1.-THE German Grand Opera Cam-
pcny has come and gone, trailing
Z clouds of musical glory and leaving
few lessons In its wake. The COM
rany did bring sensitive and srm-
athletic performances, by excellent
artists and an efficient orchestra, of
music dramas that rank indisputably
among the supreme artistic achieve
ments of the race, and so we have
been enriched by presentations that
would be exceptional in any circum-
stances and which made the past
week memorable.
! The size and enthusiasm Of the
/ audiences leaves no possible doubt
/ that such performances should be
+ made a regular feature Of the
/ musical season here. s
! Excellent judgment was displayed
/ in combining the repertoire to the
|, four mighty music dramas Of "The
| Eibelungen Ring" and Tristan und
Isolde"
After the brutal reviews that had
appeared In certain New York news
papers during the preliminary en-
gagement of the company there,
many subscribers for THE Ring"
series and Tristan" here went ! in
I fear and anxious apprehension lest
\ the performances prove to be CHASTITY
\ traveStieS of the mighty works sched-
uled. 1t was all the more refresh
/ ing, consequently. to find that these
music dramas were given with taste
and intelligence. and an increasingly

I lightful too were the beautiful and
delicate cloud effects and the clear
! blue sky was refreshing. It will be
pleasant prospect to have these
gorgeous offerings made annual

Junior Chamber
Decides On Sign
TO Boost City

Tourists will know this city in the
future as the result of action at this
mornings breakfast meeting Of the
Junior chamber of commerce. 1t was
voted to erect beautiful sign bear
ing the legend "El Centro' in
opalescent glass letters "a inches
high. The proposed sign is to be
20 feet long and four feet wide, ac-
cording to specifications Of plans
drawn up recently by members Of a
special committee appointed to go
into the matter At night the sign
will be lighted up and will be visible
for many blocks in each direction.
II will be erected on East Main street
at the entrance to this city. The
Junior chamber will finance the pro-
ject.
Much informal discussion was held
relative TO the erection of a column
sign at the west entrance to FL Cen
tro. j. c. Neale, city clerk and pres
ident of the Lions Club, gave an in
teresting talk on work so far ac-
complished by that organization on
the proposed erection of the Neon
lighted column. Members Of the
Junior chamber felt that thc project
was too large to enter upon at the

of the suspended sign on the east

DEVIL GRASS
OFTEN TAKEN
FOR BERMUDA

Among the collection of seeds of
plants found in Imperial Valley
which is on exhibition at the horti-
cultural commissioner office are
the seeds of bermuda and devil
grass, commonly supposed TO be on"
and the same thing.
The interesting thing abous these
grasses, according to j. B. Norton,
is that even botanists recognize lit
tie distinction between them. Both
belong to the bermuda family but
the devil weed is a thousand times
more harmful than bermuda. The
distinction even between the seeds
is noticeable, lying in size aud color,
and the full grown plants may be
readily distinguished by the bios
sons, the bermuda having a purpliNh
one and the devil grass, green. 50
distinct are these plants, declared
Norton, that they will grow side by
side and no common hybridization
viii take place.
Many boatloads of these grasses
are being shipped from the south
west states. and due To failure to
recognize the difference between
devil grass and bermuda, and care
lessness in collecting the seed, devil
grass is being shipped to Australia
and other parts of the world Whcr"
il will become pest.
Bermuda is used both for pasture
and for lawns. but is not very salts
factory as it is not only pestifcrouS
weed but carries thrips, tiny insects
which do a great deal Of damage TO
the grapefruit and cantaloupc crops.
Norton maintains that there are
other grasses much more satisfac-
tory for the purposes for which bcr-
muda is now used, but which are I'M
known to the majority of people.
The horticultural commissioner Of
flee had at one time some grass
from China which is much more sat
isfactory and which can be obtained
without great difficulty.
Among the damage done by ber-
muda is that Of causing hay fever, it
being the greatest factor Of amy
causing that ailmcnt in the valley.

TRADING IS HEAVY
ON BOND MARKET
A. T. & T. Convertible Again
Take Leadership-0ther
Issues Strong.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

NEW YORK, August 1.-THE leader
ship Of the bond market was taken
again today by American Telephone g.
Telegraph convertibleS, which before
midday had extended their previous
gain by points. They opened points
higher, or above 200, and quickly ad-
vanced to 202. The low price since
they were first traded in two months
ago was 1917.
The volume of transactions in them
was heavy. and, as in the case OF
American Telephone stock, the supply
appeared to be limited, with the bonds
steadily working higher and with no
sign of much profit taking. Interna-
tional Telephone 4iaS were also in
good demand at an advance of 3 points.
A switch from them into the American
convertible i2s when both were selling
at parity short time ago would have
realized profit today of 35 points.
Other convertibles that were higher
were Atchison convertible 4l2S, up a
point. Southern Pacific AIS, Reming-
ton Rand s. IS and General Public and
Lautaro 6s showed small changes.
There were no distinctive movements
in the mortgage issues. although they
held remarkably steady in view of the
continued high rates for money.
A recovery of one-quarter to point
in Japanese bonds was the feature Of
the foreign group. The Government
IS advanced point to par but reacted,
with Toxic Electric 6S and Yokohama
6s both fi-mer. italian Government
Is, French rs and 7l2s and some of the
German issues exhibited moderate
strength.
The extension for another two weeks
in the time for depositing Seaboard
Air Line securities had no effect on
Seaboard issues.
New bond offerings this week have
been small. with the total affected by
the absence of municipals, which in the
previous week represented the major
portion Of all of the financing negoti-
ated.
