lam at greater loss to know
what to start on than ever before.
War news is getting old. The
4th Liberty Loan drive will start
the morning of the 30th. All
preparations are made and every
thing is ready to start on time
All of the whistles will announce
the starting. There will be a
street parade Monday morning,
mostly by soldiers and war So
cieties to attract the attention to
the drive. The amount asked
for in Texas is large. but the sue
cess of raising it is uncertain.
The people of Texas have always
been liberal in all war work. AS
to how it will be this time | would
not venture guess. Texas is
less able to help this fall than
for several years. on account of
shortage of crops and lack of
farm help. Farmers have had
to pay much higher for farm help
and all supplies, making the cost
of production from one-third to a
half higher. and living expenses
at least a half higher, and crops
one half short, and prices for cot
just a few cents higher, which
will not near balance with last
year. You see Texas is in rath-
er hard circumstances this year,
but suppose there is no doubt
but they will get the amount re-
quired of them.

Arrangements had been made
for extensive decoration of auto

ladies in the Liberty Loan cam |
paign, and introduced Mrs. Sam
Phillips as the lady speaker of
the day. Mrs. Phillips delivered
, her message in manner which |
left a deep impression on the

Amsterdam, Jan. 8-King Ludwig
of Bavaria is quoted in a Munich
dispatch as saying yesterday that the
peace terms of Germans enemies were
exorbitant. and declared:
"Not an inch of German territory
will be surrendered. We must try
to safeguard our frontiers. May we
succeed also in defeating our latest
enemies, the Americans"
King Ludwig declared that plans
were going forward for meeting the
American onslaught in the spring;
that thousands of airplanes were be-
ing assembled in preparation for the
American air drive, and that sufficient
troops would be on hand to protect
the borders of Germany from the new
enemy.
"Peace will be considered only
when our enemies have consented to
reparation for the wrongs done," he
added.

WHEAT LEADER HAS
FINISHED WORK HERE

Assistant Farm Adviser Norton
will leave for Riverside tomorrow aft
er spending about three months in
the Valley in the interest of the gov
ernment's wheat sowing propaganda.
Mr.. Norton has made a report
showing that there will be an increase
of more than 10000 acres of wheat
here over the last years total of
1900 acres. He states that the wheat
industry was kept down in Imperial
Valley this year for three reasons:
/. The late fall, keping corn and
cotton in the fields longer than usual.
2. The difficulty of securing good,
clean seed.
3. The lack of cooperation of GER
tain big seed dealers in the effort to
plant more wheat.
