For 20 years Harris Sproles, business man of this Sugai house East city, has made it his life's game to identify the submarine and crew that torpedoed the ship he was on one bright day in August, 1918, and left him adrift for 60 hours in the north Atlantic. When Sproles gets his information, which he is absolutely sure he will, he does not know exactly what he will do with it, but he is certain it will give him a great feeling of satisfaction and the joy of having accomplished one of his great aims in life. Sproles was a member of the gun crew on board the United States army transport oil tanker Joseph Cudahy, when on the morning of August 17, 1918, it was torpedoed by a German submarine in he north Atlantic. When the crew of the Joseph Cudahy had taken to lifeboats, the sailors were forced to come alongside the submarine to have their photographs taken. Adrift 60 Hours. It was during the 60 hours that the crew of the Joseph Cudahy was drifting about in the north Atlantic waters, that Sproles determined he would eventually ascertain the number of the submarine and the name of its commander. He began his search immediately after the close of the war, but it was 10 years before he even found a clew to work on. While going east by train in 1928, he met Capt. Julius Lauterbach, who had been executive officer of the German raider Emden and later commander of several submarines. Lauterbach investigated and later wrote that he believed the submacommanded by rine was the Lieutenant Commander Hashagen. However, there was no way to find the present address of Hashagen. Then Lowell Thomas' war book came out giving an index of nearly all the German undersea raiders, and Sproles including the wrote him for Hashagens address which' was sent. Several letters were sent and a long time elapsed before Hashagen replied, stating that it was not his submarine that had sunk the Joseph Cudahy. Sproles then applied to the German consul at San Francisco, but without success. First Concrete Clew. Undismayed, Sproles then applied to the American consul at Berlin and this finally brought a reply from the German reichkriegsminis-teriustating that the submarine which sank the Joseph Cudahy was the commanded by Senior Lieutenant Patzig, whose initials and address were unknown. ' With this concrete clew, Sproles then checked again with Lowell Thomas' records only to find that it was precisely the submarines numbered from 88 to 93 on which it had been impossible to obtain information. What happened to 0 is still a mystery. Sproles, however, still is convinced that somewhere there must exist a picture of the 0 and some information about Lieutenant Patzig, its commander. This he is now trying to have traced down by a cousin who is in the American consular service in Russia. So Sproles still awaits optimistically the day when he will know something about the man who torpedoed him and the one big mystery of his life will solved. i 040 South Main 21 South & State E.

CALIFORNIA RAISES BIG COTTON CROPS i Long Staple Variety Grown Gion Matsuri Is Among Old Japanese Festivals I in San Joaquin Valley. j Fresno, Calif. Just as rich Imperial valley was discovered with :the development of irrigation, so is the extensive San Joaquin valley of California becoming the garden spot of the West with an abundance of .new crops and lots of water. Three crops cotton, flax and sugar beets are currently being boomed in the valley, already known for its rich harvest of grapes, peaches, figs, plums and citrus fruits. Cotton planting has increased so rapidly in recent years that there are hardly enough ginning facilities to take care of the bumper crops. Four years ago, the total acreage devoted to this crop in the valley was 195.GOO acres. This figure jumped to 203,750 in 1935, 348,500 e last year and an high of 00,000 acres this fall. Long Staple Variety. The chief value of California cotton is its extraordinary whiteness and long staple. The national avers age length of the staple is of an inch, while cotton grown here averages one and three of an inch. Only a limited amount of Mississippi delta cotton exceeds it in length. Virgin soil that has been turned over to cotton is producing heavy ! all-tim- seven-eighth- thirty-secon- . Vast plains that formerly were barren deserts are being plowed up with giant tractors. Deep water wells provide abundant irrigation for the fertile soil. This has produced not only the big increase in cotton but a new development in flax in two short years. Only a few experimental patches of flax were here in 1935, chiefly on the west side of the valley. More than 8,000 acres were planted in Fresno county alone this year and growers find it more profitable than grain or wheat. Flax yields between bushels to twenty and twenty-on- e the acre, which gives a large amount of linseed oil for paints, ink and linoleum. Planting will be doubled or tripled next year. Sugar Beets Thrive. Sugar beets grow so well here that large sugar interests are sponsoring heavy planting of beets. The industry has blossomed from practically no planting two years ago to more than 12,000 acres this year. The west side plains, particularly in the area of Coalings, have proved ideal for beets. This new producing area is one reason why national acreage has jumped to an extent where some of the beets can be used for seed. Formerly ail seed was imported from central Europe. An diversification of crops and ability to use equipment and la all-ye- ar d bor nearly the is bring ing prosperity to the San Joaquin valley. In addition to the planting of cotton, flax and sugar beets, total acreages on other crops this year are 375,000 for grapes, 69,000 for peaches, 50,000 for citrus, 35,000 for figs, 20,000 for apricots and 8,500 for plums. year-roun- new-planting- Among the many festivals of Japan is the Gion Matsuri. It follows the tradition of the luxurious Ashikaga dynasty, whose emperors built the Silver and Golden pavilions, two of a collection of gemlike shrines in the Kyoto district, says the New York Times. Though and Ysohimitsu, rulers who built the pavilions, were tyrants, their reigns saw marked progress in Japans arts and crafts. The Gion ceremonial brings back something of the splendor of old Japan. In the processions officers, pages and halberd bearers, handsomely costumed in the pattern of imperial days, follow horsemen and gilded chariots to the Gion shrine. Here and at Kyoto's former imperial palace services, with many priests in attendance, are held, the object being to propitiate the of the shrine. Festures of the fete are decorated cars carried on the shoulders of men, armored knights, musicians and the dance of the chigo, or sacred page boy. Yo-shi- Wrestling Fish Spurn Hooks, but Like to Tussle Ranger, Tex. A river of wrestling fish is described by W. N. McGlothin, of Ranger, Texas. McGlothin said while he was on a trip to the Big Bend section of Texas and to Old Mexico he saw a group of men and boys me morning fashion a seine from gunny sacks and begin dragging the Rio Grande river. The Ranger man previously had fished the same place with hook and line without success. The seiners, however, caught more than 400 pounds of edible catfish in a few minutes a remarkable catch for the Rio Grande. "The natives told us, said McGlothin, "that these fish will not bite hooks. They are called wrestling fish and just love a good fight. They bite, kick and butt, and a recuperative power enables them to live several hours buried in the ground. hand-to-ha- 1069 - 1071 SUGAR HOUSE East 21st South TINY SUBMARINE IS STUDIED BY NAVY 'Swordfish Would Roam in 'Schools After Foe.
