CLEMENCEAU SAILS ANNOUNCE PLANS
FOR HOME WlTHFOR KIDDIES' FEED:
RETURN THREATINAME Committee
Eats, Music, Picture Show
Auto Rides N Every
thing Planned

Riddles Day at the Barbara
WORTH That's the slogan adopted
yesterday by a committee of local
men and women who are going to
aHsist Manager Conway in putting
over real genuine Christmas cele-
bration for 250 of Ell Centre s
youngsters who otherwise might not
have very merry Christmas. The
youngsters will be issued invitations
for a big Christmas dinner, follow
ing which there will be a wonderful
Christmas tree, with a present on it
for every boy and girl who attends.
After that the whole bunch will be
taken to the Palace theater, where
they will be the guests of Owner
Jim Cook at a special matinee, with
program especially selected for
their amusement.
The day for the Program is Sun
day, December "a, and the festivi-
ties will commence at 1880 p. m. 1t
is expected that the dinner, distri-
button of presents, and the show,
will keep the youngsters busy until
5 O'Clock or later, and send them
home feeling happy and contented.
The idea originated with Manager
Conway, who realized there are a
number of children in FL Centre who
are likely to be left without a
Christmas dinner and he determined
to make it up to them with big
time at his hotel.
Mrs. G.. W. Helms, Mrs. C. f.
Paris, Mrs. A. w. Swanson, c. f.
Pitzer, j. l.. Travers, +. s. Lake,
A. w Swanson, Miss Fay Quinn
and Mrs. Fred Nebel-Thau compose
the committee which will assist Mr..
Conway in issuing the invitations
and taking care of the children on
the occasion of the dinner. The high
school orchestra under the direction
of Miss Martin will provide music
for the occasion, and a splendid
program of Christmas songs will be
arranged.
Cars will be provided to bring to
the hotel Riddles who are too small
to walk or live too far away and
will also take them back to their
homes, at the completion of the
program. The youngsters will be in
vited without regard to race, creed
or color and everything will be
done to see that they have the best
time ever.

ton comes at an opportu9e time,

mia products by rail,
Among the reductions are canned
goods from $l.05 to 20 cents; asphalt

Hollings worth
Says Future for
Valley is Fine

II. b. Hollingsworth, who will be
remembered as one of the alert and
enterprising citizens Of the Holt
Vile section until few years ago,
is in Imperial Valley for short
visit. Mr.. Hollingsworth's son,
Verne, is making transcontinental
trip and advantage was taken OF the
opportunity presented to renew ac'
quaintances in Imeprial Valley. !,
The Press representative PROFOUND
ed to Mr.. Hollingsworth the newt
able question as to what he Thought
of the valley by this time, and the
reply was reassuring. 1t happens
that Mr.. Hollingsworth spent last
summer in the middle west and, com
pared with conditions in Kansas, Ne
braska and Missouri, the farmers IN
particular and business in genera
are in most forlorn state, Mr., Holl
ingsworth states. They have taken
losses until they are utterly dis
couraged and many of them have
quit. The optimism in evidence here
in the valley simply does not exist
i'm the midwest, and with reason
Mr.. Hollingsworth thinks, because
the country has no such rebound as
is the saving quality of Imperial
Valley. Mr.. Hollingsworth predicts
a great future for the valley and be
Ilieves that we are at the beginning
Of our greatest era.

Auto Thieves

Recovered; Suspects
Are Jailed
BY Press Staff Correspondent

CALEXICO, Dee. 13.-Chief Joe
Hardwick, of the local police force,
has made remarkable record in
recovering stolen autos during the

covered at Mexicali. Two men were
arrested, at MeXicali at the instance
of Hardwick, and deported to this
side. Yesterday they were taken to
FL Centre to stand trial. 1t is said
they have confessed to auto thefts.
At almost the same time, Tom
Wallace, of the border service, and
Hardwick, recovered Il Durant tour
ing ear, the property of Mrs. f. A.
Bell, of San Gabriel, about seven
miles below the line, and at their
instance three MeXicans, who were
caught in the car, were arrested by
the Mexicali police and are being
held in Jail in that city.
Yesterday Jack Fuller, accused of
having stolen a car, was apprehend-
ed at MeXicali, at the instance of
H@rdwick, and deported to this Side,
where he was arrested. He is -ae-
cused of having stolen n WHY'S
Knight car at Orvilla, California,
this week. He refused to give any
information.
Last night, having been asked to
make search for +. Useton, a one
armed man, who is wanted by the
FL Centre police for alleged theft,
he was arrested by the MeXicali po-
lice at the instance of Hardwick and
Tom Wallace, and deported to the
American side this morning. Search
ed, the police found a number of ear
keys and several certificates on the
prisoner. He will be taken to FL
Centre for hearing. He is said to
be an old offender, and has been ar
rested on like charges, once at Yuma,
police officials declare.
Deputy sheriffs are on the way
here from Orvilla to take Fuller

HEBER SALE. IS
GREAT SUCCESS

The first of the regular monthly
auction sales instituteedN by the
Chamber of Commerce of the town
of Heber was held at Heber yester-
day. On account of the fact that
the sale had not been advertised suf-
ficiently, the crowd was not quite
so large as expected; but those who
were there were highly enthusiastic.
The bidding was spirited and
quite a lot of produce of various
kinds was disposed of. Poultry was
much in evidence and found many
ready bidders.
The barbecue was a huge success,
the meat being fine and cooked to
perfection. Many people said it
was the best barbecued meat they
had ever tasted.
Among those who came, but did
not bring anything to sell, many re-
grets were voiced. Judging from
remarks heard on every hand large
majority of those who failed to
bring their produce to this first
sale will be at the second one next
month with plenty.
The members of the Chamber of
Commerce feel well pleased and say
that they expect the January sale
to be a big success from every
point of view.

hours, the jury hearing the case of
Albert Evans charged with assault

10 O'Clock last night that it could
not agree on verdict and Judge
John j. Shenk, after ascertaining
there was no possibility of an agree

pared, sent to the folks back
East and all are sure to join in
an effort to get them to Cali

CALEXICO, Dec. 13.--That the
search for Colonel Francis G.. Mar
shall and Lieutenant c.. l.. Webber,
missing aviators, may develop into
a search of the gulf area in Mexico
seems likely, since reports are being
brought in from Tecolote cutoff

offered their services to aid in the
search.
May Search Gulf Region
All of those who saw this plane,
insist that there is a possibility that
the plane they saw may have been
that of the missing men, and if this
be. true, then "a search of the gulf
region, on the Sonora side, may de-
velop that the lost flyers have met
with some mishap in that section.
Up to this time no active efforts
have been made to locate the lost
flyers in the gulf region, or at least
the eastern shores of the gulf.
Every army flyer at Rockwell

headquarters staff, are in Arizona
searching for Col. Francis Marshall
and Lieut.. Charles Weber.

sides of the international boundary,
