way of killing the insects.
There are about 10000 dried in
sects to the pound. They look like
fiuted, concave grains.
The most profitable crop is the first
one, consisting of the unimpreg-
mated females. The second crop is
a mixture, including young and
adult females and skins, which con-
tain but little of the dye, but suf-

AS these insects are most prolific

Among
Our YESTERDAYS

The I.W.W. was going full blast
20 years ago, according to story
from Washington, d. c., in the
March 25, 1920 issue of the Imperial
Valley Press, and their activities
were causing stir as far west as
Imperial county.
Representatives of the American
Legion protested to the legislature
in Washington and demanded SOL
dier relief to halt attempts of the
IWW to recruit former soldiers to
their cause.
Attractive women circulated IWW
literature in veterans hospitals in
one section. the legion charged,
urging the soldiers to join the
movement. False security was prom
ised workers.
A story from Denver represented
the growth of the automobile in
duStry and decline of the horse
as means of locomotion as the
city council of that city passed an
ordinance prohibiting the driving
OF horses on city streets.
Elsewhere in the Press:
A committee of Ell Centro club
women met in Ell Centro to study
the amount of salaries paid to val
ley teachers. The women demand
ed that teachers be paid suffi-
Gent wage to live
Directors of the chamber of COM

GANDHI TRULY GREAT
Sacramento UniOn)

NSdCIduleIlO Z IIOll)
Compared with the bullying Opportun-
ism and the double-dealing which charac-
teriZe most of the worlds political L1ad-
ership today, the integrity of MohandaS
X. Gandhi is Jewel amid the dross.
Spiritual leader of more than 23O,OO0,-
600 people and dedicated to freeing IN
dia from British rule, the little, WiZened
man in the lOin cloth has with the pass
ing of the years made secure his position
as one of the great men Of the century,
The mahatma's last in a long series Of
magnanimouS gestures was his recent
announcement that decision on the vital
question of India's independence would
be postponed until the end of the Allies
war with Germany.
Although he did not link this delay
with the London Staying by a Hindu zeal
OF of Sir Michael O'DWyer, former lieu
tenant governor of the Puniab there is
reason to believe in view Of Gandhi'S
strict policy Of non-violence, that the un
fortunate incident may have influenced
him.
Throughout his dealings with British
officials, Gandhi has practiced the Gold
en- Rule, and, strangely enough, despite
the world-accepted game Of diplomatic
double-dealing at which the British are
adept, London's emissaries have learned
not to try any of the Traditional tricks
with the little Hindu.
AS someone has said, he combines the
gentleneSS Of the dove with the wisdom
Of the serpent.

American business men, who fear
I'd the effects of the war on foreign
commerce. can take some comfort
from the fact that nothing very sim
i:ter has happened SO far.
What trade has been lost with
Germany has been amply made up
in increased business with Great
Britain. France, the Netherlands,
and the Scandinavian countries.
And, meanwhile, the new Pan-Am-
Crican solidarity has doubled exports
from the United States to South
America, according to United States
based on comparisons between jan
uary, 1899. and January, 1910.
In January. 1899, this country eX-
ported Sl8,695 600 worth of goods
to South American countries. In
January, 1910, $38,566.000 worth of
material was shipped down. Imports
from South America, on the other
hand, rose only slightly from $27,-
100000 for January 1899, to $3l,-
$4,000 for January, 1910.
In any school of economics, this
looks like a favorable balance OF
trade In January. 1899, we imported
goods worth g. million dollars
more than we exported. In January,
1910. We sent to South America sew
Ell million dollars more in goods
than we took from her. 1t looks
good, except for one hitch: South
American republics can't hold down
their end of the teeter-.otter unless
something is done about arranging
credits or providing exchange.
1t would be wise to preserve the
South American market. not alone
for its immediate value but for its
potcntialities. The United States
has not suffered heavily from COL
lapse of trade in Europe. AS a mat

The matter of that third set of

other is the question of locating a

it might be necessary to seek the
cession by the republic of Panama

to ears-to-the-ground Californians

According to these advices, the
Sub-surface row is worse than ever.
Ickes dealt chiefly with William
c. McAdoo, head of one faction. and
Governor Olson. leader of the other;
trouble is. neither man really con-
trolls his faction, and some of the
key figures weren't seen by Ickes

SENATOR'S ATTACK
SUDDENLY HITS FBI

Senator Theodore Green of Rhode
Island is in the engaging position of
man who swung at the private
detective agencies and hit the FBI.
Green month ago brought in
resolution for a senate probe of wire
tapping, prompted thereto by COM
plaints-in his own state, and others
that various private agencies were
using this means of digging up SUM-
dry kinds of dirt. His resolution
is going over bigger than he anti
cipated, and is being broadened to
include study of the F'BI'S ac-
tivitieS in that field.
incidentally, it would not be sur
prising if Attorney General Jackson
presently made an investigation of
his own. The FBIS recent activities
ir compiling lists of suspects" of
subversive activities have irked him;
he told friend not long ago that
he didn't like it and proposed to
do something about it.

That. it can now be revealed, was
one of the things Herbert Hoover
