OUTFALL SEWER
BONDS SANCTIONED
Holtville people stamp their 20. H.
on Plans for Improving Sewage
System of the Town. Though the
Vote Is Light-News of the En-
terprising East Side Community.

Yesterdays election was probably
one Of the lightest in the history o.
the city of Holtville Out of the hun.
rleds of people registered, but 81
voted on the important measure.
The election was carried by almost
an unanimous majority. Fifty-six
voted for the bonds, and three dis
sented. The election was for the vot-
ing Of banded Indebtedness of Sc,
000 to install sewer outfall fron.
the sewer farm to the Alamo river.
The sewer pipe will be II inche
in diameter and will be capable o.
draining the farm. The sewer farm
has been unable to cope with the sit
uation in the past, and it was decided
to construct the pipe line, if the vot-
ers Of the city were willing to vote
the bonds.
The work on constructing the pira
will probably be started at an early
day and it will serve to improve the
sewer conditions many fold.

ALL GET TOGETHER

In a very wonderful and unconven-
tional way, the religious workers Of
the various denominations are get
ting together in France. In city
where many American troops are
stationed there was a recent service
in a Huguenot church, conducted by
Methodist clergyman, assisted by a
Lutheran, an Episcopalia1 and an
other Methodist, all in 7. M. Z. A.
uniform.
A Protestant chaplain was describ-
ing a beautiful Catholic communion
service held in Y. M. C. A. hut, by
Catholic chaplain, and attended by
a large number of men. In the CEN
ter of this mass of khaki-clad men
was single French soldier, giving
a notable touch of color to the scene.
That particular service said the chap
lain was one of the most impressive
he had ever attended. 1t was fol-
lowed by Jewish service led by a
Jewish private and then, later, by a
Protestant meeting.
Speaking Of the use of the sacra-
ments in France the testimony is IN
form that the men like to attend
communion. Not all Of them who do
so have been members of churches at
home. This does not seem to disturb
the chaplains. Chaplain Moody, son

The negro soldier is in class by
himself. How he will behave under
fire it is Impossible to say, but in the
camps he creates a very favorable
impression with his cheerful demean-
or, his willing obedience, and his
sweet singing. His chief fault is his
inveterate love Of gambling. The Am

ca1tonments vie with each other for
the highest percentage of insured

ing down the record of its division
by the reluctance of it's members to
insure themselves. They did not un-
derstand insurance and would have
none of it in spite of urgent appeals,
until one of their white officers, in a
moment of inspiration, put it to them
that it was simply this: Uncle Sam
was willing to bet Sc to / that they
would not get killed or wounded in

The negro is generally very anx-

toward white officers. A colonel in
this camp was therefore very sur

MEAT PRODUCERS
DID FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help TO Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION
Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Observation-Disclosures
Increase over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day In our every action Of stimulation
Of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will he in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
Of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able US to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be shortage in Eu-
rope, due largely TO limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be allied by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. s. De
partment OF Agriculture indicate an
increase In cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs These ngures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tions are that this decrease will show
all increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs OF
not less than per cent. and mo-
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request Of the U. 3
Feed Administration for an Increase
in hog production for marketing In the
fall Of 1918 and the spring Of 1919 tss
increase may yield not less than 1900,
100000 pounds more of pork product'
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have beer
impossible.
The dressed hog products during tn
three months ending September 80
1917, amounted to 903,172,O00 pounds
while for the corresponding months o.
1918 the dressed hog products totaleC
1,277, $50 900, an Increase Of over 374,
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 thu
records eF inspected slaughter O
dressed beef showed 1888, 200, 00I
pounds as against ], 1,454 900, 900 pounds
for the three month period ending
September l, this year.

giving him instruction which will
enable him to earn something for
himself and family. AS far as pos
sible, it pays him for helping to save
us from fate worse than death.
