ON THE LEGISLATURE
(By United Press)

Sacramento, Jan. 22.-Here's one
for the kids: Assemblyman Baldwin
wants the school law amended so that
all schools in the state will be closed
on Labor day.
Assemblyman J. E. Mannings of
San Anselmo is friend Of the pho
nograph. He designates it as "house-
hold necessity" and wants it included
in the list of exemptions from at
tachment granted debtors.
Frank Mouser, Los Angeles assem-
blyman, leads all others in the num-
Der of measures intl oduced to date
He has put in IA bills, two constitu-
tional amendments and one concurrent
resolution.
"Anti-Vaccination" Gelder, assem-
blyman from Berkeley, has the distinc-
ton of being the first California leg
islator to appear minus white stiff
collar. Gelder appeared on the scene
wearing a gray shirt with collar of
like material attached. comfortable
and warm" was his one best reason.

Palace This Week.

There is not a star in the worlC
today who has the sustained drawing
power and popularity of Clara Kim
ball Young. She is not the product
of fake publicity or sensationalism
She has not been "made" by lurid and
shoddy plays, appealing to the baser
instincts. In personality and capacity
she is one of the geniuses of the
screen. At the head of her own cor
poration, she appeared in "The Com
mon Law" which was first published
in a magazine with more than a mil
lion circulation, and its author, Rob-
ert w. Chambers, is the highest-paid
writer of fiction in the entire world
This production is fair sample of
what one means when speaking of 100
per cent pictures"

ANENT THE MOTION
PICTURES TO BE SHOWN
--TONIGHT--
At the L. & s. Tonight.

"The Wandering Horde" Broadway
Star Feature, in three parts, will be
shown at the L. & S. tonight. The
synopsis of the play is as follows:
The brakes are applied. With a
screech the long freight comes to a
halt, and from one of the cars band
of hoboes scamper to the ground and
leave the yards to find secluded
place where they may eat. A newcom-
er enters the scene-young, handsome,
frank, but lacking the signs of pow
erty which distinguish the others.
When they hear his hard luck story,
he is welcomed as one of the band
and invited to partake of their frugal
meal.
Wood, the stranger, soon makes
friends with the "hoboes," especially a
man named Brown, who tells him his
tale. He had been unemployed for a
long time, he says, and was unable to
support his wife and daughter. Then
when he obtained position in town
far away, and by dint of careful saw
ing, had amassed fortune of $1O0, he
felt reluctant to spend part of it on
fare, and had chosen the "side door
Pullman" as cheaper conveyance
than the real way. When the trip is
resumed, Wood goes on with the
others. In wreck, he suffers injuries
and Brown takes him to his house
to be cared for by his wife. After his
recovery, Wood becomes fond of his
new friends. Lola, Browns daughter,
finds herself fast losing her heart to
Wood, and is disappointed on learning
through newspaper clipping that he
is really wealthy and is not one of
them. She takes the paper to Wood
and shows him the clipping, which
says that he has been ruined by re-
versal in the stock market. Suspect
ing that this is the work of Travers,
who has been working against him,
Wood starts out for revenge. He learns
that Travers is out driving in an auto
and follows him, but discovers that
vengeance has been taken from his
hands when Travers' machine is de-
stroyed in a railroad blast, and all its
occupants are killed.

NORTH SEEKING TO
WIN ORANGE PRIZES

San Bernardino, Jan. 22.-Keen COM
petition between the Southern and
Northern citrus fruit districts has de-
veloped in the National Orange Show,
to be held at San Bernardino, Febru-
ary 20 to 2S.
World honors are to be awarded for
The best quality fruits, and as in years
past, the citrus fruit growers of Cali
fornia are preparing to enter the most
luscious oranges and lemons their
orchards produce. Last year River
side won the, sweepstakes prize for
oranges and Etiwanda the sweepstakes
prize for lemons, returning to South
ern California the awards that the
year before had gone to the northern
districts-the oranges to Lindsay and
lemons to Carpenteria.
This year the northern districts will
seek to recapture the honors. Lind
say, Strathmore, Hamilton City, San
ia Paula, Fillmore, Carpenteria, and
other districts, are now preparing ex-
|tensive displays. Los Angeles, River
side, Orange and San Bernardino
counties districts are ready to seek
to retain for Southern California the
of producing the best fruits.
Awards by the National Orange
Show are valuable assets to fruit
brands in the markets Of the East.

FRJTIT STANDARDIZATION
ACT TO BE STRENGTHEN Ell
(By United Press)

Sacramento, Jan. 22.-Of especial
interest to fruit growers are the
amendments to fruit standardization
act which are fathered by Assembly,
man George w. Ashley.
These amendments were endorsed at
the state convention of the fruit
growers last fall. In the main, they
strengthen the present act, which was
drawn by Ashley two years ago.
At that time there was some doubt
about the state having right to at
tempt to protect its industries and
their reputation in outside markets.
Since then the United States Su-
preme court has decided that state
has this right. Therefore, it is now
proposed to make the act more strin-
gent-to make it apply to shipments
within the state as we'll as to inter-
state shipments of fruit, and includ-
ing citrus fruits as we'll as all de-
ciduous fruit, the apple excepted. Last
year the act affected $4,000 cars of
fruit shipped out of the state. If
the amendments pass, the act will
affect $4,000 carloads of fruit each
year.
Another important change is that
the amendments will make it the duty
of the governor to appoint fruit
packing Inspector for a county on pc
tition of so fruit growers of the coun-
ty, provided the supervisors have re-
fused to appoint such an Inspector.
Under the present law the fruit grow
ers have no resource if the supervis-
ors of their county fail to appoint an
inspector.

LET THE CALIPATRIA RAILROAD
INCREASE THE VALUE OF
YOUR FARM.
Buy 40 or 80 Acres Now at the Pres
ent Low Prices.

The North End lands of the Impe-
rial Valley Farm Lands Association
today offer the best opportunity of
any farm land in the state and those
who buy here now are going to get
in on a mighty good proposition, but
it requirs immediate action, because
the actual construction of the Cali
patria railroad is under way, which
will open up these farms to the best
transportation facilities.
In the first place, these farms are
the pick of the Valley-good soft soil
that will raise anything-and they are
actually worth today considerably
more than the price that is asked, and
the railroad is going to add great
deal to their value, making them the
most desirable farm lands available.
In the face of all the tremendous
amount of improvements that have
been made, you can still buy them at
the same price and on the same easy
terms, but you must act Immediately
if you wish to get in on this, because
they are going fast. Wise farmers
and investors are getting in and buy
ing, realizing that such good lands
at such prices cannot last long.
Go to Calipatria now and let Mr..
H. H. Clark, the general manager for
the syndicate, show you over the
property, and then you can see for
yourself just what the land offers.-
Ad.

nesday to the highest bidder above

PROVIDES FOR
ADEQUATE
SUPPLY

At joint meeting of the directors
of water companies Nos. 6, 8 and 12
held Saturday afternoon in CaleXico
an agreement was reached to expend
$85, 900 in building canal from the
Cudahy check to connect with the
Cerro Prieto canal. The vote upon
the question was reached after a
short discussion, and was unanimous.
About 20 persons were in attendance
at the meeting.
Work on the new enterprise will be
begun as soon as arrangements can
be made, it was stated after the meet
ing. The Importance of getting wa
ter through the canal at the earliest
possible date is realized by all, and
by making an early start the direc-
tors believe there is no doubt about
completing the project and having ii
in operation before the time when the
water is needed for the seasons irri-
eating.
While the Westside users will be
the first to be directly benefited by
the increased volume of water, the
canal is expected to provide, the East
side users will be given additional as
surance of an adequate water supply.
A great advantage also lies in the
fact that the water used by the West
side ranchers for irrigation purposes
will be settled, and there will be less
trouble-practically none, the direc-
tors believe-on account of silt. The
settling will be done at Volcano lake
before the water starts on it's course
to the Westside lands.
The new canal will take water from
above Sharp's heading, and in doing
this will relieve the Alamo channel
of much of it's present burden of car
rying the big load of $4,000 feet from
the Cudahy check to Sharp's landing.
An additional advantage lies in the
fact that the new canal will act as a
suiceway, suicing out the Alamo and
overcoming the difficulty that has
been experienced in dealing with the
silt problem. This plan is in con-
formity with the recommendations
made by Former Chief Engineer
lockwood of the Imperial lrr'agti m
District several months ago.
Indirectly, the directors point out,
the new canal will prove a blessing
to the entire valley, and one which
will be apparent in supplying water
to the Eastside lands as well as the
Westside, as soon as the irrigation
selson opens.
The directors of Districts +, 8 and
12 at the meeting yesterday discussed
and gave further commendation to the
proposed bond issue, which will be'vot-
ed upon by the entire district. They
decided to institute a campaign of
education, and will begin this work
at once, committee composed of one
director from each district working
in conjunction with the newspapers Of
the Valley in getting all facts per-
tanning to the bond issue and it's #
fects before the people in crested.
