POTATOES ARE TO SELL
AT HALF THE PRICE

Los Angeles Examiner.-Here's joy
Gus news The prices of potatoes are
going down.
One of the principal offenders in the
high cost of living will, i'm a short
time, show remarkable reformation
The potatoes of the coming crop will
cost the housewife just about half
what she paid for those of last year
All this is due to the unprecedented
acreage planted to potatoes this year,
following the altitudinous prices paid
for the short supply of 1911. One
produce dealer yesterday summed up
the outlook by declaring 1--WE will deal
in carload lots instead of by the carat
this year"
1t is estimated that from 10000 to
$4,000 acres have been converted into
potato fields this year, and the crop
outlook is SO promising that it is esti-
mated 1000 carloads will be handled
from the southern California markets
| alone. Last year there were less than
1000 carloads.
The acreage in the northern part OF

Francisco market and stop the heavy
demand from that quarter which kept

MAY RECALL MEMBERS
OF NATIONAL COMMITTEE

by james J. Montague in Los Ange-

| plan to wrest from President Taft the
control of the all-important Republi-
can national committee will be put
into execution if the members of that
body show the slightest disposition TO

This is no less scheme than to
work the recall on Taft committeeman

will favor Roosevelt in all judicial de-
liberations.

emily to prevent them from doing so.
This was one of the developments
that followed the Ohio catastrophe in
Kaleidoscope succession. Another was
the definite determination on the
part of Senators Root and PenroSe to

CALL FOR CARPENTERS
COMES FROM CONTRACTORS

Building contractors are calling for
more carpenters. J. l.. Travers said
today that there is a scarcity widely
felt in the valley. and work in hand is
held up for lack of men.
The fact of this call being heard
so late In the season tells of big
building activity present and in I'M
mediate prospect, while i'm no previous
year has there been so great amount
of building in sight for early fall.
A year ago there were those who
did not look for great developments
in the immediate future. and, to tell
the truth, there was tendency for
things to drag. But complete
change has taken place. Not simply
Ell Centro. but the entire valley has
experienced active building opera
tions and great increase in population,
and that tendency has SO impressed
everybody that the croaker now is
never heard from, and everybody is
looking for rapid advance all along
the line.
The number of residences built IN
Ell Centro during the past year, great
as it has been. has not exceeded the
immediate demand. and as for the
many store buildings erected, they
are being occupied as soon as fur
nished, and with the increase in the
number of stores. business men all are
highly pleased with the growth of
trade.
Much conjecture prevails as to the
future development of the business
quarter. The westward tendency con-
tinues unabated. but there is a grow
ing tendency to build up cross street.
and the construction of the Masonic
building on South Sixth street is TAX
en- to indicate turn in that direc-
tion.
