Calexico and El Centre are tied for
first honors, with Imperial running
close third. Should Imperial and

play off the tie.

GO SHOPPING WITH SPUDS7
IT'S BEING DONE IN POLAND

Potatoes are now being used as the
standard currency in certain remote
agricultural districts of Poland. The
potato is the staple article of food, and
its value fldctuates far less than any
of the various types of paper money
which are in circulation. In the dis
trict around Grodno, for example, the
American Red Cross reports that all
the local help employed i'm warehous-
ing or in the activities of the field
units is remunerated in weekly wage
of potatoes. About twenty pounds of
potatoes is regarded as fair weekly
wage for an ordinary laborer
The largest commercial trarsac-
ton which has been conducted re-
Gently in potato currency is reported
from Grodno, where a large land
owner, whose manor house was wreck
ed during the war, refurnished the en-
tire mansion with articles purchased
with potato money. This involved a
series of purchases from local mer-
chants, the most important being a
complete set of drawing room furni-
ture which cost 10000 potatoes. The
landowner, a count and the head Of
one of the oldest families in the Po-
lish nobility, harvested much of his
potato crop with his own hands. Des-
pite his large expenditures for fur
niture and other household equipment,
he is still counted among the wealthy
residents of Grodno, having in his
barns at the present time more than
three carloads of currency potatoes.

ON BUYING BOOKS.

A. Edward Newton in the Atlantic.
/ early formed the habit of buying,
books, and thank God, have never
lost it. Authors living and dead, for
the most part-afford me greatest en-
joyment, and it is my pleasure to buy
more books than | can read.
Who was it who said, 81 hold the
buying of more books than one can
peradventure read, as nothing less
than the souls reaching towards in
finity; which is the only thing that
raises us above the beasts that per-
ish ~ Whoever it was, | agree with
him, and the same idea has been less
sententiously expressed by Ralph Ber-
gengren in that charming little poem
in Jane, Joseph, and John,' the love-
Hest book for children and grownups
since R. L. S. gave US his "Child's
Garden of Verses"
My Pop is always buying books;
So that Nom says his study looks
Just like an old book store.
The bookshelves are so full and tall,
They hide the paper on the wall,
And there are books just every
where,
On table, window, seat and chair,
And books right on the floor.
And every little while he buys
More books, and brings them home
and tries
To find a place where they will fit.
And has an awful time of it.
Once when / asked why he got
So many books, he said, Why not p
I've puzzled over that a lot.
Too many of us who are liberal, not
to say lavish in our household ex-
penses, seem to regard the purchase
of books as an almost not-to-be-per-
mitted extravaganza. We buy piano
players and talking machines, and we
mortgage our houses to get motor
car, but when it comes to book, we
exhaust every resource before parting
with our money. If we cannot bor-
row book from friend, we borrow
it from library; if there is anything
like less than lending a book it is
borrowing one, and / know no great
er bore than the man who insists
on lending you book which you do
not intend to read. Of course, YOU
can cure him, ultimately,by losing the
volume; but the process takes time.
My philosophy of life is very SIM

cursed German philosophers any

Attempted Combination Against
McAdoo, While Admittedly

San Francisco, July Am attempt

night session, but it was still without
definite results, which was ascribed to
the absence of central control and feel
ing among many that it was really di-

McAdoo being his SON. Law. Another
difficulty was that many supporters
of Palmer and Cox felt they should
not desert their candidates until it de-
veloped whether they gain strength.
Reports from various factions who
canvassed the state delegations to de-
termine the actual strength of leading
candidates don't agree, but the nearest
to impartial estimates showed first

Pensacola yachtsmen have completed

others in number of entries. Sixteen
yachts have entered in the classic
event and It is believed every one of
them Will start and finish.
In accordance. with regulations Of
the public health service defining priv

rulings. the visiting craft will leave
New Orleans with clean bills of
Health. They will not dock at Peusa ..

buoys provided for them through the
courtesy of the Z E. Saunders Com
pany, of which firm Adrian Langford
an enthusiastic yachtman, is a mem

Each yacht is required under the
race regulations to tow or AIRY a skiff.
therefore mooring in the stream will
not work any great hardship on the
visitors.
The boats will arrive in Pensacola
between 10 and II Sunday, hardicaps
having been arranged in sIch a way
that comparatively closely punched
finish is expected.

PLAN TO CAPTURE
VILLA SUGGESTED

Ell Paso, Tex, July Honesty of
purpose, cooperation of leaders of
forces who have taken the field
against him and good horses are all
that is necessary to capture Pancho
Villa, according to General Jose Con
zalo Escobar, who arrived at Juarez
opposite here in search of good
horses. He stated that he had been
we'll supplied with funds and would
purchase 5000 horses if he could find
that number suitable for the rough
them.
'T know Villa, and I am what you
Americans call wise to him. said
General Escobar. villa is not the
fearless hero he is thought by many
people. On the contrary, he is only
cowardly bandit, who like cayote
skulks through the brush at night,
taking advantage of others when the
opportunity offers.
1.-TWO detachments of cavalry under
General Amaro," he continued, "will
take part in the pursuit of Villa. The
government now has in Chihuahua
nearly 10000 men to be used directly
against the bandit. If it becomes
necessary-which it will not-50, 900
more will be-sent to Chihuahua.
"This is campaign of cavalry,
however and troops in large numbers
will not be effective in gaining results
against Villa. The pursuit can best
be accomplished by small detachments
of picked men, well horsed, who can
get over the mountains rapidly
