GOOD VALUE

Twelve years ago the Marsh Dry
Cleaners filled a need-for first class
dry cleaning. Much OF the better
class work was going out of the VAL

sonnel, equipment and method has
kept abreast with the growing needs
OF the Valley.
Prices now are much less than a
few years ago. And yet this is only
part of the better cleaning value Of

now must not only be clean; but
they must be odorless. perfectly and

The Mexican officers displayed

Another discovery made by the

the visiting officers discussed with
LEGAL players the time and place OF
the first game between MeXicah
and FL Centre. 1t was decided that
the first of two game Will be played
here. possibly al the county fair
grounds. and that another game
will be played later in MeXical.
No definite date was set for the
contest, the Mexicans still lacking
equipment.
This will be received within
few days, they said. When the
border team receives equipment
nothing will stand in the way of a
definite date for the game.
Those accompanying Major Lopez
from MeXical yesterday were Cap

One factor that will add greatly
TO the FL Centre strength Is the
fact that the locals are now better

was one of the big factors in the
Ell Centre defeat.

TENNIS BUNS
DRAW FR0WNS
OF ASSOCIATION
BY DIXON STEWART
+nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 2. U.P-
With hope of winning the Davis
cup temporarily abandoned, the
United States Lawn Tennis ASsoci-
alton has turned its attention to the
elimination of the tennis bum"
Tennis buns, athletes who are
enabled to live luxuriously without
working and to spend their time
travelling about the country playing
tennis on expense account money
without forfeiting their amateur
standing, are a product OF tennis
over-emphaSis.
While the United States domi-
mated Davis cup competition the
tennis buns escaped official at
tention. Tournament promoters
bid against each other for star
players and until the U. S. L. T. A.
established a S25 per day limit for
the living expenses of players
during Journeys it was possible for
players to name their own prices
for playing.
Now that Tilden has turned pro-
fessional and Johnny Doeg and
Wilmer Allison have indicated they
will be unavailable for European
play, the United States has virtu-
ally no chance of regaining the
Davis cup this year and the U. S.
L. T. A. considers the time auspicu-
Gus for house cleaning.
The tennis association has an
nounced it's opposition to players
receiving unlimited free board and
lodging" in exchange for partici-
patton in Journeys under its jur-
isdiction and has instructed the
amateur rule committee to investi-
gate and report to the executive
board its recommendations as to
whether expense payments should
be more definitely controlled and
how such expenses may be limited
to a reasonable extent

JONES' PICTURE
BY RONALD w. WAGNER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March O.
UP)-Robert Tyre Jones, the worlds
premier golfer, was in Hollywood
today ready to do what he can
through the movies to keep his
countrymen out of the bunkers and
sand traps next summer.
Jones arrived yesterday to make
u short pictures for Warner Broth
ers ON the subject, How I Play
Golf"
The studio plans to complete the
series within six weeks and the
golfers and would-be golfers of the
country can have the Jones inStruc-
ton for the price of theatre ticket
Just about the time the golf season
OF 1881 starts in earnest in the snow
belt.
Jones was sure of one thing, that
there will be no romantic element
in his pictures.
He shifted nervously when re-
porter asked him if he desired his
leading lady TO come from the
blonde, brunette or red-headed
groups of film beauties.
They couldn't get me to play in
one Of those love pictures he said.
I'm going TO stick to something I
know a little about
The first picture will be about
putting" Jones explained. They
will be designed as instructive. yet
they won't be so complicated that
a non-golfer cannot understand
them. The first one will open with
fellow on the green. When he
misses a putt I will kid him about
II and tell him he needs more prac-
tice. Then I'll give him little in
struction."

took second place, after a brilliant
fight to move up from third.
Reams of FL Centre wrecked the
mile record in a beautiful race,

prices were quoted lower in late Feb
ruary. The reduced consumer demand
and mill accumulation of stocks were
the major weakening influences. Lin
seed meal prices averaged lower. The
slow demand for other feedstuffs and
the recent decline in corn weakened the
market for corn by-product feeds. Glu-
ten feed prices held steady but gluten
meal declined 50 per ton at most mar
ketS. Thfs reduced the spread between
feed and meal to between So and So

Falls Off.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 25.-The curb
exchange, after opening strong and
actively today slowed its pace and
turned somewhat irregular. This slight
recession, however, failed to check
numerous stocks from scoring new
highs in the forenoon.
Among the leaders, Electric Bond g.
Share was inclined to softneSs. Amer
lean Cities Power & Light B. Central
States Electric and United Light &
Power A registered new highs for the
year. Cities Service was comparatively
inactive and fractionally lower.
The group of securities popularity
referred to as investment trusts fea-
tured the forenoon session, which in
volume was about Is per cent below
the same period Tuesday. All types of
trusts, from the. trading, holding and
finance companies to the management
trusts, shared in this upSwing.
The huge opening of Transamerica
Corporation over on the big board fur
nished a general stimulus to trust is

ing, Prudential Investors, Shenandoah
Corporation preferred. Securities Cor
poration general, Selected Industries,
Utilities Industrial and Tobacco and
Allied Stocks, Inc, were whirled to
record heights in early dealings.
Some of these movements quite APP
parently were based on earnings of
these companies, but many of the gains
were merely a belated recognition of
the general market advance. Some of
the specialized trusts have barely
budged, while the securities in their
portfolios have gained from 10 to IS
per cent marketwise in the last fort
night.
