All this is comparatively recent history.

II this sort of thing goes on through the
summer, another coal famine is inevitable.
Next winter in all probability will be severe.
a severe winter generally follows mild
one. 1t will be physically impossible for
the coal industry or the railroads to stock
up the, country OIL coal after winter sets In.
Spring and summer are the most favorable
seasons for coal production and coal de-

be much worse, is seen in the following

Going to the home of her uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. B. C. Milan Of
this city, Miss Violet daughter of S.
Emerson of Calexico, accompanied by
i. w. Allen of the irrigation district,
waited for the arrival of a minister.
The Milans thought they were mere
ly having a friendly call Friday eve
ming and kept thinking so until Rev.
George A. Hartman, pastor CT the
Presbyterian church of FL Centre ar
rived, when the announcement was
made that wedding was about to
take place.
In the presence of the uncle and
aunt and cousin of the bride Miss En-
erson became Mrs. Allen. They re-
turned to Calexico where they will
make their home. The bride is Cal

work of the Methodist churches for

plans for the coming year outlined.
Greater stress is to be laid on the
graded and departmentalized Sunday
school work. Also schools of Relig-
ious Week Day Instruction are to be
launched as opportunity is made in
the towns of the valley. The finan-

and the pastors were pleased with the
spirit of the churches. They all
seem hopeful, and sacrificingly liber-

Conference will meet in Los Angeles

guess that some changes would be
made in two or three pastorates al

Money for this purpose is only avail
able through public subscription on
the part Of local business and pro-

today that public entertainment with
a number of special features was being
planned as a benefit for the prize
fund.
According to Otto Jeancon there is
considerable local talent available for
an entertainment of this kind, and
talent which would be gladly donated
for the purpose.
Inquiries for space for concessions
are being received and it looks now
like the amusement end of the show
will resemble a real circus.
The second meeting of the genral
committee was held last night at the
headquarters in the office of the Edgar
Bros. Realty company. Reports from
the committees which have been SELL

cate that the mammoth tent will be

reported that he had received many
applications for space from business
houses located in the coast cities.

SMALL COMMISSION
FOR YARD OPERATORS

How to collect the bale tax on the
cotton in the Brawley yards was. the
subject Of prolonged discussion at
the meeting of the city trustees las.
night in Brawley. City Attorney w.
/. Wilson had been directed by the
board at the previous meeting, to in
sist upon the payment of the tax,
which is classed as a personal prop
erty tax. Various obstacles nave pre-
sented themselves. The cotton is
owned by numerous holders, with a
more or less complicated title, in some
cases. To collect from each individual
is almost an impossbility. The tax
is 54 cents bale and more than 400
bales were stored at one time in the
local yards.
Finally it was tacitly agreed that
a small sum be allowed the cotton
yard operators for collection, as the
best way out of the difficulty.

OLD NEST PLtASES
PALACE AUDIENCE

"The Old Nest" genuine American
photoplay, story Of mother love and
self sacrifice proclaimed by critics
and writers everywhere as one of the
greatest motion pictures of all time,
was presented at the Palace theater
last night, as the initial offering Of
Proprietor Cook and Manager CAL
dares to the people of I'll Centro for
the winter season.
"The Old Nest" is series of dra-
matte episodes that pictures real peo-
pie doing real things. a Installation
of actual life, the like of which is
shown every day in thousands of
homes the world over.
Two great audiences of FL Centrans
taxed the capacity of the Palace the
atcr last night to view this presenta-
tion of Ruper Hughes master story
of everyday lifht, as prepared and
placed on the screen by Reginald
Barker for Go1dwyn. Barker FOR many
years director of feature production
of the red blooded, thrilling kind, was
not known as maker of human in

"Bunty Pulls the Strings"

cate sense of artistry and craps of

it was only natural that he should be

The result of his work
was shown on the silver sheet at the
Palace theater last hight and the
amazing enthusiasm with which it was
received justifies the statement that
'The Old Nest" is one of the creates.
pictures of all time.
The picture is the finest tribute il
is possible to pay. to American mother
hood; portrayal of the noblest, sweet
est heroine in all the world--your
mother. It is picture which grips
and holds the emotions. 1t makes the
heart throb with JOY and grief; ring
with laughter and Abb with tears ana
it tells a story that we all know to he
truth itself.
The Palace was almost unrecogni2-
able to its old friends last night, so
radical has been the change in it's ap-
pearance. Refitted and redecorated
throughout it provided a beautiful
setting for this great picture. The
lighting effects We're especially beau

showing on the screen was both ap-

RAINBOW VETS.
MEET SEPT 24-25

With stores, office buildings and

the pine tree in honor of the occasion,
entertainment lining up, delegations
from San Diego to Seattle sending
word that they are coming to town in
Cd and overseas caps to flood the
streets with khaki, and banquet COM
mittees busily in search of the right
sort of special entertainment, smokes
and refreshment, the reunion of the
Ninety-first Division, to be held in
Los Angeles Saturday and Sunday,
Sept. oath and 25th promises to be
the biggest veterans event the city
has seen since the troops came home.
In order that the Division may
show it's, strength, Cd has been
adopted as the uniform for the two
days. Badges with space for the
wearers' name and unit above and a
pine tree dangling below will be pass
ed out to all who register at head
quarters-Los Angeles Post, Ameri-
can Legion, clubrooms in the Wash
ington building, Cigarettes, apples,
postcards, matches, candy, every
thing the soldier had passed to him
through the train window, will be
handed out at booths to bemaintained
by welfare organizations at head
quarers. There will be automobiles
waiting to show the stranger around
the city. There will be bands to
make marching from depot to head
quarters easy and to lead the parade
to take place Sunday. The only thing
the visitors will miss will be the
French maids running from the road
side to kiss him as he enters town.
But then, Los Angeles girls do love
the uniform and you can't tell what
they may do in private. And Holly
wood movie queens do love publicity
and you can't tell what they may do
in public.
Though ample provision has been
made for large crowds, the banquet
and billeting committees are worry
ing for fear they may be swamped,
and hence are asking that every man
who knows he is coming, get in touch
with them. Frank X. Goulet, care
