ID BY W. 3. Hibbs q Co

Santa Claus appeared in person at
the Crandall Ambassador Theater
today. And with him came the
''darlings of the dolls,'' "Flossie
Flirt" and Susie Smiles" in their
premier performance on the stage.
And how the hundreds and hundreds
of little girls and boys did enjoy
the show.
Santa introduced the dolls who
walk and talk, and cry and blink
and wink-in fact do everything that
the best sort of dollie can do. For
these are American dolls, II you
please, brand.new inventions - the
last words in the creation Of doll
personalities.
Santa Claus put on a big act in
which Ellen Young sang "Ain't She
Sweet?" and danced. Helen Goldberg
appeared in classical dances. And
Santa told all the little girls and boys
how they could have 'F'lossie Flirt"
and "Susie Smiles" for their very
own.
And then-you won't believe it.
Santa Claus found that five little
girls had lucky numbers, and five
dollies were presented to five little
girls.

MARKET HOLDS
STRONG

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-Friday's
closing rally in the steel, copper,
utility and speciality stocks was
carried into the short session Of the
stock market today. Little atten.
ton was paid to the $25 200, 900
increase in brokers' loans, as an
ilounced by the Federal Reserve
board, because Of the large volume
OF new bond flotations during the
week and the rise in prices Of rep
resentative stocks.
The 100000, 900 merger of the Re-
public and Trumbull Steel COM
panies was in accordance with ex-
pectations and follows the acquisi-
tion of a large block OF Republic
stock by the Cyrus Eaton interests
of Cleveland. Republic Steel stock
had already discounted the merger
and this stock was inactive and fea-
tureless today.
Firming up Of the steel and cop.
per markets stimulated further buy.
ing of stocks Of the important com.
panies.
The tire and rubber stocks were
active and strong in anticipation
of better business after the turn of
the year.

offerings were absorbed by scale
down trade buying and buying by
local and professional traders.
Higher Liverpool cables were off.
set by further unfavorable reports
from both domestic and foreign
trade centers.
Weekly reviews Of the dry goods
situation revealed that demand for
the finished product during the past
week was the quietest this year.
This was partially attributed to
the holiday in the middle Of the
week and partly to the recent con-
fusing movements In the value Of
the raw product. Consumers ap-
parently are inclined to buy little
until the value Of raw cotton be-
comes more stabilized.

CHILDERS URGES
LETTER WRITING
BY VALLEY FOLKS
Points Out Importance
of Interesting Congress
at This Time.

"It seems quite impossible to
make even strong supporters of the
Swing johnson bill realize the ne
cessity of letter writing cam
paign such as we have been advo-
eating for several months past, y
was the statement made today by
Attorney Charles L. Childers, of the
Imperial Irrigation District.
While was at Washington,
Just before Christmas, we talked
over the chances Of the bill going
through at this session. Congress
men Swing, Senator Johnson, Chair
man Smith of the irrigation and
reclamation committee. and other
men who are working for the bill
declared emphaticallv that a letter
writing campaign to interest other
senators and congressman in the
bill was one of the best means for
assuring its passage. Childers said.
"Since nv return herc,' he con
tinued, q have preached the neces-
sitv of letter writing. Several times
| have stopped on the street men
whom know are staunch support
crs of the bill and have asked
them if they have written any let
ters. In the majority of cases | re-
ccived a negative answer.
This condition is to be regret
ted and | hope something will wake
up the people of the valley so they
will realize that the bill must pass
at this session. or else go back into
the discard, with all our work of
wears past to be done over again.
True it is that one letter will not
help much, but if every person in
this valley. who knows Il congress
man or who knows some person
who is acquainted with Il congress
man. would write a letter, enlisting
aid for the valley. it would mean
an avalanche of letters upon con
gressmen in Washington just at the
psychological time to aid the bill. y
District Asking Help
The Imperial Irrigation District
is sending out a circular letter to
all taxpayers. urging them to write
letters to influential friends, and to
do it Immediately. In this way it
is hoped to get the letter writing
campaign under way at once.
~ hope business men and every
one else throughout the valley, will
lend their assistance in this matter,
Childers said. ct is vital to the
welfare Of the bill, and therefore
vital to the welfare of the valley
and the individuals in it. / ask
the readers of the Press if they will
please sit down as soon as they see
this appeal, and write at least one
letter in behalf of the bill. We
cannot afford to fall down in our
support now, and it is more import
ant than ever before, for each IN
dividual to do his share.

poration, holding company Of the
great Bank of Italy interests, was
announced simultaneously last

son, vice president of the Southern
Trust in charge of the valley
branches. consolidation of the
Bank of Italy and Southern Trust
establishments Of this city IS prob
able. However. Watson states, no
definite plans have been perfected
IS yet.
The announcemtnt that the con
troi of the Southern Trust and Com
merce 'bank has passed to the Ban
citaly corporation is considered one
of the most important ever made IN
the history of Southern California
banking. The Southern Trust, with
its parent office in San Diego, and
its 10 branches. two of which are
located in this city and Brawlev. is
the largest bank in Southern Cali,

In speaking of the change this
morning, Mr.. Watson issued the fol
lowing statements: 4" desire, in be-
half of the valley branches, to eX-
press to the citizenship of the val

the Southern Trust and Commerce
Bank in the past will be the policy
of the future.

ture patrons of the Bank of Italy

made by Leroy Holt. vice president
of the Bank of Italy in charge of
the FL Centre bank when asked to-
day what the merger would mean.
The Bank Of Italy at present has
no branch in the valley outside of

Brawlev bank will naturally be a
material aid in extending the medi-
um of service. Mr.. Holt states.
