TEACHERS JOIN SHIPS CREW
(By Associated Press)

DAN JUAN. P. R., Aug. 9.-When
the schooner Cornell P. White arrives
at Baltimore, Nd, it will lose two
women members of it's crew, Miss
Georgiebelle Musser, of Denver, Colo,
purser, respectively, who, until re-
Gently, were school teachers in Porto
Rico
The difficulty of obtaining passage
on any of the passenger ships, togeth-
err with desire for adventure, were the
reasons given by friends of Miss
Musser and Miss Waters for their
signing up as part of the crew, of the
Cornell p. White. They believed they
would arrive home safely, sooner or
later, if they went on schooner
while there seemed to be no end of
uncertainty when they could get away
if they waited for regular passenger
ship. So after much persuasion, the
skipper of the CorneA P. White. who
has daughter of his own in Balti-
more, agreed to take them.

AUTHOR MARRIES

Harold Bell Wright, noted author
and Winifred Mary Potter Duncan
of Los Angeles, were secretly married
at the San Diego hotel here Thurs
day morning, it became known today
The wedding was arranged by Allen
II. Wright, city clerk, a cousin
of tile bridegroom.
The license was obtained at the
county clerks office and the cere-
mony was performed by Justice OF
the Peace Lacey D. Jennings.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wright at once left
for honeymoon in eastern states.
BOTH DIVORCED
Wright gave his age as 46, and
his residence as Tucson, Arizona. His
bride is 35. Both have been di
vorced, it is said. Wright secured his
decree in Tucson only a few weeks
ago. The case attracted wide atten-
tion because of the prominence of the
parties involved.
Among the most popular of Wright's
books are Barbara Worth and The
Shepherd of the Hills. Barbara Worth
is the story of the early life in I'M
perial Valley, and it's main characters
are drawn from people many of whom
are still seen on our streets. The Bar
bara Worth hotel is so named because
of the book.
Wright wrote the book after hav-
ing lived here for several years. Dur
ing the past year the greater part OF
his time has been given to directing
the filming of his stories.

That Truth Is
Stranger Than
Fiction True

There was nothing peculiar about
the man said the secretary Of the
district attorneys office, excepting
that he was queer. She thought at
first maybe he was reporter. He
came in, and for a while he was
quiet, just like reporter. Then just
like reporter he became decidedly
nervous. The district attorney was
busy. He would wait.
The district attorney was still busy.
He would still wait. If he went down
stairs maybe there wouldn't be any
use having to come up TO see the dis
trict attorney, and he did want to see
him. The man spoke as though a
district attorney was a strange sort
of animal, not sight to be seen
every day, and as though he could
hardly afford to miss this heaven
sent opportunity of seeing such a cur
iosity. At last the district attorney
wasn't busy any longer, and the
strange man walked forth to his re-
ward.
''This the district attorney? Mighty
glad to see you. You see there's Il
man after me, going to kill me, Says
married his daughter, but by jove
l don't remember doing anything like
that. By the way, do you like
prickly pears" His next remarks
clinched the nail.
"Nice cool day, isn't it,"
His secret was out at last, and now
the poor lunatic is resting at the
county farm. pending examination.
We asked the secretary, Did you
know he was crazy ?" She looked at
US a moment, a wild light in her eyes,
then started for the district attorneys
office We knew what was up We
left. We don't like county farms.

LONDON, England, Aug. 1O.-'T

opening words Of Lloyd George in an
announcement to the house of com
mons regarding the Russ : Polish
crisis.
"What is challenged" he said. ''is
that, nothing justifies the retaliation
by reprisal or punishment which goes
to the extent of wiping out national
existence. Apart altogether from
the right Of any power to demand the

Lloyd George declared that the
Polish attack had not justified the
opinion of the British government
and that the Soviet government in
any conditions of peace would be en-
titled to take into account the facts
of attack by the Poles under Russia.
Those attacks were delivered despite
the warnings of the allies to Poland.
The Soviet government declared that
they are entitled to demand such
guarantees as would be exacted of any

ranged.

At a preliminary hearing arranged
here today by the Chamber of Com
merce in regard to the establishment
of truck service between here and
Holtville H. w. Brundidge of Los An
geles, member of the railroad COM
mission, stated that if the Holton
Power company, now common carrier,
would send to the main offices of the
railroad commission in San Francisco
a signed statement agreeing to permit
Gibson, who is attempting to estab-
lish 4 truck service between the two
towns, permission to carry every
thing under carload lots, Brundidge
thought that the permission might be
granted without any further hearing.
E. w. Judy, representing the Hol-
ton Power company, signified the
company's willingness to such an
agreement. Parties representing the
mercantile companies, however, for a
time protested the limiting of Gibson
to shipments less than car load lots.
1t was their expressed opinion that
Gibson should be permitted all bust
ness which he might gather.
1t was argued that the Holton
Power company could as rapidly and
more cheaply transfer goods than a
truck service, whereupon the repre-
sentatives stated that he believed that
within a short time satisfactory
agreement would be reached and that
such a truck service would be estab-
lished,

ITALY TO RAISE SUGAR
(By Associated Press)

ROME, Aug. 10.-Italy is devising
means to alleviate the beet sugar
shortage. She has been urged to put
more bees at work producing honey.
Italy in 1917 had nearly $1,000
miles of railways and at regular in
tervals along the lines are little
houses where the railway employees,
signal men, track walkers and re-
pairmen live. The manager of the
national institute for Agrarian AS
sistance recently recommended that
they each be given hive of bees. In
conformity with the suggestion the
experiment is to be begun at once on
the lines in the province of Rome
|and, if successful, it will be extended
to all the railways of Italy.

State Board Of Agriculture
Calls Meeting to Consider
Altering Quarantine Reg
ulatiOns to Keep Pests
from State.

Because of the prevalence of the
pink Dol worm and the boil weevil
in the cotton fields of Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia., Louisiana,
Mississippi, New Mexico, North Car
olina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Ten
nessee and Texas the state board of
agriculture of California are serious
ly considering altering the quarantine
regulations in order that less danger
may be experienced from the possibil-
ity of the boil worm or boil weevil
into the California cotton fields thru
the Importation of cotton, cotton seed
or seed cotton and Of machinery used
in cotton industries in any of the
above states.
In order that such revision may be
considered to the best advantage the
board of agriculture will hold hear
ing in Sacramento on August 20, one
week from Friday.
Neither the boil worm or the boil
weevil have as yet infested the cotton
fields of California, according to the
hoard of agriculture, and the intro
duction of the pests through the
careless importation of such things as
might easily be secured at home
would not only work hardship on
the cotton growers, but would also
add to the cotton shortage which is in
many places anticipated by the quar-
antine now enforced in the above
states.
1t is expected that with the restric-
tion of such an extensive territoIN by
the quarantine that the demandSfor
California cotton will be increased,
and that the local growers will profit
greatly by the quarantine in the
southern and western states.
