The sixth annual Paramount week
will be celebrated nationally this
wear during the period between
September 2 and 8 inclusive.
This event, now recog n G d
throughout the nation as the most
important of the entire theatrical
calender, has grown to be an en-
phatic demonstration in favor of
bigger and better motion pictures.
The Famous Players Lasky cor
poration, producers and distributors
of Paramount pictures are directly
responsible for the event, and have
consistently sponsored all that it
stands for. Born of that ambition
which has always governed the max
ing of Paramount pictures, that they
be recognized as the highest stand
ard of screen value, Paramount
week, from an humble beginning
six years ago, has grown steadily
year by year in Importance, until it
is now eagerly looked forward to
by the theatregoers of every COM
munity III the entire nation.
Theater Men Cooperate
The theatres everywhere have
joined enthusiastically year by year
with the public at large in making
the event an. impressive one, until
ii is doubtful now if there is Il single
contributing factor any more res
ponsible for the steady uplift of the
silent stage than this same Para
mount week. AS each year has found
it more firmly implanted with the
public, the mercantile world gen
orally has come to realize the i'm
portance of Paramount week, and
it is the universal rule now that
lavish cooperation between the com
mercial and the theatrical interests
at this period is the order of things
From the largest to the smallest es-
tablishments, displays, cooperative
advertising and the general con
duet of the commercial .mafts leaves
no room to doubt that Paramount
week has made an Impression as
general as it is sincere.
1T is the period for reviewing

one state seized some of its natural

one of control, to be threshed out
by the state. If the federal govern
ment seized them the question
would become one of nationaliza-

which would undoubtedly; compli-

would result which might take
years to straighten out. Coolidge
has sought TO avoid all this.
The possibility tnat the farmers

and prohibition enforcement and
many other troublesome questions
might be transferred to state cap

Venison Dinner
At County Jail
Postponed Year

Deputy Sheriff Stirling Oswalt
returned this morning from his va
cation, minus the deer which he de,
clared upon leaving here he would
bring back with him.
The officer brought "n excellent
alibi however, in the shape of his
gun, which had been sealed by &
game warden, hunting being pro-
hibited in the sections of the state
he visited.
The gun is sealed without doubt,
but his brother officers are asking
themselves just what inducement
Stirling used to get the warden to
seal it. Oswalt reports fine time,
and returned with a good coat of
tan.
The vonison dinner at the jail
will have to be postponed until
next year.

Berry Bush e S;
Hosts To Pest

Strenuous efforts will be made
by the horticultural commissioners
of the southern California counties,
working in conjunction with the
United States department of agri-
culture, to curb the spread of the
white pine blister rust as a result
of a conference of the comission-
ers held last week in Los Angeles.
according to B. A. ITarrigan, horti-
cultural commissioner for Imperial
county who returned last night
from his vacation, during which he
attended the conference.
Steps will be taken to eradicate
cultivated black currant and goose
berry bushes in the southern coun-
ties, it having been found that these
plants act as Ghost to the blister
pest. Wild growths of these species
will also be exterminated under the
present plans.
The federal department of agri-
culture representatives, who attend
ed the conference, have recently
completed a campaign against this
pest in Washington and Oregon, and
said it is their intention to carry
on similar campaign in California.
Presence of the pest has been
noted in parts of this county, and
Harrigan said this morning that it
is the intention of his department
to cooperate in every way possible
with the state and federal author
titles in their efforts to exterminate
the pest.

The big flight is not without its
thrills. After a near disaster yes
terday in shipping aboard two luci-

today had two unpleasant minutes
when their DeHaviland plane twice
dived from a height of 1000 feet
to within 100 feet of the earth. Dis
aster was averted both times when
the pilot brought the plane into
control just above the ground
The dives were caused by shut
ting off fuel while transferring gas

the gasoline feed from the main
to the auxiliary tanks.
Gasoline was taken aboard five
times yesterday, at 10 a. IN. and 2,

to nominal increase in wages and
miners to drop their demands for

promise which might be worked out,
it is admitted by authorities at the
conference.
Overlooks No Chance
Pinchot is clutching at every,
hope for success. He has talked
with Bishop Michael Hogan of
Scranton, much beloved prelate
of the Catholic church, who is 20
years old and has been in the mine
fields as far back as any one can
remember. The miners believe
Bishop Hogan and would follow him
anywhere. He has witnessed many
strikes in the coal fields and knows
how to handle the men in an emel+
gency.
All officials here were aroused
over report that the strike had
been settled. Word came from In
dianapolis that the miners had
agreed to accept ~ per cent in
crease in lieu of other demands. A
report emanating from Washington
stated that reports there indicated
an agreement had been. reached.
Reports that any settlement had
been reached were denied by John
L. Lewis, Phillip Murray, Samuel
y. Warriner, chairman of the oper
ators policy committee, and spokes-
men for Governor Pinchot.
