IMPERIAL rALLET's MID-HINTER FAIR

Some five wears ago small group of Brawley men
took few chickens, several buncheS OF vegetables TWO
or three of this and little of that rented vacant
store IN the business section and announced Draw
lev Mid-W inter fair.
few hundred persons saw what the lltte group
has on exhibition. Some thought 1t good ldea' to
show the products Of the valley IN this manner, but
many others hrought it a crazy idea, thereby stamp
it with the hallmark of a worthy undertaking..
Wednesday the descendant Of that mean little talr
five years ago Will open its doors to the public NO
pnched and starved exhibits this time, and no small
store to show them IN.
Instead Of the Brawey fair, it is now the Imperial
Valley Md-Wmter Fair, with exhibitions representing
every line of endeavor in the Garden Spot of Amer
ca requiring of ground to provide the necessary
space.
The fair is truly representative of Imperial Valley
It's board of directors and the men who put 1t over
come from all section of the valley. In the past two
years the fair ha sreached plane favorable with any
similar exhibit in California, and that statement means
it compares fayorably with any fair IN the Unlteo
States.
And it is unique. In no other place in the country
do folks think OF holding fair at this time OF the year
In majority of sections, snow, ice and cold weather
make any such undertaking impossible. Here 1t
would be practical least in the daytime to have the
exhibits open to the sky. Because of night sessions
however, it is deemed advisable to have them
closed
The Mid-Wnter Fair is big thing for Imperial
Valley. 1t draws visitors from all parts Of the state
many of whom are Just visiting here, sizing up the
various sections OF California with view to future
settlement The fair gives the valley opportunity
to put forward its best foot.
Every resident of the valley man, woman, and child,
should pay at least one visit the fair 1t is edu
cation itself 1t cannot help but give thrill OF
pride in the wonderful possibilities of this valley,
which IS our home
The little group Of men builded better than they
knew. But in that they only follow the example of the
pioneers OF Imperial Valley, who in turn follow
ing in the footsteps of handful of Pilgrims New
England coast, and small band of who were con-
vnced that this country should be ruled by the people
who live in it.
The Imperial Valley Mid Winter fair is establish
ed institution, growing better with each year If for
ether reason than that it offers the people of the
valley object which they forget petty differ
and work unedly it has justified its existence.

THEATERS

An epic tale of surging passion
sweeping from the wide plains of the
Argentine through the fascinating
frivolitics of prc-war Paris into the
blazing turmoil of the German inva-
sion of northern France was un-
folded last night at the Valley thea
trc with Roudolph Valentino and
Alice Terry in the leading roles. 1t
was the triumphant return of THE
-Four Horscmen of the Apocalypse, y
the sl,000,000 Rex Ingram produc-
tion made for Metro Goldwyn,
which has been 4 screen sensation in
New York. Chicago, Boston, Pitts
burgh, Detroit and Los Angeles. The
picture, adapted by June Mathis
from the great novel of Ninccnte
Blasco Ibanez, has itensified the
dramatic force of the original story
and lastn light it held the spectators
breathlessly intent as with swift,
sure strokes it hammered home the
terror and grandeur of the war
and a great deal OF the humor and
lighthcarted gaiety that kept bub-
bling up through the turgid stream
of struggling humanity when the
world was in arms.

infant DAUGHTER OF
FATHER, MRS. HOTOV|TsKY
PASSED AWAY, NOV IS

When Father Dmitri Hootvitzky re-
turned to Belkofsky after spending
several weeks in the states the Joy Of
his return was sadly married by the
news Of the death Of his infant daugh-
ter. The baby took sick early in No
vember, apparently suffering from in
digestion At the same time she be-
gan to cut several teeth. Every eff
fort was exerted by Mrs Hotovitzky
and Miss Richardson, the school teach
er, to alleviate the suffering of the
child, but although she appeared to
rally for a few days a relapse came
on the fifteenth Of November, and she
died early on the morning of the six
teenth. The absence of Father Hoto-
vitzky without his even knowing that
the child was i'll made the blow hard
to bear for Mrs. Hotovitzky and the
surviving children, Andrew. Eugene,
Lydia and Claude. Andrew, who is at
present attending high school in Sc
attic, could not be informed Of the
death of his sister before the return
of Father Hotovitzky. The entire
village Of Belkofsky joined in mourn
ing the bereavement Of the family.
On Tuesday, November 16, the tiny
body was laid to rest in the little
cemetery of Belkofsky after a brief
and simple service in the Greek Or
thodox church. The circumstances
surrounding the death Of the child
made the funeral exceptionally sad.

Always a regular republican, from
"standpatter" times to farm bloc
days, Mckinley directed the admins
tration campaign for the re-nomina-
ton of President William Howard
Taft in 1912 when the Rooseveltians
split the Republican party.
Mckinley issued a statement des-
cribing Roosevelt as an ajax defy
ing the lightning" and denied the
Roosevelt charges of stolen conven-
ton seats. He challenged Roosevelt
to come from his Oyster Bay, N. Y,
home to the storm center, Chicago,
and predicted an unsuccessful bolt
from the Republican party. Roosevelt
accepted the challenge and soon af-
ter his arrival in Chicago, his adher-
ents left the party convention and or
ganized the Progressive or Bull Moose
convention and nominated Roosevelt
for the presidency.
The defeat of both Roosevelt and
Taft by Woodrow Wilson, the demo
cratic nominee, took Mckinley down
to defeat in his home district and he
was out of congress in 1913 and 1914.
He was again elected to the house,
however, and in 1921 was elected to
| the Senate by few thousand votes
the votes of women-over Col. Smith
who finally defeated him in 1926.
Beside owning transportation lines

Party regularity was cardinal
principle with Mckinley. He was a
friend and neighbor Of Uncle Joe"
Cannon, Of Danville, who represent
ed the eighteenth congressional dis
trict, adjoining McKinley's old dis
trict the nineteenth, in the days when
Cannon was known as the "czar' Of
the house of Representatives and in
surgency arose among legislators be-
cause Of party discipline.
Mckinley and an uncle were in the
banking business in Champaign and
branched into the public utilities in
dustry, acquiring traction, electric
light. gas and other interests which
eventually were known as the Nc
Kinley Syndicate. Their chief prop.
critics were the Illinois Traction Sys'
tenn which built the Mckinley bridge
over the Mississippi river at st. Louis,
one of the most costly electric railway
structures in the world.

Mckinley believed that he was the
greatest traveller in the United States.
He had travelled 100000 miles in
twenty-five years-more than a mil
lion miles Of the total in nine years
including thirty trips across the At
lantic, three journeys around the
world, several voyages across the
Pacific ocean and to South America,
dozen trips to Cuba and Panama,
and had visited every country in the
world except Russia and Turkey.
Senator Mckinley was born in
Petersburg, ILL.,, on Sept. 6, 1856, the
son Of a Presbyterian minister. He
worked on the farm and spent two
years at the University of Illinois, of
which he became a trustee in 1902. At
the age Of Is, after he had gone into
the banking and mortgage loan bust
ness with an uncle, he began his pub
lie utilities career by building wa
terworks system in his home city Of
Champaign.
The Senator supported President
Coolidge's Advocacy of, and voted for,
adherence of the United States to the
world court.
