ESSAY CONTEST
DUE TO CLOSE
NEXT MONDAY

There arc just four more days
for the grammar school children of
III Centre to turn in their essays
on the palo verde tree" states
Mrs. j. g. Jones, chairman of the
tree planting committee of the Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce.
"These essays must all be handed
or mailed in, with the writer's name
and address on them, on or before
Monday, February %. Prizes for
the three best essays will be award
ed as soon as the tree planting
committee can read the essays and
decide which are the prize winners
The prizes are SO, So and ST."
This essay contest is being con-
Quoted by Mrs. Jones committee in
order that information may be COM
piled on the palo verde tree, its
history, origin and any other de-
tails of interest to Ell Centro, where
the palo verde tree has been adopt
ed for residential planting because
of its adaptability to soil condi-
tions here and its general fitness
for desert community planting.
Almost 1000 palo verde trees will
have been planted on Ell Centros
residential streets by February %,
which is the contribution of the
people of this community, cooper
ating with the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce, to the nationwide
tree planting celebration commem-
Grating the 200th anniversary Of
the birth of George Washington.
Mrs. Jones states she still has some
palo verde trees left for city street
planting and urges any persons in
tereSted in setting these tres out
to do SO before February %.
From the information gathered
through the essays of Ell Centro's
grammar school children, complete
information will be compiled by the
Ell Centre Chamber of Commerce,
to be used at a later date in con-
nection with palo verde festival.
Several persons familiar with pa
geant forms are now interested in
such festival and it is expected
that, when the palo verde trees
have grown, the palo verde festival
will be an annual Ell Centro affair,
held in the spring Of the year
when these trees are covered with
their brilliant blooms.

his demand for retrenchment, re-
duction and slashes become most
emphatic"
Commenting on the per capita
figures quoted, the report stated:
1T is apparent that the entire re-
ducible tax could be wiped out, the
city closed. police, fire, sewer and
street departments discharged in
their entirety, without materially
affecting the average income. On
the other hand, the additional men
thrown out of employment, the
cessation of municipal purchases
and the lack of governmental pro-
lection and control would plunge
the city into chaos, resulting in
greatly increased poverty and
misery and the disruption of all
values"
Urges Conservation
Although in his report knights
expressed himself as in favor of
consistent reductions, he also eX-
pressed the conviction any panic
stricken SlasheS should be avoided,
and all such proposed measures
should be considered carefully in
order that the proposed saving will
not prove a greater disaster than
blessing.
ut is not contended, of course,
that reductions should not be
made" he report said. "Reduc-
tions should and will be made,
Reduction in the cost of materials
will be reflected and reductions in
wages and salaries should be made
consistent with the decline in costs
of living. 1t is evident that any
consistent wage or salary reduc-
ton will reflect little in lower
taxes. Taxes can be lowered ma
terially only by the elimination of
departments and service"
Commenting on the discharge of
men now employed by the city,
and wage slashes, Knights said:
1T is my belief that all other gov
ernmental agencies should follow
the lead of the national govern
ment and lend its efforts to put
money to work and halt slashes,
retrenchments and reductions, to
the end that values may become
stabilized"
Ending his comment on taxes
and tax reductions, the city cngi-
ncer said: THE need for level
headednesS and firmness of pur-
pose in directing municipal affairs
at this time is of more than usual
importance"

most puzzling. But never yet
have I read an answer to my
problem, yet it is one of the
commonest, and some day some
body must find an answer. This
is my case, and I am putting it
up to you and your world"
I'm thirty-three, in splendid
health. It's tiresome to "press

I'm told, not hard to look at.

However, it is my professional,
not my personal, status which
is making the trouble. I'm a
private secretary. I started
work at nineteen and have now
advanced to a very good posi-
tion. I am employed by pleas.

am I taking a job from anyone.
I am forced to support myself

In short. I occupy exactly

If a young man occupied my
position he could proceed to
round out the personal side of

her, start a home and family

U. s. Made Poland,
Yet Poland Defaults

Most of us prefer to think
that there is an understand
ing between France and
Belgium, and that the latter
would prefer to join France
now in a reconsideration of
the action no one now
thinks wise or lOng-headed.
And so with Poland. To
no country on earth is
Poland so much indebted as
to the United States. It
was Woodrow Wilson s SEN
sational speech to the Sen
ate, long before we entered
the war, which made the
claims of Poland to nation
ality and self-determination
one of the issues {" the war.
From the moment that
speech was made, no one
doubted seriously that the
success of the allies would
mean Polish nationality and
independence. That is the
reason there is An imposing
statue of Woodrow Wilson
in Warsaw.
But Poland feels, whether
justly or not, that she must
be heavily armed against
prospective foes. She still
has her troubles with Ger
many because of the "corri-
DOR and just beyond lies
brooding Russia. To main
tain the heavy armament
she does she haC. to ask
loans, and France had the
money to loan. Along with
the loan went some such
relationship as that between
France and Belgium.
The default of France
cannot be disassociated from
that of Poland, my more
than from that of Belgium
Thus France cannot es-
cape a heavy responsibility
in these defaults.
