sound investment besides. AS
Mr.. Hearst expresses it in his editor
ial:
"If these bales were sacrificed now
they would doubtless go for less than
10 cents a pound, but if they are held
Until after the war they will sell for
more than 10 cents pound. The cit
liens who buy these bales of cotton,
are not only doing their duty
by their fellow citizens, are not only
extending brotherly, helping hand
to their fellow citizens in the South,
Lut arc making good and sound in
vestment in addition"
Because of the large crop of cotton
in Imperial Valley this year, which
will find temporarily unfavorable
market, the Buy-a- Bale-of- Cotton plan
has been received with warm welcome
and deep interest in that region. There
is 60,000-bale crop this season, with
q value of between $3,000,000 and $4,-
100000, and the growers are confront

prizes. She will be attended by a
master of ceremonies.
Already eight handsome silver cups
have teen presented and it is fully ex-
pecte1 that there. will be over a dozen
cups when the fair opens.
Ben Salomon stated he, would glad
| ly present the material for the queens
coronation gown and from the list Of
names sent in said he: "You will have
g queen that will not only grace our
ceremonies, but add splendor to our
activities and keep our fair what we
intend it shall be-the rallying place
for all the better class of this great
valley. We will tolerate no rough
play, no exhibits that are not of the
cleanest character, and all concessions
will be inspected by special commit
tee of ladies, SO that we shall know
that parents can come and bring every
member of their family and enjoy
what | know will be the finest fair
Imperial County has yet conceived" !"
1t was decided that all those resi-
dent in the county should have pref
erence in all concessions. If there
are no applications received from those
IN the county for certain concessions
by October Is then the committee will
consider itself free to accept conces-
sions from those outside of the coun-
ty. "Protect our home people," was
the keynote of the talk last night.
Special stress was laid on the de-
sire Of the directors that every school
in the valley should make collective
and individual pupils exhibits. For
this there will be handsome silver cups
and higher money prizes. The baby
show will have at least three fine
silver cups from Los Angeles and one
from New York. These cups will be
on display at the County Chamber
of Commerce window within week,
as they are now being engraved.
The decoration of the streets and
buildings of Ell Centre formed the sub
ject of warm discussion. 1t was claimed
that Ell Centro hitherto had not as
city decorated to such an extent as
the city deserves for fair time.
The secretary was ordered to dwell
Upon the fact that early planning is
advisable. Do not leave everything
until the last moment and then break
your neck in hasty exhibits and half
hearted displays, was the advice of one

Several of the banks of the county
have deposited securities with County
Treasurer Brown and taken cash from
the treasury to increase their loaning
capital. These include the First Ma
tional Banks of Calexico, Holtville,
Imperial and Ell Centre, and the Sc
curity Savings Bank of Ell Centre, the
total of the loan being $60,S30.S0, and
more will probably follow.
There has been a large sum of idle
money in the county treasury, which
the law permits the treasurer and dis
triet attorney to loan to the banks in
this way, and Messrs. Brown and
Swing took up the matter with the
banks, thinking it desirable to get the
money in circulation.

Unprecedented Battle.
(By F. Warrington Dawson,
(By United Press Associations

(By United Press Associations
Bordeaux, Sept 19.-Fighting north
east of Paris is desperate today to an
extent almost unprecedented in the
history of warfare, the war office
stated.
1t is fierce also to the eastward, but
in the battle between the allies left
and the German right the conflict is
most terrible. Lack of details from
the front is causing anxiety here.
The allies failure to drive the Ger
mans from France is interpreted as
indicating that the Germans again
have the numerical advantage.
That the Germans have strengthened
their defenses and been reinforced is
certain.
The war office has finally admitted
that Mauberge has fallen, strengthen
ing the Kaiser's line of communica-
tions.
Every fortress in Germany is de-
clared to be stripped Of it's garrison
and the forces rushed into France for
the decisive battle.
1t is certain at least 100000 Ger
mans are on the first line. 1t is re-
iterated that the Germans have not
resumed the offensive anywhere.

marketing as their brother growers of
the South.
Expressions of approval of the popu.
lar cotton-buying plan urged by the
Hearst newspapers have been forth
coming from Imperial Valley growers,
and T. d. Mccall, manager of the I'm
perial Valley Cotton Growers Ex-
change, has made the suggestion that
the movement be inaugurated in Cali
fornia and the Pacific Coast region to
buy bale of Imperial cotton.
In an appeal to the Examiner, it is
pointed out that with the far-reach-
ing action in other parts of the coun-
try for extending relief to the crop in
the South, the efforts in this direction
in this section and on the coast should
be directed in behalf of the Imperial
Valley output of the staple.
Plans are now being discussed
whereby a satisfactory system for bale
purchase of Imperial cotton may be
rut into effect in California. 1t is
pointed out that people of the Pacific
Coast through this means may do their
part in the nationwide movement to
relieve the cotton growers, may make
a sound and profitable investment and
carry out the Buy-at- Home idea in pur-
chasing bales of Imperial cotton.
niractors of tho ono Reach Cham
Ter of Commerce yesterday caught the
spirit of the cotton buying cause by
passing resolution directing that each
member of the directorate appear at
the next meeting wearing white cotton
socks. This was in line with a let
ter received from the Business Mems
League of st. Louis, which is seeking
tc stimulate the purchase of home
made cotton products as one phase of
the American cotton sale plan.

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Sept. 49,
Confidence as to the outcome of the
great battle raging in France is ex-
pressed by the German general STATE
today, which also announced that op-
erations by German troops on the
cast, are resulting favorably.
"The German armies in France are
steadily growing stronger" it was
stated. 'The advance on Paris was
too rapid to admit of provisions and
ammunition in sufficient quantities be-
ing gotten to the troops. This has
been remedied by the adjustment Of
the lines of communication. The eff
ficacy of the new arrangement has
teen demonstrated at the center Of
the German front, where a steady adj
vance is being made.
"The French are showing signs of
weakness and apparently they are un-
able 20 fill their depleted ranks, where
as our forces are being steadily aug
mented by fresh troops in the battle
between the Disc and Meuse rivers"
Following up his success against the
Russian armies in East Prussia, Gen,
eral Won Hindenburg is invading Rus

ing statement on his operations was

"The German eastern army contin-
ues operations in the district about

now is advancing on the fortress at
Osowiece, 40 kilometers (2S miles)

OF course. ! don't mean that the
colors a woman combines will reveal
minute details about her character,
but they will often give you an inter

which she belongs.
For color harmOnies. just like sound

the complex. and are appreciated by
people with the corresponding range
OF personalities.
For instance. blue and white or
pink and white Is an absolutely sim
pie and obvious color combination

ate and which becomes them best II
Is like n childish melody in which
some very simple phrase Is reiterated.
