THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1924 FEAR FREIGHTER AND CREW LOST PORT HURON, Mich., Sept. 25. The missing whaleback freighter Clifton, feared to have gone down with its crew of 25, docked at Oscoa, 15 miles from here, Tuesday morning and left a few hours later for Port Huron. It was learned this afternoon. No word has been received of the vessel since. The boat is more than 60 hours overdue. PORT HURON, Mich., Sept. 25. Tugs were preparing today to search Lake Huron for the missing whaleback freighter Clifton, formerly the Samuel Mather, which is more than 54 hours overdue here. It is feared that the vessel, which was laden with stone and carried a crew of 25 has foundered in the lake in Monday night's storm. Officers of the Progress Steamship Co., Cleveland, owners of the Clifton, telephoned here last night inquiring anxiously for the vessel which should have passed thru Monday night. She passed Mackinaw Sunday morning. Because of the gale of Monday night, little was thought of her failure to appear Tuesday. Several other down-bound vessels were 24 to 36 hours late. The storm ranged from southwest to northeast, shifting to northwest toward morning. Tuesday. Yesterday several radio-equipped steamers were requested to watch for the Clifton as they passed up thru Lake Huron. None reported seeing her. Lake Huron's shores will be searched today in the belief that the Clifton may have been crippled and blown into some cove or inlet. She is commanded by Captain Emmett Gallagher of Chicago.

Health and Diet Advice THE MIND AND DIGESTION In an article of this nature it is not possible to dwell at any length upon the mental causations of disease. Mental science and physical science do not disagree, even though at times they appear to principally because physical scientists retain certain theories which have no foundation in fact. I have tried to present in this treatise on diet only those facts which have been proven true, and I do not ask the reader to believe anything written herein which cannot be demonstrated. If you will try to understand the principles of diet as outlined in this book, and will practise the rules laid down in a cautious manner, the results which follow will be so convincing that they can hardly fail to induce complete belief, and when that belief is established, you will see very clearly the road which leads to health. When sufficient physical changes make themselves unmistakably felt, you will then have unconsciously developed that faith, which will add the best mental treatment possible in connection with a proper scientific regime, and such a combination can hardly fail to lead you to perfect health to which you are entitled.

Anaheim THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. AGRICULTURE OUR GREAT INDUSTRY (By M. K. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor) Very few people think of agriculture in terms of an industry. We hear much these days of so-called industrial development in the city but only few realize the significance of agriculture to the various communities of the county and its pigeon as an industry and supporter of the majority of the population therein. Agriculture in Orange County may be likened unto a huge corporation with various departments, each department being responsible for the growing, harvesting, distributing and finance of each crop. Owing to the diversified nature of farming in Orange County the sale corporation is necessarily divided into numerous departments, the main ones of which are citrus, walnuts, truck crops, beans, peppers, sugar, poultry, dairy cattle, and so on. Last year's survey carried on by the Horticultural and Farm Advisor's offices credited the valuation of all crops at approximately $35,000,000 on the farm. The final valuation of these crops delivered to the consumer would be in the neighborhood of $100,000,000. According to the last census, the agricultural interests of the county were divided into 4,188 farms. Figuring an average family to each farm, there would be a total of approximately 21,000,000 people directly dependent on the soil for their income. Taking into consideration, however, the 50 or more packing houses in the county which handle the citrus, walnut, deciduous, and annual crops both co-operative and independent, each employing from 6 to 400 employees, one can get a better grasp on the actual dependents on agriculture in our fertile county. It will be several years before the production of the county will to half! So you are the new merger of our troupe, are you, Mr. Billy Goat? Your name on the billboards should be Mr. Billy Whiskers (little did he think that was Billy's right name!) because you have such an unusual long, thick bead. Come over here and let me pull it and see if it real. While talking the man had been walking toward Billy, and when he reached him he stretched out his hand to pet him, as Billy supported. Instead, he caught hold of Billy's beard and gave it a vicious pull. The next thing the man knew he was flying over the back fence and he landed in an as-barrel, beels up, where he stuck fast and had to call for help. Luckily for him, at that minute ragman was driving down the ailey and he hastened to the fellow's assistance. (We will hope that the man learned a lesson from Billy's rough treatment of him, and will treat animals more kindly after this.) UNION LABOR HAS HEATED ELECTION SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 24—Chief interest in the meeting of the California State Federation of Labor convention here centered about the election of officers following yesterday's sectional strife between northern and southern groups. A row approaching bitterness was foreseen today as preparations were made to begin voting on Eugene Donovan, Los Angeles; Roe Baker, San Francisco and Frank Carothers, Los Angeles. Charges were still being hurled today that Baker is striving to attain the presidency so that he may secure control of the Federation in the interests of the Richardson administration. Baker, in denying them, maintains that he is opposed to the Richardson tax reduction plan. Among the important measures that today stand endorsed by the Federation are those strengthening the women's eight-hour laws, creating an eight-hour day for all street railway and electric line employees and the restriction of prison labor to work within the institution where they are confined. Paul Scharrenberg, secretary-treasurer of the Federation, who recommended many of these measures, today stood re-elected, he being without an opponent for that office. Scharrenberg has held office 16 years. BROKER EXPELLED NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The stock exchange today expelled Geo. F. Secor of Secor, Reynolds A. C. on charges of having engineered improper transactions in Southern States Oil Co. stock. See that youngster, Face so red? Mother feeds him White wheat bread. Is Your Blood Hungry for Iron? still some areas that have not yet awakened to the needs of this precaution. Efficient pest and disease control in all crops is another essential factor. Improved production in the dairy, on the poultry ranch and on the range can all help stay the reduction in these lines if there should be any tendency toward encoachment by other industries. Another important factor, which by no means is the least, is that of placing the production of the soil in the hands of the consumer at a conservative cost. This factor involves a tremendous problem of cutting down the wide margin which often exists between the producer and the consumer. From all angles we find the producer generally getting a very small margin of profit, if any, while the consumer on the other hand, complaining of the tremendous cost to him. The one big problem of research among investigators and co-operatives in the next few years will no doubt be a readjustment of the present distribution system. 19 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported the week ending Sept. 20 show 19 new wells started, compared with 18 the previous week; two in Dominguez, three in Rosegrans, one in Huntington Beach, five in Long Beach, one in Torrance, one in Los Angeles-co., seven in Kernco. The total new wells this year is 1074, compared with 1048 at the same date last year. Tests of water shut-off 23, compared with 41 previous week. Yearly total to date 1231; total to same date last year 1455. Deepening or redrilling jobs 19, compared with 27 previous week. Total to date this year 613; total to same date last year 452. Abandonments 11, compared with 9 preceding week. Total to date this year 344; total to same date last year 204. The new justice of the peace was serving on his first day. "The next case," began the clerk, "is that of Frederick Smith, alias Jones, alias Robinson, charged with assault and battery." The new justice was not to be rushed, however. "One at a time, one at a time," he cautioned. "And first, the women. Bring in Elisie Jones." A Class Ad is best little salesman. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The stock exchange today expelled Geo. F. Secor of Secor, Reynolds A. C. on charges of having engineered improper transactions in Southern States Oil Co. stock. See that youngster, Face so red? Mother feeds him White wheat bread. Is Your Blood Hungry for Iron? Iron Is The Red Blood Food That Gives You Strength, Energy and Power—How to Make the Test that Tells Actual blood tests show that a tremendously large number of people who are weak and ill lack iron in their blood and that they are ill for no other reason than lack of iron. Iron deficiency paralyzes healthy, forceful action, pulls down the whole organism and weakens the entire system. A pale face, a nervous irritable disposition, a lack of strength and endurance, and the inability to cope with the strong, vigorous folks in the race of life—these are the sort of warning signals that Nature gives when the blood is getting thin, pale, watery and literally starving for want of iron. If you are not sure of your condition, go to your doctor and have him take your blood count and see where you stand or else make the following test yourself: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired; next take two five grain tablets of Nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again, and see how much you have gained. By enriching the blood and creating new red blood cells, Nuxated Iron strengthens the nerves, rebuilds the weakened tissues and helps to instill renewed energy and power into the whole system. Unlike the older inorgnific iron products Nuxated Iron is easily asshultated, does not injure the teeth, makes them black or upset the stomach. The manufacturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. It is dispensed by all good druggists. DANGEROUS FOREST FIRE BREAKS OUT COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 25.—What was characterized by local forestry officials as an extremely dangerous fire broke out in the dry underbrush and grass near the town of Green Mountain Falls, west of here shortly after noon today. Several cottages have already been burned, reports said and the fire is menacing heavy timber of the Pike National Forest nearby. The summer home of Sec'y. of Agriculture Wallace is in the path of the flames. The baze was started by sparks from a Midland Railroad engine and a score of railroad employees are now battling against spread of the fire to the valuable timber land. FALLS 5 STORIES LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25.—Plugging five stories to the ground when a scaffold on a building under construction collapsed here today, Ronald Saunders, carpenter, received probably fatal injuries. George Saunders, a-brother of the injured man, was on the scaffold at the time it crashed but he escaped unhurt. ROOSEVELT G.O.P. NOMINEE IN N.H. CONVENTION HALL, ROCHESTER, N. H., Sept. 25.—Col. Theo. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the U.S. navy, was nominated for governor by the Republican state convention here today on the first ballot. Roosevelt was victorious over four other candidates. Denunciation of the K1 Klux Klan by name, a promise to enforce all laws, praise for the national Republican administration and condemnation of the present Democratic state administration are the chief points in the platform which was adopted.
