IMPORTANT notice
ISSUED TO REGISTERS
OF VOTERS HERE

County Clerk M. S. Cook is sending
out circular letter calling attention
to the fact that unless voters give an
exact description of the place of their
residence they must not be registered.
Heretofore a large fl@tng element
in the valley has claimed residence in
the several towns without any pre-
tence Of holding claim to any particu-
lar place as residence In Imperial
at the special liquor election the bal
ance of power was held by this class,
who were assembled from all parts of
the valley to vote. Under the law
that could not be done The circular
is as follows:
In the Matter of Registering Voters:
Your attention is particularly called
to the necessity of voters living inside
the boundaries of municipal corpora
tions specifying the name of the
street, avenue or other location of
the dwelling of such elcctOr with such
description of the place that it can
be readily ascertained and identified.
If the elector be not the proprietor or
head of the house. then it must show
that fact, and upon what floor thereof,
and what room such elector occupies
in such house.
Such a statement is made manda-
tory by section 1896 of the political
code of the state of California, and a
man has not the qualifications of a
voter unless he has registered in ac-
cordance with said section 1896.
If the person applying to register re-
fuses to, or cannot make the state
ment above referred to, he must not
be registered.

ymous letter, alleged to have been re

attempts had been made to tamper
with three witnesses in the Connors

the defense attorneys demanded an
investigation. The court refused to
intervene or call a new jury on the
ground that there is no reason to be-

EXCESS BAGGAGE PROTEST

CHICAGO, Jan. 18.-Charges that.
present rates for the transportation OF
excess baggage are exorbitant have
been filed by the national baggage
committee, representing all the COM
mcrcial and travelling mems organiza-
tiOns of the country, with all the rail-
way passenger associations of the
United States. A conference will be
held today with view Of adjusting
the controversy, but it is probable
that the matter will go to the inter-
state commerce commission for a de-
cision.
The committee asks for a uniform
rate of 1919 per cent of the FIRST
class fare throughout the country per
100 pounds 1t also is asking that
the present rule providing that 150
pounds of baggage be carried free be
continued.

IMPERIAL VALLEY COTTON WINS
PRAISE IN NEW ORLEANS MARKET

isfactorily negotiated by the New Or

mined to send the bulk of their crop
to this market. The cars were han
died by the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Lal-
lande says that the prospects are good
for building up large business in
this territory from California cotton
growers.
The second big Imperial valley ship
ment caused even more favorable
comment upon the cotton exchange
than the first consignment: Leading
traders expressed their belief that if
California can grow such cotton as
the samples produced on the floor of
the exchange it soon will become a
formidable rival to the southern
states
Imperial Valley press., 1912-01-18

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1s.-An un-
usually large shipment of cotton from
the West has arrived here, consigned
to p. r. Gould e Co. of this city
1t was cotton from Ell Centre, in the
Imperial valley, California, and came
in twelve cars.
The total amount of the shipment
was 5S4 bales, the majority of the
cars carrying but fifty bales each. This
is the second largest consignment of
the fine staple which has been sent
here from the California district. The
business is claimed by Joseph Lal-
lande, assistant general freight agent
of the Southern Pacific, to be the re-
suit of a smaller shipment, which was
consigned to a local broker earlier in
the season. The business was so sat

ment and the people hand and foot for fifty years, for the law cannot be repealed. It is a contract, a vest ed right. It is the most daring and dangerous graft that ever was intro duced into Congress.
 There is serious probability of it's becoming law. Wall street is sure of success, and it generally knows. There is but one way to defeat the measure. It must be made the open public issue in this campaign. 1t is now actually pending in Congress. It is grave political question that vitally affects the pocket. interest and general welfare of every, man, woman and child. The people should force each party in convention to de- clare plainly and unequivocally either for or against the Aldrich bill. This will raise the issue and enable an ed- ucational campaign that will develop and record the popular will.
 It is great struggle by the people for financial freedom. The country right now badly needs leader with the honesty and courage of Andrew Jackson, one who will save popular government by smashing the great Wall street central bank conspiracy to corner the money supply and fi- nancially and politically ensalve the Republic for half century. Who will it be?

BEARS EYEBROWS AND
 MOUSE WHISKERS FETCH BIG PRICES

To say that there is an active de- mand at excellent prices for bears eyebrows, mouse whiskers, gafnecock and tropical bird hackles, human eye lashes and babies hair of a golden yellow shade, and that all find the same market, listens. like an ..Esau's fairy tale', as Monty Glass would put it, but it is not. Now that the trout fishing season is on in some States. wealthy SportSmen are using flies made of just these materials. The poorer angler usually has to be con tent with cheaper articles that are limitations of the materials used in the flies for which many trout and salmon fishers pay up into the thou sands of dollars year. What is called the gray gnat" is made of mouse whiskers. These are supplied principally by professional mouse catchers of the big cities, who charge a stiff price for clearing out the TO- dents from buildings, and then sell the whiskers The present market price of mouse whiskers is about two cents each. limitations of the gray gnat" are made of junglecock hackles.A Only the eye of an expert can detect the diff ference. but the trout is an expert. and he rises much quicker to the CTS of flies have men in various coun- tries where tropical birds abound who do nothing but hunt such birds for their hackles.
 The green screamer'' of Africa is a bird much sought after, and from $1O to $15 is paid for the little bunch of feathers on each wing Eyebrows of bears are used principally in the flies used by salmon fishers.

a set. The making of fly is some thing that very few people can learn. and those who succeed have a profes- sion that pays handsome wages. Many of the hairs used in a fly are so small as to be hardly visible. to the naked eye, and to knot them and fasten them to the hook 50 securely that only fly may be used for many fish IS no easy matter. Each individual hair has to be just so Many materials ,xo to make up the complete fly. The feelers are made of cats hair, white at the tips, and the '1egs" of fox hair.

FRA ELBERTUS, WHO IS B TODAY, IS THE
 G. B. S. OF AMERICA

"Other parts of the world have mon- keys: Europe has Frenchmen." So said Schopenhauer, by way of repar- tee to something some Frenchman had remarked of Germans. This epi- gram is apropos of nothing in par- ticular, and is therefore very appro- priate, for 1t serves to introduce MT. Ebert Hubbard, known to fame as Fra Elbertus, or simply The Fra, who was born in Bloomington, H., fifty three years ago today. The Sage of East Aurora converses in epigrams, wander so far from any given point that the reader or listener forgets what it is.
 Europe has George Bernard Shaw, but America has Fra Elbertus. Which of the pair is the most successful self advertiser it would be difficult to say; perhaps, in the vulgar language of the streets, it is case of "hoss and hoss. Certainly, up to the hour of rushing to press, neither of those lit erary gentlemen has ever overlooked an opportunity for auto-publicity. aforesaid. but he looks and acts like boy who had never grown up. The tonsorial artists of East Aurora gath CT no shekels from shearing the Fra's poll. In fact. strangers oft mistake the Fra for MT. Sutherland, and ask
 
 sisters. 0es. child, I nkow that is old stuff.) The Sage has sartorial tendency toward the grain-bag style of architecture and tops his flowing locks with a hat-see advertising page for name-that is decidedly western the lecture platform he comforts his mobile. smooth-shaven face into strange and fearful grimaces. A strange combination of clown and philosopher, he is also a business man who knows every slant and angle of ing. Mrs. Fra, it has been said, con- siders MT. Fra reincarnation of one of the great prophets. In any event, he is great profit.
 Not since Voltaire has a literary man shown such genius for money tine. He employs hundreds of people in his various enterprises, which in- clude about everything in the range of commercial and industrial activity, but all with de luxe trimmings. Ev- .erything about East Aurora is de luxe The factories are beautiful structures, covered with ivy and surrounded by trees;
 There are those who have tried to make MT. Hubbard into the leader of a cult, but his sense of humor has always saved him from such fate. ! is summed up in the phrase, Do the best you can. and be kind" He urges young men to take themselves and their lifework seriously-to learn to "Carry a message to Garcia" And then he adds his 11th commandment. Don't take yourself too serious ly.'
 Some jealous folk have alleged that MT. Hubbard is crazy. He is-just like fox. It has been said that he is plagiarist. He is-like Homer: "An' wat e thought e might require e went an took, the same as me-
 Much-perhaps most-of what the Fra has written is as transient as-a daily newspaper He has written at least one thing, however, that de- serves to last, and that is the beauti- full tribute to his wife. In that book he has said much that most men re> serve for epitaphs. and. said it better. inasmuch as it is the praise of com rade for a friend and an equal and not the affected eulogy of the great for the inferior.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-06-19
DANGER IN FRATS

The Board of Education did we'll to admit young MT. Devine to class honors. His offense seems to have been spurely technical. Mr. Devine made oath that he was not a mem Der of a fraternity. that he knew of no fraternity within the school. and that he had not attended q meeting within a year. There was no ievi- dence against the youth, except the pin which he had worn- Under these circumstances his own testimony IS entirely sufficient to exonerate him, but since his escape from a serious position is upon his own evidence, it will not be amiss to consider, the sit .uation in which he would have found himself had he been a member. Con fession with it's attendant consequen- .ces, or denial under oath would have been the alternatives. Denial under oath would mean being false to or ganized society. to the civil. law and worse The false oath comes within the purview of the criminal law and constitutes perjury
 Young people wha may think 1t clever or fine and splendid" to join frats in disobediehce to the rules of the board of education have an op- portunitys to consider what the result may be. If, unlike Mr. Devine, they are guilty of the charge they must confess which is hard thing to do. or perjure themselves. which is dangerous thing to do and neither fine, nor splendid"
