Swedish Exports
 Equal And Excel
 Pre-War Figures

Stackholm, Sept. That Sweden has definitely survived the postwar crisis, and is one of the first nations in Europe to sR ow natural and con monthly report on the foreign trade of this country during June. which has just been issued.
 The export of timber and sawn wood "a. staple commodity, has grown so rapidly that the volume is now 97 per cent. of the peace-time figures. At the end of June the timber sales we're close to 600,000 standards, which is considerably more than half of the normal yearly output. Ihe export of matches is 95 per cent Of the rpre-war normal, and it is en-
 couraging that the export of iron ore has even surpassed pre-war fig ures by tl1ee per cent. As regards
 wood pulp and paper, which Amerlca buys from Sweden in large quantl- ties, the figures for the month eX- ceed the 1913 figures for the core | spending month by IS to 72 per cent.
 Incidentally it is reported that one
 reason why the quotations on su. | phite pulp are high is the increase d demand from the United States for 1 the manufacture of artificial silk. l News print which is shipped 1n great volume to America, shows an export figure 72 per cent. above that l of 1913.
 | In the line of manufactured indus l trial products the quantity of electrl-
 cal machines and apparatus, pal l bearings and telephones is nearly three times that of June, 1913. Crean 1 separato~ss and motors have risen tc | 59 per cent. of the pre-war figure. l. A similar indication of prosperity
 is seen in the increasing imports ot

KANSAS GOVERNOR
GETS WHITE TODAY

TOPEKA, Kans., July 22.-William
Allen White, Emporia sage. and pub
Usher, who invited arrest and defied
the Kansas industrial court and his
best friend, Governor Henry j. Allen,
won t be disappointed today.
White will be arrested this after
noon, according to present plans.
All Kansas is smiling about it. So
is White, but Governor Allen ism t. 1t
is serious business with him.
White, after midnight and earl,
morning conferences with Industrial
court judges, j. A. MacDermott and
Walter Higgins, said to be Allen peace
emissaries, announced increase of the
card in his window to "52 percent
sympathy" for striking shopmen.
White waited all yesterday for ar
rest on charge of violation of the
picketing clause of the industrial court
law by displaying the strike sympathy
card.
Meanwhile, Kansas hasn been so
worked up over anything since the
Stubs administration slapped Jay Il.
House, Topeka political writer, in Jail
theoretically, for refusing to tell where
he claimed he could buy drink of
liquor in Kansas.

VALLEY DRAINAGE BEGINS IN AUGUST
klanMain Issue in
Texas Primary

DALLAS, Tex, July 22.-Bereft of
the generation-old cause of political
-prohibition-Texas is taking its
campaign stimulants from the Ku KluX
Klan and anti Klan bottle with farm
labor coalition chaser.
The issue will be partially settled at
today s first 1922 Democratic primary.
The lines have been closely drawn on
this issue in the senatorial campaign,
where Six candidates are in the field.
The two candidates receiving the high
est number of votes will enter the run
off primary, two weeks hence, unless
the unexpected happens and one candi-
date records majority of votes. AS
the senatorial race is about evenly di-
vided between prO-Klan and anti-Klan,
the second primary will doubtless find
this question the sole battle-cry.
In the gubernatOrial race, where four
names will appear on the ballot, the
Klan does not seem to be so important
a factor. Governor Neff is out for re-
election and seldom, if ever, has a can
didate for second term received SER
ious opposition and never has one been
defeated under the primary law.
Six candidates, including the vener-
able senator himself, are seeking the
toga of Charles A. Culberson, which he
has held for many years.
Senator Culberson announced early in
his campaign that he was unalterably
opposed to the Klan
Former Congressman Robert l.. Hen.
ry, of Waco, declared he was a mem
Der of the organization and has solicit
ed votes on that basis.
Cullen F. Thomas, Dallas, lawyer,
said "the Klan must die or else be re-
organized along different lines
Earle b. Mayfield, Meridian, member
of the Texas Railway Commission,
though remaining silent on the Klan
issue, has been recognized as one of the
adherents to its principles and has
pleaded for 100 percent American
ism, = from the stamp throughout his
campaign.
Clarence Ousley, former assistant sec
retary of agriculture, has opposed the
Khan.
Former Governor James E. Ferguson,
who was impeached, is the remaining
candidate. He has strongly opposed the
Klan and openly stated he expected to
receive the votes of the Catholics and
Jews.

PRESS OFFERS CUP
FOR AUTO WINNER
in San DIEGO RUN

Believing that the economy run
to be staged by the Auto Dealers
Association of San Diego from that
city to Ell Centre on August will
afford considerable favorable pub
licity for Ell Centre and Imperial
valley, and wishing to boost any
undertaking that is intended for
the welfare of the valley, the I'm
perial Valley Press has donated
cup to be offered as a prize for
one of the four classes of cars
entered in the run.
The Ell Centre chamber Of COM
merce has also offered a cup for
the same run.
The particular classes to COM
pete for the cups will be determin-
ed by the committe in charge of
the run. The four classes are CON-
posed Of cars costing $500 and less,
$500 to $500, $500 to S25OO, and
cars over $25OO, all governed by
weight and running rules.
The trip from San Diego to Ell
Centre and return must be made in
IL hours in order to qualify. In
addition to prize for the car
making the best record in each
class, cup will be given to the
car making the best run of all
classes.
1.-THE object Of the run is not
only to determine which car can
make the most economical run, but
also to prove to the public at large,
and tourists from the east ii par
ticular, that the route to Sam
Diego via FL Centre, is the best
one for them to take, and that there
are good roads all the way through.
This information will be circulat-
ed all over the country by the
auto dealers association, which
plans to publish the results of the
run in all automobile trade pap
ers,'' says L. 3. Howey of the
Oldsmobile agency here. 1T is
hoped the run can be made an an
nual affair."

PAYS $4,000 FOR :
MESQUITE ORANGES

SANTA ANA Calf, July 22.-Los-
ing $4,000 cold cash, finding oranges
tied on mesquite bushes instead of
orange groves, and meeting one s sister
for the first time in years, is the story
of Mrs. George Ludlow of Medicine
Hat, Canada.
Several months ago, while living at
Valcarres, Canada, Mrs. Ludlow pur-
chased what was represented to be a
10 acre orange grove in Texas, near
Donna on the Mexican border.
About month ago Mrs. Ludlow
started out to look up her $4,000 worth
of land and oranges, but when she got
there she found nothing but mesquite
bushes, to whose scraggly branches
were tied measley little dried up
oranges.
Mrs. Ludlow SAYS the land is too far
from a railroad at present to make it
of any value for farming. She declar-
ed that many of her friends were
fleeced by the scheme
She Immediately came to Santa Ana,
where she is visiting her sister, Mrs.
George McPhee. The ease has been re-
rorted to the postoffice authorities, who
are conducting an investigation with
view to prosecution for swindling by
using the mails.

NEW YORK, July 22.-While the
iangle and crash of Allan A. Ryan 8
fortune still woke the echoes of Wall
Street and the same sounds were Icing
heard less distinctly in the bright light
and luxury belts of Broadway ara Tifth
avenue, the second guessers in clubs
and brokers rooms of New York were
saying Ryan got fresh and the pow
ers nailed him..
For Ryan 8 defiance of the stock ex-
change governors ana his consequent
expulsion were long regarded as Incl
dents which could portend nothing but
disaster for the most spectacular sop
orator. in the current history of the
"street.'
From Millions &c Small Change
Ryan defied the stock exchange and
finally ruin came down with the crash
of a cook stove on concrete court way.
A millionaire 30 times over but short
time since, he now lists his cash assets
in the bankruptcy proceedings at just
SIG, which was even small change in
the vest pocket of thei Allan Ryan
whom Wall street looked upon with
strange misgivings when he was run
ming Stutz from $50 to nearly $500 q
share.
Prior to the birth of "war baby
stocks, Ryan wa sregarded as a shrewd,
conservative worker. His father be-
fore him, Old Thomas Fortune Ryan,
was one of the very 'Rowers" himself
and to him his own son 8 irreverence
for the governors must have been a
scandalous thing had he lived to wit
ness the episode.
WAR Babies Started Him Wrong
Old Thomas Fortune Ryan was not
above turning spectacular coup, but
his operations were turns of financial
strategy, not like Young Aliens feat
with the Stutz Motors stock, achieved
by main force.
Allen IS conservatism sloughed away
when he begdn to make his fortune in
"war babies, yet he was either con
sistently lucky or consistently sagaci-
Gus for he steadily made money in large
amounts.
Ryan had a large number of "short
sellers when he turned his attention
to Stutz. He obtained control of all
the outstanding issue and it ehanced
that some powerful exchange interests
were on the short side of the market.
He was threatened with financial doom,
it was said and he defied them all and
forced some of the shorts to settle at
$3.50 n share.
Owes for Wifes Clothing
Then Stutz was thrown off the ex-
change and Ryan, with much of his
fortune tied up in it, had no medium
through which to dispose of his hold
ings. Suddenly the paper of his other
industrial interest became unwelcome
at the banks.
Now Ryan is a personal bankrupt by
his own petition, listing liabilities for
such things as theater tickets and his
wife s clothing
Failure of Ryan does not involve his
brokerage houses and other interests, it
was learned.

Betsy, four-year offspring of Il

As the pig grew up, it's foster
mother took it on hunting expeditions.
Gibson was amazed to see the pig do
its best to initiate its fostermother
