MT. Rancher, just minute! A neighbor of ours sent to Chicago for a watch. It was 15 jeweled Waltham, and he brought it to me and asked what the value of it was. He said he paid $8. .45 for it and when told him that I sold that grade of watch of the Jewellers quality at $7.50, he did not look very pleased.
 l have worked in watch factories and also some of the largest jew elry stores, both in England and America, and know what l am talking about when l am talking about watches.
 '"The superintendent of large watch factory, while instructing his classifier, holds in his hands two watches which, in appearance, are exactly the same, but there is great difference. Watch No. 1 is as nearly perfect as human skill can make it, and is sold only through the jewellers and cannot be sold for less than $25. While watch Mo- 2 looks to be the same as No. 1, there is an imperfection. It is true that it has the same number of jewels and all other parts, but you see that some of the jewels are faulty, the pivots don't fit their jewels and the springs are imper- feet. It has been handled roughly and to make it perfect would cost about as much as it would to build new one out and out, and if sent to a jeweler it would come back. So, as matter of course, it is money for the factory to class it second or discontinued, sell it to the mail order department of the catalogue house at one-third less than the first quality or watch No. l, or at a discount of $8.50. The factory has noth- ing further to do with this watch. The mail order house is at liberty to sell it for what they choose. As matter of fact, the mail order house proceeds to catalogue it and sell it to those unaware of the tricks of the trade and who live thousands of miles away"
 I have a good stock of ladies' and gentlemen's watches, guaranteed to be of the first quality, suitable for Xmas presents, and until further notice shall take 25 per cent off the catalogue price, from $1.00 up. Call in and see me be- fore sending outside.

Pepper Trees

A. Harpold of Cotton, who in another column announces that he is prepared to deliver first class pepper trees for planting, states that January and February would be the best time for set ting out the trees in Imperial Valley. Nothing could do more to make the valley attractive than long rows of these beautiful ever green shade trees.

Fl Centro's new Catholic church is now completed. The first services were held in it on Sunday, December 1, the first of the Ecclesiastical year, and a substantial foundation has been laid for a large and influential parish.
 This is one of the first fruits of the efforts of Rev. H. Eum- melen, who came into the valley four months ago, has organized several parishes, built two churches, and has won for him. self host of sincere friends and whose kindly and benefcent in- fuence has been extended un- sparingly to all of whatever denomination or sect.
 Father Eummelen came to I'm perial Valley August 1, having been sent here by Bishop Con- atty. He familarized himself with the conditions in the val ley, noted the prospects for growth and development, and became acquainted with a large number of people. He then or ganized parishes in all the prin- cipal towns and appointed com mittees to handle all funds. In Calexico, the scene of his first efforts, temporary chapel was erected some time ago, after which he devoted most of his time to the building up of an important parish in Fl Centro. The church building, which has just been completed here, is a humble but substantial building suitable and adequate for some time to come. The parish owns four of the finest lots in the city, located on Fifth street, and has paid for the building with the exception of one small pay ment, which will be taken care of in the near future. The parish has splendid location and ample room for a new and more imposing structure later, when the parish has grown suffi- ciently to warrant it.
 The next church will be erect ed at Brawley. In Imperial and Holtville there are we'll organiz- ed parishes, but conditions at present do not justify the imme- diate erection of church build ings. The parishieners of Inn perial prefer for the present to come to Ell Centro and join in the services held here.
 That so much has been accom- plished and so great good wrought in so short a time is eloquent evidence of the exceptional abili- ty and personal magnetism of the kindly Priest, who has work ed unselfishly and untiringly toward the building up of his church and for the general vel fare of all men with whom he comes in contact. The work of taking charge of all the valley parishes has already become too great for one man.
 At present Father Eummelen lis giving two Sundays of each Smonth to El Centro, the other Sundays being devoted to other iparishes. The necessity for an-

Lovers of horses may be delighted
with the distinguished genealogy which
biologists have completed for that IA
vored animal. At least the names of
the horses ancestors look very distin-
guished. Here is the list, with the geo.
logical eras in which each lived, as ar
ranged by Professor W. n. Rice: The
line Of descent begins with Hyracothe-
rum and Eohippus Of the lower eocene
age. Then follow Protorohippus and
Orohippus of the middle eOcene; Epi-
hippus Of the upper eocene; Mesohip-
pus of the oligocene; Anchitherium Of
the lower miocene; Parahippus. Proto-
hippus and Pliohlppus Of the middle
and upper miocene. and finally Equus
of the .pliocene and the quaternary
from which the modern horse directly
descends. Hipparion and Hippidium
represented ancient side branches that
died without descendants.

THE HEART CAN'T STAND
rheumatic Acid Poisoning. To
Free and Correct the Blood a
Uric.O Treatment is Advised.

There is great danger in those sharp, shoot
ing pains through the chest around the region
of the heart 1t means that poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid are there ready to spring
and grip tightly the muscles controlling the
hearts action Don't neglect these warnings,
they are the danger signals Nature flashes to
you for help. You must neutralize and drive
these dangerous poisons from the system, or
sooner or later they will overcome you.
The only true way to cure Rheumatism is to
get at it from the inside with Uiic.O. 1t acts
with marvellous swiftness upon the muscles,
kidneys and blood Clears out the sand-like
deposits in the muscles, forces the kidneys to
perform those duties for which they were
designed and neutralizes the acid within the
blood.
Your physician will admit that this is the
only way to cure rheumatism permanently. and
should know that Uric-O is the one remedy
that will do it successfully and permanently.
Uric-O is liquid taken internally, 3 times
daily and does not contain drop OF alcohol,
opium or other dangerous poisons 1t is good
for rheumatism in any form. Sci tica, mus
cular, inhammatory and articular rheumatism
all yield readily to Uric-O. The store of NJ
r. Burt is the home of Uric-O i1 Middlebury,
and if you call on him, he cad tell you OF
many wonderful cures that Uric-D has made

More Laughter, Les. Suicides.

The physiological benefits of laughter
cannot be overestimated. 1t shakes up
the diaphragm, sets the pulses beating
to a lively measure. stimulates the
blood corpuscles, enlivens the brain
and sometimes produces dislocation of
the jaw when INDUCED in too heartily
by man with a large mouth. Used
with discretion. laughter is as lnspir-
ing as a sea breeze, as refreshing as
an August shower. Its moral effect Is
beyond computation. 1t has killed
more ridiculous superstitions by its
rollicking roars OF unbelief than any
other agency. What can be more de-
risive than laugh? The man who
laughs never kills hlmself.-Exchange

called to make your acquaintance and
bid you welcome to his domain.

das filled with palms and flowers and
furnished with tables. chairs, ham

carpet, were kept in perfect order by

Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese

problem causes no worry to the house
wife. who has but little anxiety in this
land of plenty.
Everybody seems to take life easily.
The offices close very early and no one
seems to know what care is. The sug
ar barons. their capital once rightly in
vested, draw their dividends, and the
rest of life is required to spend them.

with a shower above. Servants are
provided for in quarters apart from the

The Best Fertilizer for Seeding

Farmers who are looking for first
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was de.
vised by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station at Burlington and
published in Bulletin No 1l6 of the
station. The amounts named are for
one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, so to 20 lbs.
The ingredients of this mixture are all
recognized as valuable fertilizing agents
but with the exception of Ashes they
heretofore have been difficult to obtain
in the markets of Vermont. This condi-
ton is now changed and all the materi-
ais of the formula-except the ashes,
which the farmer can usually furnish
himseIf-can be purchased of Carroll S.
Page, Hyde Park, Vt, who will be
pleased to make quotations on applica-
ton.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid Phos-
plate he sells are the purest that can be
bought and his Raw Ground bone is
guaranteed to be absolutely pure and
the best the market affords. The Bone
which he offers is simply the finer par

AFRAID OF PARALYSIS
A NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red

Tonic for the Nerves,

Blood and Performs Wonders az a
Tonic for the Nerves,
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because Of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit.
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
