the railroad industry. All lines are

The latest news from the Balkans
has revived hope in England that
Monastir may hold out long enough to
enable the French and British forces
TO effect a junction with the Serbians.
The Rome and London legations Of
Serbia have received reports of a
great Serbian victory northeast of
Pristina, but as these advices give
neither details nor date. there are
doubts of their importance.
II is now believed Allied forces which
may take refuge On Greek territory
are hardly likely to be subject to at
tack from the rear. The most signlf-
cant Indication as To the present ati-
tude of Greece is contained in remarks
by NJ. Rhallis. Greek minister of jus
tice. who is quoted in a press dispatch
as having complained bitterly of meth
DDS adopted by the Entente Allies.
He argued that their tardness in
bringing effective support for the Ser
bians made Greek participation impos-
Sible.
NJ. Rhallis declared, however. that
the Greeks were determined II main

Allies had no reason 10 fear danger if

Judging from my experience in the

months from the time sheep is en-
trained for the valley before it he

mated TO the stage where il becomes

The or scar shipments which
place the small rancher in position
to enter the industry. can be made in
fast freight trains which reach their
destination almos as soon as do the
special stock trains.
The fact that wool is up is aonther
factor which is making the sheep in

are shipped into the valley are nearly
always sheared before being sent cut
and the grower is enabled to gain a
more liberal profit"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Much enthusiasm is shown over the
football game between Central and
Holtville High schools. which is to be
played tomorrow on Central's grounds.
The game will be called at 2:3O, al
lowing plenty of time, either before
or after. to settle with turkeys.
That the student body is behind the
team is shown BY numerous rallies
and especially by the one last night.
With about 100 pretty girls cheering &
for the team, as they did last night,
there should be no end of good play
ing. The student body is preparing
to make a gay time of it. The bleach
ers. goal posts and students them
selves will be gaily decorated with the
school colors. Not to leave the visiting
team out of it, their colors will appear
on one goal post and their bleachers.
The team is preparing to make a
demonstration on the street this after
noon. You will see the will-be heroes
of the gridiron in their working clothes
and on the move.
No better display of sportsmanship
could be made than by Principal Ran
dali when he said this morning before
the assembly:
I'VE are going to cheer throughout
the game, no difference If il does go
against us. Then at the end, If we
win. Wen have double satisfaction, and
if we lose we will have some satisfac-
ton"
AT the High school football game
tomorrow afternoon no charge will be
made for automobiles.

Valley Coming Rapidly
To Fore AS Sheep Country

That Imperial valley is coming rap
idly to the fore as sheep grazing and
growing country through recognition
of the beneficent climate ana excellent
feeding facilities, is attested by the
increasing number of sheep which are
being shipped here this year.
W. NJ Weaver, for years closely
Identified with the industry. when it
was in its earliest stages in the valley,
said this morning:
q know of no place in the United
States where sheep can be raised un-
der the same favorable conditions that
exist here"
Tno assessment rolls showed a de-
cided decline in the number of sheep
this year over last year. fhis is at
tributable partly ,c the fact that the
assessment, were made in March and
at that time the shipping of sheep into
the valley had not started.
Only 5000 sheep were listed IN the
assessment rolls this year, while 1000
appeared ON last years rolls, showing
a decrease Of jus, 90 per cent
Since that time, however, there have
been heavy incoming shipments and
the sheep which aye grazing in the val
ley now outnumbcr last years figures
by some thousands.
f. l.. Culver. i Hcber sheep man, is
reported TO nave shipped in about

Thanks ksgiving Day Is exclusively an
American holiday. Possibly 1t is we'll
that this is true this year, f)r there
are few other nations in which the
people could conjure up the spirit of
the day. And possibly even In this
country there will not be quite such
evanescent JOY as usually accompanies
it's observance
And yet, from the depths of depres-
sion of a year ago America is slowly
and surely advancing, and the hope
ful spirit of the people is reviving. -
there still remains a consciousness Of
much occasion for thanksgiving

we are not foolish enough to believe
that the storms Of the past year diff

character.
Already the stormy period is passing.

for the peace that abides in the ma
tion and FOR all the countless blessings
Of life. the people of Imperial Valley
