MISS lrsHARr At IrcEun

The Lyceum Season opened at
the H. S. Auditorium last Monday
evening with Miss Lenhart. Reader.
She gave a play in thre acts in
which she gave a remarkable
impersontion of several odd chara
cters in so vivid q way that we
could actually see the characters
as in a moving picture. This was
done without particle of make
up. Merely by means OF voice, face
expression and posture. Her task.
"a rather difficult one. may not have
been fully appreciated but Miss
Lenhart really revealed herself as
a true genius in the field of drama
tic art.
Editor Tenny introduced the En-.
tertainer prefacing the introduce
tion with few words of appre-
citation of the efforts Of Prof Ilse
and the students in planning the
Lyceum for the winter. He con-
graduated the students on the
sale of tickets-about 400 being
sold.
The record, OF their sale was as
follows:
Junior Glass. $3.50 Senior Glass
$745O Sophomore Class. $4,000
Eighth Grade, 5000. Freshman
Glass $51OO and Seventh Grade, SAL.
so.
The next Lyceum number will be

er will give his great address. He

have a virile message and keep
you spell-bound. Not too late to

APPLE WEEK

And now for Apple Week" Oct,
81 to Nov Z. Everybody is urged
to buy apples, not only to help
move and save the great apple crop

a healthful food The old adages
say "An apple aday keeps the doc
tor, away" and rosy checked apples
make rosy checked children" Not
only are they good raw as laXi-
tive but they can be cooked In so
many appetlzing ways. Bulk for

healthful. Keep apples rolling

Report of Controller of State
Shows Imperial County Has One
of Lowest Tax Rates in State

The annual report Of the state
controller, while embodying much
very dry reading, gives a perspect
i've upon administrative affairs in
the state Of California which is not
altogether uncomplimcntarv to I'm
pcrial County.
Through political platforms and
other propaganda Imperial County
people have been made to think
that the burden of taxation here is
worse than in other counties. This
theory is not supported by the facts
as brought out in tn" controllers re.
port. There are only nine of the 80
counties which have lower tax rate
than Imperial County. The rate for
1922 inside of municipal corpora
tions was 81 and outside of cities
was 1907. This is 10 be contrasted
with such rates as 81 for Amador
County, 1858 for Santa Cruz, 1896
for San Bernardino and $3.50 for
Nevada County. Tire lower rate in
the state IS Kern County at $l.4G,
evidently reflecting the richness of
its oil resources. Our neighboring
county Of. Riverside has a rate of
Sab. Los Angeles with all of its
wealth has n rate of $l.Sl, only a
little below Imperial, notwithstand-

RUMOR SAYSCLARA

Can't Verify Report; LA.
Chief in East to Get

HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. "a per-
sistent rumor prevails here today
that the noted and muchhunted
Clara Phillips, convicted murderess
and escaped iail-brcaker from Los
Angeles, is in the penitentiary at
Chihauhau. However, the rumor can
not be verified, as the Mexican gov
eminent declares they have no in
formation to such an effect.
The story says that Clara fled
from Jaurez to Chihauhau by mule
train and that Mexican officials,
warned of her escape, locked her up
q few minutes after her arrival.
Chief Of Police Oaks arrived to-
day to take into custody Little
Phil' Alguin wanted in Los An

Redlands Men in
Cooperative Move
in Hay Ind ustry

A.. Gregory of Redlands, president
of the Alfalfa Growers Exchange,
and II. W. Otis, its vice president
and general manager, are in the val
ley in the interest of the co.Opera-
tive movement among the hay grow
ers. A meeting Of all hay growers
has been called for Saturday after
noon at 9 F. III. at the office of I'M
rerial Water Company No. IN the
city of Brawiey. The meeting is of
IN educational character, applying
no obligation whatever to those who
may attend, the purpose being mere
~ to give Imperial Valley alfalfa
growers an understanding of the OBJ
iccts and aims of the exchange.
The exchange has record of sue
cess and those acquainted with the
facts give the exchange credit for
having steadied the price of hay in
Imperial Valley and probably can
be said to have brought the farmers
from $500 to $500 per ton more
than would have been received with
ont the organization, and this even
though the exchange does not pre-
tend to be functioning perfectly.
The exchange principle has been
well tried and well proved in the
state of California. The citrus aud
deciduous growers give cooperation
credit for their success, while rails,
ins, walnuts and other products are
also known to depend for success
upon the support which they receive
from cooperation. In Imperial Val
ley the grain growers have scored
success through cooperation, main
tanning the price and in eases have
driven spectators from the field.
The Alfalfa Growers Exchange is
q business movement and seeks to
apply ordinary business economies
and efficiency to the farmers af-
fairs-in fact to do he things which
every other industry has found nee
essary to success. The movement
gains in efficiency and effectiveness
by having full support from grow
crs. The work of Mr.. Gregory and
Mr. Otis is to bring the message to
Imperial County hay growers and
let it be known that there is avail
able to them an organization which
can very materially increase their
prosperity.

ARIZONA HAS
WRANCLE OVER
RIVER PACT
Yuma Valley Man Tells
of Cooperation With
Imperial

PHOENIX, Feb. 9.-The Colorado
River pact was before the house
most of the day Yesterday and today
and the senate generally was at re-
cess to hear the argument.
Assertion was made that the Col
Orado is Arizona s and that her rep
resentatives had no right to give it
away. McGrath suggested delay
that there might be dickcring with
the other states of the basin, assert
ing that unless more is given Ari.
zona the trade is all off. The gal
lery gave quick approval to the
statement that eff the pact is rat
flied, we have signed Arizona s
death knell."
Wisencr Talks
Goodwin had made sarcastic an
swer to statement of the morning
by Mr.. Wisener, in witch Yuma Val
ley had been likened to garden of
Eden. Mr.. Wisener took up the ar
gument, pleading not only for Yuma
Valley, but for Palo Verde and I'm
perial, eloquently telling the need
of the three localities for prompt
and patriotic action.
In reference to the proposal that
Arizona should be guaranteed
against a draft by Mexico in excess
of 100000 acre feet, he asked how
the Arizona Legislature had AFRO
gated to itself the privilege of
treaty making. In any event, inter.
national problems with respect to
the use of streams had been fairly
well settled by rulings over the Rio
Grande.
Yuma Helps Imperial
"We people of the Yuma Valley
repeatedly have helped the people
of Imperial" he said, "not only
in compassion, but with a sense of
what the Colorado in its repeated
June menace might do to us if the
levees were to break
Then he made reference to inter
ests that sought to protect dams
never located and never de-
veloped, sensationally adding:
~ have been approached today
with an offer of 300 per cent of
the value of my Yuma holdings of
The value of my Yuma hold
quit my support OF the pact" He
pleaded for unity among the states
involved, and for appreciation that
ings if only l will lie down and
was made OF a telegram from Repre-
sentative Carl HAYDEN in which was
stated: ''In my opinion, backed by
competent legal advice, approval OF
the Colorado River compact by the
Arizona legislature, with rcserva
lions or amendments is, in fact, no
approval at all. The adoption of
any rider imposing conditions or
limitations means that a new com
pact must be negotiated with each
state left entirely free to demand
further changes, which in the end
would probably kill the compact"

Officer d. p. Bates and Lieuten-
ant r. NJ. Linkous of the Fresno po-
lice department, appeared before

neetion with the investigation being
held into the actions of Bates who
is accused of having attempted 90
assist in the escape of Dave Polin,
whom Bates had been sent to take
from Calexico to Fresno as a pris.
oner, late in December.

still before that body.
Lieutenant Linkous' only connec-
ton with the ease is as a character

the good recommendation given
Bates by his superior officer. the
former was released by the district

Booklet

hotel which is one Of the fine IT
pieces of boosting literature which
has ever been issued for this county
or any of its special interests. Mr..
Conway has caught great vision
and with it the very practical idea
Of capitalizing the sentiment which
surrounds his hotel because Of It's
association with the story Of Harold
Bell Wright's greatest book.
The central theme of the booklet
is the story Of the Winning of
Barbara WORTH as it is depicted
in the frescoes and murals of the
lobby. There are excellent repro
ductions of the panels and with each
is an explanation of the chapter in
the story which the painting illus
trates. The matter CT the booklet
was written by John Greer who has
giver it a special interest for local
people because of its Introduction
to the local chara cters who posed as
subjects for the svmbolical figures
in the painting. whispering Ed'
Forester is immortalized forever.
