to Present Reasons.

Almond growers Of California,
forced into dealing in shelled nuts by
the vast increase in their production
and at the same time prevented from
doing so by the competition of
European producers, are preparing
today to appeal to Congress for a re-
adjustment OF the tariff schedules on
their product, which are the lowest
since the Civil war .-r..- .
The Fordney tariff bill now carries
duties Of four cents a pound on un-
shelled nuts and twelve cents on
shelled nuts, and the Californians are
seeking to have this advanced to five
and fifteen cents, and they are now
awaiting an opportunity to present
their reasons for such a tariff to the
Senate Finance Committee.

the California Almond Growers Elk

$500 producers, is in Washington to
tell the Finance committee OF the

Prohibition officials struck an.
other blow at illegal whiskey to-
day. They screwed the lid tighter
on bonded liquors for drug pur-
! poses. They began slashing into

made that hundreds would be cut
