Much Comedy In
Peach O. Reno

Laughs galore are in store for
those who see Wheeler and Wool
sey. famous screen comedians in
Peach O Reno, their latest re-
lease, which will be shown fer the
last times tonight at Fox Imper-
ial theatre.
AS two Reno lawyers who are
out for the money in any way they
can obtain it, the comedians man
age to get themselves into many
humorous predicaments when love
begins to interfere with business.
Romance is woven into the COM
edy, though not in the usual heavy
way and the efforts Of the lawyers
to retain their sWeetheartS and at
the same time divorce their par
ents. borders on the ludicrous.
Wheeler has an exceptional op-
portunity 10 show his skill as a
female impersonator and makes the
most Of it.
There is an unusually strong sup
porting cast including number OF
screen and stage comedians with
este blshed regulations.

ROTARLANS HEAR
SPLENDID TALK
BY BUSINESSMAN


Closer attention to production
and production costs was given as
an effective means of betterinR
the present condition of the coun-
try and preventing future periods
of depression in an excellent talk
on business conditions given at the
meeting of the Rotary club yester-
Gay by H. II. Chambers, western
division sales manager for the
Caterpillar Tractor company.
Discussing various suggestions
given by business leaders to i'm
prove conditions, Chambers con-
demned the idea of substituting
manual labor for machinery as a
means for bringing about this i'm
provemeMt.
One can imagine what would
happen if this suggestion were
really taken seriously in all lines,
Chambers said. If the suggestion
to do away with farm machinery
and substitute hand labor is good,
then 1t should bo carried into all
lines Of business so that banks
would Go their accounting without
the use Of machinery, offices would
handle their correspondence with
pen and ink and transportation
would be by horses and wagons or
the old time yoke oxen, instead
Of our modern methods.
THE chaos resulting from such
a procedure can easily be imagined.
Substituting manual labor for ma
chinery is not the solution to the
problem"
Oyer-production and reckless
spending of money with no attempt
10 keep production costs within the
bonds of reason, were cited by the
speaker as reasons for the collapse
OF 1929. 1t was inevitable, he said,
that the crash should eventually
arrive.
Previous depressions were pri-
marily caused by the same reason
and in each case the country re-
covered. 1t will recover from this
one, Chambers declared, but should
learn its lesson this time and take
the steps necessary to prevent a
recurrence.
Mrs. Ada DeNyse, state trustee
for the southern district of the
federation of women's clubs, talked
on womans place in the political
and commercial spheres. asserting
that they do not wish to supplant
the men but seek to cooperate
with them. ClubWomen are op-
posed TO war and are for the strict
enforcement of the Eighteenth
amendment, the Volstead act and
the Wright act, she declared.
Entertainment at the meeting wac
provided by Joe Hallowell of I'M
perial, who contributed two solos,
accompanied on the piano by Miss
Foster.

ACCUSED TAKES
MATTERS INTO
HIS OWN HANDS

Judge. attorneys and jurors in
Judge I. Mayfield's justice court
late Yesterday afternoon were con-
tributing parties to one of those
rhenomenally swift developments
which make any court room a pos
sible setting for human drama.
1t was after a jury which had
tried Calletano Gonzales on a
charge of sale of liquor had re-
ported itself unable to agree that
Gonzales, through his attorney, in
formed the court he wished to
plead guilty. 1t was later dis
covered the jury hung II to l for
acquittal.
Gonzales entered the plea OF
guilty and was sentenced to 80
days in the county Jail. He was
credited, however, with 90 days
he already has served while await
ing trial, and was given one day
off because of good behavior. With
the 30-day sentence disposed OF,
Gonzales was freed.
r. I. French, deputy district at
lOLIlGy, ldlCT pSII4lCO Oul llldC Liz
plea Of guilty is a matter OF rec
ord, and may be used against Con
zales in case of another arrest on
the same charge. j. E. Simpson
defended Gonzales.
The Mexican was arrested during
the course OF federal prohibition
raids in Imperial Valley last
month.
The same performance, on a
lesser scale, was repeated this morn
ing after Constable Ray Poole had
searched the highways and byWays
for a jury panel of u women and
nine men TO try Juan Rodriguez on
a charge of sale OF liquor.
Rodriguez. however, did not wait
until the jury had been elected, but
informed his attorney, Simpson, he
wished to change his plea from
not guilty to guilty.
The plea was changed and Rodri-
guez was sentenced to 80 days in
Jail. Considering the fact that the
defendant already had served 80
days while awaiting trial, Judge
Mayfield ordered him released.
The jurors were dismissed.

GAS ADJUSTER'S
WORK PRAISED
BY HOUSEWIVES

Today The Press received several
protests from Fl Centre housewives,
relative to the gas racketeer" ar
ticle in last nights issue. indicat-
'ng that there is q wide difference
of opinion regarding the activities
of the party referred to in the ar
ticle.
The Press has no wish to be un-
fair to anyone, and if the individ-
ual is as good as the protesting
housewives assert, he undoubted-
" IS entitled to pursue his work.
One housewife who refused to
identify herself, except to state
that she is a long time resident
of the city and a taxpayer, declared
that the party at no time repre-
sented himself as connected with
the local gas company She as
serted he examined her gas appli-
anceS and told her he believed he
could improve their work. He did
so to her satisfaction and she de-
clared she was glad to pay him the
So he asked, for she is getting bet
ter service from her gas than for
merly.
Another protester bluntly de-
clared that the man had been able
to give her better gas service where
of the company had
been unable to do so.
Manager R. L. Hayden. of the gas
insists that his men are
fully capable of making necessary
adjustments, with no charge for
loing the service.
The article in The Press was
published in good faith on infcr-
nation given by the chamber OF
commerce. If housewives are sat
sfied with the mans work and are
willing to pay him for it. there is
no cause to register
complaint against him for they,
after all. are the ones to be salts

He suggested the board call the

At this point Rose said the peo-

could operate with one half its
present employees.
II have heard several times" said
Rose, that there was an agreement
between bankers not to loan farm

due to that agreement. II neceS-

When the 25 per cent per acre
