Great Industrial Power.
If the unorganized manhood strength
Of the United States Is imposing the
industrial capacity Of the nation Is
even more impressive
With less than Oue-tenth OF the
worlds population. we make nearly
one-third OF all the things produced.
In iron and steel for instance, we
turn out more than Great Britain and
Germany. the two next largest pro-
ducers, DO together
Greater Than Rest Of World.
Some observers have estimated the
present Industrial capacity OF the
United States at as much as all the
rest OF the world put together. While
this IS perhaps an over estimate, large
scale production has been carried 70
such fine point here that no nation
can approach Us in the total pro

times more than Germany and five

Several Grounds.

A demurrer has been filed by A. w.
Khan to the complaint of S. Andrea

there is a defeat ano misjoined Of
the parties, and that the complaint is
ambiguous, and several other clauses
upon which is based the prayer of the
defendant that the complaint Of

Ell Centre live stock furnished a

cars of brick, and / car each of cot

fractured skulls and other injuries
when the stage in which they were
riding ran off the road and turned
over two miles west of Coyote Wells
at II o'clock his morning.
DR.. T. O. Luckett, who is attending
the men, could not tell this after
noon whether or not they would live.
They were both lying unconscious at
the st. Thomas hospital.
A party of San Diego people COM
iEg into the valley discovered the
Cvertured machine with the two men
pinned underneath at 11:15 a. m.
Unable to move the heavy machine
from the bodies of Topey and Rath,
they hurried into Dixieland and tele-
rhoned to the sheriff's office. Dep
uty Frank Cleveland rushed to the
scene and with help picked up at
Dixieland brought the men to this

Just how the machine got into trou-
Bile is not clear, as both men are un-

that the steering gear snapped and
