Wealthy Frau Marie 'Telder, "a,
has appealed to a magistrate TO de
eide to whom she is married and
whether she has two husbands.
Until recently she was sure she
was living with one man but sus-

leading her to believe her husband
is not always the same man. Both
if two, are identical in appearance
She wants the matter cleared up
to decide who is father of an ex-

The Board of Supervisors has re-
ceived in open letter from Presi-
dent A. B.'West, of the llolton Pow
er. Company, in reference to the
refusal of the Board, on March 10,
to advertise for sale a franchise for
which application has been made
by the Power Company. The first
advertisement bad been published
by the Supervisors when the Grand
Jury, then in session, intervened
and insisted that the Board S ac-
tion be rescinded and further ac.
ton suspended, which was accord.
ingly done. 1t was cOntended by
the jury, that the franchise should
be held up until such time as other
bidders were in the field, when.
the county would benefit by compe-
titive bids.
In substance, President West s
letter is as follows:
"Newspapers reports of the ac,
ton of the board are in several cas-.

Holton Power Company, which was
organized several years before the
county was created to supply elec-

Pleased

Tonight is "Carnival Night at
the big Automobile Snow and plans
have been made to take care of Il
record breakingf crowd, which it
is believed will visit the show
which has succeeded in attracting
the attention of automobile men iii
all parts of Southern California
and has been mentioned favorably
in the large city newspapers.
According to Charles n. Merralls,
manager OF the show, Carnival
Night means just what it says,
and just as the auto dealers made
good on their slogan "Eet s Go, -
when their tent was nearly destroy
ed Tuesday, so now they promise
to make good on Carnival Night.
Special entertainment numbers
have been arranged for the oc
casion and there will be plenty of
confetti, favors, caps and music to
make the occasion memorable
one. There will be dancing fof
those who wish to trip the light
fantastic and plenty of it. The
dancing space has been one of the
most popular sections of the show
for the past three nights.
Many Visitors
A considerable number Visited
the show this afternoon and n
steady stream could be noticed
vending their way to and from the
big tent. Large parties came from
the other valley towns where the
show has been commanding no lit
tie attention.
Sales are reported to be very
satisfactory to the dealers. The ex-
hibitors of accessories have also
kept busy, and these boys deserve Il
lot of credit, according to Manager
Merralls fo rthe hearty support
they have given to the dealers.
Without accessories, an auto show
is like bread without butter.
Tomorrow afternoon the show
will be open for exhibition and spe
cial musical numbers have been ar
ranged for both occasions. The
show men believe that Sunday will
be the top notch day in attendance,
us they expect many of the ranch
ers who could not conveniently
visit the show during the week to
be on hand tomorrow.
While there has been nothing to
cause anyone to find fault with the
conduct of the show at any time
during the past three days, the
show committee assures the public
that due observance will be accord
ed the best Sunday traditions and
they regret that owing to the post
ponement of the show when the
tent was blown down, it has been
necessary to have it lap over on
Sunday, but believe that the peo-
pie of Ell Centro are with them in
this Action and will show it by
their attendance tomorrow.

C. of G. UphOlds Bill to Give Service
Commission Control.

Opposition to the Moorhead bill to
place motor buses and trucks under
the regulation of the public service
commission was voiced by motor bus
officials, truck and wholesale shippers
at a hearing of the Senate Roads
Committee.
I'VE do not think we can get fair
treatment from the commission,
said S. c. Hadden, secretary of the
Allied Motor Commerce. H. e. Johns
of La Porte, president of Indiana
bus men, said regulation was unfair
until bus lines were firmly established.
Indianapolis wholesale grocers said
trucks were almost a necessity. Sen
ator Robert B. Shirley, Democrat, a
member of the committee, opposed
regulation as a blow to rural trans
portation. George H. Mosser of the
State Chamber of Commerce favored
the bill.

American Legion posts and civic
bodies.
In an effort to settle the battle
which has been raging within the

suggest that the Legislature set aside
either the day before or the day after
Memorial day as a holiday, Speedway
day.

action was taken by the Optimist Club.
Opponents Of the bill today asserted
q reported change of attitude by Rep

The Vegetable Compound is
