down his dime and received a plumb
null bag. The clearly damsel who
waited on him shot quick glance at

Bert as he regained the street, Il can

He gulped down sob and set his
steps towards the railroad running
through the town. Then he checked
himself. He stood almost transfixed.

very spot he had just vacated, was his

PROTECTING CROPS
MAKES PROGRESS

County Horticultural Commissioner
Waite has made the following month
ly report:
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors, Imperial County-Gentlemen:
The following goods were Inspected
and passed into the county during the
month of August, 1914: OIL boxes of
lemons, 269 boxes of oranges, AT
IoXes of grapefruit, 10 boxes of nee
tarines, 4S7 boxes of apples, 1876
sacks potatoes, II ornamental vines.
Two boxes if oranges were re-
jected because of purple scale and
destroyed.
The work of cleaning up Johnson
grass and wild morning glory is 60
ing along very satisfactorily. With
very few exceptions all parties inter-
ested are going ahead to eradicate
the weeds where a request has been
made. A few made promises but are
slow to act.
Notices are being served where ad-
visable according to law and where
parties fail to clean up the commits
sioner will go ahead and eradicate,
and the expense will become lien
on property if owners refuse to pay
the bill.
The grasshoppers are still doing
considerable damage to alfalfa and
cotton fields. The cotton aphis is
also present, but not doing as much
damage, weather conditions being
more favorable to its destruction.
Farmers should practice deep plow
ing and give plenty of cultivation,
which tends to reduce all insect pests
and noxious weeds. The soil is also
greatly benefited through aeration.

roRCED TO VOTE AGAINST BOOZE.

Not only will the people of California vote the
question of booze at the general election but they will
also vote on provision brought forward by the brewers
under which any town township that votes against
statewide prohibition at this election will be made wet
territory for eight years.
There are many people who believe in local option
who do not believe in statewide prohibition and these
people will be forced vote for dry state through fear
that their town will be made wet for years.
In Ell Centro for instance if the majority should vote
against dry state the people would lose the power for
eight years to keep out the Saloons and without further
act on their part this would become wet territory.

| CHICAGO. Sept. 22-In the closing
| days of the session. with the world S
! series now but a matter of little more
than couple of weeks ball players
generally, and those in the major
; leagues in particular. have commenced
| to work on the puzzle of who will prob
ably be awarded the automobile as
recognition of being the most valuable
member of his club in the American
League.
Among the Washington players the
impression seems to be almost unani-
nous that it will 60 to Eddie Collins. or
the Athletics. Those who demur from
this believe Iris Speaker. of Boston. is
favored. In the latter case it is be-
lieved that the favorite will be elimi-
mated through the fact that he already
has in his possession the car which he
was presented with two years ago.
Opposing Collins. Ty Cobb might re-
ceive some recognition were it not for
the fact that Detroit has been deprived
of his services through about one-third
of the season. AS this was partially due
to the conduct of that PLAYER off the
field and as his absence cost his club
an excellent chance Of finishing in the
runner-up position. these conditions
are likely to count heavily in the
minds OF the committee of newspaper
men who have the say as to who shall
receive the prize.
Walter johnson now rides the streets
and avenues in his automobile om-
blematic of value to the Nationals. but
as he mas suffered so many reverses
this season. coupled with the fact that
ne was once the winner, will initiate
against whatever chance he might
have.
So the Griffmen generally are con-
sldering only two men. Collins aud

lead.

with Connie Mack's collection. Griffith
now has an extra bunk at his Montana
ranch in which some Smember of the
Nationals may go for a part of ne
winter. When Griffith asked Shaw and
Engel would they like to visit him they
took him up. But now Engel has cam
celed the engagement. believing that
the tour with the All-Stars will be more
pleasant than feeding cattle and other
strenuous stunts to which John Henry
may bear testimony. as he spent sew
eral weeks with Griffith two winters
ago.
Ray Morgan has decided to spend the
winter here. Instead of going to his
home in Baltimore during the off-sea-
son. Morgan has accepted position
with the Chevrolet Company to IN
duce Washington people to purchase
that car. With Shaw and Engel gone.
