Two Rules for Good CARRIAGE.

If you are walking along the street
and wake up to the fact that you are
carrying yourself poorly take the men
tai attitude of standing straight, as
well rs the physical one Look at the
men you meet and imagine that each
of them owes you a dollar. Put even
4 suggestion of arrogance into your
position. Hold your head well back;
look people squarely in the face. This
will not only give the impression to
others that you possess the power you
want, but it will actually tend to bring
that power. Keep the neck against
the collar.-World's Work.

Proper Method Of WALKING.

To derive any real benefit from
walking, the step must be light and
elastic; swing the body so easily from
one leg to the other that its weight
is not felt. The harmonious play Of
the muscles imparts a supple grace
and litheness that is felt mentally as
well as physically, and produces a
healthy glow, showing that the slug
gish blood is stirred to action in the
most remote veins. This n Of
walking, as may be imagined
strengthens the whole body, giving
tone to the nerves and producing just
the sort of healthful fatigue which
encourages sound rest and beautiful
alumber.

A rumor came from Imperial this week to the effect that Edit or Howe, of the Imperial Stand ard, called his employers togeth- CT the first of the week and begged of them to release him from the editorship of that paper, that he might return to his home is Los Angeles. It was also rumored that inasmuch as no other man could be found who would so suc- cessfully misrepresent things as can Howe, it was decided to in- sist on his staying until after election. Mir. Howe's home is in Los Angeles and as he has abso- lutelv no interest in the valley it is no more than natural that he should wish to go where his in- terests are. And i! the Imperial push really think the misrepre- sentations and reckless falsehoods Howe writes for the Standard does the town any good 1t IS not to be wondered at that they would have hard time to fill his place, for most newspaper men take a pride in putting real facts before the people and ninety-nine out of any hundred men whom the Imperial push could hire would absolutely refuse to lend their pen to distorting facts or to try to injure the character of any honest, upright, public spirited man, just so they might gain a political point. Yes, indeed, such another man would be hard to find.
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1907-06-29
A CAMPAIGN or PRIESTHOOD

It seems to be the idea of some newspapers especially the one at Imperial that the way to conduct a campaign is to 1u every way you can lie about something or somebody. You must accuse people of doing things they never even thought of doing. To in- sist that the other fellow has stolen something and that he must then be robber and should be treated as such. You certain ly must never tell the truth or eyer say anything which would in nyway cause anyone to even suspect the truth.
 It is this sort of campaign Howe is trying to conduct for Imperial in the county seat fight. Honesty and truthfulness seems to be utterly foreign to his make up. He tries to appeal to mans baser nature, tries to stir up a bitter hatred against those who have done the most for the Inn perial Valley, simply because those same people do not happen to be in favor of Imperial. It has come to be practically dis grace to Imperial and shame to the Imperial Valley that such a falsitying paper is allowed to be published. The citizens of Inn perial apologize for what the pa per prints and for its editor say ing he does not voice their senti- ments and such apologies have been accepted by most of the people in good faith, but it is now becominga question through ,  out the valley whether this be so or not. If the people of that town do not countenance the mis- statements of their paper and do not believe in the blackmailing tactics it uses, why do they allow its publication and support its editor.
 One thing is comforting to the people who are the objects of his attacks: Howe's peridy in the past and his absolute subjugation by the Imperial Land Co.,, the old c. D. Go. push and his past record as being always agalnst the interests of the Imperial Val ley settler are facts so we'll known that there is a sort of sickening dull noise wherever his foolish, silly, malicious falsehOods fall.

 Friday and Saturday, Sunday and Monday are the days the ed itors of Southern California have been invited to spend at Coron- ado as the guests of Menager Hammond and the San Diego chamber of commerce. It is ex- pected that the boys will have the time of their lives at the city of bay and climate.
 The one thing that makes the more or less doubtful have more faith in Ell Centro than in it's competitor is the very fact that people are buying property here every day. Last weeks rush for property showed very plainly that Fl Centro was looked upon as the town that had proved its faith in the Im mperial Valley and the people who live in the town were willing to put their money in and make of it as attractive a place as possible; the buildings are so much superior in every way and who does not like the neat appearing town? Buyers of property who came to the valley to invest did not acquire any real estate in the town of Fl Centro until they had looked the valley over thoroughly. This makes it all the more encouraging to the workers for El CentrO, as it tends to show that the people are with them.
 The Imperial Standard makes the assertion that Imperial in- tends to keep clear of anything pertaining to the officers of the new county; that all 1t wants is the county seat. Now that seems hardly fair to some of the people in the town of Imperial. We know several men in that place who are the finest sort of people, and we have also heard several people say that they would make very honest and capable county officials and it seems pity that just because Imperial wants the county seat it will not get in and help any of her aspiring candi- dates to office. What the new county wo",> |, "i"Dr,, wnU arc absolutely honest and thoroughly capable and if man from the town ot Imperial IS needed 10 m the bill wLy should hc not be supported?

GREAT PEACE CONFERENCE
is CALLED TO ASSEMBLE
in SAN FRANCISCO SOON

San, Francisco, July 1S.-To bring
about peace between the warning in
dustrial elements of San Francisco and
correct the widespread impression in
the East that it is unsafe to invest cap
ital in this city are the objects of the
national peace conference called by
the Cancellation committee of San
Francisco.
1.-THE purpose of this meeting will be
to disabuse the minds of capitalists
and investors of the country of the
idea that San Francisco has been
ruined by industrial warfare and that
it is not safe place to invest in. The
numerous false reports have worked
incalculable damage to the city and
we are taking this measure to put an
end to them" This is a statement con
corning the conference made by Pres
ident Tracey, of the Cancellation com
mittee.
Prominent men from all parts OF
teh country have been invited to come

and see for themselves the true con-

the National Civic Federation will
likely be organized as result of the
conference. Numerous prominent men,
representing both capital and labor,
will deliver addresses. In planning
the peace congress the Cancellation
committee has had the assistance of
the San Francisco chamber of COM
merce, the California Promotion Com
mittee, the Civic. League, the Califor-
mia Club and numerous other local
and national organizations.
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of
the University of California, is one
of the leaders in the movement and
