hip it will be seen that the end
of the chain is attached to three
heavy boxes. These boxes are
filed with rivets and weigh APP
proximately 10000 pounds each.
AS the vessel moves out slowly. be-
ginning to get speed, this end of
the chain draws tight. finally the
chain pulls out at the top where it
is attached to the side OF the YES
sci and the second loop takes up
the burden, thus gradually the
progress down the ways is check
ed and kept uniform. The pull of
the vessel on these boxes is so
strong that sometimes the boxes
are dragged along for several feet,
tearing great holes in the earth,
or if they refuse to be moved the
chain may be snapped in two.
The top picture shows the Rock
Island after launching in the fit
ting out basin. Here the machin-
cry and equipment of various kinds
is installed in the vessel. The big
crane shown in the foreground
handles the heavy machinery east
ly, depositing it on any part of the
ship
The ship was named Rock Is
land because of the fact that Rock
Island oversubscribed it's quota in
the Fourth Liberty loan by So per
cent, with Moline being the two
oversubscribing their quota by the
largest per centage in the state.

world as this cargo vessel carries
American products abroad and re-
turns with materials for American
consumption.
The Rock Island was launched
on Feb. Is. the sponsor being Mrs.
H. o. Layman Since that time the
vessel has been in the fitting out
basin where the machinery which
could not be placed on her while
she was on the ways is being in
stalled and she is receiving her
final coat of paint on both the ex-
terror and interior, which will
make her a fitting companion for
the scores of other vessels recent
ly turned out by the Emergency

NICE WOOL TRADE.

London.-The wool trade of Great
Britain, which has been controlled
by the government since the middle
of 1916, is gradually being freed
from restrictions and soon will be
practically on pre-war basis. The
only remaining restriction will be
that the government, which has
bought the forthcoming Australian
clip, will act as merchants and put
this on the market at auctions at
fixed minimum prices. which. how
ever, will be somewhat elastic as
the sales proceed.

S. S. AledO Makes Trial Trip.
The steamship Aledo made her

amount of the insurance which

amount of the insurance which he
has taken out with the government.
The full $4,000 allowance provides
an income to the beneficiary of only
S57.500 per month. This is not a
large income considering the level of
prices that see Unlikely to prevail in
the future. The less expensive forms
of government policies should be
used, instead of sacrificing a part of
insurance protection in order to OBJ
tain the more expensive forms in
smaller amount. After reduction
has been made it is not possible to
increase the amount of the insurance.

ing general considerations should be
impressed, not only upon the soldier,
but upon his family and others with
whom he comes in contact:
Life insurance offered by the gov
ernment is the best available. In safe
ty it cannot be surpassed. The forms
are varied enough TO meet all essen
tial needs. The cost is considerably
lower than the rates at which private
mpanies are able to offer similar
rolicies.
1t is advisable that every soldier
and sailor retain the largest possible
Imperial Valley press., 1919-04-10

The less expensive policies, however,
may always be changed to the more
expensive kinds. Every effort should
be made to prevent the dropping of
insurance or reduction Of the amount.
Where the insured has allowed part
of his insurance to lapse, an attempt
should be made to reinstate 1t to the
original amount.

BIG WEEK FOR COTTON BULLS;
HOLDERS WARNED NOT TO Sell

than ever before by dealing in futures
cotton that really is worth buying.
Future traders from now on will ex-
perience some little trouble in secur-
ing tenderable grades on future con-
tracts, due chiefly to the comparatively
small supply of the better grades.
While a few do not look upon the new
futures law as favorable, the majority.
or rather SO per cent, of the trade
regard the rider to the wheat bill as
the greatest piece of legislation ever
enacted for the welfare Of the cotton
exchanges From now on those who
deliver the actual on contracts GER
tainly viii be unable to use the dog
tails" which, according to spinners,
! were in such abundant supply at de-
livery day.
Warming to Holders.
1t is the writer's desire to end this
article with a warning to Southern
j growers that they must not allow any
advance to stimulate them into plant
! ing a single acre more than originally
planned. AS far back as cotton his
! tory goes, cotton always has travelled
| upward just at the time of planting.
Usually the bear crowd and mills
stand aside allowing values to go as
high as they desire in order to stimu-
| late production and once the seed are
placed in the ground and the weeds
j begin to creep above the surface, they
pounce upon the market with both
feet, hammering values as low as pos
sible in order to load up before the
critical period.
If the South will stand pat on the
acreage reduction plan, nothing on
earth can prevent cotton from rising
to a price above the cost of produc
ton, and the cost of growing this
crop. according to experts, will be
more than in 1918.
| Another point is this: Don't let go
of your cotton if the price creeps
cent or two higher, feeling that now
is your time" Of course, you are
the boss and can do as you please,
but unless you want to see cotton
the backbone of every line of business
in the South, go to pieces, don't try to
put something over on your neighbOr
and plant a full acreage in cotton.
There is no danger of production
of food, not when the entire world is
crying of hunger Every pound of
! food raised this year is needed and
attractive prices are assured. 1t is
true the United States government is
frowning upon big prices for the
articles on which there has been no
price-fxing, but the government GER
tainly does desire to see the farmer
get a price for his products that will
assure him a comfortable living 1t
is the profteer Uncle Sam is watching,
not you, Mr. Farmer. You are well
come to everything you can get, little,
as it is.

they have suffered with rheumatism

No wonder this great oil treatment has
sprung into such tremendous popu

much praised today by thousands
throughout the country. For Rheuma-

most effective. This wonderful new
