Wanderer of the Wasteland, !"
one of Zane Grey's greatest stories
and the most popular of all the
books he has given to the American
public, is to be shown at the Palace
Airdome Wednesday and Thursday
nights. 1t is the first full-length
Paramount picture to be produced
completely in color. This is an an
nouncement of significance because
it means that colored photography at
last has been perfected for practical
purposes.
Scenic comparisons are out of
order as the entire production was
photographed on the actual locations
described in the book, the gorgeous
Painted Desert of Arizona and Death
Valley, California.
Jack Holt, in an ideal role, heads
the list of featured players, which
includes Kathlyn Williams, Noah
Beery and Billie Dove.

County Farm Is
Minus Cook Who
Lands In Jail

"You will get the limit" was
the verdict OF Judge G. Markey in
the Calexico police court this morn
ing in the ease of Frank LarioI
who was charged with driving an
automobile while intoxicated. La
rious is or rather was the cook at
the Imperial County Farm.
Last evening after innumelable
libation across the international
boundary line, Larioz returned to the
United STATES feeling a bit cockY
and as if he was the only person
in CaleXico who had any rights. He
endeavored to push several of the
ether cars out of his way but only
succeeding in pushing himself into
Jail.
The amount of the fine was not
learned but will no doubt be rs high
as the law permits. Several auto
mobiles slightly damaged by Larioz
ear. Larioz is still in Jail and Sup
erintendent Frank Weir was scout
ing around town today looking for
new cook.

Very Few Houses
For Rent Now In
Spite Of Summer

Old timers are commenting con
siderably upon the signs of pros
pefity that abound on every hand in
Imperial Valley in general and in
FL Centre in particular. One of
these is the present scarcity of
houses for rent-either furnished or
unfurunished. In former years, it
was an accepted fact that with the
exodus of women and children to
escape the heat large part of the
town was for rent. No so this year,
as representative of the Press
heard a woman complaining in a
q local store recently that she had
secured the town and had been UNI
able TO secure a suitable house.
One local landlord reports that
his four houses are all rented with
the prospect of no vacancies during
the entire summer season, something
he says has never happened before.
This, despite the hot summer sea-
son, speaks volumes for valley ae-
tiyity.
