A particularly fine picture is
scheduled for the Valley tomorrow
r;rht when "The Warrens of Vir-
ginia" is shown for the one night
un.y. The film is founded on the
famous book Of the same name and
is stirring picture Of the Civil
War era.
Some of the most historical places
now existing in the United States
are shown in the various scenes. The
picture was made under the direc-
ton Of Elmer Clifton and deals with
the closing days of the Civil War.
One of the places visited was
Shirley, Virginia, where the origi-
nal home of Gen. Robert f. Lee still
stands as it was when Gen. Lee g
mother, who was Anne Carter, re-
sided there. 1t was in this home
also that Gen. Lees grandparents
were married. Many of the scenes
shown in the picture are taken in
and around this house.
Another historical place shown in
the picture is the famous San Jose
Mission near San Antonio.
Baby Mary Rose, diminutive
actress, will appear at the Valley
theater tonight in a song and vau-
deville program. Baby Mary is
Of "Our Gang comedy
pictures and is full of grace and
charm, and will doubtless attract
good sized audience.

Election Time Gives Business
Men Breathing Spell, Business
on Upward Trend After Election

BABSON PARK, Mass, Novem-
Der Roger w. Babson today is
sued the following statement re-
garding the election and business:
/. Everything in this world has
its advantages and its disadTani-
ages as we'll as its uses and abuses.
This applies to the effect of Fresi-
Dental elections on business as well
as to everything else. Even sick
nesses have their uses since they
force men to lie quiet for while,
rest up, review their plans, make
new resolutions and start afresh. A
great English statesman once said:
American business men need only
one thing, namely to be locked IN a
room for about three weeks each
year and forced to think and get
their bearings In this general way
the election does good thing IN
slowing down business for a few
weeks preceding election day. Ev-
eryone can use the election rs an
alibi, or as an excuse, ito do what
he has not the self control to do
without such an alibi. This applies
to I'll lines of business, and really
is good thing.
"The banks hold off loaning
money until after election. This
gives them chance to get cleared
up and in strong financial posi-
tion. The merchants tell the sales
men who call on them to wait un-
til after election This gives them
q chance to get their shelves clean
ed and work off old stock prepara-
tory to some real buying. The man
ufacturer uses the election as an ali
bi to reduce overhead, adjust
wages and introduce some real eff
ficiencv in the business. OF course
all these things make business quiet
for two or three months preceding
election day, but they are ali help
full. Hence, although business ha
been pretty poor in many lines dur
ing the summer and fall, yet little
has been lost and much gained by
the house cleaning and rest per
iod that this prediction conserva
ton has caused. Business as shown
by the Babsonchart, is today s per
cent below normal as compared with
l6 per cent below normal q year
ago. Obviously the fundamental

situation is much better than it was
then.
Commodity Action
"It is interesting to note the ac-
tion of the commodity market in
election years. Taking the last
five election years. 904- 1908 1912
l91G-192C-we find that the price
level Of all commodities advanced
in four years and declined in one.
The decline was shown during the
drastic readjustment and depression
of 1920 and 1921. Bradstreet IS in
dex shows that the price level
reached a low of 1851 in July, 1904.
Then there was steady climb to
a point six months later of 8.082.
1908 and 1909 was an exact dupli-
cate Of the 1904 movement. 1912
and 1913 was no exception and
four years later, we again see &
similar move Il low in August 1916
of 1l.44l, then steady rise six
months later to about 14.l00. The
next election year, 1920, found
prices steadily downward. So far,
1924 has followed exactly the move
menrs noted in the four years of r;s-
ing prices.
3oooth groups of commodities, in
dustrial and agricultural, sympath
lied with the trends mentioned
above. The main difference, how
ever, is noted in the fact that in
dustrial commodities, as shown by
the Babson Industrial Index, in
1904, 1908, 1912 and 1916 reached
the yearly low point before the
election and held higher average
into the inaugurate year, while
agricultural products in these same
years reached their low after elec-
ton.
Alibis No Longer Good
"'The results of the election ar,
not satisfactoryto everyone. Man,
people who have worked hard ar
disappointed with the result. All o
! us-whatever our allegiance-woul,
, like to have had something differ
ent. The fact, nevertheless, re-
mains that the election is over and
the alibs and excuses of election
can no longer be given. Now it is
up to the banker to make loans; up
to the merchant to buy the goods;
and up to the manufactures to start

"RAINMAKER" IS
ON JOB AGAIN.
SIGNS CONTRACT

HANFORD, Calf, Nov. T.
Rainmaker' Charles NJ. Hatfield,
who has been dormant during the
recent drought in this section, has
again come into the spotlight.
Hatfield has signed & contract
with Kern county stockmen to pro-
duce one and onc-half inches of rain
at four points in the county between
the dates of November 90 and De-
cember 2O.' AS part Of the terri
tory over which Hatfield expects to
hold magic sway comes close to the
boundary Of the defunct Lake Tu-
lare s margins, Kings county grain
growers of the lake section are very
much worked up over the report and
are watching proceedings with in
tense interest.
The four points designated in the
contract are Delano, Maricopa, Bak-
ersfield and the Big Olcese ranch in
Kern county. Hatfield is to receive
from the four districts purse to-
totalling $4,000 if the rain comes as
per agreement.
The meeting last evening at which
the contract was signed, attended
by members of the Kern County
Cattle and Sheep Men s association
and several Kings county farmers,
was held in the offices of Miller and
Lux in Bakersfield Some said the
big firm was also interested " IN
the deal.
Last season Hatfield tried to pro-
duce rain in the Tehachapi in a
part were rain is as scarce as the
proverbial hen IS teeth, and failed.
But the cattle interests said that
was not fair test, hence the new
venture.

Back OF the phrase lies the import
ant fact that tho colonies refused 10

This resulted in series OF events
that worked greater changes In the

L0RMER Secretary of the Navy
il Daniels has issued statement that
the primary object of the naval oil re-
serve investigation should be TO have
these reserves restored TO the navy and
that punishment of the guilty is sec
ondaTy.
We must disagree with him when he
says that punishment of the guilty is of
secondary Importance. II is important
that the oil lands be recovered for the
navy. yes. II is equally important that
the pumping of the navy's oil into the
tanks of Doheny and Sinclair be stopped
instantly. yes.
But of even greater Importance Is il
that every man touched with guilt be
prosecuted criminally and punished to the
full extent of the law.
For n generation the confidence Of the
people in their government has been
growing less and less because of their
recognition Of the fact that all men are
not equal before the law-that there is
one law for the rich and powerful and
another for the poor and powerleSs. AL
ways when laws providing fine and inn
prisonment are invoked against the big
fellows il has come TO be taken as n mat
ter of course that the worst that will
happen is that some or all of the loot will
be recovered, possibly fine imposed
but never does one of the big fellows go
TO jail.
We hear much these days about lack of
