SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

If had been young and pretty the
Jury wouldn't have done this, walled
Mrs. Dora Waterman, Of Chicago,
al years old, when she was senten-
ced to prison for seventeen years for
killing her husband.
The story goes that Mrs. Water
man lost her temper when her hus-
band came home drunk, and she pro-
ceeded to chop him to death with an
axe.
The man who marries plain fea-
tured woman may not be any safer
than one who marries a pretty one,
but he stands better chance Of hav-
ing his death avenged if she kills
Which is something to think about
at any rate.

RAILWAY STRIk T. DECISION
COMES MONDAY.

Decision whether strike Will be
called by the six railroad unions the
members of which voted on the ques-
ton recently, of accepting or reject
ing a II 1-2 per cent wage reduction
will be made at a meeting IN Chicago
Monday. The result of the vote was
almost unanimously in favor OF GO
ing out on strike, and unless some
favorable message is received by the
labor union heads by Mopday it is
very probable that the commerce OF
the nation will be temporarily tied
up until the railroad heads and the
union can come to some agreement.

REAL SUCCESS.

The man who makes ten thousand
dollars year and spends eleven thou
sand is not getting along as well as
the man who makes six hundred and
spends only five hundred.
This is as true of flush times as
well as of dull ones.
During the past few months many
of us have had to live hard. Many OF
us have had to practice the most RI
gid economy.
If we have learned the lesson OF it
if we have learned to spend less
than we make we will profit all the
more when the good times come again
as they surely will before long.

WAR IS COSTLY.

David F. Houston, former secret
airy of the Treasury, is authority for
the statement that since the founda-
ton Of our government we have
spent in round numbers sixty-seven
billion dollars, and Of this fifty-eight
billions went for wars. That is, for
the army and navy, and their auxil-
iaries and for pensions and on the
public debt.
And yet we claim to be an enlight-
ened, civilized, peaceful and a
Christian nation.
The figures indicate that we have
been a nation of hypocrites. We have
not been living up to our professions
Maybe, though, if we of this gener-
alton give the figures the thought
that we oIgh. to give them, we viii
begin to do bette.. Ii has MOI beer
necessary in the past to spend Sc
much money on war purposes, and j
will not be necessary in the future.

COURT UPHOLDS RIGHT.

The right of the secretary Of agri-
culture, under Section of the Lever
Act, to revoke licenses of live stock
commission houses for failure to re-
turn to customers moneys found to
have been charged in excess of
moneys actually spent for feeding
stock for sale in their yards was up
held in an opinion handed down Jan
uary IL by Judge Evans. sitting in the
United States District Court for the
northern district of Illinois.
The opinion was filed in the cases
of the Lee Livestock Commission
Company and others against E. Il.
Meredith, secretary of agriculture,
and affects five separate injunction
suits of the same nature filed in Chi
cago against the secretary of agricul-
lure. Section 5 Of the Lever Act au-
thorizes the president to order the dis
continuance of any unjust practices,
and to revoke licenses for any viola
tion of the act. The president is also
authorized to promulgate regulations
governing licenses. One of these reg
ulations provided that licenses should
not make or exact any unjusbpcharge
for feeding live stock.

EIGHTY CENT LETTUCE.

Lettuce Is moving IN spite OF the re-
cent rainy weather. The roads hard
ened rapidly and the trucks are hav-
ing no trouble in carrying full loads
while the lettuce itself did not break
through and go to seed as some of the
growers feared. 1t is still possible
that this may be done. but so far
.here are no indications.
Prices are said to be holding up
fairly we'll and the state inspection,
which is being tried out FOR the first
time, is moving along and has tend
ency to strengthen the Imperial Val
ley lettuce market.
That the lettuce growers are now
netting 80 cents and occasionally a
little more a crate, is the statement
of T. Saiow, one of the leading grow
ers. "Most of the boys have good
yields" he said. "and where they grow
250 crates an acre, they will realize a
good profit if the prices keep at their
present figure"

DAVIS TRAILS
LONG DRAWN OUT

The second day of the preliminary
hearing of the case of M. 3. Bob"
Davis, of Imperial, charged with pre-
senting false proofs for the collection
of automobile insurance opened in
Justice Mayfeld's court this morning
with the prosecution, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Charles E. Scott, still
holding the upper hand.
Fifteen witnesses were placed on
the stand by Attorney O. V. Wilson
for the defense. Three attorneys were
called, three deputy sheriffs and
friends of the defendant. The attor-
neys, O. V. Wilson, taking the stand
in defense of his client and Earl and
George Banta testified that Davis
could neither read nor write. The
signing of his own name is the extent
of his education, they testified.
Probably the most important wit
ness for the defense was the evidence
of Bertha Perryman, of Imperial and
friend of Mr.. Davis's. She testified
that she saw Lewis. one of the men
vho is alleged to have stolen the car
near the Davis home about 10 o'clock
on the night of the robbery.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Griffin testi-
fled that Davis had told them of the
theft of his automobile and in the
cross examination told District Attor-
ney that no official complaint had been
made at the sheriff's office, nor was
there a report on file at the present
time.
Attorneys for the defense and pros
ecution expected to bring the case to
a close early this afternoon.

THE RR

Tonight Murphy's Comedians will
present "The Frat to the show goers
OF FL Centre, and it is though that it
will prove to be one of the most popu-
lar OF any Of the plays shown here.
A little street waif is picked up by
a prominent novelist, who is writing a
story concerning enc of her type, and
he wishes to keep her close by, where
he can observe and study her nature.
She, ON account of her naive ways and
direct way OF talking, speedily earns
the name of "Thc Brat" and also
wins the heart of most of those she is
thrown in contact with.
When the story is finished, the
writer is about to throw her back into
the streets, when something hapepns
that it would not be fair to tell you
about now, and changes the whole
course of life for "The Brat"
Chock full of comedy, plenty of
human interest and sweet little love
story combines to make "The Brat"
real, interesting, and appealing play;
a play that has made a Dig hit where
ever shown. Both on the dramatic
stage and in the screen version, it has
swept the country from enc end to the
other.
g. "The Brat" will be shown here un-
til Sunday, when it will be shown at
Imperial.

BERT LYTELL SCORES.

Bert Lytell scored another ten
strike on the screen yesterday when he
appeared at the Topic theatre in the
new Metro picture, "The Price of Re-
demption." This picture marks the
latest appearance of the popular
Metro star on the silversheet, and
Judging by popular verdict, it is cas-
lily his best. The picture itself is a
powerful adaptation of l. A. R.
Wylie's famous novel, "The Temple of
Dawn" and provides Mr.. Lytell with
a vehicle suitable to his great drama
tic talent
Nh. Lytell appears as a young Eng
lishman who first distinguishes him
self as q military hero, and then sinks
to the depth of gradation, only finally
to redeem himself through the love of
a little child. 1t was gripping char
acter study that the young Metro star

the sheer appeal of it's charm and
dramatic power.
The picture is shown for the last
times today.
