LEGION PLAY IS
GREAT SUCCESS,
FULL OF LAUGHS

Astounding with witty dialogue
and amusing situations "Duley. -.
the sparkling comedy chosen by the
legion players for their annual
dramatic performance, proved an
unqualified success at its opening
presentation at the Palace last
night. While the attendance was
quite good the show merited a far
larger house. All seats ought to
be taken tonight for the repeat per-
formance. The offering is we'll
worth seeing and full of laughs.
Most of the action of the play re.
wolves around the talkative Dulcy,
cleverly portrayed by Marjorie Mac
Murray, whose intentions are per.
fectly all right but whose loquacity
causes endless grief for herself and
all those who come in contact with
her. The first act shows the ami-
able but unfortunate young matron
embroiling all concerned into a.
tangle of trouble of varying kinds;-
the second brings matters to
series of laughter provoking de.
movements. and the third is devot.
ed to Strengthening them all out
The Characterization ar splendid-
ly upheld. Russell Kliegle takes tho
part of Dulcy's husband. Cooper
MacMurray is the brother, disillus.
stoned and ready for the worst. The
part of C. Roger Forbes, one of the
most difficult roles in the comedy,
is taken ly Charles w. Barry, who
does nobly. Evelyn Boman acts
very well as his wife. The ingenue
is admirably portrayed by Miss
"Jimmie" Berlin. Jimmy Greene
acts his part most realistically and
imparts much humor to the scenes.
Edwin Byrne as the ponderous, self
complaceat scenarist makes great
hit. Earl j. Bodine, Joe Reynolds
and Charles Somervill are compe-
tent and convincing in their parts.

sentatiof were the recipients ne

FINNEY SANCUINE
OVER COMPACT ON
COLORADO WATER
Thinks Settlement Will
Be Reached Shortly on
Trouble With Arizona.

HopeA for a settlement Soon of
the difficulties surrounding the pro-
posed development of the Colorado
river was expressed this morning
BY Assemblyman Finney on his re-
turn from the conference at Phoe-
nix, Arizona, between representa-
tives Of California, Nevada and Ari-
zona.
He based his views on two main
factors, which he considers augur
well for the success of the new ne
gotiations. One was the more
friendly feeling evidenced by the
Arizona delegates. The other was
a more tolerant attitude in the de-
liberations toward the Boulder dam
project and the tri-state compact.
The Arizona representatives have
promised to give California and Ne
vada written, statement within the
next eight or ten days which will
outline their position with regard
to the development proposed under
the Swing Johnson bill.

LETTUCE ACREAGE
In VALLEY SHOWS
LARGE INC CREASE

Slightly more than $4,000 acres are
planed to lettuce in Imperial Val
ley, according to a re-checx of the
acreage just completed by Horticul-
tural Commissioner B. A. Harrigan.
Accompanying the announcement
of this acreage today, Commission
er Harrigan issued the call for the
annual meeting of lettuce growers
and shippers, which is always one of
the features which shortly precedes
the beginning of shipments in guam
tity lots.
The meeting will be held at Com
missioner Harrigan's office in the
court house at > o'clock next Sat
urday, instead of one week later as
the commissioner had previously
planned. Standardization and other
problems will be discussed.
Heavy shipments are expected this
season as compared with last year.
The present acreage is about 5000
larger than the previous season. A
larger yield per acre is also antici-
pated due to more favorable wealth
er conditions. Average product ton
per acre is $50 crates, and last wear,
due principally to cold weather, this
was reduced to from rs to 100.
Commissioner Harrigan stated
that he anticipated no damage from
last nights rain.

FORMER GOVERNOR
COMES TO DEFENSE
OF ma FERGUSON
Denounces Att'y-General
and Opposition Party
For Stirring Trouble.

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. I'm a
scathing statement issued here to
day, former Governor James E. Fer.
guson came to the defense of the
administration of his wife, Cover.
nor Miriam A. Ferguson, and de-
clarcd the state has sustained "a
loss Of $1,80O,000 as result Of the
legal gymnastics Of the youthful at
torney general" Dan Moody.
While Moody's investigations
were proceeding, rumors Of an ex-
ira legislative session to investigate
state offices and officers were
heard.
Impeachment has been mentioned
frequently in connection with spe-
cial session talk.
Deception Is Alleged
Ferguson declared:
"For the past few weeks the oppo-
sition to the Ferguson administra
tion have been growing in high glee
over alleged frauds upon the state
by the action Of the highway com,
mission in letting contracts to the
American Road company"
Attorney General Moody is be.
ing proclaimed as the man Of the
hour because it is claimed for him
that he has detected great fraud and
corruption and that lie has saved
the state hundreds Of thousands of
dollars.
"In aid of this propaganda and
campaign, the daily papers Of the
state, largely unfriendly and hating
the present administration, have
sought by misleading and deceptive
headlines and contortion of the
facts, to further fix in the minds
OF the people that an awful and
lasting crime had been committed
and blot had been placed upon the
fair name Of the state. -

trial Stands Well Ar
ranged; Amusements.

With a typical Imperial Vale.
sun shining in q bright blue sky
dotted here and there with grea'
fleecy white clouds, the Imper1a
Valley Mid-Winter fair opened it
gates this morning at 10 O'Clock
after months Of preparation.
At the outset it can be said thai
the fair is all that those who have
worked hard for its success hoped
it wonld be. The exhibits are many
and show to the best advantage the
many lines Of endeavOr followed in
Imperial Valley.
Liberal Education
A walk through the various tents
housing the exhibition is liberal
education in itself. The rancher
and farmer will find many things
that will aid him in tilling the soil;
the city man will see things what
he never knew existed, or if he has
been aware of their existence, see.
ing them again will make him real
ize how much he owes to the ranch
er, the dairyman and those who fol
low other lines o. Farming, for they
after all, are the ones who are re-
sponsible. for the, paces, which I'M
perial,, Valley; holds in the sun as
the Garden Spot of America.''
No official Ceremonies marked
the opening. None We're needed.
The fair has come to hold a place
in the annuai calendar of Imperial
Valley that makes it unnecessary
to open it with a blare Of trum-
pets. IT was opened on time and
that was all there was to it.
Many Things to Sec
Attempting to describe the many
wonderful displays shown at the
fair is task That would be well
nigh impossible, A short trip
through the tents may be taken, to
give readers Of the Press an idea of
the things that are to be seen at the
mid-winter fair.
Entering the main tent, one is
compelled to admire Immediately the
attractive decorations. Large
streamers Of blue and gold bunting
are draped across the tent, with
bunting Of the same hue twined
around the tent po:es.
The automobile show is placed at
the entrance. Here are shown q
variety Of cars that will hold the
attention Of all who come to the
fair, the automobile being as neees-
sary to the average family as food
and clothing. The dealers Of the
valley have done themselves proud
In setting out their most attractive
models. Statesmen are on hand in
plentiful numbers, to explain the
fine points Of their various cars.
Many Industrial Displays
About the sides Of the main tent
are arranged the industrial exhibits,
a bewildering array Of household
and labor saving devices, foodstuffs,
clothing, electrical apparatus, and
novelties.
Beyond the auto show group is
the fruit and vegetable exhibit,

GENEVA, Dec. 2.-"Chils lot
only has not appealed or protested
to the League Of Nations concern
ing the Tacna-Arica Pletiscite but
It - the farthast thing from Chile g
intentions ever to think Of taking
the case before the League" de-
clared Chilean Minister Vaudeville
in an interview with the United
Press today.
A press association, other than
the United Press, had declared that
the memorandum on Tacna-Arica
presented to Sir Eric Drummond,
league secretary, was considered .
protest against General Pershing.
"The document which ! commun-
ieated to Sir Eric Drummond was
purely for his personal informa.
tion and consisted Of memoran-
dun. Il communicated for the same
reasons with the Swiss government
and it was communicated by our
other embassies and legations TO
governments; where they were ac.
credited. ~.t J. "' r~9
f.! "The memorandum WIS intehd-
led solely TO correct misstatemenfs
in the press, some European papers
having gone so far as to announce
that the Plebiscite' was already end
ed The memoEandum does not con-
stitute a protest against General
Pershing, whom we are Loyalty sup.
porting and does not constitute a
protest against Peruvian obstfuc.
tionism.'
