FIRMS
MAKE XMAS
MERRY FOR
EMPLOYEES
Bonuses and Christmas
Gifts Distributed to Faith
full Employees by Largest
Firms in City; Christmas
Spirit Prevails in Valley.

Employees of a number of I'M
perial Valley firms will have
their Christmas made merry this
year by gifts from their employ
ers, as tokens of the Christmas
spirit which prevails in the valley
and the faithful service given by
the employees during the year.
In some cases the gifts will be of
substantial amounts while in others
they will take the nature of small
messages of friendship.
The Press has attempted to compile
a list of these firms, and hopes that
none have been missed but this seems
highly improbable. The list so far as
known at this time is as follows:
Varney Bros; A. C. Johnston, man.
hger today said, "Varney Brothers
this year will give each of it's en-
ployees a Christmas gift. In some of
the stores these will probably be
handled in different manner but in
practically all cases the amount will
be the same, sum indicated by Mr..
Varney."
Holton Power Company; f. w.
Holton Power Company will this year
employee who has been with the COM
pany six months or more Christ
mas gift of a $500 insurance policy
This plan has been in operation for
several years, for instance a man who
has been with the company four years
would have in the aggregate of $4,000
worth. And this plan continues until
the employee has $500 worth of in
surance."
Imperial Valley Hardware Com
anv; Geo. Anderson. manager today
said, "The Imperial Valley Hardware
Company has always made it a policy
to remember it's employees at Christ
mas time. The company operates
under a bonus system and these are
distributed later but each employee
will be remembered this Christmas in
some way. Naturally in prosperous
years the rewards are more substan-
tial than in other ones. We have
friendly interest in each employee
and are glad to give them some
Christmas token at this time of the
year"
Edgar Bros: This company has
always followed the policy of re-
membering all employees at Christ
mas. The employees are under the
bonus system and these are distribut-
ed later. Each employee will be re-
membered in some way this Christ
mas. In times past the gifts have
taken the form of Liberty Bonds or
of similar nature.
Southern Trust and Commerce
Bank; Paul Black, manager an
nounced that the employees of that
institution were given a substantial
bonus on December Is, graduated ac-
cording to their earning capacity and
multiplied according to the number
of years of service.
Security Commercial and Savings
Bank; A 10 to II per cent cash bonus
was given to the. force of the Secur-
ity Commercial and Savings Bank as
Christmas present. The sum was in
accordance with their salaries and in
some instances was 5000 and $500.

SUNDAY BIC DAY.
LOCALS BATTLE
FOR FIRST PLACE

The deciding game of the first half
of the 1920-2l winter baseball league
will be played on the FL Centre
grounds Sunday afternoon, starting
promptly at 2 clock, when the local
nine will cross beam sticks with the
Brawley team in the last game of
the first section of play.
To date the local team has slight
feet average They have played four
games, winning all of them. The 7
to tie with the Calexico team in Ell
Centre some weeks ago put them one
game behind in the rv:les. Brawley
has played five games and lost one
giving them percentage of 800.
If the Ell Centro nine loses the
coming game they will drop into
second position with 800 per cent,
while Brawley will take the lead at
S25.
The tied game with Calexico will
not be played off without the decision
of leadership rests on the contest.
Sickafoose, recently released by
Brawley and who knocked Mexicali
sidewinding last week. will pitch in
Sundays game. He will be opposed
by Best, the best that Brawley has
to offer and considered one of the
fastest pitchers in the league.
Pitcher Best has been offered and
will receive $500 from the Brawley
team, if he is successful in downing
Ell Centre Sunday, according to in
formation received by Chief Reber
and for that reason, said Reber,
Brawley is out to win. "We are also
out to win and will do our best.
Nothing more can be asked of any
man than that. We have beat Braw-
ley once on their hoLlc ,rounds and
we feel confident we can trun the
trick again on our lot
Bill Cicoria, an outfielder from the
Idaho League was signed by Chief
Reber yesterday and with batting
average of over 500 he is expected
to materially aid Ell Centre in their
clash on Brawley. The man plays a
fast game in the field as we'll as at

LONDON, Dec. "a. - Starva-
tiOn is expected to bring an early
end to the ''state of war" now ex-
isting between the Regency of
QuarncrO' at Fiume and the
kingdom Cf Italy.
The 48-hour limit given to civilians
to leave the city expired at 10 o'clock
last night, and it appears that the
Italian government troops have set
tied down to wait for hunger to defeat
D'Annunzio's plan to combat the en-
forcement of the treaty of Rapallo.
One government soldier is reported
to have been killed by bomb thrown
by one Of D'Annunzio's legionares
and shots are said to have been fired
at an Italian destroyer, but thus far
the "war" has not been marked by
any notable hostilities
A barrage of proclamations has
been hurled into the rival camps by
D'Annuncio.
General Caviglia, commander of the
government troops, is forming cor
don around Fiume.
