IS PLANNED FOR
LEGION MEETING

Various sight seeing trips about
the valley are planned for the en-
tertainment of Legionnaires and
Auxiliary members who attend the
fifth area convention here this
weekend. In addition luncheons,
dinners, dances and the like are ar
ranged for the social side of the
conclave.
Round-table discussions, business
meetings and schools of instruction
are planned for the convention with
the rule being that every talk and
address must be brief and to the
point. No papers will be read or
submitted during the entire conven-
ton.
Representative of 90 Legion posts
will be present, the number to reach
several hundred. Since every Le-
gionnaire may have a voice in af-
fairs, there are no delegates.
The event is the largest Legion af-
fair scheduled for the southland
this spring and will be held for two
days, Saturday and Sunday.
Several district officials will be
present and take part in discussions
and talks. Among them will be DR..
r. S. Roberts, area commander.

Kiwanis Golfers
Going Strong

Rotary golfers will have to hump
themselves if they wish to win the
inter-club tournament with the XII
wanians, providing the report of
scores turned in by Kiwanians can
be believed.
There is no intention of casting
reflection upon the yeracity of XII
wanians in general, but golfers are
the same whether they be Kiwan-
ians or not, and often they are quite
reckless wit:l the truth.
From sources which the Press be-
lieves to be reliable, but which it
cannot guarantee to be correct" the
following scores were reported turn
ed in by the Kiwanis players: Two
SO, three 80, one 95 and one SO. That
makes seven scores in an eight man
team and Jack Strobel, the anchor
man of the Kiwanians is not in
cluded. Jack will probably shoot a
45 or better.
The losers are to provide a din
ner for the winning team and un-
less the Rotarians play their best
games, or adopt a loose system of
counting strokes, the Kiwanians are
likely to be guests and not hosts.

BEYNON RETURNS
FROM CONVENTION
OF METROPOLITAN

Guy Beynon, Imperial Valley
manager for the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, returned this
morning from New York, where he
attended the annual convention of
the company's managers, attended by
over 900 men from all parts of the
United States and Canada.
A report submitted by President
Frederick H. Ecker showed that the
company's record for business in
1880 exceeded any previous year and
that the first three months of 1891
were better than the corresponding
months last year.
President Ecker sounded note of
optimism on present business con-
ditions, declaring that the public is
about six months behind in estimat-
ing the true conditions. Recognized
as an authority on national finance,
he expressed full confidence that
the country will work back to an
even better level than before.
Beynon took advantage of the op-
portunity to visit his former home
in Sydney, Nebraska, for the first
time in 81 years. He found land
which was used for grazing when he
lived there, now planted to fall
wheat. Land that formerly sold for
SIPS an acre now brings $75 an
acre.
The California delegation to the
convention was saddened by the
death of Edward Wrinkle, Glendale
manager, who died suddenly of
heart disease while in New York.
Beynon reported excellent wealth
er on both trips across the country.

taking up more room in the eastern
end of the hall. On either side of
the stage will be dressing rooms,
closets and store rooms.

ing, where the entrance is to be,
will be two meeting rooms, situated
on either side of spacious lobby.
