FLOYD STILL
SOUGHT HERE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. IA. UP) -
Search for Charles CPretty Boy
Floyd, notorious southwestern out
law, spread along the California
coast today with reports he was
seen at Ventura, 10 miles north of
here, headed toward San Francisco
The reports were carried in a po-
lice teletype message, urging auth
critics to post sharp watch for the
desperate whose will-o'- -the-wisp
trail had long been crossed by blood
shed and brigandage.
Police Chief William Neel of Ven-
tura notified local police Floyd was
seen there yesterday by boyhood
acquaintance. The Informant, who
said he knew Floyd as boy in Ok
lahoma, said he chatted with him
and two male companions, while
they filled the gasoline tank OF
their car at service station. A
small girl was said to have been in
the back seat.
1.-THE bandit told him he was
headed for Oakland, where he had
an appointment at noon Saturday."
Neel quoted his informant. Floyd
addressed one of his companions as
Blevins and said the child was his
daughter. He said his wife recently
had returned to the east and that
he intended to send the child back
within a short time"
Local police picked up a discrep-
ancy in the story by the inform
ants mention of the girl. Police said
latest photographs of the outlaw and
his wife show them with a son,
Jackie, 6.
Neel declined to identify his in
formant.
1t was the second time in recent
Floyd has ben sought in this
section. He was reported in the vi
cinity of Los Angeles in August.

badly fled across the Mexican bor.

SUGGESTS ELIMINATION Of

Chicago, Oct. IA. WP)-Elimin-
alton of six anG nalf million nom
producing dairy cows to better the
condition of the American dairy
man is the plan suggested by Col.
F. T. Robson, of Vina, Calf.
Robson, who is chairman of the
dairy department, California Farm
Bureau Federation, believes that
the plan can be financed by tax
ing imported oils, which are being
used as substitutes for butter.
Any plan which helps the dairy
man, he said, is of vast Importance
to all agriculture and industry be-
cause dairying is the largest single
industry in the United States. The
department of agriculture ranks
milk first in Importance of all ag-
ricultural commodities.
Gull Cows Doomed
Just as subacreage land is cut
out by the modern farmer, so, ac-
cording to Robson's plan, will Gull
cows be eliminated from dairy
herds.
Unlike wheat and cotton surplus,
the surplus dairy products might
easily be controlled. Col. Robson

NEW YORK, Oct. lathe SELL
ing movement started on belief that
the government was launched on a
definite sound money policy, car
ried over into the stock market to-
day but exhausted itself shortly be-
fore the close and many issues pull
ed up appreciably from their lows.
The opening was heavy. Only
utilities managed to survive the
weight placed by liquidation from
day to day traders. AS the session
proceeded the market carried down
farther with leaders showing losses
ranging to more than 2 points. There
were no tremendous selling activi-
ties, but a steady pounding down OF
values.
Then, towards the close, some
short started, influenced
somewhat by the continued strength
of utilities which were led by Amer
lean Telephone, and the whole list
started moving back up. In many
cases losses were erased and gains
substituted. Trading continued ex-
tremely dull.
The picture today was greatly 81
milar to that Friday, when the mar
ket begged down under weight of
initiation selling. The international
crisis, precipitated by Germany's
withdrawal from the League of Ma
tions, made little difficulty. London
houses reported conditions about
o..
quence coming across the Atlantic.
But domestic conditions contin-
ued to bring out selling, although
brokers reported it was purely pro-
fessional and that the public did
not seem inclined to sell what hold
ings they may have.
Utilities, however, managed to
override the depressing influence in
other groups. American Telephone,
sluggish of late, moved forward
briskly to more than point of gain
while Consolidated Gas showed
fractional advance. These despite
losses of more than a point in rails,
fractions to almost 2 points in in
dustrials and fractional weakness in
alcohol shares.
Stock sales today Appropriated
100000 shares as against 6O2,O70
shares last Saturday. Curb sales to-
day totaled 1876 900 shares as against
100000 shares last Saturday.

mer would receive two cents pound
for all slaughtered cows and also
all returns from the sale for meat
purposes. Realizing that some states
do not have sufficient funds to car
ry on extensive cooperation work in
the eradication of bovine tubercu-
losis, he suggests that the Federal
government furnish the necessary
amounts, from SIS to $17.5O, in ad.
dition to the two cents per pound
paid for culls. This money could be
raised by tax on the industry and
competing products and from gov
ernment agricultural appropria-
tionS.
Foreign Oils Blamed
Importation of foreign oils, which
are used in the manufacture of
butter substitutes, is called by Col.
Robson the biggest single factor in
the present agricultural depression.
During the World war the United
States was forced to export all her
vegetable oil and animal fats, and
domestic users turned to copra,
cocoanut and palm oil as substi-
tutes. AS a result, y-products OF
animal slaughter cannot be sold,
and the meat purchased by the con-
sumner must bear all costs.

WINDOW CARDS
FOR FALL FETE
D|STR|bUT Ed

Window cards and banners for
use of store decoration in con-
nection with Ell Centro's fall OPEN
ing and merchandising festival
were distributed to the business
houses of the city yesterday and
it is expected that every store
window and other business houses
in the city will today display one
or more of these banners around
which the individual fall opening
decorations will be built.
Each year the chamber of COM
merce has chosen fall opening
banner motif in keeping with the
autumn spirit. This years banner
in unlike any other for it not only
attracts attention to the fall open
ing and merchandise festival but
has gotten in line with the NRA
and also carries the important blue
eagle symbol and urges the public
to buy now for national recovery.
The patriotic colorS of red, white
and blue have been used effectively
and the posters are very distinc-
tive and appropriate.
The banners are also appropriate
for use in decorating interiors of
stores and the individual merchants
are working out plans for store
decorations in keeping with the
NRA and the fall opening festival.
Elaborate plans are being made by
the merchants for the entertain
ment of the public during the fall
opening on Saturday, october 81,
and new fall merchandise will be
on display for the examination of
the people of this community.
Plans are being made by G. w.
Ashley, chairman of the entertain
ment, for ample room for the
crowds which will be participating
in the fall festival. A continuous
vaudeville performance will be one
feature of the celebration. This will
start Immediately upon the disband-
ing of the parade and will con-
tinue until stores close in the
evening.
Street decorations are being pre-
pared and next week Ell Centro
will present an appearance of fes-
tivity in preparation for the fall
opening celebration, an occasion
which is looked forward to with
much interest on the part of the
public as it formally marks the end
of the summer season and well
comes the activities of the fall and
winter seasons.
