SOON BE GOING
TO Los ANGELES
Council Considers Ordi-
nance to Make Ship
Possible

Imperial Valley dairymen may be
permitted to ship milk to Los An
geles if citr ordinance now under
consideration there is favorabiy act
ed upon. The ordinance would null
lifv the state law which requires
that all cows must be MIXED in
barns If the milk is to be shipped.
Because of the heat in the Imper-
ial Valley, very few dairymcn do
their milking in barns and i'll conse-
quence there has been no shipment
of milk to the coast cities permit
ted.
The proposed ordinance which
would permit Imperial Valley milk
to be shipped TO Los Angeles was
laid before the city council there
today, according to information
there. In presenting the ordinance
Councilman Criswell urged that the
sanitation and health committee
take the matter under advisement.

CORN MORE PLENTIFUL

Minnesota Metropolis Has Become A Corn Market second Only to

By The Associated Press.
 Minneapolis Jan. 24.--For years recognized as prime wheat trading center, Minneapolis of late has risen perceptiby as cash corn market, second only to Chicago.
 To support this conclusion, figures show that since the new crop began to move, Minneapolis receipts of corn have been surpassed only by Chicago. the leading corn bartering place, with some days little disparity in arrivals at either city being noted.
 Grain dealers here are of the opin- ion that the increased corn acreage in the northwest, especially in Minneso- ta, and yields which have demonstrat- ed that corn will thrive in this sec tion, have been contributing factors in the development of Minnepalois as d corn market Favorable weather for curing. husking and marketing. it was added, also helped the northwest market.
 Receipts of corn since the crop movement started this year are more than double those of the correspond ing period a year ago, figures disclose, further emphasizing the progress of corn asa leading grain here.
 Eastern houses, on account of the excellent quality of the corn arriving here, have come to Minneapolis for filling their export orders even after the close of navigation. because of the How moisture" and excellent quality corn available here.

 Mrs. ron Oheimb, who is young and attractive and always immediately goWned, replied to the attack by say ing: T beg to inform you herewith that I, according to the new mode, do not wear a petticoat."
 Mrs. von Oheimb maintains a large salon in Berlin where she entertains politicians of all parties. Many i'm portant political decisions are made at her dinners. Her great influence in political circles has been described as due mainly to her courage and in- tegrity.

Declares Movies Harmful
 To the Younger Children

Stockholm, Jan. 25.-Studying the effects of moving pictures upon the young, particularly under ten years of age. Dr. David Lund, of the prisons board. has reached amonf others the following conclusions:
 That the average movie drama is harmful tc the young child. They cannot distinguish between fact and fancy on the screen. Their imagina- tons are confused, and they are like ly to mistake falsehood for truth. The distintion of reality and the fre- auent discrepancy between cause and effect tend to warp the child's reasoning power, and the spurious emotions in the average photoplay are disturbing to the soul life of the child.
 Dr. Lund approves of educational films, however, and believes, also, that many of the fairy tale films are valu- able for children.

WYOMING RANCHER FINDS
 BEAUTIES OF HIS HOME
Sight of Picture Awakens Native Bowman to Advantage Of His
 Land and Fields

Chicago, Jan. 25.--Not until the picture of his product stood before him done on canvas in all the color of its native surroundings, was a veteran cowman and ranches of Wyoming brought to appreciate the beauty of the home and soil which nursed his industry.
 For years this rancher had come to Chicago, usually with carloads of cattle for market. The stock yards he understood, but not the large building on Michigan avenue guarded by huge bronze lions. He learned it was the Chicago Art Institute and. it being a free day with time hanging heavy upon him, he entered. He came upon a painting of a COW and was amazed at the wonderful likeness. It touched ground upon which he was familiar, and he inquired for the galleries having paintings of ranch and farm themes.
 When this rancher went back home he began to perceive interesting things about him that he had never noticed before. There was color in everything. The alfalfa patch of blue green, the golden yellow of the straw stubble, the tender green of young oats, the shifting light of cloud shadows on the meadows, the bristling coats of his animals. all be- gan to reveal their beauty to him. Most of his idle time in Chicago now is spent in the Institutes atmos- phere.
 This is one of many stories told by officials of the institution who have watched the effect of it's exhibits. In recent years these instances have grown in number, they say. which leads them to believe there is an

MILLIONAIRE WOULD
 FINANCE COLLEGE.
Samuel BoSel, Richest Man in AustriaA Would Back University

Vienna, Jan. 25.-Commonly reput- cd to be the richest man in Austria, Samuel Bosel has offered to finance the University of Vienna until condi- tions permit it to balance its affairs. It is estimated the initial phases of his undertaking will amount to S2,- 900, 900 a year. yet up to 1915 Bosel was selling haberdashery as a clerk in a small shop on the Quay.
 His rise illustrates the paradoxical conditions that have prevailed in this country since the war. On the one hand has been a bankrupt govern ment, the mass of the people in want up to recent months, and aid of every kind pouring in from other lands. On the other there have been accumulat- cd fortunes vast even in America, and Bosel is said to lead them.
 In 1915 he got into the war supply contract game and when the armistice came he was said to be the king of army contractors, holding a monopo- ly in certain branches of supplies. After the war he entered finance and is now one of Austria's greatest bank CTS.
 Recently he bought the parked tri- angle adjoining the Balplatz, or for eign office, which visitors will recall as affording the much painted view of the famous Minoreten church. The price he paid the government is not stated but it Is probably the most val uable plot fin the city. On it he will build a magnificent residence and has also offered to build for the govern ment a hall Of archieves.
 His offer to finance the university, however. has caused some political agitation, for Bosel is a Jew. and the reactionary press pretends to see in 1t plan to defeat the anti-Jew agitation on the part of the Christian student
