This Is Our Last Announcement

On April II, 1913, there appeared
in this paper our first advertisement in
the form of letter signed by r. p.
Banta of FL Centro, in which he said
he would put these lots on the market
and that in his opinion any lot on the
tract would be worth 81 900 as soon as
tho
SAN DIEGO & ARIZONA r. r.
was completed. Since that time a aood
many things have taken place, and it
looks as if the lots would sell at a
much higher figure at that time

THE BATHING

THE BATHING
at Imperial Beach is by far the best
on the Pacific Coast, for there is where
you have the hard sandy bottom, on
which you can wade out over 400 fee:
without getting in water over waist
deep. There are no high winds, sting
arees, undertow or sea weed.
FISHING
Just off the sand spit, one block west
of the Banta Subdivision, is found the
best surf fishing on the coast, and the
deep sea fishing between Imperial Beach
and Coronado Islands cannot be eY-
celIed, a fact demonstrated by the
catches that are being daily made there.
EDISON STORAGE BATTERY CARS
the most wonderful interurban street
cars in the word, attaining a speed of
80 miles an hour, run from Imperial
Beach to South San Diego, thence over

PRAISE WHERE PRAISE is DUE.

When Barton county elected Fred
zutavern as its representative to the
legislature the people Of that county
made no mistake. Zutavern is a
German with pronounced Teutonic
accent, but he has been in Kansas
long enough to become thoroughly
Americanized. Representing his
county in the legislature is a serious
thing for Mr.. Zutavern. He studies
carefully every measure introduced
regardless of its source or compare
tive importance, usually has some
thing pertinent to say upon pending
questions and never evades the re-
sponsibility Of roll call. The in.
terests Of Barton county will be safe
ly subserved by the Hon. Mr.. Zuta-
vern, and although the session is only
three week old, 1t Is safe to say that
among the 125 members Of the lower
house there is not a more popular or
paiustaking representative than the
gentleman from Barton.-Editoriai
Correspondence in Hutchinson Ca
zette.

PURE FEED LEGISLATION

House Bill No. $50, regulating the
sale of feed stuffs, defining same, pro-
viding for the registration, labelling,
inspection and analysis and prohibit
ing the sale of fraudulent or adulter-
ated commercial feed stuffs, is one
of the new bills which we believe will
be a popular law If enacted. The
adulterating or Misrepresentation Of
is nothing short of a crime and should
be treated as such. The extent to
which this has been carried on is
much greater than most people real
ize and has done much toward in
creasing the bank accounts of var
ious business people within the bor-
ders of our state.

This is to inform you, Mr.. Presl-
dentelect, that the home folk are
with you and will stay with you as

relishes even the threat of panic,
much less the serious possibility Of
one. But the plain people know that
there isn't a ghost of reason for
a panic now, except among persons
who are afraid of justice.
If a panic should be manipulated
they will grit their teeth and go
