A FALSE NOTE
AS with most tear jerkers, the
plot becomes distorted with Incl
dents which aren't particularly
plausible. In an effort 10 wiring the
most sympathy from the audience,
frequently they forget that some
of the facts are pretty far
fetched.
For example Miss Bishop Is
represented as Splnster through
out the picture. simply because on
the eve Of wedding she found
out that her fiance had been
tricked into taking moonlight
ride down by the river by an
other woman in this midwestern
town. She is also represented as
being a perfect school teacher be-
cause of her perfect understand
ing. her willingness 10 forgive and
forget and the tact she displays
TO encourage every one with whom
she comes in contact.

The district agreed, as part Of
the contract to install drainage
facilities. This Improvement will
proceed step by step as additional
payments are made. Probably, the
district will eXpend all the pur-
chase price on new drainage facilit-
les.
District authorities indicated that
although the new drains would
benefit the newly purchased 2200
acres. they would also benefit sew
eral thousand more acres of land
in the vicinity that has been sorely
in need OF outlets.
Purchasers hoped TO reach out
and reclaim the ha.d land through
several years of rice growing. Rice
culture requires three months of
flooding. Authorities in the past,
however, maintained that complete
teaching would be impossible with
out installation of tile drains. The
drainage plans in this section pro-

Recognition Among
Imp|eInet Firms

Imperial Valley is gaining recog-
milton among national manufactur-
ers of farm implements as the most
progressive agricultural area in the
United States, Ben Hulse revealed
Wednesday.
Hulse, himself one of the valleys
foremost dealers in farm imple-
mentS, pointed out that the high
type farmers coming to the valley
in recent years have brought this
recognition.
AS proof the recognition extended
tc the valley, Hulse pointed out the
Caterpillar Tractor company's an
nouncement here of a new Dc
caterpillar tractor, styled to meet
the ever increasing need for great
er efficiency in farm equipment in
the valley.
The machinery distributors,
Hulse said, have long known that
the agricultural industry in this
territory is the production line for
winter agriculture, and that it is
just as important to keep the line
of products moving as it is to keep
manufacturing plants production
line moving"
The new Dc caterpillar, Hulse
pointed out, is 55 horsepower
track type tractor with five for
ward speeds, carefully spaced to al
law the Imperial Valley farmer to
travel in a gear which allows him
to cover the largest possible number
Of acres per hour with each of The

800 Storm-Bound Planes
Released to Seek Enemy

Orders for dawn attacks Signaled
the renewal of the lightning war in
the Louisiana maneuvers today.
Grounded by storm winds and
poor visibility at the opening of the
final week of the field exercises, al
most 800 planes of the I'd and Sd
Armies were released to seek out the
enemy from Shreveport. in North
Louisiana, to Lake Charles, La, TO

spread eastward from Texas.
Both commanders apparently held
back their armored divisions until
the war games developed to a point
for a decisive blow.
First. armored scout cars OF cav
airy regiments shot out into the
1O0-mile strip that separated the
armies. to reach the enemy quickly,
and as soon as possible determine
the type and strength of the oppo-
sition Immediately ahead.
Meanwhile. slow but powerful In
fantry divisions moved forward,
each a force of $4,000 to $4,000 men,
to hold fast if it met stronger op-
position or fight Its way through
lighter resistance.
Patrols Hold BOyce.
The I'd Army apparently jumped
off from south of the Red River be-
tween Shreveport and Alexandria,
La, Meanwhile, cavalry patrols Of
the Sd Army soon reached Boyce,
La. northwest of Alexandria, and
seemed in excellent position to hold
that town as an anchor for great
stiff-arm swing southwest.
Once the 10 division of the Sd
Army and the seven of the I'd were
locked in the simulated war it ap
peared that both sides would let
loose their armored forces for the
finish fight. The battle might last

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Am I to understand that Whip
poor-Will is cousin to Boomer the
Nighthawk? inquired Peter Rabbit.
He is a sort of second cousin, the
same as Sooty the Chimney Swift, y
retorted Jenny Wren. HE and
Boomer look enough alike to be
own cousins. Whip-poor-will has
just the same kind of a big mouth
and he is dressed very much like
Boomer, save that there are no
white patches on his wings"
I've noticed that" said Peter.
THAT is one way I can tell them
apart"
so you've noticed that much,
have you." cried Jenny. 1T does
you credit. Peter; it does you credit.
I wonder if you have also noticed
Whip wills whiskers."
"Whiskers" cried Peter. who
ever heard of a bird having whisk-
ers? There are some things I can't
swallow, and bird whiskers are
among them"
Nobody asked you to swallow
them. Nobody wants you to swallow
them," retorted Jenny. Il don't
know why a bird shouldn't have
whiSkers just as we'll as you, Peter
Rabbit. Anyway, Whip-poor- will
has them and that is all there is
to it. 1t doesn't make any difference
whether you believe in them or not,
they are there. I guess Whip-poor-
will finds them Just as useful as YOU
find yours, perhaps a little more so.
l know this much, that if l had to
catch all my food in the aid I'd
want whiskerS and lots of them so
that the bugs would get tangled in
them. I suppose that's what Whip
poor wills are for"
Il beg your pardon, Jenny" said
Peter very humbly. "Of course.
Whip-poor-w will has whiskers if you
say so. BY the way, do the Whip
poor-wills do any better in the
matter of a nest than the Night
hawkS?"
Not bit, replied Jenny Wrenn.
Mrs. Whip-poor-Will lays her eggs
right on the ground, but usually in
the Green Forest, where it is dark
and lonesome. Like Mrs. Night
hawk, she lays only two. It's the
same with another second cousin
Chuck-Will 'S-widow."
"Who?" cried Peter, wrinkling his
brows.
"Chuck-wilrs- widow" Jenny Wren
fairly shouted. Don't you know
Chuck-Will 's-WidoW?"
Peter shook his head. 1--WE never
heard of such bird" he confessed
That's what comes of never hav-
ing travelled" retorted Jenny Wren,
If you'd ever been South as I
have, you would know Chuck-wills-
widow. He looks a whole lot like
the other two we've been talking
about, but his mouth is ever bigger,
What's more, he has whiskers with
branches. In his habits he is like
his two cousins, no nest and two
eggs. I never have seen people 50
afraid to raise a real family. II
we Wrens didn't do better than that
I don't know what would become of
U.s."
