The same opportunity is open to you.
The prices are very low. The land is
as good as any in the Valley and the
terms are very reasonable.
This land will never be cheaper.
Prices are bound to be advanced be-
cause the railroads are going to make
this a very valuable farming COM
munity, furnishing quick and easy
transportation.
You men who are thinking of buy
ing a farm should investigate these
lands Immediately. Do not delay. Ga
to Calipatria at once and get in

Washington, Feb. 5.-To show the
"insidious means" used by liquor in
terests to disseminate anti-prohibition
propaganda, Representative Randall
of California this afternoon read into
the Congressional Record statement
by w. w. Hawkins, general manager
of the United Press Associations,
pointing out that his organization is
not in any way connected with the
spreading of liquor propaganda by a
Cleveland concern calling itself the
Omitted Press Association"
. Randall was discussing the Alaska
dry bill.
The statement was read just be-
fore the passage of the prohibition
bill.

Douglas Fairbanks at Palace Tomorrow

"Fairbanks at his best on the
SCREEN" That's what Haywood Broun,
the dramatic critic of the New York
Tribune, said in his paper after he
had seen Douglas Fairbanks in "Man-
haitian Madness" the Triangle play
to be shown at the Palace theatre to-
morrow.
And to quote further he printed the
following:
"People who think they don't like
motion pictures should see Douglas
Fairbanks in "Manhattan Madness"
If they can derive no amusement from
this merry farce melodrama they are
correct in supposine they are film
blind"
If you want to see Fairbanks at his
best. If you want to enjoy his pep.
IIf you want to laugh with him, doin't
fail to see this Triangle play. It's
great and you'll enjoy it.

HILL MAKES FINAL
. STATEMENT TO VOTERS

To the Voters of Imperial County:
The election for Assessor and Col
lector of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict will close tomorrow. I have
made a clean, manly fight for the
office, and have "slung no mud" at
any man. "Mud" has been flung at
me, but it rebounded, and spattered
the garments of those who slung
it.
My life is clean-I have wronged
no man. Because l took sides with
the recallers in the late contest which
brought about new Board of Di-
rectors that Quilted the people and set
tied the strife, the Ell Centre Progress
has seen fit to attack me and spout
up it's nauseating venom. 1t is un-
manly. 1t is unworthy of repu-
table journal. The Progress was
against the people in that contest,
regardless of whether or not it de-
stroyed our greatest of all irrigation
systems. The Progress is still bleed
ing in it's defeat, and has soiled its
own garments with the "mud" it
flung at me.
My friends tell me that l am 60
ing to win, and I believe it. ] shall

Palace Theatre Tonight.

Many are the treasures which lie
buried in the sea. Joe Martin, lone
fisherman, had often dreamed that the
sea had cast its riches at his feet
but his vision never was realized un-
til one day he waded out among the
rocks to pull ashore a bundle and
found-a little girl. 1t was not the
treasure of which he had dreamed
but as the days heightened into years,
Martin swore that old Father Nep-
tune had given him the greatest reas-
ure he possessed.
And, since beautiful Louise Huff
is the personification of the bounty
of the sea, there will be thousands of
motion picture enthusiasts who will
agree with Martin. 1t all happens in
the Famous Players production, ''Des-
tiny's Toy" in which Miss Huff makes
her first appearance as a permanent
member of the Famous Players forces
since winning a host of friends by
her delightful performance in that
company's celebrated adaptation of
Denman Thompson's classic, ''The Old
Homestead" in which she scored such
a personal success.
"Destiny's Toy" is the current Par
amount feature at the Palace theatre
tonight.

BATTLE ROYAL TO Be
FEATURE OF EVENING

Joe Ferro, the sensational Frisco
boxes, who so decidedly defeated Bill
jackson, the pride of Imperial, at
the last show of the club, has been
secured to box Fudge Moore, boy
who has defeated all the best boys
around San Diego and Los Angeles,
at the next show of the club on Fri
day evening.
Moore was secured through the eff
forts of Don Gritten, the San Diego
promoter, and will arrive in Imperial
today or tomorrow. Both boys will
train in the club gymnasium and the
public is cordially invited to witness
their daily workout.
In addition to the main event, a
battle royal has been arranged be-
tween five husky colored aspirants OF
the manly art. This should prove a
treat to the fans, as great care has
been taken in picking the men and
only those who are known to be will
ling mixers have been secured.
Joe Daily, who defeated Red Par
nell at Mexicali last Sunday, will
give the ex-soldier a return bout and
it is needless to say that Red will
endeavor to wipe out the defeat at
the hands of Daily.
Manager Stewart will also endeavor
to put on an extra surprise for the
benefit of the fans.

WIFE WEARS THE SPORT TOGS,
BUT HUBBY is THE REAL SPOR9

Never have sport suits, frocks and
accessories been more bewilderingly
beautiful. The windows are full of
them already for Southern exposure
at Palm Beach and like havens, where
the fortunate fit. We stand gazing
upon their glories rapt in admiration
and our heaviest furs.
In slush ankle-deep, while wintry
winds do blow, we can still visualize
how we will look in that glorious tur-
quoise p9aeee one-piece frock banded
in gssden yellow this summer if we
,Sfe lucky enough to save enough pen
mics for it. There is a dusky hat with
turquoise parasol to match. All up
to-date 1917 model parasols are wear
ing their ornate trimmings inside and
a closed parasol is closed book.
Only when opened does it disclose it's
glories to an admiring multitude.
Unusual and Oriental are the color
combinations used to band and trim
the sport suits and one-piece frocks,
bvt always are they hectic to the high
est degree.
A stunning new sport silk like a
heavy pongee, called khaki kool, is
the favored material, and it comes
in daring and unusual designs and
all the vivid colorings.
Sport shirts of this material are
striped in vivid colors, as they were
last year, but this season, too, they
will be easily spotted with polka dots
as large as life and twice as color
full
Hats, parasols, stockings, shoes,
handkerchiefs and bags are all got
ten up to match and carry out COM
plete costume effect. Among the
lovely new silk sweaters a lettuce
green one banded. sashed and sailor
! collared in white is perhaps the love-
liest, but two-toned sweater coat
in checker-board pattern that comes
in two shades of blue, yellow, rose
and green and black and white is al
so stunning novelty.
Cerise, green and gold seem to be
the most taking trio of tints for the
one-piece straight line sport silk
dresses, but they all have some other
vivid dash of contrasting color to
startle and attract.
Jersey cloth still continues to hold
it's popularity over from lsat year in
to this for sport suits and new ma
terial called suedene is also very good.
For motor coats of spring suede cloth
is the material de luxe with Innings
of softest, brightest silk or chiffon
cloth. They are much shorter than
the winter coats and so full and loose
as almost to be mistaken for caps
at the first fleeting glance as they
dash by on up-to-date maids in up-to-
date motors.
4 But don't for a minute think it is
necessary to go in for sports in or
der to sport these sporty sport togs
Indeed nay, no and likewise never
This summer you will find that these
deliciously delectable duds will be
worn anywhere and everywhere from
a pink tea to the village green.
