Paris, Nov 19-(U. P.) - Greta Garbo realized one ambition early to-day when she toured cafes and cabarets of Montmartre and had all the enjoyment of an ordinary tour- list without being recognized.
 Reporters were on the film stars trail, but they failed to catch up with her. Some of the proprietors of all night establishments on "The Hill" who were in on the secret admitted Miss Garbo had been making the rounds, but kept quiet until she had departed.
 The trail was finally lost just before dawn. According to the lat- est reports. Miss Garbo caught an early morning train for the Riviera.

HOG PRODUCTION
IN CALIFORNIA
SHOWS INCREASE

Expansion of hog production in
California in the past year, ac-
cording to figures received at the
FL Centre Chamber of Commerce,
indicates that approximately 300
600 more hogs would be raised in
the state during 1882 than in 1881
These figures, according to George
Bennett, chairman of the dairy
production committee OF the FL
Centro chamber, indicate that the
policy of the local chamber, which
urges increased hog production in
Imperial Valley is a sound one.
Although there is such a great
increase in hog production in the
state, Bennett points out that Cal
ifornia in recent years has been
importing from 100000 to 100000
head of hogs annually, in addition
to large amounts of pork and pork
products which are brought in
from outside states yearly. Even
this increased production, he points
out. viii not nearly supply the de-
mand in our own state. When
one considers that the United
States department of agriculture
has made a survey showing the ma
tional decrease of the pig crop to
be 1877 per cent over the crop of
1880, it may readily be understood
that California can not produce too
many hogs, for when its own sup
ply is produced there will still be
the opportunity of exporting hogs
to other sections of the country
where the raising of hogs has shown
a decline.

national tree-planting project for
the purpose of honoring the men,

EAIR time is approaching rapidly and
L it is not too early for Imperial Val
ley residents to be giving a thought to it.
In this city we note merchants are pre-
pairing for the event by decorating their
stores, for which they deserve commend
alton.
The Imperial County Fair is the peo-
pies own. 1t holds unique place among
fairs because it is held at a time when
no other section of the country can show
such products of the field as are on eX-
hibit there.
1t is a fair of which the people may
we'll be proud. Developing it has been
difficult job, with many drawbacks, but
something is learned each year to make
the next fair better one.
Those directly in charge of producing
the fair are working hard to insure its
success and their efforts alone merit the
cooperation and support of their fellow
citizens.
While we are on the subject we hope
that Ben Hulse and his gang have made
preparations so that last years mistake
will not be repeated. They will have no
difficulty in recalling the miserable
weather that existed during fair week.
A little attention to this matter at
this time may save them plenty of worry.
They might take the matter up with

further by enlisting the aid of Harry
Carr and Chin Cow to make sure that no

The loot was composed of plain

ADIOS, ROMANCE

IF there is any real romance in break
/ ing the law, it seems to have existed
| in the old-time cattle rustler, who dug
! into a herd, picked out the cattle he
wanted. and took his chances on getting
| them to a place where they could be
| marketed.
The rustler was a thief, and no brief
can be held for him, except that he was
willing to take chance or many chances,
to achieve his nefarious purpose.
Modern cattle rustling, as practiced
recently in Imperial Valley, is on the
same plane with sneak-thieving, and
porch climbing.
Instead of going into herd and at
tempting to move part of it on foot, the
modern thief, using an automobile truck,
is content to take calf or two, place
them in the truck, and disappear.
There is about as much romance to it
as there is to the weather beaten side of
a barn door. About as much chance
taking as stealing from blind man.
The youngster who purloins a bit of
fruit from a Stano, or melon from the
farmers field, is taking far more chances
than the modern cattle thief.
We hope those VINO are practicing cat
tie stealing in Imperial Valley will be
caught and dealt with by the law, not
merely because they are breaking the
law, but because they have brought dis
grace upon a stunt that used to call for
real men. AS it is conducted now it
could be handled by a bunch of elderly
spinsters.
