the bank to offer the money at SO 10"

it in your power to purchase oono

are not to be sold any of them.

A Big Cotton Fire.

The alarm OF fire WIS again sound
ed on Thursday morning about 1880
o'clock. Starting among some cotton
bales on the platform of the Newoer-
ry Cotton mills warehouse the flames
soon spread to the bales inside the
building, there being about 1000 bales
in the section involved. Mr.. ". j.
Swittenberg, of the fire company, es-
Inmates that the loss Is about zoo
bales. The fire company, arriving
promptly on the spot, had the hard
est kind of work in getting the fire
under control, as it was difficult to
get in there, but after vigorous and
laborious fighting they finally sub
dued the flames which were covering
the entire mass OF cotton. The fire is
said to have originated from match
in the han,l of some one lighting a
cigarette. ~.

says that South Carolina will be ex-
pected to raise third regiment of in

to permit the raising of a third regi-

It is important that all persons be-

white men who have negroes employ

that they are also required to register
and that If they do not hey lay them
selves liable to indictment and tine

they will be registered. The thing to

The New England States have
shown that their heart" is In this
war from the beginning. Their pa
pers have never grown tired of urg-
ing war on Germany. And now comes
the mazing report that these States
have kept way behind the other States
in enlisting. Which, after all, proves
that there are still many Anglo-Sax-
ons in the New England States. Max
ing war and persuading others to light
It out for them Is the Simon-pure
characteristic of the English.-Char-
lesion American.
That is one reason We favored Sc
'-"live conscription. It will reach at
least some of those fellows who have
been talking SO much and floating flags
around. That is unless they happen
to be physically weak or the officers
show favors which We do not expect.
And every State will furnish It's pro-
portion and every county its pro rata.

We are delighted that some gentle
men In Newberry have undertaken the
establishment of a Gamer here and
that the stock has beeL raised. we
knew all the while that it would be
an easy matter to raise the necessary
stock for a cannery. The Herald and
News did not carry a notice OF it in
the Last issue because at the time we
did not know that the work was u1-
der way The editor, as stated in the
last issue, was out of town for three
days prior to the issue of the paper
and We suppose those interested in
cannery knew that we could not take
stock and therefore did not tell as
about it.
At any rate The Herald and News is
pleased that those who have the
money have taken hold Of the enter
prise and we feel sure that it will
be success. At least it will be worth
a whole lot to the county and the
town in these day when 1t is necessary
to conserve all the food product that
it is possible to do. And we want
those who are interested to know
that we will do all we can to help
the project along. The Herald and
News has several times recently call
ed attention to the importance Of such
an enterprise. In another column we
take pleasure in quoting the item car
ried by our cotemporay In its last
issue in regard to the canunery and
those who are interested In putting
it over. We wish them every success
and If at any time we can aid them 1t
will be our pleasure to have them
command us.

of being injured there but eight cases of injuries
to passengers in 1916 and of these six resulted from the
explosion of bomb in passenger car These six were

HORSELESS AGE VIEW

Street parades will be given today,

evening. Theatre tickets will be Civ
en- to the first fifty visitors each
day.
Mr.. Reavis anticipates the begin

on and predicts heavy demands for
The Moreland trucks, Waterloo Boy
tractors and Haynes and Interstate
automobiles.
"This is not only lhe horseless age" +"
said Mr.. Reavis. "but it may be truly
said the world is on Wheels Here
in the Valley, as in no other place
/ have ever been, farmers and busi-
ness men are beginning TO realize that
the horses day is over and that the
tractor has come to stay.
"Cotton growing in territory dis
tant from the railroad is compelling
the use of trucks to haul the product
to the railroad.

chimes for my agency, | figured that
this consolidation would meet the
needs Of the Valley by minimizing
time spent in selecting motors, be-
sides insuring purchasers Of the more

EXCELLENT SCHOOL
FACILITIES AT CALlPATRIA

The excellent school facilities of
fered by the new $4,000 grammar
school at Calipatria has been one of
the big factors in the large volume
of sales made of farm lands in that
section and has helped great deal
in the development of the town it
self as we'll as the surrounding farm
lands.
People with families like to get
near to good school facilities and the
wisdom of erecting such a fine struc-
ture has been shown in the families
that have been attracted to Calipa-
tria just because of this, and today
there are over 90 scholars enrolled
in the grammar school.
Great credit is due the Imperial
Valley Farm Lands Association, who
have the 47,00O-acre holdings in the
North End because of the great i'm
provements that they have been in
strumental in bringing to that section
for while of course it has helped
their holdings it has also helped
everyone else who has any property
in the North End and it may well
be said that they have done as much
or more than any other concern to-
ward the development of the Val
