CARS DAMAGED IN
SHECKLER ACCIDENT

Elwood Luce and Tommy Byers
were both victims of an unfortunate
accident last Saturday night, when
as they were about to pass with
their cars In opposite directions a
third car which had been tagging
behind Byers' car for mile or more
undertook to cut In between the
other two. The road not being wide
enough for three cars side by side,
all three cars sustained injuries,
Luce's car to the extent that 1t had
to be towed into town.
Byers was on his way to Sheckler
to attend the Democratic rally. while
Luce was headed for town, both cars
driving at a moderate rate of speed.
Byers had given the car behind ev-
cry opportunity to pass, and why
they undertook to speed up and pass
at this point is not definitely known.
After the accident a fourth car
drove up, one of whose occupants
made manifest his desire to enter
the argument by going up to Luce
and striking him without any pro-
vocation 1t is not known just what
action Luce will take in the latter
case. The damage to his car is be-
ing made good.

OAKLAND CREAMERY MAN
PRAISES DAIRY INDUSTRY

c. c. Day, representative of the
East Bay Creamery Company of
Oakland, Calf, has been in this val
ley for the past week interviewing
dairymen and making arrangements
for the purchase of cream by his
firm. Mr.. Day was shown around
the valley by A. F. Branch and was
impressed with the optimistic atti-
tude which is manifested by the
dairymen, nearly all of whom are
planning to increase their herds and
improve equipment, buildings, etc.
He states that the dairy industry
in the Bay region has developed to
just about its fullest extent, the
high price of land and feed prevent
ing further expansion. The advan-
tages which the Lahontan valley has
to offer in this respect he thinks
should be tremendous inducement
in getting California dairymen to To-
cate here. Mr.. Day says that there
is no doubt that the dairy industry
here will see a wonderful growth in
the near future and that more
creameries should be established as
production increases.

A REVOLVING FUND FOR
FARMERS

Secretary Hoover of the Com
merce Department and Secretary
Wallace of the Agricultural Depart
ment believe that the time of stress
for farmers has passed. In their
opinion there is no need for an ap-
preparation of s50,000,000 by Con-
gress to help out the farmers"
These two eminent experts in agri-
cultural conditions look with favor
on a bill that will be presented to
the next Congress by Senator Nc
Nary of Oregon, that will provide a
revolving fund of $12, ,000-$1,-
600, 900 for each federal reserve dis
trict The purpose of the bill seeks
to make the above total sum avail
able for short-time loans to farmers
on warehouse certificates and SINH
lar securities. The successful meth
ods that have provided an elastic
credit, in the operation of the feder-
al reserve act, are sought to be ap-
piled to the new legislation. Vary
ing seasons and crop periods in diff
ferent parts of the country make it
possible, it is thought, to chase the
twelve millions from one part of the
United States to another, so that
each farm section may have temper
airy benefits from 1t. OF course this
bill does not contemplate supplying
any of the demands for mortgage
and other longtime forms of credits
That is quite a different matter.
There are more political farm
ers" in Washington than most any
other class of advisors. These many
representatives of the agricultural
interests Justify their activities or
the ground that the farmers more
than any one class of our citizens
have suffered from the disturbed in
dustrial and financial conditions OF
the country. One hears very little
about the farm bloc" nowadays
but the men in the two branches Of
Congress who composed 1t are moi
at all backward in answering ques
tions considering 1t and concerning
the claim that they got all thel
went after"

BRITISH BOOZE

Secretary of State Hughes recent
ly asked His Majesty's government
at London to negotiate new treaty
with the United States permitting
the authorities of each government
to search vessels Of the other up to
distance of twelve miles from the
shore. The purpose of the sugges-
ton was to prevent the smuggling
of British booze. Britain declined
the proposal and held out the en-
couragement in a note to our Secre-
tary of State that the smuggling OF
liquor is only temporary, and a con-
dition (which will no doubt be sup
pressed by the United States author
tiles within the not distant future"
II Is explained in Washington that
British diplomacy is hard-boiled
against joking, and therefore we
must take King Georges govern
ment seriously in its prophecies re-
garding the mot distant future"
