FARMERS ORGANIZATION

All representative farmers of the Imperial Valley are requested, in tur- therance of their own interests, to meet at the School House, in hl Cen tro. on Wednesday, May 12, at D. m. with view of perfecting a farmers organization for the purpose of ad- vancing the personal interests of all concerned.
 As advanced at a preliminary meet ing held at El Centro on Saturday, May 1st, large proportion of farmers fail to realize the best markets and re- suits of their work and crops, through want of reliable information regard ing the law of supply and demand in the markets in which the products of their labors must be disposed. The few to whom this information is, at times, available are now sole gathers. An organization perfected along bus mess lines for the purpose of aiding the farmer in every legitimate way will give to all equally the benefit of information concerning supply and de- mand, crops, conditions, future pros poets and good and poor markets that is now available to but a few
 Such an organization is projected is not the work of a day, nor are the results sought to be immediately gained. That the objective may be the sooner reached the cooperation of all this. the initial stage, that its future strength and possibilities may be the more nearly guaged.

ice-President J. A. Graves, of the Farmers and Merchants National brought back with him from the Im- perial Valley this week brand new story, which he tells with great gusto According to him, the valley people have had to send a representative to New York to investigate a serious complaint concerning the shipments of rhubarb. It seems it has been ar irving in a matted, crooked condi- tion, as if the stalks had been squeezed into crate much too short for their holding. When the valley man reach ed the produce dealers and had ex- amined the consignments, he made a startling discovery. It was that the rhubarb had grown three inches after being packed and while en route Gin root) to the Eastern market. He prom ised that on his return the crates should be made several inches longer, to allow for the abnormal growth, when he hoped no further complaints would be heard-L. A. Graphic.

The Most Common Cause of Suffering

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
 Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that is is the most com mon of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamberlain's Eminent will afford re- lief, and make rest and sleep possi- ble. In many cases the relief from pain. which is at first temporary, has become permanent, while in old peo- pie subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, permapent pure cannot be expected; the relief from paN which this liniment affords is alont worth many times It's cost. 25 and csat sizes Or sale by

LIbe Press gives this space to the |W. c. T. U. and is not responsible for the opinions here expressed.l A movement for creating a Moth CTS Fund" for destitute mothers and children has been promulgated in the East, with a desire toward making it q national feature; and since the ,mothers' department and charity are. so, important features of the W. c. TIT U., it is deemed advisable to refer to 1t in this column.
 Los Angeles, under the leadership of Mrs Baker r. Lee has entered with great zest into this much needed form of charity work, and it has been the popular theme of the city during the past week. The Merchants and Man ufactupers' Association has heartily endstsef the movement and has made |qiberal Ndonations, and booths have &Hen maintained in all the leading
 ores in the city where articles of
 othing for mothers and children have 7 een sold for the benefit of this fund # The Mayor made the following pro- lamation: Believing that we honor ourselves in honoring motherhood, and Feeling that the setting apart of a Special day-the second Sunday in May-to be known as Mothers Day, is a beautiful custom destined shortly fo ha o oa4;0poI 1,ol;oov. ooo ,u,-,,o lpride in the fact that Los Angeles is the first city in America to arrange plans for the creation of fund for rDaSte mothers on >that day, as

Apparently Kind Act Leads to Indict- ment on Perjury Charge Recla-

William B. Hammers and Mrs. Jo- sephine Hammers, indicted by the Federal grand jury, charged with per jury, appeared before United States Commissioner owen yesterday and fur nished 5000 bail each. They own sev- eral large ranches in the Imperial Val ley and are said to have good repu- tation in the community in which they reside.
 The charge of perjury against the Hammers arose from an apparently kindly act on their part. Before the clerk of the Imperial County Superior Court they testified to certain im- provements made on the desert land claim of Mrs. Beulah Rose Becker.
 She took an assignment from Gran vile M. Boyer to a valuable piece of valley property and apparently did not complete the necessary reclamation. The Hammers swore that they knew the Improvements had been made. Late testimony tended to show that their s,asa n EAlse.-h A.

GREAT AND SHOWING BUSINESS
 IS THAT OF THE WATSON co.

That tall oaks from little acorns grow" is brought to our notice more and more every day. The truth Of this saying has never been more fully exemplifiel, however, than in the great growth of the Watson Con- uany's business. Starting up only . little more than year ago, in March 1908, in very small way, business has been built up that now covers every Southern and South western state and many of the states of the west and northwest and ex- tending from South Carolina to Wy oming. The business is one of which everyone interested in the boosting of Pine Bluff should feel proud, as large orders have been placed by the largest jobbers throughout the ter ritory mentioned, and every sale is an advertisement for this city be- ing Pine Bluff made, and the beauty of it is that sales repeat some thing that the manufacturer of every
 proprietary remedy most earnestly wishes for.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-05-09
The Watson Company manufa

The Watson Company manufac- ture ten different remedies, four of which are for external use and six to be given internally, none of which they claim to be "cure-au, as each is for different disease, and are strictly for horses, mules or cat tie. That there is great merit in these remedies and that they do cure is attested to by thousands of satis- fled customers, who express their satisfaction, not only in letters writ ten direct to the Watson Company, but to the dealers who handle the remedies; one of the latter cases es- pecially, the Graphic has in mind, Of a dealer at Dudley Lake, Ark, who kept track of twenty sales made by him, of which nineteen gave perfect satisfaction and the same thing is heard from all over their territory.
 An ironclad guarantee is given by the Watson Company with the sale of every dollar size to give satisfac- tion or refund the purchase price and this guarantee is made to the deal- CT. The matter is simply left to the customers honesty. If he says the use of the remedy has not given en-
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-05-09

tire satisfaction, back goes his money. This shows the great faith of the Watson Company in their remedies, and their proposition is bound to prove a winner.
 The Watson remedies are made from the formula of a veterinarian of long years experience and this company now has four consulting veterinarians, it's office and labora- tories being in this city.
 The best testimonial that one can have these days is to be thought we'll of at home. This is thoroughly dem- onstrated in this case, the Watson remedies being handled and sold by sixteen drug stores and supply houses in Pine Bluff, and is in every town on all the roads and railroads lead ing out of the city in every direc- tion.
 The price of the Watson remedies range from 25 cents to $1.00, accord ing to the size of the bottle and the cost of the ingredients that go te make up the article.
 The Watson Company, while doing an excellent business, is not resting on it's oars, but proposes to push the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1909-05-09

sale of it's remedies into every state and territory in the Union, and in the opinion of the Graphic, knowing the merit of the articles manufactured by this company as it does, it will only be question of a short time until they have national reputation even if their sale does not prove world wide.
