THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF IMPERIAL COTTON Planting Will Begin Soon and Extend Through Month
 of May,
Southern Planter Positive. That This is Best Soil and Climate in United States for Cotton Growth-Machin- cry Ordered by American Nile Com pany.

Orders for 15,000 pounds of cotton seed have been booked by the Amer ican Nile Cotton Company at its of- flee in El Centro, and as soon as the planters finish the work of preparing land, the seed will be taken out and planted. Warm weather is somewhat laggard in it's arrival this year, and it will be safe to plant up to the first of June, in the opinion of cotton ex- perts.
 From all the data now accessible, it is safe to estimate about 1000 acres as the cotton acreage ill the center of the valley this year. The seed al- ready spoken for will plant half that area. By the middle of May it will be possible to make fairly con- plete statement of the number of acres devoted to Imperial Valleys first venture in cotton growing on a commercial scale.
 B. F. McDonald who was a cotton planter in Louisiana and Texas for many years, has 320 acres of land in district twelve and proposes to put as much of it into cotton this year as possible He says he will plant in May and June
 Mir. Mcdonald has observed the eX- periments conducted in this region for some years and says there is no question at all that cotton makes bet ter growth here than in any other part of the United States. He sees no reason why anyone should hesi- tate to plant cotton ill Imperial Val ting are more favorable here than else- 1 where, water is absolutely under con- trol of the grower, and there can be no failure of crop properly culti- Vated The land is richer than in the old cotton states, and it will be easy to produce at least two bales to the acre.
 MT. Mcdonald says cotton does not need much stirring of the soil during growth of the plant. The important thing is to avoid forcing the growth and to keep it regular. It is import ant not to let the regular growth stop 1 when the plant begins to fruit. The plant should be watched closely and 1 supplied with enough water, but not over watered.
 If any farmers in his neighborhood wish for advice in the management of 1 their cotton fields, MT Mcdonald will l gladly put his experience and knowl- edge at their service. He is confident that cotton growing will do more than anything else to establish a standard value of land and enhance the value of property and products generally
 Comparison of samples of fibre talk en from a lot of Mebane cotton grown in Texas with samples from Ira Aten's field near El Centro is distinctly fav- orablc to the local product The El Centro fibre is pure white firm in texture, clean and long. The Texas cotton is tinged slightly with yellow by dew and eXudation from the. shell of the boil and the fibre is shorter and more fuzzy. The El Centre fibre grades much higher than the Texas product

You may have noticed here at home,
or elsewhere as you travel about, that you
can.tell: something about the character of
a community by the way the people in it
dress. Clothes don't make the man-but
they're pretty good index of his general
characteristics.
We're all of us apt to forget this-to
think about clothes as we do about food,
without much consideration of their in
fuence beyond the immediate moment of
buying them.
But it's fact that good clothes and
the cultivation of a taste for good clothes
does influence man and communicated
naturally since that's true, the better the
clothes the better the inf1uence-and in
the end the better the community and the
men in it,
Now, we're in the clothing business
we want to do it in a way that will benefit
and profit us, of course. And were smart
enough to see that what benefits the
the whole community, benefits the mem
bers of it-we're members of this commu-
nifty. That's just why we make a special
ty of selling such good clothes because
they're the best clothes to accomplish for
you and for us the things clothes can do
The fact that the fabrics are the best
is importantly proves to the wearer by
actual experience that the best is really
economical-that while it costs more han
cheap mixtures, it's worth more than it
costs The fact that these are stylish
clothes, correct in detail, is another point
such clothes develope and encourage
tastes in dress-men are better because
they look better and feel it.
The perfect tailoring and hnish-the
attractive patterns and colors-the fine,
choice imported or domestic fabrics-all
these things are to be expected of clothes
that have so perfectly shown the other i'm
portant points.
You must see these clothes this season
there are no other such goods to be had
in this place or any other place-they're
the finest, highest class of clothes made
And we sell them as service to you as
we'll as for profit to us.
For $1,000 you can have
selection from a pretty nice line
of suits and overcoats--at
$500 and $500 there is
large variety of fine styles and
patterns--and the strictly Hart
Schaffner & Marx models from
$4,000 to $4,000.

USUALLY ONE DOSE
 ENDS INDIGESTION OR DYSPEPSIA
A LITTLE DIAPEPSIN RELIEVES
 STOMACH MISERY IN FIVE MINUTES

As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of indi- gestion or some form of stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Dia, pepsin in the house handya
 This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy stomach, five minutes after.
 Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula plainly printed on these 5O-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes indigestion. Sour stomach, heartburn and other distress go in five minutes and relieves at once such miseries as belching of gas, eructations of sour, un- digested food, naseau, headaches, dig ziness, constipation and other stomach disorders.
 Some folks have tried so long to find relief from indigestion and dyspepsia or an out.of.order stomach with the common everyday cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is case of nervousness, gastritis, catarrh of the stomach or cancer.
 This, no doubt, is serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to acid gas and stomach poison which purify in the digestive tract and intestines, and besides, poi son the breat with nauseous odors.
 hearty appetite with thorough di- gestion, and without the slightest dis comfort or misery of the stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Pape's Diapepsin.
