How to Tell a Celebrity

He always selects the most conspic-
ways looking for some one to recog-
nize him on the street.
He invariably leads the conversation
around to his own achievements.
He generally wears clothes, hats or
ties little different from any one
else's.
He's a far better talker than he is a
listener.
He always laughs loudest at his own
jokes.
His wife always wears a worried
look.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

CALEXICO KICKING
1T Phone CHARGES

Following Instructions recently re-
ceived from the CaleXico board Of
city trustees, City Attorney Butcher
will forward today an informal COM
plaint to the State Railroad Commits
sion protesting against the present
telephone rates which exist in the
city of Calexico.
An examination of the rates on file
at the Calexico offices of the lmpe-
rial Telephone Company by the city
attorney Yesterday showed that the
following rates are now charged:
One-party, business desk phone,
81 so Ter month; two-party, business
desk phone, $3.50 per month; one-par-
ty wall phone, business, $4 per month;
two-party business, wall phone, $3
Fer month; one-party, residence desk
phone, $3.50 per month; two-party
residence desk phone, So per month;
one-party residence wall phone, So per
month; two-party residence wall
phone, SOU per month.
In addition to making an informal
complaint relative to the rates, Mr..
Butcher will also incorporate sug-
gestion relative to the installation of
automatic phones.
It is considered likely that the
State Railroad Commission, follow
ing the receipt of the informal COM
plant, will 60 to Calexico to insti-
tute an investigation into the reason
ableness Of the present rates and also
into the feasibility of the installation
O.; automatic, phones.
In event the special investigator de-
cides that the present rates are un-
reasonable, the commission probably
will institute proceedings on its own
n.otion, as it is allowed to do under
the statute.

PALACE TNEATER

Goods Country and the Woman,
q special Blue Ribbon feature and
one of the best picture5 OF the year,
will be shown at the Palace theatre
tonight.
This drama cf the Northwest is in
eight parts. The story is taken from
the book Of James Oliver Curwood,
II took. six months to make this Won
derful picture and many hardships
we're endured by the company. Some
f them nearly lost their lives while
they were snowbound in the San Ber-
nardino mountains.
This picture ,,nade remarkable
run of six weeks in Los Angeles. 1t
vas only possible to obtain it for
cne day at Ell Centre, so two shows
ere going to be given in order that
all who wish may attend. The first
show will start promptly at Z o'clock
and the second at o'clock.
"The Eyes of the World" the pic
turization of Harold Bell Wright's
v onderful story of the same name,
will be shown at the Palace next Fri
day and Saturday afternoon and
evening.
1t is a peculiar fact that Ell Cen
tro will have opportunity to view this
picture before it is shown in Los
Angeles.
Watch for further comments on
this remarkable picture.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-11-17
l.. & S. THEATER

The L. & S. Theatre has secured
the privilege of showing one of the
most remarkable modern day pic
lures yet produced. The title of the
picture is eff My Country Should
CALL" and it is based on the stories
Of Virginia Terhune Vanderwater,
published recently in popular mag
azine.
The story is based on the fact that
women are aroused to a high pitch
of excitement by the beating Of drums,
the flaring Of flags and the march
ing of troops in review or off to bat
tie, but when the time comes for
them to give up their loved ones, to
use the vernacular, they renege.
The woman in this story could not
see the use of having her son go
to the border in a possible expedi-
tionary force and to keep him from
it temporarily units MIN for duty
by the use of heart depressant. 1t
is a story which proves to certain
e. tent the statement that good
wholesome neglect is the best thing
in the world for children; that the
best thing to do is to let them find
out for themselves that fire burns.
The picture is full of heart inter
est and can be seen at the L. and S.
Theatre tonight.
