POWER PLANT EARNS

Wiz FFOWE WEEK
the mythical small town Of "Clarks-
vile"
Now, mythical cities do very well
on paper, but the camera REQUIRES
something more substantial. So. af-
ter securing Florida for hundreds
of miles around, the city of OcaIa
was selected, and the entire produc-
ton unit, headed by the star and
Director Victor Herman, came
down from New York and spent
approximately three weeks there
making the exterior scenes.
Although Florida is a favorite To-
cation center for picture companies
working in the east, Ocala, has the
unique distinction of never having
served before as background for
motion picture action. It is a pic
turesque agricultural town, famous
for its orange groves, and served
admirably as a substitute Cor

LONDON, Ohio. Sept. 23.-If the
time ever comes when the people
of this old world are so perfect that
all the reformers will be out of en-
ployment. there is another world
for them to conquer.
The fish realm has failed to keep
pace with the moral progress of
civilization, says George Morcher,
superintendent of Ohio state fish
hatcheries, who for more than %
years has studied all kinds of fish.
AS a result, all kinds of scandal
still exists under the water.
Polyamy is rampant and many
fish delight in being cannibals.
Take the catfish, for instance.
The female often has at least two
husbands.
But polygamy is not confined to
the female. In as as many cases,
the male will have two or more
''wives."
But in nearly all parts of the fish
world it is the male that is the
nurse maid. For after the female
lays the eggs, she starts out on a
gay social life and leaves the cold
man" at home to watch the hatch =
ing process.
The number of fish in American
streams would be much larger if it
were not for the cannibals, says
Morcher. Many fish like to eat all
the baby fish they can find, and for
that reason streams can be stocked
more rapidly through hatcheries
where the rapacious appetites Of the
cannibals can be checked
Only one form of cannibalism is
allowed in the hatcheries. Tiny
goldfish which breed very rapidly
are fed to the young black bass.

It is said that plans are being made
to raise a bonus Of approximate &c.,

Winter Fair ground for an additional
$4,000 with which to build the play
house. Plans are to locate the theater
on the fair grounds it is said
1t is considered probable that the
booking agency plans to split the week
between the theater in the Valley and
one at Corpus Christi, playing four days
in one place and three in the other.
The Interstate has modern theaters
in Houston. Dallas, Ft. Worth and San
Antonio at present, and brings the
highest paid stars of the vaudeville

Irwin arrived here this morning and
Immediately went before the grand jury,

From his report, the grand jury is ex-

from towns located near the farms. Dis
trict Attorney Bob Bassett declared he
wanted the investigation to go into ev-

He mentioned specifically the death of
Alfred Chance on the senior farm, to

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 30.---A
communication asking for amplification
Of certain features Of President Cool
idge's Tacna-Arica arbitration award
probably will be presented to the state
department late today.
After calling attention to reports Of
Chilean atrocities that might affect the
result of the forthcoming plebiscite in
the province, the communication will
suggest that a native constabulary be
organized to replace the present Chilean
garrisons in Tacna-Arica until after the
election.
This will constitute the principal
point to be covered in the representa-
tions, which will be couched in courte-
Gus terms, calculated to give no ofrense
to the American government or reflect
on the integrity of President Coolidge
as arbitrator.
Something of sensation has devel-
oped over the note before hand because
fthe publication of erroneous reports
that it already had been delivered to the
state department secretly and that it
was couched in language sof unusual
sharpness.
There was a feeling of relief today

the Lima government and that the pub
lished forecast of the terms of the com
munication was not authorized by the

Weeks Approves Order
of Transfer to Become

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 30.--
Brigadier General William Mitchell. as
sistant chief of the army air service,
vice officer Of the eight corps area with
headquarters at Fort Sam Houston, San
Antonio, Texas.
Secretary Weeks approved today the
orders for General Mitchefl's transfer.
effective upon the expiration of his
present tour of duty. The war secretary
said the assignment had baen made
for two reasons; the eighth corps area
has greater air service activities than
any other area and General Mitchell has
seniority of service. Upon assuming his
new duties, General Mitchell's rank will
revert to that of colonel.
General Mitchell will be assigned to
the staff Of Major General Kinds, COM
manding the eighth corps, which in
cludes Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
Arizona and Colorado, and has jurisdic-
tion over Mexican border patrols.
While General Mitchell is known to
have preferred assignment as aid ser
vice officer attached to the staff Of
Major General Hale, commanding the
sixth corps area with headquarters at
Chicago, he failed to make application
for that post and was given what the
war department regards as the most i'm
portant field place.
Lieutenant Colonel James E. Fechet.
commanding the Kelly Field. Texas. air
station, will succeed General Mitchell as
assistant chief of the air service.
