the cause is
one most sacred to real Americans.

Of plans for settling the country 5
transportation problem will be urg-
ed up the country in Il political bat
tie over railroads which may dwarf
all other issues in the 1921 cam
paign.
President Harding and his admin
istration will have one plan--a fair
iy definite program, based upon
consolidation of existing lines into
n few great systems.
Senator LaFolctte and his BIZ
partisan progressive bloc in congress
will have another, based upon
squeezing all the water out of rail
road valuation and Il sort of half
government control.
The demOcrats-o at least the

have third, which probably will
represent Il compromise between the
extremes of government ownership

Everybody Interested
Farmers, manufacturers, cOnSum-

activities.

President Harding goes out this

Faced with several hundred bills

Never before In the history of

Law making will be halted dur

the budget bill, which Governor
Richardson is expected to report
to the assembly with all the in
creases voted by the Legislature
slashed by his veto. Legislators
close to the governor have announc-

the assembly added to the budget
