SEARS, ROEBUCK
TO OPEN BRANCH
STORE IN CITY

The coming OF Sears, Roebuek &
Co. to El Centre is further proof of
the growth of this section of South
ern California, according to C. r.
Cook, general manager of the COM
pdny's interests in its southwest dis
trict, who announced today that this
big nationally known merchandising
firm will open tire and automobile
accessory store here soon.
The new retail store will be To-
Gated at 53S Main street, very
central location which is readily ac-
eessiblc to people who live in the
city, as well as those who may come
from all parts of Imperial county.
1--WE believe it to be a conven-
renee to our customers in this county
to locate a retail tire and automo-
bile accessory store in FL Centre. -
said Cook. ''In this way we feel
we can better service those who
have been purchasing by mail our
Allstate Sr. and Dearborn Sr. auto
mobile tires. Customers at our store
in Ell Centre will be able to take
with them Immediately the articles
they purchase, as this is to be re-
tail store i'll every way. We have
considerable demand for our tires
and accessories in this territory, and
we are simply moving the stocks
closer to our friends.
The happy relations we have en-
joyed by mail with the people of
FL Centre and Imperial county we
hope win be continued at our new
store, where we expect to make
many new friends, - continued
Cook.
The FL Centre retail tire and
automobile accessory store will be
in charge of }. Michclcna, who is
being promoted and transferred

cause Sears, Rocbuck X Co. has
been known for about IL years as
a mail order house, said Gurnev,
"thc general public has not yet en-
tlrelv grasped the fact that we are
also in the retail store business. Our
retail stores are not merely places
where goods are displayed, and must
be ordered from the catalog. Mcr-

chased right over the counter.

 Referring to the worlds confer ence on faith and order held last August ct Lausanne. Switzerland, in which the Protestant Episcopal church was called the Bridge Church" Bishop Manning continued: , Our own church and the Angli- can communion throughout the world will continue to play large part in that movement, because in the providence of God the Anglican church includes in itself those things which aSs true and essential for which Protestantism stands. It was for this reason our German brethren at Lausanne applied to tho Anglican church tho name Bridge Church because they recognised the fact that we stand in . unique relation with the Catholic world on the one hand and the Protestant world on the other"

Managua. Mic. Jan. lS N - Harassed by three days of persistent and heavy bomhing from marine corps planes. rebel outposts today had fled from the San Albino re- zion. marine headquarters announce cd. The announcement was made upon the return of airplane patrols from the region where the marines are massing for . drive against the rebel general, Augustine Sandino.
 4 combat patrol also reported there was no evidence tn the ouilali district of rebel activity. It was be. lieved that sandine's forces have re- tired to Fl Chipots, which hs made his headquarters after the marines took Quilat.
 A company of marinss went to Matasalpa to strengthen tho gar- rison there.
 Tho explosion of two bombs is thought to have warned Sandino's followers to leave Jinotega Sunday. It was reported that Sandino left Fl Chipota stating ha would % to Jin. otega and that hts arrival would bs announced by the explosion of two bombs. Tho explosion took plscs as forecast. When Sandino did not appear 1t was believed that this was q warning to hts cohorts.
 With the arrival of Major General John 4. Lejeune. commander of the marines. and Brigadier General Lo- gan Feland. and with United States ship daily disembarking marines and supplies. alrplanes and ammunition at Corinto. Nicaragua is assuming the military appearance which 1t had last February when more than t.o0o blue jackets and marines occupied all the important cities of Nicaragua and guarded the national railway. Last year General Moncada was leader of the rebellious liberal forces and at the head of 3.ooo we'll armed soldiers. and was making his way slowly in the interior. his ob- iecttve being Managua. Moncada laid down his arms at the request of Henry L. sttmson. the representative of President Coolidge. and . pact was signed whereby the United States was granted supervision over the 1928 presidential election.
 Today Sandino. former liberal general under Moncada, has aAsun- ed the leadership of a sn,all. but strong group of men in the almost inaccessible region Of Nueva &c., govia. His distance to the United States has brought many malcon- tents and adventurers to his ranch.
 American officials had believed that when Moncada surrendered. the country would at once return to normalcy. Such was the case where marines were located, but the sreat- CT part of the area of Nicaragua is made up of unaxplored tropical jungies. forest and mountains. and 1t is impossible to patrol and sarrison all sections unless thousands of marines arc utilized.
 4 small national guard hes been organized and trained. but shortage of funds has not permitted the gov- ernment to increase the force as de- sired.
 Failure 10 quell sandino. whose strength is unknown. has caused general uneasiness throughout the country. Small groups of outlaws roam in certain districts at will. committing depredations of ail kinds. Crimes have increased.
