Cotton Moving
4 Weeks Early

Cotton is moving from four to
five weeks earlier this season that
usual stated G. w. Runge of the
Southern Pacific today in discuss
ing this years crop of that COM
modify. Mr.. Runge then went on
to say that the present break in
the wea:aer would undoubtedly
make the cotton move fast, as much
picking would be started at once.
Imperial Valley cotton is distrib-
utcd u pretty long distance around
the world, according to the local
transportation man. From Liver
pool, England, to Japan it is sent.
JAPAN, however. is erratic about her
demand, and will take a large guam
tity one season, and then nothing
or year or two. Mr.. Runge
thinks il extremely doubtful, con
sidering the recent catastrophe If
the japanese place any heavy or
ders for this season s crop.
Like all other who are well yer
sed, in the tcotton situation tins
wear, Mr.. Runge seems optimistic
pbout the market results.

ZsABSON TELLS POSSIBILITIES
OF ANOTHER EUROPEAN WAR
AND EFFECT ON THIS COUNTRY

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
Sept IT, What would a new Eur
oean war do to business9'' The
session was put to Roger w. Bah,
as he was reading mass of
e9rams and cables coming in
flsna all parts of the world. asking
Hhat effect another European war
would 9llavp on business.
cit seems inconeeivable that
Europe VIII permit herself to get en-
tangled IN another war at this
time,'' he replied. Yet condi-
tions are far more favorable for a
conflict today than they were in
1914. Moreover, the wisest students
of international affairs have been
predicting for some time that an.
il will again begin in the Balkans.
Doubtless the Greeks killed the
Italian Commission in cold blood
Probably it was no accident
Greece feels very bitter toward the
rest of Europe. The Greeks be,
fcvcd that they were great factor
in helping the Allies whip Germany
and that the Allies later double
crossed Greece in favor of Turkey
because Turkey has oil and Greece
lIas no oiit The Greeks felt that
there is nothing more they could
lose and that perhaps they might
rain back something out of another
trnggle-at least they would have
leir revenge. This was the situ-
'on. Italy's self respect com
led her to take some action, but
hope this affair will quickly be
tiled and forgotten.
How much further trouble will
leveiop, only time can tell. The
trouble between Italy and Greece is
not the only European tangle which
must be Strengthened out. If an
other real war should soon develop,
il now looks as if Germany would
lina mp with Greece and Russia, and
that France would back mp Italy
with the help of Turkey. Were it
not for Egypt and India, England
would keep out of il this time: but
win HtI Sfcdt luttTtSts HI the Fast
no one can predict what England
WI do. 1t looks now as if Germany
might be the real winner in such
a eonflict-at least, it would take
France's mind off Reparations
sor while. and perhaps make the
league of Nations greater force
Tor good. Now that the Allies have
given in TO Turkey and returned to
her so much that they had taken
away, it is a great tewptatia sfe{
one of the ether nassols ike
Russia, Germany, and B,lleafi:t
try the same game.
New War UT.settling
As to the effect on business in
le United States: OF course the
temporary result of another Euro
pes,n War would be upsetting to
,usiness in many lines. Any shock
unsettling and disturbing. This
xplains the action of the commodi-
ty market and the stock market

l.. A. CHAMBER TO
= RAISE $500, 900

Los ANGELES, September 49,
An industrial drive that promises
to be of great benefit to all the
cities and towns & Southern Cali
fornia has just been launched by
the Los Angeles Chamber of Com,
merce.

NEW AUTO LAW
L. A. EFFECTIVE
ONBOULEVARD

FL Centro automobile drivers who
go to Loo Angeles are urged by
Neal II. Gavin, manager of the local
office of the Automobile Club of
Southern California, to familiarize
themselves with the new traffic
regulations in that city which be
came effective September 10, in
order to avoid entanglements with
the law.
OF chief interest is the new reg
ulations applying to Wiltshire Boule-
ward, Figueroa street and Mission
Boulevard, making them through
traffic thoroughfarcs. In other
words, through traffic on these
streets has the right of way, and
vehicles crossing or turning into
them, must come to full stop be
fore they cross.

Valley Boys to
Attend Reunion
of 91st Fighters

Much pep and enthusiasm seems
to be felt among local members of
the American legion who belonged
% the famous 9lst division when
they are questioned about the big
get-together reunion planned for
the evening of September 20, when
the Wild West Division men who
reside in Southern California will
gather in Les Angeles TO celebrate
the anniversary of the lump
off" into the Argonne offensive.
This reunion is an annual affair
and each year the boys of the 9lst
look forward to gathering around
the banquet table to renew the old
friendships and fight the war over
again.
Already several local men have
signified their intention to attend,
and more will doubtless make plans
to do so before the appointed time
arrives. Among those who say they
expect to be there are Pat Than
mum and Hugh Osborn of this city,
Al Erickson of Calipatria, and Jack
Marshall and Joe Halowell of I'm
perial.

AMERECAlNlIE.AT ION
WORK HERE NEW
SCHOOL FEATU R {
Stanford Graduate VIII
Carry On Work Begun
By Club

Among the new branches OF work
which win be featured by the local
high school this. year that will be
of more than usual interest TO the
general public, and especially te the
women of the Ten Thousand Club,
is the AmericauiZatiou work which
is to be carried on among the non
English speaking adults.
This work, which will be in the
nature of continuation Of that so
ably carried on last year by the
Amcricanization committee of the
Woman S Ten Thousand Club under
the Craftsmanship of Mrs. f. ID.
Morgans, will consist of afternoon
and evening classes among the Jap
ancsc and Mexican population, with
other lines of practical training to
follow as the pupils become more
advanced.
Miss Nora Kreps. who comes, from
Palo Alto, Will be the director of
this foreign educational work. Al
though She is a member of the high
school faculty, her work, vii! be
particularly cooperative with the
Ten Thousand Club, which was
largely instrumental in bringing
her here.
From Stanford University
Miss kreps is from Leland Stan
ford Jr. University, and for the
past two years has been carrying on
classes among the foreign popula-
tion at Needles. She is spending
this week getting the work organ
lied, and hopes to begin. holding
classes the first part of next week.
In connection with the beginning
of her work here, Miss Kreps states
that the classes which have been
carried on by the club women have
opened up the field to such an ex-
tent that .her activities can be cir
ricd on much moro efficiently than
would be. possib bic, were the sQblpet
just being INTRODUCED here. Miss
kreps came to the city last june
for Il few days to look over the.
field, and immediately saw it5
possibilities. She is now enthutsis
astic about the work to be done,
and is already Il booster for Imptl5
ial Valley.
Mrs. Il. W. Sears, chaitman of
this years American citizensliin p
committee, today announced tlat
every effort will be made by Aef
committee, as welt us by the club
as a whole, to assist Miss Kreps. /

during the past weeks. For six
months following the declaration of
war July 80, 1914, commodity prices
and stock prices declined, and bus
mess in general was very bad. Re.
fore the close of the year 1914,
however, orders began to come from
Europe in large quantities, our mills
were working full time, and our
wage workers soon again had
money to spend. BY the close of
1915, stocks were high, wholesale
prices were climbing, and the Unit
ed States was becoming very pros
porous.
"But Europe then had money
with which to buy, and fine
credit, - continued Mr.. Babson.
To-day conditions are entirely diff
ferent. Europe now has very little
gold she can send us. We do not
want her securities except at a great
discount. Can she send us goods
with which to pay for our own
goods She can do this during
times of peace, but can she do it
during a time of war, This is the
great question, and only the future
can answer it. If Europe cannot
send us goods to pay for war sup
plies then she cannot send i'll goods
to compete with our own factories.
This would at least relieve some of
the foreign competitive pressure
which threatens us TODAY This es-
pecially applies to the wheat grow
ers of the United States. Another
European war could send the prize
of wheat up to two or three dollars
bushel.
They Need Religion
'.What Europe really needs.
concluded Mr.. Babson, lis some
honest to goodness religion. We
shall see no real and lasting prosper
ity until Europe gets headed in the
right direction. Some real religion
win lead to real League of Ma
tions: and when Such real religion
is evident. Europe will find all
parties in this country ready to help
form such a League. Europe today
is hotbed of jealousy, selfishness,
and political intrigue. Only as the
hearts of both the people and the
leaders of Europe are softened, will
the tangle be Strengthened out. 1t
may take another war with all its
gruesomeness and suffering to bring
Europe TO her knees. We all hope
it will not: but in addition to hop
ing, let us pray-not only for Eur
ope but for ourselves-that we may
.kar}haAest and unselfish, remember
nj aHe haEe responsibilities as
well as opportunities and that no
country can permanently prosper
through the misfortunes of anoth-
