NaZi Race Breed
Idea Denounced

MUNICH, Aug. 10. U.P)-Cardi-
nal Faulhaber, Roman Catholic
archbishop of Munich, officiating
at royal wedding ceremony today,
vigorously denounced the Nazi-ap-

Lauding the church sacrament

ued:
When, however, wedlock is in
stituted as an instrument for racial
breeding-by which the lowest level
Of ethics is obtained-a nation is

Merchants Must
Separate Sales
Tax From Prices

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18.-Effec-
tive with the start of the last quar-
ter of the year, October l, 1887.
retailers throughout the state viii
be required to show the sales tax
separately from the price of mer-
chandise, under new ruling by
the State Board of Equalization.
Merchants must also prominently
display a sign in their places OF
business, stating the sales tax will
be added to all posted and adyer-
tised prices on taxable merchan-
disc.
In explaining this new ruling,
Ray Edgar, member of the boaro
from southern California, stated ii
was adopted at the request of mer.
chants associations throughout the
state and was not arbitrarily order
ed by the board as has been claim
ed.
Merchants associations first
urged the board to make collec-
ton of the sales tax mandatory
on the merchant" Edgar said. "The
boards counsel advised this could
not be done legally. The associa-
tions then urged separate posting
of the sales tax, which In its effect
is practically the same as manda-
tory collection, yet complies with
the law.
For some time the associations
have complained certain merchants
were causing unfair competition by
not collecting the tax. This caused
a loss of business to merchants who
were collecting the tax and resulted
In much dissatisfaction. The boards
ruling clarifies the position of all,
protects the merchant from un-
fair competition and should be the
solution of a vexatious problem"

LISBON, Aug. 49, UP)-Portugal,
aligned with Nazi Germany in the
Spanish civil war crisis, severed re-

in diplomatic move that was ex-
pected to have startling repercus-
sions all over Europe.
The break was made on the
ground that Czechoslovakia, under
pressure from an unnamed third
nation, refused to make good on q
gigantic machine gun order for Por-
tugal.
Just how big this order must have
been was disclosed in an official
communique which said that Cze-
choslovakia offered to deliver 600 OF
the guns-for Portugal's ramy which,
including the air force, the cavalry
and artillery totals 10000 men.
The long communique in which
the break was announced said in
substance that Portugal, continuing
its rearmament of the army" in

Seventy-fivc per cent of Imperial
Valleys grain crop has been har-
vested according to an estimate

association. The windstorm Tues

The market is holding steady at
prevailing prices of $l65-7O for
wheat fob. cars. and $145-50 for
barley.
Grain growers believe that the
fact that the market has remained
firm is dua to the orderly method
of marketing which they have
followed which has prevented a
sudden slump in prices as the har-
vests gets underway Three hundred
cars were sold by the Grain
Growers at good prices before the
harvest was even begun, the mar
keting program being started early
in the season.
Signs that the harvest is over are
found in the many heavy clouds of
smoke in various parts of the valley

FARM TIPS
BY L. G. GOAR
Il. v. Experimental Station)

There is an old Egyptian adage
regarding date culture which says:
Keep its feet in the water, and
its head in the fire" They were
referring to the date palm. and
attempting in few words TO de-
scribe the essentials for profitable
date production. In the Imperial
Valley the advice could be some
what altered. Give your palms
plenty of plant food and water,
and nature will take care of the
fire" part of the requirments. We
have the greatest potential date
producing region in the United
States. but we are doing very little
toward demonstrating this fact. If
much, or as good quality fruit as
they did in former years. there is a
reason, and the chances are good
that the fault is yours. If the pro-
duction and quality continue high,
it is just the palms way of saying
thank you" for the good treatbent
you have given them. A hungry,
thirsty plant can no more produce
its best than undernourishe'1 man
or beast of burden con produce his
best. Why do so many of us expect
the impossible from the plant king

is favorite with many growers,
should be planted in rows 3 feet
apart and about 8 to IL inches
apart in the row. Other varieties
require more space i'll the row. Pea
nuts make a very satisfactory crop
for hog raisers. as the entire crop
may be p9stured to hogs, thus
