Cow Testing Proves Profitable,
Better Feed Responsible For
Big Increase in Production

The most noticeable thing about
the report of the four COW testers
for the month Of October, is the in
crease over September, in the ave,
rage production per COW. In Sep
tember the average production for
the association was 500 pounds Of
milk and 23.5 pounds of butterfat
per COW. In October the average
production per cow was CSC pounds
of milk and 27.7 pounds of butter
fat. This is an increase of AZ
pounds of butterfat per COW for
the month.
Probably there are muanbe8SS
Probably there are number of
causes for this increase in produc-
ton but without doubt better feed
ing is chiefly responsible. The re-
port shows that 81 of the 80 dairy
men whose herds were tested were
feeding whole cottonseed and that
the average increase in production
over September in these herds was
&C. pounds Of butterfat per COW for
the month, while as has already
been stated, the average increase
per COW in the whole association
was only 40 pounds Of butterfat
per cow. Apparently it pays to
feed whole cottonseed to dairy cows,
especially when it costs less than
$50 per ton.
During the month Of October, go
herds including 2761 cows were test,
ed in the Imperial County Farm
Bureau Cow Testing Association.
The average production per COW for
the month was CSC pounds Of milk
and 27.7 pounds of butterfat. Dur
ing October 1923, the average pro-
duction per cow was $50 pounds
Of milk and 25.9 pounds Of butter
fat per cow for the month. This
shows a considerable improvement
in production.
Brawley Cows Highest
The four highest producing cows
for this month are owned by +. A..
Mater Of Brawley. They produced,
respectively, 1875 pounds of but
terfat, 9s.4 pounds Of butterfat,
SS.6 pounds of butterfat and 87.3

Tonight Is Last
Night Tom Mix
At the Palace

Tonight for the last time will be
shown Tom Mix in "The Last Of
the Duanes,' at the Palace theatre.
All those who saw the picture last
night united in praising Tom Mix
who pOrtrays the roe of the last
Duane with naturalness.
An attempt to vamp an Egyp-
tian king more than s,x thousand
years ago, leads to the imprison-
ment in q bottle of genie who,
centuries later, materializes in an
English home, and this is what
forms the basis of the amazing plot
of Maurice Tourneur "The Brass
Bottle' the First National picture
playing at the Palace theatre Tues
day night. Barbara La Marr is
very fittingly east as the vamp,
Joseph De Grasse as the king and
Ernest Terrence as the genie. Har-
ry Myers is seen as the young Eng
lishman who subsequently has the
embarrassing genie on his hands.

THE BAT LAUDED AS GREAT SHOW Life's Dramatic Critic Praises Noted Stage
 Success
.Jt oorto;,lv ;s n grand show"

Ut certainly is a grand show.
 That was the way the dramatic critic for Life, summed up his review of "Ihe Bat" by Mary Roberts Rinehart, and Avery Hopwood, which Wagenhais and Kemper present at the Jefferson theater on Thursday, Friday, Saturday mat inee and if subsequent records may be accepted as proof, the critic was cer' tainly right in his judgment.
 The Bat" has broken every the atrical record of New York and Chicago for popularity and success, as measured by the standards of the box office. And there is no one to deny that that after all. is the test of play. If the pub lie likes it, it is good and if the pub lie doesn't, all the arguments in the world cannot make it stand as good play.
 The Bat is a thrilling mystery play throughout which there runs q vein of comedy that is irresistibly funny. One moment you are thrilled until your hair fairly stands on end and the next, you are plunged in perfect paroxysm of laughter.
 "The Bat" is presented under the management of Wagenhals and Kemper, known for years in the theatrical world for their success in producing successes. It has been handsomely staged and is acted with consummate skill by an ex- cellent company.

STAR
 OF BIG PICTURE
Thief Of Bagdad' Opens Next Monday At
 Jefferson

Douglas Fairbanks will be seen in the Arabian Nights tale, "The Thief of Bagdad," at the Jefferson theater for q weeks engagement, beginning Mon- day night, December s. Two showings will be given daily thereafter at Z 2:3o and 8 80 D. m.
 It was, according to all accounts, the great good fortune of the screen, that Douglas Fairbanks came upon this amazingly romantic love story and that he undertook to make it into photo play. Moving picture critics, i'll such cities as The Thief of Bagdad' has been shown, have been unanimous Ill as serting that it is the greatest film ever made.
 The Thief of Bagdad" is no more spectacle; no more bringing together or crowds to appall the multitude. When q crowd or even an army is desired, the thief simply takes seed from box, throws it on the ground, and 10 huge army with banners springs from the earth. This sort of thing is the warp and wool of "The Thief of Bag dad" This is a fantasy, not mere dragging together of human oenss' However, "The Thief of Bagdad' is no mere stringing together of astonishing, surprising and astounding happenings; it is indeed a highly romantic story, never departed from for mere spectacles sake, but into which in the development of the story, come all these various tre- mendously exciting occurrences. With Douglas Fairbanks, it is the story that is all important,-and 'The Thief Of Bagdad" is a rousing dramatic nara tive told with enchanting charm. This picture will positively not be shown at any other place in this city this year.

make his shimmy shake on tea" His partner, a sure enough high brow, with lots of lokos and everything, was a '.blues" specialist. Together, the pair of them made a tremendous hit.
 Rickard, ventriloquist, proved to be unusually proficient with his little dummy, and with the aid of clever partner, Miss Gray, managed to get off a very nice act. Miss Gray made a hit with a solo on one of the numer- ous horns known to the musical world.
 Gormley and Cafferty, comedians and acrobats, finished strong in their per formance, and wound up their act with some really clever acrobatic stunts. In addition, their humor was wholesome and high class, and the pair received a nice ovation.
 The Arleys, the curtain raiser, have some special feats to offer in the line of pole balancing and acrobatic feats by Miss Arley from the top of the long pole balanced by her partner.
 A special photoplay attraction is billed in, '"The Lover of Camille, starring Marie Provost. The scene is laid in Parisian theatrical circles, with an unusual amount of pathos attached to the plot In addition, news events and Loews features round out the screen offerings.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE LYRIC

Lyric patrons for the first half of the week were treated to Japanese nov city act, in "a surprise from the Ori- ent," the Meyakos, performers in the act, composed the headline attraction, and with their novelty performance, which presented many unusual features, made great hit with the audience.
 A good male quartet is assured an eager reception anywhere, and that's what the Temple Four specialize-good "quarteting." Jack White, Arthur k. Brooks, Phil Smith and Harold Roland, comprising the ql lrtet, were called pack for encore after encore, and with thelr songs and harmony were not far be- hind the Meyakos as headliners.
 Mama Loves Papa," on the stage, had variations to offer Monday night, and Bobby Bernard and Adele Kellar, with their comedy skit proved stellar attraction. The act was featured by special songs, which Bobby and Adele carried off well, and the act was most enjoyable.
 Music and comedy vied for major popularity. with Randolph and Hurst presenting their act, Harmony and Lau .hs.' The title is self expanatory, and Randolph and Hurst live up to all that's promised.
 The element of the mysterious was introduced by Lloyd Nevada and com pany. The program promised mirth and mystery, and both were present in the performance in large quantities, with accent on the mysterious.
 The photoplay attractions had Pathe News and Aesop's fables. Patrons are beginning to watch for those fables as weekly attractions, and the funy little animal characters made as big hit as ever Monday night.

The latter is slain in circumstances winch point to the guilt of the girls sweetheart, but after many thrilling incidents, his in nocence is established. David Powell gives an artistic portrayal opposite to Miss Dalton. The supporting company is highly capable. The picture is rare entertainment and we'll worth seeing.

Nan is one of those impul- sive, warm-hearted girls who leap first and look afterwards. She marries a man she does not love, to save her father from bankruptcy. Fate seems to reward her by separating them even be- fore the honeymoon but of course he comes back and then the trouble begins. The story works up to dramatic climax which we are not mean enough to give away. Suffice it to say that it holds you breathless and to use an ex- pression of the sweet young things, "thrilled to death''
