Taggart, and which must be filled at the ensuing general election, the following explanation of the situation will be of benefit to voters and will aid them to intelli- gently cast their votes for this impor- tant judicial office:

WOMAN SUPERINTENDENT
Voters Asked to Make Miss punham
 Head of County School System.

Some sixty odd citizens of Imperial County sign a circular letter to the voters asking them to vote for Miss Florence A. Dunham for County su- perintendent of Schools. The letter says in part:
 Miss Florence A. Dunham is a life long teacher, trained through the grades, master of the entire system familiar with the latest phases of school work, and with the methods which have so greatly changed in the past few years. She is energetic progressive and a masterful organizer. Those who know her best and longes! testify to her great power for work. and to her executive ability. She would prove a wise helper to tho teachers throughout the county.
 Miss Dunham was called to the nrincipalship of the Brawley Union High School two years ago. There she demonstrated her executive ability The second year she introduced the Commercial, Manual Training and Do- mestic Science departments These proved their practical value. Those who were in touch with her work testified to her unqualified success. Miss Dunham has proven her power right here, as a teacher. an organizer and an executive. She has the courage of her convictions. and meets and discharges responsibilities. She has had business training and a prac- teal life"

WANTED,:,-A LEGISLATOR
Imperial County Voters Have oppor- tunity to Perform Important Duty.

Imperial County needs a represen- tative in the State Legislature in order that matters affecting the interests of the valley settlers may be presented intelligently, adequately and to some purpose. The settlers may find it necessary to ask for notifications of the irrigation law, and they should have in Sacramento a man who can tell the Legislature what they want and why their requests should be granted.
 Two years ago, San Diego County agreed that Imperial County should have the Assemblyman this time, but a San Diego County man is a candidate for the place again. Many of the voters of that county recognize the justness of Imperial County's demand for representation, and will supporr our candidate, H. J. Messinger, of Holtville.
 MT. Messinger's party affiliations have nothing to do with the case He is a candidate only because Imperial County should be represented, and he is an active, energetic, experienced business man, well qualified to dis charge the duties of an Assemblyman. Every citizen of the county regardless of party, should vote for the Imperial Valley man. His name will be found in the middle of the second column of the county ticket, and it should be the especial care of every voter to find the name and place a cross against it. That is the way to place Imperial County upon the map of the State. 30-2t

DESERT DATE ORCHARDS
Growing of Fruit in oaIton Basin a Demonstrated Success, Says
 Expert

Date growing in the desert regions of Southern California has passed be- yond the purely experimental stage and become a demonstrated success.
 Government bulletin No. 92, issued in 1906 by the United States depart ment of agriculture, says:
 "'The study of the life history of the date palm has shown that in the Salton basin the long hot summers, the very dry atmosphere and almost complete absence of rain during the Towering and ripening season of the date palm, render the climate par ticularly adapted to the culture of the choice late ripening sorts, such as the famous Deglet Moor. At the same time the presence of an abundant supply of water of excellent quality and the extreme fertility of the soil render the conditions unusually pro pitious for the establishment of this profitable fruit culture
 Salton basin is not only the most promising region in the United States for the culture of the best sorts of dates, says F. w. Stevens, of Indio. but it is actually better adapted than those parts of the Sahara desert where the best export dates are produced.
 It is possible to start a seeding date orchard at very little expense, and with reasonable hope of commer cial success, and with a good chance of securing fine varieties, which can be gotten in no other way.
 For each 250 date seedlings set out in proper form in a suitable location the department of agriculture will give, until further notice, one or two off shoots from imported date palms, Under these terms therefore it is pos sible for the grower to establish a fair sized orchard of date palms at a very little expense.
 The department of agriculture has on hand some thousands of the choic- est varieties in the world, now avail able for distribution.

The Parr Reward.

reported that Parr hoped that the gov
eminent would allow him a greater sum.

SUFFICIENT reward had ever come into the
courts a jury would have granted Parr

true the fact that he would probably
have performed that duty faithfully with
out hope OF any extraordinary reward. The
duty he performed was an exceedingly
difficult one. 1t required skilled detective
work and a firm determination to resist

he did it so well and under such unusual
circumstances as to save vast amount
Of money to the people and to bring emil

The rewarding OF Parr is not only

One hundred thousand dollars OF clean

that is sure to impress itself upon all

Encouraging Thrift.

There are one or two items in the
Congressional appropriation measure
which may not meet the approval Of

One OF these is an item of SIS 9s7 with

for interest on the sailors deposits. The
annual savings of the soldiers have been
N.S6l,2o0; those OF the sailors 81, 49,, 500.
This IS a concrete example of the man
ner in which Uncle Sam has been en-
eouraging thrift among his soldiers and
sailors. Same years ago Congress pro-
vided savings departments for the army
and the navy-a scheme by which the
men might turn over what they could
save to the paymasters and receive
therefor per cent annually. The result
has been highly beneficial in every way.

Death of Virginias Founder Beloved of Poca-

on the other hand is commissioned a

arrangement for the midshipmen, es-

'sECT1oNAIIsM IN VIRGINIA"

From the earliest colonial times ViT-
gfnia was land of sectional differences,
which Influenced to an important degree
the course of her history. These differ
enees and their results are treated in an
able book by Charles Henry Amber en-
titled "Sectionalism In Virginia" Extern
siYe research in the archives at Charles
ton. Richmond, and Washington and the
examination OF numerous documents
have given the author material which
throws much new light on Virginia's in
ternai troubles in ante-bellum days.
Within the boundaries of this State
lived the conservative English of the
Underwater, the more democratic Scotch
Irish and Germans of the Piedmont. and
the rugged frontiersmsn OF the Gumber-
land Plateau. The same laws sheltered
widely divergent religious sects-Angii-
cans, Baptists, PresbyteTians, Quakers,
and Mennonites. Among so many di-
verse interests il was natural that
charges Of unjust legislation should be
rife. The frontier revolted against the
indifference OF conservatism. The farm
ers Of the Piedmont objected 20 legisla-
ton partial TO the plantation system.
Immigrants from Northern Europe found
themselves out of sympathy with their
slave-holding neighbors. One party IA
yored breaking with Great Britain
another demanded an undivided loyalty
to the mother country. Such was the
state of affairs IN the Commonwealth
that produced Washington, Jefferson.
Lee, Madison, Muhlenberg, Pinckney,
Morgan, and Patrick Henry-men des-
tined to rise above local dissension and
leave the nation a rich legacy of demo-
cratic ideals.
A strict regard for historical accuracy
marks the pages Of "Sectonalism In
Virginia" Mr.. Amber has divided his
material into three periods, the first
beginning with colonial times and ending
with Bacons rebellion; the second includ-
ing the emigration into the Piedmont.

such a law is well known in the naval

the people OF the country took hand

thing in the naval regulations which pro-
vents Rear Admiral Evans, although he
is on the retired list, from being more
specific. but we wish that he had In
duiged in innuendo less n1ystifying.

But that method of relief can hardly
amount to much unless 1t Is pointed out

Rear Admiral Evans is capable Of do

country must adopt in behalf Of these

presumably not impersonal. Why is It
that a very Just cause is frustrated on

Il cannot be prejudice alone which in

But aside from the mysteries OF the

Rear Admiral Evans has not pointed
