THE SEARCH FOR HOUSES

People are already searching in
vain for houses to rent, and this in
the middle of August. AS matter
of fact, all through summer every
house in town has been occupied. and
it is Il serious question how the peo-
pie will be housed during the winter.
About fifty carpenters are busy
erecting cottages in various parts Of
town and have been all summer, but
the demand even in midsummer has
kept pace with the supply
1t is noted that the homeward drift
from the coast has already begun, and
it is certain that during the next
thirty days thousands of residents and
strangers will come pouring into the
valley.
This undoubtedly implies that by the
end of the year Ell Centre will have
reached the 5000 point in population
if houses can be provided for the peo-
pie. Last year with even less growth.
there were those who were obliged
to go to other towns to reside be-
cause they could not find houses here,
and the situation this year with a
virtual boom on is even more threat
ening
We might as we'll accept the fact
that a regular old fashioned boom has
struck Ell Centro and lay our plans
accordingly. Last year at this season
the Press declared the conditions
were at hand which presaged the
boom the valley had awaited for
years, and none but the blind can
doubt that now the boom is at hand.
There are booms and booms, some
indicating health and others disease
A boom which follows as the natural
sequence of the development of a vast
agricultural region is just as health
full a manifestation OF human agency
as anything can be, and that is the
boom We have.
The agricultural resources of the
valley have already run far beyond
balance with town growth, and El
Centro is making great strides TO re-
cover balance of affairs with farm
growth
This city is moving rapidly to It's
eventual population of $4,000 or more,
and this season now opening cannot
but witness greater progress than
ever before.

You Should Be thankful

If you act we'll, eat we'll, sleep we'll,
laugh we'll, think we'll and live we'll you
are a multi. millionaire.
If you can meet the smiles Of your
friends with smile Of your own, you are
rich and ought to be thankful.
Smiles will buy dollars, but dollars will
not alyays buy smiles.
The distance between penury and plenty
is measured by various elements-eood
fortune, ambition, avarice, opportunity
and many others.
Genuine thankfulness Is conveyed in
deeds rather than in words-a cheerful
desire wrought into action-to help the
other fellow.
No man has right to be happy until
he has accomplished all in his power to
guarantee that same boon to others.
