LECTURER
TO TALK IN
FL CENTRO

Dr. Candle, state superintendent Of
the Anti-Saloon League, has called a
conference of pastors and leading
workers from all parts of Imperial
county, to be held in the Christian
church of El Centre, next Monday aft
c~n-rn, TO open at 2:30 o'clock.
The purpose is to consider pending
wet OF dry legislation in California,
especially the county unit option bill.
introduced by Senator Carr Of Pasa-
dana. Imperial county should be
NIGHTLY interested in this measure.
for if it becomes a law the means
Of cleaning Up Imperial City by .
county vote Will be at hand.
The conference will also counsel
concerning the dry campaign for
1918. The Christian church ought to
be packed with leading people Of the
county.
The several league speakers in the
Valley last Sunday spoke to good au-
diences and report the interest keen
for a dry county this year, a dry
state next year and a dry nation
soon.
Among the dates arranged for next
Sunday will be a union mass meeting
at II a. m. in the opera house Of
Imperial, and similar meeting in
the high school auditorium of Braw-
ley at 1850 D. m. Dr.. Gambler will be
the speaker at both.
Assistant Superintendent DR.. Mont

church of El Centre at Il o'clock.

land have selected a November day
for annual national observance. The
scene Of Newfoundland's triumph in
the Somme struggle viii probably be
named before many months. Hero
Glyphical military maps describe the
scene as "F39c2.5 to 40A132." That's
all the location it has so far, but what
happened in that trench filled with
Newfoundland enemies is what New
foundland has to be thankful for. The
thinned Newfoundland bayonets that
reduced it to ditch of dead fought
counter-attacks to standstill while q
German artillery barrage smothered
life on the ground between them and
their original line. Troops working
en- the right in conjunction with the
men from Newfoundland were unable
to carry their part of the trench. The
victorious North American islanders
therefore fought their way into every
corner of the stronghold and cleared
it. They held the trench and have got
it yet.
