FILED
FOR OCTOBER
BY HARR|CAN

According to the monthly report
of B. A. Harrigan, county agricul-
tural commissioner, work on the
camel's thorn eradication project
has been continued throughout the
month. This has mostly been
confined to building up the exist
borders and keeping the infested
areas under water.
GrasShoppers have continued to
damage alfalfa. lettuce and carrot
paintings in the north-end of the
valley. During the month 25 tons
Of poison have been scattered over
infested areas with very satisfac-
tory results. Infestations of these
pests seem to be on the decrease
and probably no more serious dam
age will be caused by them this
season.
Grapefruit picking for the sea-
son started on October Is. Move
ment of fruit to date has been
somewhat later and slower than
previous years due to the late sea-
son. During the month 225 ma
turity tests were made on grape
! fruit. No fruit is shipped until this
test is made and each truck load
of fruit leaving the valley must
carry an inspection ticket from
the agricultural commissioner s
office.
The first carload of peas from
the valley was loaded and ship
ped October 81. The pea acreage
for 1888 is IN excess of 10000 acres

Beware the Cough or Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new medical discovery with two-fold ac- ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed membranes and inhibits germ growth.
 Of all known drugs, creosote is recog- nized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for per sistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains. in addition to creosote, other healing ele- ments which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and in- fammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
 Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any coughor cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking according todirections. Askyour druggist. (Adv.)

 of Musician Husband

Men Are Such Fools" the RKC Radio Picture coming tonight and Wednesday to the Capitol Theatre with Leo Carillo, Vivienne Os- borne, Una Merkel and Joseph Cawthorne featured is the story of man who wrapped his dreams around a woman and nearly for faited his own soul.
 Tony Mello was musician with big ambitions to compose and di- rect a great orchestra. For Lilli too. he had big ambitions. Hel golden voice he himself had train ed and one day her singing and beauty would grace grand opera But Tony loved Lilli-loved hel and trusted her and she was wor- thy of neither!

 In a terrible rage of jealousy over Darrow's affections to Lilli Tony commits a deed that chang es the entire course of his life and, in surroundings strangely incongruous to inspirations of beauty, he composes great music. The genius that Lilli had nearly killed comes to life behind the bars of prison!
 Written especially for the great talents and charming personality of Leo Carrillo, Men Are Such Fools" also provides good roles for in addition to the featured cast, Tom Moore, Earl Foxe, Paul Hurst, Albert Cont and others. William Nigh directed.
