SPEED CRAZE SHOULD BE CURBED

Here is record for month that ought to be STUDIED
by automobile owners and drivers generally with view
toward doing their share toward making different
record for future MONTHS which they may point TO as
the result of following safe and sane ideas of motoring
One hundred and twenty-eght human lives were lost IN
automobile accidents in the United States in April Just
ended
Two hundred and ten persons were injured, ffty-sX
seriously.
Speed cost the lives of five score Speed resulted in
the injury of ten score others.
Twelve cars moving at great speed their drivers try
ing to beat trains over crossings were nit by locomotives
Seventy cars hitting up skdded in every instance
human life forfetng.
Records show that eighteen pedestrians were killed.
In several instances the fault coroners ures found,
rested the pedestrian In the majority OF cases, how
ever the cars crushing out the lives speeding
significant feature of the April record is that many
accidents due to the acts of drivers who had recently
purchased machines
1t was just speed nothing ese that cost the lives of
hundred and injury of two hundred others. Speed for
GOOD purpose may have caused of the deaths and
INJURIES but most of them due to speed to no other
purpose than Just to 90 fast machines could take the
drivers and those in their charge
Seventy speeding cars skidded and lives were sacr
feed to speed Going at top notch is dangerous as drivers
know dangerous to themselves and those whose safety
in their keeping and also to others walking or driving in
the streets
Then dozen cars driven at high speed to get
railroads ahead of trains hit by locomotives The
lesson it appears not learned that invariably where
locomotive and automobile hit it up to reach crossing
first the locomotive out best There is always more
room behind moving train than in front Of it. 1t may
take moment to wait for it, but it's the moment well
spent,
The record for April ought to lead new emphasis to
to the safety first movement throughout the entire
country.

Marshfield Record: Warren p. Reed,

iner, says the people of Coos Bay are
not showing the proper amount of en-
thusiasm over the proposal to connect
up the highway through the Tenmile
country to meet the Douglas county
road which is to be built south from
Reedsport. Mr., Reed says the people of
Douglas county will construct the water
level highway between Reedsport and
Scottsburg and will then have several
outlets to the valley districts. The dis
tance between Reedsport and Scotts-
burg is Is miles and about seven miles
of the new road is completed. The
highway to come this way will strike

Marshfield Record: More complaint
was heard yesterday about the mail
service than at any time since the
change was made from the Coos Bay
wagon road to the Myrtle Point Rose
burg route. 1t has been customary to
get the mail here some time during the
daytime the next day after it's arrival
at Myrtle Point, but it was not brought
to town yesterday until G:3S in the
evening and patrons of the postoffice
and those getting outside papers were
entirely at sea during the delay. 1t is
not known whether Postmaster Hugh
McIain, who left Saturday for Port
land, will be able to improve the service
but it is at least getting on the nerves
of the Coos Bay public to have mail
that has reached the county, distributed
here "a hours afterwards.

Immediate acceptance of the pro-

that he will furnish them with any
necessary information relative to the
erection Of the warning signals.

VALLEY ASKS FEDERAL
AID TO PREVENT NEW
CITRUS TREE DISEASE

California citrus growers, who have
been making an appeal for federal
aid to prevent the introduction of cit
rus canker into California and the
West, have made an appeal to Impe-
rial county, as well as the rest of the
state, to cooperate with them in seek
ing the assistance of the government.
The citrus canker, which has been no.
tice able in Florida for the last ,
years, has become prevalent i'm that
state and heavy damage has been in
fIicted.
f. w. Waite, county horticultural
commissioner, who has corresponded
with federal officials seeking aid for
preventative measures in this state
and curative measures i'm Florida and
the South, received replies this morn
ing to his request.
The first, from John O. Lesher,
member of the House of Representa-
tives from the Sixteenth district of
Pennsylvania. stated that the writer
would be pleased to give the matter
very careful consideration when it
comes up before the House committee
ON agriculture for action.
The" second, from w. c. Hawley,
NJ. c., on the committees on agricul-
ture, labor and state department., fol-
lows:
81 am impressed with the dangers
of this evil and will give the matter
most careful consideration if | am
on the committee on aori-
as | expect to be, when the
committees of the House are appoint
ed"
Declaring that grave danger existed
in this state from the introduction of
the citrus disease, Mr.. Waite said:
81 talked recently with Il govern
ment expert who had visited the af-
fected district in Florida, and he in-
formed me that it was, without any
exception, the worst tree disease which
has ever become prevalent in the Unit
ed States. The citrus growers of Cal
ifornia have co-operated in the re
quest for government aid in eradicat-
ing the affection in Florida and pre-.
venting the introduction of the dis
ease into the West

VALLEY IS TO HAVE
1916 POULTRY SHOW

Plans for a poultry show to be hela
in FL Centro the last of January Oh
the first of February were announced
today by A. c. Rath, of the firm OF
Rath u Marshall, local poultry deal
ers.
In conjunction with this, it is
planned to arrange for series of
lectures by +. a. Hogan of Petaluma
Mr.. Hogan is widely known in Cali
fornia, having evolved several systems
OF raising poultry, foremost of which
is the system known as "Hoganiz-
ing
These lectures will treat on the
most successful methods of raising
poultry at a minimum cost to the pro
ducers.
Exhibits to be shown at the COM
ing show will be drawn from
all Imperial Valley as well as from
towns and cities within Il 24-hour
shipping radius Of the valley. From
Glendale, Arlington, Burbank, Los
Angeles, Santa Barbara, San Diego
and other cities arrangements have
already been made by which it will
be possible to exhibit poultry from
those districts and it is expected a
good showing will be made by valley
poultry laisers
Mr.. Rath stated today that przes,
probably cash, would be offered.
Well known coast poultry dealers
and producers from the coast will also
deliver lectures in a 3-day program
which Mr.. Rath aketched tentatively
today. The lectures will trace the de
velopment of the chick and outline the
methods by which the pro
duction can be placed at a maximum
with a minimum cos. t. tks producer.
THE Culling of Flocks" will be the
topic of Mr.. Hogan's address. in which
he will demonstrate the method of
the n-produccrs and
those which do not produce eggs of
type suitable for Matching.
"Drones exist among chickens and
bees" Mr.. Rath said, and it is up
to the farmer to eliminate those which
are not useful if he expects to get
the greatest possible profit
Thomas G. Richards. owner of
large chicken ranch near Arlington
and an authority on incubation, will
deliver a lecture on that subject His
address will deal with the proper
handling of the young birds until they
have reached the age of years. when
they will have reached the period when
the hardest offspring are produced.
Marketing will be the subject Of
an address by William Young, one Of
the proprietors of Young's Market,

step in the history Of poultry raising
and one in which the producer is Vi
tally interested.

COUNTY CREDIT ASSN.
PLANS ARE VAGUE

Plans to establish a county business
mems credit association with central
offices in FL Centre have miscarried
and, according to Eugene d. White,
are still vague. Two meetings of the
county business men were held at the
Barbara Worth hotel and plans to es-
tabl.sh n county credit organization
were promulgated.
Committees on membership which
were to have reported at the banquet
at the Barbara Worth Tuesday have
been at work on the plan since the
first meeting. several months ago. 1t
was stated this morning by Mr.. White
that some opposition to the fee plan
was made by those who declared they
favored an organization without an
initial fee and a deposit. It was orig
inally planned to charge an initial
fee Of $40 and in addition require a
deposit of $40. subject to withdrawal
when the membership of the depostor
ceased.
The plans as sketched ut recent
meeting, called for a report Of the
members to the central office in this
city at stated intervals, these reports
being forwarded to branch offices es-
tablished in the other valley towns.
Mr.. White stated this informing that
it was probable he would establish

War Cloud Passes
Over L. S. Again

Washington. Dec. 9-The latest re-
port from Ambassador Page, that the
Standard OH steamer Communipaw
had been captured and taken to an
unnamed port, brought great relief.
for an earlier report was that the YES
sci had been sunk by an Austrian sub
marine.
Had the latter proven to be true,
America would again have been
brought to the verge of war.
Still another cause of relief is the
growing belief that Germany will re-
call the army and navy attaches in
accordance with the American re-
quest, without the formal explanation
for the request that Germany had
asked for. Sensational reports had
come from Berlin that Germany would
insist on this, and it was known that
the American government would not
comply, as it's sources Of information
were such that they could not be di-
yulged.
Two days ago it seemed this nation
was as close to embodiment i'm the
European war as ever, but the critical
danger now has apparently passed
AGAIN.
