Mississippi river from st. Louis to
New Orleans by barge. This is his
method Of finding leisure to write
a book on American art. He is the
first writer TO make art a best
selling subject.
His two books Modern Art" and
Men of Art" were in the big six
division. 1t is due largely TO Cra-
ven's influence that American art
has been made popular for Amer
leans. For years he has been fight
ing the French influence and cry
ing for American painters TO be
American and paint American sub
jects.
There is no doubt he nurtUred
much Of the popularity for Grant
Wood, Thomas Benton. Reginald
Marsh, John Stuart Curry, etc.
Craven, like Tom Benton, is a Kan
san. Benton has Just deserted NeW
York for Kansas to live and PAIN
and where he will likely be as great
an influence as Grant Wood in his
native Iowa.
Craven went through the usual
training of an American artist. He
went from Paris to Florence and
back to Paris again. becoming al
most as French as the French.
Then he came to New York TO ape
the French. grew disguised and
turned to art criticism TO make
painters be themselves.

and has this season gathered

George, is a naturalist, has made
several safaris into the African

GET READY FOR SUNDAY

With only few days remaining before
Imperial Valley Day is observed at the
San Diego exposition, we take this op-
portunity to urge as many residents as
can possibly do so, to attend the program
which will be presented next Sunday,
June %.
The committee having the days ar
rangements in charge has worked hard
Tor several weeks putting the program
INTO shape and as the day approaches,
their labors have not been lightened.
On the contrary they have been increased
by the last minute details which neces-
sarily arise for such an occasion.
Imperial Valley owes it to these men
and women, if not to the valley itself,
to have large representation Of resi-
dents at the exposition on Sunday
The exposition itself, according to all
accounts, is we'll worth the trip to the
coast if even for only day. 1t has been
given highest praise by all who have seen
it.
Imperial Valley will be on display
Sunday, and if residents of this COM
munity are not sufficiently interested
in the valley to make the days program
an outstanding one. we need not be sur
prised if San Diego, the fair officials and
paw VI Cle eApOsiJloH Ian 10 get q
very high opinion of us.
The committee is hoping to have some
5000 to 5000 valley residents at the ex-
position on Sunday. There should be
many more than that if all show the in
terest that they should.
The entertainment program to be pre-
sented will be made up of valley talent.
There will be an opportunity to see many
of the exhibits and to enjoy a full day
at the exposition before it comes time to
return to the valley.
The few days remaining before Sun
day give sufficient time to arrange ones
affairs so that the trip to San Diego
can be made without interfering with
other plans
Imperial Valley is ION the spot" so
far as the exposition is concerned, and
it is up to us to make good.

MAYBE REPUBLICANS CAN

1t isn't sporting, it isn't polite to snick~

the expense of Imperial Valley Demo-
Gratis.
The biggest Democrat of them all

Diego this summer. He has said so him.
self on several occasions, no later than
on the occasion of the official opening of
the exposition.
The idea of inviting the President
here was advanced several months ago
and met with practically universal ap-
proval from the valley. Several of the
leading Democrats got together and re-
quested him to include Imperial Valley
on his San Diego trip.
Thus far they have been waiting for
a reply. Evidently Mr.. Roosevelt's sec
retaries are too busy with other and
more important matters to consider
the Imperial Valley request.
We certainly are not trying to throw
cold water on the idea of presidential
visit. We sincerely wish Mr.. Roosevelt
would come here and we believe a lot
more valley residents wish the same, re-
gardless of their political affiliations.
The point we wish to make is that the
Democrats don't seem to have had much
success. For all we know there may
have been a few Republican names in
Cluded on the invitation, but it was only
natural for Democrats to take the lead.
If so, Democrats will say that fact
scared off the President. Our claim is
that there We're not enough Republican
names on the invitation.
Our suggestion, to remedy the matter,
and at least obtain the President s re-
fusal if we cannot obtain his assent, is
to have a strictly Republican invitation
drawn up and forwarded to the White
House.
For the information Of Democrats who
may wish to take shot at us for this,
the editorial rooms of The Press after
today's issue, are to be moved to the

"DONT QUOTE
ME"
BY United Press

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Sen-
ate gossips have developed the
story of fine plot which, they de-
clare. was responsible for the fail
ure of Sen. Huey Longs lengthy but
futile filibuster last week.
There is practically no evidence
to back up the yarn, but once a
filibuster starts no holds are bar
red and anything goes with regard
to Strategems to break it.
There are several versions of how
the Long filibuster came to grief.
The best, however, concerns the
drinking water. Long drank copi-
ously and frequently during his
I512 hour speech. He mad been
speaking some time when he raised
one glassful, drained half its con-
tents, then put it down, making a
wry face.
His secretary, sitting beside him
to administer to his wants during
the endurance contest, took sip.
It was mineral water. After that,
say the gossips. each glass of wa
ter that Long drank was tested first
by the secretary.
One glass of milk, however, was
neglected and that, too, showed
evidence of dilution, Long is said
to have reported
Reporters were surprised when
Secretary of the Interior Harold l..
IckeS announced that the per man
cost of PWA work had been figured
out as 1929. Reason for the surprise
was that accepted figures were over
$1,000 per man. They asked Ickes
about it.
That's easy" said Ickes, you
can get any figure you want if your
5tatiStician is good enough"
IckcS also was unimprcsscd by

Irish Spirit In
 | ArmiStice Plans

A few weeks ago on the Oc- casion of the dedication of the Irish cottage at Settlers Vil- lage, Postmaster General Far ley said that nineteen generals and fOrty-five per cent of the Revolutionary army were of Irish birth. From that time up to the present Irish blood has flown and the sentiment of the Irish race has been generously donated to every crisis in the history of the United States. The first blood which decorated the soil of France in the re- cent World war was Irish American. The first local major casually of the same war was Irish-American-C0rporal Frank Coyle for whom the local Legion post is named. No wonder then that the Irish-American club members feel that in honoring all the veterans of the World war and their departed bud dies they are but h0n0ring their own race.
 The Ladies Auxiliary of the club, which has also been ex- tended an invitation to par ticipate will on this occasion as on others form an integral part of the mems division.
 The principle address of the clubs meeting on Friday will be made by Dr. Thomas J. CondOn, Superintendent of Schools, relative to the makeup and purpose of the new Mat tatuck college. A capacity audi ence is confidently expected by the club officials to listen to this able and efficient public official.
 So on Sunday afternoon the Green, White and Gold of ancient Erin will blend with the Stars and Stripes of America to display 8 fitting tribute to those of our soldiers who gave their all, and to show to those of them still among us a mark of respect and affection which we owe not only to them but to ourselves.
 President George T. Ryan is enthusiastic in the matter of the club turnout on Sunday af- tern0On as is also Thomas J. Reidy, chairman of the parade committee. MT. Reidy is being ably assisted by Herbert Ra- gan, Past President Edward Loughrain, Robert C0ughlin and John J. Dillon.

Rev. David P. Gaines to Broadcast Address Over
 Station WATR Sunday

Arnistice Sunday. Noveuber 70. marks the beginning of the peace in the churches of the Northern Baptist Convention, and the First Baptist Church, accord- ing to announcements, wilp9O-cper- ate in the observance of the day from the standpoint of this exten~ sive undertaking. The ballots to bo used in the plebiscite will be dis- tributed at the services, to be stud- fed and returned properly filed out when the vote it taken on Christ~ mas Sunday.
 The intervening weeks will afford opportunity for reading and discus- sion on the issues outlined in tho ballots. This movement was inc spired by the plebiscite conducted some months ago by the churches of Great Britain, which resulted in an extraordinary expression of the thought of that country on peace problems ana politices, and is cred- tied by such distinguished citizens as Lord Robert Cecil with having provided helpful and influential izi- formation for the government in the present critical situation arising out of the Italo-Ethiopian War. Other denominations in this coun- try, the Congregational Christian notably, have arranged to conduct plebiscites.
 It is the hope of those promoting the movement in this country that it will result in calling forth as full and frank an expression of opinion on peace issues as was obtained by British churches. By way of helping to focus attention on the questions contained in the ballots, Rev. David P. Gaines on Armistice Sunday will preach at the evening worship, s o'clock, on the subject Was Jesus Pacifist?" This service will be broadcast through WATR after 6:S0 o'clock.
