WASTED ENERGIES.

The Elks are going to have "A great
time at Los Angeles. California. July
1l-l7, and the railroads have been ad-
vertising long and loud. The fare for
the round trip is $57. % and tickets can
be bought June "A to July II. This
is a great opportunity for a pleasant,
outing, whether you are an Elk or not.
But this is not all we started in to
say.
just at the foot of the grade, after
you cross the mountains, is IA beauti-
ful little city of about 5000 popula-
tion. in the most beautiful and the
most pleasant part of the San Bernar-
dino valley in the heart of the orange
and lemon belt--in fact, it is city OF
groves and palms, and is the gateway
to Southern California and less than
SO of the people visiting California
pass through these gates entirely uG-
mindful that there is such a place, and
in case you ask the trainmen, they
will advise you to stop at Redlands,
San Bernardino or RiverSide-and
why? This short paragraph from the
Chronicle answers the question very
clearly:
IF Cotton doesn't intend doing the
hOnors to the ElkS when they come
through here next month, she certain
ly ought to get up spunk enough to
put up sign board that will show what
station this is.
San Bernardino, three miles away,
but not near so beautiful and pleas
ant, will meet the Elks at Cotton and
escort them over to that city, while
poor old Cotton will do her Native
Son stunt, like thousands of other
towns, and swivel and dry up of her
own seliishneSs.

SO far as Cotton is concerned, his
energies are wasted.

YOU KNOW EN-.

The woods is full of people who
take more papers than they can find
time to read and as consequence
do not need their home paper.
Go to their homes and you will find
that their ''papers" consist mostly of
almanacs and Sears & Roebuck' 5
catalogues, and their box at the post
Office is filled weekly with mail order
circulars.
These people sell their produce, but
ter and eggs to the home merchant for
cash, and when they get home they
order their goods from the catalogue
houses,
There is no use talking to man of
this kind. His almanacs and his cata-
logues are law and gospel.
He gets lot of catalogue informa-
tion into his head and imagines that
he is wiser than the wisest business
man in town. He believes every word
he reads in the catalog and discredits
his home merchant.

A man in Oklahoma was injured in

CLEAN UP.

There are some stables in this town
that need attention. No man has a
right to maintain nuisance, and a
loud smelling stable comes pretty near
being that.
1t is bad enough to have to walk
around COWS and hogs on the side
walks and have your flowers and gar
den spoiled by neighbors who want to
convert the town into chicken pas
ture for their own benefit, and if the
town must be burdened with this class
of people who have no respect for the
rights of others, it is as little as we
could ask that they should be required
to keep their premises in decent con-
dition.
Inside the city limits is no place for
stock and poultry business, and the
City of Hayti has the most stringent
laws along this line. These laws
ought to be enforced.

What .lasss dsto6ished more than.
.aIy5hing else is the extent Of our
industries, THE numbers and capt.

and the volume of its output. This
arises FROM the fact that there are
no commanding industries here

with a possible exception of the
beer industry, and attention has
not been directed to the scores

This is equally true of other de-

the way of hotels, flats, rooming

growth in every direction. There
has been no one direction in

more rapidly to the front within
the past year than IN her provi-
