Great Picture
Sensation Is
Here Tonight

Tonight FL Centre people are to
have the unusual privilege of seeing
at the Palace thcater, one of the
biggest screen pictures of the season
used 10 open Grammar new theater
in Los Angeles at five dollars n
seat, and at no advance over usual
prices here.
MY American Wife, has a
Spanish American background, with
chief scenes laid in Argentina,
South America. Horse races, duels,
tango parties and other tvpically
South American atmosphere help to
make this film decidedly different,
and with Gloria Swanson and An
tonic Moreno taking the leading
roles, an unusual picture is the re-
result.
Moreno s appearance with Gloria
Swanson marks his debut in Para
mount pictures.
Joseph Swicka1d, Geno Corrado,
Edythe Chapman, Eileen Pringle,
Walter Long, +. r. Butler and Jac-
ques D'Auray are other notables
who have important roles in the
production.

Drainage Ditch
in, Dry Land is
Cause of Concern

Engineer d. w. Murphy and ithc
force in the drainage department of
the Irrigation District are being
subjected TO much joshing because
of criticisms made that the drainage
canals have been routed through
dry country. 1t happens that con
spicuous example is the central
drain passing westward between I'm
perial and FL Centre which is with
out any showing Of seepage water
End furnishes the bystander occas-
ion for amateur exporting on en-
gineering subjects.
The drain is constructed to tap a
waterloggeG area to the west. The
surveys showed the central area to
be dry, but Mr. Murphy was not
able to devise any plan for getting
the water out of the wet area except
by building drain up to it through
the intervening dry area. The Ala
mo is the nearest outlet. The fact
that the section between here and
Imperial happens to be dry has
saved immense sums in the cost of
structures under the highways and
railroads where syphons were ncces-
sary.
Railroads handled more than 40O,-
600 carloads of automobiles during
1922, or 100000 cars, n

At the close of the proceedings,
when Sheriff Giilett was handcuff-

broadly 1T the spectators and Camp

Suit is Set tied

Suitof Noah Williams against I'm
perial Water Company No. 9, for
damages of $4,000, has been set
tied out OF court and an order for
dismissal Of the action has been en-
entered by the attorneys, In his
complaint against the water scom-
pany, Williams contended that re-
pairs which had been made on the
company's main irrigation 6 canal
were faulty and allowed the water
TO seep through onto Williams GAO
fcres of land, making it watcrlog-
Ged and unfit for cultivation.
The amount of settlement was
said to have been in the neighbor-
hood of $500, though this sum could
rot be verified today.

PRIZE WINNER

IN n Pullman smoking compartment heard Il
rich Boosting that he had baseball pass
in guessing contest conducted by newspaper.
u worked nights for week., he churklcd "and darncd
il | didn't hit it Just right |!
In rough know the amount Of this mans wealth.
by reputation and figure that cost him least $500
worth of time to win the that he could have bought for
less thnn 500. or he worked out in spare time
but spare time IL valuable to him because il il needed for
relaxation from brain work Then too obscsscd with
ming the prize. he probably had his mind, detractng
his attention from his occupation during general working
hours Of the day.
Eliminate the cash end doesn't mat ter much For he
have been Just M clacd if he had prize of ST.
How do you explain this rich mans iubiation over
victory that wasn't worth the price it cost--to him?
Your first explanation probably is. lIc got nothing
for nothing
There is no thrill like finding money-gctting it without
tenn that Keeps to the grindstonc The average
millionaire gets bigger thrill from finding SIS godpcce
thah from cleaning up $1,000 in business deal. And,
matter how valuable his time. he'll delay whatever he was
intent on and search the premises to if SIS gold
pieces nearby.
You know how this weakness persists suhconsciols
minds and rises to the conscious surface during dreams
which find coin after until our pockets are filled
Something for nothing Is the lure that wastes time and
takes the suckers savings,
greater motive than Something FOR nothing" how
ever animated the rich in the baseball guessing con-
test His thrill, az victor mostly from the realization
That IN winning he demonstrated ccverness superior that
OF the other contestants.
In u battle Of Wits he won
That the motive of your business genius as much as
and often more than the actual accumulation of profits
Vanity pridc~s our motive in the things we do "A lot
oltener and to greater extent than any of realize.

mother and dad here-dad came
home the day you left-with you
| gene.
Last night l dreamed that
was pinning II crepe veil about my
hat and awakened sobbing and
crying because, in some vague way
lit seemed to me that you were
the one for whom | was wearing
mourning.
Right here. dear Jack, l stop
ped to,kncel down beside our bless
ed baby. l really believe he knows
me. He opened his eyes and his
tiny mouth puckercd up like a
little crushed rose bud. l couldn't
fcsist-it. l grabbed him up and
almost smothered him with kisses
and he never cried. Instead his
Fmoist little mouth seemed to re-
.spond to my caresses as he snug
gled up close against my neck.
Oh. he IS the sweetest thing that
was ever sent to comfort heart
sick woman!
You can tell Sydney Carton for
me that if he does not come up
here within the next few weeks /
will not let him be godfather to
my boy. l, you know. will act as
proxy for my sister.
BY the way, | have had a letter
from Alice. She is having Won
derful time. Mother proposed to
me yesterday that she and l should
go over and come back with her.
At any time in my life before this
l should have accepted the invita-
ton with the greatest joy, but now
l couldn't go, dear Jack. l could
nj leave my Man and Child.
Nothing cc,id see in all
Europe would be so wonderful as
looking into your eyes and seeing
love there. Nothing that l could
hold in my hands. even if they
