the triple assault in wrestling-the head

II you had your choice would you
rather have your head warped, your leg

As Furnishing holds there is no vast
difference, except that the head lock
has a more brutal look to the crowd.
The wrestling multitudes have become
adjusted to seeing u mans toe twisted

RAILROAD WAGE SCALE.

The Federal Railroad Labor Board has issued its report
announcing reduction of the OF railroad employees OF
about II per effective July J. This reduction will
saving to the railroads, and ultimately the consumer who
pays the freight Of about S400,000,O COO per year.
This staggering sum of money and the lay
mind that ought work wonders getting freight
back to prewar basis But the railroads complaining
that the granted reductions which effect only 104 railroads
of the country sufficient enable them make
substantial cuts in their tariff sheets The day before the
reductions announced the Railway Age, which is the
official spokesman for the ASSOCIATION of Railway EXecu
tveS, had this to say Of the proposed cut in wages:
THE public should that if the average
ducton in granted shall be small these reports
indicate they will not be sufficient make practicable
substantial reductions of rates The advance in wages grant
cost of living about liz cent than before the
averaged about 20 per cent for each employee and
the basis of the number of employed in 1920 amounted
to about S7750O0000 1t made the average compensation
The reduction the average of living since that time
according to the most reliable estimates is at least 40 per
cent and the present based chiefly
tn cost of living prevailing the time they fixed there
good why the reduction should
be at least equivalent the advance granted
July On the basis of the of living there would
fcaton for making the lower than they
before the last advance in wages granted.
With the present in effect it found in the
latter part of 1920 when the railways handling
heavy business that they failing at the of about
$500 year net return at the rate of per
upon the valuation placed upon their properties by the
Interstate Commerce Commission The business being
handled at the present time much smaller than them
the railways thus far 1920 have earned almost no net
operating income at all. Unless, therefore, the Railroad
Labor Board shall both wipe out the national agreements
and make reduction of equivalent to the advance
which granted last the prospect of any
substantial reduction in rates necessarily will be very
rehote."

CATTLE MARKET
IN FINE SHAPE

The marketing committee Of the
California Cattlemen's association this
morning issued its report of condi-
tons for the week ending May 30, as
follows:
SFeW sales of beef steers are report
ed this week at &c on the ranch and of
choice cows and heifers at &c and 6 IA
cents on the ranch. Sales of cattle at
less figures are reported, but our in
formation is that these cattle are of
inferior quality. Certain interests are
apparently trying to. depresS the mar
ket through the quotttions in the daily
papers, the method being to publish
lower prices every few days f. 0. b.
yard San Francisco. the prices named
being much less than actual sales at
the same time in the country. For in
stance, Saturday, May 28th, the top
quotation on No. / COWS and heifcrs
was 12c f. 0. b. San Francisco. The
same day cows and heifers were sold
at lac on the ranch.
Every information we have confirms
our previous statement that there is
more feed and less cattle in California
than for several years. Cattlemen
should stand firm. The last of avail
able fed cattle are being used in Port
land and Seattle markets, and they will
have to come to California for supply
in short time. Very few commission
cattle coming in. Don't send cattle on
commission. Under no circumstances
offer cattle until they are well finished
We have made no use of the guar
anty fund because there is no surplus
of cattle in sight for this summer and
fall, and we believe when northern
buyers draw on US for their supply,
then an actual shortage will develop.
We stand ready to use the guaranty
fund in case circumstances should de-

ADJUSTMENTS
THROUGH THE BACK DOOR"

Mary Pickford comes to the Palace
Airdome starting next Sunday where
this ever-popular stars new United
Artists production Through the Back
Door" is to be given a two days show
ing.
"America's Sweetheart" has seldom
appeared in more appealing and sat-
isfving play, according to the theater
management. 1t is said to be a story
of tremendous heart interest, dealing
with the pathetic efforts of little
French girl to reach her mother from
whom she has been separated since
bahyhood.
The climax of the story comes in one
Of Americas castles of the rich stu
ated on Long Island. The plot is one
of numerous complications, featuring
those serio-comic situations where
laughter mingles with tears. Miss
Pickford as little girls is always at
her best, and for that reason it is be-
lieved that this picture will be espe-
cially pleasing to Little Mary's many
admirers.

but their deposits were not replen-
ished as before. Their debts did
not shrink with the value of their
products, and the prices. of goods
which they purchased did not
shrink in the same proportion.
Probably there is as much money
in the community as before, but
money is only small change; the
buying power, or debt-paying
power has diminished, and the CONF
mon form of expression is that
money is tight What it really
signifies is that the means of max
ing payments are hard to find.
The agricultural districts have
suffered more than industrial dis
tricts because their products have
fallen more than manufactured
goods; moreover they do not have
the amount OF fixed income from
savings that some of the older
states have. Their outstanding in
debtedness usually runs to other
states. The Boston reserve bank
was the first to experience liquida-
ton in its own territory, its clients
being banks that serve industrial
communities. AS the latter COL
lected what was due them from
other parts of the country, and as
their operations slowed down, they
paid off thor bank loans, and the
Boston reserve bank and later the
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1921-06-02

Philadelphia and Cleveland reserve
banks began to lend to the reserve
banks of Chicago, Minneapolis,
Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta and
Richmond, all of the latter serving
districts in which agricultural in
terests predominated. This shows
how the banking system of the
country is interlocked and mutually
supporting, to the advantage of all
industries and all sections.
1t is not so much present specu-
lation and extravaganza that is con-
tributing to tight money as past
indulgenccs which had to do with
creating the indebtedness now out
standing. 1t is the debts so gaily
created in boom times that make
money tight when prices fall. The
debts do not shrink with the loss
of debt-paying power.
The trouble is largely due to the
unbalanced state OF industry. The
prices of what the farmer must buy
have not fallen to correspond with
the prices of what he has to sell.
His purchasing power is contracted
and he cannot go on buying the
same quantity of goods at the old
prices. Consequently great num-
bers of workmen are out of en-
ployment in the industrial centers.
and money grows tight with them
also.

FAST GROWING DATE

fBy United prcss)

RIVERSIDE, June 2.-Coachella
Valley, the only section in the state
where the date palm is grown COM
mercially is offsetting the slow
growth of the Deglet Moor industry
by importing the Sadly palm, which
bears three times as many shoots as
the Deglet Moor.
Deglet Noors give only eight shoots
during the four years of shooting, or
two shoots a year. Since the French
government, in 1915, took steps to
prohibit the expectation Of date palms
from Algeria, the growth of the indus
try as far as the Deglet Moor is con-
cerned has been far below expectation.
Hence the eagerness of growers to
give some of their acreage over to the
Sadly palm.
With about $4,000 acres of desert
land available in Coachella valley for
date culture, about 100 acres are be-
ing utilized. OF these 100 acres, 500
acres are planted to seeding varieties,
and 600 acres to standard varieties.
Eighty per cent of the standard var
ieties are the Deglet Moor.

"Where has all the money gomez"

"Where has all the money gone"
Time after time during recent
months we have been asked this
leading question. People generally
understand that, say this time two
years ago, money was easy; to-
day, with presumably the same
amount of wealth in the country,
money is tight.
To the average man. hundreds of
millions of dollars seem to have
literally disappeared. Bankers are
seeing their deposits and their loans
drop. What has become of all this
money which, TWO years ago.
seemed so easily obtainable on
every hand? Understanding OF the
true answer to these queries, we
believe. means more intelligent
understanding Of the business situa-
ton to-day.
Il may be said this condition gen.
orally is the result OF the fall OF
prices which has taken place in the
past year, The fact that the prices of
all commodities have not fallen in
like degree, and that bank de-
posts have not been replenished
to make good the drafts on
them 10 Pay outstanding obliga-
tons.
During the period of imitation
bank deposits rose steadily with
the loans. When a bank customer
borrowed money, taking credit for
II IN his account, the banks de-
posts were increased in that
amount. And when the customer
checked out the amount to pay for
a Liberty Bond. or any other pur-
pose. the check went into some
ether bank as a deposit, and thus
It became purchasing power per-
mancntly in circulation until that
borrower - or some borrower
checked against deposit account
that had been actually earned and
saved, and thereby extinguished a
corresponding amount OF credit.
We followed this process OF in
fiating our bank deposits up to
about November l, 1920. Some of
OR bankers were very proud over
the growth OF their deposits dur
ing that time, although they signi-
fed very little except that a carload
OF hogs, or wheat, or other prod
uctS, was creating twice as big a
credit entry as before the war.
The fundamental point to bear in
mind Is that money is only the
medium OF payments. -. AS a con-
crete example take, say. an agri-
cultural community in the Middle
West. The real debt-paying power
OF that community is in its farm
products. and as the prices of these
have fallen the debt-paying power,
or purchasing power, has been
diminished. The bank patrons
went on drawing upon their deposit
accounts to pay their obligations
