plicate of a popular American mod

materials cannot be produced in
America for less than S4.25. With
the mark worth but fraction more
than a cent and a half in, American
money, the German price for the
mower is 76 cents, or six times be-
low the American price So you can
see what l mean when l say this
industry will be DESTROYED, not Grip

Many other industries face like

THE PROTECTION OF OUR HOME

San Francisco, Sept 13-Quick to
realize the danger of home industry
by the importation of low-priced
German merchandise, England, Aus

countries would not have to lower
their standards of living. but Amer

assistance is again obtainable to an
enlarged extent compared with the

Dangerous Situation.
Both state and Superior national
officials declared the present condi-
lions to be the most dangerous for
forest fires on July I in many years.
Despite the fact that spring rains
gave vegetation a good start and en-
outraged LHe uSudl natural OdTTleT "
forest fires in the summe season, the
long dry. spell has caused the under
growth to wilt and dry up. This has
formed a network of highly combusti-
BILE material, which, forestry men
said, carries fire almost as well as sea
soned grass.
Forestry officials agree that the
fires were begun by lightning.
Ordinarily there is little danger
from this source, Supervisor Dahl
gren said, but the present adverse
conditions make this not only posi-.
Bile but very probable.
However, some Of the smaller fires
are believed to. have originated from
camp fires left burning by campers
fisherfolk, tourists and berry pickers
who are visiting the forests in large
numbers this year.
Should there be no change il
weather conditions within a day o.
two. the forest fire situation is likel!
to develop into a serious menace. i

III The states attorney told the court
that. the man who comFnitted this
crime was a strong young man, be-
cause Marie Wick was a well built
strong girl, and that the man who
.overpowered her must have exercised
considerable strength, having sufi-
Gent strength, to choke her with m

did not seem, however, to have
strength enough to raise her head
from the west side of the bed, against
the wall. back on to the bed. and had
used his knees, evidenced in
the blood stains on the trousers and
the finger marks.
