MOST INTERESTING
PIECE OF LITERATURE

When Carl F. Schader came into
the valley six weeks ago on a trip
Of inspection and investigation he
was a regular Socrates for asking
questions. About all you could hear
from him was: IL want facts. want
TO know just what you can do net
per acre with all these products. I'm
not from Missouri, but nevertheless
| want TO be shown; and it is quite
evident that he was shown, because
he has gathered together a quantity
Of facts which in concrete form Civ
= person a coed idea Of what can b..
done here.
Read that question and answer fold
or published under the title of Cali
patria Facts" While Schader has ap-
piled this directly to Calipatria-the
new North End town-still it is ap-
plicable to the whole valley. Every
question is pertinent and every an
swer is based on facts and truth. A
wide distribution of this is hoped for
because its such a big boost for the
whole valley.

WAR MADE ON CIGARETTES:
EDISON AIDS THE BATTLE

Detroit, May s.-Henry Ford, the
automobile manufacturer, has joined
the anti-cigarette army and will help
curb the habit, especially among
young boys.
When Mr.. Ford was in Fort Myers,
Fla, recently on his southern trip
with Thomas A. Edison, a discussion
arose between the two conceTning
the evil of cigarette smoking. When
the inventor returned to his labora.
tory in Orange, n. J.. he wrote let
ter on the matter to Mr.. Ford. Cop
les Of it will be framed at Mr.. Ford's
expense and if School Superintendent
Chadsey agrees they will be hung in
al Detroit public schools. The let
ter is as follows:
Friend Ford: The injurious agent
in cigarettes comes principally from
the burning paper wrapper. The
substance thereby formed is called
'acrolein.' 1t has a violent action on
the nerve centers, producing degenera-
tion of the cells of the brain, which
is quiet rapid among boys. Unlike
most narcotics, this degeneration is
permanent and uncomfortable. | en-
ploy no person who smokes cigar
cites"
Mr.. Ford's theory is that no statute
that can be passed can prevent boy
from smoking if he wants to smoke.
and that most boys become addicted
to the tobacco habit through smoking
igarettes.

Yesterdays Gotten Market.

New York, May TN spite Of ger
orally good map, prices were sus-
tained. Two things explain this
First, the firmness Of July in which
the big people are supposed to be
heavily short, and second, reports of
renewed rains in Texas. The rain
reports came by private dispatches
1t may be as we'll to take these with
a grain of salt, but one thing is sure,
Texas needs several weeks of dry,
warm weather for all the reports go
to show that the season in that state
is from one 10 two weeks late. While
the mornings map showed little ac-
tual precipitation it idicated that the
weather was cloudy over much of the
Southwest. Unless Texas gets very
favorable weather for several weeks
in succession, there is no likelihood
of a setback, as the state is un-
doubtedly several weeks late AMI
needs the best kind of weather. Un-
der these circumstances, the disposi-
ton is quite general'to buy on reac-
tions for a turn.

Princeton. Oct 31-Col Theodore
Roosevelt told the students at Prince

seen the plans OF two empires now in
voIved in the European war to capture
great American seaports and hold them
for ransom.
1T is the country's duty" he said.
ito put itself in such shape that 1t will
be able to defend its rights II they are
invaded. I, myself. have seen the plans
OF at least two empires now involved
in war to capture our great cities and
hold them for ransom because our
standing army Is too weak to protect
them have seen deliberate plans
prepared to take both San Francisco
som that would cripple our country
and give funds to the enemy for carry
ing on war"
Continuing. the former president
said:.
Il hope the time win come when
this country will provide that every
man may have to practice in marks
manship ana some military training.
It IL also my earnest hope that we
shall finally achieve international stat
us by which there shall be a posse
comitatus, when we can combine to
coerce any recalcitrant power: but we
have seen the utter worthiessness OF
scraps Of paper and other treaties that
may be swept aside like dust In a
windy street. A night never was won
by parrying: you've got to hit and not
hit soft. The American people owe II
to themselves to make their hand safe

Washington, Oct s1.-The Turkish
minister Of finance informed the
French ambassador at Constantinople
yesterday that the raid Of Turkish
warships on Russian seaports took
place without the knowledge Of the
Ottoman government and presumably
under the influence Of German officers
and crew. This information was con-
veyed in a dispatch today from Am
bassador Morgenthau to the American
government.
Mr.. Morgenthau added that the Rus
sian ambassador received instructions
at a. M. yesterday to demand his
passports and made an effort to see
the grand vizier. who pleaded illness
and did not receive him.

Immediately placed the interests OF
Russia in the hands OF the Italian am
bassador.
Ambassador Morsenthau's dispatch
made no mention OF any declaration OF
war nor Of internal conditions in
Turkey. He probably will take over
the French and British embassies. :.
Americans Believed Safe.
Ambassador Morgenthau's dispatch
was fled at noon yesterday in: cipher.
The fact that no mention was made
concerning missionaries led officials to
believe that Morgenthau felt confident
that Americans thruout the Ottoman
empire would be safe.
On the authority Of prominent Dip

The battle in the vicinity OF Ypres Is

ally at Passchendalle and the neigh
boring villages, and the slaughter is so
great that central west Flanders has
become one enormous hospital. The

the Germans after undergoing great
