MIDWINTER SHOW
AT BRAWLEY WILL
BE- GREAT AFFAIR

BRAWLEY, Oct. 23.--W. w. Van
Pelt, formerly secretary of the
Southern California fair at River
erside, is making progress in doz-
en- different directions for the fourth
annual midwinter show at Brawley.
He said today that the determine
tion to make the exhibition Just
twice as big as it was last year will
meet with unqualified success and
he has been agreeably surprised at
the hearty and aggressive coopera-
ton he is receiving here.
The show this year will become
more of an entire countrywide af-
fair with the extreme southern part
of Imperial Valley being as strongly
represented in many departments as
Brawley itself. The county farm
bureau will also take a conspicuous
part for the benefit of rural com
munities. Another interesting added
feature is the proposed auto show
which the Imperial County Motor
Dealers association is being asked
to sponsor Poultry, agricultural
and horticultural departments will
be decidedly larger than last year.
The show which is held in De
cember each year is unique in that
fresh fruits and vegetables of the
kind shown cannot be had from any
other section of the United States
at that time.

FRENCH HOPING
LA TOILETTE IS
. NOT A VICTOR
Davis and Coolidge Both
Popular but Dislike
La Toilette
Editors note-Following is a
cable story from a United Press
staff correspondent in Europe
telling of the interest abroad in
the presidential election.

PARIS, Oct. 23-The French at
titude toward the American elec-
tions is-they don Il care who beats
La Toilette,
Aside from open oposition to the
Wisconsin senator, Frenchmen had
taken only moderate interest in the
campaigns in the United States un-
til j. Z. Morgan let it be known to-
day that there was "nothing do
ing' on loan until the result of
the November balloting was
known.
Then interest picked up at once.
There are three reasons why
Frenchmen oppose La Toilette s
election:
l. The Independent candidate is
considered Il leader of the German
element in the United States. His
Germanophile utterances are cited.
2. La Toilette IS attacks >on the
Versailles treaty prejudice the
French against him because the
treaty is regarded here as the
charter Of Frances postwar exist
encc. The Wisconsin senator has
threatened to seek revision Of the
pact.
3. La Toilette S statement that he
would seek immediate payment of
allied debts would be enough to
make him unpopular here.
Don't Want La Toilette
Feeling against La Toilette is
summed up by the Gaulois, which
says:
For our external point of view
let us hope that either Coolidge or
Davis is elected.'
There is no well defined French
preference as between Davis and
the present incumbent. Both have
points which the people here con-
slider in their favor.
Both are believed inclined to be
lenient towards collection of
Frances debt, which is the out
standing point in this country's in
terest toward anything American.
The Democratic nominee IS stand
on the League of Nations and the
tariff is considered more favorable
to France than that Of the Presi-
dent.
At the Quai D'Orsay, however,
pains were taken to stress the fact
that the French government wishes
to be considered entirely neutral.

Aged Couple Dead
In Double Staying
Caused by Money

INGLEWOOD, Cal, Oct. 23.-Ef-
forts were being made today to To-
cate relatives Of Gustave Egli, So
and his wife, Leontine Egli, 70,
the double Staying Of the
two late last night.
The only witness Of the tragedy,
an eight year old adopted son,
brokenly gave Il statement to the
police that Egli shot his wife and
chen turned the gun on himself.
Neighbors stated that both ad-
mitted having children by former
marriages, and 1t is thought that
the shooting was a result of constant
between The Two as to
which of their children should be
favored in their will.
None of the children reside here,
and little is known of the pair
prior to the time they moved here
IL years ago.

CAUSE OF
WOMEN'S ILLS
WOMEN OFTEN THINK THEY
HAVE HEART TROUBLE, IN
DIGESTION, NERVOUS PROS
TRATION, ETC, WHEN IT'S
SIMPLY IRON STARVATION
OF THE BLOOD.

Many women believe they are
weak and nervous as result of
age, worry and overwork; they think
that their disturbed digestion, head
aches, heart palpitation, shortness
of breath, pains across the back,
etc, are due to some serious disease
instead of the real cause-iron star
walton of the blood. This is proven
by the fact that when many of these
same women take organic iron for.
awhile all their alarming symptoms
quickly disappear and they become
strong, robust and healthy. Iron is
absolutely necessary to enable your
blood to change food into living
cells and tissue. Without it nothing
you eat does you the proper amount
of good-you do not get the strength
out of it.
If YOU are not strong and well do
not wait until you go all to pieces
and collapse in a state of nervous
prostration, but take some organic
iron-Nuxated Iron-at once. But
be sure it's organic iron and not
metallic iron which people usually
take and which is made merely by
the action of strong acids on small
pieces of iron. Organic NUXATED
IRON is like the iron in your blood
and like the iron in spinach, lentils
and apples and it often increases
the bodily and mental vigor of
weak, wornout women in two weeks
time.
Beware of substitutes. Look for
the word "NuXated on every
package and the letters N. I. on
every tablet. Your money will be
refunded by the manufacturers if
you do not obtain perfectly salts
factory results. At all, druggists.

Violence Marks
British Election

LONDON, Oct 23. - Razors,
bottles, wrenches and stones figured
in the British election campaign to-
day.
Violence, reminiscent Of the days
of the suffragettes and the Irish

constituencies.
A 22-year old Duwich man was
sent to the hospital in critical
condition with Il razor cash from
mouth to ear, attained in melee
designed to break up "A conservative
meeting. In South London a man
was knocked unconscious with a
bottle and several others were Sc

Mrs.. Quack looked up at Sammy
 sharply. ''Why should go down there?" she asked.
 "If I tell you, will You wait until I get quite through?" asked Sammy in his turn.
 Nothing much. only if I were you l would go down there after dark" re- piled sammy.
 Mrs. Quack promised that she would. "We1l, then" replied Sammy. this afternoon I found a stranger hiding in there a stranger with beautiful green head and neck and a white collar"
 MT. Quack Oh, it was Mir. Quack " cried Mrs. Quack joyfully, and lifted her wings as if she would start for the swamp at once.
 ''Stop!" cried Sammy sharply. You said you would wait until am through. It won't do for you to go there until after dark because there is a hunter hiding very near Mir. Quack's hiding place. Wait until it is dark and he has gone home. Then take my advice and when you have found Mir. Quack bring him right up here to the Smiling Pool. He can't fly. but he can swim up the Laughing Brook, and this is the safest place for both of you. Now good night and good luck" With this Sammy spread his blue wings and started for home.

Quack was alive that he capered about in quite the craziest way. Does Mrs. Quack know yet?' asked Peter.
 Sammy shook his head. "I'm going to tell her when she comes back here tonight" he explained. q was afraid if told her before then that she would fly straight to him and perhaps get both of them in trouble."
 Quite right. sammy. Quite right {" Peter exclaimed. "I wouldn't have thought of that. My. won't she be happy when you do tell her! I won der what she'll say and what she'll do. I'm going to stay right here so as to see her when she hears the good news. Blacky the Crow. Does he know yet?"
 "No!" replied sammy, but I'm go- ing to tell hi mas soon as he gets here.'
 They watched Blacky draw nearer and nearer, and as soon as he was within hearing Sammy shouted the news, Cav cav, caw," replied Blacky, hurrying little faster. As soon as he reached the Big Hickory again, and Blacky was quite as glad Mrs. Quack he told how he had hunted anu huHtcu aiohS thC iHItuCi uuhh VA the Big River and how he had seen the hunters with their terrible guns hiding there and had warned Mir.

In fact, Sammy Jay and Blacky were getting very uneasy. It was al- most bedtime for them, for neither of them dare to stay out after dark. They had almost made mp their minds to leave Peter to tell the news when they saw Mrs. Quack coming swiftly from the direction of the Big River. She looked so sad and discouraged that her, and you know Blacky isn't much given to much feelings.
 Whats the news, Mrs. Quack? ?" asked Peter, his eyes dancing.
 Quack.
 "Oh. yes tbere is." cried Sammy Jay, who could keep stolh nj longer. What is it?' demanded Mrs. Quack, eagerly, and it seemed to Peter that there was wee bit of hope in her voice.

 in Philadelphia, New Years Day, I752, her maiden name was GriscOm. As d girl she was very fond of needle work and embroidery. At the age of 21 she became the bride of John Ross, a young uphOlsterer of Philadelphia, and as. sisted him in his little shop at 239 Arch street. She had been a wife less than three years when her husband was killed. early in 1776, while guard ing some military stores. The young widow continued the business. having become proficient in the upholsterinR craft. Not many months later she re- ceived distinguished visitor at her humble shop in the person of George Washington. who engaged her to make a flag. Washington gave Mistress Betsy pencil drawing. made by him. self, outlining a banner of 12 stripes. with a field dotted with 13 stars. The sample flag made by Mrs. Ross was accepted by Congress. and later she re. ceived contract to make all the flags for the government.
