amount of ill-feeling and is the out
growth of this sentiment. Factions in
the valley have always been antagon-

these, although seemingly down at
times, refuse to die. Rose himself IS
a never say die fighter.
The award by the government board
Of arbitration came after the repre-
sentatives of the Imperial Irrigation
District and Rose had passed the ugly
word in Washington last winter more
than once. A prior contract by Rose

parties had agreed to abide by its de

This fall, however. when the district
was about to pay the bill and after
Mr.. Rose had come home and himself

World Conference
To Steady Market
As Advised
(By Associated Press)

MANCHESTER, Eng, Jan. 28.-A
leading cotton grower has sent a
message to Sir Charles NIAGARA urging
that 9 world cotton conference be call
ed without delay, to deal with the sit
uaion arising from the decline IN the
Price of fibre and the threatened 80
Yvr cent reduction in acreage under
cotton, says the Manchester Gu.rIi.,n.
In the course of an interview, Sir
Charles, who is one of the largest cot
ton manufacturers of Great Britain,
said:
Cotton has fallen long way below
the cost Of production. and the in
avitable result will be that great
curalment in the acreage devoted to

fer many wears that cotton is a COM
mcdity which, if properly packed and
stcred, can be kept for years without
deterioration.
"A recommendation such as I made
= the outbreak of war, that the sur
plus cotton should be taken over by
he governments interested, should be
cdorted now. This would save the
situation. If action is not taken we
shall rave a reretltlon OF What occur
ed in the early days of the war, when
American cotton fell from Z 12 pcnsc
to pense pound, involving all con-
cerned in heavy losses, and subse-
ouently rose to 40 pense, increasing
the price of the worlds cotton crop
by 1,000,000000 pounds, and raising
the price of clothing enormously.
"N-e are undoubtedly suffering from
the press campaign of slump the
restriction of credit to bring about
forced sales, and the government eX-
cess profits duty. which, instead of
ncouraging industry, has had the CT
feet Of strangling it.
"These are the factors mainly re-
sponsible for the present dearth of
business, from which. however, there
IS bound to be great reaction. Both

nicious, What is wanted is read

800 YEARS AGO
KING SPUD ARRIVED
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The tercer-
tenary of the planting of the first
potato in the United States will be
next Decmbr, according to DIR. Brthold
Laufer, Curator of Anthropology, of
the Field museum here.
"The potato entered this country"
Dr.. Laufer said, in an address before
the Amrican Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science, mot as sur
missed by AIDE Candolle, through an
alleged band of Spanish adventurers,
but in a perfectly respectable manner
from Bermuda, where it had been in
troduced some years previously from
England.
1T is a prank of fortune that the
potato, originally a denizen of Chile
and Peru, appears as n naturalized
Englishman in the United States.
The potato had arrived in England
about 1886 or little later.

CALEXICO, Jan. 2S.-After four
days of a depressed market cotton
rallied today and again is on the up
grade.
There is little excitement here over
the temporary ups and downs of the
market as hundreds of growers are in
q position to hold for 25 cent cotton
which they believe is coming. The
market goes up and then some Sec
ticn starts unloading and down it
goes again. Imperial apparently will
not attempt to unload until the %
cent mark is reached.

DUCK HUNTERS MUST
GET THEIR LIMITS
BY MONDAY NIGHT
Especial to The Press.)

CALIPATRIA, Jan. Monday
night, January 31st, at midnight sees
the official closing of the duck hunt
ing season. The season really closes
at sundown that afternoon as hunting
is not allowed after dark.
Therefore Sunday and Monday are
expected to be great days for nimrod
followers and hundreds are expected
TO visit the vicinity of Salton Sea.
One odd feature of the present sea-
eon has been the remarkable lack of
duck stories within the last few days.
Many of the hunters speak of their
rrowess only in hushed tones.
Whether the advent of Federal Game
Warden f. p. Walker has anything to
DO with the sudden verbal slaughter
of the ducks is question for others
to answer.

IDLE MEN DISLIKE IDEA OF
HARD WORK.

| Sioux City, Oct. 15.-Every labor
/ ing man in Sioux City who possibly
I can do so should make his way into
the eornfields and help in gathering G
/ the corn crop, declared Mayor w. NJ
/ Short, at a conference of unemployed
at the Labor temple Wednesday
night. Admitting that there are GER
( tain undesirable features about this
work. Mr. Short asserted that it is
I up to the idle man to show the pub
lie that he is willing to do his best
to help himself as long as possible
before he can justly expect assist
ance from the public in time of
need. PLAY fair withus," said the
mayor. "and we will play fair with
you and see that none starve during
the coming winter
Despite the mayors plea for TAX
ers for the hundreds of jobs waiting
in the cornfields there was noticeable
in the attitude of those who were
bold enough to voice their opinions
an air of defiance to his position. As
is down now and it is well that it
should be SO, for he will never learn
to fight as he should side by side
with the laboring man, until he has
had a taste of the same thing the Ia
boring man has been up against all
these years" The speaker virtually
charged the farmer with being unwil-
ling TO pay for his labor in proper
tion to what he was able on the basis
of what he was geetting for his prod
uct.
Another speaker declared that to
accept a job picking corn at 3 or 4
cents per bushel would be simply
playing into the hands of the employ
ing class who are making a deter
mined effort TO break the spirit or
the laborer and inaugurate open shop
conditions" He urged his fellow Ia
borers, therefore, to stay away from
the cornfields.
Although every man who took the
floor told of having been without en-
ployment for periods ranging from
six weeks to five months and of hav-
ing failed to obtain work after a com
tinuous search, there was only one
who volunteered the information
that he would take a job picking
corn.
The lone applicant for a corn pick
ing job said he had been turned
down because he had no experience.
The mayor suggested that such men
offer to start to work for their board
only as an indication that they were
honestly trying to help themselves.
This plan met with derisive laughter
from the audience. The men made
the plea that they could not stand
the rigorous work attached to the
lob of cornhusking and that they
could not support a family on what
they would be able to earn at such
work.

RECEIPTS SET
A NEW RECORD
INCOME FROM SERIES NEARLY
TOPS MILLION DOLLAR MARK
GIANTS GET S. EACH.

New York, Oct. 15.-The 1921
world series, set new financial and
attendance records. Total receipts
for the eight games were s900,233,
contributed by 269,976 spectators.
This was s177,S19 more than the
best previous gate collected in the
1919 series between Cincinnati and
Chicao, when the total was $722,414,
for the eight games of that year The
attendance in the series Just closed
also was IS,075 greater than the
eight games of the Giants-Boston
American play in 1912 when the to-
tai count registered 251,901, which
has stood as a record for nine years.
AS result of the enormous gate
receipts all those who participate in
the sharing of the funds will receive
more than any of their predecessors
in similar positions. The Giants, as
winners collect so per cent of rs
per cent of the players share of the
receipts for the first five games,
amounting to s131.635, which, d.
vided among some 25 eligible men,
gives approximately s5,265 to each.
The Yankees 40 per cent share as
losers amounted to ss7,756.67, and
under the same system OF division
will give the players of the defeated
club almost $3.50 each. Under the
plan of distributing 25 per cent
among club players finishing second
and third in both major leagues. the
Cleveland Americans, and the Pitts
burgh Nationals will divide S43,-
.87S.34 equally, while the two st.
Louis teams. as third place clubs,
share s29,252.22.

TAKE ACTION ON
RATE REDUCTION
YANKTON CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE DEMANDS IMMEDIATE
DECREASE IN FREIGHT
CHARGES.

YAnkton, Oct. Is Legislation
either repeating or modifying the
Adamson law, the labor board statute
and the railway transportation act of
1920 is urged upon congress, and
immediate and substantial reduction
of freight rates upon all agricultural
commodities" is urged upon the rail-
ways serving the people of South Da-
kota, in resolutions prepared by the
special committee of citizens appoint
ed to discuss reight rates, and pre-
sented by that committee to the
chamber of commerce, for approval.
The committee was composed of l..
W. Henderson, j. NJ. Brander and
NJ. j. Wentworth.
Cost of transporting agricultural
products is almost prohibitive and
will destroy the industry unless re-
lief is given, the resolution declares.
Under existing legislation, however,
the resolution says, railway manage
ments cannot meet changing econo-
mic conditions and mkae the neces-
sary readjustments, so congress is
asked to change the laws under
which the roads are operating.
Railway labor is both arbitrary
and inefficient" the resolution says.
Repeal of six per cent guarantee on
income of the roads also is recon-
mended.
Copies of the resolution should be
sent to the railways, to congress, TO
the governor. as well as to all other
cities interested in lowering rates on
agricultural products, the committee
recommends.

of actual burning of corn had been
