CHAMBER PLANS
TREE PLANTING
CAMPAIGN HERE

Mrs. j. S. Jones, chairwoman OF
the chamber of commerce tree
planting committee, is bully engag-
ed in pans for a tree-planting
campaign to be inaugurated about
the first of the year, which is to be
connected with the national move
ment to plant trees in commemora-
ton of the 200th anniversary of the
birth of George Washington.
Arrangements are being made for
nursery supply of trees which
would be the best adapted to the
Ell Centres streets. 1t may be nee
essary to establish a nursery to pro-
duce sufficient trees for all Of Ell
Centros thoroughfares.
One of the most generally favor
ed is the. Palo Verde, native OF
the southwestern desert, which has
proven itself well adapted to high
way planting in the reclaimed des-
ert. There are many specimens OF
these trees on the streets Of Ell Gen.
tro already, and the Palo Verde is
meeting with more general favor
than any other tree. 1t has an in
teresting history. Except in the
southwest it is called Jerusalem
Thorn" and its botanical name is
Parkinsonia Aculeata. The seed,
which originated in the California
desert. has been sent to all parts of
the world, and in the warmer clim-
ates it is one of the most popular
species grown. In some places 1t
is known as Barbados Flower
Fence because of its adaptability
for hedge planting.
The committee plans to district
the city and to induce owners
wherever possible to put out the
trees in the parking where they
are missing. The nonresident own
ers will be addressed with the re-
quest that they forward a sum suf-
ficient to permit the purchase of the
trees. In most cases the city will
be equipped to irrigate the trees by
means of standpipes in the parking
spaces.
It is believed that the schools of
the city will cooperate in the plant
ing. and that there may be one
great Arbor Day in FL Centro. when
the entire city will be planted to
trees of one kind.

Bakery Beaten
By Studebaker

Once again the league leading
Studebakers were victorious last
night when a patched up Cramer
Bakery team failed to put up
enough opposition to halt the march
of the automobilists, who won IA
to 8.
Hurst was hit harder than usual,
and was bothered with wildness.
Poor support behind Lott, Bakery
pitcher, had much to do with his
teams defeat.
Magyar hit safely four times for
the winners. Priest, Neeley and
Steinwinder solved Hursts delivery
for two hits each. Austin and Lee
hit homers for the Studebakers
while Priest made one for Cramers.

In four years of high school COM

Uncle Wiggily had gone for a ride
in his auto, or his "pullomobile,
as Baby Bunty, Jingle and Jangle
called it because they held on be-
hind and were pulled along. Uncle
Wiggily had caught them at it and
had told them they must not do
such a thing for they might get
hurt. He had driven off, thinking
the rabbit children would mind. But
he had not gone far, as told you
in last nights story, before he
heard behind him the whirr of roller
skate wheels again. He knew what
had happened.

Itching, bleeding, protruding piles

Those little tykes waited until
sat at the steering wheel with
my back toward them and then
they just hooked on again and let
me pull them on their rollers" said
the rabbit to himself. Il can tell
without looking, by the noise their
rollers make, that they are hitching
on again. told them another car
might come up behind and bump
them, but that didn't seem to scare
I them. Now, what can l do to make
them know it is dangerous to play
this way? What can I do?'
All of sudden Uncle Wiggily
looked ahead, down the road, and
he saw puddle of water. 1t wasn't
a very big puddle, nor very deep.
In fact, it was just the right kind
of a puddle for what he was going
to do. Mr.. Longears laughed and
twinkled his pink nose when he saw
it.
Now for a splashy rlde!' chuck
led the bunny gentleman.
His auto, or pullomobile as the
children called it, was still rolling
along slowly. Uncle Wiggily had
not stopped it when he heard, be-
hind him, the whirr of the roller
skate wheels and knew the children
were hitching on, though he had
begged them not to. So all the
while he was thinking of playing a
trick by splashy ride, the car was
slowly moving. Behind, holding
fast by their front paws, while on
their hind paws were roller skates
Jingle, Jangle and Baby Bunty were
having what they thought was a
dandy ride.
Its just wonderful" said Baby
Bunty.
Grand" said Jingle.
And so excitingl' exclaimed jan
gle. Il don't believe anything will
happen like what Daddicums said.
NO" agreed her sister, he just
said that to score us"
Il wish Unkie Wig would make
his pullomobile go faster, though, y
said Baby Bunty. Il like to ride
fast"
$50 do t. said Jingle. 1T makes
your paws feel so funny when you
roll fast over little bumps in the
road"
And it's so much easier to be
pulled along on roller skates than
it is to push out with your legs and
ride yourself" said Jangle.
The little rabbit children thought
they were having grand time. But,
really, as Uncle Wiggily had told
them, it was dangerous fun. Now
he was going to show them why on
this splashy ride.
Nearer and nearer he steered his
auto to the mud puddle. 1t was in
the middle of the road, but though
Uncle Wiggily could see it. the bun
ny girls could not. For they were
close up behind the auto and you
can't see through the back of an
auto, unless you're up on the seat
and look through the glass win
dow.
So Jingle, Jangle and Baby Bun
| ty, not knowing anything about the
| puddle they were coming to, held
on and laughed as their wheeled
| skates rolled along. Uncle Wiggily
drove straight for the puddle and
before they could let go those three,
rather bad little rabbit girls were
dragged right through the middle
/ of the water and mud.
OH" cried Baby Bunty, as she
| felt the water around her ankles,
for it was deep enough to cover her
| skates.
"Oh! Oh! What happened?" cried
Jingle, as she felt the muddy water
around her feet.
This is terrible! Look at mel"
cried Jangle for she had been pulled
through the deepest part of the
puddle and some of the water and
| mud had splashed up on her nose

south part of the city, where many cit
liens have spent thousands of dollars
building homes as fine as those to be
found in any American city of similar
size.
At the time Road District No. 2 estab-
lished its stable and workshop out in the
southwest corner of the city, it did not
seriously interfere with anyone else.
Since then that section has been built up
and for the past two or three years the
citizens and their families residing there
have borne the nuisance with better grace
than some of us would.
On these hot summer days, having a
stable within stones throw of ones
house cannot be called a pleasing situa-
tion by any stretch of the imagination.
And there is little, if any relief at night.
Residents of the section tell us it is really
worse at night for there is usually
breeze from the west which keeps them in
formed that there are such things as
horses in this mechanical world.
Maybe something can be done about
it. Perhaps the supervisor can be induc-
ed to move the yard elsewhere. We are
not certain that such a request has been
made, though we think it has been. 1t
might be that it could be moved by law,
for there must be some sort of health or
dinance that could be invoked. 1t is not
only the smells, but the flies, the flies,
the everlasting flies.
One resident of the section informs us
that they are all good lawabiding Ameri-
can citizens, but that the smells and the
flies are gradually making first-class
Communists and anarchists out of them.
And Communists and anarchists get des-
perate every now and then. Maybe they
will get desperate too. Quien sabe?

The monument will be modelled after
