For the first half Of the week the
Paramount feature picture at the Lit
tie Theatcr is "kilmeny." romance
OF gypsy life. with Lenore Ulrich in
the title role. Miss Ulrich has here
tofore been known by her work in the
principal part In tho stage piece. The
Bird OF Paradise" and she makes her
first appearance on the screen in xii
neny This photoplay recalls to some
extent the old opera, The Bohemian
Girl, describing the adventures of a

plotting the impulsiveness and in
tenseness OF the heroine, and her ap-

Eypsies have been produced with a
careful eye for color. and the back
grounds are excellently done. so that

At the Colonial.

Little Mary Miles Minter--who is no
Longer so very little, by the way-ap-
pears TO excellent advantage in the
photoplay selected as the vehicle for
her screen debut, Always in the Way"
which is the Colonials feature for the
first two days of the week. In spite
OF her youth. she has had considerable
experience on the stage. which enables
her 10 pantomimc with much more
skin than Is displayed by many an
established screen favorite. The rather
absurd title Of the photoplay is taken
from the early scenes, in which n lit
tie girl appears as conventionally
neglected stepchild Although all plausi-
bility is ignored, the following scenes
are quite interesting. Laid. supposedly.
IN Africa, they show n number OF
saTages, and-wherc the savaEes are
conspicuous-they are filled with ex-
citing action. With the same curious
inconsistency that mars so many good
pictures. this one is diminished In in
terest by the appearance OF comic
relief who is most palpably white
woman working in blacltface: and for
hero the director chose one of tho
long haired brand. The real little girl
who plays the neglected child is be-
witching. but. except for her. the star
stands alone.

feated FL Centro's second team in a
game of football last Saturday after
noon by score of Is To u. The game.
which was played at Brawley, was a
huUy contested one
Despite the fact that of the local
boys were disqualified. the Second team
held a much heavier team for the first
two quarters of the game In the
third quarter the Calexico men pushed
our line over the goal for a touchdown.
Goal was kicked. shortly after a sue
cessful forward pass allowed Calexico
another touchdown. The ball touched
tn" ground before they were ready to
try for goal, losing them the goal. The
score was beat up TO Is, where it re-
NAMED during the rest of the game.
Especially good work was done by
Charlie Deane, the heavy Calexico full
back. His terrific line lurches, al
though held. were trying on the light

Great Secret
That Must Not
Be Disclosed

We have a little secret to lay
before our readers. and we trust
them not 10 divulge ii. As it re
lates to the irrigation district. of
course ii must be kept secret. Il
would not do, under any circum-
stance, to let the whole public
know of district matters. Only in
the dark recesses can these facts
be whispered.
The fact is, so it is stated, that
the directors of the district have
obtained an option on their claim
from the Salt Works fDr 80 days and
have completed all arrangements
with the Southern Pacific Company
and the bondholders for acqui-
sition of the irrigation system. The
only hitch is that there will not
be money enough available to close
the deal until the mutual compa-
nies make their payments Janu-
airy L. by which time IL is believed
the people will enter into posses
sion.
But the great trouble is that the
recall election will be held Dccem-
Der I, and the public must not
know of the affair until just before
that date.
You know, we simply must play
politics To announce this great
fact two days before election
would have a great psychological
influence, and might save Messrs
Conkling. Hamilton and Brock
man.
The plan is for the district to
source to get actual possession
about December 5, instead of Jan
uary |.
1t is splendid news, but must be
kept secret for political effect. and
to help save the directors at the
recall election the Press pledges
itself not to tell anybody but its
readers.
This is the consummation of
years of work, and has been
brought about by Lieutenant Coy
ernor Eshleman. 1t serves to il
lustrate how work can be done
when put on a business basis and
in the hands of a man who seeks
TO produce results.
The option of the Salt Works
calls for the payment II that com
pany of S6O0,0O0 in bonds, while of
course the Southern Pacific also
takes bonds The payment on bonds
not held by the Southern Pa
cific Is to be in cash, and the
money in the hands of the receiver
will be applied in the settlement.
