War on the national flower and en-

that country. The thistle has been so
prolific this year that it is becoming
menace to farmers, especially along
the border. Small prizes were offered
to school children who brought in the
largest number of thistles, and one girl
gathered 5000 plants.

CONSTIPATION
Since BIRTH OF
my FIRST Child"
Then Mrs. King Discovered
ALL-BRAN

We quote from her voluntary
letter:
"I have suffered from terrible
constipation since the birth of my
first child % years ago! have
tried everything and nothing had
any lasting results. Very reluc-
tantly tried your ALL BRAN with
no faith in it at all. Much to my
surprise, l have not had to take
any medicine since starting to use
ALL-BRAN, months ago. Mrs.
Doris Eyre King, 16 Abbey Road,
Oxford, England.
Laboratory tests show ALL-BRAN
contains two things which OVER
come constipation: "Bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines; vitamin B to
help tone the intestinal tract.
The s'bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of leafy vegetables. In
side the body, it forms a soft mass,
which gently clears the intestines
of wastes, "
Certainly this is more natural
than taking patent medicines =
often harmful. Two tablespoonfuls
daily are usually sufficient. If not
relieved this way, see your doctor.

the blood. At all grocers. In the
red-and-green package. Made BY

New York Stocks
BY ELMER C. WALLER

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Liquida-
ton caused by the tense European
political situation brought rout to
stock market prices today.
From a dull and lower start, the
market suddenly felt effects of some
trading from foreign accounts
which desired to transform share
holdings into cash. Meanwhile for
eign currencies had started falling,
bringing about a relative increase
in the dollar. Trading picked up.
Toward the close another heavy
wave of liquidation hit the market,
smashing prices to new lows for the
Gay.
There was a slight firming ten
dency near the close but leaders
still were far below Saturdays close
with U. S. Steel under 40 for the
first time in several months.
Grains broke with stocks, wheat
selling off the limit. Cotton drop
ped about 81 bale to the lowest
price since August 16. Other COM
modities were weak.
RumorS in Wall street were many
The sudden drop in value of the
French franc, both in relation to
the dollar and the British pound
sterling, brought about again the
cry that France would leave the
geld standard shortly.
So far as domestic conditions were
concerned, business reports were
better today. American Telephone
and E. l. Dupont De Nemours both
reported increase earnings for the
last quarter, but they were not of
sufficient strength to conteract the
heavy liquidation which came from
all quarters.
Stock sales today approximated
2,67C,0OG shares, as against 1,z73,00
shares on Friday. 1t was the largest
trading day since September %
Curb sales totaled 250,000 shares as
against $4,000 shares on Friday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
showed industrial 9049, off $40
railroad 3734, off 2.78, and utility
2474, off LAO.

Jail Sentence
Not Mandatory

R. D. Mercereau, rancher in the
Holtville district, is not facing a
mandatory Jail sentence of 80 days
for cruelty to animals.
This information developed today
when The Press, at the request of
several of Mercereau S friends, in
quired of Judge S. M. Smyser, be-
fore whom Mercereau case was
heard, the details of the judgment.
Judge SmySer advised that the
court imposed a fine of $25, execu-
tion of which was suspended for
10 days and 80 day Jail sentence,
execution being suspended for 80
days and to be served only if Mer-
cereau during that time failed to
correct conditions which led to the
charge against him.
w. v. Truitt, county humane Of
ficer, who brought the charge, in
formed The Press today that at
the time sentence was imposed he
understood the Jail sentence was
mandatory He so stated the judg-
ment to The Press following hear
ing Of the case.
Mercereau, who has lived in the
Holtville section many years, has
borne an excellent reputation. The
Press regrets any injustice done
him because this paper report of
the court s judgment apparently
became garbled between the court
and this office.

POLICE WATCH
|. A. STRIKE

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16. U.P) =
Police today patrolled south Broad
way, where numerous garment
shops are located, following alleged
threats of striking garment work
ers to prevent strike breakers from
leaving factories at the close of
their days work.
More than a score of extra police
were on duty.
A disturbance which resulted
when strikers were alleged to have
attempted to prevent workers from
entering building was quelled
quickly. Two women and a man,
said by police to have been union
pickets, were arrested on charges of
disturbing the peace.
Five thousand members of the
international Ladies Garment
Workers union are out on the
strike, called because employers al
legedly refused to recognize the
organization.

compromise of union and manufac-
turers agreements submitted to
him as posSibel solutions of the

FLAX GROWERS PRESENT At
DEMONSTRATION Of SEEDING

Some 70 flax growers met at the
Meloland experiment station Sat
urday morning to see a flax plant
ing demonstration arranged by Wal
do w. Weeth, director.
Ground of a suitable stage of
moisture was disked before the eyes
of the spectators, the disker being
followed by a spike-tooth harrow.
This treatment worked up the
ground to a desirable consistency for
the flax seed bed. The disking was
done parallel to the irrigation bor-
ders.
The single disc drill, adjusted to
put down 40 pounds of Punjab flax
seed to the acre, was then used to
plant the flax, the rows of which
were laid down at right angles to
the irrigation check borders. Seeds
were planted 2 to 21a inches deep.
After planting Weeth showed the
use of several types Of drag to tamp
the ground to prevent excess eva
poration. The most successful drag,
it was decided. was a couple of 2x12
planks bolted together.
L. C. Barlow. president of the Pa
cific Nut Oil company of Los Ange-
les, was present and demonstrated
fine plaster board made from flax
straw. This board is the most ex-
pensive and the best of plaster ba-
ses now on the market he said, and
it will afford a possible outlet for
Imperial Valley flax straw.
Barlow hopes to handle a large
part of the crop to be produced in
the valley and he stated he will of =
fer local growers contracts based on
the Minneapolis price quotations al
the time of delivery.
Price Going Up
Present price of Sl.79 a pound for
flax seed is low. according to Bar
low, who anticipates a rise to S2.25
pound by spring. This price in
crease will be due, he said to a
world flax seed shortage, as crops
in Argentine, Canada, United States
and India are unusually light. This
fact, together with the increased
demand for paint, due to the gov
ernment building program, will
greatly enchance the value of the
forthcoming crop.
A large consignment of Punjat
flax seed Of good quality is on the
way here from India and the shir

last year. Price comparisons: In
September, 1882, farmers received
an average of To cents a pound for
cotton; in September, 1898, they re-
ceived an average of 8.8 cents.
Hogs benefit payments totaled
S32 100000 resulting in slaughter OF
100000 pigs to reduce the sup
ply. Hog prices in September, 1882
averaged S378 a hundred, in Sep
tember, 1893, 1913.
Tobacco benefit payments totaled
S20,OO0.O00 but effects will not be
apparent until buying season starts
in December.
Farmer Dollar Gains
Benefit payments come from pro-
cessing taxes. Collections since july
|, $50 $4,000.
The purchasing power of the
farmers dollar in terms of what he
buys stood at an index figure of Sc
IN September, 1882. 1t reached a
peak for this year of II in july and
since has dropped to go.
Next years wheat reduction cam
pa1gn has resulted in agreements for
15 per cent reduction covering 75
per cent of the acreage, taking out
OF production 100000 acres. In
September, 1882, wheat brought the
farmer 37.4 cents a buShel: in Sep
tember this year, I'll cents.
National Recovery Administration
Purpose-To relieve unemplov-
ment and stimulate industry by in
creasing buying power through re-
ducing hours, raising wages and
eliminating destructive competition.
Cost to government-Sin July
l, Sl,027000 mostly in salaries and
office expense. Indirect coSt-as
these costs chiefly involve increas-
ed payrolls and higher prices to the
public, no figures or reliable totals
are available. Standard Statistics
company reports operating costs of
steel companies have increased S.
$4,000 a month under NRA.
Results - Unemployment since
March is estimated at probably
2,500,000 but the proportion attrib-
utable to NRA cannot be ascer-
tanned.
Original predictions of 100000
men at work by winter have been
scrapped. Assuming 100000 have
returned to work at an average wage
OF Sis week. roughly $200O,OO0,-
600 year would have been added to
national purchasing power. Dun
and Bradstreet's estimates consul
mer buying power has increased S4,-
000,000000 since March. Other gains
include improved standards of busi-
ness conduct, outlawing of cutthroat
competition, reduction or elimina-
tion of child labor in many industries
improvement of status of labor and
a general psychological impulse to
recovery. Additional payroll costs
have increased operating expenses;
either reducing profits or increas-
ing cost of living of consumers. The
general concenSuS of opinion is that
NRA has resulted in improvement
but the extent is a matter of de-
bate.
Farm Credit Administration
Purpose-To relieve mortgage
pressure on farmers by low-rate
government backed loans.
Cost-Advanced by treasury since
