the following were adopted:
Requesting the Farm Bureau to or
graniez department for the market

ity.
Indorsing the bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator Breed and in the
Assembly by Assemblyman Satter-

Board of Supervisors for assistance in
arranging the Assembly and to those
who contributed to the program.
The morning session began at 1890
o'clock with a talk on date culture by
DR.. Forbes that illuminated the pos
sibilities of the industry in the South
west.
The debate on Livestock VS. Cotton,
between s. E. Robinson and E. r. ST.
mon and w. E. Wilsie and M. w.
Conkling, was decided in favor of the
livestock men. The judges were R.
f. Wills, Dan Leonard and l.. j.

dict was made on points, but that many
factors were left undiscussed and that
the general subject should not be con-
sidered decided either way.

Nothing. Succeeds
Like Success

Cities and towns in purely agricul-
tural communities depend wholly up
on the area they serve for growth and
prosperity.
Imperial Valley is essentially agri-
cultural. Manufacturing enterprises
are things of the distant future.
The town, therefore, with the lar
lest area of productive land surround
ing it will eventually be the metropo-
lis of this valley.
Calipatria has three times the cul-
tivated area to draw support from
possessed by any other valley town.
That it has the wisdom and fore
sight to keep intact the trade it en-
oys today is seen in the haste being
made in building railroads to outly-
ing portions of it's territory.
If Calipatria were depending upon
it's own unaided efforts to cash in the
immediate future, hope might be long
deferred.
But it is not.
Forty-seven thousand acres tribu-
tary to Calipatria are in the hands of
Los Angeles millionairies, who are
furnishing the money necessary for
rapid development. The townsite of
Calipatria, too, is in the hands of the
same interests. The Southern Pacific,
likewise, is financially interested in
the future of Calipatria and the North
End.
Calipatria has a chance that no
other Imperial Valley town ever had
or ever will have.

"The life of every actor is de-

Theda Bara, who plays the leading
role in the film. "Every person who
plays on the stage or on the screen
leads a double life-one life before

are all DR.. Jekylls and Mr.. Hydes,

lures has afforded opportunity for de-
ve,oping it.
"Because an actress leads this dou-
BILE life," Miss Bara says, 81 believe
size should let the public know only
the side of her life which is fashioned
for the public. She should not apepar
on tie streets or in cafes or theatres
unless she confidently believes that
she is well disguised.
"Otherwise, the public will quickly
get to know her, will think of her
always in terms of her street clothes,
and will refuse to throw itself under
the influence of her acting. Then all
the illusion of the theatre is gore and
the actors art is destroyed"
