Thomas Wells, Jr., millionaire
doughboy. is the only man in the
United States with two legal wives!
And he isn't satisfied!
Does Tom want another? He does
not!
You see, it's like this: Some twelve
years ago, after a party, Tom Wells,
who had just dropped into his fathers
millions, was passing through the lob
by Of one of the New York theaters
when a 1narvelousiy attractive little

The blonde was a manicurist in
New York, but known Jack in her
old home town of Youngstown as
Stasia WEIGH Wells, the 'most beau

much as $500 on a stocking bill and

Use OF GRINDER
MAKES PROFITS
Exhaustive Studies ShO ~
Crushing Grain Increases
It's Digestibility

When the feed grinder is used intel
ligently, it is a maker of~profits for
the farmer. The tractor owner has
plenty of power for feed grinding, and
others solve the problem with gas en-
gines, which are a part of the equip
ment of many Southern California farm
and orchard enterprises.
Grinding, crushing and rolling grain,
it has been shown by exhaustive studies
by federal live stock experts, increases
the digestibility of feed. Barley, milo
or other grain sorghums and rice should
always be ground for live stock. For
animals with poor teeth, or for young
animals before their teeth are well de-
veloped, grinding all grain is generally
advisable. Ordinarily, horses should
should grind their own feed, and idle
horses always should, but a COW pro-
ducing large flow Of milk is hard
working animal, and her grain should
always be ground. When pigs do not
run with the cattle, it is usually found
economical to grind their feed for
them, and for older animals the grind
ing of the feed is also found profitable.
In the fitting of sales or show stock,
it is frequently desirable to promote
rapid growth, and fine finish is al
ways desirable. Therefore ground
grain is used in feeding these animals.
The poultry farmer of Southern Cali
fornia has learned the advantage of
ground feeds, and many farms are
grinding their own mash feeds.

OF course, the entire country would
not suffer by such q condition. The
cities, the commercial centers, those To-
calities not producing the particular

the expense of the producing communi-

The Commercial club has made a
great mistake for community such as

laying a tax upon their importation, to
protest against q measure calculated to

The Commercial club has made a
great mistake in taking stand, and
representing, of course, that the whole

stand, in opposing legislation that will
build up our section, that be of direct
benefit to every one living in the com

Instead of opposing the great and

SWING JOINS HAYDEN
IN FLOOD BILL

Representative Carl Hayden of Ari-
zona has introduced bill in the house
of representatives which provides for
investigation and report by board of
army engineers of the entire levee stu
alton on the Colorado river from above
Fort Mohave to the Imperial Valley.
This work is to be done under the
terms of the flood control act and the
report of the engineers will show what
federal interest is involved and what
share of the expense of levee construc-
ton should be borne by the United
States.
The committee on flood control has
been requested to grant an early hear
ing on the bin at which time Mr.. Hay
den expects to present statement of
facts in support of the measure based
upon the need for protecting the lands
in Arizona. At this hearing Congress
man Phil ID. Swing, who is greatly in
terested in the Hayden bill, will sub
NIT data showing the need for flood
control works on the California side of
the river, an instance of which is the
great damage that has been done to
the Palo Verde valley by the recent
break in the levee.
Both congressman believe that re-
gardless of the construction of the
Boulder canyon dam or other storage
works higher up the stream, it will
still be necessary to maintain a levee
system in order to properly protect the
cultivated lands adjacent to the Col
orado river and that for this reason
the levee situation should be studied
by engineers of the army who are IA
miliar with levee construction on other
streams.
The bill reads:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-

cattle in Douglas and Lyon counties
in Nevada has been proclaimed by
Governor William d. Stephens at the
request of the division of animal in

Infected cattle have been noted in the

WEED CONTROL,
BIG FARM item
Rules Promulgated for This
Imp0rtant Work by u. S.
Dent. of Agriculture

The underlying principles of weed
control are shown in these rules by the
specialists of the United States Depart,
ment of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturing animals, particu.
larly sheep and goats, in Keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Now
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of harrow or n weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using if it contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed i'll the
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, clover,
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to
give the crop a start over the weeds.
Use Winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds, and
kill them.
Now dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-.
tire season with building paper, boards,
or other materials to exclude the light
Kill the roots of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa when practicable on
weed infested land.
Soil improvement by the use OF
lime or green manure will help to
control the weeds.
Soiling crops prevent the weeds
from reaching maturity.
When other methods fall, use the
bare fallow. 1t is better to lose a
whole crop for one year than to lose
large part of the crops every year.
Do not introduce weed seeds by
means of thrashing machines, stock
feed hay, straw, chaff, etc.

RECLAMATION
HAS GOOD SUPPORT
Provisions of Measure so I'm
DOrtnnt to Welfare of
imperial Valley

Western members of congress are
supporting the bill introduced by Rep
rcsentative Smith Of Idaho, providing
for federal cooperation of states in the
development of agricultural resources.
The bin has been favorably reported
bv the house committee on irrigation
Of arid lands, and efforts are being
made to secure early action on the
measure so it can be sent to the senate.
Representative John f. Raker of
California, one of the committee mem
bers, says the proposed legislation is
among the most constructive under
consideration for western states.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
$350,000,000 over n period of years
upon estimates that would be furnish
ed by the secretary of the interior. 1t
is provided that the secretary can con-,
tract with reclamation districts, or
ganized undes tate laws. The secre-
tary would investigate proposed proN
jects the cost of such investigation to
be born half by the government and
half by the reclamation district. If
the project is found to be feasible, then
the government could agree to build it,
conditioned upon the district depositing
its bonds with the federal farm loan
board in ample amount to cover the
estimated cost.
The secretary of interior would fix
the farm unit size, ranging from
twenty acres in fruit district or one
adapted to intensive cultivation to
one not exceeding 1G0 acres in a gen
eral farming section. Lands owned by
private parties in excess Of the farm
unit would be classed as excess lands.
These, as well as all public lands with
in the district could be acquired by ex-
service men under a preference right.
Ex service men also would be given pre-
ference in employment on all project
works.
