Devils Lottery
Is Current PIay

Straight drama, always a well
come relief from other varieties of
entertainment, is the offering at
Fox Imperial theatre tonight and
Thursday night when Devils Lot
terry" based on the novel by Nal
bro BARLEY, will be presented.
Heading an all star cast is ELISA
Landi, famous European actress
whose success in American films
has been phenomenal. Others who
have major parts in the film are
Victor McLaglen, Alexander Kirk
land, Paul Cavanagh, Beryl Mercer
and Barbara Weeks.
Devils Lottery" is based on the
incidents in a weekend party at
the home of an English lord, VINO
invites the winners of a Calcutta
sweepstakes to his home, to see
what effect sudden wealth has on
inexperienced people.
His guests include scarlet wo-
man, prize fighter, war veteran
and other nondescripts.
Romance, adventure, shame and
tragedy are also present, with the
plotting twisting and turning from
the sublime to the sordid as the
story is revealed.
Action of the play is fast and
there are no dull moments nor any
depressing ones, those that are
somewhat stringent being relieved
by comedy which turks in the back
ground.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright, 1928, BY Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

his pink nose, only this time he
did it upside down.
Jackie lay down on the ground
and, holding one bone between his
paws, he began to gnaW it and
break off little pieces, which he
swallowed. For dogs are different
from us. We can't eat bones, but
dogs can, and it's a good thing,
else there would be SO many bones
in the world that they would get
in the way of automobiles.
So Jackie gnawed one of the
bones while the other lay on the
grass near him. 1t did not take
! the puppy long to eat the bone
, and then he cleaned his face by
I licking it with his red tongue for
napkin and after stretching and
yawning he said:
Nov I'll hide my other bone
until tomorrow"
"All right said Uncle Wiggily
Then, slowly, the rabbit gentleman
took from his pocket two lollypops.
Count them-tWo. One of the
lollypops Uncle Wiggily began
slowly to eat. The other he put
on the log beside him and said:
"Ill eat this one lollypop now and
the other I'll hide for tomorrow.
I am not hungry enough to eat
two lollypops at once, SO I'll hide
one.
Jackie looked hungrily at the
lollypop on the log. 1t was
chocolate one and the little puppy
was especially fond of chocolate
lollypops. But Uncle Wiggily never
said a word He just sat there on
the log, nibbling and sucking his
own orange lollypop, while the eX-
ira one lay on the log beside him.
Jackie licked his teeth with his
tongue. Though he had had plenty
to eat from that one bone, still a
bit of something sweet, like a lolly-
pop, would taste very good.
All of a sudden the little puppy
dog went to where he had hidden
the second bone. He dug it UP
and said:
Goodbye, Uncle Wiggily!"
"Where are you going?" asked
the rabbit gentleman.
I'm going to take this other
bone to my brother, Peetie,"
bravely barked Jackie. "Good-bye!"
"Here!" called Uncle Wiggily as
Jackie started away. Come back!
Take this other lollypop. And here
is an extra one for Peetie to eat
after he gnaws the bone you are
going to give him
Then Jackie laughed and Uncle
Wiggily laughed and so did Peetie
when he saw his bone and lolly-
pop. And now if the sugar bowl
will put some talcum powder on
the licorice drops to make them
look like marshmallows, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
Peetie Bow Wow.

CHARTER ELECTION COMING


DATE for the election of Is freehold
~ ers, to form a charter government
for Imperial county, has been called by
the supervisors for July l.
Within the next week it is planned to
call county wide convention to nomi-
nate the ID freeholders and between the
time they are selected and the date OF
election, 1t is proposed to gather all the
information the freeholders will need to
draw up a suitable charter within 90
days from the election as required by
the law
1t is also planned between now and the
date Of election, to give full information
on the purposes and advantages of a
charter form of government to the vot-
ers of Imperial Valley SO that they may
know just what it is they are asked to
do on election day.
There is nothing difficult or elaborate
about charter form of government. Its
worthlneSs has been tested and proven
in other counties of California and those
who are sponsoring such form of gov
ernment here, firmly believe that it will
bring about what Imperial Valley badly
needs-efficiency and economy in the ad-
ministration of its public affairs.
To the taxpayer who may grumble at
the cost of having another election, it
can be stated that the county clerk ad-
vises that the election can be held at very
little cost, due to the consolidation of
districts, and in fact more cheaply than
If the charter proposition had been sub
mitted to them at yesterdays election.
There is nothing secretive on the part
of those who favor the charter form of
government in their efforts to obtain it
for this county. They are men and wo-
men who have no axe to grind, are not
aligned with any political faction or
clique and seek only to remedy the arch
aic and cumbersome form of county gov
ernment which now exists.
They are willing to place the charter
proposition frankly before the electorate,
based solely on its merits and they are
willing to abide by the decision of the
voters
No attempt is being made to rail
road" on the people, something that they
may not want.
1t is not tooearly to point out to those
who believe in a charter form of govern
ment, that their whole-hearted support
will be necessary if the project is to sue
ceed. For those freeholders who are
chosen, election will mean plenty of
work during the summer months, and
they must be ready to accept this civic
duty even though it may mean some per-
sonal sacrifice and discomfort.
The sponsors of the charter who repre-
sent committees named by two grand
juries, the Taxpayers League and the
newspaper publishers of Imperial Val
ley appeal to all citizens of the county
who believe they are entitled to better
form of government, to lend their inter-

URGES USE OF
MEN AND MULES
ON CANAL WORK

P. MacDonneil, secretary of the
Imperial-Coachella canal progress
committee, has just returned to his
office, following a three weeks alb
sence, during which he has been
furthering the cause of the COM
mittee.
MacDonneil reports several con-
ferences with civil engineers of
high repute, who have been con-
suited relative to the feasibility
and economy of constructing the
All-American canal with the aid
of men, horses and mules, and
states that reports are being COM
piled for presentation to the sec
fetary of the interior in support
of arguments in favor of an eco
nomic relief for Imperial and Goa
chella valleys by means of letting
the contract, or contracts, on the
All-American canal in series of
units, embodying therein specifica-
tions calling for the use of men,
horses and mules, whenever prac-
tical, in preference to especially
constructed machinery.
Among the engineers expressing
their approval of the plan is
Charles C. Frisbee of Los Angeles.
Frisbee was the first engineer to
make a survey of the route of the
All-American canal, and it was
largely due to his work that much
of the early progress was made.
MacDonneil states that F'risbee
wishes to be quoted as saying:
Just about the biggest thing I'M
perial Valley can do at the present
time is to get the All-American
canal actually under construction
and get as many men, horses and
mules to work as soon as possible,
in numbers that will insure the
prosperous condition that has made
Imperial Valley famous"
