Battalion Possibly Will Be
Distributed From Ell Centr0

Sheriff Applestill is Of the opinion
that the battalion Of the Twenty y-fifth
infantry due to arrive at Ell Centro
tomorrow night or Monday morning
will possibly be distributed through
three valley towns. 1t was Sheriff
ApplestilPs understanding that Ad-
iutant General Thomas, who inspected
local conditions recently, would rec
ommend that one company be sent to
Holtville, two companies to Calexico
and one company to Ell Centro. If
this recommendation was made it is
entirely possible that the battalion
On its way here now was ordered to
Ell Centre as a distributing base.
Lieutenant Clark of the cavalry
command stationed at Calexico, at the
telegraphed request of the commander
of the infantry battalion, came to Ell
Centre yesterday afternoon to select
site for camp for the latter.
He was welcomed by Mayor A. W..
Swanson and representatives of civic
bodies and taken to various sites suit
able for a camp. Lieutenant Clark
will recommend that the battalion use
the vacant county property near Ninth
and Main streets, City Water Super
intendent Field promising to provide
water at that place for the soldiers.
The battalion on it's way to the
valley consists of 285 men and b ten
officers under the command Of Major

Cotton Men Gather at
CaleXicO Conference Today

whitest, strongest" are terms we have
used, until we have mesmerized and
have rather become satisfied to let
well enough alone. Bluff frequently
works on the other fellow, but when
a man fools himself into resting on
his laurels and becomes complacent
he neglects to think and work, and
courts disaster. Up to the present
that has rather been our attitude to-
ward our cotton industry. Are we
not growing larger acreages than any
other section Of the country? Are
there not more gins at Calexico than
in any other town in the United
States? Do we not haul more cottor
to the load than cotton growers else
where? We compiacently answer:
"Why, of course"
These facts have advertising value
but that is all. So let US accord them
their proper value and get down tc
essentials. We do not grow the
"longest, whitest, strongest" cotton
nor the "best" cotton, but we have
resources which most of the Southern
cotton growing country does not en-
joy, and by developing these resources
we can market cotton from the I'm.
perial Valley that will be equal to the
best of it's kind in the world. Now
that, it seems to me, is what we want
to do.
There is nothing gained for our cot.
ton industry by any attempt to startlt
the world indiscriminately by fictitious
claimed superiority for our cotton

press and that man is the ultimate

Cotton growers from all parts OF
the valley gathered today at Calexico
under the auspices of the County Farm
Bureau to study the needs of the I'M
perial Valley cotton industry. Expert
enced men, including Thomas P. DAILY,
Walter E.Packard of the State Expert
ment Station, and Argyle McLachlan,
formerly of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, were on the
program with lectures of strong local
significance.
Mr.. McDeavitt also addressed the
meeting.
President R. E. Wills of the County
Farm Bureau presided and at noon the
Farmers and Merchants Association
Of Calexico and the Lower California
Agricultural Association were hosts
at luncheon given those in attend
ance at the Calexico hotel.
Argyle McLachlan was unable to
be present at the Cotton Conference
and A. w. Palmer read for him the
following lecture:
Cashing Our Advantages.
Argyle McLachlan
Complacency is a term descriptive
of our general attitude of mind to-
ward our Imperial Valley cotton in
dustry. Valley cotton took a prize at
the New York Land Show several
years ago; last year Imperial Valley
reported the first bale ginned in the
United States. We have been in the
habit of assuring ourselves that we
are growing cotton superior to any
other in the United States. Longest

us money for it and therefore the man
we want to impress with the valuable
ness of our product: What qualities in
the cotton can we, by our intelligence
and effort, supply which will make it
desirable to him? And how can we
grow cotton with these qualities. This
is all important knowledge for US to
incorporate into our growing activi
ties.
The discriminating user of cotton
who will pay the best price for the
qualities we can put into our cotton
wants a bale Of cotton with fibers as
nearly as possible all of length. This
sort Of cotton spins with very little
waste and, if sufficiently even, can be
spun without "combing," very ex-
pensive and slow process in the manu-
facture of cotton. Cotton that is even
running thus saves the manufacturer
time and money. He is seeking this
sort Of cotton and is willing to pay
extra for it. He also finds a finan-
cial advantage to his operations in
cotton that is uniformly strong. Such
cotton does not break in spinning and
makes the best yarns. Furthermore,
clean cotton, free from leaf and other
trash, saves the manufacturer the ex-
tensive cleaning operations and per-
mits him to use the cotton in fancy
goods which sell at a premium. This
also means added profit to him, so
that he is seeking clean cotton and
is willing to pay a good premium for
it. A year ago in New Orleans 1 saw
some of our staple cotton, strict low
middling, sell for cents a pound,
or $40 per bale, under our strict mid
ding cottons-only full grades diff
ference. AS between we'll grown, strict
to good middling cotton of even-run-
ming length, and poorly grown strict
low middling to middling cotton un-
even in length, l do not exaggerate

bale difference in price in the ul-
innate market-the market which we
are cultivating and which we can
reach. 1t is easy to see that by neg
lecting to make full use Of the advan-
tages to our hand in the Imperial VAL
ley we can easily throw away, not only
thousands of dollars, but hundreds Of
thousands, on $4,000 to 1OO,O0O-bale
crop.
I have stated the attitude of the
buyer-user in regard to the qualities
in cotton which he is always seeking.
And want to impress upon you that,
there is real profit to him in these
qualities 80 that he is willing to pay
for them. He is the man we want to
impress with the fact that we have
the quality cotton he is seeking. He
wants as much as we will ever grow

Col. Dodd Reported
Close On Villas Heels

Ell Paso, March 25.-Villa is believed
to have escaped from the American
Carranza trap in the Namiquipa re-
gion. With many of his followers he
is reported to have reached the San
Miguel country. The fact that there
are no reports from Namiquipa con-
firms this belief. 1t is believed the
American column has lost the Villa
track.
Ell Paso, March 25.-The Villa main
force of 200 men is at Santa Clara
canyon, thirty miles from it's west
ern entrance, with Colonel Dodd close
at the bandits heels, General Gavira
stated today.
Villa is nearly surrounded, General
Gavira declared. His only escape is
through the eastern end of the can
yon and Carranzistas near Laguna, il
is believed, will cut him off. Santa
Clara canyon is 200 miles long. Co.
operating forces caused Villas pres
cnt flight. Arrivals from Chihuahua
City reported General Luis Herrera
still loyal.

H. D. Jacobs, United Press Staff.
Field Headquarters in Mexico,
March 25.-The American troopers are
suffering from cold. Snow, sleet, wind
and rain have swept down from the
Sierra Madre mountains and the sand
is blowing, causing much suffering.
Colonia Dublan and the Mormon vii
layers are furnishing the soldiers with
chickens, food and fruit. A hospital
and postoffice have been established
at headquarters. The men and horses
are we'll and all are anxious to get

Sussex, plying the English chan

dOed last evening and fifty lives
are believed to have been lost.
Among the missing are two
Americans, Elizabeth Baldwin and
her father, of Philadelphia.
There were 1856 passengers and
a crew of about so. Three Amer
leans aboard the vessel declare
they saw the torpedo coming to-
ward the vessel just before the
explosion. Among the passen-
gers was John Fl. Hearty, Unit

Rescue boats stood by and the
stricken vessel was later tOwed
into French port.
Washington, March 25-Again
the question is raised abruptly of
the sinking of merchant and pas
senger vessels carrying Ameri-
cans without the submarine giving
warning or escort for those on
board to a place Of safety. This
comes through the sinking of the
channel steamer Sussex, and the
incident has made the crisis be-
tween this country and the Cen
trail Powers still more intense,
though only inference points to
Germany as the nation responsible
for this violation of the rights of
Americans.

Two matters of great interest will
come before the conference of mutual
water company and irrigation dis
tpict directors Monday.
The first of these is the matter of
advance payment of water rentals by
the mutual companies to the district,
to finance the plans submitted by En-
gineer C. R. lockwood. There is some
opposition to advance payments for
water, and it will make difference
of about 100000 by July whether
the money is paid in advance or not,

in one case providing about 100000
and in the other about 100000.
The second point that probably will
be discussed will come from the SUBJ
mission of a telegram from Attorney
M. w. Conkling, outlining the pro-
posed deal between the Imperial-La-
guna Water Company and the Recla-
nation Service, with submission of a
counter plan, whereby the district will
undertake to be sponsor for the rec

arrangement with the Reclamation
Service. Advocates Of both proposals

Both Vessels Lost.

London, March 25.-Battling in the
North Sea, February 29, the German
commerce raider Grief and the un-
protected cruiser Alcantara, of 49,
200 tons, were both sunk, the admiral
ty announced today. The Grief flew
the Norwegian flag and opened fire
and sank the Alcantara, then found
cred from wounds received from the
British vessel before it sank. One
hundred and eighty of the Grief's
crew perished. Five officers and 11G
men were made prisoners.
The Grief slipped out of Kiel quiet
ly, disguised as Norwegian tramp
The Alcantara was patroling the
North sea, hailed her and asked the
identity Of the ship. The German
commander replied with a fictitious
name, arousing suspicion. The AL
cantara launched lifeboat armed
with sailors to examine the papers of
the stranger, when suddenly the guns
were unmasked and the German flag
run up. The British and Teuton guns
were fired simultaneously. The Grief
fought for ten minutes and the AL
cantara sank in three minutes, when
a torpedo launched from the Grief
ended her.
