RECALLING MEXICO.

Carbajal has gone the way Of Diaz

tacular manner Carranza and his first
troops are now in Mexico city Now
VIII ensue another period OF watch
ful waiting" 10 see what Carranza can
do with the great problems Of Mexico
and 90 observe whether Villa and 9TH
or Vol.d-be reformers can be brought
into line with the latest regime
We must not forge, Mexico in our
great interest in the strife in Europe
and the latest developments in the Far
East as a result OF Japan once more
entering the arena with a chip on her
shoulder.
The question Of most Importance to
MeXic0-and. incidentally, to the
United States interests in the Next

In the long run and in the dnal analy-
sis, leaders DO not matter so much.
The one thing needful and imperative
Is the development Of Mexico along
modern lines before permanent peace
can be assured.
With proper development Of the ma

automatically come the enduring
peace which the United States is

But II ne has not the capacity for this

MOTOR for Safe Crossings.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May IA
telegram was received at the executive
office yesterday from The Farmers
and Drovers journal of Chicago,
which set out that the frequent recur-
renee Of Embarrassing accidents in
Missouri calls for State legislation to
force the railroads to properly safe
guard crossings by providing cleo
trically operated signal bells or auto
matte guard gates.
"Will you," was the query con-
tanned in the message, Stand behind
and urge legislation in your State
aimed to protect farmers lives at
grade crossings on rural highways?
Please reply"
Gov. Major wired this reply to the
inquiry:
Il favor legislation for the better
ment Of grade crossing conditions,
wherever necessary. The recent
public utilities act Of Missouri gives
the Public Service Commission plen-
airy power to cause the safeguarding
Of crossings by improved instrument
talities, and even to abolish grade
crossings where highway or railway
traffic is heavy. Am advised the
commission now has under consider
ton the elimination Of forty.five eros
sings and has ordered protection by
bells, flagmen, gates and other means,
Of great many more. One depart
msnt Of the commission is giving this
subject special attention.

SEVEN CARS MELONS
SHIPPED SATURDAY

With seven cars of cantaloupes 60
ing forward Saturday from Brawley
four Ly express and three by freight,
the shipping season will soon reacn
enormous proportions. Hundreds of
men have flocked into Brawley to aid
in harvesting the crop of luscious mel
ons. There was considerable prelim-
mary work to be done before the ac-
tual picking began. Yesterday the
immense acreage presented a beauti-
full sight. The fields were dotted with
new packing boxes, which had been
distributed.
The Southern Pacific has store
scores of refrigerator cars on the sid
ings at Brawley and hundreds of
men are awaiting the time when real
picking will be in evidence. One early
shipment reached New York, bringing
over $40 for small crate. Through
out the Central states, and particular
ly Ohio and Indiana, the Usage can
taloupe has long been a favorite and
chosen above all others in competi-
tion, but advices from Cleveland and
Indianapolis are to the effect that
Imperial Valley melons shipped there
were hailed with keen relish anG

Colorado June Flood Now
Passing Maximum Stage

Another break in the Colorado riv-
er levee near Volcano lake was re-
ported Saturday, but the quick work
of Casey Abbott, who has a large
ranch there, saved the day, and when
Engineer C. N. Perry Of the Impe-
rial Irrigation District arrived, Abb
bott, with the aid of Chinese, Japa-
nese and all other available help, had
repaired the levee in a substantial
manner.
While the river is 3 of foot higher
than ever before, the district Of
ficers do not apprehend any damage
The river has reached the high water
mark.
Mr.. Abbott noticed the break when
it was quite small, but before suf-
fcien1 men could be rounded up the
water was pouring out in a large
stream. Fresnos were pressed into
service and all manner of rocks, trees
and rubbish thrown in to check the
water. Mr.. Abbott notified the irri-
cation district officials of the break
and Engineer c. N. Perry visited the
scene.
The Colorado river is carrying
discharge of about $4,000 second-feet
and will shortly reach the full force
of the flood stage. This morning the
river stood at nearly 25 feet. The
crest of the flood has already passed
Needles and the maximum stage at
Yuma will be reached tonight or to-
morrow.
This is the regular annual rise, due
to the melting snow at the headwaters
of the Colorado. The flood tide will
continue until the middle of June,
but no damage will result, as close
watch is being kept at points of dan

JOY RIDERS
IN Ell CENTRIC JAIL

The joy ride of George A. Wells,
aged %, and Ed Fay, aged "a, came
to a sudden ending Sunday, when An
drew Pruitt took them into custody
and lodged them in the county Jail,
where they will remain until Sheriff
w. S. McSwain of Fresno county ar
rives, at which time the two young
men will be taken to that city to ex-
plain about a missing Ford automo-
bile, No. 67,666, in which the two men,
two young women and a fox terrier
were joy riding all over Southern CAL
ifornia.
Sheriff McSwain trailed the two
young men from Fresno to Los An
geles, where he learned that the par
ty had left for San Diego and, pro-
ceeding there, the trail was resumed
when garage proprietor remembered
the number of the car, as he remarked
that the Ford, when standing in front
of restaurant, possessed numbers
suitable for a good cribbage hand.
The Fresno officer then came to Ell
Centre last week, believing that car
was headed for Yuma, and wired to
Deputy Sheriff Ragsdale there to
watch out for the joy riders. The par
ty, instead of going to Yuma, landed
back in Brawley, where all officers
had received a good description of the
car and occupants. Sheriff McSwain
holds felony warrant for the pair
and has also posted reward of $25
for their arrest.

Vera Cruz, May 25.-War Minister
Blanquet continued to dominate the
situation today and the situation is
admittedly more tense in Mexico City.
Huerta is passive, according to the
latest reports following Blanquet's de-
mand that he countermand the order
for the execution of forty-six military
prisoners. Huerta's following has
practically all fallen away, it is said
by persons arriving yesterday from
the capital An actual outbreak is
predicted if Huerta attempts to dis

ger by the Reclamation Service How
ever, on the Arizona side, about six
miles below Yuma, over 1900 feet of
government levee has been washed
out, and 1900 feet on the Imperial val
ley levee. F. l.. Sellew has already
built a shoofly levee around the break
and General William L. Marshall, who
is on the scene, has authorized the
repair in the Imperial levee immedi-
ately. This will probably be complet-
ed next week.
The banks of the levee on the Ari-
zona side are being riprapped with
rocks, and safety is assued the lower
valley farmers and their crops. Prac-
tically no damage will be sustained
from the ravages of the river this
year.
The completion of the new govern
ment railroad will put the United
States Reclamation Service project in
condition such that it will be more
amply fitted to protect the levees
and to control the river and the Yu-
ma valley farmers need not fear floods
from the Colorado after this year.
Before the completion of the Laguna
dam the river was. practically uncon-
trollable and the damage sustained
by the annual overflow was enor-
nous. In some instances farms had
to be al abandoned for months at time
and the "overflow country is as vet
a landmark which is often visited by
tourists, who marvel at the high wa
ter mark and other signs which still
remain of the floods of the former
years. Treetops which once held roofs
OF houses, have long been consumed
for wood by Yuma housewives, and
almost the whole of that country is
NOW ir high state of cultivation.

for the manufacturer of meal and
flour.
In Germany fine qualities of paper
are made and even mercerized fiber is
manufactured from the lint taken from
the American cottonseed hulls which
are shipped to that country.
On the other hand there are no
mills in the United States using the
pulp from the cotton stalk except for
the manufacture of wrapping papers
and that in a comparatively small
quantity. 1t is estimated that there
are about 15,0O0,00O tons of stalks
grown in the cotton districts. A very
small percentage of the stalks are
put to any practical use or used for
manufacturing purposes.
The. following are a few of the
products Of the cotton plant, a list
extremely interesting to those who be-
lieve in the utmost conservation of
the by-products of this staple crop:
From seed cotton are secured fibre,
seed. blue dust and notes.
From the flue dust is derived fiber
used for paper stock; from leaves,
fertilizer; from brabots, foodstuffs,
and from sand, retilizer.
From the notes are derived hulls,
fiber, fertilizer.
From the fiber is secured warn.
from which is made the following
varieties: Dyed, printed, mercerized
and tronze; twine, sewing cotton, en-
broidery cotton, lace, pillow lace, cro-
chet work, knitting, trimming, tapes.
try and cords. The cloth made from
the fiber includes all kinds of cot
ton garments, imitation leather, tire
fillinga, cotton hose and in many in
stances cotton is used as money or
medium of exchange by the natives
of foreign lands.
From the offal of the fiber is made
the waste used for plating machin-
cry, felt cotton, batting and wadding
of all kinds, medical gauze, cottonoid,
salizylated cotton, medicated cotton
and c.llulose.

Cotton By-Products Source
of Vast Profit to Grower

An article entitled "By-Products of
the Cotton Plant" by w. E. Edge
combe of San Antonio, Tex, in the
current issue of the Manufacturers
Record, brings home vitality to cotton
growers and manufacturers in the
Imperial Valley and the South the
tremendous waste Of by-products in
this country, as compared to the care
full ard very profitable use of the
same in Europe.
In Germany, according to the writ
er, there has been in existence since
1910 process which provides for the
delinting and hulling of the cotton
seed in way that allows the high
est and purest extraction of food val
ues.
Under this process there is abso-
lutely no waste in the separation Of
the various products of the cotton
plant. There are three machines in
volved-first, the separator, which
loosens up the seed so that it can be
handled readily by the delinting ma
chine. The second treatment removes
every vestige of lint, cleans the seed
thoroughly and prepares it for third
machine, which separates all the hulls,
leaving the kernels unbruised and
whole.
From the hulls can be made a bran
which can be used to adulterate the
cottonseed meal without causing any
loss of quality or spelling the analy-
sis. The hulling machine is great
improvement upon the method almost
universally used in the United States,
where the seeds are crushed as they
come from the delinters and conse-
quently are mixed with considerable
lint ard offal.
There is also considerable loss by
the use of the present methods by
reason of imperfect separation, and
the escape of fine particles of meal
through the use of imperfect machin-
cry. The German machinery guards
against this loss and turns out the
hulls thoroughly cleansed and ready
