on my feet they wouldn't dare
face me with such a contract.
That girl! I practically picked
her up off the street and now
she sees herself sitting up on
my throne. Yes, throne!"
O'Hara was brave enough to
object.
"Oh, don't think Miss Rankin
is a double-crosser. She's not
that sort. Gottlieb is just using
her. And after all, don't forget
she dug up the money when the
rest Of us failed"
Misjudged
The Madame's eyes glittered.

her have power for a while. I
need a long rest. And I have
plans Of my own, bebe. This
mob appeal, as you call it, with
cosmetics is not bad. All, there
is much money to be made.
Eighty per cent Of profitable
business is better than a hun
dred per cent Of a failure, eh,
O'Hara? # my enemies are
smart, I am big enough to give
them credit. Let them build up
my business and then-click-I
take the whole thing back"
O'Hara's face scowled in be-
wilderment. II never thought
you'd sign a contract like
this"
certainly I'll sign it," said
the amazing woman. "Am I not
delirious?" One of her shining
eyes closed in what was un-
deniably a wink. Above the
germicidal odors, Madame HUI
bert's voice rose triumphantly
out of her bandages. "Remem-
ber my condition if this ever
comes up in court. I'm signing
it in a coma. The pen trembles
in my nerveless hand. They
should not monkey with people
like us, eh, O'Hara?"
One thin whistling note came
from O'Hara's lips as he gazed
down at her full Of admiration.
Prone on her back, encased in
splintS and wound round with
bandages - apparently TIRE M

Good Lord, they're licked be-

they supply the money, and
build up the business, and then
you step in and take it all! You
nullify the contract because it
was signed when you were out

doctors, everybody-Will testify
you weren't responsible"

But don't you want me to

"Of course not" replied Ma.

I'm very sick woman, remem-

"And Gottlieb is going to be

CARDINALS IN
FIRST PLACE

SPORTSMANS PARK. ST.
LOUIS, July %. U.P) - The st.
Louis Cardinals moved into leader
ship of the National League today
by defeating the New York Giants
in the first game Of a double head
er, to l.
A crowd unofficially estimated at
22.5O0 fans witnessed the game,
which climaxed a three weeks up
surge by the world champions to
force the Giants from the pinnacle
they had held so long.
1t was a game which found young
Paul Dean, a Cardinal ace, limiting
the Giants to four hits while strik-
ing out 12. Leroy Parmelee and
Allyn Stout were the pitching goats
The Cardinals went into a lead
of two runs in the first inning and
never relinquished. Joe Medwick
with two successive home runs. was
the big noise in the Cardinals at
tack.
Pepper Martin doubled in the
fifth after Rotllrock had done So
increasing the Cardinals lead to
four runs. Parmelee allowed five
hits in as many innings, Paul Dean
one.
The Giants scored once in the
seventh when Leiber reached first

third on Jackson's single and
Moore's error, and came home on
Danning'S double. Weintraub, bat
ting for Parmelee, famed for
Deans 10th strikeout of the game
Allyn Stout replaced Parmelee for
the Giants.

total to six runs by adding two
more in the eighth. Rothrock
reached first on Stout'S error, went
to second on Whitehead's sacrifice,
and scored when Critz fumbled
Collins easy grounder and threw
wild to first. MedWick, who had
walked, reached third on the double

single.

Harrigan GiUeS
Excellent Talk
At Lions Meeting

Declaring that the outlook for
Imperial Valley is exceptionally
bright and that every resident
should find encouragement in it, B.
A Harrigan, county agricultural
commissioner, gave an interesting
talk at the Lions club meeting to-
day.
Discussing the two major crops,
lettuce and cantaloupe, Harrigan
stated the latter had not been n
financial success this year but that
progress has been made on a new
mildew resistant melon with which
it is hoped to rebuild the industry
on a profitable basis and asserted
that the men connected with it are
not discouraged by this years set
back. He believes the unsuccessful
cantaloupe deal is the only dark
spot on the valleys horizon at pres
ent.
Pointing to factors which are
highly encouraging, he cited the
dairy industry which has shown a
new lease on life following the TB.
cleanup conducted last year. A
second survey recently completely
showed only 3 per cent reactors
among valley herds Los Angeles
dairymen are buying young stock
from Imperial Valley and are pay
ing good prices for it.
The hay crop shows no surplus
at present. Prices have been good
and are expected TO be even bet
ter.
Flax acreage has increased from
1000 acres to $4,000 acres with an
average yield of % bushels to the
acre, the top fj.-re being 55 bush
els. Wheat ana barley among 9TH
er field crops, are also in good con-
dition.
The commissioner stated his
office constantly receives letters
from all pats of the country from
farmers who are interested in To-
eating here. The diversity of crops
is an incentive which will encour-
age farmers from other sections
where there is a short growing sea-
sen, frequently limited to one crop.
He stressed the development of the
small farm as one of the needs in
the valley. The exhibit at the San
Diego exposition has been the
means of Imperial Valley getting
excellent nationwide publicity. The
total number of inquiries made
there is exceeded by only one ether
exhibit in the entire exposition.
Harrigan reviewed the wor k
which his office is doing in con-
junction with the SERA in the line
of pest control and concluded with
a reference to its Importance in
maintaining a high standard for
Imperial Valley crops and herds.
Cecil Ashley was chairman OF
the day and G. T. Cour Of San Di-
ego was a guest of the club.

New York Stocks

NEW YORK. July 2S. U.R)-New
groups came forward to take lead
erShip in the stock market today
when profit taking brought declines
in some recent favoriteS. Rails were
prominent on the upside in the af-
ternoon. Motors slipped lower.
The market opened firm with U.
S. Steel rising to new 1895 high.
Motors met a bit of profit taking
and reacted. Then mining shares
led a rally and finally the rails
took the helm. In the later deal
ings some further profit taking de-
veloped, leaving the market irreg-
ular.
Trading picked up considerably
with sales the highest in some time.
The first hour was especially active
with the tape falling two minutes
behind actual transactions at 10:15.
The late profit taking may have
been influenced by the wheat situ-
alton. Following a drop of the
limit of cents in July wheat at
Minneapolis, Chicago wheat turned
down and closed at losses of q cent
to Us cents a bushel Corn, how
ever, was unchanged to q cent
higher Dealings dried up on SELL
ing operations, giving traders the
/ impression the setback would be
only temporary.
Considerable profit taking came
into the automobile issues.
Chrysler, the feature yesterday,
fell back more than a point. Gen
eral Motors lost fractionally. Mot
or equipments turned irregular late
in the day after further gains had
been run up in many issues. Tim
! ken Roller Bearing was a strong
spot, gaining 2 points.
Chrysler reported after the close
Yesterday for the second quarter
and the first half Of 1885. The
latter period set new records in
production and in earnings. How
ever. such favorable report had
been discounted and the stock
eased today. General Motors will
report on Thursday and it is eX-
pected to make such favorable
showing that directors will be able
to declare a 50-cent extra.
Before the profit taking, new
highs were made by dozens of is
sues including Allied Chemical,
American Radiator American Car
& Foundry. American Tobacco 3,
Bendix Aviation, Deere & Co.,
Bethlehem Steel, Borden. General
Electric, Allis Chalmers, Westing-
house Electric, Lorillard, Interna-
