frequently seen water fowl shot with

Looking Forward.

The bulk of 1907 crop has been sold
at an average of II cents or less. Last
year the worlds spindles called for s.
100000 bales of American cotton from
March / to September l. March l this
year there were 2,250,000 bales or less
in America. This remnant if held off
the market until THY SPINNER HAS
TO BID FOR IT, would bring Is cents
at least. Part of it would sell for 20
cents.
The difference is 4 cents a pound
$40 a bale.
This means s50,OOO,OO0 for the grow.
ers and holders of cotton in the South.
It's all profit.
Is this worth fighting for, or not?
This sum would mean 50 of those
million-dollar factories, and THE COT
TON RAISERS WOULD OWN THEM.
Some day the cotton planters of the
South will raise just as much cotton
as they haul direct in their own wag
ons to the nearest cotton mill IN
WHICH THEY OWN MOST OF THE
STOCK.
They'll get good prices for the cotton
and good dividends on their stock in
the mills. The farmers sons can be
trained to manage and operate these
mills.
But you'll never see this day until all
cotton growers are enrolled in one
army, under one command, and act
unitedly in all things for this end. 1t
cannot be done unless ALL CON TRlB-
UTE EQUAL LOYALTY. 1t cannot
be done where each man is law unto
himself, regardless of his neighbor.-

There is no use in trying to main
tain prices for anything of which more
is produced than there is a demand
for. The price may be held up arti-
ficially by not selling for less than a
stated price when one does sell, but
the thing resolves itself into the con-
dition of not selling at all at least
part of the stock. This means that
the 15-cent price is an easy matter,
but at the same time it also means
that you can plant so much more cot
ton than ought to be planted that
there will be a surplus on hand even
if Is cents be the price at which sales
are made.

If there Is chapter anywhere in
the book of nature that justifies hui
man society in letting one man so
manipulate the ground that he can sit
down in idleness and live on the fruits
Of another mans labor, we would
thank some one to point out that

never written such a chapter. Greed

It Is a part of the human lot to find
what one is hooking for, and it was
this peculiar trait that Josh Billings
had in mind when he remarked,
When a man kums tn me for ad-
vice, l find out what kind he wants,
and | give it tn him, and he goes
down the street thinking that him
and me are the smartest men in
town." There are those who are al
ways looking for reason to throw
down the projects to which they are
not allied. 1t is no great trouble to
find some men in the Union who are
a discredit to it, if that is the sort
you are looking for. They are in
every organization on earth, and 1t
will always be SO. To relieve your
liver of it's spleen, turn about and look
for the good men and women enrolled
under the banner of Unionism, and
you will find host whom you will be
glad to join. 1t is all dependent upon
your viewpoint. Change the viewpoint
every time you get to feeling mean or
blue.

What is certain to be an eff fective advertising campaign for Imperial county is now well un- der way. The Sunset for Au- gust carries the first of a series of page advertisements. The September number will have in addition to the advertisement a pictorial write-up of the valley. This advertising has been pro- vided by the Imperial County Chamber of Commerce and the same body has arranged for the publication of 10000 illustrated booklets. The Ten Thousand Club of El Centro is sending out monthly tracts or bulletins giv- ing accurately and concisely much valuable information. The Club is also sending out great many letters concerning pros pective improvements. Best of all, the five newspapers of the county continue to spread the news far and wide that Imper- ial Valley is an ideal spot for the investor, homeseeker and farmer and business man. The result of this advertising will be seen this fall when thousands of enthusiastic men and women will come here to locate.

It will be a boom of the best and safest kind for it will represent a sane and stable growth; boom that cannot be punctured because it will sup ply only what the necessities of the community demand and will be supported by so rich and pro- ductive a country that no part of the values will be in any way artificial or forced.

Midsummer visitors to the Valley are amazed at the magni- tude of the building operations in the county, especially in El Centro and Imperial. The pop ular idea outside that the fur ther development of the new county must wait for cooler weather will have to be revised. Our progress is too rapid and we have too many things to ac- complish this year to permit any cessation of operations even in our most uncomfortable season.
