RUSSO-JAP ALLIANCE
BEING STRENGTHENED
lBY United Pressl

Toxic, Jan. 17.-Chosen with the
idea that he will further the cause
of friendship between Japan and Rus
sia and strengthen the alliance recent
ly concluded between the two erts-
while eneufes, Viscount Yasuya
Ishda, ambassador to the United
States in 19O9-11, has been appointed
as the new Japanese envoy to Rus
sia.
Viscount Uchida fills the post made
vacant when Viscount Motono was
recalled to accept the position of for
eign minister in the new Terauchi
ministery. Besides his term in Wash
ington, he has acted as ambassador
to Vienna, minister to China and
was foreign minister in 1911. He is
considered one of the most able dip
lomats in Japan.
Politicians in Toxic take the con-
clusion Of the Russo-Japanese pact
last spring as the beginning of long
term of friendly political and COM
mercial relations between the two
countries. But it is generally be-
lieved that only a beginning has been
made. There is a generally accepted
belief that Russia requested Japan
to wait until the close of the war for
signature of additional clauses of the
new convention.
Viscount Montono is given the cred
it for laying the foundation of the
alliance with Russia. His service as
foreign minister is expected to be
marked with pro-Russian tendencies
Upon Viscount Uchida, however, is
placed the responsibility of promot.

PROSPERITY COMING
TO CAL|PATR|A NOW

That Imperial Valley is due for a
long wave of prosperity seems to be
foregone conclusion, as there is
every indication that the present high
prices secured for crops will continue
and during the next few years it is
predicted that the farmers locally will
reap a harvest and this outlook is
causing everyone who can to tie up
some of this good land, as it be-
hooves all to get farm if they can.
Especially is this felt in the North
End around Calipatria, where the I'M
perial Valley Farm Lands Associa-
tion have spent so much money in
improving their large holdings and
which is being taken up rapidly now
and being prepared for crop, as every
one knows that land in this valley
will never be any cheaper than it is
today.
Mr.. H. H. Clark, the general man.
ager of the syndicate lands, reports
that he and his office force are kept
busy night and day in handling and
caring for those who are coming tc
Calipatria daily to look over these
wonderfully productive lands.

Palace Theatre Tonight.

Mae Marsh and Robert Harron
starred in Intolerance" will be seer
in the study of a child's heart, "The
Little Liar"
How parents oftentimes misunder-
stand their children is pathetically
exemplified in the picture, when Mag
gle is considered thoroughly bad be-
cause she insists on telling her dreams
aloud to her friends and compan-
ions.
1t is doubtful if Mae Marsh has
ever had a picture in which there is
more chance to her to display her
peculiar gift for conveying her
thoughts to the audience than in
"The Little Liar"
Miss Marsh's facial expression has
contributed largely to her success on
the screen, and in her portrayal of
"The Little Liar" the young screen
star is able to characterize Margaret
particularly well because her own
imagination is unusually keen.
The story of the new play is an
exceptionally clever one and from a
psychological standpoint is one of
the strongest ever produced at the
Fine Arts studio.
A good Keystone comedy, "She
Loved Sailor" will also be shown.

CUPOID HAS AN ALLY
IN WINDY CITY NOW
(BY United Pressl

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Cupid, and girls
who overlooked their chance last
year, have an ardent ally today in
Mrs. Elizabeth Guion Dormer, cor
responding secretary Of the Chicago
Social Club. Her duties are to bring
signing swains and blushing maidens,
who otherwise might never meet, to-
gether. Object, matrimony.
The chief aim of the club, how
ever, is to establish a middle course
between the expensive clubs and cheap
cabarets. The first meeting of the
organization was attended by 100
doctors, lawyers, dentists, students,
department store clerks and steno-

THE WHATCHAMA COLUMN.
Nightcaps.

The nightcap is an old fashioned
affair, either crocheted or bottled.
Some men wear them on their heads,
others on their stomachs. You can
tell one by its tassel and the other by
it's kick.
The crocheted nightcap isn't so
bad. It's just chocheted nightcap.
But the bottled nightcap is a treach-
erous and movable feast. A nightcap
at night, it becomes an eyeopened in
the morning, an appetizer at noon
and cocktail at dinner. The Jeckyll
and Hyde of nightcaps, at is were.
The man who sleeps with one night
cap on his head and another on his
tummie usually takes them both off
in the morning and puts on crouch
And he who wears a nightcap on his
head may wear flower on his coat
but he who wears a nighcap on his
stomach wears blossom on his nose.
Nightcaps ought to be abolished
All of them. About the only thing
they ever accomplish anyhow is bald
ness of the pate or cirrhosis of the
liver. 4 a 4 fNIkp r

FARM LANDS IN THIS VALLEY
WILL NEVER BE CHEAPER.
Imperial Valley Farms Lands Asso-
citation in the North End Selling
Their Lands Very Cheaply.

If you are thinking of buying a
farm in Imperial Valley or have been

one nice profit.
Land is worth just what it will net
per acre, and the North End lands
of the Imperial Valley Farm Lands
Association-th last of the great
land holdings-are netting consid-
erably more than is being asked for
them, and at the rate the land is be-
ing taken up it will not be long be-
fore every acre will be in crop.
The prices of these lands are still
just the same as they were before
any of the enormous improvements
were made, before the present fine
water system was perfected, before
viz SIOoC SohlPoHy
invested cent of their hundreds of
thousands of dollars in improvements
and before the present belt line rail-
road, which is now under construc-
tion, was even thought of, and be-
fore there was any of this great acre
age in crop.
You can buy this land, not only at
the present low prices, but you can
also buy it on terms which give you
the opportunity of putting it in crop
at once and let the land pay for it.

Freddie Bull And
George Clark Tell
About Dog Accident

Last Wednesday afternoon when
the Dacoudays were driving along
Bluff road in their big twin-six Pack
ard, they had the misfortune to run
over the handsome young collie be-
longing to the Ebells. The dog ran
directly under the wheels and was
killed instantly.
Little Freddie Bull and George
Clark ran up to a "Palisadian" re-
porter the same afternoon to tell
about the dog accident.
"Did you hear bout it," asked
George.
"No, let me tell it," broke in Fred
die. "The Dacouday automobile ran
over the Ebell dog with his automo-
bile right over his neck and killed
him dead right there in Bluff road
and the dog couldn't get away and
the Ebell boys are awful sore about
it but 1 know Mr.. Dacoudray couldn't
help it I'm mighty sorry for the dog
he was such a nice doggie and he
liked me and liked him if you will
put that in the paper I'll give you
something nice sometime and you can
write another piece about me and
George"
And there is no doubt but that
Freddie is a very graphic little re-
porter. He's got lots of feeling, and
feeling. is everything in a reporter.
Much obliged, boys.

Labor And The
Liberty Loan

Urging organized labor to support
the Second Liberty Loan, James P.
Holland, president of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor of New York, has
pointed out that the money which
the Government must spend for the
prosecution of he war will flow large
ly inc the hands of the worker.
Business is good today, said
President Holland, "More men are
employed than ever before in the
history of the Nation. Wages paid
are uniformly higher all over the
country On top of this business
prosperity, there will be spent in this
country by our Government and the
governments of our Allies, over one
and one-haf billion dollars a month,
or approximateiy SIS per month for
every family in the entire nation.
Ninety per cent of this money or over
$65 per month for each family in the
country, is paid for labor This
means more work, more money, and
more overtime, higher wages and
more sure sound prosperity for the
entire nation, since this prosperity is
built on the individual prosperity of
every worker in it and the prosperity
of that workers family.
"Think this over. Then go to your
employer and tell him you want to
buy a Government War Loan bond.
Ask him to work out for you way
so that you can buy the bond through
his bank and pay for it in INSTALL
ments of one dollar or more every
week, out of your pay envelope.
