EXPERT URGES
VALLEY MOVIES
FOR ADVERTISING

National advertising of Imperial
Valley through moving pictures
was advocated by DR.. Jay Keeler
of the faculty of the American In
stitute of Visual Education, in an
address given to the members of
the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce at luncheon yesterday. In
explanation of his choice of moving
pictures as an advertising medium,
Doctor Keeler explained that ma
tional advertising by printed page
is very expensive and that word
of-mouth advertising will only ac-
compliSh one particular phase of
advertising, while moving picture
advertising may be indirect and
inexpensive, while still being
effective.
THE purpose of advertising, 3
stated the speakers, "is to tell
where you are, why you are there,
what you have for sale, why you
have it and why others should buy
1T. Advertising and education are
more or less the same and in edu-
cational pictures, for which there
is steady demand, Imperial VAL
ley could be advertised indirectly.
1t is easy to get ones voluntary
attention, but to hold the involun-
tary attention can be accomplished
only by constant change. The mo-
ton picture holds the involuntary
attention of an audience because
there is constant change, all Sc
quence is arranged, the thinking
is done and the audience has to
put forth no mental effort. At a
result, advertising done through
this medium holds the attention
and leaves an impression"
Doctor Keeler told of visiting
Clark county, New, where S3O,OOO,-
600 of gold had been mined in 40
years, record of which that COM
munity is proud. He then spoke
OF his amazement at learning that
Imperial county produces twice
that amount annually in crops and
stated that the purpose of adver-
tising this community should be to
| create a greater market for lettuce
and cantaloupes and to attract
winter feeding stock to this
county. He suggested educational
pictures on Boulder dam, on irri-
cation and other subjects which
would be in demand, in which I'M
perial county could be brought in
indirectly enough SO the picture
would not be classed as mere pub

JAIL SENTENCE
IMPOSED UPON
TRAFFIC CHARGE

A desire for publicity and traf-
fic ticket, which proved altogether
too successful for r. A. Whitmer,
%, late last week, when he was
sentenced by Judge j. E. Simpson
of the Ell Centro police court to
pay fine of 500 or serve SO days
in jail, still was reacting against
him today when he was committed
to the Jail to serve most of the SO
day sentence.
Whitmer had been released to pay
the fine, and when he failed to do
SO was rearrested and committed
to jail. Before his arrest Whitmer
had asked several Ell Centro Off
GERS for a traffic ticket, saying he
wanted the publicity attendant up
on one.
He was later arrested for reckless
driving, and the heavy sentence
imposed in police court. At the
county Jail today he told the jail
er, he got a dirty deal down
there.
In police court this morning
James Darlington, "a, pleaded
guilty to vagrancy. Sentence will
be passed this afternoon. Jean
Adams, %, forfeited s25 bail when
she failed to appear on vagrancy
charge.
w. Schwartz, %, was sentenced
to 30 days Imprisonment for vag-
rancy, and the sentence suspended
on condition he leave town and
remain away at least four months.

yet bearing, and "a farms have
pears growing on them. Probably
the largest acreage of pear trees
IS on Hays own ranch here, where
there are Is acres in late winter
Nellis.
Plum and prune are not un-
known in this area for % ranches
have total of nearly 1000 trees.
1t is reported that TOT are already
IN bearing. ounces are not a we'll
known fruit in this region, yet
four farms report that they have
between them eight bearing trees,
with five young trees yet to
produce.
One ranch has 200 avocado trees
not yet of bearing age. This ex-
pertinent is watched with much
interest because the adaptability
of this climate to the production
of aVacadoS has been often chal-
lenged. One ranch has Is bearing
citron trees and four land owners
report total of IA jujubes with a
total of six bearing trees and II
not yet matured. The jujube, let
it be stated to the uninitiated, is
something like a date in ap-
pearance.
Imperial Valley may sometime
produce its own cool limeades dur
ing the lazy day of summer be-
cause one far-sighted rancher has
set out IL lime trees not yet old
enough to bear.
The production of nuts in I'm
perial Valley has not been for
gotten. Everyone knows that rather
heavy paintings have been made
of pecans. Much acreage is al
ready in production. Pecans prom
Use to become one of Imperial VAL
ley's major and most profitable
crops and this tree has amply
proven its adaptability to our en-
vironment. However, three farms
have been doing some experiment
| ing in other nuts. One rancher
reports three almond trees, not yet
mature. One land owner has two
ngliSh walnutS already in bearing
! At another place there are four
pistachio trees now producing.
when I first learned about I'M
perial Valley said Hays, they told
me, when I was about to acquire
a ranch and asked what could be
/ produced here, you can grow any
thing in Imperial Valley 1 am
commencing to believe this and tc
think there really is no exception

ducing. I am commencing to be-
lieve that Imperial Valley is truly
capable of producing anything.

CHICAGO TACTICS
USED BY BANDITS
IN ROBBENC men

Calmly threatening the life of
Henry Fisher, 315 Whittier boule-
ward, Monta Bella, with a pistol
while service station attendants
worked only a few yards away, two
men at about o'clock yesterday
afternoon forced Fisher to drive
from Holtville toward Ell Centro,
then north on the Dogwood road,
and robbed him of $40 when they
were joined by third man in a
small car.
According to Fishers report to
the Sheriff's office, only one of the
robber trio threatened him with an
automatic pistol. When the bandits
left him on the Dogwood road, to
drive north toward Brawley, they
allowed Fisher to keep only 81,
License plates had been removed
from the car driven by the third
member of the robbers party, and
the car itself was covered with mud,
Fisher said.
Harold Gillett, investigator, and
Fred Elliott, deputy sheriff, were
assigned to hunt the robbers i'm
mediately after the robbery was re-
ported to the sheriffs office, but
their search disclosed no trace
either of the car or the three men.
In describing the men who first
approached him in Holtville, Fisher
said both were about 80 years old,
and weighed about 140 pounds.
Both wore gray suits. One wore
a hat and the other a gray cap.
He did not furnish a description Of
the third man.
Fisher had stopped at Brown
Brothers service station in Holt
vile yesterday afternoon, and left
his car for a short while. When
he returned he was met by the two
men. Threatening him with the au-
tomato, they informed him they
would ride to Ell Centre with him.

Democrats from all over the val

vile will be in the receiving line.
Imperial county Democrats are in
the lead in registration, according
to County Clerk Ed Laws first in
complete figures and the meeting
Saturday will receive perhaps a
complete report on how the regis
trations stand at present.
Arrangements are being made to
seat 100 guests at the BraWley

There are a lot of other tree

DO you know" the chamber of

have apples growing in Imperial
Valley?" In 1890, seven farms re-
ported that they were growing
