Mr.. Fixit-There is a dog and 6
radio at South Holmes avenue thai
almost drives me crazy. The radio
is turned on at nights as loud as il
can be and runs until the station:
sign off around midnight or after
then is turned on a little after
a. m. very loud. Then, about OF
$50 the dog starts barking. This
goes on nearly all day. I'm nearly
a wreck. MRS. A.

Mr.. Fixit-Will you please see
what can be done about these ice
peddlers holler:ng ice, ice, ice all
day long and every day including
Sunday, as early as $50 a. m. and
until dark. There will be as high
as three or four at a time. It is
certainly very annoying.
MRS. w.
While there is little that can be done
TO remedy this condition, your COM
plant has been forwarded to Police
Chief Michael Morrissey with a request
for Investigation.
Mr.. Fixit-Durirg the late after
noon and early evening children
congregate at the corner of East
Twenty-second and Station streets
and play and run scooters up and
down the street. The majority OF
the scooters have no tires and make
terrible noise and the children
scream at the top of their voices,
You would think at times some of
them were being murdered. 1t is
no pleasure to try to sit on a front
porch on account of the noise.
ANNOYED NEIGHBOR.
Police Chief Michael MOrrisscy has
plant.
Mr.. FiXit-There is a bad swell
or ridge running almost entirely
across the street in front of 31O6
Graceland avenue, and trucks
striking this make a continual noise
H. H. H.
Investigation of this condition has
been ordered by City Engineer A. H.
Moore.
Mr.. FiXit-We thank you very
much for taking our alley situation
up with the proper authorities, but
we are not satisfied at all, as the
workmen didn't do as they should.
They put cinders in and broken
bricks on top and not enough
cinders, as the alley is very soft.
Please see what you can do.
NJ. A., D. G. and H. H.
Street Commissioner w. II. Winship
has ordered more cinders placed on
the alley.
Mr.. Fixit-Please see if you can
get some cinders for the alley be-
tween Healing and Ewing, 600
block.
Street Commissioner w. H. Winship
has ordered cinders placed in this alley.
Mr.. Fixit-I wish we could have
the alley fixed in the rear of 2445
North Delaware street. The bricks
have settled badly and a large lake
stands after every rain.
City Engineer A. Fl. Moore has ordered
investigation of this alley.
Mr.. Fixit-Would you see if you
can stop store from throw
ing garbage out in the vacant lot
They throw old tomatoes and every
thing over there. 1t really is not
pleasant to live by. MRS. M.
A special inspector of the health board
reports his orders to clean up this site
have been complied with.

THE HAPPY ENDING
W. c. COSTELLO
Manager

AS the dancing electric shadows wrote
"A THE End, an audible sigh Of dis
appointment went up from the packed
audience, psalm over the bier of an I'M
happy ending.
Crowding upon one anothers heels in
the unending hurry to leave what is end
ed, more than three-fourths of the peo-
pie who saw that picture were disap-
pointed, and voiced their disappoint-
ment in the sentiment it was really a
good picture, but the end was all wrong.
The picture was hardly a story. It
was only glimpse of one side of life
and that side few people ever come in
to close contact with. They read every
day of such happenings, but in cold print
the thing is unreal something that
happened to some inanimate objects Civ
en- human names and addresses in the
newspaper account The thing that
really disappointed people was the pic
ture ended just as it would have ended
in life.
People want the happy ending in their
stories and pictures. knee-deep in life
that goes on to one sure end, they yet
demand in their entertainment the end
that sees the unjust punished and the
Just rewarded, with every little trouble
some detail ironed out and future as
rosy as we all paint it now and then
showing in sharp perspective on cloud
less horizon.
They demand a rose-tinted sequence
taken from glorified life, with the brakes
applied at some point where delirious
happiness mends all troubles. Perhaps
because the happy ending is so fleeing,
and not an ending at all, in their own
lives, but merely prelude to other lit
tie troubles and trials with another end
ing maybe not so happy, they wish not
to peer too closely into the future but
accept the END flashed by electric cur
rent onto a white screen for them.
1t might be, and probably is, they are
right; for there must be rule to meas
ure everything and the rule for the happy
ending is its popularity.

, that out recently when he was dying.
For 70 years he had carried the knowl-
edge with him that he had killed a man.
And for 26 years he had let the world
think that another man was guilty of the
murder. He had silently let the other
man, Jesse Lucas of Mt. Carmel. H..
enter the Illinois state penitentary %
years ago to serve a life term.
But the other day Pond realized that
the game was up. The ghost that had
followed him over his fields for more
than score of years had cornered him
at last Perhaps the fact that he him.
self could no longer suffer through an
other mans freedom had something to
do with his confession. Not much,
though. Twenty-siX years of cruelty
could hardly result in final show of
consideration. Men die as they have
lived.
And George Pond was coward He
was afraid to die with his secret, so he
told it, hoping that some omnipotent
power would count it a pleasure to give
him ring-side seat in celestial king
dom.
Ponds death-bed confession which re-
veals pitiful miscarriage of justice,
brings condemnation on one man while
it lets loose a generous flood of Sympa-
thy for another. There is no need to
dwell on the fact that the state wrong
fully took away the best years of his life
from Jesse Lucas. There is nothing to
be gained in upbraiding the machinery
of justice. 1t functioned according to its
best judgment, and would not purposely
have rendered such a decision.
Undoubtedly the man who went to
prison has been happier during the years
than the one who let him stay there.
George Pond had to face the fear of dis
covery every minute. He had to live with
his conscience. There is no need to wish
that he had gone to prison. He filled
life sentence.
Jesse Lucas, the wronged man, robbed
of freedom and happiness and branded
with prison stigma has been victim of
an injustice that can never be properly
atoned. The story of his wrong has. Civ
en- him hold on the nations sympathy.
Action to free him was started immedi-
ately after confession.
This tragic error should make those
who operate the machinery of the law
exceedingly careful that such grave
mistake is not made again.

Street Scene
Is Picture OF
Tenement Life

Street Scene" a cross-section of
life in the tenements of a big city,
drew a capacity crowd to the Fox
Imperial theater last night, and is
expected to hold its popularity
Though tonight's run.
Directed by the man who made
Big Parade King Vidor, and
sponsored by Samuel Goldwyn,
Street Scene is bound to take its
place as one of the greatest, if not
the greatest, pictures of the year.
The screen version of Street
Scene" features Sylvia Sidney,
William Collier Jr., and Estelle
Taylor, and brings most of the
original stage cast to the screen in
one of the most remarkable group
characterizations seen in many
months.
The picture portrays on the
screen domestic difficulties encoun-
tered in the crowded life of a New
York tenement, complicated by the
unending gossip of prying neighbors.
Through the entire story runs the
bright thread of the love of boy
and girl who eventually become in
volved in a tragedy common to city
life.

WESTERN STATES LOOK TO
VALLEY FOR STOCK FEED

Judging from the number of let
ters from stockmen in the western
states which are being received at
the Ell Centre chamber, inquiring
about green feed for the coming
winter, many persons will take adj
vantage of this loan.
1t has been estimated that
through the feeding of cattle
and sheep in Imperial Valley
millions of dollars will be
brought into this community
during the fall and winter,
which under present low prices
for hay would not be available.
According to the department OF
agriculture reports indicate that
apparently successful negotiations
are proceeding in Reno for drought
freight rates to bring cattle and
sheep into the Imperial Valley from
Nevada for feeding and various re-
ports indicate that 1t is generally
expected that sufficient number
of cattle and sheep will be brought
into Imperial Valley to consume
most of the fall and winter feed
and practically all of the low grade
hay.
The feeding of stock in the val
ley stated Hays, will do much
for the prosperity of this COM
munity and will benefit the alfal-
ia growers to the extent that we
will not have to fear a general de-
preston during the coming winter.
Not only will our green feed be
marketed this year but it will set
a precedent for years to come on
the logic of feeding stock in Imper-
ial Valley for the Los Angeles
market and turn this community
into one Of the largest winter
feeder sections of the west" Hays
is planning to leave Ell Centre next
week for a vacation to Lake Ia
hoe and intends to visit sections of
Nevada and possibly Utah to con-
tact cattlemen who have feeders to
ship to Imperial County.

Puts Out Fire,
Calls Firemen

H. w. Hutchinson, 135 North I'm
perial avenue, had fire in the
chimney of his house yesterday, so
he put it out and then called the
fire department.
Fire. or at least the smoke from
fire. is not unusual in chimneys, but
this in Hutchinson's chimney took
on such proportions he decided 1t
was a real conflagration. Not hav-
ing time to call the fire department
first, he put the fire out and then
called the department.
Arriving, the firemen found
Hutchinson merely wanted them to
inspect the chimney. which they did
They found it rather damp, but
blazeless. The fire was caused by
an accumulation of SCOT.
