HUGE MELLON PA TCH IS PEACEFUL AGAIN Three Years’ War Between Farmers and Power Interests Ended—Make, Sell Own Electricity.

I reside at Table Mountain, and my name is Truthful James; I am not up to your small deceits, nor any sinful grames. . A , And I’ll tell in simple laneruag-e what I know about the row That broke up our Society upon the Stanelaus. _ —Brete Harte. MODESTO, Cal., March s.—Peace reigrns at last over the State's richest dairy region and the world's biggest melon patch, a quarter of a million acres in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley. It comes after a war that made the historic row sung by Truthful James of these regions, seem like a love feast. Stanislaus County was slumbering in the middle of a worn-out grain belt in 1887. The farmers decided that to save their farms they must have wafter. They organized the two districts around Modesto and Turlock, went into partnership and built a diverting dam at De Grange. The old grain land blossomed into alfalfa, dairies, fruit ranches and melon farms. Modesto, the county seat, and its sister to the south, be-

Rid Your Blood of Psoriasis Eczema and Stubborn Skin Eruptions With Deep Sea Water If You Can’t Do It With Ocoan-O Haag Drug Cos. Will Bo Glad to Return Your Money

Bad blood, or at least blood that is not balanced minerally, is responsible for all skin eruptions except those of an infectious nature. • Local treatments may help for a little while, but why not get rid of skin troubles forever? You’ve heard of Oeean-O, of course. Physicians have been using it for years. It is nothing more or less than pure deep sea water distilled,

'concentrated and fil- ■ tered and with the excess of common salt Iremoved. i So Oeean-O as you get it at any drug store in a large 10 ounce bottle contains the min- • eral elements that your blood or body contains and needs. And when you have skin eruptions that torture or embarrass you it's probably because your blood is starving for the want of just those vitalizing mineral elements that deep sea water or Ocean-O can furnish. When you start to rid yourself of skin diseases with Ocean-O all you need is

came the fastest growing centers in the State. A sign over the entrance to this little city reading. “Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health,” told the story. Vole Bigger Dam Then, after ten years, the water began to get low. The two districts got together and voted to build a bigger storage dam forty miles up the Tuolome River at Don Pedro. Out of their own money, at record cost and in record time, the farmers built Don Pedro dam, which stands today a monument to cooperative public ownership, the highest massconcrete dam in the world. The fanners decided to write another word into the slogan over Modesto's gateway. This was Power. The built a power house at the bottom of their dam to generate 20,000 horsepower for themselves — and their wives. It was this little power plant that caused the row.

One doctor says that In a case of general psoriasis of several years standing the eruption began to fade in a week—yet we are told it cannot be overcome. Ask Haag Drug Cos. or any reliable druggist for a bottle of Ocean-O to-

day and start to banish skin eruptions. Use one bottle as directed and if it doesn’t help you—get your money back. And beau- in mind that Ocean-O is a wonderful blood, nerve and Intestinal tonic and that after a bottle has been taken—always diluted with cold water as directed —constipation will cease to bother and natural bowel movement will be regular. , There isn’t a grain of anything artificial In Ocean-O, the deep sea water treatment, and it is easy to take and no after-taste. — Advertisement.

pany had the same idea about the farmers’ power that tho private power companies - have about the Muscle Shoals project. They proposed that the farmers sell the power to them wholesale and let them distribute. The farmers allowed they’d distribute it themselves. For three years the farmers had to fight to hold their property. When their directors went back on them, they recalled the directors, and after three such recalls the survivors finally got the point. When convinced that the private interests and txiught out both local papers, the farmers held mass meetings and distributed pamphlets. And when the company refused point-blank to sell

Was It Love or Fascination ?

C7* one Is nearly twenty and wants to get ahead in the world, \jU life as a manicurist in a barber shop is prosaic and dull. Or, at least, so thought Angellque! Holding men’s hands all day long wearied her. Their foolish flattery sickened her. And they were all alike— those men. She began to doubt whether she would ever meet a man she could love with all of the devotion she felt herself capable of. But that was before she met Carlos, an exhibition dancer. When she danced with him, and the music throbbed, she felt that she could close her eyes and dance on and on with him forever. That was the beginning of her romance with Carlos.

But how little she knew about life and the ways of men! When Carlos asked her to become his professional partner, Angelique’s heart set up a terrific hammering of excitement. To go on the stage with Carlos, and rise with him to heights of fame—she could hardly believe her good fortune. The fact that Carlos was an absolute stranger to her—that she knew nothing of his past, his associates, his private life—did not enter her excited mind. But her first visit to Carlos’ studio was to become the opening act in a drama that no playwright could have written, that no novelist could have imagined, that no “movie” plotster could have created for the screen. It was a swift, heart-gripping, true-life drama that was to sweep the highest and the lowest of society into its cyclonic whirl. It was a desperate conflict of human love, hate and revenge that was to seize Angelique in its merciless grip, fling her high into the clouds of reckless laughter, and then hurl her with crushing force down, down onto the rocks of fear and despair.
