Clyda {. kuykendal manager OF

brought in to the chamber OF com
merce, 4 supply of Ner:' attractive
Standard Oil bulletins for the month
of July, whose inner pages contain
an excellent and well illustrated
article on Imperial Valley. The Il,
Illustrations are particularly good
and depict the growing fields OF
lettuce, eantaloupe, strawberrles
and spinach. There are views OF
ears undergoing icing, and trucks
laden with cotton.
One of the views shows a field
of Young tomato plants with their
coverings Of brush to protect them
from troSt-and thereby hangs Il
tale, very interesting one. This
bulletin reached the firm OF Nann,
Tuck. Sheridan and Sheridan of
syracuse, New York, and Irving
Van wrote to the Standard OIL
Company at San Francisco, stating
that he had seen the illustration

Young plants and asked how he
might obtain more detailed infarma-
tion. The letter was referred 10
Kuykendall, who had prepared this
story for the Standard Bulletin. He,
in turn, brought the letter into the
chamber of commerce and Secretary
Hays must tell the Syracuse firm
how the valley protects its young
plants from frost by the use Of lit
tie brush shelters, and the familiar
little white paper caps.
These trade journals which con
tain Imperial Valley and California
articles always do much good, and
Hays states that the chamber OF
commerce is always ready to pro
vide photographs and texts for any
such publications which may wish
to carry a story about FL Centre or
the Imperial Valley.

considered as having made de

the welfare of the thrifty Ameri-

The thing that makes ancient
Argo pertinent to this story is the
fact that Basil Metropoulos, head of
the Greek department in the Bank
OF Italy, and past commander of
Hellenic Post No. 230, American
Legion, in san Francisco was born
there Mctropou}os is the custodian
OF approximately 1000 savings
accounts of present and former
Greek nationals IN California, and
keeps close cheek on the more than
$250o,t60 that these accounts re-
present.
The number of Greeks in Cali
fornia Is in cXresS of 50 1000 an&
they form an important element in
the economic makeup eff the state.
There are many professional men
in the list, while the number of
well-to-do merchants is considerable.
According to the latest tabulation
there are ~ groceries, 323 con-
dictionaries and 639 restaurants in
SAN Francisco operated by Greeks,
while their participation III many
other business enterprises is hardly
less imposing.
There are two Greek Orthodox
churches in San Francisco. \ cathe-
dral, to be known as st. Sophia 5 in
the same city, has been planned. \.

Rancitaly Corporation aud founder

Embassy in Washington. He attends

The first interest Of the Grceh
Department is Amcricauizatio tion. It's
system for the instruction Of pros
pective citizens is fully as well
developed as its system for the
handling of savings accounts, re-
mittances and credit transactions.
The department supplies court Wit

The department WAS established
in 1921 and soon was drawing ae-
counts from all parts of the state.
Metropoulos, the manager, has been
with the bank for Is years, the only
break in his service coming during
the World War, when he enlisted
and was sent to Camp Lewis. H.
served there for one year, being
discharged with the rank of corpor-
al. He came to America from his
native city of Argos as an migrant
boy when h us about II years of
age.
In addition to its large list of
Greek depositors the bank has many
stockholders of that nationality.
There is considerable business
transacted between the Eank of

from many of the radio dealers in

One dealer who has been selling
upward of 50 Majestic consoles each

to residents Of his neighborhood who
have bought the radio with money
sawed for their yearly vacation.

SAYS, must necessarily budget his

from saying that any person who votes
against me simply because OF my re-
ligion Is not, to my way OF thinking,
good citizen.
Let me remind the Democrats of
this country that we belong to the party
of that Thomas Jefferson. whose proud
est boast was that he was the author
of the Virginia statute for religious
freedom. Let me remind the citizens
of every political faith that that statute
of religious freedom has become a part
of the sacred heritage of our land.

THE constitutional guaranty that
there should be no religious test for pub
lie office is not a mere form of words.
1t represents the greatest guarantee OF
liberty that was ever given any people.
attack those who seek to undermine IT.
not only because l am a good Chris
tan. but because am a good American
and product of America and of Amer
lean institutions. Everything / am,
and everything l hope to be. I owe to
those institutions The absolute sepa-
ration of state and church is part of
the fundamental basis of our Consti-
tuition. l believe in that separation in
all that it implies. That belief must
be a part of the fundamental faith of
every true American.
Let the people of this country de-
eide this election upon the great and
real issues of the campaign and upon
nothing else.
For instance you nave all heard or
read my Omaha speech on farm relief.
Read the Democratic platform on farm
relief, compare my speech and that plat
form plank with the platform plank OF
the Republican party and the attitude of
Mr. Hoover so that you may decide for
yourselves which of the two parties or
the two candidates, according to their
spoken declarations. are best calculated
to solve the problem that is pressing the
people of this country for solution. BY a
study of that you will be conserving the
interest of the cotton growers of the
State and promoting its general pros
perity.
Take by attitude on the development
of our natural water power resources
Take the Democratic platform and with
Mr. Hoover's attitude and record on the
same subject, and find out from which
of the two parties you can get and
which of the two candidates you can
look forward with any degree of hope
for the development of these resources
under the control and ownership of the
people themselves rather than t heir
alienation for private profit and for pri-
Vate gain.
Confident Of Outcome.
Compare the Democratic platform
with the Republican platform and Mr.
