SINGULAR FACTS ABOUT


PAIN.
=
It has long been known that a
high speed bullet may pierce a man
and cause so little pain that he is
unconscious of the wound. whereas
a slower bullet would cause extreme
pain. An explanation Of this is
found by a noted surgeon through
his researches into the evolution or
actions and responses.
During the long course of devel-
opment Of man and his ancestors.
swift piercing and decorations such
as inflicted by a high-speed bullet
were not encountered. and hence no
pain reaction against them would
evolve, while slow decorations were
most common. and the usefulness
of being conscious Of them in the
keen way Of pain is easily seen.
Such is the insensibility Of the
human organism TO an uncommon
form Of injury that. according 10
this physician, a device Of eX-
Quisitely sharp knives driven at su-
perlativeIy high speed might cut
the body to pieces without causing
any pain whatever"

The farmers of Imperial VALLEY

There are four distinc. alfalfas tc

In the past few years this Hair,

rapidly, but not as rapidly as ii
should. The mean hindrance to its
development seems to be the scarcity
Of good seed, and the high price de-
manded for all seed claimed to be
Hairy Peruvian. Unscrupulous seed
nen, according to reports, have un-
loaded various varieties upon the mar
ket and called it Hairy Peruvian, de-
the price which this seed
will bring.
It is very difficult matter to DIFF
ferentiate between the seed of the
Hairy Peruvian and the more common
varieties until it has sprouted. and is
on its way to sturdy plant develop

PERUVIAN and a common variety of /
liant.
The average yield of alfalfa in the
Imperial Valley per season is close to
our and one-half tons to the acre.
ne Hairy Peruvian will give yield
veraging one ton higher than this
igure. Hence by planting the Peru /.
ian, we can increase our alfalfa WELD
yer 20 per cent. We have at the /!
resent time some 100000 acres in
Italia, and an increase of a ton to

VICTORY DOES NOT SPELL
 REVENGE"
So Says Premier Clemenceau to French Deputies at Epochal Meeting Today; Crowds Massed on Streets

PARIS, Oct. 1S.-(By the Associated Press. Jour victory does not spell revenge" said Premier Clemencau amid scenes of indescribable enthu- siasm in the chamber of deputies this afternoon. Our victory and the vic tory of our allies mean the liberation of civilization and liberty of human conscience"
 Paris has lived historic days since the beginning of the war, but never since these dark days of August, 1914, has Paris lived such day as this. Clemenceau looked the tiger of old when he ascended the tribune, the light of victory shining on his whole countenance.
 Long before the hour set for the opening of the chamber huge crowds, overflowing across the Seine to the Place de la ConcOrde, had gathered Every seat in the chamber was occu- pied, except those where the French flag entwined with the crimson plush of a vacant chair showed that the for mer occupant had died-that he had served his country not alone in the chamber of deputies, but on the field field of battle.
 After Paul Deschanel, president of the chamber, told of the liberation of Lille, Douai, Ostend and Bruges, and while the deputies and audience were cheering franticslly, Ciemenceau arose from the government bench and made his way to the tribune with the dust of Lille still clinging to his garments.
 Can l add anything to the patriotic words of the president of the cham ber," said the premier, except that l have just received a telegram (and he waved blue leaflet toward the depu- ties) stating that Roubaix and Fur coing have just been liberated"
 There was not one discordant voice in the whole chamber, but two con spicuous socialist members remained seated while the other deputies ap- plauded.
 There should be but one voice." said President Deschangel, glaring at the socialists. They sheepishly arose and the incident was closed.
 Recollections of that other historic scene on June 3. when an irate cham Der demanded explanations from this same premier for the defeat on the Chemin des Danes came back to the correspondent of a Clemenceau as dignified in defeat as he was generous in victory. Across the immense Place de la ConcOrde great crowds were inspecting captured guns and looking upon Gothas that shall fly no more.

LOAN STILL LACKS ABOUT
 A BILLION
Nation Will Decide Its Success Today; St. Louis District Over Top; Minneapolis and Boston Close
By Review Leased wlre)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S-TomorrOw the nation will decide the degree of success of the fourth Liberty loan.
 Tonight, with only twenty-four hours. remaining, the treasury esti- mated the sum already raised at be- tween S4,5OO,OOO, 900 and $5,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO, making a billion or more still neces- sary The amount officially reported tonight was only S3,95S, ,5S5, 600, but this included little of today's busi- ness. That figure represented an in- crease of $351, 100000 since last night
 On the even of the greatest selling effort of the entire campaign, national loan headquarters limited its comment to this:
 There must not be the slightest dimunition of effort tomorrow. To gain the desired goal means the most vigorous selling from sunrise until as late as night as there is anyone left to buy"
 The managers still felt sure that the big total would be subscribed although they emphasized that it would take a multitude of last minute $50 and $100 subscriptions as well as some big pledges The loan would fail, they said, only if either the vast group of small subscribers or the smaller groups of heavy buyers refused to in- vest at the last moment, believing that the lean would go over without their help.
 Indications tonight were that sev- eral federal seserve districts might fail to achieve their quotas. That left a bigger task for those nearer their goals The St. Louis district passed its quota of S260,0OO,O00 by bare $3S1,20O and recorded itself as not only the first district to make this record, but as having duplicated it's record of the third loan campaign.
 The New York district today passed the billion dollar mark, and hopes to get the entire S1.SOO,OOO,OO0 quota. The Minneapolis and Boston districts are nearest the top with SS and S2 per cent respectively.
