A WARNING

Breathes there a man with soul so
dead.
Who never TO himself hath said,
MY trade OF late IL getting bad,
I'll try another ten-inch nd"
If such there be. go mark him well,
For him no bank account shall swell;
No angel watch the golden stair
To welcome him millionaire
The man who never asks for trade
BY local line or ud, displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly gain
And when he dies go plant him deep,
Tread lightly. friends, let no rude
sound
Disturb his soliciude. profound;
Here let him live in calm ropose,
unsought except by men he owes,
And when. he dies go plant him deep
That naugh may break his dreamless
sleep;
Wherein no clamor may dispcl
The quiet that he loved so we'll;
And that the world may know its loss.
Place on his grave wreath OF moss
And ON stone above, Here lies
a chump who would not advertise"

able industry of Hawaii adds interest
to what Californians are doing in the
same industry as set forth In the fol-
lowing article:
In nifty years, the annual production
of corn In the United States has in
creased 26O per cent, of wheat iSS per
cent. and of cotton us per cent The
production of cotton, therefore. has
failed to keep pace with the Increase
In the worlds requirements, or even
with the increase in the production OF
Toodstums. For this reason the devel-
opment of a new cotton growing re-
gon of vast possibilities is an event of
national Importance.
Imperial Valley Work.
For five OF six years, experiments In
cotton growing have been carried on in
the Imperial Valley of California; but
II was less than two years ago that
any one had the hardihood to actually
engage In cotton growing on q COM
mercial scale Five hundred acres of
land were seeded In cotton In the I'm
perial Valley in the spring of 1909. and
when the harvest was finished In the
winter of 19O9-iO. the success of the
venture was so conclusively established
that everyone knew that this was
henceforth to he one of the great sta
pie farm crops of the hot desert valley
region In the southeastern part of the
State. Last year fully 10000 acres
NH Ia. 80 l,.,1
crop was harvested late In January OF
this year. averaging three quarters Of
bale to the acre. This season some-
thing like 10000 acres will be planted
in cotton in the Imperial Valley, and
probably lj.o00 acres in the Coachella
Valley, where small acreage was
grown last year. Experimental plant
ings are being made In other valleys
IN the southern half of the State, and
no one longer doubts that II new Call
fornia industry. of vast potential i'm
portance, has been born.
Means Prosperity.
The successful establishment of cot
ton growing means much more than
increased prosperity for the farmers
and higher prices for land. II means
a great influx of new settlers, the-rapid
growth of established towns and the
/ building of new ones. the establishment
of new manufacturing Industries, the
! expansion of the dairy Industries
! through the provision of the best pos
sible stock feed, more freight for the
railroads to haul, increased trade with
