Series { Bond Sales
In D. {. Tops Record
With S10,870,425
Rust Points Out Thot
Capital Has Exceeded
Quotes Each Month

Topping all previous records, sales
Of Series E War bonds in the Dis
trict during May reached a total
of sl0,870,425 and exceeded the
Treasury-set quota of $500 900 by
As per cent. H. L. Rust, jr.. chair
man of the District War Savings
Committee, announced today.
The Second War Loan Campaign
during the latter part of April and
in early May boosted total sales
of E bonds in the District for these
months to a record sum of S2O,-
l63.018. The District has exceeded
its quota materially each month
rated last December, Mr.. Rust
pointed out.
Exceed Campaign Quota.
Although no Series E quota was
set for April. District sales of s78-
1923 to investors other than COM
mercial banks and dealers during
the Second War Loan Campaign
were 88 per cent above the quota
of S42000,000.
National sales of Series E bonds
in May amounted to 1895 ,234 900,
which was 33 per cent above the
quota OF S750OO0,00O. District sales
for the last six months have been
we'll above the national average and
have maintained Washington's per
capita purchases at the top in the
continental United States. The to-
tai per capita average of purchases
of Series E bonds alone for April
and May was nearly $25.
Credit Given Citizens.
"The great success of bond sales
efforts in the District during the last
two MONTHS Mr.. Rust stated, has
resulted from the mass participation
of our people in the purchase of
War bonds for the support of our
armed forces and from the extra ef-
forts exerted during the Second War
Loan Drive and subsequently by the
thousands of volunteer workers CO.
operating with the District commit
tee and by all the issuing agents."
Our entire citizenry is entitled to
great credit and may we'll be proud
of their accomplishments, not only
during the recent campaign but
throughout the period of our Gov
ernment's war financing"

Second Weapon
Reported Found
In Staying Of 5
Located in Creek
Near Love Farm,
Leesburq Hears

Reports circulated in Leesburg,
Va. today that second weapon,
clearly establishing that the murder
of the Love family and their tenant
farmers was premeditated, has been
found in Catoctin Greek near the
Love farm.
Commonwealth Attorney Charles
F.. Harrison told The Star last night
search was being made for gun,
but that as far as he knew it had
not been found.
The search was made for the gun,
it was indicated, after Sergt. Charles
w. Blue of the Virginia State Police
and Mr.. Harrison both questioned
the confessed slayer, Thomas Will
liam Clatterbuck, at the Winchester
Jail Saturday.
Reports tnat the gun had been
found and brought to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation for balllstics
tests were denied today Sergt. Blue.
however, was reported on his way to
Washington from his home in Cul-
peper, Va, and it was possible that
he had found the gun and was
bringing it Eere today.
Would Establish Clear Case"
Mr. Harrison admitted that IF We
could find another weapon. we would
have a clear case of generalization, ;"
but added that in his opinion pre-
meditation was established in any
case by the fact that Clatterbuck
sought out Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Russell. the tenant farmers, to kill
them after ne had taken the lives of
A. Morris Love; his wife, Ruth, and
his son. James.
Mr.. Harrison did not disclose why
Sergt. Blue had started search for
second gun. although it was as
sumed that the search had been
started because the FBI reported
that bullets extracted from the vic
tins did not come from James rife,
as Clatternuck had contended.
A magnetic dip needle, borrowed
from Leesburg Town Treasurer Rosco
Rhodes. was used in the search of
the creek. Mr.. Harrison said.
Spot on Clatterbuck's Route.
According to Leesburg reports. a
.22-caliber automatic was located in
Catoctin Greek Saturday night. The
creek is about a mile and a half
from the Love farm it was said. and
criss-crosses the loads Clatterbuck
confessed he had travelled. Clatter-
bucks confession indicated he was
near enough to the creek on at least
three occasions TO toss a gun from
his car.
In his confession Clatterbuck said
he had wrested James rifle from the
boys hands after bludgeoning Mr..
Love to death with croquet mallet.
James rife. he SAID. was used in the
Staying of the youth, his mother and
the Russels.
Mr.. Harrison said he was ready
to try the case now with or without
the second weapon being located, but
added that he thought Clatterbuck S
counsel would ask for a delay to
acquaint himself with the facts of
the case. The prosecutor estimated
that the case would come up for trial
IN about three weeks or a month.

this generosity.
With the end of the war Brawley
was fully prepared to push ahead
and a community commercial club
was formed and one of its chief
functions was the promotion of a
home building campaign that was
higely successful.
In this war, as in the last, the
city of Brawley is putting its shoul-
der to the wheel and all drives, in
cluing those for the sales of bonds,
collection of scrap metal, etc, have
gone over the top in that generous
city Its citizens take pride in
seeing Brawley head the list in all
things.
Farm values have increased ma
terially in the Brawley district and
leases on good lanG are becoming
extremely difficult to obtain be-
cause of demands for increased
production with which to meet the
needs of the nations armed forces

Many are the odd events that are
recorded in CaleXico's history and
among them is a rare incident, in
deed, a snoWstorm that swept over
the town in 1902. CaleXico's first
school was conducted in a tent,
several miles out of town, in 1902
The tent was moved into CaleXico
in 1904, however, and the follow
ing year frame building was con-
structed. Incidentally, the school
was the valleys first institution of
learning. j. E. Carr was the first
instructor, and he was later to be
named county superintendent of
schools.

Nineteen hundred and two was

was in that year too, that the

as a feeding area for cattle and

cattle are shipped into the terri

FARMING ADVANCES

and the entire district was flooded
with wealth. Great enterprises
such as oil mills, cotton gins, etc,
sprang Up in Mexicali, and Ameri-
cans invested heavily in land be-
low the border, raising crops that
brought high prices.
After 1929, Calexico'S peak year,
the community started downward,
showed along by parade of events
that choked the life from many
thriving businesses. The depres-
sion in the United States slowed
down the spending across the line
and the price of farm products
tumbled. International trade was
shackled to a great degree by va
rious border regulations. The
Mexican government halted gam
bling and Mexicali lost much of its
glitter.
BUILDING VACANT
Large numbers of buildings that
previously were occupied stood va
cant, the rental price greatly re-
duced. Progress almost ceased in
CaleXico, and it was many long
and dark months before building
activity was to be revived.
But in many respects Calexico
has snapped back into its own and
in the future it promises to be a
more healthy town, built around a
policy of conservatism instead of
the wild spending mood in which
it found itself following its days
of infancy.
Great developments have been
made in the area and they stand
today as a firm foundation for fu-
ture growth.
