Philosophy
BY ID. l.. ZINN

Folks, this football business is in
a mess now. We appear to be Holt
ville's jinx. Brawley is our jinx. Ell
Centre or Holtville must win to be
champions. If they both win a big
tie for first place and if they both
lose-Oh my, what a mess!
The president ana vice president
both have the toothache. Every
one that owns any stocks has an
awful headache and the whole
country is belly aching. That is
another big mess we are getting
into. 1t appears like the fellow was
right when he said "life is just one
damn thing after another"
I think l will go 30 the ball game
Sunday and just forget 1t for one
day. Maybe l will see another tri-
pie play or a few home runs. I am
getting to be regular baseball
fan all over again.
I'll be Seein' you.

Hints Offered on
Garden Planting
For Ell Centre
BY RAY DESSERT
Whitman Seed Company

One should plan to have a few
of the early blooming bulbs in front
of the house either planted around
a palm tree, along a sidewalk or up
next to the porch. Such bulbs as
Ranunculus, Anemones, Daffodils,
Jonquils and tulips are fine for this
purpose and do very well here in
Ell Centre if they are given little
care.
Another bulb that should be
planted at this time is the Gladiola
or Sword Lilly This is fine to
plant in the back yard to raise some
very nice cut flowers for the house.
Last year in looking over the gar
dens of Ell Centre I saw some very
nice gladiolas in bloom and believe
this bulb deserves much more pop
ularity here in Ell Centre than 1t
has had in the past.
Annual flowers such as African
Daisy, Calendula, Clarkia Nicotiana,
Nigella and Phlox should be plant
ed at this time for beds of low
blooming flowers, these beds should
have back ground of one or more
of the flowing, which also should
be planted at this time, Delphi
mum, Larkspur, Snapdragon and
Stocks. Mignonette while it does
not have pretty flower should
have some mention here as it gives
a sweet odor to your entire garden
if planted in some obscure corner.
I have left out Petunia SO far but
these should have special place or
several places in every garden as
there is nowhere in the country
that they do any better than in
Ell Centro.

MANY VARITIES OF TREES MAY
BE PLANTED BY Ell CENTRANS

brella tree, the black mulberry, the
honey mesquite. the date palm, the
purple leaved plum, the red willow
and the Babylon weeping willow,
and the California pepper tree.
The list does not end with these,
Marshall said. but includes more
than 20 other species.
Cooperating with sponsors and
other nursery groups, the Marshall
Seed and Feed company will be
glad to advise anyone desiring to
take part in the current prize con-
test for the greatest improvement
in yeors Marshall said.

The contest plan oeing used In
Ell Centro is a composite of plans
found successful in other Califor-
mia cities of comparative size, or
prominence for beauty. Commits
sioner Eyer has closely studied the
plans in more than a dozen such
cities including Pasadena, San Ga
briel, ontario, Uplands, Vallejo and
others.
The city expects to do its part
on city or public property, and
Eyer is intensely interested in
achieving a universal spirit of CO.
operation between the city and
private property owners.

details OF the program. !
More than fifty telephone. calls
were recorded by the Chamber, P.
E, Ryerson, committee chairman
and Paul Eyer, city park commits
1oner Thursday evening and Fri
day, following announcement of
the stimulating program.
The contest is being arranged by
the chamber, city, and Post Press
to stimulate interest in home and
city Identification and is the latest
step toward the community desire
to make Ell Centre one of the pret-
tiest towns in the state.
Many of the inquiries and COM
mendations ON the contest came
from other parts of the valley, in
cluding Brawley, and Holtville. The
residents of other valley commu-
mites expressed great interest and
offered suggestions as to the best
flowers, shrubs and trees to be
planted in this climate, according
lNo Ryerson. These, Ryerson said,
l7tre being compiled at the chamber
of commerce and the information
offered for use by contestants.
The city is cooperating 100 per
cent in the Identification pro-
gram. Commissioner Eyer and other
city officials are now engaged on
a drive to clean up vacant lots
and alleys and plan to start i'm
mediately to cleanup and trim
parkings.
The park department Eyer said,
expects to contact the owner of
every vacant lot and devise plans
for beautifying the parkings in
front of the lots. Details as to wa
tering and care will be arranged,
and the city expects to plant many
more trees In street parkings dur
ing the season.

John German. business manager
for the Brooklyn Dodgers Nation
al league baseball club, announc-
ed last night that Burleigh Grimes
has been re-appointed manager Of
the team for the season of 1898.

get the call next year.

he Dodgers are now in sixth
