The Southern Cotton Associa-
ton is preparing to say We'll
do it,"
The plan is a button which
will be a part of the cotton cam
paign which is now being waged
throughout the south. The exc
cutive committee of the Southern
Cotton Growers Association has
adopted a button and 100000 will
be made. A small charge will be
made for the button, as the asso-
citation is dependent on contrlbu-
tons and could not afford to pay
the cost of such a large mum Der,
Every farmer who has partici-
pated in the cotton holding move
ment will be asked to wear a but
ton.
On the button will be bale of
cotton and this motto: In Unity
There Shall Be Strength" In
large black letters there will be
printed on the button the initials

The Sadie Hotel at Triton
Entirely Destroyed by Fire,

About the time the passenger
train for Fitzgerald was leaving
Triton Sunday evening the pas
sengers on the train were attract
ed by the fire alarm and within
an incredibly short time and be-
fore the train was out of sight
tue Sadie Hotel, a large wooden
structure owned and run by Mr..
/. U. Myers was entirely wrap
ped in flames.
The fire was discovered COM
ing through the roof just over
Mr.. Myers room, and soon the
entire building was mass of
flames, and the entire building,
together with it's entire furnish
iugs, was destroyed. Being CEN
trally located, other valuable
property was in i'm minent danger
of being consumed. Among the
property in danger was the Tim
mons building, Boatright build
ing, Smith building and Williams
building. It is impossible to as
certain the loss TO Mr.. Myers at
this time, but it is thought that
he is fully covered by insurance.
This fire leaves Triton almost
without hotel accommodate rs,
but by heroic work of the fire
men the flames were confined to
the hotel, thereby saving other
property owners from any seri'
Gus loss and thereby saving TIT
ton from one of the most destruc'
tive fires in this section of the
country.
This is the last of a series o.
fires that for several months
seem to have menaced oul
plucky little neighbor.

SILSBEE Whats Doing Over at the Pleasure Resort on the Shore of Blue Lake

Mr. George Avery and family are expecting to leave for San Diego next week to spend the rest of the summer at that delightful resort.
 MT. Charley Dearborn Is recovering from his attack of typhoid fever. He is able to sit up now, and we all hope he will soon be fully restored to health.
 Squire Orrick and wife left for San Diego Tuesday. They will go to Draw- ley and cross the New river at that point on the ferry boat that is being built at that place.
 Mir. Thomas Davis left for Campo last Monday. He went across the overflow by Storms crossing and swam New rIver, the outlet of Blue Lake and a number of other places.
 The farmers, since the Heber ware house was wrecked, are building scaf- folds and piling their threshed grain upon them. It keeps out the mice and is precautiOn in case the water should break through
 Some of the farmers across New river in No. $ south of Silsbee have lost quite severely by the flooding of their farms. Ome of them had their grain already threshed when the water came and they lost q great deal of their grain. It is reported that almost all of No. 6 is flooded.
 Mir. Andy Elliott and family left Sils- bee for Campo last Tuesday in com pany with Squire Orrick and family and Mir. Fowler. They went to Brawley to cross New river on the new ferry boat which, at present, presents the only means of getting over New river dry shod.
 A farewell party was given by MT. HOnaker in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Orrick and the Elliott family, last Monday night. There was refresh ments, games and dancing, and all re- port most enjoyable time. 1t is a matter of wonder to people who think we have such hot climate to under stand how people can dance here in the summer time, but they can, and enjoy it too.
 Mir. Roy Rumsey, one of SiEsbee's genial merchants, has just completed the work of clustering, painting and decorating the interior of his store building. The walls of the building are of adobe and it is plastered with the same material, then painted. and tinted a lovely sky blue which makes the store room beautiful one. Mir. Rum- s~y is justly proud of having SO beanti- ful store room and n"o tiiVt i~ =t, ,ctrI and comfortable for the summer. ...r
The Imperial press., 1905-07-22

The weather has been fine for ten days or more and farm work is going ahead the same as if it was April in- stead of July. Melons and cantelopes are in great supply and the Silsbans surely have plenty of the good things of summer fare.
 Silsbee had a narrow escape from being flooded last Saturday. The head- gate of Elder No l3 started to wash out and was discovered just in time to stop the water and avert the calamity. If it had not been discovered for a few minutes longer it is doubtful if the water could have been stopped. In that case very serious damage would have resulted, as the flood of water would bave daubtless destroyed the adobe store buildings in Silsbee, The overflow water is slowly receding. 1t has fallen about three inches at Mir. Avery's place, and more than that up the river It's fall is sincerely welcomed by all our people. The water completed overhowing all the land south of Elder canal and Elder No. 13 on the 9th day of May and reached danger line about June l, which it kept; holding at just about one level for six weeks.

 Mir. and Mrs. I. P. SiIiman left Tues day for Los Angeles and Long Beach, where Mrs. Silliman expects to spend few weeks, but Mir. Silliman will return within a few days.
 Quite a little excitement was caused in our city Monday morning, when the tent house of Mrs. c. c. Rhodes caught fire. The family were near, saw the flames, and were able to extinguish them before much damage was done.
 Tuesday morning much concern was given the people of HOltville by the rumor that the railroad bridge across the Alamo river had been washed out of place by the excessive amount of water coming down the river, but upon inves- tigation it was found not to be so dan gerous as first reported. The train has not crossed the bridge, which makes it very inconvenient for passengers as well as the inconvenience of getting the freight over. The pile driver came Wednesday and no doubt the bridge will be saved.

impoverished Soil

Impoverished soil, like impov-
erished blood, needs a proper
fertilizer. A chemist by analyz-
ing the soil can tell you what
fertilizer to use for different
products.
If your blood is impoverished
your doctor will tell you what
you need to fertilize it and give
it the rich, red corpuscles that
are lacking in it. 1t may be you
need a tonic, but more likely you
need q concentrated fat food,
and fat is the element lacking
in your system.
There is no fat food that is
SO easily digested and assimi-
lated as
