MORE RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES

Now that vacation days are nearly over and
families returning again for the opening of school
the problem of winter recreation again presents it
self.
The eight hours we sleep and the eight hours we
work pretty much the for all of but, what
going to do with spare time? 1t is dur
ing the eight hours of leisure that we do all of our
real living, get all enjoyment and get into all
mischief.
In community such as this valley, recreation
al opportunities are, of necessity, somewhat limited
From theatrical point of view, for instance, Ell
Centre is practically off the map, account of the
enormous increases in transportation and salaries IN
cidental to the business.
But the valley needs theatrical entertainments as
we'll the movies. Good plays are the sort of con-
genial recreation that the whole family enjoy the
kind of amusement that helps to keep the young
people at home.
Only through a permanent stock company,
however, the valley hope to secure season OF
drama. And there is prospect that an excellent
company of this sort can be brought here for the
six months winter The Press is heartily in
favor of the project and would like to hear from
readers regarding the matter.
The aggregation have in mind is not the old
cheap repertoire company, the tent show Quite
contrary, it is recommended by thoroughly reliable
judges a capable corps of actors and actresses
who will offer to the Imperial Valley public good
plays, obtained royalty basis, that could not be
seen otherwise save in large cities Would Imperial
Valley support such company? People are hum
CRY for good plays and we believe they will support
such organization and support it WELL
Bear in mind that first class stock company is
an economic as we'll recreational asset to COM
munity thereby differing from road company. The
road show comes in at two dollars seat and de-
parts next day taking with it practically every cent
Members of the stock company live in the communl-
ty spending most of their receipts in rent food cloth
ing, lumber paint and the numerous accessories of
the profession. In fact all the money taken in at the
box office, with the exception of the percentage
paid for the use of plays, remains right here IN cir
culation.
The excellent company which proposes coming
here for the winter has been playing the coast for
some years 1t has not yet contracted for a city
and the valley has the first option it for the season.
In the players here these are some of the
plays that will be available: "Smn' Through" Peg
O. NY Heart" clarence" lombard, Ltd 'Oh
Hubby!," "The Virgnian," Grumpy Thin lee,
"The Brat" Experience" "The New Henrietta,
"Daddies" Cousin Kate" Peggy Behave "The
Dover Road,' and others of like worth and proved
popularity.
furthermore, the management guarantees to pro-
duce these plays in manner as near replica as
possible of the original New York productions and at
prices within the reach of all.
The Imperial Valley Press will be interested in
the communitys reaction to this proposal Let US hear
from you.

FARM PESSIMISM

disinterested economist estimates that the total
value of American farm products this year will be 6O
per cent higher than the average value before the
war He also finds that the farmers expenses
have gone up less than go per cent. The farmer may
be little worse off than other classes but evident
y not enough to Justify all the pesslmlsm prevail
ing among the farming population and voiced IN re-
cent months by its representatives.
Perhaps the farmers real grievance is not that
he is worse off than he before the war but that
he Il not so much better off other classes of pro-
dueers II has been shown recently that industrial
workers are getting twice much pay as they got
before the war while obliged to pay only 50 per cent
more for living expenses.
The typical farmer Is both workman ana ouS-
mess man It is uncertain just how the average bus
,nass man has Jared, but his income probably gives
him litgle less margin of profit than the wage
Garner. compared with his pre-war income, and
little more than the farmer

Woman Leads In
Attempts To

DOVER, England, Aug. 90
Six attempts were to be made
to swim the English channel to-
day and break the record es-
tablished by the Argentinan
Tiraboschi.
Among the contestants was
woman, Miss Gotta Hills, who
started from Folkstone at 7 a.
m, and was six miles out on
her way to France an hour
later.
Others scheduled to start
from the British shore were
Charles 10th, Boston, who was
forced to abandon his attempt
last week when within few
miles of his goal, and the Eng
lishmen, Fred Record an d
Frank Parks.
The men all expected to
start from near this port this
evening.
10th had expected to start
this morning but on his pilots
advice, postponed the jump-off
until 7 p. m.
Two swimmers, Perrault and
Mitchell, were to start from. the
French shore, near where Tira-
boschi put off. They had plan
ned to start yesterday but
postponed the attempt until
today because of bad weather.

That seems to be the catch in all the tablerap-

But while people who working steadily on this
plane at poems or inventions wherewith they hope
to help their felowmen are often conscious OF sort
of inspiration which forwards their work. the defn

Importance.
Studying these phenomena as natural forces
might lead to happness and vision of the distant

Man Killed When
Bandits Hold
Up Poker Game

REDDING, Cal, Augut 20.-One
man was killed and several Others
badly battered by fists here last
night when two bandits, admitted
as spectators to a poker game, in
pit No. 3, attempted to rob the
participants and escaped after ex-
tended fist and gun play.
John Dogdan, an employe of the
Pacific Gas and Electric company,
was the man killed.
When the players OWNED the in
tentions of the bandits, melee en-.
sued, in which the bandits used
their guns and the poker players
their fists. Not until the two men
escaped in their automobile was the
death of Dogdan discovered.
Siskiyou county officers overlook
the bandit car near Barley this
morning and arrested one. ThJ
other escaped into the brush. They
obtained 5000.
The bandits varied greatly in
stature. One was short and slight
the other broad and tall.
The "little fellow as officers
call him because of his refusal to
reveal his name, is held in jail al
Sisson. The "big fellow is be.
lieved to be in the McCloud river
country, where officers are tracking
him.
The bandit car was smeared with
blood, showing that both bandits
bled freely during the flight. TIL,
capture of the larger bandit, who
| is believed to be considerably weak
ened by loss of blood, is expected
before nightfall.

UNCLE WIGG1LY AND THE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping past
the home of the Twistytail pig
family one day, when Mrs. Twisty-

ed out, saying:
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily, please come
in here a moment, will you'''
"What is the matter!' asked
the bunny gentleman, waving his
long ears to and fro. Has the Fuz-

"Whatever happened 60 you,
Squeakie2" asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Did you dig your nose into the
sand and cut it on an old tin can?"
"No, Uncle Wiggily," answer
ed Squeakie, speaking as though he
had a cold in his head. "But 1 was
down by the brook yesterday, play

the ball and it fell in a cluster of

and l stuck my nose in the shiny
leaves. And today my nose hurts

Squeakie began to cry and that

"What do you suppose could have

"and what does he mean by those
