Banquet for Departing
Editor and His Wife
Important Function AT The Barbara Worth Recognition of
Work of Mr.. and Mrs o. B. Tout
Who Are Leaving

The Pioneers Banquet given last
night at the Barbara Worth in COM
pliment to Mr.. and Mrs. 0. B. Tout,
who are leaving soon to take up their
home in Portersville, was one of the
most brilliant social events ever held
in El Centre The long tables of the
dining room. arranged as an open
square, were centered throughout
with bouquets of red carnations and
delicate fern, alternated with trays of
choice fruits of the season from the
Ira Aten Orchards.
Seventy five people found their
places marked by "cards" of brown
paper, typical of those days when
hand painted. hand-engraved favors
were little known in Imperial Valley.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tout sat at the center
of the head table where they could
look into the faces of most of those
who had come to do them honor and
bid them God-speed. AS souvenirs.
each guest was presented with a
menu card on the reverse of which
are Photographic reproductions of
Mn. and Mrs. o. B. Tout. The menu
was such as the Barbara Worth
knows how to prepare and serve on
such occasions.
Seated were men and women who
came to the desert, when desert" it
was, to cast in their lot and help to
redeem it from the grimness that had
marked its history until the harness
ing of the waters of the Colorado
converted it into potential farms that
would cause its fame to be spread
abroad, as Americas greatest agri-
cultural district. Happy in incident
and reminiscence as neighbor spoke
to neighbor of those days Of yester-
year, the hour passed quickly from
soup to nuts, after which the speech
making begun.
Postmaster C. W. Collins, a pioneer
of the pioneers, acted as postmaster,
beginning with delightfully."- humor
Gus speech in which he first roasted
Tout to a -you-well. telling of his
iapkness and his leanness and his
perverseness, of his reverses and his
triumphS, and following with compli
ment and felicitation for both Mr..
and Mrs. Tout, to Mrs. Tout giving
all of the honor for having made of
the Progress a success. He said: Il
have found Otis B. Tout to be a loyal
and true friend in every respect; his
publications have been the means of
adding large numbers to the popula-
ton of Imperial Valley as they have
gone broadcast into other sections of
state and nation"

GIRL TORTURED In

BY BURGLARS

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.-Two
burglars who broke into the home of
George Caeser and wife in a fashion
able apartment house here early today,
gagged Caroline Chinna maid tore off
her clothing, scraped her skin with a
potato peeler and rubbed salt into
the wounds, according to a report to

dime MOVIE SHOW IS
FLOP HOUSE FOR
BUDDIES
United Press Leased Wire

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 26 - In
Cleveland, as one of the few relics
of the pre-war days, there survives
the "dime movie show"
These shows, of which only two or
three exist here, are believed to be
among the few in a large American
city which have withstood the inroads
created by increased costs during the
European conflict.
These theatres, scarcely more than
covered holes between large buildings
are always jammed, from early IN the
day until midnight and on through the
wee morning hours.
Few patrons go to see the shows,
however. The theatres have largely
taken the place of the "two-bit flop
house"
At any time during the day and
night, "drifters" may be seen asleep
there, catching a few hours rest, out
Of the desolate cold of the streets.
Even after the banging piano ceases
at midnight ,and the lights are dim
med. these men sprawl over seats
these men who are homeless, penni-
less, but oftentimes not without am
bition.
And the managers have opened the
doors for them.
SO when Uncle Sam Topped the one
cent tax off the dime show recently,
the "boys" were happy. 1t was easy
to "ht buddy for a thin, and beat
it for a picture house flop"
Huddled together for warmth, like
so many animals, the unemployed men
have found the hard bed Of rest in the
broken, wooden seats of the dime
show.
Listen to their stories. But they
never mention the hard times, the ir-
regular snatches of food they "bum." F"
They're dreamers, and they're happy
in a rather unusual way. for they live
lin hope for the future. Each day they
look for the job which never comes,
and probably won't come for a long,
long while-until the snow is gone and
they can sleep again in the parks, in
the open, anywhere but always with
their boots on"
Nothing can crush that nebulous
cloud Of hope which surrounds them
not even the dusky janitor as he drives
them out when he starts cleaning the
theatre in the morning for the "day
slumberers."

INVESTIGATOR TO Be

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 2s.-Harry l..
Burton, claiming to be from Reno,
Nevada and private investigator in
the employment of the warden's office
at Neil's Island, was arrested at a.
m. today at Santa Ana hotel by
house detective Lawson of the Ambas-
sador hotel here, it was learned.
The arrest, at first believed by
Santa Ana hotel attaches to be a kid
naping, followed the discovery that
Burton had passed an allegedly fic-
titious check at the local holstery. A
neatly engraved card bearing the
name Harry l.. Burton, private inves-
tigator, warden's office, Neil's Island,'

Eye street, Tacoma, Washington,
found on his person according to
Lawson.
A high calibred revolver was found
on his dresser in the Santa Ana Hotel,
Lawson said. According to the local
detective, who has been in Tacoma on
| numerous occasions, many streets
there are designated alphabetically
leading him to believe the Eye street
address was meant for 81" street.
Burton, according to Lawson, was

those formed in pioneer settlements,

tiful he said. Wiley Weaver scored
MIR. and Mrs. Tout for slipping away
to a foreign country last summer and
going under assumed names, thus
securing for themselves great honors
and considerations. "Tom and Jerry"
they called themselves, and the fear
of the speaker was that the people
where they travelled. may believe that
all Imperial Valley residents are
Toms and Jerrys.' But they are for
given and all wish to them only the
best, he said.
F. B. Fuller standing, on the site
of his first desert home. where now
is located the lovely Barbara Worth,
recalled the rose garden that was IN
front of that home and brought tend
er memories to every pioneer present.

bell, Bob Moore an d NJ. W.
Conkling Judge Conkling pro-
posed a toast drunk in h E
water of the Colorado, to the friends
who were about to go away. Stand
ing, the guests responded to the
toast.
Mr.. Tout was called upon at the
last, and spoke feelingly of his years
in the Imperial Valley. They had had
their struggles. and the way at times
was hard and thorny, but obstacles
were overcome and the triumph of
the evening when his friends had thus
gathered to do honor to him and his,
was compensation for it all, causing
him almost if not quite to regret that
they were leaving. They never said
that they will not come again to the
valley. Their new home, which is
to be "A house at the side of the
road," will always be open to his In
perial Valley friends. The guest room
in the home, he hopes to have occu-
pied continuously by some one from
the old home that both he and Mrs.
Tout love.
Mr.. Tout visioned a great future
for Imperial county, and publicly ad-
mitted that all that had been said of
Mrs. Tout and her work as business
of Progress was fully mer-
tied. To her he owes whatever OF
success has come into his life. He al
so paid tribute to the Burnekers, who
worked Loyalty for the paper all the
days in which it was published. The
speakers parting words were tender,
and left in the hearts of all naught
but feeling Of affection and good will
toward the man and woman who had
wrought with them in the years OF
pioneering that have been so rich in
experience.
To C. W. Collins and Jasper Trav-
ers must be given the honor of ar
ranging the affair which was unique
in respect of being the first of its
kind given for those removing from
the valley. Upon unanimous vote of
the assembly. it was decided to or
ganize Pioneer Society in Ell Centro,
to include all who have lived here 10I
or more years. In compliment to Mr.
Tout, he was elected the first presi-
dent of the new organization. A
flashlight picture was taken at the
close of the festivities.
