There are all sorts of queer characters
writing scenarios, as any one can see
from some Of the substitutes for sleep
Ing powders to be seen on the screen.
One OF these turned up at the office of
producer a short time ago and sub
mitted 10 him a story which was so
unique and extraordinary that the pro-
ducer, who had done hard labor at all
forms OF dramatic manufacturing and
knew a real bit OF theatrical grandeur
when he saw it, nearly gibbered after
reading II over.
When he had taken a grip on himself
the producer told the writer that In adj
ditlon to accepting the scenario he felt
such a man was too rare bird to be al
lowed TO fly away. and so he would pen
the writer up with his company. The
writer agreed quite gracefully. but the
producer had scarcely started him 10
work turning out other scenarios before
he discovered to his establishment that
the man not only couldn't write but had
no ideas that would interest even g.
year-old.
So presently he turned the newcomer
loose. but the latter promptly obtained a
job as scenario writer with another COM
pany on the strength Of his having been
with this first company-with no mem
tion made Of the circumstance that the
company had parted from him without
shedding tears. The new organization
soon caught on TO the fact that as n
scenario writer he was waste material.
When they told him TO try the fresh air
he obtained new position In the same
way, and so he has continued to drift
along, each time mentioning that II just
finished picture with the Super Excel
lent supreme Company and thought /
needed q change" In view OF the large
number Of movie companies OF all stripes
u looks as though he'd find enough jobs
70 last him until his own scenario was
written on a granite slab.
Meanwhile the first producer he met
is planning 70 film his scenario, which is
said TO be a screenful. and trying to
solve this problem: Where on earth did

ROTATING FUND
FOR LOANS TO
SICK VETERANS
American Legion Working Out
Plan of Practical Aid for Dis
0bled er-SerUice Men

INDIANAPOLIS, Dee. 29.-Plans
for big rotating fund to provide
loans to sick and wounded ex-service
men in each state are being worked
out at national headquarters Of the
American Legion here.
E-soldiers who do not need the
ready cash that would come to them
from the governments payment of
adjusted compensation would contrib
ute their bonus to the rotating fund.
Service officers of the Legion in each
state would loan the money without
security and at nominal rates Of in
terest to needy veterans.
The principal beneficiares of the
loan fund would be "our buddies who
are broken in health" that they may
take care of themselves and their
families and "keep their self-respect
while battling through red tape for
their just disability compensation"
according to Hanford MacNider, the
Legion's commander, who originated
the plan.
There are hundreds of instances in
which sick and wounded ex-service
men, unable to get government aid,
have had to depend upon charity while
their claims were being reviewed, the
Legion reports show. Tubercular vet
Grams who owe their condition to
poison gas or to exposure have gone
to sanitariums in the West, there been
denied immediate treatment or ad-
mission and have become public
charges, it is declared. Other young
veterans, unable to work because of
their wounds or sickness and unable
to satisfy the demands of government
bureaus for their compensation, are in
pitiable condition and their depend
ents likewise. are suffering, the Le-
gion shows.
Many of the older element of eX-
service men already have made known
their intention of assigning their
bonuses to the fund if the adjusted
compensation bill becomes law during
the present session of the Congress.

CUTTING OUT
REALTY SHARKS

Real estate licenses are to be with
held from a large number of dealers
who, during the past year, have abro-
gated the provisions of the Califor-
MIA license act, State Real Estate
Commissioner Edwin T. Keiser de,
'clared in a statement issued today
The Alameda County Superior Court
and subsequently the California Su-
preme Court, has recently upheld the
state license act, in a case appealed
by a former Berkeley realty broker
Dealers whose record, according to
state department records, is such as
to raise serious question as to THEN
integrity and honety or their com,
potency to transact real estate brok-
erage in trustworthy fashion, will
not be granted renewals of THEN
licenses, it was stated.
The day of the land shark and real
ty sharper in California has passed
the commissioner declared. All those
who disregard the real estate licens,
act may expect to be summarily deal
with. No man has right to sell Cal
ifornia's basic commodity whose rec
ord for fair dealing is under suspi
'cion, he said. Responsible real estat,
dealers throughout the state are sup
porting this department in the stanC
that the license law was meant t

lawful dealer from entering or re
naming in the realty business, h

Supporters of County Fair
Advised to Begin Immedi-
ately to Make 1t Greatest
Event of Kind

In order to make the Imperial
County fair to be held next Novem-
Der in Imperial the wonderful sue
cess it is going to be, everybody in
the valley must help.
The officers and directors of the
Agricultural District in charge OF the
flair have started off with an exhibi-
ton of pep and efficiency that should
be emulated by every other citizen of
the valley. Certainly all the newspa-
pers are behind it with a vim and
none more so than the Brawley News,
which has the following to say from
the pen of Editor M. d. Witter:
Imperial county's coming fair at
Imperial next winter is being ap-
preached in manner that speaks
we'll for the directors of the institu-
ton. An endeavor is being made to
induce the growing of products for
exhibition at the fair. a method of
procedure that smacks of the highest
type OF efficiency.
With the experience gained at FL
Centro and at Brawley during the eX-
hibitions staged at those events, it is
possible for some of the later resi-
dents of the valley to acquire informa-
ton concerning the various crop
seasons that has been almost forgot
ten since the lure of cotton stopped
the development of what are now
proved to be vastly more stable and
profitable crops. Years ago Clark
Adair was wont to stage fruit fairs,
aand the future of the fruit indus
try was looked upon as certain. Then
along came the high price of cotton,
the less strenuous occupation of grain
growing on large scale and oppor-
tunty, hidden by the pioneers, had
knocked in vain only to return now
with a welcome that means perman-
ency of abode.
The county fair must be considered
an asset of the whole valley. Wister,
some eight miles northwest of INLAND,
may lay equal claim to the fair with
Bard to the southeast even though
technically outside the valley itself.
Dixieland will be included properly,
and so it goes with the intensivey cul-
tivated areas closer in.
The thing now is to plant and be-
gin raising for the fair. Put in a
few minutes each day on some partic-
ular thing and do that thing well. 1t
may be hog, turkey, a grapefruit
tree, date palm or any one of the
hundreds of things to which Imperial
county justly lays claim to superior
ity. Do it now.

HOL 7 WILLIE
TO Be HOST
TO WHOLE
VALLEY
New Years Festival of
Sports and Amusements
With Giant Barbecue Be-
ing Prepared by Enthusi-
aStic Committee

Despite the fact that the weather
shark up in Los Angeles sends out
word that the weather is going to be
unsettled, bright sun this morning
shining over the entire valley gives
promise of "fair and warmer" And
with it comes the assurance from old
timers that every sign points to nice
weather from now on.
With these facts in view, the COM
mittee over at Holtville which is plan-
ming a monster New Years Dav cele-
bration for the benefit of the baseball
boys, are going ahead with their prop
aratlons and promise to present one
of the greatest programs of enter
tainment ever given over there, and it
must be acknowledged that Holtvillc
has some reputation for outdoor cele
brations.
The committee in charge of the affair
is made up of A. D. Lester, E. B,
Smith, Joe Jardin and A. C. Harris.
and they are being assisted by all of
the business men and the members of
the Holtville baseball club and others.
There is going to be one of the biggest
barbecues ever pulled off in the val
ley. Thousands of pounds of beef and
mutton, hundreds of gallons of chill
sauce, bushels and bushels of beans,
truckloads of bread, and more gallons
of coffee than it would take to fill a
good sized silo will be provided. John
+. Zeno, who is the prize artist when
it comes to barbecuing meats, is to be
in charge and he is to be assisted by
Ernest Edwards.
There will be baseball game in the
afternoon, boxing match or two
races and other forms of amusement
and at night there is going to be the
biggest dance in Holtville history at
Eagles hall.
1t is to be costume dance, and as
the roads will all be in good shape, a
record breaking crowd is being pre-
pared for.

FL CENTRIC MAN
DROPS FROM SIGHT

Family and friends of AL Spiesman,
former employe of Varney's, today
expressed grave fear as to his safety,
as he has not been heard from or seen
since last Sunday evening, when he
alighted at Seventh and Main streets,
Los Angeles, from the automobile of
"a valley friend who had driven him
there ostensibly to spend the Christ
mas holidays with his wife and
mother.
Spiesman had approximately $500
in cash with him, the proceeds of the
sale of his home, deal which was
consummated here last week.
According to q telephone message
received here today from distracted
relatives, the Los Angeles authorities
have been appealed to, and every eff
fort being made to find some trace
of the missing man.
Spiesman had been in the employ
of Varney Bros. 4 Company for some
time past, working at the FL Centro
store for nearly year and later at
the Brawley store. He early won the
lesteem of his employers and his fell
low employees, and was one Of the
| trusted members of the staff.
Some week or ten days ago he ten
dered his resignation, expressing his
purpose to locate somewhere on the
coast, particularly in one of the small
er towns, where he proposed to start
in some line Of business for himself.
Friends and acquaintance who
think that they might have some pos
sible clue as to his whereabouts are
urged to communicate with Mr.. Tate
at Varney's or the police authorities.

SUNDAY BATTLE
Famous Boxing Instructor VIII
BE Third Man in Ring at
Mexic0li
Especial to The Press)


MEXICALI, Dec. 29.-One thousand
seats have been added to the Owl
arena and Promoter Flores is now
ready to handle the largest crowd
possible for the 20-round bout between
Lee Anderson, champion light heavy.
weight of the world, and Jimmie
Barry, who is hot on the trail of the
title before leaving for the East. Both
fighters have been training conscicn-
tiously for the bout and both are re-
ported as being in perfect condition
Jimmie Barry will undoubtedly
draw large number of Mexicans tc
the ringside, being of the same nation
ality. 1t can safely be predicted that
the entire Imperial Valley colored
population will fight for accommoda-
tions to see Anderson perform. Pro
moter Joe Flores placed the ringside
reservations on sale today and ac-
cording to the large demand, it looks
like ecord=breaking attendance.
What promises to be an interesting
bout is that between Lee Morrisey
and Jap Romero. This pair will travel
for ten rounds and there are many of
the wise ones here who predict vic
tory for Jap. Morrisey has never as
much as been knocked down since his
arrival here and is tough bird to
lick. Romero is fast and boxes clev-
erly and will probably outpoint the
Irishman at the end of their contest
The managers of Barry and Ander-
son met today and selected George
Blake, instructor of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club, and official referee at
the Hollywood arena, to referee the
fight. Blake will arrive here Sun
day morning and will bring a delega-
tion of Los Angeles sportsmen to
witness the Barry Anderson contest
Both fighters are in excellent shape
and ready to step into the ring and
show the fight fans of Imperial Val
ley what they have missed in the
fighting line. The betting on the fight
is even money with no choice. Barry
went through his gymnasium work at
the Tulane theater yesterday after
noon in Ell Centro and entertained a
large number of fight fans who will
root for the Mexican boxer to defeat
Anderson.

Mr.. Camp was the guest OF Rex
Powers, the director of the K. Of P
athletic class.
Mr.. Camp showed the bunch his
dirty dozen exercises which he rec
ommends that every one follow. They
keep one fit, he says. According to
Mr.. Camp, no one can enjoy real
health that does not take regular ex-
ercise; the kind that brings into play
every muscle of the body. He said
that he knew no one that was better
qualified to direct class than Rex,
but that part of his lecture was super
fluous; We knew that without being
told.
In examining those present for mus
cular development, Mr.. Camp found
that Jim Davis had an extremely we'll
developed tongue, which every one in
the lodge had known for some time.
in fact, most of us think it is over
developed. Yet, it isn't muscle
bound. He also has lots of wind to
support the tongue.

Sheriff c. M. Applestill and his dep

gave up the chase of Jess Windle,
alias J. P. Walters, wanted for the
murder of two Los Angeles police
men, who was captured in Arizona,
than they are off on another hunt.
This time for two fleeing members
of the gigantic clique of mail robbers
and burglars, who are thought to be
trying to make their way into Mexi-
co by the way of the valley.
Two of the men, said to be leaders
of the gang, Wilson, former preach

are held in Jail in Los Angeles, the
former under 100000 bail and the
latter under $4,000.
