NEW BRITISH EMBARGO.
Importation Prohibited of Goods
Made From Enemy Materials.

a cablegram from the American con-
sui general at London says that after
April j Great Britain will prohibit the
importation of goods of neutral manu-
facture in whose production have enter
ed materials and labor of enemy ori-
gin amounting to more than per cent
of the cost. Exceptions will be made
for goods to be admitted under special
license. Department of Commerce off,
cials say the order would have
little effect upon industries in the
United States. They thought it prob
ably was issued because British in
dustry had become so we'll organized it
could take care of most of it's own
needs.
Teutonic supplies in other than con-
tiguous neutral countries probably are
believed to be about exhausted now, so

The sights that greeted the eyes Of the

correspond with their confession-were
calculated to thrill the heart of anyone
who has any appreciation of farm pro-
ductivity.
They saw the monster, gigantic, pump
ing plant at liidalgo-only one of the sew
eral immense works OF its kind along the
river. They rode in automobiles along and
across miles and miles of the elaborate
and wonderfully built canal systems.
Their eyes Toasted upon the view Of
miles and miles Of grapefruit and other cit
rus fruit groves, miles of cabbage patches,
sugar cane and many other products from
which the farmers of the Valley are ac-
cumulating wealth. The automobiles met
