RABIES GROWING
MENACE IN STATE

Sacramento, July 28.-"Rabies i:
still increasing in California, as is
shown by the enlargement of the area
involved and the increase in the num-
her of cases." is the report of Dr.
Donald H. Currie Of the state board
of health.
DR.. ]. G. Geiger, chief bacteriologist
Of the state board, has examined the
brains of 322 dogs and found 27g

beings have been bitten and 234 ami

Rules for Swimmers.

Rochester Union and Advertiser:
A doctor who was asked yesterday to
explain why persons should not bathe
after a heavy meal, replied:
"For the simple reason that the
stomach is congested and a sudden
shock to the system may result ia
tally. Blood flows to the stomach aft
er a meal, and there. is secretion
of the gastric juices in the mucous
membrane lining of the organ to
bring about digestion. Naturally, it
is congested, and the sudden chilling
of the surface of the skin may have
serious results. 1t is also unwise to
bathe while overheated, exhausted
from exercise or shivering. 1t is "A
good idea for even expert swimmers
to avoid bathing in quiet or secluded
spots, for no one is entirely free of
the danger from cramps, etc. If
seized with a cramp the swimmer
should not lose his presence of mind,
but should turn on his back and rub
the affected part vigorously. If the
oramp is in the leg, kick vigorously
for one of the worst possible things
to do with cramp is to nurse it,"

Marvellous Golf Playing by "Gil"
Nichols.

In the August American Magazine
Jerome d. Travers, amateur golf
champion of the United States, writes
an article full of inspiring stories en-
titled "Wonder Shots that Won Golf
Championships. Following is one of
the many stories he tells:
"The effect of one good shot or
one bad shot is often startling. In
the Metropolitan Open Championship
feld at Englewood in 1911, Gilbert
Nichols was playing his last nine
holes. He got a four on the tenth,
playing at only a steady clip up
through here. The eleventh hole there
is 400 yards along. Nichols put away
a good drive, and on his second shot
used mid-iron. The ball started on
9 line for the cup, and second later
a shout came from those around the
green. He had holed in two from 160
yarls away! From that point no golfer
that ever lived could have touched
him. He finished the nine in thirty,
breaking all previous records by two
strokes and winning the champion
ship in walk After that one two
he picked up two other holes in two,
playing with such confidence that it
seemed as if he couldn't miss

Long Discussion Over
Problem of the River

Another meeting was held last
evening to discuss the problem of riv-
er control. l.. J. Thomas of Imperial
president of the Imperial Vallev
Chamber of Commerce, who was in
Los Angeles, was asked to a confer
ence with Stoddard Jess of the First
National Bank of that city, a few
days since, at which Mr.. Jess urged
the Importance of the valley making
an effort to get an immediate ap,
rropriation from congress for pro-
tective works, and Mr.. Thomas ar
ranged for the meeting at the Ore.
gon hotel last evening of the direc-
tors of the chamber, and came to the
valley to attend it.
On reaching the valley Mr.. Thom-
as heard for the first time of the
meeting held Monday night, at which
the proposal of the CM comapny was
made.
At the meeting last night, Mr..
Thomas said Mr. Jess had said nothing,
to him of a proposal other than to
get direct appropriation from con-
gress for river control, but Mr.. Jess
had said Los Angeles would send two
of it's best men to Washington to
work for the appropriation, and he
was sure San Diego, Riverside, San
Bernardino, Redlands and other towns
in San Bernardino would join with
us in getting an appropriation.
Mr.. Thomas was sure Mr.. Jess had
q sincere desire to aid the general
welfare of the valley, in which his
bank has big interests, and Mr.. Thom-
as further expressed his own opinion
that it is of the utmost Importance
that the work of controlling the river
be taken up at the earliest possible
date.
One of the most important features
of tn. long discussion was series
of statements made by President Ham
ilton of the irrigation district. He
said this statement from Mr.. Jess was
of very serious nature, and an en-
tirely different matter from that sub
mitted by the G ~ -Tssesopfe .--',4S read
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-30

q series of kilograms and letters
from Congressman Kettncr and Sec
retary Lane, expressing great doubt
of the practicability of getting an
appropriation from congress at the
present session, but expressing the
belief that an appropriation could be
obtained at the next session, beginning
in December.
Mr.. Hamilton said he did not be-
ieve an effort to get an appropri-
alton now would injure the district
or affect the bond issue, but in view
Of the advice in the letters referred
to, the directors had been averse to
going to Washington at this time to
urge an appropriation. He said, how
ever, he thought it would be better
to get the appropriation now if that
were possible.
Speaking of the plans for meeting
the next flood, Mr.. Hamilton said the
directors figured that the district
could raise nearly a quarter of mil
lion dollars by taxation, and this would
enable the district to put in tempo
rary works that would control the
river for two or three years.
j. J. Simmons offered a motion that
the whole matter be referred to the
irrigation district directors, and
urged that no action be taken on the
matter of river control by the Cham
Der of Commerce. The point was
raised that this was a meeting of the
directors of the Chamber of Com
merce, of which Mr.. Simmons was
not member, and the motion was not
entertained.
On motion of Philo Jones, however,
the directors adjourned to meet at
e Tuesday afternoon, the same hour
at which the directors of the irriga-
ton district will meet, and it is pre-
sumed there will be joint confer
ence.
Meanwhile Mr.. Thomas will meet
Mr.. Jess, taking with him copies OF
the telegrams and letters from Con-
gressman Kettner and Secretary Lane,

Unable to Meet Issues,
Resort to Vituperation

San Francisco, July 30.-Mud and
poisoned arrows, vituperation and de-
liberate falsehood are the weapons
with which the enemies of Progress
sive government hope to defeat Gov
ernor Hiram w. Johnson for re-eiec-
ton and return the Old Guard of pol
itics to power again in California.
A general agreement of all reac-
t;onaries to this method of campaign
has become obvious the past few weeks
in the venomous and universal assault
upon the Johnson administration of
ether candidates for governors and
the newspapers which wear the lead
ing strings of the "public-be damned
corporations.
Governor Johnson is before the peo-
ple of California as candidate
squarely upon his record as governor
Chat record embraces the fulfillment
OF every promise made in 1910 and
every item in the platform upon
whim he ran. 1t is a record In
achievement of government for the
people that has commanded the atten-
ton, wonder and admiration of the en-
tire United States.
The candidates and newspapers who
are fighting Johnson have not the har.
Ghood to take up plain, straight
away issue with the governor upor
the things he has done in office. How
ever much in their secret hearts they
might desire it, they dare not say
they will repeal the workmen's com
pensation law, the eight-hour law fol

Cotton OutlOOk-T. ID. Mccall has
returned from trip which took him
through every one of the cotton
states and most of the northern
states. He says that all through the
cotton country the crop is very IL
regular, having developed thus far by
local showers, and in some spots the
crop is an entire loss, while near by
will be another spot with good crop.
This is why the government has
placed the crop at IA, against 81
last year at the same time, while
there is shortage of 100000 acres.
This he looks upon as most favorable
for good prices this year.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-30

women, equal suffrage, or that they
will blot out the railroad commission
and the board of control.
These are the things the Johnson
administration has done and upon
which the governor stands as a can
uidate.
And because the rival candidates
and the hostile newspapers cannot
stand up to Governor Johnson and
say straight from the shoulder "Tho
things you are for we are against, u
they have plotted conspiracy of
mud singing and villification.
They cannot defeat johnson on his
record, and so they will throw dust
in the eyes of the voters; they will
hurl vicious personalities; they will
try to whisper johnson to death with
lies.
They have hired newspaper mar
at Sacramento to weave the magic of
his smoke-inspired dreams into fic'
titious assault upon the governor. A
string of newspapers throughout tht
state receive these vaporings of SUI
perheated Imagination and print then
as the truth.
This mud-slinging bureau of new:
was established and is being main
tanned for the single purpose of manu-
featuring miasma out of thin bu
polluted air and sending it forth a'
news.
One such story, narrative with
cut a shred of verify, was published
last week by the Los Angeles Times
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-30

and San Francisco Chronicle. 1t sale
that Colonel Roosevelt would not at
tend the Commercial Congress in Sac
Iramento because Governor johnson
scratched his name from the list of in.
vitations.
The story was Immediately brand
ed by the governor and the managers
Of the Commercial Congress as ut
terly false and unfounded. The gov
ernor said:
"Every day De Young, Otis and
spreckels deliberately manufacture
falsenoods, and publish them in their
papers, knowing the publications to be
false.
"The character of the campaign by
which De Young, Otis and Spreckels
expect again to have CALIFORNIA; gov
ernment is plain. Their great papers
and every little sheet that follows
them will publish the grossest and
most outrageous stories to prejudice
where they can, and to befog and be-
cloud the real issues.
"They believe if they can dissent
nate enough falsehoods some of them
will be effective, and that finally so
much outrageous mendacity will be in
jected into the contest that upon every
question people will be involved in
doubt"

Business Men Back Orange Show.

Riverside, July 2S.-The proposition
of holding an orange congress in Riv-
erside in 1915 is being planned by the
Riverside chamber of commerce, as
sisted by all other commercial organi-
cations in Riverside county.
1t is proposed to raise $4,000 fol
the anniversary celebration, which
will mark the introduction of the
Washington navel orange into Cali
fornia.
The first buds were received il
April, forty years ago, by Mrs. Lu-
ther G.. Tibbitts, and from this small
beginning grew an industry now es-
timated in round numbers to involve
$4OO, 100000.
The governments of all orange
growing countries have been invited
to participate in this anniversary cele-
Eration, and assurances already have
Leen received through consuls of then
participation. A spectacular pageant
will be one feature of the congress
which probably will last week.

Panama Book Sale
Is Nearing Its Close

When a little boy at school was
asked the meaning of the word "suf-
frage," he said it meant being sick.
When called upon for further explain
alton, he said his mother complained
of suffering and his father said 1t
was because she was a suffragette.
Speaking of suffragettes, the big
interoceanic waterway is sure to be-
come political topic, and all women
who are interested should get all the
information possible upon the sub
ject.
AS has been mentioned several times
recently, the Imperial Valley Press
must bring its great Panama distri-
button to a close, as there is no
chance to get another edition of this
great reference work and the books
on hand will soon be gone.
While parents will want the book
Tor themselves, they also must not
lose sight of the fact that the school
child of today is the one that will
face the problems presented by the
changed conditions of the future,
when the canal shall have become a
working factor among the nations of
the earth. So the children, as well as
the older members of the family,
should have access to this standard
work; should learn Of the wonders of
this gigantic engineering achievement;
should study the characteristics of
these strange people on the zone;
should know of the history, purpose
and promise of this mighty interoce-
&nic waterway.
Such a book should be in the hands
Of every school child, as well as in
every home and business office in this
city. The certificate on another page
will explain how to get it.
