5Bll' Farnum
Loves to Play
Heroic Parts

William Farnum should have been
born away back in the days when
knighthood was in flower. Such good
looks as his are wasted on mere mod
ern civilization. The thought was in
voluntary as he came clanking forward
with high boots, spurs and the black
and gold braided glory of Don Cesar
de Bazan. And when he bowed and
waved his plumed beaver hat one could
not help feeling sorry that the days of
leisured courtliness had given place to
an era of "How dye do ?" "Helio!" and
$50 long" syncopations.
"Now tell mean l interviewing Don
Cesar or William Farnum?" one in
ouired OF the gallant gentleman who
stopped mskinS pictures OF Dumas's
hero at the Fox Film studios long
enough to give TN interview.
"You are looH1Dr at me for the first
AMI last tine" he said, with magnifi-
cert air. ~ am shout to be married.
Behold my bride,"

Vie Quinn Says Skinny

Vie Quinn is so frail, apparently,
that puff Of wind might be expected
to blow her away. But start up the
jazz and watch Vie dance! She did it
at the Palace Theater all last week and
did it so we'll that even the moro 80
phistiated theatergoers gasped and

EXPRESS MELON
SHIPMENTS EAST

According to G. r. Mcintosh, who
is in charge of the local office OF
the Pacific Fruit Express, the first
freight car of cantaloupes will leave
for the East the 30th OF this month
This is the information he has re-
ceived from the distributors, and is
as accurate guess as can be made.
Express shipments are picked up.
The past two days, saw five express
cars start to the East, and six cars
are spotted today and will probably
go out this evening. Shipments in
carload lots started a day later this
year than last, but the first two days
total equals that for the first three
days of last year.
Indications point to the big rush
coming "all at once" and within a few
days. The Westmorland district es-
pecially is nearly ready, and it is
freely predicted that within ten days
there will be seventy-five cars day
leaving Brawley.
Weather conditions have been per-
feet for cantaloupes for the past few
days, and the cold weather and wind
of last week did not do. much damage
it has been found.
