CITY DADS HEAR
PAVING PROTEST

Protests against the proposed paving
occupied the attention of the city
council at the meeting Wednesday
night.
G. G. Hicks presented a petition,
claimed to have the signatures of a
ma iority of property owners along
Holt avenue, asking that that street
be excluded from the paving pro-
gram.
A. n. Bucklin appeared to protest
against paving the alley between Main
street and Broadway. Mr.. Bucklin s
objection was based upon the inequal-
ity contained in the proposition to fin
lance a water main in connection with
the paving proposition and the inelus-
ion in the district certain property not
directly benefited by surfacing the
alleys. Mr.. Bucklin said that he be-
lieved that it would soon be necessary
to finance extensions and improve
ments in the entire water system. He
thought that the proposed mains should
be included in a general bond propos-
ition and promised his support for
such a bond issue when it was
launched.
Mavor Faweett replied to Mr.. Buck
I'm, agreeing WIN MIN III pIInciPle anu
suggesting possible relief. City Attor-
ney Larew, who was present, Thought
that the mayors plan might be at
tackled legally and the whole question
was left in the air.
A movement developed to have the
pavement on He'll avenue extended
from Seventh to Eighth streets. The
proposition was supported by j. G.
Hamilton and others. Something def
mite may develop later.
Proposed new ordinances were dis
cussed informally and action was tax
en- advancing some measures which
were already under way.

BISHOP STUNT
MAKES ADDRESS
TO METHODISTS
Appeals for Missionary
Funds to Carry on in
Foreign Countries

IT is not often that Ell Centre is priv
| ileged to welcome so distinguished 4
guest as Bishop Homer Stuntz, who was
entertained last night by the Methodist
people of the valley and who addressed
them later Over $50 were seated at
the banquet which was served by the
The social hall was decorated in au-
tumn flowers which also adorned the
table and the menu was served quickly
and quietly. with every guest rceeivin
his or her due amount of attention.
After the dinner many others came
to hear the Bishop, SO that the hall was
filled to its capacity.
Bishop Stuntz is a man of unusual
education and culture, has travelled eA-
tensivelv, and has had many years of
experience as a missionary in foreign
countries. Out of the wealth of his
experiences, he brought to the people
of the valley first hand knowledge of
other lands, their modes of living, their
religions, their burning need of the one
religion that makes life worth while.
Personal experiences were recounted
done in heather countries by other ma
tions that have laid foundations ready
for the building that must be done by
America.
Bishop Stuntz believes that from the
beginning God designed America to
carry Christ to other lands; that He
has marvelously prospered us and that
our duty in the matter of Christianz-
ing the world is plain. Rich i'll re-
sources, with boundless wealth ana
other conditions favorable, America can
do great work, he said.
The purpose of the visit of Bishop
Stuntz to this section, was to awaken
a deeper interest in the evangelizatiOn
of the heather lands. He told of the
need for money and workers and when
the appeal was mad for mony to hold
the work up, at least to its present
efficiency, Il generous response was
made in cash and pledges. Due to the
hard times of the readjustment period,
the collections for mission purposes in
most of the churches have decreased
and unless the deficit is made up, the
work must be curtailed.
The local Methodist churches were
not appealed to in vain and will un-
doubtedly do their part toward holding
the apportionment to the present stand
ard The churches of Calexico, Heber,
Imperial, Brawley and Holtville ali
sent large delegations to hear Bishop
Stuntz last night.

PROTEST VOTERS
NOT ORGANIZED .
STRENGTH SPLIT
Minor Parties Nominate
Own Candidates Again
Labor Conservative
Bv LAWRENCE MARTIN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Effort to
unite the forces of radicalism, liberal
ism, unrest and protest into a cohesive
political unit apears again to have
failed. In the November election,
as in previous ones, these forces will
divide their strength among a large
number of candidates.
This year an early start was made
| in the attempt to bring the radicals
and liberals of all shades under one
Leadership, so that they would all vote
for set of congressional candidates
,and make a stronger showing. Social
lists, socialist labor groups, farmer
labor parties, progressives and others
who have broken away from the two
major parties, were urged to agree
locally on candidates to be supported
by, all the liberal or "prOtest voters
of that congressional district or state.
| 1t was suggested that where the
farmer-labor party was strongest it
pick candidates; that the Socialists
pick them where they were strongest.
Everybody else who did not want
Republican or Democrat elected was
to rally around the third candidate.
1t now appears that much in their
usual style, the minor parties have
| gone their separate ways, nominating
their own candidates and thus have
| split their strength.
/ In Illinois, for example, where the
labor, farmer and Socialist groups
combined could make an impressive
showing, they have failed to unite,
and in nearly every congressional dis
trict of the state there was Socialist
candidate for congress and farmer
labor candidate.
In New York state some progress
has been made towards uniting the
various groups. In great many dis
tricts the Socialist and farmer labor
groups have united on a common eand-
idate, although this is not always the
case.
Twenty Parties
Liberal leaders who have been in
formed of this predicted that the two
major parties would be shocked at the
size of the protest vote this year.
Labor, it has been promised, would
jolt the Republicans on account of the
Daugherty injunction and the decisions
of the Supreme Court affecting the
status Of organized workers.
Labor's protest, however, seems un-
likely to advance greatly the cause Of
radicalism in this country, principally
because the workers, except those who
are Socialists or active members of
one Of the radical groups, are inclined
to conservatism politically
The extent of the radical split is
shown by the fact that no fewer than
20 "parties" or groups have present
ed congressional candidates this year.

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders Which Ancient Chemists Strived for by the
 Utilization of Coal Tar By-Products,
No. w
(ToId In Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND
THE ALCHEMIST'S DREAM

Through the literature of the an clients runs the absorbing story of the alchemist's patient search for the touchstone which would transform all base metals into pure gold, and the never-ending quest for the elixir which would restore youth to the aged and would cure all human ills. The alche- mist, driven from cellar to garret and often put to death, had an elemental knowledge of chemistry and vaguely dreamed that it could be made to per form wonders.
 It was Ben Jonson's alchemist, Subtle, back in the early seventeenth century who planned Ito change all that is in my house to gold, and early in the morning to send to all the plumbers and pewterers and buy their tin and lead up; and to Lothbury for all the copper" And more than that, by means of this magic elixir, in eight and twenty days he planned to trans form an old man of four score into a prattling child.
 Certainly, chemistry has not sue ceeded in performing these marvels. The philosophers stone still is an un- known quantity to science, buried, per haps, with the pot of gold at the rain bows end and the elixir of youth is as deeply hidden as on that far-of day when De Soto set forth so bravely from Spain to find it in the new world But chemistry has accomplished won ders by the utilization of coal tar by products which contribute to every phase of our daily life. Take the fairy glass of the chemist and look in- to this rather uninteresting substance coal
 We put a kettle of it over fire and we see leaving at various times what the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone, toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol, anthracene, carbazol, and some others. But these are the most important. Some are clear liauids, some are

Round Posts Take Creosote
 Better Than Split Posts

Is a split fence post as durable as round fence post? This is ques- tion frequently asked of the United States Department of Agriculture. The fact is, says the Forest Products Laboratory, one kind of post will last about as long as the other if the amount of heartwood is the same in both. But if the percentage of sap wood is increased by splitting, the split post will be less durable, and if the percentage of heartwood is in creased, it will be more durable than a round one. Posts of spruce, hem lock, or any of the true frs are ex- captions to this rule, because their heartwood and sapwood are about equally durable.
 When posts are to be treated with creosote or other preservative, a round post is preferable to split post, because of the comparative ease with which the sapwood can he treated The heart faces on split posts do not, as a rule, absorb pre-

on the crooks or jars, they also should be sterilized before use. Lard stored in air-tight containers away from the light has been found to keep in per feet condition for several years.
 Removing Lard From Containers
 In order to have the lard keep well in the jars that have been opened for use it should be removed evenly all the way across. Do not dig down into the lard and take out a large scoopful, leaving we'll with lot of surface exposed. A thin coating left around the wallis of the containers is almost sure to turn rancid because of the action of the air.
 Lard is not a hard product to handle, but a little extra care at butchering time and in putting it away will insure product that will be better than the kind the average man makes. If you have customers for the surplus, this little difference, as in the case of sausage, hams, and bacons, will help greatly in building up and maintaining a good demand.

Estimating Amount of Ice
 For Dairy and Family Use

The quantity of ice needed for a dairy farm with 10 or more cows oe- bends on it's location, number of cows milked, and methods of hand ling the product. In the Northern States, the United States Department of Agriculture has found that with g moderately good ice house, where the shrinkage from melting is net more than 30 per cent, half a ton of ice to each COW is sufficient to cool the cream and hold it at q low tenn perature for delivery two or three times a week. Suitable cooling tanks, however, are necessary unda~ this estimate.
 The half-ton-per-cow estimate for ice to be stored allows for reason able waste and also for ordinary household use. If whole milk is to be cooled the quantity of ice stored must be increased to F tons per COW in the North. To meet the needs of the average family on a general farm it will be necessary to store about tons.

of these intermediates, one line of treatment will produce drugs, another high explosives, another poison gases, still other perfumes, food havors and photographic materials. Some have varying peace and war time uses with out further treatment. 1t should be noted that some of these crudes~ re- quire as many as fifteen manipulations to produce a given compound and in each manipulation a by-product is produced which again must be made into something useful in order to avoid waste.
 It is because of this treatment and retreatment of coal, crudes and inter mediates that it is so easy to convert a dye plant into a factory for the pro- duction of high explosives or poison ous gases almost over night.
 Germany was indeed farsighted, back in 1859, when she took advantage of Perkins discovery and began the development of gigantic dye industry so that she might never be without the crudes and intermediates so essential to success in war or peace.
 Germany developed the synthetic dye industry, just as she developed other industries, to create employment and wealth for her millions. But through these developments she learn ed the value of chemistry, of chemicals, and of chemists themselves. She real ized early how dependent her peace development was on chemistry and she soon saw the value of chemical in- dustries to war. Germany saw that the manufacture of dyes required much chemical research and also that dye making made use of the waste prod ucts from the coke ovens, themselves necessity to her iron and steel in- dustry She saw its value in the pro- ducton of explosives, gases and fer tilizers for her fields. This foresight gave Germany forty year start on the United States, and the rest of the world.

Anti-Hog- Cholera Serum
 Saves Many Hogs

The impression that hog cholera is
 a disease that will be eliminated be-
 fore many years through the use of
 anti-hog-cholera serum has been
 spread throughout the country, but
 there is little ground for such be-
 lief, says the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture. The serum
 treatment, when properly given, will
 protect hogs against the disease, but
 it does not go to the source and elim-
 mate the germs from the country,
 which would be necessary if hog
 cholera is to become thing of the
 past. It might be possible to elimin- ate the disease if every hog in the
 United States could be kept immun-
 ized all of the time, but such
 measure would be impractical, if not
 impossible.
 Hog cholera is of varying prevail ence, both as to the time of the year and as to periods of several years. In the fall-October and November there is more of this disease than in the other months. The number of hogs per thousand affected by it changes greatly from year to year, also. There have been years, such as 1887, 1897, and 1913, when cholera ragged throughout the Corn Belt, causing great losses to farmers. In the years intervening between these high points the losses were relatively low.
 Since 1913 hog cholera has been but slightly prevalent as compared with the worst years, but there is no assurance that other great waves of the disease will not occur as they did before serum was used. It has been but years since the last high point in losses from cholera, and the records of the Department of Agri- culture show that the period between the high points of prevalence is usu- ally 10 years or longer.
 This fall there are reports of in- creased losses from cholera, but some increase is to be expected every fall. The fact that farm products have brought smaller returns in re- cent months has no doubt caused less serum to be bought, and many far mers have lost their herds when they might have saved them. Perhaps they could not have prevented the occurrence of the disease, but they could have prevented the hogs from dying of it.
 Getting rid of hog cholera is not simple matter, which may be appre- ciated when it is remembered that ,he infection has been carried to all parts of the United' States and that he ways in which it spreads are prob ably not all thoroughly known. It nay be many long year before this plague of the swine industry is elim- | mated. The best thing to be done now is for each farmer to keep close watch over his herd, and on the first suspicion of the disease immunizo every hog.
 Some men now consider immuniza- ton against hog cholera as one of the regular expenses of pork production and have it done every year. They realize that it is not a cure, but only 3 prevention against loss. Even when serum is used there is some times a loss, but in nearly all cases the method is very successful. It is the only dependable means available for preventing losses from hog cholera.

Excellence in art is to be attained only by active effort, and not by pas. sive impressions; by the manly over coming of difficulties, by patient, struggle against adverse circumstance, by the thrifty use of moderate oppor- tunitities.

Live Stock Require Salt

Salt is required by all animals. The United States Department of Agriculture says that the dairy COW requires an ounce or more a day, and, while she should be given all she needs, she should not be forced to take more than she wants. It is best, therefore, to give only small quan- tity on the feed, and to place rock salt in the boxes in the yard. where the stock can lick it at will.
