u. OF c. PLANS BIG
FAIR EXHIBIT

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 30-The ag-
ricultural division of the University
Of California is now installing large
and comprehensive exhibit at the State
Fair which will be held here Sept. 2
10. The exhibit will be representative
of the work of the two university
branches located at Berkeley and Da-
Wis, and is under the direction of w.
j. Norton.
Improved quality agriculture is the
theme of the entire exhibit and each
of the seventeen divisions represent
ed will lay special stress on quality pro-
duction.
Te dairy division will show the i'm
provements in the quality of dairy pro-
duets by actual comparison with the
methods used so years ago. For this
purpose the entire state was combed
for ancient dairy equipment, with the
result that sufficient antique equip
ment was unearthed, some in actual
operation, to make an interesting dis
play of dairy progress.
The division of grains, will show
the improved quality of grains and seed
selection and from the laboratory at
Berkeley will come an exhibit of man
ufactured fruit products, such as jams,
iellies, marmalades, grape juices, etc.
Fifty six scarce varieties of grapes
will be brought from the college vine
yards and the plant pathology depart
ment will show the effects of "Brown
rot" on the production of fruit trees,
give talks on farm management, make
a display of model farms on large
and small scale, and demonstrate the
necessity of diversified agriculture OF
the average California farm.
Another feature of the exhibit will
be a showing of improved packs of
fruit and care of orchards, the feed
ing value of rice to livestock, and the
improved quality of products from the
land settlement colonies located at Del
hi and Durham. A variety of California
soils will be shown and the latest meth
DDS of irrigation demonstrated.
A special barn on. the grounds has
been engaged for the animal display
where the improvements III the quality
of livestock will be exhibited, and short
talks given by the University veterin-
aries on ways to produce better amin
ais under the proper medical attention
r. f. Hunt, Dean of the agricultural
college at Davis, and his assistant, r.
Voorhics, will instruct in the farmer s
short courses during the progress Of the
fair.
According to Norton the entire dis
p1av will be made most complete and
attractive a to the visitor, with color
scheme of blue and gold featured
through0ut.

SULPHUR IS BEST TO
CLEAR Up UGLY SKIN
Irritation and Breaking Out Often
Healed Over Night, Says
Skin Specialist

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome quick
est by applying Mentho- Sulphur, says
noted skin specialist. Because of its
germ destroying properties, nothing has
ever been found to take the place of
this sulphur preparation that instantly
brings ease from the itching, burning
and irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right
up, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the torment
or Disagreement. A little jar of Rowles
Mentho-Sulphur may be obtained at
any drug store. 1t is used like cold
cream.

IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

With roads ranging from pavement to
crushed and volcanic rock to sand and
loan, the Inland Empire requires anexcep-
tonal tire. 1t must withstand the demands
of greatly varying conditions. 100
The tread of a tire, to be successful in
this territory, must be tough SO it win not
wear prematurely yet SO soft that twill not
"cut" or "chip"-a rare combination.
The side walls must be thick and of dur
able rubber stock to ride in ruts- where
need be.
The carcass must be unusually strong to
stand up under the bruises of mountain
roads. E %
These and other essential qualifications
for the rendering of satisfactory tire service
in your territory have been Incorporated
into the Savage Cord. That we have sue
cessfully overcome local road conditions
with our tire is evidenced from the highly
consistent and satisfactory service Savage
Tires giving in this and tributary

PROHIBITION HITS
VIRGIN ISLANDERS
Delegation Complains That It
Cuts Revenue and Kills
Bay Rum Trade.
BY international News Service.

Prohibition is all right II II only
prohibits what is intended in the
Volstead law, but when It cuts into
the income of a people and drives
away ships which otherwise would
stop over a while and permit the
sailors to spend some money in
their natural care-free abandon. then
prohibition should be prohibited.
That was the complaint registered
at the White House yesterday by a
delegation from the Virgin Islands
who came here for the express plIr.
pose OF convincing President liar.
ding that the establishment OF the
three-mile limit on the islands will
ultimately cause the natives con.
plete bankruptcy.
The delegation said the prohibi.
ton officer at Porto Rico had ex
tended his Jurisdiction to the Virgin
Islands, issuing orders that foreign
ships carrying liquor could not enter
the harbor OF St. Thomas. This
edict, the delegates complained, also
regulated the shipment OF bay rum
from the islands, the greatest indus
try there.
The Navy and State Departments
both refused to admit they have ad
ministrative Jurisdiction over the
islands. and the delegation is search
ing diligently for the governmental
agency which Is in immediate control
Of the Virgin Islands. The islands
are at present governed by an
American admiral.

BLACK MOSQUITOES
ASSA|L MANHATTAN
Screens Fail to Bar Small Pest
With Dark Body and
Vicious Bite.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Dr. Frank
j. Monaghan, acting health com
missioner, has discovered that Man.
haitian is sorely afflicted by a pecu-
liarly diminutive mosquito. dark in
complexion and vicious in nature.
Porch screens and mosquito bars
avail not, for the black mite knows
how to insinuate himself through the
smallest apertures. Eugene Win
ship, mosquito sharp of the health
department, who apparently lives in
Harlem, says that by dark nowadays
II ic no longer possible to be lulled TO
sleep by the neighborhood victrolas
because the curses and groans of the
anguished citizenry overwhelm all
lesser clamor.
"The present pest" Mr.. Winship
says, "is known as the household
mosquito. 1t is a kind Of flapper'
and cake eater mosquito. Scien.
tifically, we call It Culex pipicns,
and, believe me, II has a pippin Of a
bite, 1t breeds around dwelling
houses in flower pots, urns, tin cans
and bottles that have been discarded
or left to stand and become half
filled with water. One bottle or can
will incubate enough to punch holes
in every inhabitant of Manhattan,
at least one hole to an inhabitant.
Cunning? You wouldn't believe 1t.
Finding that it could not penetrat te
wire screens without folding it's wings
and trailing its legs behind It slightly,
II has done that very thing-an ex.
ample OF thinking power which,
submit, Is seldom found in Congress. /"
The health department has ap-
pealed to the public to empty all
possible breeding places and go to a
little trouble for once for the com.
munity's good.

RAINS KILL MANY
NEW ENGLAND BIRDS
Heavy Downpours Drown the
Young Songsters by Thou
sands in Their Nests.

BOSTON, July 22.-The long and
heavy rains in New England this
year have resulted in tremendous
loss of bird life, according to State
Ornithologist Edward II. Forbush.
The rains have been more severe
Down East" than in Massachusetts,,
and reports to Prof. Forbush re.
late that In places in Maine at least
two wheelbarrow loads Of dead chin
ney swallows have been taken from
single long chimneys.
The catastrophe to the chimney
swallows, or chimney swifts, was di.
rectly due to the heavy rains. which
drove to the ground the insects on
which these birds feed, causing the
birds to starve to death. These birds
catch their prey on the wing and
cannot subsist otherwise.
Prof Forbush said most of the
loss Of life, however, was among the
birds which nest on the ground, or
make their nests low In bushes or on
banks Of streams. Either the nests
have been swept away by the tor.
rents and floods, or the young birds
have been drowned in their nests.
In Eastern Maine and in Massa.
chusetts. Rhode Island and Connec.
ticut, there has been great destruc.
ton of red-winged black birds
wrens. swamp sparrows and song
sparrows. Some birds which never
raise more than one brood year
are already flocking for their return
tip to the South, though this is un.
usually early.
A similar catastrophe occurred in
this district in 1909, when there was
an abundance Of rain, together with
cold weather.
