Engagements Avoided
As He Prepares for
Vote 7 omorroW

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. 4
dN.S) ).-President Roosevelt en-
joyed the secluSion of his family
estate on the Hudson River here
today as he waited to cast a vote
tomorrow for the straight Demo
cratic ticket in the State, county
and municipal off-year election.
1t was expected that Postmaster
General James A. Farley, Demo
cratic field marshal, would drop
in at Hyde Park during the course
of the day for a final report on
the New York State situation.
The Democrats hold the assembly
by a slim majority and the high
command naturally is anxious to
retain control of the Empire
States lower house.
This expected visit was based on
the fact that Mr.. Farley had
stated in Washington before the
Presidents departure that he in.
tended to call on Mr.. Roosevelt
here.
1t could not be confirmed Of
ficially, however. AS has been the
case for the past five days, word
came out of the temporary execu-
tive offices that mo callers" were
to be received at the Hyde Park
home today. The same assurance
was given accompanying news
paper reporters Saturday when
Will Hays, czar of the movies, and
Ray Moley, exbraintruster, hap
pened to motor by. :

At a meeting of county milk
producers and distributors held at
the court house this morning a
committee composed of E. j. Null
ligan, Earl Vencill. Russell Broad
beck, A. M Ambort and A. G.. Nc
Intosh was appointed to meet for
the purpose of setting price on
retail milk. The price-fiXing meet
ing will be held at 7 o'clock to-
night.
This mornings session was for
the purpose of discussing thor
oughly this question of the adop-
ton and establishment of a stabil-
lied price for the retailing of milk.
There is no uniform price at pres
ent in the El Centro section of the
valley and for that reason the COM
mittee appointed this morning was
composed entirely of El Centro
producers and distributors.
The Brawley representatives at
the meeting stated that so long as
the price at present prevailing in
Brawley was uniform and salts
factory, it was up to the southend
producers to get together and set
tie their differences to their own
satisfaction.

: NEARLY READY

A new, modern oiled highway, eX-
tending from INLAND to Bonds Cor
ner, will be completed by next
Thursday night, it was announced
today, giving residents of the east
ern section Of the valley new route
north and south throughout the
Length of the valley.
N~Starting at inland the highway
proceeds directly to Calipatria and
thence down the road through the
West section to Brawley, where it
ties in the with the Brawley-
Holtville route to the latter city,

vides additional facilities for trans
porting their produce to market and
will be in big demand during the
lettuce and cantaloupe seasons
particularly.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81 Wp -
Soft-coal miners won $90,000,0 900
victory in the wage agreement

The miners, except for few
thousand in the southern districts,
will go back to work next Tuesday

them a 7-hour day and wage in
creases at least until April l, 1887.
The strike was settled just as it
entered serious phase, with evic-
ton Of miners threatening disorders
throughout the mining areas.
The closing scenes of one of the
strangest strikes in American his
tory were marked by a feeling of
amity between operators and miners
unprecedented in the industrial re-
lations of these traditional enemies.
The strike, calling out 100000
miners throughout the Appalachian
field and effectively tieing up the
entire soft-coal industry, had been
in progress since Sunday midnight.
It was the shortest coal strike on
record, and also the most peaceful.
Miners won:
l. An increase of so cents per
day for workers.
2. An increase of 9 cents per ton
for piece-workers. the men who dig
and load the coal.
8. An increase of 10 per cent in
the pay of those doing so-called
"deadwork."
Operators won:
Rearrangements of the differen-
tials between competing districts
which were designed to put the op-
orators on an improved status in
marketing operations.

BABY BONDS
OFFER FINE
INVESTMENT 7

United States savings bonds Of
fer one of the best thrift opportuni-
ties before the American people
today" Postmaster Frank Rich
mond stated this morning, in an
nouncing that the local post office
is cooperating in a nationwide
drive to speed up the sale Of the
bonds which Jagged somewhat dur
ing the summer.
The bonds popularly known as
baby bonds" are issued in denom-
nations of $25, $50, $1O0, $500 and
$1,000 and are backed by the re-
sources of the United States of
America, which, as the postmaster
points out, makes them the safest
investment in the world, on par
with any other United States bond.
Bonds may be obtained at any
post office in the United States.
They are exempt from taxes and
bear accumulative interest, the
face value of the bond being dis
counted one-third upon purchase
and the interest being paid when
the bond natures. All bonds are is
sued for 10-year period.
If the purchaser wishes to buy a
$25 bond, for example, he pays
S1875 for it. 1t cannot be cashed
within 60 day period, but may be
cashed Immediately any time there
after. Interest is not payable eX-
cept when the bond natures or is
cashed in, when it will be paid to
the buyer, providing at least one
year has elapsed since purchase.
If the purchaser of the $25 bond
holds it for the period of maturity,
he is then paid the face value of
the bond. If he wishes to turn it in
after having held it one year, and
before the date of maturity arrives,
he will be paid the accumulative in
terest at the rate of 2.9 percent
compounded semi-annualy.
The postmaster pointed out the
advantage to parents with children
around eight, nine and 10 years
old, stating that a pond purchase
now will mature about the time
they are ready for college and will
be of great assistance to parents in
financing their education.
Additional information, if desired,
can be obtained at the post office,
which is the sole selling agency for
the bonds.
