entry blanks. Already there have
been three new dairy herds pro-
missed as exhibitors and the fair
opening is more than three weeks
in the offing.
George WinWright OF the farm
advisors department, serving the
fair board as director of dairy cat
tie exhibits, named two fine herds
outside the county limits that will
be exhibited al the Imperial
grounds. They are the Mountain
Meadows herd from Jacumba and
the NeWberry herd of the Yuma
valley. Both are well known. The
third new herd promised is from
the Rosenbaum farm west Of I'M
perial. They are GuernSeys. The
two former herds are Jerseys.
1t is understood that the Schenl-
man. Havekorst and FarnsWorth
dairy herds will be represented
as usual with some excellent new
animals and some of the tops OF
herd. This assures an almost full
dairy barn at the fair. Additional
prizes have enticed new exhibitors
in the livestock, as well as other
departments.

Engineer Makes
Loss Estimates
In Power Plans

Basing his estimates on figures
submitted by The Southern SierrdS
Power company covering the amount
of its business in the Coachella and
Imperial Valleys and the Colorado
River district during the year 1884
Lester S. Ready, consulting engineer
has drawn up comparative esti-
mate of the percentage of this bus
mess which will be taken away from
the private company by the Imperial
Irrigation District when the dis
trict's proposed power development
and distribution program begins TO
operate.
These estimates show that in 1884
the private power company served
Il .884 customers in the two valleys
and sold 41,722,331 kiloWatt hours
of power to these customers for
which it received $1,3O3,4 ,461. These
figures are for the so-called com
petitive" field, and cover domestic
commercial. municipal and irri-
gatiCn district pCWer service.
The report states that the esti-
mated amount of business which
will ultimately be diverted from
the private power company in this
competitive" field to the Imperial
Irrigation district service Will
amount to: 1O,466 customers, 49,
819, 1853 kiloWatt hours of power and
a revenue of $l,080,456, all based
on the private company figures Civ
en- for the year 1884.
The 'non-competitive" field is
not included in these figures as it
covers service to affiliates of the
private power company operating
in the two valleys and some whole
ale sales of power In this class
are included 10 customers, the sale
of 20,844, 724 kilowatt hours of power
with a revenue of $393, ,685 as for
1884

PHOENIX, Ariz. Feb. 12 U.P)-
Arizonas state supreme court to-
day held under advisement an ap-
peal tC declare the states alien
land law unconstitutional on
grounds that it violated the fed
eral and state constitutions.
The plea was made by attorneys
for three japanese convicted of
violating the law which forbids
aliens ineligible for citizenship to
own, lease, work or share crop
farm lands.
Attorneys declared that the law
prohibited the japanese from
making a living at the only kind
of work they were fitted to fol-
low. They said that japanese were
allowed to work for wages, regard
less of the type of work but were
not allowed tO farm if they had
any interest in the land.

hand the broad, flat beak Of burly
Babe Ruth, deposed king OF swat
and the tip-tilted schnozzola OF
Katherine Hepburn seem to have lit
tie in common, but Mel BernS, chief
of the RKO-Radio makeup depart
ment, says each has its merits.
Had it not been for the Babes
bill, Berns would never have got
around to Katherine's, nor Tor that
matter to those of Kay tranclS,
Dolores Del Rio. Ann Harding, Gin
ger Rogers and others, which he
makes over at will.
The stocky, curly-haired Berns
left Chicago's west side to become
a comedian and stunt man, but was
doing only $3.50 in 1925 when the
Babe. then at the height of his
fence busting career, came to Hol-
lyWood to commit a movie called
"The Babe Comes Home"
Studios had no makeup men in
those days, each actor doing his own
beautifying. Consequently nobody
knew what to do when Ruth's first
test flashed on the screen and his
blunt nose loomed like the stern of
the US.S. Maryland, pores standing
out like portfolios.
1t looked as if there would be no
| picture until somebody remembered
Berns was especially handy at ap-
plying grease-paint and powder, and
the harrassed director called him in
Mel remembered a trick Of actors
late for the curtain call, smeared
the Ruth proboscis with cold cream,
then busted it lightly with powder.
The test showed the nose sleek, sub
| dued, and looking only about the size
of fair to middling Watermelon
Great" said the director tc
Babe. You do that every time you

Ruth hunched his shoulders the

"Whaddaya mean, every time l

girl, and if you think I'm gonna
powder my pan yith any fluffy-puti
you're crazy as hell. Nobody's gonna
get a chance to call me a sissy Let
this guy do it,"
Right there a new profession was
born. Berns has been a makeup
man ever since.

Ihe business picture at this

Shell expects 1896 to be a year

When Yeshl, the Tali'1k2 | God of Creation heard the sun, moon and stars were concealed in a box owned by a rich and powerful chief on the borderlandS of darkness, he expressed an intense desire to obtain them.
 The chief had an only dau .ghter that he loved so much that she was not al- lowed to eat or drink until her father had examined the food. Yeshl, aware of these things, understood that it would be possible for the chief to obtain the light and therefore he re- solved to be born again by the chiefs daughter. The task was not any easy one, but YeShl could assume any form he liked. Consequent ly, he transformed himself into a blade of grass and he leaned against the vessel out of which the chiefs dau ghter was in the habit of drinking, and when, after due examination by her father, she lifted up the vessel to quench her thirst,

Reports Reindeer East Of Barrow
 Suffer Epidemic
Disease Affects Feet: Some Say Hoof and Mouth
 Disease: Others Not
(By The Associated Press)

Juneau, Jan. 9, - A re- port that the reindeer east ward of Point Barrow, were dying as a result of disease, was made to the government office here by Paul Stafford at Nome, act ing supervisor of the rein deer service, in the absence of Lyman s. Brewster in the states.
 In the making of an in- vestigation, steps have al- ready been taken to isolate the affected parts of the herds.
 The first report of the disease, which affects the feet, came from Frank Daugherty, Bureau of h. dian Affairs teacher at Bar
 row, who was given the report by a prospector who reported seeing a number of deer dead and dying.
 While some theorized it might be the hoof and disease, others be- lieved the disease to be something else, probably caused by too close herd ing in wet ground, which can be cured by moving the animals to higher areas.
