WASHINGTON. Aug 81 So
serious does Pres't Wilson consider
the coal situation that he today
called off the regular cabinet meet
Ing and cancelled a number of inn
portant engagements i'm order that
he personally can cope with it.
In announcing this fact the white
house took occasion TO characterize
as misleading certain reports that
judge Robert S. Lovett had been
clothed with dictatorial powers 10

president has designated Judge
Lovett as priority commissioner"
the white house said, in order that
he can relieve the shortage i'm the
northwest which is getting worse.
He can do this through the orders
issued by him last night compelling
all railroads TO carry fuel either to
lake ports for trans-shipment or di-
rectly into northwest territory.
Will Choose Dictator.
The president will decide on the
coal dictator today if possible. He
has list of names on his desk at
the present time. This dictator will
be. officials say, the strongest man
that can be found as his task will
be no easy one.
The coal situation at this mo-
ment is far worse than the food
shortage" a high administration Of
fetal said today. 1T must be cleared
up az once unless serious disaster is
to come"
From every section of the country
appeals are being made directly to
the white house for action TO reduce
the price Of coal The present quo
tations today range from double 10
five times the price charged a year
ago. And. even at the increased
figure there is very little fuel TO
be had. Coal merchants are de-
luged with orders and cannot get
the commodity to FIN them. And.
despite the fact that the federal
trade commission has been occupied
for months investigating the entire
subject. il has failed TO md rem

Such an individual, il was admitted,
was hard TO locate.
The president believes that the
price of coal can be brought down
to approximately the level of last

Buy That Farm Now Before the
Railroad Is Completed.
The railroad at Calipatria which
is now under construction is going
to be a big thing for all of the
North End lands, as it will open up
this vast territory to fine transpor-
tation facilities and will naturally in
crease the value of this land to a
large extent and is the one big rea-
son why you should buy a farm
here without delay.
If you want a farm or have been
thinking of getting one, here is the
big opportunity of the valley, be-
cause you can still get in at the
low price that was placed on these
lands before any of the great i'm
provements were started.
These Calipatria Farms of the I'M
perial Valley Farm Lands Associa-
ton are under one of the best water
systems in the Valley, they have the
best soil that any section of the Val
ley can offer, which means the best
on earth, and now they are going
to have the very best transportation
facilities, and, better still, this rail-
road is bound to increase values, so
get in now and reap this benefit
yourself instead of waiting and hav-
ing to pay some one else a nice
profit.
Buy 40 or 80 acres now at the pres
ent low price and on the easy terms
offered and let the land pay for it
self from the crops its produces. See

this now and let him tell you all
