 Mir. C.. A. Parkyns, who will
 also be d director in this enter
 prise, the writer was assured
 that it was not the pun pose of

 the owners of the Imperial canal

 their greatest interest was i'll

 it's industries on q solid basis
 and assuring prosperity to all.
 III no way could this be done
 more promptly nor more effect
 ivcly than by assuring to the settlers of this Valley, both present and prospective, that the contracts for the delivery of Wa ter would be fulfilled to the letter. He said that all they would ask would be repayment of the funds advanced, and four per cent interest. Tn the hands of these master builders, there fore, the California Development Company will serve the purposes tor which fate intended 1t, and when, in the fulneSS of time. all are removed, its work will be taken up by stronger hands yet, and public ownership under governmental protection be- come the final condition of the use of water ill Imperia.

 These journals are immense en- zines of power ana their favor is more to be desired than rubies: Now that they are both, and especially the Times, enlisted in all intelligent effort to fully and correctly inform the public of the great work accomplished and the bright future unfolding to our beloved Valley, their help and their power must be inclu- ded in the summing up of the forces enlisted in our behalf.

OUR VALLEYS BRIGHT FUTURE

A new day las arisen in I'm perial Valley. A most powerful combination of forces is now united for building our prosper ity on solid and enduring founda- tlons. The visit of the Congress sioual Committees has opened lp new vistas, and assured new sources of bel p from government quarters. Not only will our rights to the waters of the Colo rado river be safeguarded and every obstacle removed that in any way tends to endanger them, but legislation will be enacted that will grant this right to the ones who make beneficial use of this water in the reclamation of their lands. Work of the utmost importance, and of inestlma ble value, also will be done by the various scientific bureaus of the government and systematic Stud- ies made of all the problems ln- volved in the use of water, the reclamation of desert lands and the great work for humanity that has been done by the ln- perial pioneers. Our Valley was a revelation to this committee, as it is to anyone not familiar with the wonderful work here achieved. Hereafter lmperial Valley will be the most interest ing field of investigation and the most talked of place i'll all Uncle Sam's arid west. Everything the government can do to exploit our glowing accomplishments and publish our remarkable re- suits will be done. Added to the fatherly solicitude of Uncle Sam, the fact that some Ot the great captains of industry in the South ern Pacific Company are now ln charge of the water carrying enterprise by which this Valley is supplied, and whose shortcom- ings have caused all the evils from which we have suffered in the past, is a sufficient augury that never again will the old sta te of affairs return. The men who will compose the new man- agerlent of the California De- velOpment Company can get all the money they want for any purpose they want to use 1t. MT. Epes Randolph, who will guide the deStinies of this cor poration hereafter, is business man of wide experience and the soundest of judgment. In his hands and with the funds at his disposal the control of the Colo rado river and regulation of the water supply for this Valley is a

 J. R. Stevenson, aside from being the merchant prince of the Imperial Valley, is farmer on the Eastside in Water Company No. 5. From his ranch of 320 acres, he has made profit of twen- ty per cent net on the investment the present year, and lost the crop on l60 acres, only harvesting one-half his fields. As the expense was as great as if all had been harvested, he figures that if none of his crop had failed his ratio of profit would have been fifty per cent. He says if his stores paid that well he would soon be mil lionaire.

herring to the sect has jumped from 800 to l 300, and the towns have increased from the single little village of Amana to seven prosperous cities. At present there are West Amana, South Amana, High Amana, East Amana. Homestead, Middle Amana and the original village.
 When the settlement was first made, 18.000 acres were purchased by the soci- ety, and now it is recorded that the or ganization owns 30,000 acres, and it's property is declared to be of consiGera- ble value
 The system of government of the soci- ety is that of 8 sort of commonwealth. Trustees are selected by the members, and from their number a president is elected Each family is allowed a spe- cifed sum as a general account. Every member of the community is obliged to work, and the work is graded according to his or her physical capacity. Laziness and shirking is unknown. The fore most industry of these people is agri- culture. Amana woolens. which are manufactured in the Iowa town, have a reputation which is worldwide.
 Equality is the leading feature of com munistic life, and, despite the promi- hence which member may have ob- tained during his period of membership, his final resting place is marked by the same simple, undeeorated headstone that is found on the graves of the others.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIIT THE CHARMS
 OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attaches to the Care of the Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
 and a Clear Complexion.

and d Clear Complexion.
 Every sensible woman naturally wishes to appear attractive. She knows the value of bright eyes, delicate complexion and lively spirits. She knows also that good health is at the basis of her charms, and that good blood is the source of good health.
 Miss Mamie Conway has complexion which is the admiration of all who know her. Asked if she could make any sag- gestions that would be helpful to others less fortunate, she said:
 !" My complexion would not have pleased you, if you had seen it two years ago. It was then about as bad as 1t could be, and 1t gave me Q great deal of dissatisfaction. If you want q good complexion you must take care of your health, especially of the condition of your blood. My health was at that time completely broken down. l was nervous, had frequent headaches, torpid liver and great deal of pain ill that region. 1 suffered also from indigestion. It was clear thatmy blood was in bad condition, for pimples broke out all over my face"
 alt is hard to realize that, for there isn { the slightest trace >t such blem- ishes now"
 1t was unfortunately quite other wise then, and long time passed before I found anything that gave me any re- lief I became very weak and listless. The doctors medicine did me no good, and I took @ number of highly recom- mended tonics with no better result. As soon, however, as began to use Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Palo People my complexion cleared up, and after 1 had taken two boxes there was not Q sign of a pimple left on my face My cheeks became rosy, I gained flesh and have had perfect health ever since"
 Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are merely signs ofhcalthy blood. They have comenot only i'll tho case of Miss Conway, whose homo is at 1241 East Eighth street, Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of women for whom Dr. Williams Pink Pills have made new blood. Thereisno surer way for you to obtain them, than to buy box of these pills from any drug gist and try them for yourself. They cor rect irregularities and banish weakness

IOWA TOWN IS UNIQUE
HAVANA THE HOME OF COM
 MUNIST SETTLEMENT
semi-Centennial Will Be Celebrated Soon Organization Survives Many Privations, But Comes
 Out Successful.


 Amana, Iowa, the largest communistic settlement in the world. this year cele- brates its semicentennial. after an exist ence which for privations and harQshtps is unrivaled in the history of any like sect in this or foreign countries.
 In 1S42, four leaders Of bocy known as the True Inspirationists set sail for America, to seek site for city which was to be the home of these people; place where they could practice their beliefs and be free from the prosecution which their convictions forced them to undergo in Germany. The leaders, once in America, became the victims Of land sharks, and purchased a tract near Buff falo, where their followers settled the next year Ebenezer, as the settlement was then known, was for the decade spent on the spot, harrassed on one side by Indians and on the other by the white land sharks.
 Such conditions were not conducive to communistic life, and again the trusted four were sent to seek another home for the InspiratiCnists. This time, it was specified, the site must be on the further bank of the Mississippi. and, with wis dom bred of ten years experience in the New York settlement, the communists decided upon the site afforded by the Iowa river in the northwestern part of Iowa county Iowa, and in the course of a year the entire settlement had moved their belongings to the site The town was called Amana, meaning remain true" and, despite the oft-proYen truth of the assertion that there is little in a name, it seems that prosperity and hap piness has been the lot of these humble | Germans.
 Communism has a history which is formidable rival of that Of the Puritans There have been many attempts to estab. fish towns exclusively for these people, but as the principles of their belief give each man equal rights, and as there has been, almost without exception, some ambitious person seeking to obtain more than his share of control, the settle ments have nearly always been failures. With Amana it has been very differ ent. The leading lights who headed the movement were c. NJ Winzerreid. John Beyer. Jacob Witmer and Friedrich Heinemann, and these men always had the best interests of their sect at heart. Since 1855, when the settlement was es- tablished, the number of persons ad-

POINTS ON APPENDICITIS.
Jersey School Superintendent Turns Loose on Vermiform Mis-
 information.

Many layman has been "stumped" in trying to master the intricaces of the vermiform appendix. But let everybody take heart, says the New York Sun
 In an arlstocratic New Jersey suburb recently the superintendent of public schools was visiting a grade while lesson ln physiology was being demonstrated. The teacher was explaining the construc- tion of the spinal column. She compared 1t to string of beads Ill order to show it's formation, and drew diagram for further illumination
 When the lesson was finished, the super intendent suggested that most impor- tant feature of the spinal column had not been explained.
 It is this curious, pointed section at the base he said indicating the end of the yertebral column, which is called the vermiform appendix. You have all heard of appendicitis? Very good. Well. that IS the name given to disease which is caused by an inflammation of this ap- pendix. An operation for appendicitis means an amputation of this useless ap- pendix."
 There is new superintendent of public schools in that suburban New Jersey town.

IT SURELY IS WRONG.

To shirk responsibility n politics or to be indifferent to the public welfare.
 Not to be able to carry on intelli- gently conversation upon current top ics.
 To ignore the forces which are im- proving civilization in your own coun- try.
 To know nothing Of the things we see, handle and enjoy every day of our lives.
 To be ignorant of the general his- tory of the world and of the various countries.
 Not to know something of the great est leaders, reformers. artists and musicians of the world.
 Not to have intelligent knowledge of the general affairs of the world and the inter-relations of nations.
 To be grossly ignorant in these days of free schools, cheap newspapers, pe- riodicaIs and circulating libraries
 Not to know enough about the laws of health, about physiology and hy- giene, to live healthfully and sanely.
 To vote blindly for party, right or wrong, instead of for principle, be- cause you have been doing so for years.
