ADJUSTMENTS.
"IntoIerance"

The nearest approach to living four
lives in one is to visit d. w. Grif1th's
Intolerance" hat spectacle Of four
fold wonders which is coming to the
Grand for Friday and Saturday.
-Four lives you may live and not re-
gret 1t. during a performance Of this
latest new-art sensation, one with Bel
shazzar and his Princess Beloved in
voluptuous, opulent old Babylon; one
with Christ In the swarming streets of
picturesque Jerusalem; one in Paris in
those romantic fearful days when
Charles TX was king and Catherine de
Medici wrought the massacre Of the
Huguenots; and the final one in the
underworld Of a great modern city
with its vices and gangsters and the
dear one of courageous heart who
saves her sweetheart from paying the
penalty Of a crime he did not commit.
In Intolerance" said an eminent
critic, "Mr. Griffith has achieved the
seemingly impossible. You will have
to see 1t with your own eyes to get
the faintest conception Of its magni-
tude and grandeur"
The seats for this unusual attraction

"Tt~in Beds"
The eagerly looked forward to en-.
gagement OF Twin Beds" takes place
at the Grand Christmas matinee and

to be the most satisfying OF the season.

year in London. while arrangements
are now being made for early presen-
tation In Paris, Petrograd, Rome,
Madrid, South America and South
Africa. From the very first rise of the
curtain the FUN is said to begin and in
It's two hours or more 1t does some
wonderful things with plots and sit

CITY.
Farmers of Large District Plan to
Get Better Price for Their

Steps looking toward the shipment
Of carload of hogs to Kansas City
by farmers Of the Verde and Alamo
sections were taken at a meeting Of
the Verde Farm Center.
A committee composed OF Leroy
Hawk, Dave Vencil and W. H. War
rem, was appointed to investigate the
matter.
This action was taken after consid-
cradle discussion Of the matter, in
which it seemed the general impress
sion among farmers was that if a
trainload of hogs can be collected for
shipment at once a much better mar
ket can be found in Kansas City than
on the coast.
At the meeting last night Farm Ad-
wiser Paul Dougherty made an address
on wheat growing, telling Of its ad-
vantages over barley, the demand of
the government for wheat as food and
the opportunities for marketing to
good advantage.
Louis E. Murray, tester for the

SUPERVISORS AGREE

Imperial county supervisors, at
their meeting yesterday, decided to
appoint a school attendance officer
for the county, to be named probably
at their next meeting. The best ma
terial available will be sought in the
effort to get a good man for the
job.
The action was taken at the sug
gestion Of County Superintendent
Shibley, whose exposition of the large
number of children in the valley not
attending school was a revelation to
the county fathers.
Mr.. Shibley stated that there were
more than 500 children of school age
not attending any educational insti-
tuition in the county, These children
were not attending school chiefly
through the carelessness of the par
ents. or were the children of farm
laborers who, as is usual, intend stay
ing here only short time, and remain
permanently.

HOT MEETING OF NO. 6
SHORT WATER TALKED FROM
MANY ANGLES.
PrOletariat Gained After Rapid Fire
Questions We're Hurled
at Officers.

There We're numerous complaints OF
unfair distribution of water at a meet
ing of Water Company No. in Ca
lexico yesterday, and some of the
ranchers were outspoken in their criti-
cism Of the authorities. Sentiment
was divided, large faction claiming
that Superintendent Price was an en-
tirely competent man and blameless
for the trouble, while others shoul-
dered the thing on him. Manager Dav-
export, against whom some sharp
criticism was directed, was also un-
der fire, and petition for abolishing
the office Of manager was presented,
but was tabled. Finally, a motion
prevailed to place the accounts and
books Of the company and the dis
tribution Of the water entirely in the
hands of the manager, and super
vision of the bitches was given to
Superintendent Price. On the sur
face this seemed satisfactory, but a
number of ranchers expressed them
selves as being dissatisfied with the
solution of the trouble. Many COM
plants were made of failure to Sc
cure water and of having bills pre-
sented, but the directors, after hear
ing a number, decided to adjust their
claims, and passed motion authoriz-
ing the manager and superintendent
to make the adjustments, which
should be final.
Manager Davenport took an opti-
mistic view Of the matter and saiG
there had been no bad trouble; that
everything would work out satisfac.
torily and that No. would be al
right.

Washington, Oct. 3.-England's new
embargo on shipments Of practically
everything to Sweden, Norway, Den
mark and the Netherlands, together
with the recent embargo placed by the
United States on shipments to these
countries, is regarded as most i'm
portant move in tightening the cord
which is slowly but surely killing the
military power Of Germany.
AS the British embargo excludes
all but printed matter, about the only
thing permitted to go to the German
people will be expressions of the
worlds opinion that they should re-
organize their system of government
and abolish the military autocracy
which has been a world canker.
Figuratively, England holds one
rope, and America another, which are
gradually strangling the military pow
er Of Germany by cutting off her
supplies.
