FRANCE ARRANCES FOR TRADE CREDIT
 OF $25,000,OOQl

New York, Aug. 24-Brown Bros. & Go. announced yesterday the comple- ton of negotiations for the extension of a second commercial credit to France. The new credit is for $25,- 100000 and was arranged with ten French banks, under the auspices of the Banque de France, to facilitate the export to France of an equivalent amount of American merchandise.
 The new credit runs for one year and is to be availed of by ninety-day sight drafts. It is secured by col lateral, consisting of French govern ment bonds. which are held in New York, and payment in gold at Nav York at maturity is guaranteed by the Banque de France. A number of other firms and banks participate with Brown Bros. & Go. in the advance.
 It was just a year ago that France arranged similar commercial credit here for $20,o0O,0oo. This has not been exhausted, it was said yesterday. and the advances made under it are being repaid as fast as they fall due ''asf5s
 The purpose of the credits is to en- able American exporters to be paid in dollars in the United States. elim-

mating the risks of exchange, and so encouraging exports. It will enable French buyers of American merchan- disc and other commodities, who have found it difficult to obtain exchange with which to settle their accounts in the United States, to make payments through their own banks.
 With this credit Frances borrow ings in the United States since the out break of war total nearly half a bil- lion dollars. Besides her half inter- est of $250, 0,000.000 in the Anglo French loan and the $100,O0O,U00 re- gently borrowed on one-year per cent. treasury notes and $3O,OO0,OOO on per cent. treasury bonds.
 Both of these loans have been re- paid. She arranged the commercial credit on Aug. 24, 1915, which is now being renewed. and obtained $30,O00,- 900 on a collateral loan made through the Rothschilds on Pennsylvania Railroad and St. Paul bonds. Two acceptance credits, totaling $30,00O,- 900. were also arranged here. These loans amount to 495,000, ,000.

a few shares some recation resulting from profit-taking may occur, but the general undertone is good and based upon general industrial prosperity, which seems quite adequate to offset a poor harvest. The general results in crop yield, not value, are expected to be about 10 per cent. below last year; and yet in spite of this draw back the railroads are anticipating a car famine owing to the trememndous pressure of industril traffic. With big exports ahead, active business east of the Mississippi, easy money everywhere and generally sound business condi- tions there Is little to interfere with Stock Exchange activity. The labor situation is still regarded as serious, and much will depend upon the out come of the Presidents efforts to prevent a railroad strike.

WHY MEN
Chew TOBACCO
It's the Only Way That Real Tobacco
Hunger Can Be Entirely
Satisfied
"rENN's THICK" the IDEAL CHEW

Since tobacco was first introduced
to civilization, nobody has ever dis
covered so supremely satisfactory .
way to get all the favor and enjoy.
ment out Of it as chewing it. And
no other form of chew can give you
the hearty, wholesome, juicy favor
that you get from delicious high
grade plug tobacco, like Penn's
Thick.
The secret of the greatest chew
ing satisfaction lies in the selection
of your chew. Among plug tobac-
cos the brand that gets the most en-
thusiastic endorsements is undoubt-
edly Penn's Thick. The reason tor
this is not hard to find.
Penn's Thick is made exclusively
of ripe, white Kentucky Burley-
the most richly-havored chewing to-
bacco that grows. Still more, only
the very choicest of all the Burley
leaf is used for PENIS Thick, and
you get its natural favor.
This choice leaf is selected with
the most painstal1ing care, is STEM
med by hand, is thoroughly washed
free Of all foreign matter and is
pressed into plugs so slowly that not
a drop of juice or an atom OF the
natural favor escapes.
The result is a sweet, mellow, lus-
cious, satisfying chew that cannot
be obtained in any other tobacco
than Penn's Thick. Try a loc cut
to-day.

PUBLIC FORUM
(By Clarence ". Barton)

/, (By Clarence ". Barton)
The disappointment of the peopl
because of the action of the city coun
! Gil in declining the offer of land ant
: money for a playground and conlfor
, station has resulted in such a genera
demand upon me for the name of tn,
party whose generosity made all OF
this available merely for the accepting
tnat l have secured permission tc
make public the name of the donor
This permission has been given reluc-
iantly and only because / have insisted
that it was necessary on account of
the aspersions and innuendoes to which
expression was given at the meeting
Of the council Wednesday night.
The donor is Will S. Fawcett, pio-
neer in the Valley. who until recently
has lived in the country and there
fore has seen over and over the ne
cessity for the sort of convenience
which it was his desire to make avail
able for the use of the people of the
country who come to this city. Mr..
Fawcett does not own a foot of proper
ty within half a mile of the Womans
Club lots and so could not by any
stretch of imagination gain any profit
through having this property dedicated
@ public use, nor is there any other
aspect in which any person desiring
o be fair and honest can esteem this
nything but generous and unselfish
.ift to meet a demand which he as an
public-spirited man, has
cen is an urgent and pressing one for
his city in which he has now made l
is home.
The reason for selecting these par ;
icular lots for the gift was the one ]
9hich a member of the city council
rankly scorned-namely, sentiment
al one. Mrs. Fawcett is past pres
dent Of the Woman's Club and has !
Imperial Valley press., 1916-12-22

shared with the other pioneer women
the ambition that this property should
be dedicated to this particular use, and
so, in offering these particular lots
to the city for a playground, rest room
and comfort station, Mr.. Fawcett has
Joined with his wife and made the de-
sires of a generous heart conform to
the sentiment of public-spirited
woman. 1t may be, as the member of
the council insisted, that this sort of
sentiment is not to be countenanced
by discriminating business men, but it
is at least sin for which most of US
will be disposed to be indulgent Fur
thermore, Mr.. Fawcett cherished the
hope that this might be the begin
ming of system of several little parks
dotted about the city at different
places.
Finally, this gift was entirely un-
solicited. No one at all asked Mr.
Fawcett to do it. No member of the
Woman's Ten Thousand Club, with the
exception of his wife, knew anything
about it until it was presented to them
by me, and no one of them has since !
been Informed who the purchaser of
the lots was to be. The matter did
not come to me as a real estate agent
at all, but only because l happened
or the moment to be chairman of the
particular committee of the Chamber
# Commerce which Mr.. Fawcett was
Informed that such matter should
naturally be referred to.
There was no dark mystery in con-
lection with the matter there was no
niger in the woodpile" there was no
akeoff or commissions for anyone;
'ere was no sinister purpose in con-
ection with the project, and there are
o regrets now, except those of Mr..
nd Mrs. Fawcett, that it has not been
ossible to make this thing available,
nd my own, that they did not confide
beir project to some one who might
ave been able to bring it to a hap
ier consummation.

CALIPATRIA STOCKYARDS
WILL BE ENLARGED

Up to this time the yards at Cali
patria consisted of a loading chute,
with pen covering ground space of
approximately 15Ox89 feet, which has
for several months been too small, and
the lack of water facilities has also
proven a hardship in handling this
stock.
The yards now being constructed,
and which will be entirely completed
within week or ten days, occupy a
SPACE of approximately 50Ox100 feet
ard comprise twelve holding pens or
corrals, each 40x56 feet, with one large
corral 15Ox10O feet. Standard scales
for weighing and adjustable chutes
for loading have also been installed.
Another quarter of mile of two-inch
pipe has been laid, connecting with
one of the Calipatria four-inch water
mains, SO that an ample water supply
is provided, and with the necessary
troughs, the watering of the cattle,
sheep and hogs in loading and unload
ing, will be the best that the valley
affords.
These new and commodious yards
will undoubtedly attract many shippers
Of cattle to Calipatria, which is bound
to be big industry here, as cattle
sheep and hogs form the backbone OF
any farming community, and this gives
another evidence of the substantial
growth Of Calipatria.

desperate attacks and counter attacks, for many days past, thousands of men have fallen, for this is a position which is essential to the Germans for carrying their advance nearer to Yer dun itself, and to the French to keep their resistance intact.
 The Russians and Italians are lend ing all their strength to the combined blow against the central powers and Bucharest reports a significant move ment of Russian patrols, which are said to have advanced from Kimpo- tung, in BukOwina, and entered Hun garian territory. All along the Rus sian front enga agements of the seyerest character are in progress and the Russians, driving north from Kolomea, have advanced more than twenty General BOthmer's army and the Aus trO-German forces in the Tarnopol region. Should this Russian move ment prove successful. Won Bothmer may have to fall back on Lemberg.
 The Russians report the capture of many guns and more than 5000 pris- Oners on the various sectors of the eastern front.
 Though the official communications with respect to the battles along the AustrO-Italian front give only a mea- gre idea of the situation as a whole, that issued by the Italian war office indicates that the artillery and infan- try fighting is of continuous and desperate nature. The Austrian war office is silent regarding the operations against the Italians.

The French troops, cooperating with the British in the Somme river region, have strengthened their line somewhat by the capture of Barleux, BeIOy- -Santerer and Estrees and are advancing on considerably wider front toward PerOnne At Estrees, where 800 prisoners were taken the fighting is still going on furiOusly.
 On the British end of the line, only slight progress has been made at some points Unofficial despatChes say that the entire British front of ninety miles is bearing it's full share of the battle, but it is towards the south that the heaviest fighting is under way
 A high British officer is authority for the statement that artillery prep aration will precede all furather in fantry attacks, as the resOurcefulness, determination and fighting qualities of the Germans, as well as the power of their defenses, are well recognized.
 Although the French are making a steady advance in the Somme sector dithout apparently heavy casualties and now face an easier task, accord ing to expert opinion, to reach their objective, the river itself, the Verdun army is engaged in particularly heavy fighting, the Germans not having per mitted the battle of the SOmme to in terfere with their operations for the capture of the great fortress. On the Verdun front the Germans have taken the ThiaumOnt work for the fourth time, after a terrific bombardment and by a nas5ed attack. Around this work, which has been the center of

PARKER WOULD PERPETUATE
 THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY Asks Fellow Partisans to Continue to Fight for Their Honest Convictions

New Orleans, La, July 4.-In tele- gram sent today to the Third district congressional committee of the pro- gressive party in Louisiana, John M. Parker, the progressive vice presiden- tial nominee, urged the prOgressives to continue the fight against the dem ocrats and to stand by thir convic- lions 'FunteTTifed by desertion and fearless of any opposition"
 We should demand immediate res ignation of those endorsing parties," he said, should strictly adhere to our principles and ask support and CO., operation of all parties working for national good and human welfare. We are not seeking to get into the band wagon. Our principles are either right or Wrongs and as long as we firmly believe we are right. let us continue the fight for our honest convictions, unterrif1ed by desertion and fearless of any oppositiOn.'
 Asked if this telegram indicated he would not support either the repub- lican or democratic nominees for pres ident, but would insist on the pro gressives keeping a ticket in the field, MT Parker said he presumed it did" and that he would have a definite statement on the subject within a few days

ROOSEVELT ADDRESSED
 HIS FELLOW VILLAGERS
Told Them He Preferred War to the Peace We Are Now Having With Mexico.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, July 4-Theodore Roosevelt, addressing his fellow viI- lagers at a Fourth of July celebration here today for the first time in sev- eTaI years, asserted that he preferred war to the peace that the United States is at present having with Mex ico.
 He added that in the event of actual declaration of war and a call for vol Unteers he would give his home folk the first opportunity to join with him in prOffering their services to the gov ernnent. I
 Colonel Roosevelt declared, however, that he would rally around him the single men and those without fami- lies dependent upon them rather than choose promiscuously from all classes of men as in the case of the national guardsmen now called to the border
 The former president did not expect to make a speech, but Frederick R. COudert, who was the orator of the day, introduced him and the villagers would not rest until Colonel Roosevelt Ina daddressed them. The speech was very brief He carefully refrained from mentioning the presidential cam paign and reference to the Mexican situation and the possibility of call for volunteers only in a casual way.
 Colonel Roosevelt reviewed a, parade of the villagers headed by Maurice E.. Townsend, with whom he went to school as a boy.
