implicitly in fairies.
Soon the guests began arriving, and
Birdie could hear them laughing and
talking, could hear the almost con-
tinuous ringing Of the front door bell,
and the opening and closing OF the
door by hired butler who was her
grandmothers chauffeur on ordinary
occasions.
Then the ringing of the bell ceased,
and Birdie knew that all Helen's COM

two beautiful parlors. Their voices
and laughter came up the stairs more

%RRv L. BARKER DECLARES
LAND VALUES ARE ON JUMP

Los Angeles Tribune: Harry T..
Barker, manager Of the j. r. Strang
company OF Ell Centre and Holtvillc,
Imperial valley, left this city for his
home last night after hurried busi-
ness trip to the city, during which ne
closed large real estate transaction.
Mr.. Barker is one Of the best boosters
that country of boosters has, although
he has been there from New York but
two years.
He says that the district is just be
ginning to feel the impetus of big
boom. Land values are jumping. Prop
erty that sold in the valley a year ago
for $40 an acre, such as relinquished
desert entries, is bringing S25 now, and
there is more demand than the real es-
tate agents can supply. At the top Of
the ladder, highly improved ranch land
that was selling at from 800 to $3.50
at $i15 to $500.
Il always had shared the average
fasteners suspicion of the stories Q!

Extensive street improvements, the

all evidences of the sort of growth the
