WHENCE COME OUR
 STRAWBERRY SUPPLY

Washington, May 15.-California. the land of sunshine, and many other agreeable things, is given the first place as producer of strawberries by the department of agriculture in a recent bulletin announcing the re- suit of survey of the production and marketing of the fruit.
 The average city dweller who en- joys plate of the juicy, red berries for his breakfast or other meal may be interested to know where they come from, and this is what the de- partment's investigators have learned.
 Of the 14,553.2 carloads of straw berries shipped commercially in 1914, total of 2.312 carloads came from California. The states closest com petitor was Tennesseee with a total of 1,571.5 carloads.
 The survey disclosed that the most important commercial strawberry dis tricts are Centra California, Tennes see, Maryland, Delaware, Southern Louisiana, North and South Carolina, Virginia and the Ozarks. In 1914 a total of 1905 carloads was shipped from Central California. Lesser quantities were shipped from the oth CT districts which are named in the order of their importance in the trade. From the Ozarks came 748 car loads last year.

TAX LAND, BUT
 NOT BUILDINGS
Sociologist Believes This Would Remedy Unemploy-
 ment Problem in America.

Baltimore, Md, May 15.-"Today a larger proportion of the population of the United States is out of worx than at any time since the establish ment of his republic-yes since the first colonies fringed the Western seaboard."
 This was the statement here to day of Frederick c. Loubusch of New York City, president of Lower Rents society, in a speech before delegates ot the National Conference of Chari- that taxlng land more heavily and hot taxing buildings would remedy conditions.
 Prof. James H. Tufts. Of the Unl- versity of Chicago, said the trouble with our ideas of the family is that we make laws to check divorce but take little account of positive meas ures to assure good homes. Family ethics arc negative, not positive, he said.
 Tt s r4u h more important to insist that the right parties n,arry than insist that thtv shall never separate, He COullHucO. It IS more important under existing cond tons. to insist that the parties be in sound health and free from communicable dease. to provide suitable knowledge and forethought on their part. to con- tinue their education along the lines Of intelligent parenthood. than tc de- vote our chief energy to setting forth the evils of divorce.
 "The great point on which a more positive ethics for the working class family should center is a higher standard of liv,ng a higher wage and better h"Hse. better opportunities for play and icnger and better edu- cation for the children. The strik- ing testimony of Henry Ford as to his experience may not warrant us in any sweeping optimism that mini- mum wage of s day would be key to every form of family immor- ality.
 "The lack Of privacy decency. and comfort in which great multitudes of our city children are now brought LID is, far stronger menace to family life than any ethical theories. and wher we have re'nedied some of these conditions We can speak more con- fidently as to the next thing"

MISUNDERSTANDS; SUICIDES

London, May 15.-George Gras- meder of East Ham ended his life because of misunderstanding a word, coroner's report showed today. Two months ago a boil appeared on his arm and on the insurance certificate made out by the doctor in order to enable him to obtain his sick benefit appeared the word "furniculosis," a medical firm for boil Grasmeder thought the word was tuberculosis.
 He went to another doctor who told him that he did not have tuber- culosis, but Grasmeder believed this was said simply to encourage him and he cut his throat. The jury found "suicide while temporary in- sane."

greatest foe of all armies, is already
setting in on the northeastern battle
front, where the Germans and Rus
slams are encountering great storms.
For six or seven months the trials
of soldiers in that region will be most
severe, but this is considered favorable
to the Russians, not only because they
are better acclimated, but also be
cause there will be a stay in warfare
that will give them an opportunity
to restock their wasted supply Of mu-

BORDER BOARD TO
MEET LOCKWOOD
AVE. RESIDENTS

With the dispute between CaleXico
property owners and the Calexico
board of trustees over the opening
Of lockwood avenue as another pas
sage into MeXcal still unsettled, the
board has invited the property own
ers to confer with them September
p, the day preceding the date that
has been set for mandamus hearing
III the Superior court to compel the
Iemoal of the barrier.
The city trustees of the border city
have also begun condemnation pro-
cecdings on that portion of lockwood
avenue where the fence now stand.
The reluctance of the Calexico board
in opening the street as channel
is said to be based upon several OBJ
jections, chief among them that the
United States customs officials are
loath to have lockwood avenue
opened, as additional work would be
added to the force, which already has
Il large territory to patrol.
The Mexicai officials, on the other
hand, are said to have signified their
willingness to have another channel
into the Mexican town, and the Gus
toms officials at Mexicali are quoted
as stating that they will erect a Gus
toms house as soon as the opening
has been effected.
At present there is only one ave-
nue. of ingress and egress into the
town and if the meeting of the prop
erty owners and the trustees fails in
quelling the move to have the street
opened and the mandamus proceedings
are sustained by Superior Judge Cole,
it is probable that the lockwood ave-
nue. route into Mexical will be used
exclusively by pedestrians, and the
old passage by traffic.

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 14.-One
American soldier was killed, two
wounded, one probably fatally, in a
carefully planned attack by MeXicans
yesterday on a camp of patrol Of
the Third cavalry near Santa Maria,
Tex. AS a result troops in the lower

Private Anthony Kraft of Detroit

died before the fight was over, and
Trumpeter Harold T. Fordney OF
Watertown, N. Y, was shot through
the abdomen and is not expected to
live. Sergeant James J. Walsh was
slightly wounded.
Although surprised and surround
ed, the ten troopers of Troop A, third
cavalry, under Sergeant Walsh, made
q spectacular defense and stood OIL
three times their number of assail-
ants until the approach Of another
detachment of United States troops
forced the MeXicans to retreat.
