Tubac, Dec. 14.-Another Cali
tornia Produce firm would like
the farmers of the Tubac Valley
to plant from 100 to 800 acres in
fall lettuce. They will furnish
the seed and all packing material.
Also do all the packing.
Cattle
Big punches of cattle are driv-
en- up and down the river the last

Cotton Pickers

piekers would be making all kinds
Of money. We notice a good
many buying second hand cars to
travel in and others wearing
Knockout clothes. Such is cot
ton pickers' lives.
Don't Have To Pack Water
The miners have it somewhat
easy now. They don'k have to
pack water as there are water
holes all over the mountains. The
rain we had is a God-send to
them.
To The Cotton Gin
Weldon Bailey is still shipping
truck loads of cotton to the glr
down the river. Some cotton fo1

autos ON the bum as there has beer
In the last few days going ant

 Given to Colleges

Bethlehem. Pa. Oct. 6 P-Col- lecos should cease producing gradu- ates at a financial loss which has to be collected from philanthropists, William Carter Dickcrman, vice president of the American Car and Foundry Company, said today at Founder Days exercises at Lehigh University.
 Eventual bankruptcy for those colleges which fail to budget their finances and profit by the example of modern business methods, was pre- dicted by MT. Dickerman.
 The needs of endowed colleges are reaching such staggering figures that they cannot hope to receive dona- tions sufficient to meet them, Mir. Dickerman said: ITO continue to thrive they must take a page from the book of industry, improve the quality of their product and cease producing graduates at loss"

HOME OWNERSHIP
 PATRIOTIC TONIC
Best Cure for BolSheVism, (. K.
 Macauley Says

The man who owns his own home is never d bolshevil, according to George K. Macauley. general man. ager of the Ne~ Britain Lumber Co.,, who told the members of the kiwanis club today that there are enough wooden houses built in the United States each year to house the entire population of greater New York.
 He added that the construction of wooden houses takes only one third of the lumber produced in the coun- try, the rest going into wooden ship ping cases and &other products. Every article exported must be packed in a wooden box and 500 feet of lumber are needed for single automobile, he added.
 He stated that lumber goes through as much process of prcpar- ing for market as steel and sell for only 70 per cent the cost of steel.
 You don't know whether the silk socks you are wearing. were spun by a silk worm in China or made from a spruce plank" ho exclaimed, adding that silk is made from lum- her in America of such quality that it cannot be told from the silkworm variety except by experts.
 If the ciNc clubs of New Britain want to do something lasting for the state they will get together and see that the Connecticut legislature passes a reforestation act and save what is left of the New England forests, he advised. He said many of the forests of New England, even as far as the Maine woods, arc disap- bearing under the woodsman's axe.
 A compulsory program begun now would produce beautiful forests in 30 years and a large source of lum- ber supply in 50 years, he said,
 Artificial roofing has proved a great saving in cost Of house pro- duction and in lowering of fire haz- ards. he explained, and added "OC casionaly some expert on the theory tries to get it sdetracked in favor of some substitute, but this is always traced to'a well laid scheme of prop aganda and similar case is being thrashed out in this city at the pres unt time

RAJP|PLA RATED AS MIDGET STATE
It Is One of Smallest in
 All India

Washington. Oct. [P) - The prospective visit 10 this country of the Maharajah of Rajpipla, who re- gently arrived in London accom- panied by royal white elephant, recalls his soiourn in New York and Washington during the summer of 1922 when he was received at the White House by the late President Harding.
 "Of approximately 500 native states in India, Rajpipla is among the smallest somewhat resembling, in importance, a large county in one of our several states.
 Maharaja jah a Real Potentate
 "Rajpipla is about 200 miles north of the city of Bombay, in the northwestern part of India. The state is slightly larger than Rhode Island and has about two-thirds the population of Providence. The Ma harjah Is king and boasts family supremacy since 147o He is entitled to be addressed His Highness' and to salute of Il guns when ap- preaching any possessions of the British Empire. Except for a Brit ish agent who resides in these In dian states, the Maharajah has un- restricted power over his subjects. His power Is rarely questioned ex- cept when a British subject is in- volved. Through tribute to neighbor- ing states, his domain is protected and protective forces within the borders of Raipipla are apparently unnecessary, considering the size ef it's Army which consists of Ill men.
 Wild Natives Fredominate
 TWO native trbes-the Bhils (bowmen) and the kolis- make up the greater portion of the popula- tion of Rajpipla. The Bhils were once In power In India Under the rule of the Moguls the Bhils were submissive and occupied the low lands but other tribes treated them 90 cruelty that they rebelled and fld 10 the hills from which few of them have returned. They used the bow to defend the mountain fast nesses and repel invaders. In ISIS the British tried to subdue them without success. In 1925, through the use Of milder methods. a Brit ish agency was established in the state.
 Tn many of the central Indian states the princes, on succession, have their foreheads marked with blood from the thumb. or toe of a Bhil. They believe this is mark of Bhil allegiance, but it Is more prob ably a relic of days when the tribe was in power in India.
 "They have binding paths. The | most sacred is that sworn by a dog, | the Bhil praying that the curse of a dog may fall upon him if he breaks his word.
 For centuries Hanuman. the monkey god. has ben the chief di- vinity of these people. Offerings are | also made to the much feared god | dess of smallpox and stone wor- ship is still found among them. ! Many have become Moslems and | 
 Poisonous Kodra ono of Chief Foods !
 Little more than one-third of Raipipla is cultivated. Cotton is the crop while rice and kodra are also largely grown. kodra, a grain grown on the hillsides is one of the chief foods, particularly of the Bhils. Unless washed several lines before consumption, however, 1t is slightly poisonous, causing ,iddiness and faintness.
 Tn the southern portion of the state are teak forests. Bamboo mat ing, baskets, and grind stones are llso produced"
