The bear went in quest of adven-

self and placed a paw upon the first
rosspiece of the iron grating which
eparated his pen from the one add
joining, in which the grizzly, the
largest in the zoo, was confined.
The visiting Bruin looked inquisi-
lively toward the top and then COM
menced to mount, stopping at every
round To regard inquiringly the four
black bears which he had left below.
From the other side of the grating
the grizzly regarded the approach
with disapproyal.
The bear reached the top and
paused to take account OF his exploit
With conscious satisfaction. Then IL
lost its balance and a moment later
fell TO the cement floor OF the gri2-

QUIT RAISING COTTON,
ADVICE OF FIG MERCHANT
Vote California Dry

Holtville Tribune: Farmers of the
Imperial Valley should quit cotton
temporarily next year and raise food
stuffs, for which there will be an enor-
NOUS demand, declares j. H. Edgar,
manager of Edgar Brothers Company
who has just returned from an ex-
tensivc trip through the eastern
states.
"We of the Imperial Valley are no,
compelled to depend on cotton, or any
other product" he said "The Euro
pean war has so shaped affairs that
we ara unable to move the cotton crop
just now, but this is an extraordinary
condition. 1t should be a beneficial
lesson to our ranchers.
''In the immediate future our farm.
ers will devote their time and energy
to other lines Of agriculture-food
stuffs horses, mules, cattle and hogs
War will stimulate the demand for
all of these. There already is no.

HOBSON STIRS COAST
ON THE BOOZE ISSUE

Los Angeles, Oct 26.--Three large
audiences were addressed here yes
terday by Captain Richmond Pear
son Hobson, in the course of his tour
in the interests of the "dry" cam
paign. In the morning he made the
bleachers of the University of South
ern California athletic field his audi
toriumtorium. In the afternoon he
spoke at Long Beach and tonight he
spoke at Temple auditorium.
81 am not going to take up the
question as to wether or not the state
should be dry during the 1915 expo
sition," said Captain Hobson, "but l
am going to say that San Francisco
could do herself no greater harm than
to achieve the reputation she has
throughout the world of being loose
in her morals.
"Since' coming here many persons
have mentioned the grape-growing and
wine industry to me. | wonder if
most people know that 80 per cent
of the wine industry is controlled by
trust, which strives constantly to
put Up prices to the consumer and to
hold them down to the producer.
Many grape growers are paid as low
as 81 a ton.
"Why do these growers not turn
their grapes into grape juice, which
is wanted by the entire world and
which is not and never can be con-
trolled by a trust.
81 have been told that the state
needs the revenue which liquor pays.
That revenue amount to about $2,-
100000 year. And what does it
cost the state in return?
"In actual money it costs the state
$29,000,00O. And then think of the
rauperism and insanity which re-
suit.
"This is not question for Califor-
MIA alone, but nationwide question.
Do YOU know that great portion of
the money used to fight prohibition
in California is sent here from the
East ?"
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-27

Southern producers will carry over
20 to 40 per cent of their cotton. It
therefore behooves the Imperial ranch
ers TO play safe for next year and
raise other crops--stuff that does not
have TO be sent to Europe to be manu-
factured.
Eve may have few more months
of depression, but after that good
times.
"As to our firms business, taking
the year as a whole, there has been
a slight increase over last year. Up
till last May it was far in excess of
normal. What we can't pay for, we
don't buy. The farmers should do
likewise; then when an extraordinary
stringency occurs they won't feel it
like they do when it catches them un-
prepared"

(By C. X. McClatchy, Jr.)

The Legislatures of 1911 and 1913,
inspired by the theory of Hiram w.
johnson that Labor should receive its
just consideration, passed many laws
beneficial to workingmen and working
women, besides the more striking ones
Of Workmen's Compensation, Eight
Hour Law for Women and those meas
ures providing for the prompt pay
ment of wages.
Laws Carefully Scrutinized.
Many more labor laws were intro
duced in those two sessions of the
Legislature than were passed. There
was : careful winnowing that oppres-
sive and unjust laws upon employers
might not be passed under the guise
of giving Labor the rights long kept
from it.
As consequence, the laws that
were enacted are fair and only give
Labor rights so obviously belonging
to it, that only knowledge of the
strength of the old political machine
which dominated this State makes
understandable the long refusal to
pass those measures.
Gave State Good Laws.
These Legislatures gave the Work
mems Compensation Law to the State
whereby injuries received at toll are
compensated for by the business in
which the laborer is engaged. They
passed the Eight Hour law for
Women, reducing the long. hours of
women in this State. They passed
vario1s wage bills, making the prompt
payment of wages enforceable by law
Going still deeper, however, into
the working conditions of Labor these
Legislatures took up the question of
providing worl1ingmen with the proper
protection of safety, just considera-
ton which had never received any
consideration by former Legislatures.
Besides providing for compensation
through the Workmen's Compensation
Law, accidents were prevented by
Passing laws prohibiting dangerous
practices on the part of employers.
Full Train Crew Bill.
One of the most prolific sources OF
train wrecks are insufficient crews and
long hours.
A Full Train Crew Bill, providing
for a sufficient number of men for
each train that it might be properly
controlled in all emergencies, had
Teen urged in this State time and
again before 1911.
Bill Vetoed Before.
Such a measure passed the Legis-
lature in 1909, but was promptly
vetoed by Governor Gillett The
trainmen and those interested in the
Imperial Valley press., 1914-10-27
BlackIisting Prohibition.

The blacklisting of workingman
for his political or other affiliations
among firms or associations is pro-
li.bited, thus stopping the unjust habit
of large corporations maintaining a
secret list of workingmen passed
around with instructions not TO hire
such men.
Occupational Diseases Reported.
The Legislature also made it com
pulsory upon doctors to report any
cases of diseases arising from the
nature Of a workingInan's employment
that such data may be gathered to
abate those unhealthy conditions.
Lanoring Camps Made Sanitary.
