STOCKING VALLEY
WITH BEEF CATTLE

A big shipment of cattle was re-
ceived at Calipatria yesterday and
was driven out to pasture on the
Calipatria Eastside Farms, about 8
or miles out.
There were several hundred steers
in this drove, which is only part of
several other big shipments to come.
Considerable excitement was caused
for a time. as the cattle became
frightened by the big caterpiller en-
gine which was grading Main street
with an enormous road grader. A
stampede was imminent, but they were
finally quieted without any damage
being done.

New Texas Labor Law.

Austin, Tex, March ia 54-hour
week bill for women workers, cer-
tain to become law at this session
of the Legislature, passed the senate
with women in cotton and wooden
mills excluded from its protection.
Senator Bee, author of the measure,
felt constrained to apologize for the
fact that it excluded these workers.
He said that he had consented to it
only because fourteen of his colleagues
told him they would not vote for it
if the bill did not exclude textile
workers,

PIRATE PLANS ARE
NOT YET COMPLETED

Pittsburg, March 13.-Clarke and
his Pirates-and the Pirates before
Clarke, for that matter-have always
been the last of the big league teams
to go south when the robins began
to chirp and the fans to inquire anx-
iously about the possibilities of rise
In the price of pop. Consequently it
was generally well into March before
any definite idea as to the lineup of
the team could be doped out.
This year promises to be an eXcep-
tion in that respect. The prospect
is that it will be the middle of April
before very much is known. Hans
Wagner is going to play again. But
dopesters are certain that the Flying
! Dutchman will let his sails flap about
the CC-meaning Cemetery Corner,
alias first base. Barney Dreyfuss
agrees with the dopesters to the ex-
tent that he thinks this possible. Fred
Clarke opines there is more than a
chance that Wagner may wag in that
charming spot. AS for Wagner-no-
body home.
And there is still Hinchmand. late
of Columbus, O. Hinchmand will play
in right field. That is just as GER
tain AS it is that Wagner will play
first base. AS for the others:
Carey will plav in the field. Viox
will play somewhere. Adams will
pitch and Gibson will catch. Several
others will pitch and catch. And
others will play bases and field posi-
tions. But who they are and what
they will do are questions.
The Pirates this year are to be an
experimental team" What this
this means is conjectural Pitts
burghers hope that it means the Pi-
rates will get somewhere above the
belt line in the percentage column.
Further than that they have been Civ
en- no grounds for hope.
Whatever it's record in the field may
the ast-in-two-months aggre-
cation has the long distance pennant
cinched again. 1t is the st-traveled
team in the major league circuits,
chiefly because of its halfway posi-
tlon between east and west on the
map. Some fans say that were it not
so long on the Pullman and diner suite
it might be more than halfway in its
position in the percentage column
However, they aren't running the
team.
Careful censoring of the war plans
shows that the team will "do the
usual" in the line of playing at home
on Saturday, jumping to some foreign
country-Cincinnati, st. Lops or Chi
cago-for Sunday games and back
for the beginning of an at-home series
on Monday.

when it came to announcing their ros-
ter. While there doubtless will be

A POETS HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 7. James Whit
comb Riley, aided by the State and ma
ton, today celebrated one of the happi-
est birthdays of his life. He was the
honor guest at a theatrical performance
in the afternoon, and tonight attended a
banquet given in MS honor.
More than two thousand of the poets
friends greeted him at the theatre A
number of his poems had been set to
music and these were interpreted by
dancers. Some of the most prominent
men in the world of letters spoke at the
banquet
The flood Of congra tuiations which has
poured in on Mr.. Riley for the past two
weeks reached it's crest today. There
were CHEEKY messages from people in
every walk of life. The poet evinced a
keen delight at each of these tributes.
One of the unique presents received at
the Riley home was birthday cake
shaped and colored like pumpkin.
Growing it was layer of frostng. 1t
typited Mr.. Riley's poem, TIL Frost is
on tn Punkin'.
A card bore the message that the dom
or desired to be known only as Old Aunt
Mary.
Two blacksmiths sent gifts. One was
a handmade silver no seshoe; the other

A NERVINE TONIC

In many severe nervous disorders the
best remedy is often tonic. The most
active tonic treatment is recommended
by the highest medical authority to ar
rest the progress of such diseases.
1t is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills are nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood, en-
abling the blood to carry to the nerves
the elements needed to build them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache and
number of more severe nervous troubles
are properly treated by building up the
blood with DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
are often entirely corrected in this way.
Ii you are nervous you can help your
self by refusing to worry, by taking pro-
per rest, sleep and vacations, by avoid
ing excuses and by taking out-of-door
exercise. For medicine take DR.. Will
iams Pink Pills, the non-alcoholic tonic
Sufferers from nervous disorders who
have been taking treatment without,bene
tit should investigate the tonic method.
Write today to the Dr. Williams Me1i-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for the
booklet, 'Diseases of the Nervous Sys-
tenn" It will be sent free on request.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Williams
Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on
receipt of price, fifty cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50.
