with the cloth of gold jacket,
Leni flung herself upon the
bed. She tried to think, but
her problems could not be
reached by thought.
More than anything else on
earth she wanted to hear Lucky
Cavanaugh's voice.
Sitting up in bed she reached
the telephone book for his num-
ber and failed to find it. Then
she did a foolish thing.
She laid her face into the
hollow that his head had left
upon the silken pillow. 1t was
a silly effort and it brought
her no satisfaction at all.
1t is an odd thing about the
way the human mind operates
under heavy pressure of feeling.
1t swings like a pendulum from
one extreme to another.
In her heart, Lucky Cav
anaugh and Herman Gersten-
field were as far apart as east
and west.
Leni picked up the telephone
and called the studio.
There was a subtle change
in the voice Of the operator.
IT don't think Mr.. Gerstenfield
will answer his phone, Miss
LuneSka," said the voice. "He'
gave orders not to be dis
turbed."
"IS a conference going on?"

stepped aside, smiled, took off
his hat. The woman thought
him the incest young man she

"Then there's no reason why
you shouldn't ring him."
But there was a very good
reason and the operator knew
it. Gerstenfield had ordered
everybody out Of his office in

the window had put some sort
of stickum on my particular

that they roll so easily once I
have lost my grip.
BY this time, the man behind
me has pushed up to the win

showing his money past me m
an unpleasant manner. I fran

HAY GROWERS TO TRY OUT PLAN
FOR COOPERATIVE MARKETING

the same as that prevailing in 1882,
which is low prices. The outlook is
poor for some years to come. Bey-
schlag stated, and warned the
growers that they need not enter
cooperative association with the
idea in mind that it would cure all
their ills.
DR.. A. C. Hardison of Ventura
county who grows citrus and wal
nuts stated that all his products
are marketed through cooperative
associations and that he is highly
enthusiastic over them. He stated
that the cooperative gets all that
the market can afford, and that it
results in better distribution, bet
ter sales promotion and standard
ization.
The growers present discussed
possibilities of cooperative market
ing and finally, upon suggestion OF
Assemblyman S. E. Robinson, de-
cided that those having hay for
shipment now market it through
members of the association, max
ing a small beginning in coopera-
tive marketing. Later if it proves
successful, cooperative marketing
on q wider scale will be taken up.

PATHOLOGIST
SAYS CARROTS
SPLENDID FOOD

More concentrated Imperial VAL
ley sunlight is preserved in the To-
cal carrots than in almost any crop,
making them rich in vitamines and
sugar, according to j. B. Norton,
plant pathologist in the agricultur-
al commissioners office who has
just completed series OF expert
mentS.
AS result of these experiments
Norton found that carrot juice
contains 11.2 per cent soluble solids
or sugars, which is much higher
than cantaloupes test, the require
ment for marketing the latter crop
being at present an eight per cent
sugar content
Carrots, Norton declares, mean
ing Imperial Valley carrots, are
almost as rich in sugar content
as sweet potatoes. People prev
iously have thought Of carrots
more as a bulk food than as one
containing real food value. A man
could live on diet OF carrots for
some time SO great are their food
and health properties, their sugar
content making them valuable as
a source of fuel, he says.
The tests were made on both
mature and young carrots and in
each instance the same percentage

derwear, eight towels and four
shirts were stolen from her clothes

Economic outlook for the valley
hay crop and the prospects for CO.
operative marketing were discussed
at a recent meeting of hay
growers held in the Barbara Worth
Grammar school, Brawley, and
sponsored by members of the agri-
cultural extension service.
H. A. Hastain of Brawley, presi-
dent of the Valley Hay Growers
association whose aim is coopera-
tive marketing, discussed the set
up for the organization. He stated
that they hope to secure funds
from the federal intermediate cred
it bank to finance holding the hay
crop in periods when the market
price is low.
Frank Beyschlag, assistant farm
advisor, spoke on the trend of the
hay industry, pointing out that the
acreage in the United States is in
creasing, although rather gradual
ly in this state. The long time out
look is for continued increase since
the vegetable acreage will decrease
and a large part of it be planted
to alfalfa.
Los Angeles Is the most import
ant hay market in the United
States, Beyschlag declared, and is
supplied chiefly by hay from three
sources, the principal one of which
is Imperial Valley, the other two
being Antelope Valley and River
side county.
Imperial Valley is the first dis
trict to ship in the spring, and puts
more hay into the Los Angeles
market in the winter and spring
months than do all the others.
All districts send in heavy ship
ment in the summer months and
Beyschlag, by means of charts, de-
monstrated the definite relation
ship that exists between the
/, amount of hay receipts and prices
Summer prices are 80 per cent of
normal, and winter, 112 per cent,
these figures being based on five
year average.
Local growers, he declared, con-
sequently should ship as much of
their winter holdings and spring
cuttings in January and February
as possible.
Factors influencing the price OF
hay are declared to be first, the
! number of livestock available to be
fed, and estimated in this connec-
ton that as far as dairy cattle are
concerned there will be as many
in 1888 as in the past year. There
will be a marked decrease in the
number of sheep which will be off,
set by the increase in the num-
bers of beef cattle.
Second factor influencing the
price of hay is the price of con-
centrate feed stuffs which compete
with hay, such as the grains. The
outlook at present is for very low
prices for these feed Stuffs. Other
concentrate feed stuffs of high pro-
tein content, such as linseed and
cottonseed face higher prices due
to- decrease in production.
Price outlook for hay for 1888 is

SAFE DRIVERS
LEAGUE NEARS
MILLION MARK

With membership in the Safety
Silvertown League now approach
ing the million mark, the B. F.
Goodrich company organization
throughout the United States is
preparing for a renewed intensive
campaign for members in this ma
tional safety drive, Maurice Graves,
B. F.. Goodrich company dealer at
Safety Corner service station de-
clared today.
Created to enlist motorists in a
campaign for improved highway
safety the Silvertown League has
won support all over the country,
Graves said.
Along with this campaign for
greater safety, the Goodrich COM
pany, in it's new Safety Silver
town, has created the safest tire
ever built, we believe asserted
Graves. "It has been produced to
meet new demands placed on tires
by higher driving speeds, quicker
brake action, oil filmed roads, con-
gested traffic and smaller wheels.
80 impressed was the public
with this new Safety Silvertown
that 25.9 per cent more OF them
were sold in January and Febru-
ary of 1882 than in the same two
months of 1881. The motorist is
becoming increasingly more con-
cerned over safety of himself and
family on the highway. He knows
thta tires are one of the most i'm
portant items designed for his pro-
lection.
In their development of the
new Safety Silvertown the Good
rich company evolved and exper-
imented with 81 different tread
designs before they were satisfied
that the present tread design gives
the maximum in safety as well as
traction requirements. Some OF
these tires we're tested on Good
rich test trucks which operated in
Imperial Valley last year.
Eighteen different types of ex-
perimental tires were actually built
and tested by the Goodrich Sill
yer Fleet in over 1,250,000 miles OF
test driving before the new Safe
ty Silvertown was approved"

of sugar was found. In making
the experiments Norton used first
the outside and then added the
core. finding that there was no
change in sugar content when the
core was added, showing that the
precious vitamineS are found
throughout the vegetable.
Norton claims that the carrots
are delicious raw, in fact, so good
that he had a hard time getting
any for his experiments since var
ious members Of the agricultural
commissioner office would come
III and eat his carrots when he
wasn't looking.
Carrot juice is delectable also
and Norton insists that the best
way Of cooking carrots is to steam
them SO that none of the sugar
is lost.
Carrots are a relatively new
crop to the valley not having been
grown here to any extent until the
last few years. Due to the valleys
winter sunshine they are richer in
sugar than those grown elsewhere.
A number Of variety tests are be-
ing made to determine which kind
will prove best for local condi-
tions. At present the majority of
carrots grown are variations of
the DanVers variety. Under prop
er growing conditions Norton says
that over 500 crates to the acre
may be harvested and as there is
little waste to carrots, they make
an ideal crop.

SAYS BRITAIN
RUINED INDIA

Contrasting India before the days
of the English dominion and after
the British came in control, Hon.
Vithalbhai j. Patel, outstanding
leader of India, charged that Eng
land had ruined India in the ad-'
dress given by him recently in the
Wilson school auditorium.
He declared that prior to the ad-
vent of the English, India was a
peaceful pastoral country, divided
into small hamlets and villages,
each with it's doctor, and its school
teacher. There was little monSv
all exchange being in barter, and
India at that time was a literate
nation.
After the English dominion, the
country was exploited by the Brit
ish for it's gold and other forms
of wealth, he said, its people be-
came practically illiterate He de-
clared that 80 per cent of the
population and 98 per cent of the
women are today illiterate.
Before the English conquest he
said that India exported quantities
OF beautiful yardage and that to-
day, she is forced to import Brit
ish yardage. Bound to the Brit
ish empire for trade she is forced
to import solely from the empire
at far greater cost than she
would have to pay if left free to
trade where she pleased The
speaker stated that if India were
free today the buying power of the
world would be increased. In this
connection he mentioned the Otta-
wa conference stating that India's
five representatives were not chos-
en- by India but appointed by the
British government. He also point
ed out that the average income in
India today is four cents per day.
He spoke greatly in praise of
Mahatma Gandhi and his ability
as leader, saying that India was
opposing only by passive resistance
to England, not violence. In an
swer to questions he made several
rather scathing remarks on Kath-
crime Mayo's Mother India"
Patel was formerly lord mayor
of Bombay, president of the Indian
legislative assembly and is recog-
nized as one of India's leaders to-
day. His lecture was we'll attended
by residents of the community who
were greatly interested in his dis
