San Francisco artist who was
brought to this city by w. r. Con-

Worth, has jusi completed work on
series of mural paintings on the
mezzanine floor of the local hosiery.
Ever since its erection some ten
years ago, the Hotel Barbara Worth
has stood ont among the hotels of
Southern California because of its
unique desert atmosphere, ard the
fact that tourists coming to I'M
perial Valley were greatly surprised
to find a hotel of the first class in
place which they believed was de-
void of many of the necessities and
practically ali of the luxuries of
civilization.
When the local hotel received its
name, IT'S distinctive local character
was assured, and since that the
time the management has added
to rather than lessened the prestige
which came from the story of the
Winning of Barbara Worth, y with
its. setting in "'la palma de la ma

But it remained for Mine Host

Cold Weather

How hate to journey forth on
these bitter winter morns. For the
wind is from the north and has
bells upon its horns; with that
wind l have a tiff, and It hands me
swat and biff, and l soon am frozen
stiff from my whiskers to my corns,
In the herman sort of tales we are
always being told there is pep in
arctic gales, there is stimulant in
cold; where the blizzards fiercely
skim till they'd rend you limb from
limb, you are filled with snap and
vim and with vigor manifold Let
the he-man face the storm, in their
bold red-blooded way; l feel best
when ! am warm, when I'm snugly
IN the hay; let the hero, minus fears,
face the blizzard that uprears;
have frozen both my ears, and
found it didn't pay. I have frozen
both my feet when toiled upon the
farm. and I say that warmth is
sweet and that cold has little charm
let me sit before the fire with my
dachshund and my Tyre, while the
herman we admire view such com
tort with alarm. Let the bold
heroic souls tread the snowy arctic
waste, while the bitter tempes st
rolls o'cr the land in frantic haste +;
let them struggle with despair,
combing icebergs from their hair ;
but a padded easy chair is more
strictly to my taste.

GRAZING FEES STAND.

Livestock grazing fees on the
national forest ranges will not be
changed at the close Of this year, but
will continue as at present until the
end of 1925.
In telegram to the National
Growers Association, Col w. B.
Greeley. chief of the forest service,
said he recognized "the bad effect of
any Increase in grazing fees while
the livestock industry Is suffering
acutely from economic collapse fol-
lowing the world war, with the added
handicaps of burdensome freight
rates and OF drought in some re-
gions."
In consequence. Secretary Wallace
OF the Department of Agriculture, on
Col. Greeley's recommendation, has
agreed that new grazing fees, which
were to. have been announced soon
TO go into effect in 1924, be not eff.
fective until 1925.
