HOW TO ORDER GRAPE
VINES FROM EUROPE

AS the time for ordering resistant
vines from foreign countries will soon
be at hand, it is of interest to grape
growers, in order TO avoid mistakes
made in tht past and subsequent un-
necessary costs, to know how to pro-
ceed in making importations in ac-
cordance with regulations of the Fed
eral Horticultural Board, Washington
d. c..
In this connection and by request
of the Viticultural Service Mr.. Lee A.
Strong, chief Quarantine Officer,
California State Department of Agri
culture, gives the following advice:
persons contemplating. the impor-
ia tion of such material from foreign
countries should make application to
the Federal Horticultural Board at
Washington, D. c., for a permit, stat
ing in the application the exact des-
tination of the nursery stock and
other plants and seeds to be imported
the name and address of the export
er, the country and locality where
grown, the port of entry, and the rame
and address of the importer in the
United States to whom the permit
should be sent.
application for permits should ir
all cases be made in advance of the
proposed shipment. Applications may
be made by telegraph in which case
the information required above must
be given"

December cotton opened at 14.25,

Today December cotton was quoted

'uation.
Unless something unforeseen hap

Mexican sides of the international
border, VINO allege that they can get
by with cotton at II cents. They may
be over enthusiastic, all charges "a

ent quotation is extreme pleasing
to them and to every BUSH SIS man in
the valley.
. From the best information obtaina-
bic the recent heavy rains did no ma
terial damage to the crop generally
in the valley, but on the other hand

water. The general condition of the
crop is reported excellent, and while
the crop is coming on later than las.
year, there has been some picking al
ready and quite a lot of cotton has
been sent to the gins and a consider
able portion of it has been handled.
Picking in an.r. considerable territory
will not begin before September anG
from the middle of the month to Oc-
tober l the picking season will be at
its height.
This will bring about no inconsiG-
crate increase in the volume of busi-
ness done generally, as a great deal
of money will be put in circulation
for picking, hauling and ginning, and
there will be generous amounts spent
in general trade. which will mean an
Improvement over present conditions
in every line.
A conservative estimate of this
years production of cotton in the I'M
perial Valley gives a total of $4,000
bales for below the line and 10000
bales on the American side. this makcs
a total of approximately 35, 100000
pounds of cotton, which at the pres
ent quotation would bring $3.50, SEQ,
quite hansome sum to drop into the
sadly depleted exchequers of the
cotton rancher.

(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26,-The
dollar value of sales Of thirty repre-
sentative department stores and mail
order houses in the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District during July declined
1919 percent, compared with July 1926
according to John Perrin, chairman of
the board and federal reserve agent.
Mr.. Perrin, said, however, that pres
ent retail prices were reported to av-
efage 20 per cent less than in July of
last year, and the value of the aver
age sale was reported by eleven stores
as 1873 per cent less, indicating that
the physical volume Of trace continues
to be greater than it was a year ago.
The amount of the average sale
reported by eleven firms was $3.50 in
July, compared with $2.52 in June,
and $2.75 in July, 1920.
Collections were said by thirteen
firms to be good, but eleven others
characterized them as only fair.
wholesale trade during July was
was less in value and probably in vol
ume than it was in July year ago, it
was said by John Perrin. Reports
frcm 1S5 Representative wholesale
firms in ten lines of business in the
district, he said, showed decreases of
net sales in July, this year, compared
with July, 1920, in all lines except
automobile tires. in which an increase
of 6.1 per cent was recorded.
Compared with June, 1921. the net
value of July sales Of reporting stores
was less in all lines except automo-
bile tires, automobile equipment and
registered the largest decrease, 46
per cent.
Present prices compared with those
of one year Ego are Substantially low
er in all reporting lines of business.
1t is indicated that the physical vol
ume of merchandise being sold at
wholesale is somewhat less than it
was a year ago. In July, however,
prices were reported as steadier than
they had been hitherto for a year.
Some further reductions in prices
were reported in hardware and fur
niture, but previous declines in these
lines had not been SO large as other
goods.

ARMED BANDITS
LOOT BANK Of
SMALL FORTUNE
Clerk Forced TO Open Vault
After Manager and Cashier
Had Been Beaten Uncon-
Scious.

Los ANGELES, Aug. 26-Four or
five masked and armed bandits robbed
the Huntington Park branch cf the
Los Angeles Trust and Savings bank,
seven miles frem the heart Of the
business district this morning of an
amount of money estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The bandits, four of them in num-
Der entered the bank at II o'clock.
The fifth Hn0it remained at the wheel
Of an automobile standing at the curb
with the engine running. He was
masked also and displayed an automa-
tic pistol.
The men entering the bank with
masks over their faces We're seen as
they came in the door. Manager Al
fred Adams closed and threw the con,-
bination on the heavy vault door.
With revolver at his head one of
the bandits, who was apparently the
leader, ordered Adams to open the
vault door. He refused and was in
stantly knocked unconscious to the
floor with heavy blow with the butt
OF the revolver.
Whirling rapidly to the balance of
the employees who had beah lined up
with their hands in the air, the bandit
ordered Harry Hughes, the cashier Of
the bank to open the vault He like
wise refused and was knocked down
and beaten and kicked into uncop-
ciousness by two OF the gang.
A third emplove was ordere1 on the
pain Of death to unlock the door of the
vault and he complied. Then While two
of the men stood guard over the clerks
removed all the cash in sight, placing
it in two heavy bags which they car
AS soon as thev had cleaned out
the vault they removed the cash from

the other two entered the vault and
the clerks in the bank to make no
outcry they backed from the door and
running across the sidewalk Jumped
into the automobile which was driven
rapidly away on the Long Beach and
Vernon highway.
Pursuit was organized at once, but
tie bandits had disappeared in some
CT the various roads which turn off
the main highway within a short dis
tance of the town.
Officials Of the band had rot been
able to check IN the amount of money
taken by the bandits. but stated that
the loss was fully covered by insur-

VALUE
Assessment for Water Tax
Purposes Will Remain at
Original Figure Fixed by
District Assessor.

Imperial Valley farm lands have not
deprecated in value during the past
year in the opinion of the directors Of
the Imperial Irrigation Dist1icr and
because of that fact it would be an in
justice to the. entire valley TO reduce
the assessed valuation of the land on
the districts assessment rolls. the di-
rectors asserted this morning in dis
cussing the action of the county super
visors in making 40 per cent reduc-
ton in assessed valuations throughout
the county.
No real benefit would be derived by
anyone concerned should the irrigation
district reduce the assessment the
directors believe, and it is possible
that lower assessed valuation @nd
higher tax which would necessarily
follow such reduction probably would
have a bad effect on the market for
the districts bonds and other financial
affairs. With the assessed valuation
.Tnn, aiming unchanged and tax rate
which the directors believe will not
exceed SIPS per $500, and which may
be as low as 81, the district will l<Sve
at least $3.50. 900 from taxation. With
a 40 per cent reduction IN the assessed
valuation it would be necessary that
the tax rate be more than $l.b5 to
raise the same amount OF money that
could be raised on the present assessed
voluation with a tax rate of 81. 1t
was pointed out this morning at the
session of the irrigation district di-
rectors who are sitting as board of
enuaIizatiCn that q lower valuation
making the districts total assessed
valuation about S3l, S0O,o geo would re-
fleet on the condition of the valley
and would tend to have bad effect
generally.
Claims for reductions in assessments
were remarkably light at the opening
session of the equalization board meet
ing, only eight taxpayers appllcn Tor
relief, few in person and the others
BIZ letter 1t is the belief that the WORK
of the beard of equalization will be
exceptionally light this year.

Voters, said that it was generally con-
ceded that the presence Of women at
the polls brought order and dignity.
"Women have started a movement
for better candidates. she said, "The
public is hardly aware Of this as yet
but women are through out the coun-
try holding meetings, getting records.
distributing questionnaires and
preaching the need for more ability
and more honesty in public office.
"They have made persistent ef-
fort to educate the electorate through
citizenship schools and courses and
through the distribution of candidates
records and opinions.
If American women continue as
they have started. they will, in few
years, bring about some startling
changes in legislation, election meth
ods and political standars and they
will accomplish this in quiet and
unostentatious fashion,
