ex.Drinkley Citizen Writes
 From the Golden State

Escondido, Cal, Feb. 20, 1914. Editor Argus:
 You will likely wonder why come again so soon, but it is easily explained.
 l said in a previous letter that here we have only two seasons the wet and the dry. Now we are having the wet, and every body is happy. Everyone who can is remaining inside because of the rain. Up to the present we are having more than the average rainfall. Since yAster- day noon we have had somewhat more than two inches, which makes about ten inches for the season.
 Business is not very brisk and it gives me a few idle minutes during which l can write, SC that is why l am writing today.
 The indications are now that we shall have the largest hay and grain crop in several years. We shall also have large crops of oranges. lemons, tangerines, grape fruit, walnuts. grapes and the deciduous fruits.
 have never said very much of Escondido. It is beautiful little city of about 5000 people.
 1t is about 100 miles south east of Los Angels and 35 miles northeast of San Diego and about IA miles from the Old Pacific.
 It is the terminus of a branch line of the Santa Fe railroad which leaves the coast line at Oceanside, a pretty little beach town 22 miles distant.
 We have an excellent system of telephone and electric light ing. We also have splendid high and grammar school, seven churches to furnish our people a place to worship. and the best part of it all we are not cursed with any saloons.
 We have two national banks

 If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman s tonic. Ithas helped more than million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has sold Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him.

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGIST The Old Joke about Some thing Just as Good, Doesn't Apply to
 This Drug
 Store

You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to get something just as good. ," There is at least one druggist in the world that you can't say this about. / 4
 1t is certain that an inferior article will never be substituted for a guaranteed one by Con- verses Drug Store. Take for instance a safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodsons Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has proved so satisfactory a liver stimulant and reliever of bilious ness, and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger or restriction of habits or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with limitations of its claims.
 But Dodsons Liver Tone is guaranteed to do all that is claimed for it. and if you are not satisfied with it, Mir. Converse will hand you the money back with smile. Any person going to this store for a bottle of Dod- sons Liver Tone will be sure of getting large bottle of this gen. uine remedy in exchange for his half dollar.

and two savings banks. all of which seem to be doing a good business.
 There are three packing houses for handling the oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits. One of the most pleasant features of our country which II have previously failed to mention is the absence of storms such Gs we have in almost all all other parts of the United States. Our rains, which fall almost noiselessly, are spoken of here as storms, but we have no thunder and lightning and the winds seldom attain a velocity of more than 10 to 15 miles per hour.
 I sometimes long to see the lighting and hear the thunder roar, because should be remind ed of the old home.
 The absence of data will pre- vent my saying very much about the Panama Exposition to be held at San Diego during 1915; but extensive preparations are being made for a big affair, and when it is over, San Diego will be known all over the world. One thing in favor of the growth of that city is the fact that 1t has one of the best harbors to be found anywhere. San Diego Bay is most completly shut off from the Pacific Ocean, hence ships can come in and take on or dis charge their cargoes without being buffeted by the waves.
 The San Diego and Arizona Railroad Company has just re- gently been permitted to issue bonds for the completion of the line into Arizona and to connect with some transcontinental sys- tenn. or at least with some of their lines.
 This assures the development of the whole country surrounding as we'll as the city itself, and in a fewyears San Diego will likely be one of the big cities of United States.
 It's climate has contributed to it's growth and when this be- comes better known after the exposition, it's development into a great city will be assured. So let the readers of the Argus keep in mind the exposition during 1915 at San Diego and come to see it.
 It is worth all it will cost just to see Southern California and experience for once what great thing it is just to be here.

PARIS, Sept. 23.-Though appar.
emily the German plan of battle has
been changed and Paris now does not
appear to be in any danger Of siege,
the time when the Kaiser's troops
menaced the French capital and were
within a few miles of the Paris forts
served to remind the people very Wv
idly of the former siege of Paris by
the Germans in the Franco Prussian
war in 1S70-71.
There are today in Paris thousands
of people who remember the former
siege, and to them the feverish activ-
ity of few weeks. ago when tons Of
provisions were massed in the city
and herds of cattle grazed in the Bois
de Boulogne, were pregnant with
memories.
On Sept. 2, 1870 Macmahon surren-
dered at Sedan and Napoleon III, and
an army of 81 900 officers and men be-
came prisoners of war. That catas-
trophe brought down the empire and
two days later the provisional govern
ment was set up in Paris A fort
night afterwards the investment of
the capital was complete. The victo-
rious Prussian army which had cap
tured Macmahon, had made straight
for Paris in the hope of an immediate
entry and the Prussian cavalry hur-
riedly completed the circle Of invest
ment by rapid sweeping movement
around the city to the west.
The siege began on Sept. 10. The
final armistice was signed on Jan. 2S
Paris therefore stood out for four
months and there is little doubt that
she would have kept the flag flying
for much longer if she had been bet
ter provisioned and If there had been
the slightest chance of any assist
ance reaching her from without. But
by the end of January her two mil
lions of population were within a
week of absolute starvation and one
by one the hopes of outside aid with
which they had been buoyed up were
dashed to the ground.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The return to
England, unmolested of Miss Christa-
bal Pankhurst, eldest daughter of
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, militant
suffragette leader, has aroused public
curiosity as to the attitude of the mil
itants toward the war. At the outset
of hostilities King George proclaimed
pardon for all suffragettes in the pris-
ons, and in return, the Woman's So
cial and Political Union issued man.
ifesto saying that militancy would be
abandoned during the European con.
fiict.
After an absence from England of
almost three years, to avoid imprison-
ment, the time of which she spent
mainly in Paris, Miss Pankhurst is
home again. Recently she has been
staying on the French coast, having
quit Paris at the time of mobilization.
| Her energy, it appears from an in
terview, is about to be launched in a
direction which will have the APPROX
al and support Of every patriotic Eng
, lishman and Englishwoman, whatev-
er their attitude in regard to the
suffragette movement, now in abey-
, ance. Miss Pankhurst is thoroughly
impressed with the momentous issues
involved in the present terrible strug.
gle, and it is to be her primary OBJ
ject, and that Of others with whom
she is working to inspire the spirit OF
patriotism throughout the country.
Concerning the position of the Wo
mems Social and Political Union with
regard to the war she remarks:
I'VE feel that the best thing we can
do is to try and put the case to 9th
ers as we women see it ourselves
The people of this country must be
made to realize that this Is life
and death struggle, and that the sue
cess of the Germans would be disas
trous for the civilization of the world

CALLING IN THE
STATES DEPOSITS
IN ORDER TO MAKE PAYMENT
ON s25o,ooo SUM OF THE
STATES DEBT.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Sept. 23.-In
view of the fact that the sum Of $3.50
900 is to be paid on the state debt on
Oct. /, the state treasurer is drawing
rather heavily on the state deposito-
ries for funds to meet the payment.
The money must be in New York Oct.
l, and must come from the treasury,
as the sinking fund of the state has
dwindled away to less than $100.
State Treasurer Hickerson realizes
that the banks sorely need this mon.
ey just at this time, but he has no al
tentative in the matter, and will be
compelled to draw in large sums at
this time to meet the states obliga-
tions. The treasury bank balance
will not be burdensome, to say the
least, after paying out this s250.O0O

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The magni-
tude of the disaster to the British
cruisers Aboukir, Greasy and Hosue
struck home to the British today
when it was learned that seventeen
hundred men and officers were miss
ing. Some were probably rescued
by passing ships, but it is believed
that the death list will be at least
sixteen hundred. The Aboukir was
attacked at 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and the Hogue came to the res
cue Of the drowning sailors and was
then torpedoed and followed to the
bottom. The Greasy then came up
and met like fate. The Dutch steam.
er Titon which rescued some of the
men saw one German submarine
rushing from the scene.
