Favor Cattle.

The cattle industry at Calipatria is
taking on large proportions and the
demand for alfalfa land is stronger
than at any time before, for dairy
cattle feeding, and new bodies of land
for grazing are also in strong de-
mand, due to the many carloads Of
cattle being shipped in from Arizona
and New Mexico.
Unimproved land is being leveled,
checked and bordered just as fast as
possible, and the Coates & Williamson
people have just about completed all
of the work on the unimproved land
of the Balfour- Guthrie Company's 10,-
900 acres, and will have the entire
tract ready for cotton planting in the
early spring.
In order to do this, they have been

tainment of degree of coordination

service never before attained and by
the development of degree of genius
on the part of the French comman-
ders which shows France conclusive
ly at the highest point of the military
power she has developed in the pres

Of the morale of the men who ac-
complished this great achievement, I
can speak personally. A few days
after the reoccupation of Vaux I vis-
tied the troops in the front line
trenches before the fort. They had
been there for days under a terrific
bombardment, suffering hardships
that it seemed inconceivable that hu-
man beings could sustain, living an
existence that seemed to make the lot
of their comrades whose dead bodies
lay, wind and rain beaten, in the ad-
jacent shell holes, one to be desired
and preferred thousand times over
And yet these men were gay; gay
with the consciousness of men who
have done their duty, and gay with
the consciousness that they had at
tanned for France a superiority over
the enemy for which every one of
them was willing to die that it might
be eternally maintained.
