RUTZEN'S
WONDER WHEEL
Inventor Has no Stock for Sale
and Says He Has Been Of
fered One Million Dol
lars for Right.

[ United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-"Tm not !
seeking money; I have no stock for
sale; have the goods"
SO declared A. G. Rutzen, OF Cleve-
land, Ohio, today to a United Press
correspondent regarding his invention
the spring motor Rutzen is here to
ary power plant.
II have plenty Of money he de-
clared. The best PROOF of the practi-
cability of the motor is that have no
stock for sale. On the other hand
have a bonafide offer of S1,00o,000
cash for the American rights. Those
who have not actually seen my model
are the only ones who are skeptical.
In this motor the springs are ar
ranged to be protected SO that crystal
ization is prevented. 1t Is not as heavy
as any machine of similar power now
in use Moreover it is dependable.
j AS explained by Inventor Rutzen,
the motor consists of 100 units, 80 Of
which are in use while the other is
1 being rewound The machine con-
sllmes one-third of its power while
! two-thirds Is being distributed. Rutzen
says he will guarantee a years opera
ton without expense. He declared he
already had completed designs for
motor boats, autos. aeroplanes and a
combined type for cooking, heating
and lighting.
I. Rutzen claimed that his motor,
selling for from $500 to $400 will fur.
nish fifty electric lights with current
and do cooking and heating for the
average family. His aeroplane motor
he asserts will develop sixty horse
power with 400 pounds weight.
i Rutzen said today he could apply
his motor to anything from watches te

cars, trying to sleep little as the
train moved along.
Two nights earlier one Rock Island
freight train had almost 300 dead
heads on board, all beating their way,
when it reached Topeka. A Rock ISL
and special officer started at the rear
Of the rtain and herded men off each
car rs he reached it. When he reached
the front end of the train there were
almost 800 men lined up along the
track. When the train started to pull
cut they all climbed back on again.
Nobody raised any objection, dscre-
ton being the better part of valor.
Railroads do not insist very strong
ly upon their trainmen and special
agents keeping harvest hands off their
trains, The wheat must be cut to
furnish freight, and if there are not
enough hands the wheat goes to waste.
And if the harvest hand "bums his
way to the harvest fields, the wheat
lays its way when it is moved by
rail and the railroad is none the loser.

Publication of Prices Enioined.

Chicago, July 18.-An injunction re
straining the Chicago butter and egg
l.oard from publishing prices was
granted by Federal Judge Landis to-
day on application made by the gov
ernment last winter.
The government contended that by
publishing prices on the commodities
the butter and egg board artifcially
created prices higher than the market
warranted and violated the federal
law prohibiting all acts in restraint
Of trade.

Harvesters Ride Free.

Topeka, Kan, July 20.-Harvest
hands are going through Topeka by
the hundreds every day. Compare
lively few of them ride on the pas
senger trains, because of lack)of mon
ey with which to pay fare, but the
freight trains are loaded. On every
freight train which has gone through
Topeka for several days there have
been so many men beating their way
to The harvest fields that the train
men have been unable to cope with
them and have been forced to let
them ride as far as they want to go.
Most of the prospective harvest
hands who have gone through Topeka
have been almost flat broke. Some
have begged their meals and many
have gone hungry rather than beg.
Some do not want to waste the time
it would take to rustic something to
eat and so stay on the trains, tighten
their belts and think of the big meals
rhe wives of the Kansas wheat farm
ers are noted for.
During drenching rain two freight
trains went through the Rock Island
yards, westward bound, each carrying
twenty-five to fifty men beating their
way to the wheat fields. A few of
them crouched between the ends of
the freight cars and let the rain pour
down on them. Others sought shelter
in the few cars that were empty and
unsealed. These were mostly cattle
cars, and through the Slated sides the
deadhead passengers could be seen sit
ting or lying on the floors of the

40 ACRE BUYERS
VISIT INLAND LAND

Touring Imperial Valley in mid
July, sixteen Los Angeles investors
Saturday visited all Of the cities
south of the Third Standard, under the
direction of John d. Reavis, vice pres
ident, and Stanley R. Pratt, sales
manager, of the California Land and
Water Company.
Lured from the seaShore by the
riches of the American Nile, the par
ticipants in the excursion comprised
what is called the 'SiX-Forty inland
Cuba title which refers to the fact
that each of the sixteen members of
the party expects to buy forty acres
in what is known as Section %, south
of inland. They will form a coop
erative colony, with a local improve
ment organization to care for roads
and schools, and each forty-acre tract
will be planted uniformly to a di
.versity of farm and orchard cultures,
including alfalfa and barley and such
fruits as apricots, grapes, olives and
pomegranates, besides small fruits
such as currants, gooseberries and
raspbcrries.
The land will be acquired on long
terms at wholesale prices that range
from $65 an acre, and the whole tract
will be under No. 3 water system.
This cooperative plan has been
worked out by the California Land
and Water Company so as to develop
intensive farming and keep the land
in the hands of real developers. Res
idents of Imperial Valley have been
invited to join the Six-Forty Club and
several went to inland Sunday to in
spect the land, in company with Hol-
brook & Currence, local representa-
tives.
For the first time, on Sunday, the
new international boulevard, between
inland and Calipatria, was thrown
open to travel. This is the last link
Cf the great north and south high
way and will link CaleXico, Ell Cen
tro, Imperial, Brawley and the North
End cities with very good road.
Less than forty minutes will be re-
quired to drive from Calipatria to
the Main Line City, where there are
row under way over seventy different
buildings.

the study they have devoted to its

port issued under date of July 8, from
Consu! w. Henry Robertson of Man
chester, England, this paragraph that
canno7 fail to greatly interest the cot
ton growers Of Ipmerial Valley:
"No port of the United Kingdom is
watching with greater interest than
Manchester the opening of the Panama
canal. AS an instance of this the ca
nal company, under date of January
30, 1914, wrote letter of some twelve
pages to the San Francisco Chamber
Of Commerce setting forth the many
commercial advantages of Manchester
as port for California fruits, canned
goods, timber, grain, oil, etc. The
Panama canal will bring San Fran
cisco nearer to Lancashire by $500
miles. A district that is just now of
special interest here is the one ly-
ing just north of the border line of
Mexico, in Southern California, known
IS the Imperial Valley. 1t has an area
of 100000 acres or more, and is said
to be capable of producing 10000 bales
Of high class cotton per year. Many
districts such as these, both in the
United States and Mexico, are almost
untouched by the cultivator."
