TO TALK BUSINESS

AT the meeting of the chamber
OF commerce last evening it was de-
cided that on the occasion of the visit
OF members of the Los Angeles Cham
hers of the Los Angeles Chamber OF
Commerce the first purpose would be
to have full, free and frank bus
iness-like conference to consider the
relationship between this valley and
that city. 1t was felt that this could
be done without any infraction of the
hospitality which it is desired TO eX-
tend to the visitors. To this end, a
meeting will be held at some suitable
place where an informal discussion
of problems of mutual interest can be
held.
While the eXcursionists will be the
guests of the valley people, it is rec
ognized that business is the purpose
of the visitation, and it is believed the
visitors as we'll as the hosts will be
pleased to have an opportunity to talk
real business.

NUMBER EIGHT WILL SELL
C. D.'S DELINQUENT STOCK
Resolution of Directors Provides That
Proceeds of Sales Shall Be
Placed in Escrow

Brawley News: Water Company
No. s held a continuation of the an
nual meeting Tuesday. At that time
the chief business was the consider
alton of a resolution. offered at the
previous meeting by H. b. Stewart
This resolution provides that the 49,,
040 shares of stock owned by the
California Development Company, sold
by No. s for non payment of assess
ment, bought by the company and now
in litigation on appeal from the SUI
perior court of Imperial county, shall
be sold at price not less than SIS
a share, the proceeds to be applied on
q basis of so per cent TO the receiver
and the remainder to No. s.
Judge HaineS, attorney for the com
pany, was present, and kept busy an
SWering the numerous questions re-
earding the probable effect of the res
olution upon the affairs of the com
pany. The question of estoppel was
uppermost in the discussion Judge
Haines took the position maintained
by J. NJ. Eshleman while attorney for
the company, that the portion OF the
contract by which the California De-
yclopment Company stock was re-
lieveG from assessments is Illegal and
therefore void.
A lively tilt occurred over pro-
posal 10 distribute the l3,O4O shares
of stock among the present stock
holders. Another suggestion to lease
the stock was the source of much de-
bate.
Finally the resolution was passed
amended. The minimum selling price
was reduced to SO a share, and the
proceeds. if any, are to be placed in
escrow, instead of being divided.
Before this resolution can be put
into effect Judge Bordwell must aI-
prove on agreement between the re-
ceiver and the No. Company.

HOW TO CONTROL THE
COMMON HOUSE FLY
Hints as to Best Methods for Reducing
Notorious Pest Are Given by
Dr.. Ernest 3. Hoag

The fly population of town or city
is a pretty accurate index of the meth
DDS of town or city housekeeping.
People need not endure the annoy
ance, to say nothing of the danger, of
flies, if they are willing to devote a
little time and energy to their eXter-
mination. The whole Imperial valley
harbors flies This is a real problem
in this valley. The people who have
visited the public health car all seem
to be particularly anxious to learn how
TO eXterminate this pest
The house fly is also known as the
typhoid fly, because it frequently car
ries the disease of typhoid
Only a few points need be kept in
mind in attempt TO battle with this
ancient enemy of man and animals.
First.-The fly lays its eggs in ma
nure heaps These develop into flies in
from 10 to IA days, according to the
temperature.
Second.-Flies deposit eggs in out
door closets.
Third-Flies lay eggs in ferment-
ing garbage.
Altogether, it will be noted that
the fly is most undiscriminating in
his personal habits. A filthier ami
NAL than the fly never existed. The
fly in the long run is far more dam
gerous than the lion or tiger.
The Gila monster, so much feared
in the desert, is an innocent domes-
tic pet compared with the fly.
The centipede and most of the spi-
ders are far less to be feared than
the typhoid fly, popular impressions
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The fly lays from 70 to 125 eggs
each time and repeats the process
several times during its life. An av-
erage pile of manure will give rise
to 455,525 maggots (fy larvae) after
standing four days (actual expert
menD.
Remedy:
1.-Remove manure.
2.-Spread it out thin, not over four
inches deep.
keep manure in tight bins or
screened pits.
4.-Make use of the sanitary privy
(see bulletin of California state board
of health.
5.-Keep garbage covered in gal
yanized iron cans.
6.-Remove it frequently.
Ito kill flies use formaldehyde
part, water 20 parts, and add some
sugar.
8.-Screen your houses.

DECLARATION TO WORLD THAT
NO GRABS WILL BE PERMITTED

WASFINGT Feb. 9.-In a note
to the German ambassador, Secretary
OF State KNOX again has put the
United Sta-eS in prominent position
of protector of the integrity of the
Chinese ampipe and places this gov
elnment on record in favor of pol
icy Of hands off, during the present
political Upheayal'in in China.
The publication of the note also is
regarded here as in effect a decIara-
tiOn 70 the world that the United
States and Germany will be found act
ing together against any grabs in
China by other powers The pubIica-
ton of the note follows an exchange
between the governments of Germany
and the United States in regard to
the situation.
The note was handed to Ambassa-
dor BerustOrf in response to an in
Quiry from his government as to the
attitude and general impressions of
the government of the United States
in regard to conditions in China.
Copies of this note have been placed
in the hands of the other powers in
terested in China; namely, Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, Russia and Japan.
1t is expected that the text of the
note. as agreed on by the governments
of Germany and the United States,
will have & strong moral effect in
regard to future developments in
China
Fan faith OF the adhesion of all the
powers to the policy of non -interven-
tor and absolute neutrality in the Chi
uese situation is expressed by the sec
retlry il the note, convinced that in
the event Of further steps by the pow
cra in the Chinese situation all will
agree to the policy or concerted ac-
ton.
Secretary Knox also declares it to
be the policy of the United States to
discourage its national bankers from
making any loans to either side in the
Chinese situation, regarding a loan to
be a violation of the policy of alb
sOhIte neutrality.
This step on the part of Secretary
KnoX is plainly a move in continual
ton Of the Hay policy in regard to
China Germany has from the first
been mos heartily in accord with the
United States in maintaining the in
tegrity of China and the absolute neu-
trality Of the powers during the pres
