COMING TO THE PALACE.

Presented by big company, the
brilliant musical spectacle, "My Sol
dier Girl" coming to the Palace the
atre Wednesday, offers nearly three
hours of the most novel ideas ever
presented to the theatre-going public
IN the past decade. A smashing hit
from it's first performance, playing to
capacity houses night after night,
goes to prove that this clever novelty
offers something different. Trans
forming from a scene equal in gran
deur to the clever high art "Follies"
settings to an aviation field in Miami,
Fla, and staging the final scene on
battlefield Somewhere in France"
required close study by the scenic
artists in Americas best studios to
bring out the required effects. Some
have said it was the book, others
that it was the music, still others de-
clare that it's the combination Of
the book, score, costumes, scenery
and the excellent company working
in harmony that makes "My Soldier
Girl" the success it is, both artis-
tically and financially. There are
some twenty musical number par
ticipated in by the big chorus.

TRADE: BOARD.
HAS N[E}ARG()
On MULES [: To
| OWE: cal
No Animals Will Be Al
lowed 20, Cross the Bor-
der, by Order American
Commission.

Since The early part Of last No
vemEer an American, J. S. Dodge,
obtained . concession from the Can
u government for the taxation of
mules at the rate Of $500 per mule
a month. There are 900 mules work
ing On the Mexican side and the sum
Of $4500 las been collected month
ly, while the return to the govern
ment is said to be but 81 per mule.
Mules have been taken into
Mexico under bond and when re-
turned the bond has been released.
The ranchers-mostly Americans op-
raised a howl, on account Of not rel
ishing this tax, with view to get
ting relief, as this tax, in addition
to many other expenses, has become
burdensome.
An order from the War Trade
Board, made at tie request Of the
State Department, fcrbidding the eX-
port of any mules hereafter, either
1ls~~fond CT otherwise, was received
by Deputy Collector Of Customs E.
r. Brown, Friday evening. Collec-
Ter Brown mas notified the ranchers
whose bonds expire in few days,
the return of the mules
or the forfeiture of the bonds.
This also means that several hun
dfed mules will have to be brought
back at once or within very short
5ine, or their bonds forfeited, and,
as the animals are needed by the
r&Hchers in Lower California, Pc
euliar situation arises.
Iho embargo only applies to Low
ar California and not to other por-
lions of the border and it is the be-
lief that the taxation of mules in
Governor Cantu's domain has all to
do with the order from the War
Trade Board.
The American ranchers are bank
ing on Governor Cantu to release
this tax and in that event the en-
bargo will be lifted at once.

nccs' Welfare and Reform Society of

tee has already commenced to mature
plans whereby systematic instruc-
ton ma. be had by its members in
elementary reading, writing, arith-
metiC, and the elements OF local,

One Of their committees is an ar
bitration committee and it has been
at work this last week. Two Hindu
lawsuits in progress were settled
outside the courts, through the ef-
forts Of this committee, and the cases
dismissed. Several dispute which or
d,nacily would have led to court ac-
tions were successfully arbitrated.
In connection with this feature of
the society's endeavor, a member of
the local BARB. c. Nichols-has
been retained by it for expert ad-
vice and assistance, as we'll as for as
sistance in other and more general
