To PLAY HERE
OCTOBER 18TH

The Al G. Barnes show, one of
the worlds largest. will exhibit in
Ell Centre at the old fair grounds
on East Main street on Monday,
October %.
Three special trains are used this
season to transport this great or
gani2ation from city to city. Travel

ering II acres of ground house the
transient city in the daytime. The
circus has its own doctor, lawyer,
dentist. U. S Postman, detectives.
blacksmith, carpenters and, in fact,
every artisan in the average small
city.
The famous Al c.. Barnes men
agerie, declared to be the finest and
most complete travelling zoo in the
world, is a part of the show. Many
new, rare and costly specimens of
the wild animal kingdom have been
gathered from all parts OF the globe.
Tapirs, gnus, Vlaak Varks, lions, IL
gers, camels, dromedaries, zebras,
leopards, panthers, yaks, emus, jag
uars, Glands, seals, and three herds
OF elephants are but part of the
travelling university of natural his
tory.
The wonder spectacle of all time,
the Fiesta of the Rio Grande,'
gorgeous professional fiesta of old
Spain, is used this season as a pre-
lude to the circus proper. More than
1000 men, women, horses, camels
and elephants take part in this ne
yer.to- be forgotten pantomime OF
enchantment. Upwards of $4,000
was expended on the wardrobe. The
mighty audiences which daily greet
the magnificent production are
among the largest that have ever
been drawn together in the history
of the amusement world.
| Performances will be given at 2
and 6 o. m. Doors will be opened an
hour earlier to permit an inspec-
ton of the ZOO or to enjoy a con-
cert of popular and operate music

Hammond was driving his first

Cimino, a veteran of the Pixies
Peak climb, declared he had made
his best recorded time in the Ford

champion of the climb by virtue of
nine victories previously, said the
mark made with the Ford vs. bet
tered all his previous records.
The Pixies Peak climb is the most
difficult event of its kind in Z. S.
sport. The grades average 7per cent,
and at times reach maximum of 10
per cent. This coupled with the high
altitude-the summit is more than
two miles above sea level-the tor
tuous course and many danger spots
make it a strenuous test both for
drivers and cars.

Dillbeck's place.

B. Gibson was out to practice
yesterday for the first time since
the Yuma game. His knee is al
most WE'LL but he will be kept out
of the rough stuff this week, even
so. Also, ne may be shifted from
end to play running guard, which
is easier on the knees, my trans.
Hui proves more surprising every
day. In scrimmage yesterday, he
threw three neat passes, almost
perfect in execution, that had
everybody gasping, or something.
He has already proved his prowess
on defense What do you make of
that, Watson?
Today the squad will scrimmage
again with the Arabs and tomor-
row, they will just scrap among
themselves. Friday is the day of
rest.
Just a little differing around:
Interference showed more speed
yesterday, but individual blocking
is still not to be commended, ex-
actly Gianola looked good
carrying the ball . What a handy
phrase, that D.. 1t covers null
titude but not a multitude Of

Dear Sir.
In answer to your letter of May
10 we wish we could hold out hope
to you OF obtaining employment
upon your arrival in Ell Centro, but
such is not the case.
California, as you know, has at
tracted a great many persons dur
ing the so called depression per-
iod and we have many men wait
ing here for employment. 1t seems
unfair to urge you to come when
the chances of your obtaining
work under the existing agricul-
tural situation are 50 Slight.
We hope, however, that you con-
tinue TO plan for removal to Cali
fornia and that when conditions in
the agricultural field return to
normalcy you will wish TO settle in
FL Centro or Imperial Valley.
The same conditions prevail
Throughout all of California and,
until the agricultural situation and
agricultural prices improve, the
opportunities are not very prom
inent.
Yours very truly,
Robert Hays,
