Will! you com. and take peep at the black grenadines No handsomer, more satisfy E ing material was ever created for summer gowns. Film, and rich yet not, of necessity expensive, they appeal to ev' cry woman:
 There are very good one: at ST lyd. Some are all silk some silk and linen Patterns are mostly striped though some are scattered with leaves
 At $1 25 there are silk and wool as we'll as silk and linen sorts. One of the prettiest is woven basket fashion.
 The 1.5o sorts are either very thin or medium weight. Medium weights do not re. quire such fine foundation though after all, there is noth. ing to equal a taffeta silk for use beneath a grenadine.
 Finer grenadines in plenty if you wish; some for as much as $3. 50 yd.
 Shirt-waists, white and col ored. are coming into tbe store and going out again so fast it is almost useless to try to keep track of the styles or sorts. Colored ones of madras and percale and fine gingham from Soc up. White from $l to $6 75 The dollar white ones are made with either tucked front or tucks and hem stitch ing in combination.
 A special lot of colored ones at 75c is quite an attraction just now. They are made with rows of white inserting in front. Can't promise they'll be here long.
 Lightweight skirts for sum- mer wear are of wool and made with either very thin lining or no lining at all. They come in cheviot and broadcloth and brilliantine and include the popular light grays, brown and black. Prices from $3 75 up with a number of tasteful styles at $5 i Summer comfort both for the house and for wear is very ready now.

and his high character has been a great in-
 fluence for good among the scholars. It will
 be impossible to keep Mr Gardner another year unless sufficient guarantee can be given him in tuitions and other subscriptions. It
 would be very difficult to find man to fill his ed that the effort now being made to secure enough financial guarantee to retain the present principal another year will be suc- cessful. Any new scholars likely to go to the Academy next year should make it known to the principal or the president before June 8.

MIX. EARLE SLOAN OF CHARLESTON
OETS THE PLACE
Appointment made Tuesday-Mr. Sloan
Has Had Wide Exporionces-Eas
Been on U. \. Geological Sur
vSy-:South Carolina.
Tho State May IL

At last tho long needed Office OF
State geclogist, provided for at the
recent session of the general assembly
has been filled. There have been a
number of applicants for this most
important position since the passage
of tho act, and Gov. McSweeney has
been carefully going over tho en-
| dorsements and recommendations
presented. He desired to get n
South Carolinian if any one could be
had, and no has found one. He yes
terday appointed Mr.. Earle Sloan of
Charleston to the Office.
The new State geologist is chom
ist Of some note. He is most highly
recommended by competent judges,
among them five of the leading pro
fessors of the University of Virginia.
After spending q while in travel and
the study of various mineral forma-
tions, mines and industrial plants of
the country, Mr. Sloan became COM
missioner Of mines to the district of
southwestern Colorado. He has twice
been assistant geologist to the
United States geological survey, and
Capt. Clarence e. Dutton, chief
assistant of the director general of
the survey, speaks highly of him. lie
was subsequently rendered by the
United States geological survey the
position of chief Of the southerly
division of the western survey. Then
he was the mining engineer and
metallurgist of the Norfolk and
Ouray Mining and Smelling company
and is endorsed by President Roper
and Manager Echols. Later he was
chief engineer to the Tennessee Coal
Iron and Railroad company, operat-
ing large coal and iron mines in
| Alabama.
Since 1903 Mr.. Sloan has operated
rs consulting geologist and mining
engineer in the Southern States.
During this time he has operated on
many mineral formations, designed,
constructed and operated numerous
chemical, industrial and mining
plants, and developed various mines.
He maintains a private laboratory
for his individual Investigations and
has full equipment of Instruments.
Personally he is we'll known and
popular. There are a number of
matters awaiting his attention as
soon as his commission reaches him,
and he can get to work.

THE VELVET BEAN AGAIN.
Something About Its Value.

Last year I sont to farmer friends
in South Carolina over 800 trial
packages of velvet bean seed and
nearly eyery one reports excellent
results with them. So many have
written mo for moro information
about them and asking for a few
seed I have decided to write a gen
oral description of the bean and give
manner Of cultivating and mode of
using, which will save me lot of
correspondence and work. In the
beginning Twill say that forage crops
and plants for improving the soil
has been n special study of mine for
years. I thought the COW pea could
not be beat until I tried the bean,
but have given the pea up and
grow the bean exclusively, as [ con-
slider it 80 per cent. moro valuable,
both as stock feed and soil i'm
prover.
The vines can be cut for hay or be
allowed to ripen the beans and
have known them to yield 8 tons of
hay per acre and rs bushels of beans
on land that would not make 20
bushels of corn per acre while it's
drouth resisting power was increased
rs per cent.
The Louisiana station found that
an average acre of the bean vines
and all contained 101 pounds of
nitrogen, 243 pounds of potash and
Al pounds of phosphoric acid which
turned under has a fertilizing value
of $40 per acre. The mechanical
effect on the soil is very great. THOR
planting improves the soil to an ex-
tent that seems increditable. Land
that.would: not make over 10 bush.

Sign of Enterprise

The National City Record directs the attention of the people of San Diego to the advertising columns of the Imper- ial Press and Farmer to show how en- terprising are the business men of Los Angeles in reaching out after trade.
 The Press is little bit proud of its advertising clientage, and it is un- doubtedly good subject for study by all the readers of the paper. But it must not be understood that the Press has any objections to San Diego mer- chants taking advantage of its columns. ..

Charley Nun of Hotel Imperial spread great Thanksgiving dinner Thursday, which was forcible testi- mony that Imperial is ill close touch with the world at large. Two great turkeys, cranberry sauce, rnince and pumpkin pies and many other dainty eatab bles brought the repast up to the established order of things and made the menu equal to that of any hotel or restaurant in Los Angeles on the same occasion.

Control the DitChes

In the temporary canal passing much water of late that when no one was irrigating the water would over- flow. This has happened on two Sun days in succession, besides other days. In time the water will be under control of Zanjeros, but for the present no one is in charge, and those who use the water should be careful not tc allow the ditch to overflow, for fear it will become necessary for the company to reduce the amount of water coming through.

First Thanksgiving

Thursday was the first Thanksgiving day in the history of Imperial, and the day was suitably observed by services at the church, Rev. John c. Hay de- livering an able sermon. There was a good attendance of people from many parts of the valley, though the pressure of work in developing the country is such that many were pre- vented from attending the services.
 In outlining the blessings for which residents of the Imperial valley should be thankful, Rev. MT. Hay included the comforts of pioneering here in contrast with the struggles of other pioneers in lands where great obstacles have been presented and overcome. He saw general prosperity among the people and considered the blessings of climate not of the least importance.

Will Build Large Store

w. B. Broadwell of Covina, who has paid two visits to Imperial, writes that OH the first of the year he will begin the erection of store building on his lots across Imperial avenue from the lumber yard, in block S2. The new building will be 40 by 90 feet, making a large store room. When MT. Broad we'll wrote he intended to build of adobe, but when he learns that there will probably be brick yard in opera tion in time for his building, and that brickwork will be obtainable at tow figure, it is probable that he will amend his plans and use the more en- during material.
 MT. Broadwell carries large stock of dry goods, clothing, shoes, mems goods, etc., at Covina, and it is believed to be his intention to move his entire stock to Imperial. He is young and energetic man.
