NO FUN ON THE FARM

The most depressing thing about farm life, saws
an observant school superintendent not the fnan-
cial situation but the social situation
1t need not be so bad as it is MANY youth lives
in very Eden without knowing it." Country people,
he declares, do not seem to know how to play Their
greatest poverty is "recreatona poverty fhe ch-
dren lack normal play the young people lack social
contacts and interesting wholesome amusemest There
is no leisure program for the adults
So the country youths he argues, must be taught
nature and appreciation of good literature Social en-
loyments, literary enjoyments outdoor enjoynents,
all within their reach
There IS much truth undoubtedly in this view
1t has not always been Life need not be all labor
surely, even for farmer If the mental and social
horizon can be widened here will be less farm discon-
tent and less drift to the cities.

AMERICAN OPERA SINGERS

The manager Of the Chicago Civic Opera Com
pany his return from Europe the other day. an
nounced that while he abroad he had engaged two
distinguished young singers for the coming season.
This is quite normal thing for an opera manager to
do The unusual feature Of the is the fact that
both the singers Americans.
Chase Barono Skies, known while singing with the
La Scala opera in Milan Cesare Baromeo is nat
i've of Michigan and graduate of the University of
Michigan.
American opera companies have ever-ncreas
ing list OF native singers their rolls. Some, like
Marion Ialley have achieved their first great fame in
their native land Others, like the two booked in Eu-
rope this summer, have been first recognized abroad
and have had several successful on foreign
tages before singing in America
In either case their ability has been we'll proved
and has helped to advance Americas prestige in the
realm OF music. Apparently American soil and eli
mate are not nlnca to the birth of fine voices or to
their artistic development.

Machinery For
New Ford Cars
At Edgar Bros.

Edgar Bros. Company announces
in its advertisement in this issue,
that its Ford shops, located in the
principal towns of the vallev will be
fully equipped with the very latest
approved machinery, designed es-
pecially for the new Ford car.
Such an expenditure before the
new Ford is even officially announc-
ed, seemed to deserve some eXplana-
ton; the company, without critl-
cism, might have delayed purchase
OF this new equipment until few
of the new ears were running on val
lev roads. w. O. Hindcrks, mana
ger of the local store, made the fol-
lowin gstatcment:
"During out % years in business
in Imperial valley we have tried to
give service to those who favored
us with their trade. Whenever we
have introduced a new machine, wc,
at the same time have ordered r".
pairs for il and made preparations
to serve it. When We have discon-
tinued a machine or a line we have
continued to carry repairs and to
give service so that users might not
be inconvenienced.
"When we accepted the agency
for Ford products about 10 years
ago, we learned that the Ford Mo-
tor Company believed in this policy
of service quite as strongly as did
we. Now that the Model Y is with
drawn we are glad indeed to pass
on to local Ford users the assurance
we have from the Ford Motor Com
pany that parts will be available
for at least five years.
"But the new Ford soon to be
displayed in our stores, will use diff
ferent parts; and will require diff
ferent shop equipment in order that
repair and service may be done pro
perly, inexpensively and quickly.
"Again we are pleased to be able
to assure the hundred of valley resi-
dents who are waiting for the new
Ford that we expect to be ready
with parts and equipment to serve
them.
Recently we purchased new ma
chimes and equipment to the value
of thousands of dollars. which we
plan to have installed in our five
shops when the first new Ford goes
on the road.
"We are looking forward to the
best business we have ever eXper-
fenced; and confidently hope to sell
more Fords Of the new model than
we have sold of the model T. Our
good chser is not entirely selfish,
there is a real satisfaction in d..
tributing merchandise which meets
with such universal approval -

4 SERIOUS PRINCE

The new seriousness of the Prince of Wales on his
present Canadian tour has been remarked but per-
maps Its full measure has not been appreciated Here
is description OF his appearance in Toronto at me-
mortal service for Canada's wa dead:
The princes face sad and stern and set with
secret thoughts His mouth grave. his ewes were
brood1g, his forehead marked with two deep fur
rows He stood there almost without moving and there
were no smiles whispers for his brother who stood
beslde MN No one who watched him could fail to
know that this man was IN the grip of deep emotion
with restessness lost in grave and serious and strained
composure He was prince who has not been seen
before"
Verify a new prince! The playboy of the British
empire no longer plays all the time. There are occa-
slons when life is real life is earnest to this bright
tempered lad who has kept his youthful buoyancv up
to the verge of middle age. prince Charming fades
from sight when Prince Thoughtful" is summoned.
1t is natural and it is praiseworthy This sudden
ly groWn-up boy has done much for his country and
mankind, with boyish smile. He can also do much
There are plenty of men who can do heavy think
under crown. There may be more power in sunniness
and romance to lift human burdens from the multi
tude. There is great public service in bearing great
things lightly. Brightness, in high or low place is all
too quickly eXtnguished. There would be no gain in
losing happy prince for sad king.
Fortunately the British Empire does not seem to
be threatened with that. The Prince has ioked and
whispered and been bored amused at other public
functions preceding and following this memorial serv-
ice. But he knows when dignity and deep emotion
are right and beautiful and he has reached an age to
feel these things sincerely we'll to respect them
conventionally.

Several Petty
Thefts Reported

Thieves have apparently turned
their attention from the ransacking
of homes to the theft of automobile
equipment, four reports having
been fild Mt headquarters during the
last two days OH loss of automobile
tines and tools.
Mrs. English of 635 Olive street
reported that a tire, rim and tube
lad been stolen from her machine.
In the report she said that tools and.
o.her car equipment had been'
strewn about by the thieves.

other articles of clothing had been
taken from his machine while it was
rarkcd in Main street while &. r..

cCiNed, saving that thieves had tax

fast explained I'm. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mud Turtle stopped in for something
to eat and of course we had to put
their food ON dishes. But go on in,
Eoppy will be glad to have you help
him dry the dishes. y
I'm be glad to do it, - said Uncle
Wiggily, and soon he was in the
Pungleump. He heard Boppy singing
away out in the kitchen and when
he reached that room Uncle Wig
g,iv had to laugh. For the little
wooden man. having no arms or legs,
had to wash the dishes like this.
He would bounce up and down on
ihe floor like a ball, until he was
bounding quite high. Then, all of a
sudden he would give a bounce into
the dishpan of water, which one of
the Wogglejig children had made
ready. And as Boppy bounced into
the water he splashed some out on
the dirty dishes which were stacked
IN the sink near the pan.
"What a jolly way to wash dish
esl > cried Uncle Wiggily.
"Isn' t it?' agreed Boppy. ~
thought it up all by myself So he
continued to bounce up and down
from the floor into the pan of soapy
water and out again, spluashing the
plates, cups and saucers until they
were quite clean. Uncle Wiggily
dried the dishes and set them away
IN the cupboard.
Now that my work is done | II
quiet down and talk to YOU, said
Boppy and soon he and Uncle Wig
billy were talking about how soon
winter would come with snow and
ice, when, all of sudden, into the
Eungleump popped the Bob Cat with
bis silly little tail.
"You didn't think ! saw you com"
in here, Uncle Wiggily, but l did
and IN going TO bite you. - snarled
the bad chap. He began sinking
across the room toward the rabbit
when, all of a sudden, Boppy began
tn bounce up and down again as he
had done when washing dishes.
''What's the idea Of that'' new
Imperial Valley press., 1927-09-24

ed the Bob Cat. 81 don't like it,
Keep quiet, while | nibble Uncle
Wiggily's cars,'
"No. I will not keep quiet!
yelled Boppy. "I' m going to give a
great. big bounce and | m going to
come down on top of your head kcr
hJnkol' And the little wooden man
did just that!
Up he bounced-his biggest
bounce, Down he came as hard rs
lo could, whacking the Bob Cat on
the head.
"Oh, Won did it, You did il, Wow,
Whot bnmp!' howlcd the rob Cat.
And out of the Bungleump he ran
as fast as he could 90.
Boppy, you are very clever,
chuckled Mr.. Longears. And CUES ;

CIGARS
Sales of high nriced cigars |

Sales of highpriced cigars have been falling off
IN the last five years, during which time the American
public has been spending plenty of money on other
luxuries. Why so thrifty with tobacco?
There may be no great mystery about it. When
Mr.. Marshall made his immortal statement about the
nations need of good fivecent cigar, there were no
good five-cent cigars. A man had to pay 10 or Is
cents for a good smoke, according to his taste and
purse When he told the blunt truth, lot of smokers
gave up their futile quest for cheap smoke and
signed themselves to paying high price.
But at the same time manufacturers began to see
great hight, and started in to make good fve-cent
cigar and thus widen their market. Some of them i'm
proved the quality of existing cheap cigars. Others
created new brands snokabe than the old, at a
moderate price Others did the rather obvious thing of
making little cigars out of the tobacco as was put
into 10 or Is cent cigars but only about half the SIZE
and selling them for nickel. Naturally smokers are
smoking them. Hence contented and happy
country, as well as more prosperous
Mr.. Marshall should have lived to see this day.

THEATERS

HOnly in rich and unusual
beauty can the screen impress itself'
as a medium distinctive, and take
its rightful place among the other
arts.
so declares George Fitzmauriec,
one of the foremost screen directors
of today, whose theory is borne out
forcefully in his latest First Ma
tional production, Rose of the
Golden West coming to the Air
dome tomorrow and Monday. (
Born in France, and for years an
art student in Paris and Berlin,
titzmauricc possesses an ideal back
ground for motion picture direc-
tor, particularly for director OF
the type of picture with which his
name is always associated.
His scenes of richness and lux
urv have the stamp of authenticity
and reality. His knowledge otJ
painting is to be found in the com
position, grouping and Lighting of
every scene.
In the tar years that he has been
affihated with the film industry,
both as writer md director, he has
been a tircless student of every coz
ceivable effect and novelty in
cinematography. Not single Fitz-
maurice picture has been released
without some striking, original pie
torial effect, some departure from
convention and custom.
Rose of the Golden West is a
beautiful, spectacular production
based on the romantic era when
Spain ruled California. Mary Astor
