Fred III is only three years old,
but on some days he picks as much as
twenty pounds of cotton. His sister
Vera, five, averages twenty-five pounds
a day on the Oklahoma plantation
where they and their father and mother
arc regular "pickers." Fred and Vera
are examples of thousands of child
workers in agriculture that the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee desires
to rescue from lives of stuntng toll
and dcarth of schooling.
The committee, of which David
Franklin Houston, Secretary of Agri-
culture and the Treasury, successfully,
in the Wilson Cabinet, is chairman, is
conducting a campaign to arouse public
opinion to realization Of this appalling
evil. Enforcement of existing COM
pulsory school attendance laws would
do much to remedy conditions, but the
committee is aware that such enforce
nent will come only when the parents
and farnl-owners are made to see that
the very future Of the Republic depends
on childhood receiving its just due.

and Kentucky, the beet raising districts
OF Michigan and Colorado, the berry
fields of Michigan and California, the
cranberry bogs of New Jersey, the
onion fields of Ohio and the truck
farms OF Delaware all tell the same
story of greed that exacts its satis-
faction from the bodies and minds of
boys and girls. Entire families toll
from dawn to dark. In many cases the
wages are SO low that the husband and
father can not earn enough alone to
maintain those supposed to be depend
ent upon him. In other instances the
callousness and ignorance of parents
parallels the grasping selilshness Of en-
ployers. And always the little ones are
the sufferers.

AT THE PALACE AIRDOME
TOMORROW NIGHT

Never in the history of silent drama
has there been a player whose dra-
matte ability has caused such wide
spread comment and admiration as
the popular Japanese American star
Sessue Hayakawa, whose most re-
cent production "Where Lights Are
Low" will be screened at the Palace
Airdome Saturday.
As student of drama from the
time he was a young man ins Japan
until he graduated from the Univer-
sity of Chicago, he has followed the
teachings and work of the speaking
stages greatest eXponents and has be-
come during the past two years one
of the most finished screen actors in
the world.
"Where Lights are Low" is an R-C
Pictures production and nothing has
been spared in the way of money and
labor to make it the very best vehi-
Gle in which the famous star has
ever appeared. 1t is based upon the
story east isEast" from the facile
pen of Lloyd Osborne.
"Where Lights Are Low" unfolds a
story of great dramatic power and
gives Mr.. Hayakawa just tht sort of
role to which he can devote his whole
being. He interprets the part of a
young japanese prince about whose
love affairs and adventures a most
engrossing tale has been fashioned.
1t is filled with intensely dramatic
moments and leavened by touch of
romance that is sheer delight.

Children. in Agriculture" Therefore
it is the more difficult for US to view it
as abnormal or unnecessary We arc apt,
to forget that the farmer is as anxious
to secure cheap labor as the manufac.

of child labor on the farm the same

.HEAvYWEIGHTS FOR SUNDAY.

Manager Joe Flores, of the Owl arena
at MeXicali, is getting better every
; week as boxfiIhting impresario. The
matches pulled recently at the Owl
have all been of good class and his
next Sundays bill promises to be q
slambang affair that is likely to fall
short of the rounds scheduled. This is
especially true Of the main event.
"Kid Savage" is to go up against
Vic Alexander, the giant negro heavy
weight of Jack Doyle's fight club at
Vernon. Savage is a clever boxer for
so big man and Alexander is credited
with having fought himself out of q
! job in his home town, by putting away
everybody sent against him. Savage
in all of his recent battles has won
by the K. O., and last Sunday he turned
the trick in the third round at Tia
Juana, where he fought sailc-, who
travels under the name of Sh fly
Lightning. The big fellows should
give a blood thrilling exhibition for
whatever number Of rounds the match
goes.
The semi final on the card is a six
round go between Ray Gibson of this
city and Battling Denny of Holtville,
both good boys at their weight and
both out for the bacon. There will be
a curtain raiser at four rounds and
Manager Flores is to stage a battle
royal between five of the huskiest col
ored bruisers it is possible to find IN
the valley. The whole will make a
show that it hard to beat.
The Owl arena has been rebuilt since
last Sunday. Tiers of seats have been
built on three sides of the ring giving
the sfans a seat from which every

He Was Simply Try
ing to Telephone
in a News Report

The sanctum's Daily Visitor was
on his way to the big woods, proba-
bly, with the hope and expectation of
getting a deer, although he left no
word at the sanctum on leaving. A
snowstorm was also travelling around
in the section where he was and dur
ing it a game warden lost his life by
being confused in the storm and his
auto overturning as he took a wrong
turn in the road.
The newspaper instinct was strong
err than the hunting enthusiasm, so
to the telephone the D. V. hurried.
after viewing the scene of the acct
dent and learning the details. Con-
nection was made with the K. j. of
flee and the D. V. began giving the
night editor the story.
The wire connection was not of
the best or conditions were not just
right-anyway. the night ed. had
difficulty in getting the words, much
to the annoyance of both. You will
recollect that the accident happened
on what is known as the Ragged
Dam road. On that hinges the point
of this tale.
The night ed. later discovered that
the D. V. was telling him about the
road-but for a time he was unde
cided whether the D. V. was speak
ing in terms of endearment of the
telephone or was praising him for his
inability to understand.
The accident happened on the Rag
ged Dam road and was duly told in
Monday mornings X. J. See?
