NO ELECTION At
IMPERIAL TOMORROW

Attorney Leo Youngworth of Los
Angeles, on behalf of the Imperial Ii
quor men, argued demurrer to the
petition for an injunction to stop the
election to be held in that city tomor-
row before Judge Cole. 1t appears
that the hearing will not be finished
today, and that the temporary re-
straining order now in effect will
hold, preventing the election.
Youngworth contended in his argu-
ment that the signatures of but 10 per
cent of the voters were needed to the
tification of the city clerk to the elec-
tion call made the call legal.

ament this winter is attracting
nore than usual attention. Last
ear there were more than 160 men
..etered in the seven boxing and four
Wrestling classes of the tournament
and this is expected to be exceeded
heavily this year. The contest opens
January 21.
Entries so far receveived include
several from Wyoming and three
from Nebraska, where newspapers
ere cooperating with the club in Sc
curing entrants. In former years,
though by far the greater number
Of entants have represented regular
clubs, many men have entered as
unattached" This practive is en-
as tending to bring in all
possible entrants.
The prizes this year are gold and
silver watches. Only amateurs in
he strict sense of the word are per-
mitted to compete. Decisions are
made by three judges, whose names
are not disclosed and who are
changed each night of the tourna-
nent. The tournament generally
asts seven ore eight days, with from
fifteen to eighteen boxing or wrest-
!ng matches nightly. This year it
robably will continue longer. Be-
jide the two states named, entries
nay be made from Utah, Colorado,
New Mexico, Kansas and Oklahoma.
The classes for boxing are divided
S follows: Under 10S pounds, 10S to
Is pounds, 115 to 125 pounds, 125
1875 pounds, 135 to 145 pounds, 145

Junior Tennis Club continues to hold
it's monthly tournaments without in
corruption.
Such internationally known players
as Maurice Mclaughlin, William
Johnstone, and practically every other
California player who has become
famous on the courts is
a graduate of this club and their
playing was fostered and encouraged
by this organization. The park
courts have been termed the ezra

Junior Tennis Club the "wet nurse"
Prizes worth the winning are
played for at each of these monthly
held during each of the
twelve months in the year. 1t has
been found that competition, with
the added incentive of prizes, is the
best method of getting the young
sters to take up tennis with a view
to becoming proficient and to this is
ascribed, in a large measure, the sue
cess of California players. =,

OF LEATHER

w AR demands leather-leathe. for
soldiers shoes, leather for har-
- ness, leather for equipment of
many Kinds. In this. country
there Is no such surplus that we can

wasting leather not to care for and
preserve it properly. In tho army ani

We will not need so many new ones
and there will be more left for Others
Ihe following suggestions from til.
leather and. paper laboratory of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture can be utilized by everyone Who
walks.
Shoes should-abe oiled or creased
whenever the" leather begins to eet
hard or dry. They should be brushed
thoroughly and then all the dirt and
mud that remains washed of with
warm water, the excess water peinx
taken of with a dry cloth. While tae
shoes are still wet and warm apply
the OH or grease with a swab Of wool
or flannel. 1t is best to have the oil
OF grease about as warm7as the hand
can bear and it should be rubbed we'll
into the feather, preferably with the
palm. II necessary, the oil can be APP
piled to dry leather, but it pepetratas
better when. the latter is wet. Aftcr
treatment the shoes should be left to
dry in q place that is warmzsnot hot.
Castor oil lis satisfactorily for shoes
that are to be polished; for plainci
{ fOotgears neatsf0otA fish or oleine may
be substituted. 1fitis desired to make

beef tallow may be added to any o!
these substances at the rate of o hall
