Little Profit In
Robbers Loot

AS some measure of consolation
for his own loss, J. II. Foster today
may find some pleasure in the
thought that the robber who re-
lieved him Of his pocketbook last
night found himself in possession
Of two checks, on which payment
has been stopped, and a promis-
sorry note for Sl60 which is of no
earthly use TO the bandit.
The hold-up man got no cash,
and there is only the barest chance
that he can pass the checks, drawn
by S. Peters. One is for s18 and
one for s2l.
Foster. who sleeps in an automo-
bile at the rear Of 462 Brighton
avenue, returned 70 his car about
9 o'clock last night when the rob-
Der threatened him with a large
calibre revolver and demanded his
pocketbook. Foster complied with
the demand, later reporting the
robbery to the police.
The victim said the same man
looked into the automobile Thurs
day night, after Foster had re-
tired, but departed without caus-
ing any trouble. The robber is
about 25 years old.

Treated Seed
Good Insurance

That treated seed is good insur-
ance for a stand Of lettuce planted
in hot weather was brought out at
yesterdays meeting Of lettuce grow
ers held at the J. (. Black ranch
near Calexico.
Frank Beyschlag. farm advisor, in
reporting the meeting, states that
treated seed will not give better
results under all circumstances. To
begin with, the seed must be good
seed for treated seed with low. orr
ginal terminating ability will not
give a good stand.
In the majority Of cases, treated
seed, when planted in cool weather
will not show as great an improve
ment over untreated seed as will
that planted under warmer weather
conditions.
Results at the Black ranch show
that under weather conditions like
those prevailing at this season. seed
which has undergone the refriger-
alton treatment. will produce a bet
ter stand than untreated seed.

Farmer and George Forester; Of
ficers' Reserve corps; drum and
bugle corps, Roy Davis; riot squa-
dron, Charles Delp; hospital sec
ton, DR.. o. H Van Eman.
The riot squadron and hospital
section are organized to assist in
any emergency that might arise in
Ell Centre. The first is armed and
equipped with no expense to the
taxpayers and is drilled so as to
augment the local police force if
required. The hospital section is
provided with equipment to rem
der aid in case of disaster such as
earthquake, fire or rioting.
An open meeting of the Legion
will be held at the conclusion of
the parade, at which the officers
of Holtville and Westmorland
posts will be installed with a color
full military ceremony, to which
the public is invited.
Free Dance Offered
Following the installation cere-
monies, the post will be host at
free dance, one of the detectives
of community service being to pro-
vide entertainment to the people
of FL Centre.
Our object in parading," Wood
bury stated lis to show the peo-
pie of FL Centre that we are ready
to serve our community if need
requires it. We invite the attend
ance of the public at Memorial
hall, following the parade, to see
cur installation ceremony and to
be our guests at the free dance.
I'VE are not asking, nor intend
ing to ask, anything of the pub
lie. During the summer baseball
games have provided them with
wholesome entertainment. at little
or no cost. We hope to do some
thing along the same lines during
the winter months. Few have
much money for .amusements just
now, and the Legion gang hopes
through its efforts to repay some
of the many thoughtful things the
community has done for us in the
past.
THE programs will be announc-
ed from time to time. Having lit
tie or no funds ourselves we can't
offer big time vaudeville or elab-
crate balls but we feel that the
boys can dig up plenty in the way
of wholesome amusement for young
and old and help folks get their
minds off their troubles now and
then"

DRIVE AGAINST

+ this country. They have never
been renewed. and have ceased to
be regarded as a danger TO the ma
tional monetary position
Two factors were regarded by
fiscal officials as perhaps attribut-
ing to the present weakness of the
dollar on foreign exchange:
/. The presence of an election
market, which may have influ-
enced foreigners to liquidate before
a possible change III admlniStra-
ton and,
2. The possible unfortunate In
depreciation" of President Hoover's
recent speech in which he stated the
United States al one time stood in
danger of being forced off the gold
standard by a combination of for
eign attacks and domestic hoard
ing.
PARIS, Oct. 8.-U.P)-A new
drive, against the American dollar
gained further Roadway here to-
day, and selling spread to the pound
sterling.
The press attributed the selling
to President Hoover's Des Moines
speech.
The dollar was quoted at 25,43
francs, against a previous close of
2545 francs. The pound at its new
low was at $3.50 francs.
Pressure came not only from
French sellers, but from Belgian
and Dutch. France, Belgium and
Holland are the principal gold hold
ers of Europe.
The financial editor of the Paris
Midi. Al Jeune, said:
Without doubt Hoover provoked
this uneasiness. The President re-
yealed to the masses the dollar
nearly crashed and thereby excited
retrospective fear. Instead of re-
storing confidence, President Hoo
yer obtains an inverse result"
NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-U.P)-For-
eign exchange quotations advanced
against the American dollar in the
early trading here today. The
French franc moved up to 3.93A
cents a franc, gain of z point
over the previous close and within
a short distance of the level at
which it would be profitable for
France to take gold from this coun-
try.
The pound sterling rose to
s3.453s, up 7-l6 cent; Swiss francs,
1899 cents, up points, and Dutch
Guilders 40.35 cents, up 5 points
Belgian Belgas were unchanged at
1892 cents.
Some authorities here looked for
a cessation of the inflow of gold
TO this country. Since June Is when
the trend Of gold shipments was re-
versed, the United States monetary
gold stock has been increased by
s292, 100000.

Apparently deadlocked over de-

Government employees, the Senate

Only a few noncontroversial
amendments to the economy bill

GUS controversial and more i'm
portant matters, including the
15-day leave of absence provi-
sion, various cuts in executive

RA|NEY URGES
SALES TAX

The manufacturers excise tax
proposal was revived in Congress
today as a result of President
Hoover's disclosure that $50, 0,O00,-
900 to $2OO,OOO,OoO is needed to
balance the budget.
Representative Rainey of Illi-
nois, Democratic House leader,
said the only way the situation
could be met is by substituting the
manufacturers sales tax for the
many miscellaneous taxes in the
$1,118, 100000 bin recently passed.
Representative Crisp CD of
Georgia, acting chairman, of the
Ways and Means Committee. how
ever, spurned all suggestions Tor
additional taxes, saying the deficit
must be made up by rigid econ
omy.
Crisp called the committee into
session to consider a mistake in
the tax bill which may cost the
Government $40,OOO,000 to $780,
100000. A Senate amendment
providing that the tax on auto
mobiles bought on the installment
plan would not be paid until the
last inStallment is made was put
in the wrong place in the bill.
