RIVERSIDE FAIR
TO BE TEEMING
WITH INTE REST

RIVERSIDE. Sept. so. = The
finishing touches are being taken
this week in the big date and
cotton shows at the Southern Cali
fornia Fair at Riverside, which
opens its gates on Tuesday, Octo-
ber and lasts until Saturday night.
This is the first time in the west
real cotton exposition has been
attempted. This industry is ra-
pidly assuming & very important
place, both in point of acreage and
financial importance in California
and Arizona, and deserves atten
tion. Widespread interest is being
taken in the effort of the Southern
California Fair to exploit the meth
od of cotton production and manu-
facture. The United States Depart
mcnt of Agricultural is sending out
from Washington wonderful cNhi-
bit. The California Cordage Com
pany, and the West Coast Textile
Company will each send exhibits
introducing heavy machinery, one
demonstrating modern methods of
spinning. while the other places a
modern loom in operation. Old
style methods of spinning and weav
ing will also be shown.
The date show this year will be
the second attempt of this fall to
depict the rapid growth and devel-
opment of the date industry in this
country. Every phase of date cul-
ture will be carefully and colorfully
shown from the removal of the off
shoot from the parent tree to the
perfect fruit in the commercial
packages. This is one of the most
fruit crops we have and
probably the one about which least
is generally known. The date show
will be elaborately and artistically
decorated and will be a point Of en-
trancing interest at the fair.
The general agricultural show
will be more extensive than usual.
The agricultural activities of cali
fornia from the exhibit from Las
sen County, or the extreme north
TO the date and cotton exhibit from
Imperial County will be most com
The Mexican govern
ment will send a very interesting
display of the agricultural products
If that country, and the state de-
)artment of agriculture is preparing
some educational exhibits showing
he various activities of the de-
partment. The Dairy Products
Show. and the Accredited Hatcheries
will be OF great interest to the gen
aral farmer.

Hog Raisers Are
Due For Profits

BRAWLEY, Sept. 3o.-In the
opinion of B. D. Irvine, Number 5
rancher, who has had considerable
experience with hogs but who is
now producing other lines, the hog
market in Imperial Valley is due
for sharp sudden increase over the
present figures. The fact that a
quarantine has gone on against
Texas and that San Diego packers
were depending on Texas for their
hogs is one of the reasons Irvine
believes there will be better money
for the hog raisers this fall.
Prices prevailing now are around
10 cents, according to local buyers
and a rise of one to three cents is
expected. Unfortunately valley
ranchers are not raising so many
hogs now as they did in former
years.

DEATH OF DAIRY
EXPERT IS GREAT
LOSS TO VALLEY

The sudden death of b. H. Rawl,
former chief of the dairy division,
United States department of agri-
culture, comes as a distinct blow to
dairy interests in Imperial Valley.
Mr.. Rawl, who died in Oakland, on
September %, was particularly well
known here, where he came frequent
ly in his capacity of general man
ager of the Golden State Milk Pro-
duets company, to oversee opera
tions at their local plant here.
1t is to Rawl that Imperial county
owes much for the institution of the
COW testing association which began
here in 1921. At the time of its
institution, Rawi spent ten days in
the valley making speeches on the
advantages of the system and doing
everything within his power to en-
courage the dairy interests here to
use scientific testing methods, which
have since proven 50 beneficial and
profitable.
Rawl's last appearance here in n
public way was during the second
annual dairy day celebration, held
in Ell Centre last January. At that
time he made one of the leading
speeches of the occasion, and took
an active part in the event, which
brought together dairymen from all
over the county.
Rawl was 4S years of age at the
time of his death. He leaves be-
sides his widow, a brother, Edward
II. RawI, vice president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, New
York.
Rawl conceived the idea of the
World s Dairy Congress, which was
held last year in Washington, Phila i
delphia and Syracuse. He was vice
president of the World s Dairy Con-
gress association.
He was an active worker in Cali !
fornia Dairy Council and was a mem
Der of the executive committee of
the Pacific Slope Dairy Show asso-
The funeral was held from st.
Clement s Church, Berkeley, Friday,
%, and the body was
taken by the widow to Virginia for
interment.

Boys With Bikes
You'd Better
Beware!

Some of the small boys around
town are going to be out of luck
if they don't quit chasing off to
fires every time Big Bertha"
blows. Fire Chief ferguson
says so-and he means business.
Monday morning when an alarm
was turned in from Sixth and
Wensley avenues, the nonchal-
ance with which q dozen small
boys on bicycles usurped the
middle of the street in their
haste to get to the scene caused
the firemen no end of trouble.
Besides being mighty dangerous
to life and limb, such actions
delay the, firemen greatly, and
may spell total disaster for some
property owner in case of
serious blaze.
The very next time any boy
Or adult for that matter-rush-
es off to a fire impeding the
progress Of the fire fighters,
he will find himself arrested
and facing a serious charge.
This goes, too, just as forci-
bly, for the adult of the species,
who still insist on rushing off
in their automobiles to hunt
the fire, every time an alarm
sounds.

Third Car Mixed
Up in Smashup

When the accident occurred sun
day afternoon between an antomo-
bile owned by George r. Morrison
;.nd the ear of r. Nakagi, a Japan
csc farmer, on the Calexico road
a third car was mixed up in the ac-
cident. This was the car of Martin
Donald. which was thrown 10 feet
from the paved highway, as Donald
was fixing a tire on II truck.
The force of the impact drove the
car of Nakagi into Donald s car,
smashing a fender. and springing
axle, radiator and lamps, and driN-
ing n piece of wood through n tire
on the car.
Mr.. Donald e0timates the damage
at about 800, which will go to
swell the cost item of the miX-up.

When clean and clear, the intestine
is converting wholesome food into
vigorous health. But when clogged
by constipation, it generates poisons
from the obstructed food that can
lead to many serious diseases.
Kellogg's Bran sweeps, cleans and
purifies the intestine. 1t has a natural,
healthy action. 1t works exactly as
nature acts. If eaten regularly, it
is guaranteed to relieve permanently
the most chronic eases of constipation,
or your grocer viii return your money.
Results with Kellogg's Bran are
sure, for Kellogg's is ALL bran.
Nothing but ALL bran can be 100
per cent effective. That is why
Kellogg s Bran, cooked and krumbled,
is endorsed by doctors everywhere.
Eat it and you ueed never take another
habit-forming drug or pill.

ELATED AT GOOD
DRAINAGE DOES

w. F. Thorne, of the Thorne-
Hill Investment Company, Los An
geles, spent all day yesterday in
Holtville and along the high line
canal. He was particularly desir-
Gus of finding out first hand what
the drainage system is doing for
Imperial Valley and whether the
land reported reclaimed has actual
ly been brought back.
His company has loaned several
million dollars in Imperial Valley
and some of the loans were made on
so-called water logged lands in this
section. His interest is therefore
highly important and his findings
will be worth much to the valley,
because the investigation so far
proved, he said, that the drainage
system has done wonderfully well
and is most successful.
81 inspected one 40 acre farm
that has not been in cultivation for
several years because of lack of
drainage" he declares. cit was on
the McGraw lateral drainage ditch.
1t produced this year 401a bales of
cotton on the first picking and the
stalks are full of blooms and
squares. 1t is q remarkable demon
stration of reclamation. Nor did /
stop with the investigation here. [
went out Fifth street, past the low
line and on up and down the eoun-
try and found hundreds of acres
now producing crops because the
water table has been lowered and
the land is again highly produc-
