VERDE:
TREES |: NEED
PROPER CARE.

Now is the time to give special
attention to the palo verde trees
which lave been placed in the park
ways of city streets during the FL
Centro Chamber of Commerce tree
planting campaign, according to
Mrs j. S. Jones, chairman of the
tree planting committee of the 10
cal chamber. If the trees are 20
make their best growth during the
late winter and spring months they
should have attention at this time
before the colder weather sets in,
Mrs. Jones states.
Through the El Centro chamber
5000 palo verde trees have been set
cut in Ell Centro in the past two
years. Many Of these trees will be
large enough to bloom next May.
Mrs. Jones states that the chamber
has been unable to get large guam
titles Of palo verde trees for distri-
button this year as in the past years
and cannot supply trees for replant-
ing or early spring planting as for
merly. ut is therefore necessary -
sats Mrs. Jones, that all present
living trees be carefully cared for as
it will not be possible to set re-
placements in large amounts, a.
though individual trees may be plu-
chased at the local nurseries"
This is the time for spading up
the ground around the trees, Mrs.
Jones states. The ground Shouid
be spaded and carefully broken up
and returned around the trees for
protection. Very little water is ne
cessary during the cold weather,
merely enough to keep the trees
alive. The trees should also be
pruned at this time in order that
they may be properly shaped to
make growth during the spring and
summer, when growth is very rapid
and pruning is difficult.
In preparation for winter winds
the palo verde trees should be
Strengthened and tied. Small trees
may be tied to a pole and held in
place. Larger trees should have al
iron pipe placed in the ground and
the trees tied to the pipe with q
soft rope which will not cut. III
connection with the cutting of trees
by ropes, Mrs. Jones states that
some trees have been cut into the
ropes until it is impossible t9 re-
move the ropes. It is a good plan,
she states, to move the ropes often

N0ONSHINERS
NOT AIDED BY
LAWS REPEAL

WASHINGTON Nov. 30. (U.D =
The Volstead Act and the Jones
law may fail with repeal, but that
Eill not lightoH the lot of the moon-
sinner and the bootlegger.
Since taxes first were imposed
on alcoholic beverages drastic PEN
allies nave been provided for those
who sought TO evade them. A
sizeable chapter in American his
tory might be written about the
efforts to abolish the illicit manu-
fscture of liquor.
Wien the Volstead Act was
passed the penalties purposely
we're made low in the hope that
enforcement might be easier. The
maximum penalty was fixed at one
year in Jail. Lighter sentences
were provided for transportation,
sale or possession.
These penalties failed to prevent
bootlegging and soon were found to
be inadequate. Prosecutors resorted
to the conspiracy laws, carrying
with them a maximum penalty o.
two years in Jail and fines up to
$4,000.
Resort to Old Law
When the difficulties of proving
conspiracy became apparent prose-
cutters attempted 10 resort to the
old internal revenue laws and the
laws AGAINST smuggling. The courts
as a rule, however, found that such.
offonses came under the prohibition
laws, the Volstead Act having SUI
perseded them.
Congress then passed the So
called Jones Five and Ten law,
which allowed penalties up to five
years in Jail and a $4,000 fine for
commercial violators This caused
/ resentment in many parts of the
country. Law enforcement officials
found it difficult 10 obtain convlc-
tiors.
With repeal prosecutions again
will be under the internal revenue
laws with heavy penalties.
In addition the old Webb-Ken-
yon Act prohibiting the transpor-
tation of alcoholic beverages from
vet states into dry states also will
j again become operative Likewise
will the Reed amendment, which
prohibits the shipment of liquor
advertising into dry states.

she had refused to give him money.
The suspension of sentence is for
six months.
T. Inman was given a sentence of
SIS or 712 days in Jail on his plea
of guilty to a drunkenness charge.
Dick Berry and Fred Lee pleaded
guilty to charges of drunkenness
and disturbing the peace They were
each fined $40. Julius Vrana entered

battery and disturbance of the
peace and his case was continued

limits was the result of careful
planning and steady driving, which
eliminated the necessity for excess

WIDE: VARIETY
Of GIF TS At
WESTERN AUTO

HBuy Christmas gifts now, while
prices are still low and stocks offer
a wide variety from which to
choose advises j. A. Hall, local
manager of the Western Auto Sup
ply company. This timely sugges-
tion is made in view of the tend
ency of retail prices to rise as high
er wage scales force costs upwardly
and give more families the pros
pect of a happy Christmas.
because a gift for the car is so
excellent a reminder Of the giver S
thoughtfulness, automobile acceS-
sories have become increasingly
popular as Christmas presents, -
states Hail.
"Gifts of every conceivable kind
are included in the automotive Off
erings featured this Christmas by
the Western Auto stores. These
gifts run the entire gamut of things
both useful and ornamental; things
that can be selected by those un-
used to motoring needs as well as
experienced auto owners. There is
such a varied display of equipment
that it should be an easy matter
to choose a suitable gift to please
any car oWner,' he added.
Included on the automotive gift
list are many things which cover
a wide range of price. Such ac-
ceptable things as Motorola all
electric car radios, sets of West
ern Giant tires, Hollywood seat
covers, car heaters and new type
electric horns would be pleasant
surprise to the car owner. And
among the less expensive items
electric cigar lighters, driving
gloves, radiator ornaments, cush-
ions, clocks and mirrors are very
appropriate gifts.
"The gift exchange card that
has proved SO helpful to Christmas
purchasers in the past by Western
Auto, will be used again this
Christmas. With this card in the
package it is not necessary for the
buyer to know the make or model
of the car for which it is intended
as the merchandise selected can be
exchanged by the recipient at any
one of the more than $50 Western
Auto stores'', explained Hall.

expressed the hope that, through the

which will bring confidence to all hu-

States"
No real progress can be made, he
declared, without "the free. loyal col
laboration of the three great democra-
cies, the United States, England and
France" He urged a common effort
by all peoples to combat nationalism
and unite on a common economic and
financial program"
Mr.. Edge, making his last public
appearance as Ambassador, warned
against European misunderstanding of
the principles guiding American foreign
policy, regardless Of the men who come
and go in public office.
There is tendency" said he, ito
conjure up phantom images which fail
to correspond with the facts"
Presumably alluding to the debt ques-
tion, he said the sanctity of contracts
was the keystone Of American policy.

he declared, that treaty is a solemn

Senate committee made q gross addi-

of making the net Senate increase In

The Senate committee not only put
