In addition to providing n liberal
education by displaying what lmper-
ial Valley produces, the fair will
provide entertainment both night
and day. Horse racing, automobile
racing, horseshoe pitching, flying
exhibitions and free show attrac-
tons will be presented. Carnival
features will be available for those
who enjoy this form of amusement
and a general good time is assured
all who attend.
Each step in the development Of
the fair has been accomplished by
hard work, rather than by talking,
and the fair commission maintained
that attitude as the fair opened.
They were too busy to talk but were
confident that the fair will be the
success they hope it to be.
Rapid Improvement
Only a few months ago, the tract
now occupied by the fair grounds,
was barren waste Today it CON
tains splendid mile track, avail
able for horse and automobile rae
ing; steel and concrete grand
stand, capable of seating $500 peo-
pie; an administration building that
will supply space for permanent
all year round exhibit of Imperial
Valley products, as well as an in
formation bureau and office for the
fair secretary, all fenced in and
equipped for permanent use.
A start has been made on the per
manent structures, which this year
are supplemented by two huge tents
with n capacity of 10000 square feet
of floor space. As the years go on
and the fair becomes moro firmly es-
tablished, more buildings will be es-
tablished until ultimately there will
be little or no necessity for temper
ary buildings.
Back of the fair rs it is presented
to Imperial Valley and the entire
state, is the idea of two men, who
must be credited with being respon-
sible for it more than any others,
and who will probably be consider
ably chagrined to find out that
they are mentioned at all.
The men are Andy Preble, pres
ident of the fair association and
supervisor from Imperial and his
predecessor in the latter office, Ben
Hulse TO them came the idea of

RURAL CITIZENS
MAY REGISTER
AT COUNTY FAIR

Country residents of the valley
will have no excuse for not regis
tering in order to be able to vote.
according to Cal Mousseau, for an
opportunity to do so Will be given
them at the county fair.
According to Mousseau Imperial
county's registration is normally
between 10000 and $4,000, composed
mostly of city voters. The big
problem in obtaining registrations
has been to get larger percentage
from the rural sections.
1t is difficult to do so because
canvassers do not like to work in
the rural sections, the long distances
to be covered in comparison with
the number of names obtained, max
ing the remuneration unusually
small.
Accordingly Mousseau has made
arrangements to have force of reg.
lstration deputies working daily ut
the county fair. While this conven-
lenee is intended primarily for the
rural citizens, it will also afford an
opportunity for city residents to
combine business with pleasure by
attending the fair and "signing up"
so they will be eligible TO vote at
me elections to be held this year.
The booth at the fair viii be op-
Grated in connection with the booth

Under the law, all citizens desir
1ng to vote, must register this year.
PREVIOUS registrations became null
and void ON December 81, 1929.

Gang warfare that flared out here
last night dispensed with all neces-
sity for the government to remove
General Brocola, alleged blackhand
king, under threat of deportation
to Italy. He was killed by fellow
countryman, Ralph Esposto, a re-
cent arrival from Los Angeles.
According to Esposito, who frank
ly admitted the shooting, Brocola
had long terrorized the North Beach
section here by his iron-handed Ma
fla tactics, and had threatened to
destroy Esposito and his family un-
less money was paid to him.
He has bounded me too long, .
Esposito told police. 1T was him
or me and | got him first. Others
who dared not talk before will tell
on him, now that have killed him. -
The slayer charged that Brocola,

ter as Brocola the magnificent, y
had come to a house he was in on
Twenty,third street and demanded
$75. Under preterse of getting the
money, EspOsito Went to his room,
procured a revolver, and Shot the
alleged blackmailer dead.
The dead man was known to have
a police record in Naples, Italy. He
figured with other underworld char
acters, in the investigation here two
years ago following the killing OF
