 RIPENING RAPIDLY IN VALLEY
Small Express Shipments This Week. and Melons will go Out in Carloads Within Few DaySQuaIity and Quantity Better than Prediced---HoIviIe Ready to Deal Vigorously with Labor DStUrberS and LOaferS,

CTS. The same evening it is expected that a body of forty Germans will ar rive here. They will work together on the melon ranches near town in the Fancy Melon Growers Associa- tiOn.
 Association managers are endeavor- ing to impress upon the growers the necessity of making immediate requis- ition for the number of helpers they expect to need, and they say that if this is done there will be no difficulty i'll supplying firstclass labor. The old CT association expects to employ Japa- nese pickers chiefly, having had un- satisfactory experience with white la bor heretofore.
 It is reported that emissaries of the l. w. w. have invaded Holtville and are proclaiming that they propose to boss the labor situation and dictate terms, but the Holtville people give no- tice that they will not tolerate inter ference or trouble-making, and that agitators, walking delegates and hobos will find Holtville the most uncomfort able place they ever got into.

Last week Snide Petersby made
trip 10 the County Seat on busi-
ness and pleasure, mostly pleasure ;
and while there got holt Of 4 old
copy Of a city newspaper so that
he could read what was going on
IN the outside world as YOU might
[ say. The next day after Snide re-
turned home he put on his specs
and set down on his front piazzer
and begin 10 read the news. II was
about 9 30 a. N. when Snide bust
into the Bugle Office with the pa
per clencht IN his hand and showed
Us in black and white print where
( Taft had been nominated for Pres
ident Of the L. S. BY the repub1i-
cans and BRYAN for the same
Office by the democrats. This was
big news to us being as we hadn't
/ herd nothing about It. and we cal
kilate It viii be a surprise TO those
OF our subscribers who haven't al
ready been told about it BY Snide
who spread the news all over Bing-
vile concerning these nominations.
During the past few davs we
have been asked on MANY occasions
weather the Bugle would support
Taft or BRYAN for President. if
either. We desire tc saw IN reply
that we have not as vet made I'D
our mind on that point. and will
not do so until we can confer with
the campaign committee of both
parties which has charge of the
distribution Of funds. Whether
the Bugle consciensiouslv supports
Taft or BRYAN viii depend a good
deal on how much the campaign
managers are willing 10 spend for
said support For instance. If the
republican party would offer to
paw us $50 for boosting Taft. we
could not consciensiousIv do so pro-
viding Brvan's managers would Of
fer US S700 for doing the same
thing There was a time in the
history Of the Bugle when II was
q stanch republican paper of IN
sweTving fidelity 10 the republican
party but by and by we found that
answering fidelity to the republi-
can party didn't paw US as well as
unswerving hGelitv TO the democrat
party, so the Bugle therefore be-
came q stanch democrat organ to
say nothing Of being Populistic one
year and digging for prohibition
another. Because Of this change

Of being fkel in our political affll-

New Disease OF Horses.

A new and destructive disease of horses
new, that is, to this continent-has
been discovered in western Pennsylvania.
1t is epizootic ~lymphangitis, and the state
veterinary department is taking every pos
sible means to stamp out the disease be
fore it has caused great loss to horse
owners throughout the State.
This disease has been known for a long
time in India, China, Japan and the
Philippine Islands, and more recently in
South Africa. From South Africa it was
carried, after the Boer war, to England
and Ireland, where the British Board OF
Agriculture has been combating it active
ly for several years. When or by what
agency it reached Pennsylvania has not
been discovered.
About 40 horses deemed incurable have
been destroyed. The others arc in quar-
antine. The disease is a dangerous one
and hard to combat.

as to Clarence Joseph.
Where is Clarence Joseph? His
sister, Mrs. Ora Rudy, wife of a farm
er living near Troy, o., has written to
the authorities at Aberdeen to try and
find the young man. The letter states
that he was last seen in Aberdeen
Aug. 25, 1907, since which time Meth
or relatives nor friends seen o"
heard from him. Mrs. Rudy writes
that her brother never failed to write
when away from home and his long
silence is causing great uneasiness TO
his family. Joseph is about 81 years
of age, 6 feet l inch in height and
slim. If Joseph came to Aberdeen
he is not there now, at least that is
what the authorities say after an in
vestigation. He may have been there
at the time mentioned and gon west
OF the Missouri river with the hun
dreds of others who went through
there last summer to take up claims
in the newly opened country. Mrs.
Rudy fears some accident has befallen
him and requests that the widest posi-
BILE publicity be given to the matter
with the hope that the mystery sur
rounding his disappearance may be
cleared up.
