Were they not both the outcome Of
a civilization that had gone off on
the wrong road? That had made
material success the measure of the
world?
The war is the growth of the con
fict Of commercial ambitions. The
desire for trade expansion or for
territorial growth in order to pro-
mote trade was behind the call to
arms. Fundamentally the national
ambitions that caused the war are
akin to the private. individual ambi-

THE JOY OF DOING GOOD.

If there is JOY i'm giving for the

these DAYS. He has spread his bene-
factions with lavish hand I'm the
community in which he lives and yet
has shown a wisdom not always
manifested in such good works by
so arranging his 5eneficences that
they shall prove their worth and be
enjoyed by all And he is selfish
enough to think he has a right TO
participate in the enjoyment of see
ing the realization Of his plans.

ADVISES ALL
! TO [ HOLD HOGS
FOR 10 CENTS
p. p. HovIey, of BrawIey, Says
Farmers Here Are Foolish to Ac-
cept Less Than That Price While
Eastern Markets Are Soaring
(Brawley Starr

II the farmers of the Imperial valley
will stop to think, that, at the present
prices of corn and barley, it will cost
them from seven to eight cents per
pound to put pork on the hogs, in ad-
dition to the overhead expense, and,
if they stop to realize that Kansas
City and Chicago are paying eleven
and half to twelve cents per pound
for hogs, they will readily see that
they could get better price for their
hogs than is now being offered by the
Los Angeles Packing houses, declares
Peter P. HovIey, president Of the
American State Bank Of this city.
Formerly, we were getting higher
prices for our hogs than Kansas City
or Chicago were paying. Therefore,
whenever shortage occurred in Los
Angeles or San Francisco, hogs were
shipped from the east. At the prices
prevailing in the east, it would not be
profitable to ship hogs to California;
and therefore, Imperial valley and San
Joaquin Valley will have to supply the
demand for California, because within
thirty days, there will be no hogs ship
ped from Idaho and Nevada to Cali
fornia, owing to the fact that pack
ing house is being erected in Salt
Lake City.
If all the hog raisers in Imperial
valley would. refuse to sell their nogs
for less than ten cents pound, it
would only be a matter of week un-
til the buyers would be ready to pay
the price And would therefore, urge
the newspapers of the valley to pre-
sent this matter to their readers, for
once to stand together and all agree
not to sell unless they get at least a
little profit on their labor and feed.
It seems to me that this would be
q matter to be taken up by the Farm
Bureau, and if properly advocated, it
would be sure to produce results.
