LAST APPEAL IS
ISSUED FOR
SAILORS

At the outbreak of war with Ger
many California was allotted quot.
Of about 5000 men to be enlisted by
May 5. To date only about 5000 men
have been enlisted, which leaves Cali
fornia last of all states in the Union
as to obtaining its quota.
Chief Yeoman Haddon, in charge
of the recruiting in Imperial Valley,
returned yesterday from San Diego,
and states that they have received in
formation that the present campaign
will end on May 5. 1t is believed that
conscripion will be put into effect
about that date.
Young men between the ages of Il
and 80 are urged to come forward at
orce. The men who enlist of their
own accord can hold their heads a
little higher than those who will be
forced into the service, and in acse
of conscription it is probable that

In time of war the navy offers
many advantages not offered by the

ter where the duty of a navy man
may be, his home is with him at all
times. He is assured of three square

always get a full nights rest.
An appeal is made at this time to
the young men who possess the neces-
sery qualifications in Imperial Valley

week may be too late to get in the
navy, due to the effect of the con-
scription bill, which will probably be

Labor is cooperating with the secre-
tary of agriculture and ways and
means are being devised to assist the

"The government desires the maxi
mum of production during the war,

economy. The ranchers of the nation
ere looked upon as the patriots of the

upon them during the struggle now
coing on"
After discussing the needs of the
nation at this time, Mr.. Bryan took
ur his lecture theme, stating that in
aemuch as no subject had been as
signed him, he would choose "Fun-
damentals." There were three fun
dsmentals, according to the speaker
mans relation with his Maker, with
his government and with society. Mr..
Eryan reversed the order and dis
cnssed the loyalty demanded of a cit
lien to his government and declared
that, regardless of the nationality of
a man, that his duty lay with the gov
ernment as long as he was being shell
tered under the flag.
Mr.. Bryan referred sententiously to
his entrance into politics and declared
that it was the results of accident
that he became congressman from
Nebraska, but his continuance in the
field of politics later was due to in
tention on his part. He said that on
three separate occasions he had at
tempted to abandon the lecture plat
form, but the will of the people COM
PEELED him to temporarily abandon the
idea of being president and continue
as a lecturer.

CARE OF COMPLEXION.
Why Our Skins Are Msds Brown b,
the Sun.


That freckles are caused by the heat
from the sun seems TO be an exploded
theory now. The light is given as the
cause. and In order to protect the skin
from the too strong rays the coloring
matter. or brown paint, as II were. alb
serbs the suns rays to protect the thin
walled blood vessels so close to the
surface.
While sunlight Is very necessary,
only a certain degree Of II Is good for
US. Beyond that II does US harm.
Some people can stand so much moro
Of the suns rays than others without
browning. such as those who live In
the tropics. Their brown pigment pro-
tects their bodies. Many would rather
endure our northern winters than to-
be brown as berries.
Chiffon wells and other close nlmy
materials should be worn during pro-
longed exposure TO the suns rays and
wind toy preserve the complexion and
also save the trouble Of trying to get
rid Of the freckles or tan.

SAID THE GOVERNOR OF
NORTH CAROLINA

In his recent inaugural address,
Governor T. w. Beckett, Of North
Carolina, illustrated graphically the
need of diversified farming through
out the South. Certainly the follow
ing is a forcible and picturesque
arrangement Of the policy Of grow
ing a single cash crop and depend
ing on outside districts TO supply
food for man and beast. Governor
Beckett said:
IF I were the Car Of North Caro-
lima instead of Governor, I would
issue an edict declaring that from
and after five years from date, any
man who imported into North Caro-
lima any corn or meal, wheat or
flour, beef or bacon, should be forth
with hanged without trial by jury
and without benefit Of clergy. OF
course, in the beginning, would be
denounced as an infamous tyrant,
but after the law had been in effect
for ten years, the richest State in
the Union would build monument
to me as the financial redeemer OF
my people,"
Governor Bickett's program for the
improvement Of country life con-
tains other recommendations quite
as interesting as the passage which
we have here quoted. He advocates,
among other things, training the
girls of the State as faithfully in
the science of the kitchen as the
boys in that Of the corn-fleld." He
advocates requiring the State High
way Commission engineers to pre-
pare plans and specifications for all
those who desire to install water,
lights and telephones in country
homes. He asks for the appropria-
ton OF $4,000 to provide moving
picture entertainments in rural
schools and the submitting to the
people Of a constitutional amend
ment establishing six months
school term for every child IN the
State.-In the Outlook for February

City Managing q Profession.

When the commissioners In charge
Of Niagara Falls, N. Y. were looking
about for manager for the city they
heard of young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich, named Carr. Cadillac was pay
ing Carr $500 as city manager, and II
figured that II had made a good In
vestment, for he had saved the city
$1,000 out of budget of $4,000.
Carr looked over the ground ut Mag
ara Falls and said he would take the
job at 5000. But he agreed to save
the city $4,000 by putting the city on a
business basis. II looks as II he would
make good.
That's what the city manager plan
makes possible. II builds up a corps
OF trained men who know how cities
ought to run. Then II permits a city
to bid for the services of man who is
conspicuously successful In the bust
