HARVEST IN THE NORTH. BY
James Lansdale Hodson. New
York: Alfred A. Knopf.
The Lancashire cotton industry
throve on its Eastern market and,
says ]. B. Priestly in his English
Journey" disappeared into the blue"
some little time after . number of
quiet, smiling. industrious young men
from Japan and India had come 10
Lancashire to learn all about the
processes Of cotton manufacturing.
Immediately following the World War
smoke poured continuously from
Lancashire factory chimneys and
money poured into the accounts of
the manufacturers and the pockets of
the workers Then the smoke and the
money both dwindled and almost dis
appeared. In Harvest in the North"
James Hodson has given q picture Of
life among the people Of several ad-
joining cotton manufacturing towns.
which he calls Chesterford, Burnham
and Saddlebridge, during the boom
and after the crash, which is similar
in motive to Phyllis Bentley's novel Of
the Yorkshire woolen industry. '1n-

Los Angeles has entered into the
controversy over the contract
sought by Arizona relative to the
apportionment of Colorado river

The stock market was extremely
ragged today with no definite trend
established in five hours of trading.
Maine election results were slight
~ unfavorable to some groups and
were mentioned as causes of some
early selling. But the selling was
small and meant little.
General nervousness over fin
ancial conditions chiefly marked
operations. This was reflected in
the bond market where losses of
fractions to a full point were re-
corded in the government division
with home owners loans and fed
eral farm mortgage issues under
going heaviest selling. The dollar
declined slightly in afternoon trad
ing, Sterling erasing an early loss
to show about one cent gain on
the day.
Cotton held about steady but
grains. after some early selling,
rallied to show gains on the day
as traders made bullish interpre-
tations of yesterdays government
crop report. On the board of trade
there was a rise of $500 in price
OF pit memberships" to $500
About the same time announce
ment was made of sale of stock
exchange membership at s76,000
$4,000 under the two year low
mark recorded yesterday.
U. S. Smelling again was star
performer on the stock market.
An early break carried 1t down to
i09h, off 3& points. from which
1t rallied to ia for a point net
gain. Glass stock received heavy
selling.
Stock sales today approximated
$4,000 shares against 100000 shares
YESTERDAY Curb sales were $4,000
shares against $4,000 shares yes

BIC DAMAGES
FOR INJURIES
VII

Boy Scouts of America, Imperial
and Yuma county council of the
Boy Scouts of America, Henry
Webster, G. A. Chavez and A. A.
Sandoval are named defendants
in a damage action filed in superior
court this morning by Harold P.
Young, ~, through his guardian
for the action, Harold s. Young.
Damages of $4,000 are asked by
the plaintiff with an additional
S2305.50 named by his guardian.
The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff, a resident of Calexico,
is a member of the Scout troop
over which defendant Webster had
been placed as scoutmaster. 1t
states that on January 13 Of this
year, Webster commanded 1and
directed the plaintiff and other
scouts to proceed on bicycles from
Calexico to a point about II miles
northwest of that city to undergo
training in matters pertaining to
the Boy Scout organization.
On their return to Calexico, the
complaint alleges, Webster COM
manded the plaintiff and other
scouts to follow him on bicycles
along the Mt. Signal-Seeley high
way. At o'clock while proceeding
in this manner, there being no
headlights or other lights on any
of the bicycles, the camplaint furth-
er alleges, Young was struck by an
automobile belonging to Sandoval
and driven by Chavez. 1Ef
1t is stated that the plaintiff
received personal injuries which
will be permanent. 1t charges Web
ster with being incompetent to- act
as a scoutmaster in that he was
inexperienced in the handling of
boys and was physically per-
manent invalid and unable to
safely direct the movements of his
own bicycle while in the COM
inand of the plaintiff. a'st =

DEMOCRATS
To CONTEST.
MAINE VO IE

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. IL. U.P)-
Maine Democratic leaders, victor
ious in three out OF five office
races. will demand a recount in the
U. S. senatorial contest in which
Senator Frederick Hale, Repub-
lican. seeking a fourth term, APP
parently defeated F. Harold Du-
bord, Democrat, by an exceedingly
small margin in yesterdays state
election, they announced today
Fred H. Lancaster, chairman of
the Democratic state committee,
said returns reaching committee
headquarters indicated that, with
only 10 of the states 631 precincts
missing, Hales lead with Dubord
was "only 300 or 900 votes"
Democratic leaders pointed out
that whereas the vote given to
Governor Louis Jefferson Brann,
Democrat, and Alfred <. Ames.
Republican, in the gubernatorial
contest totaled some $4,000, the
vote given to Hale and Dubord
in the senatoriaf contest totaled
only about 274,OO0-a difference of
$4,000 votes.
They considered it extraordinary
that $4,000 voters who cast bal
lots for governor neglected to mark
their senatorial choices.
Returns from all but % of the
states 631 precincts gave u. S. sem
ator Frederick Hale only a handful
of votes as his margin over his
Democratic opponent, F. Harold
Dubord. 5..

on the question OF repeating Names

the baby at the hospital, told auth

spilled accidentally the burns would
not have been confined to the ba-
