XMAS SPIRIT
OUTLINED BY
LIONS SPEAKER

Four essentials necessary for the
real experience of Christmas were
outlined for the Lions club Tuesday
by Rev. Devon Ellsworth, vicar of
st. Paul's Episcopal church.
These four essentials are: the
feeling that it is better to give than
receive; the reading of the Bible
story of the Nativity; the singing
of Christmas carols; decorating
names in the Yuletide tradition
The origin of the Christmas GUS
toms and the advent of st. Nicholas
were traced from the earliest times.
M. c. Sullivan entertained the
club with a series of harmonica
solos.
Les Harrington, president, an
nounced that the new name chosen
for the association of San Diego and
Imperial clubs is the San Diego I'M
perial Valley counties council.
Frank Richmond was chairman
of the day.

POWER RATES
CUT ASPLANT
MAKES MONEY

when power rates are reduced
because the distributing plant is
making too much money that is
real news especially when it hap
pened during the depression period" T."
Evan T. HeWes, president of the I'm
perial Irrigation District said Tues
day.
Yet, this is exactly what has hap
pened in SkaneateleS, N. Y, not only
once, but twice, within the past 10
years, according to bulletin ON file
at district headquarters.
This city has had public owner
ship of its utilities for the past "a
years and enjoys better service and
power rates than neighboring towns
and cities which are served by pri-
vate companies.
In spite of the rate reductions
and after the inStallment of a fire
alarm system, additions to the street
lighting layout and also traffic
lights, the profits from the munic-
ipal power plant continued to grow,
the bulletin states. These were ap-
piled toward a reduction Of city
taxes and for several years past,
residents of this city have paid
municipal taxes. The power dis
tributing plant has at present a cash
reserve of over $4,000 and the av-
erage electric bills is less than $3.50
per month according to this bull
letin.
Distribution of all power gener-
ated from the All American Canal,
kept in the hands of residents and
taxpayers of this district will result
in lower rates for electric current
and a surplus from the plant which
will remain right here at home for
our own benefit" Hewes said.

With a carload of milling and
evaporating machinery on the
ground and with delivery of still
and other equipment contracted for
by December 1st, it seems assured
that the San Andres DiStilleries will
be producing tequila before the first
Of the year.
Harry j. Karns, president of the
company, and w. F.. Scott, secre-
tary. purchased on the Pacific coast
during the past week final equip
ment required to complete the plant.
Equipment includes a large mill
for extracting the juice from the
Maguey crowns, having sufficient
capacity to produce at the rate of
one thousand gallons of tequila per
day. This massive machinery not
only has large capacity but great
efficiency in extracting a very large
percentage of the juice and sugar
from the raw material.
Some six or eight men are now
employed on the installation which
number will be increased and the
work will proceed even more rapid
ly, upon the return of Mr. Karns
the later part of this week. AS soon
as the plant is completed, it will
be put into operation; contracts al
ready having been entered into for
supplies of raw material and this
Nogales industry will give steady
employment to score of workers
including the operation of the
bottling plant.
The most sanitary and efficient
equipment will be installed through
out and full utilization will be made
of all products; the pulp, after
the juice has been extracted pro-

FINAL FOOTBALL
GAME OF SEASON
ON LOCAL FIELD

The Nogales High School Apaches
and Douglas High School Bulldogs
will meet this afternoon at three
o'clock on the local field in a con-
ference gridiron tilt that will mark
the end of the football season for
the Apaches.
The game is one of the crucial
contests of the year, victory mean
ing second place in conference hon.
ors for the Nogales team and de-
feat or a tie regulating them to the
cellar petition. Dope places the team
on an equal footing but the Apa-
cheS are still smarting under a two
touchdown loss to the Bulldogs last
fall and are gFimly determined to
avenge the loss by an equal or
larger score.
Seven of the boys on the Nogales
team will play their last football
contest for the Apaches in this con-
test and naturally they want to
close their last season and game
with the greatest of possible hon.
ors. The boys who are playing their
last game are: Lewis Price, quar-
terback, three year letterman; Ar
turo Gonzalez. guard, three year
1etterman and all conference last
season; Alfonso Diaz, reserve full
back; Ernest Patton, two year let
terman and stellar fullback; Carlos
Ladoza, this years backfied ace;
Marcus Wuerschmidt, tackle and
three year letterman; and Albert
Munguia, reserve end.

mutation. In fact, the plant will be
a model of cleanliness and the pro-
duct will be the finest in purity
and quality.
For the dedication of the plant
it is expected that the group of
Colorado capitalists who are strong
ly backing this Arizona develop
ment will be here on the ground
ready to push ahead to greater
fields of endeavor along the line of
producing the most important for
eign liquor in the United States and
the foreign liquor having the great
est scope of demand because of the
enormous Mexican population.
H. A. Hamilton, of Colorado
Springs, who is active as investor
and director of this as we'll as a
number of large and active corpor-
atiors in Colorado first visited No
gales in July and personally salts
fled himself and his associates as to
the value of this enterprise and as
to the enormous actual demand
which exists for tequila, if it can be
sold at a reasonably low prcie.
which is now made possible by it's
production in the United States,
thus eliminating the excessive duties
on the imported article.
The distillery, it is understood,
will be located just north of the
Harry Karns residence on north
Grand avenue.
