STARVED DOGS EAT CHILDREN

X. U. Professor, Just Returned From
Labrador, Describes Conditions.
LAWRENCE, Kan.-Dr. E. R. Weld
lein of the University of Kansas has
just returned from Labrador, where
he went in connection with expert
ments at the University to discover
a commercial or medical use for the
ductless glands of deep sea mammals,
4 with view to enabling the natives to
better their condition by deriving in
come from the sale of the glands, all
under the philanthropic planning OF
DR.. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary
physician of the Labrador coast.
DR.. Weidlein's health was greatly
benefited by his trip and he gained
much useful information which will
aid him in his laboratory work.
In a talk before the Chemical Club
he told of some Of his experiences.
Crime, he said, was almost unknown.
Only one murder has been committed
on the island in the last twenty-five
years. He also said the people were
very polite and were always eager to
do favor for strangers.
Dogs can't be trusted with the chill
dren in Labrador. The animals are
always half starved and mothers are
compelled to keep their little ones in
doors, or take chances of having them
eaten alive. So many deaths had hap
pened in this manner in the last few
months that DR.. Grenfell was putting
forth every effort to persuade the in
habitants to substitute reindeer for
dogs as draft animals.
while I was there last, summer
said the doctor, "a man in one of the
camps became entangled in the har-
ness of his sled, was pouneed upon
and devoured by his dogs. 1t often
happens that the animals will attack
and kill one of their own number. This
sometimes happens before the driver
can come to the rescue of the dog
attacked"

NEW YORK, Nov, S.-The election

Two years from now, even if Roose-

SOILS CONFERENCE
Much interest Manifested at Los An. selss Gathering to Study Methods
 of Scientific Farming.

That the farmers are coming to a wholesome appreciation of the value of scientific knowledge as a basis on which to work Is the opinion of w. E. Packard, the State University expert stationed at El Centro. on his return from the soil convention held in Los Angeles last week.
 'The farmers came early and stayed until the close of the session, follow ing the discussions and papers with avid interest" said MT. Packard. The meeting was first called in the auditorium of the Chamber of Com meTce but the room was too small and we went to Blanchard Hall. Prof. F. J. Wickson of Berkeley was in the chair and the papers and addresses were full of vital interest. Perhaps the most learned addresses were those of Prof F. H. King, of the University of Wisconsin. The statements he made to the farmers were all of value to Imperial Valley ranchers and most of them will be taken up in the bulle- tin to be issued by this office this year.
 Soil conditions in the valley are unique, but in a general way the con vention papers covered the ground. The soil atoms are puddled together here by being deposited in water and it is very desirable to break up these particles with humus so as to tighten up the soil and afford bacteria an op- portunity to do their work. Humus and nitrogen are lacking, it is found, and these may be put into the soil hy the cultivation of cover crops, such as alfalfa, which are to be plow- ed under
 Much good results from the conven- tion and the Imperial Valley men who attended have returned to their work with great deal of valuable informal tion. They also had the privilege of voting on resolution addressing an appeal to the state legislature asking for larger appropriations for scienti- fic study along these lines. It is stated that more than 100 bulletins are completed and are not available because there are no funds with which to print them. The importance of making possible the promulgation of the discoveries of the university's ex- perimenters is strongly urged in the resolutions and is expected to be eff fective.
 Mir. Packard was recognized by the assemblage to the extent of being chosen secretary.

WHAT BROUGHT THEM.

A number of citizens were discuss ing the action of the Board of Super visors in appropriating $1200 to ad- vertise the county in Sunset Magazine the other day The Chronicle man made the inquiry: How did each of you gentlemen happen to become in terested in the Imperial Valley?"
 M. Schlatter stated that Geo. Mccall, of Imperial, had sent copy of the Im- perial Press, then conducted by MT. Howe, to his neighborhood in the mid dle west and that one copy commenced to circulate and kept on circulating until it was worn out. MT Schlatter decided to visit this country and did so. Upon his return he told his neighbors what was here and E. E. Bennett, then recorder of deeds, de- cided to visit the Imperial Valley. The Russells of No. decided to come {; one other family decided to move to the valley. He attributed the influx Of four families now owning and culti- vating rich farms here to one copy of local paper.
 Judge w. F. McCollum stated that he was first interested in this country by reading one of the local papers published here and finally decided to settle here.
 Now what is the best way to ad- vertise Imperial County?
 The supervisors have $2O00 per year to spend on advertising. 5000 will send copies of the valley papers to 4000 people of the east for three no better way to expend thit sum could be found if local people would furnish the names of personal friends in the east.-Calexico Chron- icle.

SCARCITY OF COAL
RESULTS In RAISE
Peoria Facing a Famine-ROck Is
land Dealers Are Well
Supplied.

The dealers of Peoria say that I'M
less relief is afforded in a short time
in the coal market there that the city
will experience one of the worst fuel
famines in years. This is the forecast
by both Wholesale and retail dealers
and is general throughout the city.
The dealers in Peoria were unfortun-
ate a few months ago when the coal
market was plentifully supplied after
a critical situation for weeks. They
say that all of the surplus supply was
gobbled up by the larger factories and
the railroads for private use. and that
they could obtain but enough for i'm
mediate demands.
However. Peoria is about the only
city to suffer as most coal dealers in
other cities secured a supply after the
famine last winter which threatened
TO close a number of the larger fac
tories and even interfered with the
operation of the railroads. The deal
ers in Rock Island have a surplus
stock and anticipate no trouble what
ever in supplying the demand.
Not a mine in Illinois and but few
in nearby states are in operation at
present and it is impossible to say
when they will resume This, with
the shortage at Peoria, has raised the
price of coal cents per bushel, with
the exception of coal which was con
tracted for in advance. Most of the
wholesalers have sold their coal at
contract This price holds at delivery
and there is scarcely any change in
