COTTON REPORT.

Washington. Sept. Cotton of the
1918 crop ginned prior to September
amounted to 1,039,620 bales, counting
round bales as half bales, the Census
Bureau today announced. This in
cluded So, 100 round bales and POI bales
of Sea Island cotton. Ginnings last
year prior to September / amounted
to Ga, ,787 bales. Ginnings in Califor-
MIA total l,074 bales.
Ginnings this year have exceeded

vious year This is ascribed to hot

ton to open prematurely. There is a
considerable increase in the southern
Texas acreage and the crop there has
matured early.

SECRETARY BAKER
AIRCRAF 7.
WORK IN FRANCE

Washington, Sept 9.-Secretary
of War Baker has arrived in France
accompanied by John d. Ryan. assist
ant secreta. y and director of the air
service. to find out confidentially how
America can take her proper place in
the warfare of the air. The safe
arrival of Mr.. Baker and his party
was announced by the War Depart
ment today. The secretary sailed
eight days ago on a fast army trans
port. The departments announcement
declares:
"The voyage was made aboard a
transport which carried the usual quo
Ia Of United States troops. The Sec
retary was accompanied by John ID.
RYAN, second assistant secretary of
war; Major General w. c. Gorgas,
surgeon general of the army; Briga-
der General Frank Il. Hines, chief of
the embarkation staff and Lieuten-
ant Colonel George H. Baird, military
aide to the Secretary of War"
/ Secretary Baker had contemplated
for some time another trip to France
before the end of this year. His de-
cision to go at this time, however,
and to take with him Mr.. Ryan, now
in complete control of the air service,
was the result of the exposure of the
airplane fiasco.
1 Unofficial accounts of the failure
of the War Department to produce
airplanes fit for battle service after
the country had been in the war six
teen months were confirmed by the re-
port of the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs last month and the pres
entation of this report was followed
by another War Department reorgan-
ization which made Mr.. Ryan an as
sistant secretary of war.

Sheriff Makes
L0afer Arrest

Sheriff Charles M. Applestill today
fired the opening gun in his war
against slackers and loafers by the
arrest of. Manuel Lopez at Calipatria
on charge Of vagrancy. 1t was the
first arrest for violation of the work
or fight order from Washington.
Lopez, it is asserted, has been hang
ing around pool halls and soft drink
stands for several days, has sought no
work and has turned down several op-
portunities for jobs. He is a Mexican
citizen and declared that he was not
interested in the war.
The sheriff intends to make an eX
ample of Lopez as warning to others
of the loafer ilk. 1t is expected that
if he is found guilty Lopez will re-
ceive six months sentence to the
county chain gang.
"As long as this war continues and
as long as am sheriff, Imperial coun-
ty will have no slackers, of either for
eign or American birth" said Sher-
iff Applestill. Imperial county must
be kept 100 per cent American and
100 per cent efficient in war work and
believe the citizens will back me up
in the enforcement of this policy"

Jones.
The young woman was rushed to
the Ell Cenrto hospital, where an op-
Grafton was performed by Drs. Mo
sier and Graeser of Holtviile in an eff
fort to save her life. Although the
refused to give up the fight,
calling science and skill to their aid,
their efforts were of no avail, the
patient passing away at $3.50 p. m.

men, passing out on the lower left
side. The accident occurred just "a
hours before Miss Roose's death. The
funeral was held this afternoon at
i O'clock from the undertaking par
lors of Shafer & Lemons, with the

tai shooting was issued.

hold Miss Roose was in the house
alone cleaning the gun, from which
