JACKIE COOGAN COMING

Jackie Coogan, the greatest little
film star before the public today is
coming to the Palace theatre tomor-
row with another dramatic story of
juvenile life. The picture is entitled
"My Boy" and it is now in its seventh
week at the Kinema theatre in Los
Angeles, whore it is playing to packed
houses at every performance.
Jackie Coogan despite the fact that
he is the highest paid kid actor on
the screen today, is just natural, lit
tie, every dav boy, both on and off the
stage, and this latest vehicle of his is
a picture that every man, woman and
child will enjoy. The Palace should
have capacity audiences at every per-
formance of this wonderful picture.

WON NDERL AND OF
WORLD MADE
BY FARMERS
Continued from Page u
Stf NkI ny

lis composed of three vital clements:
The soil: Imperial Valley was
originally part of the Gulf of Cali
fornia. :, For long centuries the Colo
rado river has been bringing down
silt, filling in this arm Of the ocean
unit lit has made deposits hundreds
!of feet in depth and built the fertile
delta land Of this great Valley. No
richer land exists on earth-not ex-
Iccpting the famous delta on the river
Nile.
Climate: The second element is
a semi-tropical climate which per-
mits 365 days of growing weather,
and there is at all times some crop
being harvested. Instead of hiber-
Irating during the winter, the farmer
here finds this to be one of his best
seasons, and is sowing and reaping
the whole year through. III spring
and during summer, nature speeds
up and, working under forced
draught, produces crops in almost
unbelievable time. In 1921 Imperial s
grape crop met no competition what
ever, while she had shipped her 10,-
67S cars of cantaloupes long before
those from other sections had begun
to arrive on the market.
Water: Canals bring water from
the Colorado river in superabundance
and the farmer instead of letting
erratic nature supply the moisture
for his crops, learns the precise rules
for irrigation and marvels at the
results.
There is a fourth element - the
man, himself. Taken as whole the
farmers of Imperial Valley, besides
being men of vision, are practical
hard-hcadcd farmers. Above all
they have large amount of adapt
ability in their makeup. In fact,
adaptability of these pioneers has
been the keynote of the success they
have achieved and the TRANSFORMED
tion they have been able to work
here in the desert,

According TO the Mioncqua
Times a fine point in law will be
brought out in the case of State

"Sportsmen will watch with in
terest the developments in a law
suit in which it is alleged that

party violated the game laws of
the state of Wisconsin while hun
ting deer near Star Lake.
1T is said that members of the
party killed two does and report
ed the fact to Frank Long of Say
ner, a conservation warden. Long
called at the camp for the deer
but the party was out hunting
and he returned home without
the deer leaving word that they
should take the deer to Sayner
For certain reasons the deer were
not taken TO Sayner, and Long
advised members of the hunting
party Wednesday that they could
consider themselves under arrest.
The case will come up in the
afternoon before Justice Warner

NO ALTERATION SHOWN IN STOCK MARKET TRADING Dealings Were Lightest of Any Full Session in Many Weeks, TotaIIing Less Than a
 Million
By Associated Press

New York, June 1s.--Aside from a few speculative favorites, whose strength was traSeable to technical conditions. trading m soday's market showed no material alteration from recent unsettled movements. Deal ingn were the 1ightest of any full session in many weeks scarcely totaliing 7s5.ooo shares.
 Further spectacular movements in Mexican oils were the outstanding features. Mexican Petroleum, loan ing first at a premium of 1-33 DOT cent and later at 1-16 per cent. scored an additional extreme advance of 171s points to the years record price of 163A, closing at a net gain of 14h points.
 Pan-American A 6 B shares. General Asphalt Standard oil of California, California Petroleum, Pa cific Oil and Houston oil were 2 to { points up at their best, but eased substantially under realizing.
 Steeis, equipments. motors and Bhippings followed the same uncertain course, gross advances of 1 to Sh points in these issues suffering gen. eral impairment in the hst half of the session. Studebaker. one of the days foremost features retained only a small part of it's point rise.
 Formal notice by the railway brotherhoods Of their purpose to issue a strike call with the support of the miners resulted in reactions among transportations on very small deal- ings. In the various miscellaneous groups final quotations showed re- actions of 1 to points from the midday maximum.
 Although last weeks report of the clearing house banks disclosed tho years high record for actual loans and discounts, money on call remained easy. The Initial rate of per cent was lowered to 2% per cent shortly after noon and recent quotations for 30 and so day loans were unaltered.
 Steady reactions marked the days trading in foreign exchange, tho British rate falling almost De from last Saturdays final price. French. Italian and Belgian bills dropped l5.10 and 8 points respectively. the German mark approximated 1.03 and declines among neutrals ran from to 20 points. Denmark, Norway. Sweden and Holland remittances showed little support.
 Dealers in exchange were at loss to explain the more acute weakness of international currencies save on the ground of further uncertainty respecting political and economic con- ditions throughout Europe.
