WAREHOUSE FOR HONEY
Plans for Storage of Valley Crop at Fl Centro-Limit on Apiaries.

The Imperial Valley Bee Keepers Association has decided to levy an as sessment of twenty cents a colony on each bee-keeper holding membership in the association for the purpose of erecting a honey warehouse ill Ell Centro.
 The bookkeeping industry has devel- oped into one of such importance that it is believed far better results may be obtained through the storage of the crop at one central point and market ing from this store as the demand justifies.
 Another important action taken by the association is to provide for a bureau of information at Ell Centro for the use of prospective bee-keep- CTS in the valley. They will be given information as to peculiarities of bee keeping here and the present location of apiaries. It is the purpose of the association to discourage the location of any apiary within two miles of any apiary now established.

INTERESTED IN COTTON.

All Southern California will be inter ested in the announcement that the plan to establish cotton growing on a commercial scale in the Imperial Val ley is taking definite shape and ap- pears likely to be successfully carried out People will hope that the Imper- ial Valley farmers will give cotton growing a thorough test. The estab- lishment of that industry on large scale means an important addition to the wealth of Southern California as well as the more direct profit to the cotton growers. Nor does there seem even a remote chance of failure. Elk perts are of the opinion that the great staple of the South will be unusually prolific in the Imperial country, and this view has been borne out by prac- tical tests. Unless all signs are at fault, the Imperial Valley may be come as famous for it's cotton as it already is for other products.-San Diego Union.

CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS

Our young people wishing to im- prove their finances by securing a good position in the Govt. service, will be interested to know that on Oct. IA and 2S examinations will be held in San Bernardino. Cal. for long list If Govt positions.
 r These places usually pay about $900 TO $1600 year to begin with, the work is light, the hours short the positions permanent For years the Govt. has had trouble to secure enough help to meet the needs of the service due tc the fact that so few know about pre- pairing for and securing such positions.
 The examinations are held in the same building occupied by San Der nardino Business College and Civil Service Institute, which is said to be the only school in California making speciality of coaching for the U. s. Civil Service and assisting young peo- pie to secure Govt positions. Full particulars can no doubt be had by writing the school. 26-1t

BUSY BUILDERS
No Suspension of Work in Hot Wealth er-LiVeiy Fall Campaign of
 Construction.

Fl Centro was fortunate the past summer season, in that there was no time in which building operations were suspended. Right through the hot test weeks building progressed, brick walls were laid and frame structures arose, until the days slid along into the fall with no perceptible dull sea son.
 Now, however, with the return of many citizens who were away on va cations, contractors and lumber deal CTS note an increased activity that bids fair to keep up throughout the entire winter. Every part of the city is feeling this impetus.
 A brief review of the work now in progress will give an idea of what is being accomplished in El Centro to- day.
 J. w. Lindsay, who has built and sold two residences in El Centro, has work well under way on large cot tage on the south side of Brighton street. between Fifth and Sixth streets. He is building for his own home, and as soon as this is com Dleted he will begin the erection Of a cottage for rental.
 M. c .Bosworth has the frame raised for a cottage on the south side or Olive streeI. adjoining his own res idence, and has the lumber on the ground for another cottage just to the west of the new building. Both or these cottages were rented before they were started.

navy should be treated as a purely mill
tary organization. and everything should
be subordinated to the one object of Sc
curing military efficiency.. A system
of promotion by merit, either by selec-
ton or by exclusion, or by both
processes. should be introduced. 1t is out
of the question. II the present principle
of promotion by mere seniority is kept,
to expect to get the best results from the
higher officers. Our men come too old,
and stay for too short a time, in the high
command positions.
Nothing better for the navy from every
cruise of the battle feet around the
world. The Improvement of the ships in
every way has been extraordinary. and
they have gained far more experience
in battle tactics than they would have
gained II they had stayed in the Atlantic
waters. The American people have cause
for profound qualification. both in view
of the excellent condition of the fleet a.
shown by this cruise, and In view of the
improvement the cruise has worked in
this already high condition. do not
believe that there Is any other service In
the world in which the average Of char
acter and efficiency in the enlisted men
is as high as is now the case in our own.
