When he finds them out, he leaves
college and joins the fire depart
ment. The old fire horse "Bul,

from then on the climax is reach
ed by a series of stupendous scenes
and situations that are said to fur
nish one of the most delightful
pictures of the season. Ella Hall

and Ralph Lewis handles the part
Of Dan Mcdowell with his usual
ability. Johnny Walker takes the
part of the son Johnny and other
frominent actors round out an ex'

to the Eshons to stay overnight,
iokingly remarking as he did so

HUGE TAX BILL
AGAINST POWER.
WATER COMPANY
Mexicali City Council
Answers Bill With
.~ ~ Il Greater One
Nv Press staff Correspondent

MEXICALI, Feb. 1.-THE Next
cali Power and Water Company
must pay the city of Mexicali
$4,000 pesos FOR municipal taxes
since 1910, the city council has de-
termined, after the presentation by
the company of a bill for services
amounting to $1,000 pesos.
Tho committee ON light and water
made {. report to the council with
relation to a proposal presented by
the company, asking that rates be
specified and fixed, in which the
federal and city governments would
be supplied lights and water at a
rate of six centavos- per kilowatt,
while the laymen users throughout
the municipality would be charged
at the rate of from 80 to 40 eentavos
per kilowatt for service.
The proposition was rejected by
the council at its meeting last night,
it being stated that the federal gov
eminent had also done So,
The committee reported that since
the organization of the light and
water company, in April, 1910, no
franchise or municipal taxes have
been paid by them, this following
the presentation of bill in the sum
of $1,000 pesos which the company
stated that the city owed for lights
and power used in the last five
years.
The committee then submitted fig
ures showing that the company owed
to the city in municipal taxes and
franchise the, sum of 10000 pesos,
and demand is being made on the
company for this amount, less that
claimed by the company as owing
them by the city for service, leav-
ing ID balance of $4,000 pesos the
company will be required to paw.
In the meantime the committee
has been uncovered to study condi-
lions and fix rates to be charged
for light and water throughout the
city, and the company will be re-
quired to adhere to such fixed rate.

BRITISH DEBT
BILL GOES TO
HOUSE End time
Amendments Are Voted
by Senate Before Vote;
Harding to Sign

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
bill for funding of the British debt
was returned to the house from the
senate for agreement to amendments
following its passage by the senate
last night.
A slight delay is anticipated in
the completion of the bill but it is
expected the President win sign it
soon.
The adopted amendments were
both presented by Democratic sena-
tors. One provided that future debt
settlements of other nations be sub
mitted TO congress for approval and
the other includes three Democrats
on the membership of the American
debt commission which will consist
of eight members instead of five
providing the amendment remains
on the bill.
The ship subsidy bill will again be
discussed by the senate following
the disposition Of the. debt funding
bill. 1t is improbable that it will
PASS at this session of Congress.

B. C. Winslow, inspector in charge
of the food and drug inspection sta
ton, Bureau of Chemistry, Los An
geles, is in Imperial Valley today
and announced he will make arrests
and ask confiseations soon as a re-
suit of mismarking of lettuce crates.
The action, he says, is to be taken
as a means of stopping the shipping
of products which injure the trade
of Imperial Valley.
The bureau of chemistry has de-
termined to eonfiscate carloads of
lettuce whenever crate is found to
be mismarked, whether at destina-
ton or shipping point.
Federal representatives, he says.
are working at the terminal points
in the east opening crates and in
vestigating charges Of small size
lettuce in crates which are marked
as larger stuff.
The bureau, Mr.. WinslOw declares,
can do nothing if the crate is not
marked, but if it is marked it must
be marked correctly.
Packing of 16 heads layer on
the bottom and IL on top is also de-
Iceptive and subjects the shipment to
confiscation.
While in Imperial Valley Mr..
Winslow is working in cooperation
with F. w. Waite, county horticul-
tural commissioner, and the state
bureau of Standardization.
The industry suffers, the inspect
or declares, when small stuff is
shipped from the valley. The three
departments are working to help
the industry and to protect the buy

DAVIS TALKS TO
JASPER CENT Err
ON LEGISLATURE
Head of State Exchange
in Talk on Grain;
Lecture Given

Assemblyman George H. Davis ad-
dressed the Jasper Farm Center las
night OH bills now pending in the
California Legislature.
Mr.. Davis stated that he was al
ready on record in favor of the
home demonstration department of
the Farm Bureau. He has received
many letters on the subject since the
state board of control announced it's
proposed budget which provides for
a reduction Of the appropriation to
carry on this work; some have fav-
cred the proposition and some have
opposed it, but he has had no cause
to change his mind and still be-
lieves that the department can do
great good in the development OF
better home conditions on the farms
and in other directions.
Mr.. Davis explained his bill in
troduced before the. legislative re
cess, which provides for the consol-
idation of the tax machinery of
county, irrigation and city govern
ment. He believes that a great
economy can be brought about by
the enactment of this bill, which
would eliminate duplication and
save in salaries and overhead to the
advantage of the taxpayers.
The speaker told of the Yuma
road bill and two cent gasoline tax.
Mark Rose confined his remarks
to the Swing Johnson bill which he
believes has good chance of pass
ing. He advised, that Imperial Val
ley people stand firmly behind the
bill and use their utmost Influence
to secure its passage.
That the grain exchange where
tried has been of great advantage
to producers, was shown by Mr.
Hardenbrook, president Of the Cali
fornia Farm Bureau Exchange, who
gave convincing figures to show
that huge sums of money have been
saved to the rancher through the co
operative selling made possible by
the exchange. [
Mr.. Hardcnbrook spoke of the in
fluence of National Farm Bureau
and gave credit to the Farm Bureau
Federation of California for the
change in method of paying inter
est on the highway indebtedness OF
the state. Na
The program closed with an illus
ytrated lecture on green manure by
Farm Advisor e. l.. Garthwaite
which brought out many practical
suggestions as well as much valuable
information.
