eloquence from away will read papers of importance and inter- est to the valley ranchers and discussions pertinent to present conditions in the valley will form an important and entertaining feature of the program. The colt show is certain to be an event of magnitude and importance. So great is the interest in it that the committee in charge has re- ceived many applications from farmers in various parts of the valley to enter other live stock and have the animals judged in connection with the colts.
 Because of these requests the committee appointed by the Im- perial Valley Breeders associa- ton announces that any other stock besides colts may be enter ed at the show and will be judg- ed. But the association does not undertake to make provision for such other stock and it will be necessary for the owners to ar range for that. There will be plenty of feed on the ground that can be secured at a reasonable price. The committee also an- nounces that all entries to the show must be in by Saturday night, Nov. 30. This is neces- sary because the committee will have to have several days after the entries are closed to make provision for the colts.
 The show will have an import ant bearing on the future of colt raising in the valley and should have the earnest support and CO., operation of everyone in the val ley.

USELESS AGITATION

It is not worth while to discuss the possible outcome of a county seat election contest so long as there is no contest in sight, and 1t is worse than useless to keep up a wrangle that is detrimental to the interests of Imperial Valley. If any citizens of Imperial county think they have good ground for an action to reverse the result of the election. they should go to the courts with their complaint instead of keeping up futile clam or through a newspaper.
 At present there is no election contest and it is extremely inn probable that the courts ever will be called on to order a re- count. Agitation of the matter may be-doubtless is-proftable to few persons having no in- terests in the valley, but it does not promote the welfare of I'm perial or any other town.
 In short every consideration of the common good demands that the proponents of an election con- test either take the matter into court or cease talking about it.

How to Cure a Cold

Be as careful as you can you will oc- casionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability, one that has an established reputation and that is certain to effect quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamber lain S Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by it's remark able cures of this most common ail- ment, and can always be depended upon.
 It acts on natures plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the se- cretiOns and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which 1t has been in general use we have yet to learn of single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneu- monia when this remedy was used, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventative of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult For sale by Fl Centro DTuU Store

BE THANKFUL

Governor Gillett remarks that during the past year our farmers have gathered most bountiful crops. labor has had continued employment at the highest wages ever paid, business has enjoyed unparalleled prosperity and the people generally have been hap py and contented and therefore he sets apart Thursday, Nov. 28, as public holiday and day of Thanksgiving.
 The people of Imperial Valley have additional and special req sons for thankfulness. The dan ger of inundation by the runaway Colorado which menaced the val ley for a long period has been averted, predictions of failure of the irrigation system have been falsifed; success has come to their enterprises; they know and others are learning that theirs IS naturally the richest and destined to be the most prosperous land on Gods green earth; financial squalls that have forced others to shorten sail have passed them by without causing aripple. Ev- cry settler in Imperial Valley is glad he came and thankful that he has found the garden of his dreams.
 And with twenty-five thousand fat turkeys to pick from every one in the valley can follow Gov ernor Gillett's advice and testify to the contentment of his mind in the good old fashioned way.
