rout to Sweden. Ambassador Fran

dispatch contained nothing to indicate
that he contemplated going. 1t is con

include refusal of permission of diplo-

LIVESTOCK MEETING
PLANS ADVANCED

The plans for holding a meeting of
all livestock raisers of the Valley in
FL Centre, February %, are being
worked out by the Chamber Of Corr
merce and it is expected that this
meeting will inaugurate a new era in
tehe livestock industry in this section.
The effects of the organizing Of an
Imperial Valley Livestock Raisers' as
sociaton would be very far-reaching.
The organization would be at once rec
ognized as an authority on the indus
try in the Valley and the Chamber of
Commerce has had the assurance that,
should the organization be formed,
daily reports from eli the leading
markets would be fur7is,rd, so tnat
any man who has live est).k for saIc-
whether it be sheep hogs, COWS or
steere-would have to do 20 find out
the market price would be to call up
the office Of the association, Just as
the cotton grower now ascertains the
dali yuuotations on cotton. The stock
raisers' association will also be in
close touch with the federal govern
ment and will be Immediately in
formed of all new regulations affect

HOLDING FARMERS ASSEM-
BLY, IN OPEN AIR-MORE EMI-
NENT SPEAKERS ADDED.
More Than a Thousand Grangers viii
Attend the Big Annual Meeting of
the Imperial County Farm Bureau
at HOltville-War Crop Activity
Lends Interest to the Meeting.

Officials of the County Farm Blu.
reau have decided that no building in
Holtville will hold the hundreds who
are expected to attend the County
Farm Assembly next Thursday. They
have tentatively selected the city
park as the place of meeting. Chairs
have been donated by the Holtville
Commercial Club and business inter
ests.
The Farm Bureau committee an
nounces that in addition to the al
ready large number of eminent speak
ers for the Agricultural Assembly
program, the following prominent men
and women have arranged to be pres
ent: Professor Gordon H. True, rep
resenting the Federal Food Admin
stration, will talk on ''Increased HOG
Production; Professor John w. Gil
more of the University of California;
Frederick Maskew of the State Quar-
antine Division; Argyle McLachlan,
cotton expert, and F. w. Waite, coun-
ty horticultural commissioner, will
talk on the various phases of the cot
ton industry; Mrs. L. w. Robbins. who
has finally been chosen to take CHARGE
of the Women's Section, and Mrs. H.
W. Meserve, who will talk on Turkey
Raising for Women"
On account of the many numbers
to be given on the program, it has
been decided as very desirable to have
a Cotton Section, ard possibly Dairy
Section as we'll as a Woman's Sec
ton. The Cotton Section, it has been
planned, will be held in the Masonic
hall ir the in the new City Hall IN
the park at 10 a. m.
The Women's Section will have splen-
did accodid accommodations in the au-
ditorium at the Holtville High School
Professor Crandall has arranged evry
comfort for the women by throwing
the principals offices into reception
and rest room. Professor Crandal
has also volunteered the services OF
the High School auto cars for brine
ing over women from the center OF
the cit to the auditorium.
The "noon" feature of the Assembly
promises to be a great success. The
general committee of the Red Cross
composed of one woman member from
each of the civic and religious organ
izations of Holtville, have arranged a
barbecue dinner, to be served on the
lawn in the park. The charge will be
nominal and the proceeds will be
turned into the Red Cross fund.
EVERYTHING points to big attend
ance. The entertainment committee
of which C. H. Eckert is chairman
has arranged many features of in

ASK LOCAL BOARD
FOR ADULT MALES
All Men Over the Draft Age Who
Are Willing to Serve Their Coun-
try at Home Are Urged by Clerk
c. w. Barton of the Draft Board
to Register With Board.

C. w. Barton of the local draft
board has been asked by the United
States Public Service Reserve to make
an appeal to all men in Imperial coun-
ty over the draft age to register for
war service.
Skilled mechanics are now needed
by the army in France to do repair
work in connection with the aviation
service. Very shortly thousands of
men will be needed in the numerous
shipyards throughout the country.
From time to time other needs will
develop.
Undoubtedly, members of the ex-
emption boards are frequently asked
by men who are exempted from mil
itary service if there is not some
active way in which the country can
use their abilities. The United States
Public Service Reserve affords
means by which men can enroll with
recognized governmental agency
and be offered an opportunity for
service when the need arises. By di-
jrecting such men to this agncy eyou
will be contributing further to the
great cause of the public good.
A number of small cards will be
sent to the local draft board for the
use of men making such inquiries.

does, the Supervisors or the Governor
of California will be asked to appoint
a trustee, it is expected.
If Trustees Waite and Adams con-
tinue in their positions, and another
"dry' trustee is appointed, it is pre-
dicted that saloon or a wholesale
house will be as scarce in Imperial,
within a month, as a tenderfOOt in
August, as the liquor licenses are re-
newed monthly at the pleasure of the
board.
Then. again, it is pointed out that
each resigned trustee must serve un-
til his successor is appointed. What
effect this will have on the situation
is question which the Supervisors
will be asked to untagle, perhaps.

to the war efficiency controversy
Senator Overman declared the bill
is an answer to the demand for a war

reorganization just as the military

further that it's passage is impos-

LifebOats Smashed.
(By Associated Press)

London, Feb. 9.-American officers
landed at an Irish port said the SOL
diers on the Tuscania who found life
boats to which they were assigned
smashed on deck, stood at attention
and preserved composure until de-
stroyer came alonside and removed
them.
The opinion of London editorial
writer's on the sinking of the Tus-
cania is that it will cause the United
States to make sterner efforts in be-
half Of the fight for democracy. The
first disaster to the manv American
transports shows the emptiness of the
German boast that submarines will
render impossible the transport Of
American armies. 1t is declared
thought, that it is too much to hope
that the Tuscania is the last victim
Some say the submarine menace re-
mains a grave problem.
Revised figures indicate that the
Tuscania loss is considerably in ex-
cess of 1O1. Apparently the FIGURES
announced at the American embassy
yesterday did not include the mis-
sing.
