Hon. M. E. Lewis for Governor

Hon. M. E. Lewis is really drafted
candidate for the governorship. He is
a farmer-banker, and not either pol
itician or a social climber. When the
state needed strong man as governor,
man of courage, integrity and under
standing, and good men were side-step-
ping the responsibility and the fight,
friends laid it before Mr.. Lewis as a
duty he owed 1.-The state to enter the
fight All you need to do with Mr..
Lewis is to show him his duty; he will
follow that call to any sacrifice. That
the people appreciate his position and
his ability, one must believe who looks
beneath the false glare and glamour of
toadyism to the power already in office,
and sees the silent common people,
eight out of every ten even of the dom
inant republican party, welcoming Mr..
Lewis as their deliverer.
Mr.. Lewis bids fair to get good
two to- one vote above Governor Haines.
Even that. however, is hardly the fair
measure of their strength; the one is
sure winner. the other dead loss, an
irretrievable disaster.

April 5.
Ell Centre prides itself on the fact
that while it has plenty of churches
there are no saloons. There have
never been saloons here and none arc
wanted. The business men, the city
officials and the citizens generally
recognize the fact that there is too
much to do here for King Alcohol to
have any business in the Valley.
Their business is to build up. His
business is to tear down. The full
working capacity of every man is
needed here.
In performing the work of today
and planning for the future the
strongest bodies and the best brains
are needed. A home city, clean and
safe for our children and best citi-
zents is the watchword in Ell Centre,

Is the Sweetest County
In All the State

There is little disease to contend with
because the season is long and the
weather nearly always clear There
is very little foul brood The Euro
pean foul brood could not thrive here
even if it were introduced as there
is always a crop, therefore always
plenty of food for the bees.
Bees seldom swarm here. Swarming
is natural method of propagation
from very evident causes. Those who
avoid the causes have no trouble. In
other sections of the country swarm
ing is the bee mans worst problem.
Here it seldom occurs. There are no
voracious insects.
The output of a colony of bees
varies from 100 to 12O pounds each
year. Some keepers average so a
colony for the season. The valley pro
duced last year TAO tons of honey.
Many who do not own land lease
enough ground to put their bees on
and then let them work the alfalfa
fields for miles around. The bee bust
ness in Imperial valley offers a gol-
den opportunity to the man of limite
means.
Mr.. J. Edgar Ross, a student and
writer, living at Brawley, came to the
valley without capital three years
ago. He says he set out to make SO,
900 in five years, but will reach his
mark in one more year, four instead
Of five. How did he do it? He bought
q fifty foot lot and established few
colonies of bees on the back end of il
The bees did the rest. Bees MAKE
more honey and money in Imperial
Valley than anywhere else because the
season is very much longer, making
it possible for the bee to work th~
longest part Of the year. Bees sell
for about 81 q colony. Honey averages
six cents a pound in ton lots.
j. W. George Of Imperial is one OF
the largest honev producers in Cali
fornia. He has 1900 colonies. W.
Culver Of Calexico has 1900 colonies
and Gunterman and Prcwitt about tht
same number. A. Logan Of Brawle,
has 1000 colonies. Every effort viii
be made to conserve the health o
these little workers because theiI
united efforts make the valley richer
by almost 100000 annually.

MANY CHURCHES
BUT NO SALOONS

One of the first buildings COM
pleted in every new town in the Val
lev was a church. From various sec
tions the best citizenship of America
came here for home and fortune.
There were great difficulties to over
come but they did not make the
mistake of neglecting the spiritual
side of life. Ministers were found
who were willing to identify them
selves with the lives of their peo-
pie.
More thought was given to life
than to sect. Usually there has been
great freedom from the sectarian
spirit in all the communities of the
Valley.
For some time after Ell Centro was
started union services were held in
the opera house. DR.. R. P. Shepherd
was the first minister. Later the
First Christian church was organized
with Rev. S. 7. Martin as pastor.
Rev. w. G. Conley succeeded Mr.
Martin four years ago. 1t is due to
Mr.. Conley's faithful persistent work
that his church has grown constant
ly in numbers and influence.
The Methodist church, which was
organized five years ago, has pros
pered under the ministry of Rev. Oh
iver Saylor and Rev. A. L. Baker.
Recently forward movement start
ed in this church resulted in the can
collation. of large amount of indebt-
edness. 1t is now planned to increase
the capacity of the building.
The Catholic church has just COM
pleted under the ministry of Rev.
Father Smith a handsome modern
building at a cost of over $4,000.
Under the active ministry of Rev.

LARGE PLANTING OF
FRUIT TREES NOW

Probably larger quantity of fruit
is being set out in the Valley this
year than ever before. Almost ev-
cry kind of fruit imaginable is be-
ing tried. And nearly everything is
standing the test well. Honors are
about equally divided between citrus
and decidious fruits. Oranges and
lemons do we'll, but grape fruit seems
to do better than either on the lower
portions of the valley.
N. F. Farnsworth received fancy
price from the Pullman Co. for all his
grape fruit to be used on their dining
car system. So early is the season
here that all kinds of citrus fruits
ripen some time earlier than in other
parts of the state.
Figs, the largest and most luscious
grow with profusion. One feature OF
early summer is the Apricot Fair.
No finer "cots" grow anywhere in the
world than in the Imperial Valley.
E Olives, the biggest and best, grow
here. They are so large that they
scarce look like olives. Some grow
ers in the North End express their
intention to plant hundreds of acres
of olives.
People are taking more time to set
out fruit than in the early days.
Then they wanted quick returns. Now
they see they can get quicker re-.
turns from fruit here than anywhere
else. ..
