thirty-five years old, was struck and

feet lying on the other. The car was
slowing up for the Union Station. and

1t is not believed that an inquest will
be necessary.

"A large tent, measuring 60x120 has
been secured to house the agricultural
exhibits at the county fair. A large
alfalfa house constructed of baled hay
will occupy the center portion of the
tent There will be four entrances to
this house, and in the center there will
be a Typographical map of Imperial
valley, showing the country from the
Colorado river to the Salton sea, and
including the land in Mexico as far as
Volcano lake. The actual soil of the
valley will be used in the proper

S. P. Takes Off
One Valley Train

The remarkable announcement is
received that the Southern Pacific
Company will take off one valley
train with its new schedule, which will
become effective Sunday, in some re-
spects leaving the valley the poorest
service it has had for several years.
Heretofore there have been two trains
each way day for Los Angeles with
an extra train each way for valley
traffic and connection with east bound
trains, and the latter will now be dis
pensed with.
Beginning Sunday, people bound
for eastern points will be obliged to
leave Ell Centre at 1925 in the morn
ing and remain at the junction until
1852 if bound for New Orleans and
until SAT if bound for Chicago, the
latter implying wait of nearly
twelve hours, the worst connection
ever made in the history of the valley
road.
1t has been reported that the new
schedule would give the valley three
connections each way day between
Los Angeles and the valley, but the
dropping of the midday train does
away with that, and gives but two
trains each way day.
In one respect there will be i'm
rrovement. Heretofore the day train
has made the run direct between the
valley and Los Angeles, but the night
train on the valley road connected
with main line overland. Hereafter
both trains will run clear through,
doing away with change of trains at
the junction.
But it will hardly be claimed that
this gain will offset the loss of a mid
day train, through the valley, as well
as the great delay at the junction for
east-bound traffic.
1t is a surprise to everybody that
the company should cut down the
service in the valley at time when
the valley business is increasing as
rapidly as it is and when the company
is handling a great passenger busi-
ness.
The two Los Angeles trains will
leave at the same hour and minute,
8:15, one in the morning and the 9TH
er in the evening, and this will also
be disappointment, as it was thought
the hour of departure would be late
enough to permit the passengers to
pass the evenings before taking the
train.
The two trains will arrive at 7:10
in the morning and 4:40 in the after
noon.
They will arrive in Los Angeles at
6:45 in the morning and 4:5O in the
afternoon.
The trains will leave Los Angeles
at 1850 in the morning and II in the
evening, this provision enabling the
passengers to attend the theater there
before leaving.
Both trains will do local work all
along the line.
The mail service will be badly Grip
Pied by taking off the day train, and
communication between valley points
will be greatly delayed.
1t seems probable that all the civic
bodies of the valley will get busy to
have the train restored, as there is
little disposition to permit the rail-
road service to go backward when
every other enterprise in the valley is

this next time.
After washing your hair with soap
always apply little Danderine to the
scalp to invigorate the hair and pre-
vent dryness. Better still, use soap as
sparingly as possible, and instead
have a "Danderine Hair Cleanse"
Just moisten a cloth with Danderine
and draw it carefully through the
hair, taking one strand at a time.
This will remove dust, dirt and exces-
sive oil. In few moments you will
be amazed, your hair will not only be
clean, but it will be wavy, fluffy and
abundant, and possess an incompar-
able softness and lustre.
Besides cleansing and beautifying
the hair, one application of Danderine
dissolves every particle of dandruff;
stimulates the scalp, stopping itching
and falling hair. Danderine is to the
hair what fresh showers Of rain and
sunshine are to vegetation. 1t goes
right to the roots, inyigorates and
strengthens them. Its exhilarating
and life-producing properties cause
the hair to grow long, strong and
beautiful.
Men! Ladies! You can surely have
lots of charming hair. Get a 25-cent
bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from
any drug store or toilet counter and
try it.-Adv.

RAINS DAMAGE
 COTTON GRADES
In Alabama And All States West and Even In East Have
 Been of Little Benefit.

As a resulkof the 7 to 10 days of practically continuous rains for the week ending September 20, material damage to grade is reported over a large part of Alabama and in every state westward to the limit of the cotton belt. Some actual loss of cotton is indicated from beat ing rains, overfowed lowlands and as a result of sprouting of seed in the boil. This latter is not a general condition being confined to unfavored localities. Little or no picking has been done and in some sections the gins have been unable to run for want of supply of cotton. At the end of the week clear wealth CT prevailed over these states and field work will be very quickly resumed.
 /, The benefits from rains in these states will be manifest at a later date in more fully ma- tured late bolls and possibly in the formation of some new fruit if killing frost is long delayed. It is not quite clear at this time to what extent the out turn will be helped from the better development of small and young bolls. Since however so great per centage of the crop was either open or ready to O. pen the addition will not likely be large. This is notably true
 in states west of the Mississip- pi river.
 In Georgia and the Carolinas rains were not so heavy as else- where but showers were fre- quent and delayed picking and ginning. The early cotton is O. pening very fast. The late plantings will be helped by the rain, but generally this late crop is said to be not we'll fruit ed.
Newport daily independent., 1913-09-22

other hand much damage done. Reliable estimates are that fifty per cent of open cotton has sprouted seed. Great damage to grade.
 Texas-No picking over en- tire state for ten days. Grade damaged and some cotton lost by beating rains and seed sprouting. This damage not general or heavy however. In Northern counties with late frost yield will be increasd. In Central parts plant has taken on new growth with some slight chance for late crop. Southern counties too many weevll and leaf worm to make any more fruit. In western districts gin ming will be completed very ear -lv as cotton is about all open. Rains as whole of doubtful bene- fit.
