land are alert and competent students
of the problems with which they have
t., deal.
What has been accomplished is defi-
ritely revealed in the astonishing in
crease in the deposits of Southern
banks, as compared with a period so
late as 10 years ago, and also, the
great increause during this time in
the percentage of the deposits owned
ky the agricultural community. The
limits of this letter will not permit
Us to give the figures in detail. They
can be had, however, at almost any
bank, and are both interesting and in
structive. The South has now the
means wholly adequate to protecting
and promoting every phase of it's bus
mess and economic life, and a trained
intelligence wholly adequate to deal
irg successfully with every situation
that is likely to arise. This, we take
it, sharply differentiates and distin-
guishes the new era.
AS it relates to cotton affairs, it is
clear, since the elimination of neces-
| sity as factor, that the ability Of
the South to control the marketing of
the crop and the trained intelligence
behind the situation, dominate every
other influence in the market. It seems
reasonable to conclude that they will
continue to dominate it for many years
to come, and perhaps indefinitely. II
has completely exploded the time-worr
claim that the accumulation of cotton
endangered the cotton market, and al
such collateral arguments. The logic
of events has already proven that ii
is safer to recognize the potency OF
these new influences in all our cal
culations. Especially has this beer
strikingly demonstrated in cotton af-
fairs.

horticultural Commissioner
Renders His Monthly Report

horticultural Commissioner F. W..
Waite's report for November is as
follows:
Besides the regular work of this
department, the forty-ninth State Fruit
Growers and Commissioners conven-
ton was attended at Napa. Among
the many interesting subjects that
were discussed were the following:
Amendments to horticultural and stan
oardization laws. Last February the
state commissioner of horticulture ap-
pointed a committee of three, and
these men appointed three nursery
men, three fruit growers and three
Horticultural commissioners. These
n'en then enlarged the committee to
seventeen. Many meetings have been
held by the committee to amend the
horticultural laws and to formulate
Uniform inspection and quarantine reg
ulations. The standardization laws
have been thoroughly gone over for
the purpose of making them effective
One of the principal changes will be
ttat all fruit under this act, whether
inter-county or inter- state. will come
under the law. This is Of great i'm
portance in the shipment of canta-
loupes from this county.
A day was spent in San Francisco
with the chief deputy quarantine Of
ficer, going over the work of that de-
rartment This state is to be con-
graduated on having such an efficient
quarantine department. From 100000
to 100000 parcels are inspected each
month at the port of San Francisco.
Cotton coming from China is fumi
gated in a special vacuum tank All
cars that have carried cotton seed or
cotton are disinfected by filling them
with steam for several hours, which
cooks the seed and destroys all pos
sibility of insects injurious to cot
ton.

any of the date palms at the Heber
date farm l wish to state for their
benefit that it will be impossible to
move any of them until they have
been cleaned of all date scale, insects
ard certified to by the United States
date inspector.
"Under the department of weights
and measures, will say a few words
about bread. The weight of loaves of
bread should be regulated. The house

she is getting for her money. Where

competition will control the price.
Every merchant has the privilege to
charge for and expect price which
will give him fair profit on his
goods. If present prices necessitate
a raise the raise is justifiable. But
if there is to be raise, that raise
should be apparanet to the purchaser
and it should be in price and not
| through giving a smaller quantity"
I The following goods were inspected
and passed into the county during the
month of November, 1916: 5,429 boxes
of apples, 191 boxes of oranges, las
boxes of grapefruit, 70 boxes of lem
ons, 8 boxes of strawberry plants
IL boxes of ornamental plants, 1928

TWO DUELS FOUGHT
IN BUENOS AIRES

Buenos Aires, Nov. 20 (By maiD-
Two duels have just been fought here.
The Argentines themselves are joking
their fellow countrymen about it and
the general opinion seems to be that
this sort of thing is out of date in
the New World. The system contin-
Iues to prevail, however, in certain cir
Icles.
One of the two sword fights was
between Baron Athos de San Malato,
an Italian, and Aniceto Rodriguez, an
Argentine with a reputation as a
jswordsman. In the other the oppon-
Ients were Deputy Rodolfo Moreno, a
member of the Argentine House of
Representatives and DR.. Honorio Szel-
tagowski, lawyer and an Argentine,
too, despite his name.
Both encounters were with swords
In the former case honor was ad-
judged to have been satisfied when
Rodriguez had been forced backward
to. the barrier without being hurt, a
result which is understood to have
panied him more than it would to
have been killed. Moreno was jabbed
liz the arm. No one has been killed
in duel here for several years, but
nothing would be done about it, prob.
ably, if someone were killed.

HARRY LAUDER BUYS
A SCOTCH ESTATE
(By United Press)

London, Dec. 6.-Harry Lauder, who
has amassed fortune mostly by anus
ing the American public, and who
never willingly lets any of it go, let
loose of a goodly sum today when he
bought the famous estate of Glen Ban
ter and the lands of Baltimore, COM
prising more than $4,000 acres. Glen
Banter belonged to David MacBrayne,
the ship owner of Glasgow.
The mansion house on LADDERS new
G! tate stands about four miles from
The pier at Strachur. Water, hills and
pasture land are included within the
boundaries of the estate. Harry also

four miles of Loeb Eky, which falls
into his possession with the land.
