(, others who have available land are
urged to begin at once to plant home

any fruit on the place should plan to
give better care in pruning and spray

Attention is called to the shortage
of good trees and vines and consequent
high prizes, but stress is laid upon the
fact that trees for one-fourth-acre

chose number Of starred players
who would comprise an all-star cast
in every sense OF the word.
House Peters, who was selected for
the leading male role of Blair Corn
wall. a sturdy Canadian cattieman, has
been one of the outstanding figures OF
years.
GIis work in 'The Great Reemer," a
recent Maurice Tourneur production.
was hailed as one of the triumphs OF
the year 1t Is said tnat the creation
OF the role Of Cornwall affords him
even greater scope and opportunity to
create an unforgettaDle screen char
acter
Florence Vidor, who is co-starred
with Peters, has been cast as Nance
Abbott, a luxury-loving daughter OF
an aristocratic English family, strong
in the matter Of lineage but weak
financially. Miss Vidor Is Of striking
beauty and unequaled dramatic tai
ents.
Joseph Kilgour, who assumes the
role of Willie Chase, is a favorite OF
both stage and screen, having been
featured both on Broadway and on the

Grain Planting Is Still In Season

"luh AZ SCalSUu
Clemosn College, Nov. 13.-The re-
cent rains have put good season in
the ground and made fall planting Of
grains possible in many places where
it has not been possible SO far. 1t Is
not too late to plant wheat, oats, rye
or barley, where they are to be grown
for hay or grain, suggests Prof c. P.
Blackwell, agronomiat. There is, also,
still time enough to plant them as
cover crops except where they are to
be followed by cotton.
1t would probably not be advisable
to plant cover crops this late on land
that is to be planted in cotton next
year, as the cover crop would have
to be plowed in so early that 1t would
make small growth. Cover crops
should always be planted early on
land that Is to bo used for cotton the
next year.
1t is generally advisable to plant
oats much earlier than this. though
they will make good crop planted
now.

OFFICIALSASSERT
Ellis Island Authorities
Charge Congress of
Failure to Provide.

NEW YORK, March ~. - The
United States has been left entirely
without a passport system and imr
migration has been set back TO
primitive basis, all because of an
oversight during the last few days
of the Congress ending March T..
Ellis Island authorities say.
immigration officials have been
informed that three writs of habeas
corpus pending before the United
states District. Court, which put the
passport service to a test. cannot be
argued until the Attorney General
at washington solves the riddle re-
sulting from the neglect of Con-
gress.
All national precautions for i'm
migration control are, for the time
being, in a hopeless muddle. There
is nothing to hinder the multitudes
from Europe from piling in on ships
and submitting themselves to the
immigration officials here.
The law requiring persons to get
passports before leaving this coun-

MEXICANSREVTVE
OLD EASTERTIDE
RELIGIOUS RITES
Weird Pageant of Judas
Recalls Days Before
Revolution.

MEXICO CITY. March 27.-Not
since the regime of Porfrio Diaz has
Easter and Holy Week been marked
with such elaborate and original OBJ
servances as this year. From Thurs
day until this evening all the Cath
Ollie churches were filled day and
night. Some of the edifices, which
have been closed for years, reopened
their doors for the, first time.
This latter fact Is explained by
officials as being due to the encour-
aging religious policy Of the Obre-
gon administration though the
cabinet is non-Catholic in personnel.
The Protestant services also were
marked by big attendance.
Gfotesaue Festival.
A groteslue festival, devoted to
the humiliation and death of Judas
Iscariot. was participated in here
yesterday by thousands. Huge pa
pier-mache efhgies of Judas were
hung ever the streets everywhere
and all day men. women and chill
trayed Christ" upon poles.
1dC-i cAu6y Ol JudAS was nlled
with fire crackers with the fuses in
the moustache of the figure and
many of them were stuffed with
gifts of every description.
Then, as the bells of the great
Of Mexico City tolled an
evening hour the fuses were light
ed and the erfigies exploded amid
great rejoicing.
ThieYs on Gross.
Many of the people carried pc
culiarly made Eattles which created
a sound representing the breaking
of the bones of the thieves on the
cross --.
The explosions were followed by
a wild scramble for the dummies
which were torn apart by the peo-
pie in their eagerness to seize the
concealed gifts.
Coins representing the thirty
pieces of silver paid Judas were
thrown to the crowd from some
clubs and the windows of wealthy
residents.
The Indian villages report that
Holy Week was celebrated in an
almost fanatical way. particularly
in Axcala where there was a pas
sion play procession. They were
2,00e participants who were guarded
by mounted police.
The latter precaution was taken
because last year the Indians nailed
a member of their tribe to q cross
at his own wish.

HARDING TO NAME
BOARD FOR PROBE

coNrINUEp FROM PAGE ONE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE
President stated. was the decision
to name an investigating committee
to inquire into the failures of the
service given war veterans, to elimi-
nate its abuses and to lay the whole
situation frankly before Congress
and the country.
The committee is to be named
within the next few days. and the
work of investigation will begin
promptly. The findings of the COM
mittee are to be submitted person.
ally to the President in the form of
a report which the Executive will
in turn send to Congress. where it
will be used as The basis for reme-
dial legislation.
All Phases of Problem Talked.
Every phase of the breakdown in
of soldier relief was
discussed by the President and his
guests. Col. Galbraith is under
stood to have related detailed ex-
periences OF members of the Ameri-
can LtkiOh WIN are IN
physical or financial condition be-
cause Of the failure of the present
system. Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt, one of the founders of the
American Legion. also is said to
have given the President a picture
OF the situation. The question of a
cash bonus was not raised at the
meeting.
Following the announcement by
the President OF the early appoint
ment of the investigating committee,
II was widely predicted that Charles
G. Dawes would direct the probe
into the system of soldier relief.
Dawes at one time was strongly
backed. for Secretary Of the Treas
ury when President-elect Harding
was selecting his official family. As d
brigadier general in the army,
Dawes achieved a wide reputation
as an executive. becoming pur-
chaser of supplies of the A. Z. F.
forces.
Sawyer Appointment Probable.
Brig. Gen. Charles Z. Sawyer is
considered certain to be a member
of the committee. Gen. Sawyer re-
dent to make a preliminary survey
of soldier relief, with the view of
combining all government agencies
oY this description under one head.
Such consolidation. II is believed.
would be a long step toward in
creasing efficiency of handling SOL
dier relief.
1t appears to be the purpose Of
the present administration to deal
with the problem first by giving
prompt and skilled medical atten-
ton to disabled soldiers so that
they can resume as soon as possible
the places they formerly held in the
world of industry.
Gen. Sawyer recently outlined the
policy of the administration when
he declared that I'VE will give the
disabled service men everything we
| can. for nothing is too good for
them"
