ITALY ASKS HELP FROM
 J. s. IN FIUME MATTER

In a statement made at Rome, Premier Nitti called upon America to help settle the Plume problem. The Premier said, in part:
 "I have always felt sincere friend ship for America and claim that Am erica should be on our. side-should help us escape from this painful sit uation. I have addressed myself per- sonally to President Wilson as a friend. I address the American na- tion also as friends. Do not let the Italian people have the hateful feel ing that the great American demo- cracy opposes what is just. As the Adriatic question may cause a new and violent conflict Italy desires to settle it as quickly as possible.
 "As said before, Italy does not de- sire further wars. Even with the Jugo-Slavs she wishes to have friend ly relations. They are our neighbors, and must, therefore, both in their own interests and ours, share in our civili- zation." ..-

CATTlENEN FAILING. TO RECORD BRANDS
 WILL FACE LAWSUITS

Secretary Ed. w. Stephens of the State Livestock Sanitary Board, has given out warning that costly litiga- ton is certainty in the near future for cattlemen of the state who do not re-register their brands before Dec ember 12. The official added that in- dividual notices have not been sent out, partly because many of the 2O,- 900 registrants are dead or have been out of the cattle business for years.
 The re-registration of brands, ac- cording to Secretary Stephens, is the first that has been made since the Livestock Sanitary board was organ ized more than 25 years ago. The cost of re-registration is $5 and appli- cation for the required blanks must be made to the board here. After Dec ember 12, the secretary said, any brand not re-registered, will be rec orded in the name of anyone applying for it. Cattle rustlers could, if they so desired, locate herds branded prior to December 12 and have the brands registered for themselves, it was pointed out, involving court action.
 In all cases involving transfers of cattle, made in good faith and re- ported direct to the board, wherein the time element includes the re-regis- tering date, the Livestock Sanitary board will protect the transfer, Secre- tary Stephens said.

SLOW SHR|NKACE
 OF SALT0N SEA

The Salton sea in the Imperial Val ley, one of the natural wonders of the west, is constantly shrinking. At present it is about IS miles long and nine miles wide at the greatest point. During the last five years, the water is said to have retreated about mile a year, leaving a salt incrusted adobe land which is eagerly seized by home steaders. Often their location stakes are planted far out in the water.
 The sea which lies 169 feet below the level of the ocean abounds in fish, mullet and carp, which local and Ari- zona capitalists are planning to utilize by the erection of great cannery.
 The Unite1 States department of agriculture Reports state that about the Salton sea lies the largest area of date producing land in the country.
 Geologists say the Salton "Sink," as it once was known in prehistoric times has changed from desert to sea and from sea to desert 50 times or more. For centuries the Colorado river would flow quietly to the Gulf of California and gradually build up a sand-bar across it's mouth. Then some spring flood would cause washout in the rivers bank further north and the whole torrent would sweep toward the Salton Sink. The desert would be- come an inland sea, remaining so for centuries, perhaps, until some great flood would carve out shorter way to the ocean. The sea would be drain ed and the region relapse into des- ert. ,..
 Mud volcanoes abound near the sea, a short distance inland. They are of all sizes up to great mounds 16 feet in height. They all emit steam, some in a steady stream, others steam and mud alternately. Many oS them give out sulphurous gas. At times their roaring can be heard for miles.
 More and more the sea is being visited by tourists and during the heated season, when the temperature is from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than in the valley towns, dances are ire ouently held on an old wharf, which once served as a landing place flo, fishing boats but which has been left high and dry by the receding waters
 Of special interest to the tourist arc the bubbling "paintpots." As the water retreats it is in state of con- stant ebullition. Gases from some un known subterranean source are con tinually finding escape through un seen vents in the bottom. Layer af' ter layer of colored pigment is de- posted. The retreating waters have left uncovered acres of this deposit said by experts to be fully equal to the dry sienna and umber colors, of which so much is imported.
 It is thought that the shrinkage ot the Salton Sea will continue until il finally becomes salt "sink" with 2 pool of brackish water in the center unless fresh outburst of the great Colorado should replenish its waters.

Automobiles have sprung up like mushrooms and have like wise disappeared. Names have been widely heralded and soon forgotten.
 "Only the dearest conception of the destiny of the automobile, coupled with highminded deter imitation to develop it's possibil- ities to the utmost could have perfected in so few years the manufacturing and selling or ganizations that now serve a discriminating public to its last ing satisfaction.
 'The strongest of these or ganizations, necessarily, are those which have placed modern medium weight cars at the head of universal motor transporta- tion. These cars merit their place because they have always been built as we'll as the best facilities permitted, under poli- cies which seek consistently to perfect the qualities that satis- fly and endure, and because they have been honestly sold and have proved their utility by con- tinuous, efficient performance"

SUCCESSFUL CARS DEMONSTRATE THE SURVIVAL OF THE fTTTES7'

".In successful modern auto- mobiles We see the survival of the fittest," says Sumner H. Beecher, local dealer in Chev- rolet passenger and commercial cars.
 Both in the manufacture and sale of automobiles the competi- tion from the first has been so great that only the fittest to serve could long survive.
 Compared to other essential utilities the automobile is still so young that it's destiny as a factor in transportation has not been fully realized even yet. But from the very start it's pos abilities presented so bright an opportunity to manufacturers and salesmen alike that all types from all lines flocked to try their hands and theories in de- veloping it's utility and sharing its profits.
 AS in every new and rich field there has been much un- profitable pioneering and exper- imenting. Lacking the con- structive guidance of experience some of the best intentions and enthusiasm have tragically gone astray.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Reprasenta- tive Heflia of Alabama, announced i'll the house today he had asked the de- partment of justice to investigate the Nv York cotton exchange. which he charged had violated the cotton fu- lures act "in driving down" the price of cotton from 37 to 24 cents pound.
 "1he South has been robbed of mil- lions of dollars by this unjust spec ulation." MT Heflm declared. At a tma when the world demand for cotton is greater than ever before, the price is being forced down and down. No one is being benefited. but the gamblers themselves. The spinners cannot obtain cotton at the present prices and the growers re- fuse to sell"
 fIOI0 for Prices.
 Mir. Heflin said governors of South ern states had appealed to planters to hold their cotton. until the price goes back to 20 cents . pound and that at the close of the present ses- sion of congress representatives from the South expect to go through then states to urge that cotton aacreage be decreased.
 "The demand for cotton next year will be just as great as 1t is at pres ent," he stated. "but 50 long as the 1 price is arbitrarily controlled ,by all | exchange which defeats the laws of supply and demand there is no req 1 son why crops should not be de- creased"
 MT. Heflin said the New York ex- 1 chaupe shOu1d he abolished and its ] activities taken over by the New Dr. | leans cotton exchange. or sOme other exchange located in the cotton belt. =
