JEANNETTE DEFENDS I. w. w.

Miss Jeanette Rankin made her
first extended remarks in the house
of representatives on Aug z. 1t was
regarded as unfortunate as her first
vote, which was cast against the war
resolution. The lady from Mon
tana' spoke in defense of workers
who have tied up copper mines in
Montana and in criticism of the gov
ernment for failing to prevent the
lynching of Frank H. Little, an I.
w. w. leader. Representative John
son of Washington, asked her if she
was aware that the l. W. w workers
are anarchists who disclaim a1legi-
ance to any government. Failing to
obtain a direct answer, Mr. Johnson
made the following interrrogatory
statement at the conclusion of Miss
Rankin's speech: II would like to
ask the lady if she knows if these
members of the I. w. w. who were
responsible for the assassination of
the governor Of Idaho some years ago,
who threatened to assassinate the
governor of Utah and who threaten
ed numerous other prominent Off
cials with assassination and death
and who themselves declared they
owe no allegiance to the United
States or to any other country, have
any right to squeal when citizens of
this country hang one of them occa-
sionally?" This question, which
evoked loud applause from the floor,
was not answered

PROSPERITY WILL CONTINUE,

Business in England is prospering,
although the nation is engaged in
the greatest war in history, has mil
lions of men in the army and navy
and has spent staggering sums to
prosecute the conflict.
A like or greater prosperity may
be expected in the United States,
which is better situated than any
other nation to make enormous ex-
penditures without adverse conse-
quences. Even now, our govern
ment is spending money at the rate
of about $30,0O0,00O day, and
practically all of this huge sum is
being distributed among the various
lines of business in the United States
1t was recently stated in the senate
that the war bill of this country, in
Guiding the budgets already voted
national administration, would reach
SIT, 100000 this year. Of the
grand total $8,0O0,0OO, 200 is a loan
to the allies. With heavy govern
meht orders calling for a lavish dis
tribution of funds among the manu-
featuring plants and all other indus
tries, the country cannot evade an
era of unprecedented industrial ac-
tivity, with labor better employed
than ever before. There is no
ground for pessimism, no reason to
anticipate commercial calamity of
any sort.

SETS OF COMMERCIAL BANK
NOW IN POSSESSION OF THE
ADJUSTMENT COMPANY.

All of the records and assets of the
defunct Commercial Bank, which
have been in possession of the state
banking department since the bank
closed it's doors on June II, were for
mally turned over last Saturday to
the directors of the Commercial Bank
of Parker Adjustment company by
Jesse L. Boyce, state bank comptrol-
Ter. An indemnity bond for $4,000
was given Mr.. Boyce by the board
of directors, with J. F. Raney and A.
H. Littlefield as sureties.
Deeds conveying all of the real
estate owned by the Commercial
Bank were executed Monday in favor
of the Adjustment company, and the
organization is now complete, and
has in it's possession all of the assets
of the bank.
Offices of the adjustment company
have been opened in the bank build
ing and the work of realizing upon
the assets of the defunct bank is now
under way. Formal demands will
be made by the directors upon those
owing the old bank, requesting a
settlement Of their Indebtedness. All
bank books are being balanced and
cancelled vouchers returned to de-
positOrs
Norman Essick, who holds the
mortgage on the new hotel building,
arrived in Parker today (Friday),
and it is expected that satisfactory
financial arrangements will be made
within the next few days with Mr..
Essick for the completion of the
hotel and for the payment of the out
standing Indebtedness against the
building.
The first annual meeting of stock
holders of the Adjustment company
will be held on Sept. 3. At this
meeting board of five directors will
be elected.
The creditors of the defunct bank
feel that great victory has been
accomplished in saving the bank
from going into the hands of a re-
ceiver. While there are a few dis
satisfied ones it is not within human
possibilities to satisfy everyone
However, it can be said that over 95
percent of the creditors of the bank
are strongly In favor of the plans of
liquidation formulated by the ad-
justment company.

HOOVER IS FOOD CONTROLLER.

Herbert Hoover, on his forty-tnird
birthday, according to advices from
Washington Of Friday OF last week,
became arbiter of the diet of more
human beings than any Roman
Caesar ever dreamed of Shortly
after noon on that day President
Wilson affixed his signature to the
food control bill, upon which the ink
had hardly dried from the signatures
OF Vice President Marshall and
Champ Clark.
Under the powers confirmed upon
him he may advise every farm and
breeded what to raise He may di-
rect every distributor as to how all
goods are to be handled. 1t will be
his advice upon which the United
States will control it's exports to the
allies. Thus, hunger or plenty for
half a billion people, lies now in
Hoover's hands.

ROAD ENDANGERED BY NEWLY
FORMED LAKE.

Not satisfied with making all the
trouble 1t could during the spring
freshet this year, the tickle Colorado
left monument to it's pertidy in the
form of a shallow but expansive lake,
which for some time to come seems
likely to keep the Blythe e-Ehrenberg
road impossible.
For two or three weeks it has been
noted that the water outside the
levee, directly east of Blythe has re-
mained at about the same level, while
the river has dropped rapidly during
that period
Guy Rounds volunteered An ex-
planatiOn for this surplus water
when he stated this week that there
was every indication that the river
in falling had silted up the low
ground over which this water usual
ly drained back to the river Rounds
said the ferryman had discovered
this condition several days ago. 1t
was further verified by Engineer C.
E. Yost who explained that unless a
hole is cut in the levee and this
water drained into Goodman Slough,
the road will be impossible until the
newly-formed lake is dried up by
evaporation and seepage.
1t has been a Well-known fact that
most of the water which covers this
area every year has backed up from
below and those who are acquainted
with the action of the silt can readily
understand the process that has peen
responsible for the formation of this
lake.-Blythe Herald
