Texas. 1t is quite customary in
the South to have springtime tulip
festivals. Our climate" continued
Hays, lis somewhat similar to the
climate of the South up to about
April or May, and if we could inter
est ourselves in growing of fine
tulips and iris here and become IA
nous for them, it would bring some
very fine publicity to Ell Centro.
We hope that every resident eX-
periments this year with a few
tulip or iris bulbs Local Seedmen
and nurserymen carry bulbs, and
of course there is an unlimited sup
ply available to be secured through
our local dealers from coast whole
salers.'
Oleander Cuttings Wanted
In conjunction with the tree
planting plans of the committee, an
appeal is being made by the cham
ber of commerce t. citizens gener-
ally to learn the location of deep
red oleander bushes and trees. The
Future Farmers of America, as soon
as the school term begins, expect
to secure several thousand olean-
der cuttings for planting next
spring in conjunction with the
plans of President Bacon of the
chamber of commerce for setting
out 5000 oleanders along Ell Centro
streets. The Junior chamber of
commerce has adopted this project
&c ono Of itc inop0rtar0t OhinrtiVeS
for the coming year. The white
and pink oleanderS are fairly abun-
dant in El Centro, it appears, but
the tree planting committee desires
to locate large mature plants OF the
deep red variety from which cut
tings may be secured, and the news
papers have been asked to request
those who have in their gardens the
red variety growing. or who know
the location of any, to telephone
chamber of commerce headquarters
and give the address so that the
Future Farmers of America may
apply to the owner and secure per-
mission for taking cuttings from
these red oleander bushes.
There is general approval of the
chambers plan for city beautifica-
ton, it appears. There will be sew
eral thousand Palo Verde trees set
up during the spring, and with the
addition of 5000 brilliant oleanders,
FL Centro will in a few years be-
come a veritable lovely garden, it
is predicted.

BATON ROUGE, La, Sept. 12.-
The moment the body of Huey
Long is lowered into its grave this
afternoon, a bitter and proUracted
political war will break out.
Longs enemies and the enemies
of his all powerful political organi-
zation that controls Louisiana, were
waiting only for his burial to open
direct frontal attack on the sub
leaders attempting to keep his die
tatorsh>s intact
At least one anti-Long leader
one that is nationally knoWn-will
issue a public statement acclaim
ing DR.. Carl A. Weiss, Longs slain
assassin, a patriot and a martyr"
the United Press was informed.
Other leaders, it was said will aim
their fire at the dictatorship and
the loss of civil rights it has
brought about in two years of un-
questioned power.
Longs sub-leaders, alarmed by
unmistakable indications t a t
Longs enemies, heretofore divided
among themselves, were uniting on
a common front, did not wait for
the funeral.
Earl Christenberry. Longs secre-
tary. issued a statement enlarging
on his previous charge that the
assassin, DR.. Carl A. WCsNs. carried
out the carefully premeditated plans
for Longs chief enemies.
Christenberry said that one of
the participants at a conference of
anti-Long leaders in New Orleans
hotel last spring was a Or Wise.
This was the conference Long des-
cribed in a speech before the Unit
ed States senate as a meeting called
to plot his death. Long asserted
his secret agents had listened in
through hidden microphones and
he named some of the most prom
inent of his enemies as participants
Did Not Mention Name
Long did not mention the "Dr
Wise" in the senate speech, be-
cause he was not certain of hi;
identity, Christenberry said.
Senator Long said to me-" Chris
tenberry continued, Earl, in 6
matter as grave as this, we CAM
do anybody an injustice, SO wher-
ever there is any doubt about the
identity of a person, scratch out the
name and III leave it out of my
speech on the senate floor"
1T is my firm conviction" the
secretary said, that DR.. Wise ano
DIR. Carl A. Weiss, Jr., were one
and the same man, that DR.. Weiss
was one of the group of men ther
conspiring to kill the senator
Members of the assassin's family
privately reiterated their previous
statements that Weiss participated
in no political activity whatsoever
They believed he brooded fol
months over the loss OF civil right;

HIGH SALES
RECORD MADE
BY CHEVROLET

DETROIT, Sept. u. (SpeciaD-
Chevrolet delivered to retail con-
sumerS 99,018 cars and trucks in
August, eclipsing its July sales by
24,979 units and setting an all-time
August record, it was announced
here today by w. E. Holler, vice.
president and general sales man
ager of the Chevrolet Motor COM
pany August sales were 33,623
greater than in the same month
last year, and an increase of over
81 per cent and exceeded every
other August in the history of the
company including August 1928.
This AuguSt's sales exceeded the
1928 record of 400 units" Holler
said. Commenting on the heavy
volume registered in a month which
normally sees a slackening off of
autolFdbile business Holler cited
the Chevrolet sales record as add
ed evidence of improved business.
"The fact that our volume increas-
ed so sharply over its total for July
itself an excellent month-shows
Enthusiastically that the country's
buying power is increasing and
that there is not only the ability
but also a universal willingness on
the part of the public to buy" he
said. 1--WE were especially graft
fled at the uniformity of the i'm
provement in conditions. Every one
of the nine Chevrolet regions
showed a spendid increase and this
fact forecasts further favorable de-
velopments for the remainder of
the year"

SUGGEST PLANTING TULIPS AND
OLEANDERS IN GARDENS HERE

Members of the tree planting
committee of the El Centro Cham
Der of Commerce are considering
the selection of the tulip as the Of
ficial springtime flower in con-
junction with Fl Centro's annual
Palo Verde Festival. While tulips
have not been very generally grown
in Imperial Valley said Mrs. j. S.
Jones, committee chairman, there
have been enough paintings to DEM
onstrate that they grow well here.
The gorgeous selection of colors
will add very materially to the
beauty Of FL Centros garden homes
during the spring months"
In reply to an inquiry directed
to j. c. Archias, seed grower and
flower fancier Of Brawley, he states:
Il assure you that tulips do quite
well in Imperial Valley and can be
planted anytime from the first of
October until December, making
late winter and early spring flow
ers." Other growers have reported
with equal favor. AS October l is
not very far distant, committee
members state that those who plan
to set out tulip beds should COM
mence to make preparations, as ac-
cording to Archias, planting can
begin as early as October l.
THE tulip and the iris are the
South's faVorite early spring flow
ers," said Robert Hays, manager of
the chamber Of commerce. "Those
of us who were on the Broadway of
America convention at Nashville
last year were impressed with the
of the tulip and iris
beds in Tennessee, Arkansas and

Cowling. You know the higher that
you climb, the further you have to
fall. Great credit should go to the
Ford realer organization for the
sales work that they have accom-
plished in the present year, but it
should be called to their attention

Announcement this week that
Whiting Mead company has been
appointed valley distributors for
General Electric appliances, has
brought many compliments to the
company from longtime users Of
General Electric products, accord
ing to Everett Miner, manager.
According TO Miner the appoint
ment is of interest to many valley
people as there are at present over
1000 General Electric refrigerators
and stoves giving dependable and
distinctive service in valley homes.
"An of these users of General
Electric products know the high
standard of performance this out
standing company S products have
always maintained, Miner said,
"and We are certainly happy to
handle them.
For years. Miner continued,
"the General Electric refrigerator
has been a leader in appearance
and efficient operation. 1t has in
variably withstood the severe test
of Imperial Valleys summers with
amazing perfection of perform
ance.'
Miner stated that the first ship
ment of General Electric applianc-
es has just been received and that
included in it are various models
of both the refrigerators and
ranges. These new arrivals are now
attractively displayed at the Whit
ing-Mead shoWrooms.
Another General Electric product
on display at the showrooms is a
new type of stabilized fan for cool
ing large rooms and buildings.
This new fan moves an astound-
ing amount of air, Miner states
and is practically silent in opera
ton. Installed in attics of homes
it has been known to reduce tenn
peratures as much as Is degrees
