cons,,mption IN Erano,

DIR. Jacques Bertillon of Paris, has
given it as his opinion that alcohol
may be called the principal cause OF
consumption. lie says that all France
is divided in two sections North of
tho River Loire the grape vine does
not thrive and the favorite beverages
cre cider and beer In that section
much alcohol is consumed, and tuber-
culosis is of frequent occurrence.
Tho other section is south of the
Loire. There the grape flourishes, the
principal beverage is claret, and con
sumption is of rare occurrence.

Marlow saw a pretty young woman, clad in the lat est-slit skirt, diaphanous silk hose and low shoes-step from a street car, he noted one ankle wa shapely while the other was distorted and unshapely, and that under the silken covering of the ankle was a silver object, pearl handled and heavy, which he finally made out to be a re- volver.
 As she crossed the stret the of ficer approached the girl and demand ed her reason for carrying a revolver She indignantly refused to explain or to make any statements regarding herself. Marlow placed her under ar rest and took her to police headquar- ters.

LOS ANGELES TIMES
 D|STORTS YUMA NEWS

The Los Angeles Times in it's dis play of honesty toward anything en- anating from Yuma, tel-s tho world at large that Maricopa county, Ari- zona, has voted half a million dollars | for roads, notwithstanding the fact that the Yuma Examiner goes d liy to he desk of the Times editor, and on the front page of which, over the heading is displayed in large type: YUMA CARRIES HALF MILLION DOLLAR BOND ISSUE FOR GOOD ROADC'
 Misinformation of this character is carried to an extreme by the Los An geles Times in most everything that pertains to Yuma progress, and it is not only recently that Yuma citizens have been compelled to suffer from it.
 News that is so distorted is of no value to the public who must eventu- ally lose confidence in any newspa- Der resorting to such tactics for no better reason than that the Times editor and directors own few million dollars of interests in the Imperial valley
 Just why the Times prefers to boost Maricopa county in it's desire to hurt Yuma is hard for the average man to see; but of this fact there is no question, and hasn't been any for many, many years.
 In this particular instance Mari copa county will probably not appre- ciate the transformation, as that county is planning a million dollars flor roads. And Yuma simply led the way, and is justly entitled to hon. est newspaper publicity.

WOMAN LOSING HER MODESTY

In the estimation of Rev. Charles Fitzwilliams pastor of Baptist church in Pittsburg, the daughters of Eve are rapidly losing all thoughts of modesty, q would rather seen woman going about the streets naked" says the reverend gentleman, than dressed in the styles they wear today"
 Rev. Fitzwilliams goes even further in his eXcoriation of the prevailing feminine styles and ayers that those styles are largely responsible for the prevalence of immortality. He says:
 "Woman formerly was decent, but since the new styles have come in, such as the hobble skirt, the diaphan- Ous gown, the peek-a-boo waist and the tight skirt, displaying to the pub lie every line of a woman's body the former modesty on woman's part has become a travesty.
 Girls who make their living by working are lured to destruction by the new styles Into the stores come the wealthy and the others, dressed in these indecent garments. The poor girl sees them, craves, them, and, to get them, falls D
 It must be humiliating to those members of the fair sex who are ad- dicted to the extremes of modern fashion to go up against such criti- cism of their action. But the admon- tions and suggestions of the preacher are not a circumstance to the remarks that are heard upon the streets fol lowing the appearance of a woman thus arrayed. And while indecent re- marks may be lacking in some instan- ces, indecent thoughts are present, and with woman thus appealing pub licly to the debasing passions of man. kind, it is not surprising that immorali- ty grows and spreads while men of the old school are grieved over the loss of femine modesty.
 A brazen woman is not the kind of woman the conscientious man either seeks or admires. He may view the charms so promiscuously displayed, he will be long time making up his mnd to choose such a woman as the queen of his household and the moth CT of his children.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. G. Arrangements are practically complet- ed for the blowing up next wek of GambOa dike, which will mean the flooding of Culebra cut and the prac- tical completoin of the water connec- tion between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Gamboa is a grea artificial embankment at the northern end of the famous Culebra cut. It was erect ed to prevent the waters of the Char- gres river and of Gatun Lake, created artificially by impounding the waters of the Chagres river, from flowing into the Culebra cut while the exca- vating work was going on there. This dike is nearly 1000 feet long, 4S.2 feet high, 1S3 fet wide at the base and 6 feet wide at the top.

LOS ANGELES HOTEL
 HAS STRANGE RULING

A story is told of Yuma business man who entered the lobby of one of the Los Angeles so-called swell hotels without a coat and was inform ed that the rules forbid it. What he told the hotel clerk wouldn't do to publish, but it was, in effect, that women were permitted to enter the lobby almost without any clothes, ac- cording to the latest style, and the rules were silent.
 It so happened that the Yuma cit izen had no coat with him and Ina ln worn one all summer, though dressed in the best of clothes and perfectly proper anywhere where just plain common sense prevails.
 The Yuma business man paid his bill at once and promised not to go back to that hotel, and if people gen. erally would do likewise, such horse play would soon cease.

The Fl Centro Progress says:

The El Centro Progress says:
 A great big fine looking man sit ting at a small table picking at cot ton bolls fresh from the field, comb ing out the cotton with a little moustache comb and tying the flores in small punches to be placed on a card.
 Is he-all right? You bet he's all right. That's Argyle McLachian As sistant in Crop Acclimatization. He is paid by Uncle Sam for this job and he is doing it well. H isn't just combing cotton-he is putting dol lars on the value of every acre of cotton land in Imperial valley.
 His little table is in the office of the Imperial Valley Cotton Growers Exchange It happened that when the Progress man saw him he was deftly going over samples of cotton from Harold Bell Wright's place at MeIo- land. Why does he comb cotton? To get the length of the fibre. The seed is selected from cotton of the longest fibre for next years planting.
 The fibre in the plants from MT. Wrights place ranged in length from one and three-sixteenth to one and one-fourth inches. They were of fine quality but perhaps would have been more even had MT. Wright been able to give cotton culture his persona! attention throughout the summer
 MT. MacLachlan has been with the department of agriculture for nine years. Most of the time he has been working with cotton. He is engaged in "Selecing the Fittest" in order that it may survive He is adding to the

value of the land by selecting seed
 that will produce a more even and
 longer fibre.
 The selection of long, staple cotton
 seed is fancy industry. It pays bet ter than the short staple variety. A
 difference of one-siXteenth of an inch will make a big difference in the price the rancber receives for his crop.
 MT. MacLachlan says: "We do not yet realize what the value of cotton is to this valley, bu it has come to stay. Because of freedom from rain and the lack of cotton disease we can get more fancy grade than is possi- ble in the South.
 Importance in the selection of the seed is shown in the history of Me bane cotton in Texas. This is a short staple variety, but Mebane, because of the excellence and purity of his seed, gets $2.50 per bushel, or $50 per ton for it.
 "Only seed known to b e pure should be preserved this fall for cot ton planting in 1914. All mixed Du- rango or long staple cotton seed should be sent to the oil mill or oth- erwise destroyed. u is absolutely es- sential to the success of the long staple cotton industry that only seed known to be pure should be preserv ed for planting.
 Most ready sale for Durango cot ton will be promoted through an ex- change. By selling it trough an eX- change it is probable that the grower may gain several dollars more per bale in the sale of his cotton

RURAL MAIL CARRIER
 MARRIED AT SHELBY

William H. Dickinson, our fellow. citizen and Uncle Sam's faithful mail carrier on Rural Route No. 1, was married Sunday at Seeley, Califor- nia, to Miss Margaret s. Priest, who is quite we'll known here and has a homestead on the mesa.
 They are deserving of much joy in their future welded life. Both have been married before, death having severed their former happily married lives some years ago.
 Mr. Dickinson is a Yuma pioneer, having first settled in Eastern Yuma county, in the Palomas valley, in the early sos, and has always been con- sidered a substantial factor in the de- velopment of Yuma valley.
 The happy couple will dwell at the groom's ranch home on Somerton road, Yuma valley, and will receive friends after October 15.

The Imperial Valley Press says:
 This is proving to be one of the years of greatest profit for valley dairymen, and as a result of this and the abundance of feed at present, many persons are finding difficulty in getting COWS which they wish to buy.
 Ths is in spite of the continued inn portation of dairy stock, which ths season is as heavy as in the previous year. Many cows have been brought over the mountains and others have been shipped in by train, and yet, with great natural increase in the herds, there is a scarcity.

THE HORN OF IMPATIENcE

For blocks around the neighbors know
 when Pa and Ma are going out, An just how long Ma takes to dress
 they know each time beyond
 doubt:
 An how impatient Pa can be they know, every night an morn He goes an gets the car an then he
 calls her on the Klaxon horn. At first he signals Here I am," an
 sits while in peace, an then He presses that old buzzer down an
 signals Here I am' again. An then Ma yells to one of us "For
 goodness sake, he'll wake the town, Go tell him, please, to stop that noise
 for in a minute I'll be down." Pa sits a little longer there in silence,
 then his fingers slip
 To where the Klaxon button is, an
 gives the horn an awful zip; There never was Hurry up" said
 plainer in the world than that, An Ma says: Listen to that man!
 Here, one of you, hand me my hat!" By this time Pa is mad all through, as
 even passers-by can tell, An now the horn goes "Grr! Orr! Grr!"-a sign of Pas impatient spell, An things he'd never say in speech an words that he has. never sworn He hurls at Ma when he gets sore, by footing on that Klaxon horn. Pa couldn't rifle Ma quite so much the times these short delays occur If he should come righ tout an say the things she knows he toots at her. She says she's sure that it would rifle the sweetest woman ever born To have a man outside the door who's swearing at her through a horn. Edward A. Guest, in Detroit Free Press, September IT, 1913.
