pancy in six weeks.

Firemen's Mascot
Gets All Wet

Apparently deciding there is some
possibility that the life of fire.
man does not offer sufficient adj
venture for a pup of spirit, Smoky
half pint mascot of the fire de-
partment, paid a secret visit to the
Lemons undertaking establishment
recently which came near being
fatal to the dog.
On his way to the morgue Smoky
passed the lily pond with its dozens
of gold fish and decided to become
fisherman. His first attempt to
capture one of the finny tcmpters
caused the mascot to tumble into
the pool. He found he could swim
but could not get out.
He was rescued by none other
than the undertaken himself and
revived without it being necessary
to use the iesuscitator. His ad-
venture did not quell his spirits as
he continues to attack shoe strings
with alarming ferocity.

E!SC0NDIDO WILL
OBSERVE BATTLE
OF SAN PAS0UAL

Escondido, May %. (SpeciaD -
Probably no event in the history of
San Diego county is of more signi-
ficance than the Battle of San Pas
quail valley in December, 1886. 1t
was one of the outstanding events
in the history of this state, for, as
a result of this battle, California was
won by the United States from
Mexico.
Each year Escondido valley, Sit
uated only about five miles from
the famous battle scene. commen-
crates that battle in the presenta-
ton of "Felicita," an outdoor play,
staged in an oak-shaded bowl only
about four miles from where Cen
eral Kearny and his American dra-
goons faced Capt Andres Pico and
his California lancers.
The Battle Of San Pasqual will go
American forces, yet, as a result of
the strength shown by the Amer
ican soldiers, greatly outnumbered
in that battle, the MeXicans learn
ed that they would be no match for
the forces that Uncle Sam might
summon.
Indian legend has it that one of
Kearnys soldiers, named Richard
was found by San Pasqual Indian
girl and was nursed back to health.
Only a few years ago an Indian
squaw by such a name resided at
San Pasqual. She claimed to be
more than 100 years old and, in
talks with pioneers Of this country.
told of the battle of San Pasqual
and of her rescue of an American
soldier.
From these facts DR.. Benjamin F.
Sherman, who has been director OF
the Escondido Community Arts
club, but who is now a resident and
dramatic worker of Eagle Rock, has
woven a beautiful story, founded on
q romance between Felicita and
Richard
'Felicita" will be presented at Es-
condido June 13, IA, 20 and 81, each
performance starting at o'clock.
The play is under the auspices OF
the Escondido Chamber of Com
meree.

TRACING MISSING
PERSONS HELPED
BY POST OFFICE

Assistance in tracing missing rel
atives and friends is one of the
services of the local post office
which is little known to the gen.
eral public although many inquiries
of this type are handed every
month.
On account of the large number
of transients visiting the valley
every season, the bulk of inquiries
mounts high in years time, ac-
cording TO the local postmaster,
and requires effort and patience on
