on the rear end of the sled, jumped off.

Willard, steering, and Edison Tefts
were carried with the traverse under
the sleigh, escaping in some way the
horse s hoofs. Edison Tefts was badly
cut about his head and face and was
carried to d. +. Boutelle S house,
whore he is staying with his grand
mother, Mrs. Derry, and DR.. F. l.. Os-
good was called, who found no bones

Belief Gains Ground That Central
High Will Walk Away With

A High School rally in celebration
of the Central football teams victory
over CaleXico was held yesterday in
the assembly hall.
Ira HARRISON, James Matheson, Joe
Douglas and Odin Thaanum gave
speeches in which they called atten-
ton to the fact that Central had the
material for strong championship
team and had already got good start
in that direction, but that everybody
must keep on pushing or some team
which was not expected to might slip
something over. A bigger turnout
for football was asked.
After the speeches were concluded,
Clifford North led the yells for the
team and the rally was concluded by

Story That Enlisted Men Oppose Loan
Refuted by Handsome Amount

ARREST OFTEN DERS
(By Associated Press)


Washington. Oct. 13.-Many arrests
of persons denouncing the Liberty loan
were made in various parts of the
country today as a result of reports
from the Department of Justice that
enemies of the country were cndeav-
ing to prevent citizens from buying
the bonds.
The Treasury Department is con-
sidering stern measures Of repression
of enemy agents who are attempting
to incite popular feeling against the
bonds. This action will be based upon
reports Of surreptitious activities of
seditious individuals which are said
to have extended even to Washing
ton.
The anti-Liberty loan propagandists
charge that the men in the national
enlisted army are bitterly opposed to
the war and to the loan. This is re-
futed by the announcement that army
subscriptions total $26,00O,O00.
More than 10000 clergymen will de-
liver sermons on behalf of the loan
Sunday, and the "Star-Spanglcd Ban
ner" will be sung in almost every
church in America.

THOUSAND BEET
FIELD WORKERS
READY TO COME
VALLEY AT LAST SEES SUPPLY
OF LABOR.
RELEASED ON NOV. l
COAST BEET MEN WILLING TO
LET THEM GO.
Labor Agent Davenport to Leave To-
morrow for Coast Fields to Se-
cure Thousand Mexicans.

County Labor Agent Davenport will
leave for Los Angeles county tomor-
row night to arrange for the ship
ment to the valley on November l of
one thousand imported Mexican la
borers to work in the cotton and
corn.
A meeting of the County Council
Of Defense will be held this evening
to devise ways and means Of raising
the $4,000 or $4,000 necessary to bring
the men to the Valley. It is believed
that rate Of SIS can be secured on
the Southern Pacific.
The promise Of the laborers is the
result Of correspondence between the
labor agent and beet sugar raisers
Of Orange, Los Angeles and Kern
counties, and with r. L. Adams, state
labor agent at Berkeley.
Beet sugar men last spring import
ed 1900 Mexicans from Sonora and
Chihuahua for work in the beet fields,
under the stipulation that they must
be returned to Mexico at the end Of
six months. MIR. Davenport and Ga
len Nichols, chairman of the County
Defense Council, have wired the U. s.
Department of Labor to allow them
to use the Mexicans until March Is
before they are returned to their ma
tive country. No answer has been
received up to press time.
In the correspondence with the beet
men OF Los Alamitos, San Fernando
and OXnard, it developed that the
MeXicans will finish their labor in the
fields on November !. The beet men
will be glad to release them, but
request that they be allowed to re-
turn to the beet fields in the spring,
when thinning will begin.
State Labor Agent Adams, in his
letter, states that the impression is
strong all over the state that the wa
ter shortage this summer so cut down
the yields Of cotton and corn in I'm
perail Valley that there are enough
pickers and cutters here now to take
care of the "meagre" crop. How this
false information got abroad is q
question which cotton men can per-
haps explain.
Mr.. Davenport wire dthe beet men
that he could use one thousand men
for cotton and corn work. It is now
up to the farmers to raise the neces-
sary money to bring the men here.
The project of getting Mexicans from
Sonora has been abandoned.
