board to get an extension of thirty
days for Frisbie, to the same effect.
1t is stated by Rose that Frisbie is

out of the East Side mesa project and
that his going would cripple a plan

GRAIN MEN SAY THERE is
DEARTH OF CARS.
But Farm Leader CrOcherOn Finds
That No Cars Have Been Or
dered for Seed Wheat.

Failure of Imperial Valley farmers
to get seed wheat through an appar
ent fault OF neglect Of large dealer
in Los Angeles to ship the wheat ha:
now been taken up by Ralph Merritt
state food administrator, who has SEN
State Farm Leader Crocheron to in
vestigate the situation.
The Imperial County Farm Bureau
has given up its attempt to handle
seed wheat because Of the expense
involved, and has decided to operate
through a large Los Angeles deall
who has an agent in the valley. Eff
forts to get wheat through this deal
er have so far borne no fruit. 1t is
hinted that the grain dealers desire
to have the farmers plant barley ant
not wheat this year is behind the de-
lay.
Mr. Crocheron, who was here yes
terday, inquired by wire of the grain
dealer who had received an order fol
$4,000 pounds of seed wheat, why the
wheat had not been shipped. He re-
ceived reply that he was unable to
get cars The state farm leader then
Ralph p. Merritt for aid
in getting the cars and received an
answer that no cars had been asked
for by the dealer. Whereupon Mr.
Crocheron left for Los Angeles to ask
the dealer why he apparently mis-
represented the situation.

In Society
Ten Thousand Club Has Interesting
Meeting.

Meeting.
The meeting of the Woman's Ten
Thousand Club Thursday afternoon
was largely attended and rull of in
terest. Mrs. Fawcett presided and
called for reports from standing COM
mittees. Mrs. f. B. Fuller, chairman
of the ways and means committee,
gave a detailed and itemiZed report
of the Cantaloupe Festival, given last !
June The gross receipts were
S623.55. After all expenses were de-
Quoted the neat sum Of $246.99 was
turned over to the club and treas
urer; also a 5000 Liberty Bond. The
president thought this very fine
report, and a standing vote of thanks
was given Mrs. Fuller and her COM
mittee. Mrs. Beeman, county librar-
ian and chairman of the War Library,
gave a short talk, asking the club TO
give their cooperation to children
who are to carry on the campaign Tor
getting reading matter for our SOL
diers while they are in training. She
asks the donation of goods books that
will interest our Liberty Boys. Mrs.
Seymour briefly explained the federal
food campaign, which is set aside for
this week all over the United States.
An invitation to Miss Ten Thousand
Clubs, birthday party, to be given
November 10, came through Mrs. Ful-
ler. Although this is only the tenth
year of this young womans life, she
is very precocious person and her
invitation was so we'll worded that 1t
might be termed cordial, patriotic and
mysterious. Of course gifts are al
ways expected at birthday party,
but this lady says, owing to the stress
of war times and the many calls up
on her children, she only asks an IN
crease in family independent of the
stork). So every member is expect
ed to bring a new member. This in
vitation was accepted with thanks.
The place for the party will be told
later. Mrs. Frances, Mrs. Seymour
and Mrs. Poston gave the current
events, the latest news from the war,
and local news was discussed. Mrs.
Ray Edgar then took charge of the
program. Little Miss Nieman gave
a piano solo. Seven little girls in
Sotch costume gave the Highland
Fling dance. They were of Mrs.
Kenahs music class. Ms. Edgar gave
a short talk on thrift and spoke of
the savings of children in the public
schools. In many states this is COM
; pulsory. Mrs. Roberts, principal of
one of the grammar schools, gave her
ideas on the subject, and recommend
ed that some plan be tarted in the
schools in Ell Centric. Mrs. Conley
said the thrift idea should be started
in the very early lives of children in
the home AS a Sunday school teacher
of infant classes she gave several IL
Illustrations of her ideas. Mr.. Shib-
ley, county superintendent, and Mr..
Bouche of the grammar school, gave
their hearty endorsement of the saw
ings bank for the school children, if
practical plan could be e Established.
This closed the program of very en-
tertaining and instructive afternoon.

The government does not ask that
the individual have the slightest doubt
as to the final outcome Of the war.
We will win. But the government
seeks to have every individual realize
that we are fighting no war with
Spain, that we are suppressmg no
revolution, but that we are Iignting
a nation that has held the greatest
nations at bay since 1914, and one
which has just administered to Italy

HAVE NEW GOOSE.
ew Sub-Species Is Found by a
Hunter.

Berkeley, Cal, Nov. 1.-California
has given the world new goose
or at least discovered one which has
long been in the world.
! It's name, the scientists say, is to
be "Anser albifrons gambeli," al
though hunters persist in calling it
just plain ''tue goose" Its new
sub-species of the white-fronted
goose and has Is tail feathers instead
Of l6 like the white-fronted bird,
weighs more and has orange eyeids
instead of gray. 1t lives in open wa
ter instead of frequenting grain fields
and uplands.
4 The new goose was first reported to
the University of California by Geo.
Neale, in charge of the Sacramento
office of the Fish and Game Com
mission Justice Henshaw of the state
supreme court started to get spec-
men for the University.
With Sam Lamme, professional
hunter, he went to the most unfre-
quented and inaccessible part of the
Butte County Clubs preserves. Lamme
pointed out large goose to Justice
Henshaw, saying it was of variety
which never grouped with the white
fronted geese. Lamme called the call
of the white fronted greese, but the
bird in question never needed it. He
then inflated the call Of the 'tule

They'll Never See France.

When the first of the draft army
left Imperial county and friends anc
relatives of the departing boys crowd
ed the station to bid them farewell
one soiacing expression found words
from a greater share Of the people
there to appease, perhaps, the inner
most oualm. and to relieve, possibly
the tenseness of the unusual sltua
ton.
.eThey will never see France.
Strange to say, however, this
thought was absent at the departure
oI the troops this morning. In It's
place new thought, new SPIRIT
was expressed:
~ hone You'll be back soon.
In scarcely more than a month
tine the attitude of the people OF the
county. and, from reports, the people
of the entire nation, toward the war,
has changed and is changing.
Possibly the oratory, the warnings,
the pleas which accompanied the SUD
scriptions to the Second Liberty Loan
have brought about a more serious
consideration of this war. Perhaps
the results of the Russian collapse
and the Italian defeat are being real
lied. Regardless of the cause, pub
liz opinion changes.
1t was pretty thought that most
of us held several months ago, that,
with the Stars and Stripes fluttering
in the breeze, the American troops
would skip merrily over the fields OF
France, accompanied by jazz music
chasing the awed and frightened Ger
mans to their lairs in the Black for
est, while the Kaiser knelt among the
ruins of oHhenzollernism invoking the
assistance of Gott, and that by Christ
mas the great war would be history.
But that was before Our boys left
Before we bought bonds. Before
American transports were sunk. Be
fore war taxes ate into payrolls. Be
fore personal sacrifice was necessary
We hope the war will be over this
winter. We hope our boys will re-
turn, but while hoping, we should be

First Team Runs Up Big Score
Against the Scrubs in Fast
Practice Yesterday.

Football enthusiasm ran high at a
big rally held yesterday in the High
School auditorium for the opening of
a big ticket selling campaign by the
students for the Calexico game next
Saturday on the local gridiron.
Jimmie Matheson, athletic manager
of the High School, gave speech in
which he urged the students to talk
the matter up every chance they got.
''If every student comes and brings
one outsider we will have a record
attendance" he said. Whether or not
we go to the coast to play in the cham
pionship games depends largely on
the attendance at the coming game"
Matheson also gave a financial re-
port of the money gained by last Sat
urday's game, and the report showed
generous amount standing on the cred
it side of the ledger. A good attend
ance at the Calexico game next Satur-
day will probably determine whether
the local eleven will play in the coast
championships or not.
The captain and coach also spoke
about the teams work and are con-
fident of victory over Calexico.
An invitation to all the High School
students was announced by repre-
sentative of the associated churches TO
attend Sunday School Day at the
churches next Sunday. This is in line
with the announcement of Governor
Stephens.
