FIREWORKS TO
FEATURE VETS
BIG PROGRAM

The Armistice day celebration at
the county fair grounds bids fair to
be one of unusual interest, featur-
ing a gigantic night fireworks dis
play.
Theer are seven massive set pieces
which consist of a constellation of
jewels; flaming octopus; musical
shower wheel; Niagara Falls; Par
isian Merry Widow, which is a pyro-
technic innovation depicting beauty
and gaiety in abundance; and the
American Flag, which is six feet by
six feet in actual size. The Niagara
Falls set piece is 80 feet in length;
this solid mass Of incandescent white
light produces over 100000 candle
power. 1t appears to fall over the
brink and rebound in a mist of white
vapor. There are in addition to these
set pieces, A other numbers, includ-
ing flights of rockets, special arena
numbers and shell numbers, which
will make the evenings entertain
ment more than unusually interest
ing.
D. V. Stewart, chairman of the
Armistice day committee, has large
force of men at work, making the
frames for these displays. The pro-
gram starts at 6 p. m, with the pa
rade in the fair grounds and ends
with the dance in the main eXhi-
bit building. Entrance to the fair
grounds is free.

Directory Ruined
By Strong Man

The Press obtained a new copy
of the Los Angeles telephone di-
rectory today, one of the new 1888
models replacing the old 1881 var
iety which has done service in the
office for the past two years.
Manager Kliegel graciously sup
piled the new one, after he was
informed what happened to the
old one. The latter was thick and
/ tough, but not too thick or tough
for Sarge Cole, formerly Of the
Canadian Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, and a visitor to the office, who
grabbed up the old one and tore
it in two before any one could stop
him assuming that they could.
Cole completely ruined the direc-
tory and was ready to start in on
a couple of old Press files, whep
the office cat threatened to SOCK
him with babbit hammer.
Cole was sent over to pay call
by Roy Womack, local Chevrolet
dealer, and if the telephone man
ager can be bribed to keep quiet
about the cost of the directory, an
effort will be made to collect from
the Chevrolet dealer.

Declaring confidence in a MAORI
ty of the board of directors of the
Imperial Irrigation District to seek
the best method of constructing
the All-American canal, directors
of the Better Government league
have passed the following reSolu-
ton:
Whereas: After years of effort
and enormous expense, the people
of Imperial Valley are to have con-
structed the All-American canal.
and although the federal govern
ment has the authority to construct
it under any procedure, they feel
is to the best interests of the gov
ernment, the fact remains that the
taxpayers of Imperial Valley are
pledged to repay the cost.
Therefor it is proper that the
people of Imperial Valley should
have Representatives sitting with
the authorities of the federal gov
ernment when questions of policy
regarding the method to be used
in its construction are being con-
sidered
And whereas We firmly believe
that the board of directors of the
Imperial Irrigation District is in a
position to best judge the proceed
ure to be used, by reason of data
respecting this character of work
they have at hand and are familiar
with.

PLEDGES AID
TOPRES|DENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. U.P)-
Cooperation OF the American Farm
Bureau Federation was pledged
anew to President Roosevelt today
at a White House conference at
which the agricultural unrest in
the middle west was discussed.
At the conference were Edward
A. o Neal, head of the farm bureau
and DR. Carl E. Ladd of Cornell
university.
''The farm bureau is relying on
the promises of the national ad-
ministration to secure higher prices
for farm crops" O'Neal said.
"The American Farm Bureau
Federation bases the success of its
program on the pledge which Pres
ident Roosevelt has given us rela-
tive to the raising of farm prices;
IF we can't do 1t one way, we will
do it another. Do 1t we will The
agricultural program at Washing
ton is our program and the success
of the whole proposition will de-
pend on the support which farm
erS give in their cooperation to
make it successful"
O'Neal pointed out there were
hopeful ways and hopeless ways OF
settling present farm troubles. He
explained that the farm bureau
believed the hopeful way was to
make the best of the agricultural
act. the farm credit acts, and
similar laws for agriculture.
"As they need amendment,
change them," he advised "but
let us try them out before we be-
come too inpatient
