Home from the
Convention

J. F. Seymour, Jr., who has been
attending the Republican congression-
al conference at Riverside, returned
yesterday morning highly pleased with
the treatment accorded him and this
county.
1t was decided at the conference to
hold a convention at San Diego, July
/, at 3 p. M, to recommend some per-
son for the Republican nomination for
congressman from this district.
This county was accorded fifteen
representatives to the convention,
which will consist of $50 persons.
Each county is to choose its own plan
for selecting delegates, and it is Mr..
Scymours idea that the utmost lib
erality should be exercised in select
ing these, that there may be a thor
ough union of all wings of the party.
There are six candidates for nomi-
nation from San Diego county, two
from San Bernardno county, one from
Orange and Mr.. Seymour from lmpe-
rial county.

SUPERINTENDENT
PAYS VISIT TO SCHOOLS

Holtville Tribune: This week Coun-
ty Superintendent Shibley visited the
schools here in company with Su-
perintendent Cree of Riverside coun-
ty and after a careful inspection Of
the work announced that he found
everything in a highly satisfactory
condition and he complimented the
schools highly. In speaking along
this line DR.. Crandall said this morn
ing:
I'VE feel gratified at having won
the approval of Mr.. Shibley for our
schools here, for | consider him, with
out exception, one of the best men in
his position to be found anywhere. He
is a school man pure and simple, has
made it a profession and is not a
politician in any sense Of the word.
The manner in which he arranged the
annual meeting of the trustees the
other day shows how thoroughly he
understands the work and how he has
secured the results he has attained in
the county"

FAMOUS SAN DIEGO HOTEL
ANTICIPATES BIG BUSIN ESS

Of all the hotels built to anticipate
the needs of 1915 in San Diego, the
Golden West certainly has made the
greatest strides in public favor, hav-
ing catered successfully to more than
10000 guests during the year now
drawing to a close.
1t faces the second year of the great
fair with reputation extending from
coast to coast, based on unusually eX-
cellent service at the most moderate
rates any hotel of it's class has ever
offered to guests OF the Pacific coast.

people now would be but for American
philanthropists.
THE date at which the catastrophe
will occur depends upon a good many
uncertain factors, but it cannot be long
delayed.
The 1915 summer harvest-what
there was of twas both sown and
reaped while | was behind the barbed
wires at Ruhleben. There WIS prac-
tically no rain from the end of March
until the beginning Of July.
"The crisis passed. Then came the
lashing thunderstorms to complete the
damage. Those of our custodians who
were concerned with agriculture pulled
long faces and used ugly language.
There was no mistake about 1.-THE
German harvest Of 1915 had failed"
The novelist quoted the Vorwarts,
the Outspoken German Socialist news
paper, to show that the 1915 harvest
Jailed, not only on account of drought,
but because:
/. The ground was not manured, the
monopOliZation of railway equipment
by the military preventing this.
2. Horses and carts were scarce be-
cause of the army needs.
9. Most skilled agriculturists were
away at the seat Of war, and old men,
women, children and prisoners couldn't
do the work
A. The manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements have turned their
energies to the manufacture of imple-
ments of war
Famine is inevitable, whether peace
comes soon or not. Prices will be high
and the value of German money has
sunk so low that 20 marks will buy
only 5 marks worth of goods. Be-
sides, Germany has no great guam
titles of goods to export and pay for
food imports.

London, April 15.-The imperial
German governments order to all Ger
man hotel and restaurant keepers, that
they must reduce the size of the meals
they serve, both as to variety and
quantity, will be effective throughout
Germany beginning with breakfast
this morning.
The bills Of fare will be reduced to
the smallest proportions on record
and guests will net be permitted to
cat more than one item from any sin
gle course-and not very much Of that.
Che butter supply. for instance, now
is restricted to one-eighth of a pound
per person per week. Mighty little
sugar is given. Other food supplies
are held to corresponding proportions,
Germany is racing toward famine
which has been foreseen since last
summer by those who knew the truth
about the summer harvest, according
to Francis Grbble, the British novel
ist, who has just returned to London
after a year in the German intern
rlent camp at Ruhleben, near Ber-

"There is no avoiding the conclu-
sion," said Gribble today, "that the
