and an unbroken senate precedent
provides the senior member of the
majority party shall be floor leader.
However, Warren is chairman of
appropriations committee and for
many years has devoted his entire
energies to that post. Also, he has
reached advanced age and his
friends have some doubt he nigh
be able to stand the added respons
ibility of leadership.
A plan put forward would make
Warren nominal floor leader and
designate Senator Curtis, Kansas,
Rpublican whip, as a deputy lead
er to attend to the floor responsible
ity of party leader.
Gillett, Massachusetts, because of
his close association with President
Coolidge would be regarded under
this arrangement as an informal adj
minisiration leader, confining his
leadership rather to party eounselS
than to debate and parliamentary
tactics on the floor.
Borah definitely has decided to
take Lodges post though he has the
choice of the foreign relations com
mittee and the important judiciary
committee, too which he is entitled
to the Craftsmanship also by virtue
of the death of Senator Brandegee.
May Sway Hughes
The Idaho senator's interests
broad as they are, lie chiefly in the
foreign field and his views on for
eign questions, particularly Russia
were an Issue in. his recent campaign
for reelection. 1t is known that
Borah considers the fact that he
polled a 50 per cent larger vote
than Coolidge in Idaho as mandate
to continue advocacy ff his "un
orthodox tenets.
Borah g attainment of the key
posts may have some bearing on the
decision of Secretary of State
Hughes to remain in the cabinet.
Hughes, already wavering toward
giving up his post, may find in the
prospect of inevitable conflict wlth
Borah on Russian policy additional
reason TO withdraw.
American policy toward Latin
America is regarded by Borah as
imperialistie and he has been as de.
terInined a critic of Hughes III that
field ms he has on his Russian views.

About 40 scoutmasters and men
interested in scouting activities in
the valley attended the first scout
leaders, training institute to be held
here, at the week end boy scout
camp southwest of FL Centre. The
expert leadership of Charles n. Mil
Ter, regional scout executive from
Los Angeles, George G. Walker,
scout executive from San Bernar-
dino, and Howard X. Merritt, from
Riverside, together with the fine en-
thusiasm and cooperation of the
men, made the course n big success
from start to finish. The men at
tending the camp were from all parts
of the county and from al walks Of
life and they welcomed this oppor-
tunity to learn scouting and to be
of service in this line of work.
Decision was made during the
camp to hold Il similar training in
stitute for the older boys in the
scouting organization, that is the
senior patrol leaders .and patrol
men. to take place in few months.

partly to the Globe Milling Compa-
ny.
Later on two checks came through
the company S accounts. the check
being palpable forgeries. and the
district attorney called i'll the SER
vices of an expert who swore that
the handwriting of the payee was
Cummings. While the forgery charge
was pending Cummings made the
startling statement that he had rob
bed himself, and as result of that
he got six months, and will be charg
ed with forgery of the two checks

INDOOR CIRCUS
AT HIGH SCHOOL
TO BE NOVELTY

Much interest is attached to the
announcement that the La Solana
staff of Central High School is
planning an "indoor circus,' and
hopes to have every sort of animal,
wild or tame, on exhibit, as well
as the proverbial fat and skinny
man and lady, fire-eating demon,
freak animals, human and other
wise, etc. To tell all the clever
and unusual stunts these students
plan would spoil the fun for those
who will attend but suffice it to
say that it gives promise of being
one of the peppiest and most clever
affairs ever staged by local pupils.
The circus, which will be staged
November 81 and %, will be held
at the high school auditorium and
other school buildings, and several
side shows have already been ar
ranged for. One hundred performs
ers will be in action and a one
ring circus with an honest-to- good
ness pony and acrobats will be one
of the main features. Freak ami
mails will bray and howl and a
vaudeville show will help fill in
the spare moments, while the or
chestra and glee club singers VIII
provide music for the occasion.
True to circus etiquette, there vii!
be a parade on both afternoons
preceding the show. Other events
will be mentioned in due time.
Every resident of FL Centre is
asked to keep the dates i'll mind
and plan to attend, as the affair is
being given solely and simply for
the purpose of raising funds to fin
ance the next issue of the famous
La Solona, the school annual.

Ell Centre Squad
Plays Holtville
Armistice Day

FL Centre s high school eleven
will meet the Holtville squad at the
neighboring city tomorrow aftern oon
in the third battle of the series for
the high school championship of
the valley. The game will rival
the Armistice day celebration ut Ca
lipatria as an attraction. Interest
in the contest is keen and it is ex
pected that many I'll Centrans will
take advantage of the holiday to
follow their tesn to Itoltville to
cheer them on toward the coveted
trophy.
Holtville S teams are known for
their scrappy playing. This season s
eleven is light but very fast. They
played Calexieo Is e to tie and
Brawley made 13 20 0 score
against them, but that game will
probably not count since it appears
that Brawley used an ineligible
player.
Central has scored a decisive win
each against Brawley and Calexico
and Coach Armstrong; principal
worry is "over confidence, which
has wrecked many promising sea-
son.
The lineup for the game will be
practically the same as against
Brawley. The tackle position is
causing the coach some concern
Burrage, left tackle, is suffering
from an epidemic of boils. Max
well, sub tackle has a sore knee and
Greene, another reserve tackle, has
a lame ankle. Allen has bad
cold. Otherwise the SOU L is fit.
The Central light weights beat
the Brawley Grammar school team
