MILL PROPERTY SOLD FOR A SONG
Golden Investment Of $4,000
Brings Only $1,000 Under
the Hammer.

The Golden mill, which has been
closed down for a period of two years,
was sold Monday morning under mort
gage foreclosure proceeding forsl 500,
the successful bidder being Louis
Bloemke, a well-to-do farmer.
The mortgage, to satisfy which the
public sale was held, was for a trifle
more than Sc, 900 and was held by a
Sleepy Eye bank. The bank, however,
will lose nothing through the sacri-
fee sale, as it is amply secured
through personally signed notes.
Now that the mortgage is out Of the
way, it is quite likely that the stock
holders will look about for a buyer at
something like respectable figure,
and, finding one, will cause the prop
erty to be redeemed.
Originally the mill cost over 81 900.

A Striking Portrait Of Wonderful Man
By Thomas Lawson.

Henry b. Rogers is new beyond the
reach of man. camera. History will
linn his past; his future is in the
keeping of his maker. Both are mex
orable in their mercy and draconian
in their justice, and neither play
favorites. It is writ that ''what We
have sown, that shall We reap
There came time when was at
duty's call, head-on, and I could not
shirk. I painted the portrait of this
great man, for he was indeed great,
and I pinned tito the wings Of time.
For that deed must answer, for there
will come a day when I, too, must
pass the grim guardian and cross the
portal of eternities. Thus cropped of
cunning and thronged with truth, I
must abide the verdict. If I have
painted falsely, my punishment will be
flameful, for we are taught that in the
ever there is no sunset.
That I painted into this mans por-
trait Glowing son, 'sideal husband,'

for they but background the grizzled
brutality of fostered wrong in which
I red and-yellowed the dweller of my
foreground, nor can I salve the burns
of everlasting retribution with the

newspapers will give their readers
facts and opinions, which will at any
rate not hinder peace and not inflame
passion. Thus we come back to the
people, who are the ultimate masters
both Of the government and of the
press.
At this moment all the governments
are, | venture to believe, honestly
DESTROYS of peace. Not one of them
has any cause for war. Not one of them
but would lose far more than it could
gain. It is apparently possible for
those who desire, from whatever
motives, to stir up suspicion and
enmity to succeed in convincing each
nation that the other has designs upon
it.
Would not better knowledge of
each nation by the other nations do
something to dispel these suspicious?
But it should also try to ascertain
whether the dangers it is told to pro-
vide against are real or illusory.
Suspicion breeds suspicion, and ma
tlons have sometimes come to fear
and dislike one another only because
each was necessarily told. that it was
disliked by the other.
Thirty or forty years ago there was
good deaf of this suspicion between
Britain and the United States. Better
knowledge by each nation of the other
has extinguished that feeling and
substituted for it genuine friendship
which will, we may feel sure, at once
recur TO arbitration for the settlement
OF any question that may arise. Why
should this not be done as regards
the other powers also?

A Word in Behalf Of Peace
By Ambassador Bryce.

All nations, both of this hemisphere
and of the other, have every possible
treason for endeavoring to keep the
peace. Interest, as we'll as conscience
and duty, prescribe that course.
Nevertheless, when we remember how,
often before, governments and nations,
that had every interest to keep the
peace, allowed themselves to be drawn
into war, and how disproportionate
it's causes were to the real interests
involved, we cannot be sure that the
same thing may not occur again, and
we must ask once again: "Why is it
that good resolutions are so often
forgotten? Why is the practice of
nations SO much worse than their
theory?"
One of the answers most often given
is that ill-feeling between nations
leading up to war is due to the news
papers, which, when a dispute arises
between two peoples, are accused of
misrepresenting purposes and senti-
ments Of the other peoples, and so
leading each people to believe itself
wholly in the right and the other
wholly in the wrong.
It is not my business to defend the
newspapers. But, in the interests of
truth and justice, it must be asked
whether it is really they that are to
blame. In every country newspapers
reflect the wishes Of the people and are
what the people make them. So, if the
people wish thatthe newspapers should
show truly pacific spirit, friendly to
other nations, anxious to know in
case of an International dispute what
is the case of the other nation, then the

ADVERTISE FOR IMMIGRATION
Bankers Of State Begin to See the
Need Of More Publicity.

Minnesota bankers, in their move
ment to promote immigration and
advertise the possibilities of Mime
sofas farming lands, started move
ment at Sleepy Eye last Friday which
bids fair to be of great Importance
to the state.
''The bankers, . said one of them in
speaking of the movement, shave
awakened to the fact that it IS not
enough for them to know that Minne-
sofa lands are better than those from
Texas to Canada that are advertised
so freely in our state. The farmers
who till the land must know it, and
the thousands OF investors in other
states must be made to know it.
'To aid immigration and prevent
an exodus to other fields, the bankers
aim to create a standing agricultural
committee of the state association
which will act as a sort of clearing
house of information bearing on land
values and the adaptability of lands
to different crops.
cit was suggested at Sleepy Eye
that each of the groups OF the asso-
citation in the nine congressional
districts of the state appoint com
mittee for its particular territory and
engage man to give his whole time
to the work of gathering statistics Of
the agricultural possibilities OF his
section and give them publicity. It is
a big movement and should lead to
big results. .

Pure Rot.
In Providence, Rhode Island, there
IS a factory from which is daily ousted
a lot of refuse matter -offal, pure rot.
For the removal of this stuff there was
paid annually from two to three thou
sand dollars.
And this ''rot" was conceded, by
all, to be without utility.
But along comes a man who looks a
little deeper and analyses this 'spure
rot AS result we now pay good
money for "Horsford's Acid Phos.
phate,'' produced out of this very
same stuff, and Mr.. Horsford writes
yearly check for SIS, 900 for the pri-
vilege of taking away the ''pure rot'
that had always been considered use
less.
Thus it is, at times, with thoughts
and ideas.
They are, by the superficial passed
by, mptuously rejected and desig-
mated as "pure rot.'' Then come
along some people who look deeper
who go to the bottom and lind truth
and utility in what is rejected by the
many as error and without usefulness.
All of us are not endowed with the
equipment necessary to thus analyze
our conditions and surroundings and
are therefor not to be blamed. Nor
should those who are capable of prob
ing to the bottom assume airs of SUI
periority simply because they happen
TO be thus favorably equipped.
What would try TO make clear is
this, that it is we'll not to hold to
opinions too tenaciously, ever remain
ing ready to change them for better
when better ones are found. A. G.

Congressman Sharp of Ohio was
outlining his creed the other day.
1T want protection for every industry
until it is able to stand on it's own
feet.'
Congressman James of Kentucky,
who was a patient listener, came back
quick.
''I'll go that far; I'll favor protecting
Industries until they can stand on
their own feet, but don't feel like
continuing that protection until they
stand upon everybody else's feet
!" Nobody ever pledged me, says
Senator Lodge, 'sto revise the tariff
downward, or to revise it upward"
A careful reading of the Chicago plat
farm indicates that Senator Lodge is
technically correct. However, if any
man had arisen in that convention,
and said that the platform did not
mean revision downward in some
directions, Mr.. Taft would now be
practicing law in Ohio Minneapolis

Gilbert Gutterson, the erstwhile
congressional aspirant, has purchased

was good advertiser and didn't
mind seeing his features in print

Heavy Hitting Team Drubs Yuma and Increases Advantage in Race

CLUB STANDING

Nagle was not equal to the task of holding the heavy hitting league leaders down Sunday, and El Centro defeated Yuma to 4 Home runs were again a feature, McKune getting two and Vance and EasteCly each putting one over the fence.
 Holtville lost to Imperial 3 to 1. Wiggs was not hit hard, all three of the Imperial runs being made on wild throws to first base. Scott was wild in the first inning. forcing in one run by giving three consecutive bases on balls. After that he had the Holtville batters at his mercy.
 Brawley and Calexico played a close game last Saturday. Brawley winning to s. The result was in doubt un- til the latter half of the ninth inning, the game being characterized through out by much hitting and loose field ing.
 Saturday Fl Centro will play at Cal exico and Yuma at Imperial. On Sun day Brawley will play at Imperial.
 The season is just half over this week and Fl Centro has three full games advantage over the next teams. The second half of the season may bring about some important changes in the percentage column. Imperial is almost certain to forge ahead, now that Scott is pitching and Althizer has been signed for shortstop. Yuma

WEEK OF BAD WEATHER
Valley Suffers With Rest of the Country, But No Damage is
 Done by the Frost.

The severe weather that has pre- vailed throughout the country for the past week has been felt in Imperial Valley Cloudy skies, light rains and unusually low temperature have been disagreeable features of the incle- ment spell, and valley residents have been grouchy for many days. The weather conditions have been unusual but not unprecedented old timers say the weather was worse eight years ago. The lowest temperature observed this year was 27 above ze- TO last Sunday morning. In some exposed places 1t was two or three degrees lower, no doubt, and ice of some thickness was formed upon shallow bodies of water.
 The important fact is that no in jury was done to young orange trees in the valley If the citrus trees en- dure without injury the coldest wealth CT observed in eight years, it may be assumed safely that the valley is adapted to orange and lemon culture.
 It was reported on Thursday that great damage had been done by frost in the groves of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, but there was no basis in fact for the report. The cold seems to have been less severe in Redlands than in the valley, all though the mountains between the valley and the coast are covered with snow. During Thursday might the sky cleared and on Friday morning the valley was flooded with sun shine and the normal cheerfulness of the desert dwellers was restored

Thereto.

Pure Food Commissioner Ladd is
about to inaugurate campaign
among the meat and fish dealers OF
the state, in which fowls and fish
which have heretofore been on the
market undrawn and kept there fol
over "a hours in that condition, will
in the future be tabooes.
Instructions in pamphlet form have
been prepared by Commissioner Ladd
and will be sent broadcast through
the state so that all dealers will be
instructed in good time before the
active enforcement of"the law, as ii
is understood by the commissioner, Is
begun.
1t is understood that when the
dealers keep killed fowl or fish over
"a hours before dressing same they
are violating the pure food law, and
these violators, who at present may
be ignorant of the law, will be es.
pecially prodded by the commissioner
as soon as instructions Aave been
sent out and time given for adhering

that instead of taking up the animals
