DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
WORKOUT Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
are greatly to be feared at this time
of the year.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
mia, 1t is important to drive the last
traces of it out of the system quickly.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepare
tion without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg,
Va. says: Grippe left me weak, run
down and with severe cough, from
which l suffered four years. tried
different remedies but nothing seemed
to do me any good until l took Vinol,
from which I received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone, and
l am strong and we'll again, and I am
glad to recommend Vinol to others
who suffer as l did"
Try Vinol with the certainty
that IL it does not benefit
you we will give back your money.

SELECTION OF ATTORNEY
MAY PRESENT PROBLEM

When the directors of the irrigation
district come TO select an attorney at
their meeting Tuesday il is possible
there will he considerable difficulty eX-
pcrienced
There has been a demand for some
time thai the directors select resident
uf the valley, and in undertaking this
Task there is the difficulty of getting 6
man who has knowledge of conditions
familiarity with irrigation laws and the
confidence of the people Of the entire
valley, II is felt by the directors that
they must not simply get a man in
whom they will have confidence, bul
one in whom the people will repose
cong.lence, for in The end the measures
which the board will adopt must b.
submitted to the public vote.
Ii is possible this question may not
come to a direct issue at the meeting,
but that il will be raised now seems
certain.
Those who are urging this action
take the ground that the attorney for
the district should be in the valley
where he can be subject to call al
any moment for consultation The pres
ent attorney, Judge Haines, is a resi-
dent of San Diego.

had very narrow escape yesterday
afternoon when Mr. Edgar's large
standardization car was struck by a
gasoline car near DiXieland.
The two gentlemen were riding quite
rapidly when they came to cross The
railroad. Just before reaching the
tracks they discovered the gasoline
ear bearing down on them at a high
rate of speed, and threw on the
brakes.
This served to stop the car with the
front wheels on the track just in time
TO be struck and without time for the
men to jump.
Fortunately, the auto was not over
turned, but skidded along under the
impact for a number Of feet, and while
several hundred dollars damage was
done to the automobile and some dam

ENGINEERS FINISH SURVEY

Engineers Anderson, Hahn and Tur-
ner have returned from the survey of
the line from the government canal Of
the Laguna dam system through to the
valley, and now have a mass OF figures
to digest before making their report to
the directors Of the irrigation district.
While they were on this work they
were joined by Directors Hamilton,
Ferguson and Pound, who went over
part of the route with them.
The object Of the survey was TO
determine the possibility Of construct
ing an all-American route for a new
canal to bring water to the valley,
matter which has been discussed for
several years and on which several en-
glneers have passed informally as i'm
practicable, without having made a

CATTLE MEN REJOICING ~
OVER THE GROWING FEED

There is no happier set OF men in
the valley today than those who have
cattle to feed. This applies equally to
the darymen and the beef cattle men.
There never was a time when feed
came forward more rapidly than it is
now doing. and the shortage of pas
turc. which prevailed for some time,
has become almost completely thing
Of the past.
From this time on. untile next Win
ter at any rate, there is no danger OF
any more complaint along this line
Then the great quantity of alfalfa
next winter there should be no COM
plant.
Present prospects on the coast are
for steady Improvement in the hay and
pasture situation there, which means
the demand for valley hay will grad
ually decline down to normal condi-
tions, and the shipments from the val
ley this year will probably not be SO
great as last year.
As an offset to this, there is a ma
tural increase of about 30 per cent in
the number of dairy cows in the valley.
and il is not probable that importatons
will entirely cease. This increase will
in great part offset the increased pro-
duction of hay. but there is no pros
pect that the supply will overbalancc
the demand.
1t is a most healthy state of affairs
that exists, and rejoicing prevails
''m"ng the cattle men everywhere.

PURSUING FARM WORK

Pursuing farm work, not merely
doing it, is the zest of the life of
the farmer. The mastered Difficult
ties and the correct solutions fail
to interest and stimulate. 1t, is the.
unattained that gives us JOY and
gives the brilliant hue to our hori-
zon. BY divine ordination we are
explorers, examiners, seekers, in
quirers; if the time should come
when we cease to strive, when we
acknowledge that we have all and
know all that we desire, and ask
not to be disturbed, we should pray
to be delivered from a living death:
the world does not need US longer.
If we have a single desire not yet
satisfied, if we have questions yet
unanswered, if our minds turn to-
ward an unexplored field with the
desire Of improvement, if our hands
ache to till the soil, to prune the
old orchard, to plant the young
trees, to paint the house, to repair
the broken gate, to make beautiful
the back yard, while there is work
undone that we wish to do, the
farm cannot afford to lose US and
we cannot afford to give up the
farm.
Pursuing the farm work is our
salvation. Civilization constantly
puts before us new objects to be
pursued; as we advance these OBJ
jects become higher and more diff
