"The Old Gray Mare, She Amt
What She Used To Be-, is the fav-
orite hymn" of World war veter-
ans, and yesterday about 100 OF
them found out that like the mare
they are not exactly the men they
were in 1917-18
The 100 were out in the desert
building a road, having volunteered
to help construct that portion of
the proposed Imperial Highway ly-
ing in Imperial county where the
proposed road will meet with the
section in San Diego county.
Vets who carried a half-ton pack
ON their backs through the mud
of France, or who swung depth
bombs on the deck of a dancing
sub-chaser, found out that a de-
cade or more or living the "life
of Riley" raises hob with the wind,
the hands and the back.
Did they have a good time? They
cussed the picks and shovels, they
cussed the cactus and the ocotil-
los, and the sand, and the zone
day wonders, those who were cor
porals and sergeants for q day;
and they cussed Bob Hays of the
chamber of commerce, for sug-
gesting the road building plan
whether he did or not: they cussed
the heat and a few more things.
Then they started all over again
and centered all their cussing on

Defer Injunction
In Insurance Case

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9. U.R)-
The district court Of appeal today
ordered a hearing on an order for
the state insurance commissioner
to show cause why he should not
be restrained from interfering IN
the business of the Benjamin
Franklin Bond and Indemnity Cor
poration continued to February IA.
The postponement was a request
of attorneys for both sides for ad-
oitional time in which to prepare
briefs.
The action is one of long series
growing out of revocation of the
company's certificate to do business
in this state, and the charges OF
corporation officials that certain
state employees had demanded and
been refused payment Of a large
sum as the price of its operation
in California.

RAIN the famous stage play
which the late Jeanne Eagels made
one of the greatest sensations of
the theatre world, is the attraction
tonight at United Artists theatre,
with Joan Crawford playing the
leading role made famous by Miss
Eagels.
Telling the story of scarlet wo-
man of the South Seas, Rain" has
been praised by critics everywhere
as a dramatic marvel, and the
honors which Miss Crawford has
won as a dramatic actress, caused
her to be chosen for the famous
role. ....s
Supporting the star is Walter
Huston, equally as famed as a
dramatic actor, and the man who
is known as never having appeared
in a picture which was not Sue
cess artistically and financially.
An innovation in pictures is
the Mickey Mouse colored cartoons,
the famous animal star being
shown for the first time tonight
in his new coat of colors.

1912 the district will annually pro
vide a sinking fund to retire tn,
bonds in 1888. This does not, how
ever, mean that this sinking funC
will accumulate.
District Can Buy Bonds
Whenever $4,000 or more is il
the sinking fund, the district vii
advertise for the purchase of bond:
and will buy in the open market
if the value is less than par II
the value is less than par the dis
trict gets the benefit of the mar
ket, which it cannot do under the
present form of bond. If the bonds
are selling at par or above then
it is provided that the bonds may
be called" in their numerical or
der at par so that in any event
the sinking fund is continuously
used up in retirement of bonds
and the interest is accordingly
stopped.
The plan also calls for a sub
Stantial reduction in interest over
the next few years both on the
bonds and registered warrants.
The 1888 interest will be reduced
so per cent and no assessment
will be levied for that years in
terest but the interest will be paid
only from funds obtained from
redemption of assessments hereto
fore levied, and contingent cou-
pons, to that effect, will be at
tached to the new bonds. The in
terest for 1884 will be reduced so
per cent; the interest for 1895
will be reduced 40 per cent; for
1886 the interest will be reduced
20 per cent, and the interest will
come back to normal in 1897.
The district has outstanding
about S85o.000 worth of registered
warrants. The full payment of
these registered warrants is de-
ferred until 1912. A certain portion
of the funds derived from redemp-
tons will be applied against reg
istered warrants and the balance
remaining unpaid will be paid out
of a sinking fund for that purpose,
beginning in 1888, and to be COM
pleted in 1912, as We have indi-
Gated. The same interest reduc-
tions apply to the registered war
rants that apply to the bonds and
as a result of this reduction on
bonds and warrants the district
will actually save in interest ap-
proximately S1,450,000.
Prevents Collapse
While the bondholder actually
forgives a considerable portion OF
his interest over the next few
years, and sets back his maturi-
ties, the plan is advantageous to
him in that it prevents possible
collapse and protects the integrity
of his bond. The plan is advan-
tageous to the district in that it
poStpoueS maturities, constitutes an
actual saving in interest and con-
verts the bonds into sinking fund
bonds with the possibility that a
very material saving may take
place in principal amount through
the purchase of bonds in the open
market under par.
The plan has been approved by
the board and by a number of
local organizations including the
farm bureau and chambers of
commerce. 1t also has the approx
al of the bondholders committee
and the California Districts Secur-
tiles Commission.
The first step toward the con-
summation of the plan is the ap-
proval by the district at the elec-
ton on the 18th. 1t is important
always to remember that no addi-
tional obligation of any kind is be-
ing created.
