Cuba and certain other of the West
Indies are also large purchasers. The
value of the bituminous coal exported
from the United States to Canada in
the eight months ending with August
was S21, 100000. Most of the coal
passing out of the country naturally
leaves by the northern border ports.
Of the S25 100000 worth of anthracite
coal exported in the fiscal year 1918,
more than S22,0O0,0O0 worth passed
through the northern border ports,
while of the $4O,o00,O00 worth of BIZ
luminous exported about two-thirds
passed through the northern border
ports. The United States now occu
pies third place in the list of coal
countries of the world, the
coal exports of the United Kingdom
for the calendar year 1912 having been
s5,00O,00O tons, those of Germany
S9,O0O,O00 tons and the United States
26,5OO,0O0 tons.

Afflicted Genius

Walt Mason.
No wonder that Sir Walter Raleigh
was filled with grief and melanchol-
eigh, as he sat in his cell; his country
owed him for her glory, as you will
know who read this story-he served
her passing we'll. And yet his vain,
besotted ruler took Walt and chucked
him in the cooler, and fed him stale
rye bread; James said he was a Med
ding Matty, and kept him there till
nearly batty, and then cut off his
head. And who can think of old Jack
Bunyan as he sat eating bread and
onion, or paced the prison yard, with
out desiring, teeth a-grittin', to take
a poke at keartless Britain, for
scourging sage and bard? And Brit
ain still is quite dinger at persecut-
ing sage and singer, as Harry Kemp
avows; he Travelled there for local
color, and Britain, stupider and dull

er than any law allows, remarked:
"For bards we have no uses, but we
have divers calabooses, and heaps of
stone to break" Then she removed
the poets sweater and fixed him with
a rusty fetter and chained him to a
stake. Oh, Britain, dour and stony
hearted, through all the years your
bards have smarted beneath your iron
fist; but, when you cast your tyrant
glances upon a hatless poet from
Kansas, it's time for war, / wist!

The Prevention of Snoring

New York American: Snoring is a
nuisance even to those who indulge
in this habit. When any one snores
his mouth is usually open, his tongue
and cheeks become dry, the palate
says and flaps in the pulmonary
breeze, the tonsils and other throat
tissues begin to bulge, swell and often
become chronically enlarged, and
germs, microbes and all sorts of lurk-
ing disease parasites find their way
into the yawning cavern.
Snoring has been the bare of the
physician and the torment of its vic
tim. OF the legion Of preventives,
treatments and alleged cures, not one
has yet fulfilled its promise. New
methods arise and old antisnoring
remedies are forgotten, but the snore,
like the poor, hangs around forever.
With this fact we'll in mind F. Her
sing, a Prussian peasant of Kreuz-
mack, Germany, has been for some
time experimenting with various de-
vices that are intended to put an end
to the snore. Snoring around the
Kreuznach region of Germany is so
epidemic that it is said that the
goose girls returning home late at
night and starting forth early in the
morning are commonly deceived by
the snores of the villagers there
abouts. This confusion is at times
so great that many village sleeper
is awakened by goose girl, who
mistakes his snore for an escaping
duck or goose.
The snore of the average Kreuznach
inhabitant has true Nibelungen mo-
tive in it. That is to say, it sounds
like the same measured staccato of
the quack, quack, quack of duck or
goose.
Hoping to reap an appropriate re-
ward for a method of relieving the
peasants from their snores, Herr Her
sing has taken out patent for a
"snore preventer." 1t comprises a
chin support shaped not unlike horse
collar, with a trough-like projection
into which the chin fits snugly. 1t
laces at the back of the neck like a
belt.
The support thus given to the chin
not only tends to keep the mouth
closed, but keeps the tongue from
sagging and obstructing the free
passage of air-all causes of snoring.

Secretary HOustOn's Warning

Washington Post: Secretary Hous-
ton in his speech at Manchester,
N. H., sounds a note of warning that
should be needed by the country at
large as well as by congress when he
says that we as nation are suffering
the penalties of too great ease of liv-
ing The story that comes from every
agricultural section, he says, is sub
stantially the same; it is story of
increasing tenancy and absentee own
ership; of soils depleted and exploit
ed; of Inadequate business methods;
of lack of supervision; of isolated and
ill organized social activities, and of
inferior intellectual provision.
The address made by Mr.. Houston
is not the result of superficial study.
1t goes into the problem so deeply that
many of our illusions are shattered.
1t is not fattering picture that the
secretary of agriculture paints. 1t is
better, however, that the facts should
be met frankly and fully, and that the
country should not delude itself into
believing that it can continue safely
in the present loose course of action.
81 am not of the pessimists," said
Secretary Houston, "and / do not en-
tertain the thought for second that
we have approximated the limit of our
output from the soil. AS a matter of
fact, we have just begun to attack
the problem. We have not even
reached the end of the pioneering
stage, and have only in a very few To-
calities developed conditions where
maximum returns may be secured
But we have Enthusiastically reached
the period where we must think and
plan and work. We can no longer
rely on the bounty of nature. There
are evidences that providence is ceas-
ing its protective supervision of fools
and Americans. Conditions are emerg
ing which if not fundamentally dealt
with will lead us into serious embar.
rassments. 1t is well for us to face
the facts and get our bearings"
The country needs to have these
truths pointed out. 1t needs to bs
shown whore it has been derelict. The

Democrats Want BledsOe

San Bernardino Sun: A statewide
campaign, moving quietly but with
precision, on the part of the Democra-
cy to force Judge Benjamin F. Bled-
soc of San Bernardino to become the
party's candidate for governor in the
1914 election is we'll under way. 1t
began several months ago and has
now assumed proportions that have
brought it from beyond the portals
of quiet conferences of leading Demo-
Gratis.
Judge Bledsoe is the first mentioned
in list of three possible candidates
b. committee named to start the
campaign in Southern California. The
Los Angeles county central committee
has made the announcement of the
opening of the lists, and special
committee for the purpose offers the
names of Judge Bledsoe, George S.
Patton and NJ. P. Snyder, both of Los
Angeles.
The National Democracy wants Cal
ifornia within the column of Demo-
cratic states in 1914, and every effort
is being made to lead Judge Bledsoe
away from his ambition to become
federal judge in the new district that
congress is expected to create, and
place him at the head of the Demo-
cratic ticket in California, where his
partisans declare he is badly needed.
The northern end of the state is
Democratic, the south alone saving
the state for johnson against Bell
three years ago this month. Judge
Bledsoe probably stands as the high
est in reputation and acquaintanceship
of any Democrat in the south, and is
also we'll known in the north For
several years the Democracy has re-
peatedly recognized Judge Bledsoe,
and he has been brought forth to meet
and introduce every Democratic states
man Of note who has come west.
The Democracy is figuring, because
Of the heavy Republican vote in the
south, to pick its strongest southern
Democrat as the gubernatorial candi-
date.
If Judge Bledsoe accepts the de-
mand that he run for governor, it will
be at the sacrifice of his ambition to
wear the ermine of the federal court,
life position. Friends say his am
bition to sit on the supreme bench of
California, 12-year term, may be
equally as strong. The governorship
might lead to it

trouble with the people of the United
States is that they have had such an
abundance of opportunities and riches
that they have contented themselves
with taking the cream. Because we
have won so much so easily, we are
unwilling to work for what remains.
There is need now for the formulation
of fundamental policies such as Mr..
Houston suggests.

Getting Rid of Our Coal

Bradstreet's: Coal exports from the
continental United States in the year
ending next month will approximate
100000, 200, against less than half
that sum decade ago. This estimate,
based upon figures for eight months
of the current year just completed by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce,
indicates that the value of domestic
coal sent to foreign countries in the
full year will approximate $70,O00,-
900, that supplied to vessels engaged

A Word With
Business Men
Of the Valley

Many of the leading busi-
ness houses of Imperial Valley
make a practice of sending
their job printing to outside
points. 1t is believed that
fully one-half of all CONNER
cial printing, including loose
leaves for ledgers and station
cry, is purchased outside the
valley.

The Press has heretofore not
made a vigorous campaign for
job printing. The management
has concentrated it's efforts on
the newspaper end of its work,
but the Press Office has now
been fully reorganized. 1t has
by far the most complete equip
ment in the valley for all
kinds of job printing and is
prepared to do the work
promptly and efficiently.

GOOD TIMES ARE HERE.

We have travelled some thousands of miles during the past two weeks observing crop and business conditions, visiting farmers, bankers, manufac- turers, merchants and working men. Everywhere there seems to be a feel ing of confidence.
 F'alF business is opening up quite as well as usual, in some lines better. Plans for winter and spring are being made confidently and on a larger and more comprehensive scale. This is not only true of the progressive and weII-to-do farmers, breeders and grain and cotton growers, but it is also true of manufacturers and distributors. Higher prices for grain and other crops bid fair to compensate for any shortages due to the late drouth in certain comparatively limited areas.
 The central, western and southern states are full of vim and energy. In the American Northwest a veritable boom is indicated. The South is walk ing up wonderfully, and the diversif1- cation Of her agriculture and the de- veIopment of her live stock and dairy industries are making notable strides.
 The deposit of millions of govern ment money among the banks in the crop moving sections is having a ben efcial effect. Even New York. city is emerging from t'the dumps,i while New England realizes that good times are coming for her manufactured pro- ducts.-N. B. Homestead.
