THE CITY'S GROWTH.

L The Press during the period Of depression which!
covered the whole coast lost confidence in the u
mate response Of this city to the inevitable demand for
further growth.
We have recognized the fact that for two years the
growth of El Centre too rapid for good health,
peciay considering the rapid development of several
other valley towns.
Taking all the towns the expansion of trade facilities
too rapid, and check naturally when the de-
preston hit the coast.
But are back to healthy conditions. Al
most every store is occupied and the development
Of the farms going ahead rapidly that the merchants
will this year find conditions most satisfactory.
We do not mean by this that would encourage
building of business houses this year. 1t will be well
there is further development that line for year
it is better for everybody for to build up high pros
perity for those that here than have great
competition.
But we do need activity in home building this year.
Houses are scarce even early in September, and the
growth of population this year will necessarily be large
Money is to be had for all legitimate purposes and
we hope to considerable of it applied in this way be-
Ore those who wish here to live forced to go
elsewhere.
We have been convinced that Ell Centro would rise
rapidly to city of $4,000 inhabitants and have not
changed our convictions The temporary delay has not
been out OF the ordinary experience of rapidly growing
cities 1t simply implies halt until industrial resources
catch up with the city and going again great
squirt.
The population already is pouring into the city to fill
all possible gaps and all hands should now join in efforts
20 provide homes.

The mild, yet satisfying Chester
field blend is not the result of happy
chance. 1t is one of the results of
our many years of cigarette experience
of the heavy volume of our purchases
of cigarette tobacco - of the prestige
and advantage these enormous pur-
chases give us in securing the choicest
leaf from the tobacco fields of the world.
Chesterhelds are an achievement.

TTARKING BACK TO LINCOLN.

IL President Wilson yesterday spoke to large audi
the birthplace of Lincoln and in larger way he
spoke through the newspaper to the whole of Lncons
common people,
1t is good time to hark back to Lincoln, and it is
we'll at this time that the president and the citizens should
unitedy let their minds dwell for time the lessons
the great emancipation brought to the nation.
Since his day the nation has passed through period
Of extravaganza and of power and of habits but
like to think that the popular mind is drifting
back the primal truths of democracy and that the home
and the home-makers have become bigger factor in
American life than the trusts and the trust-buders.

THE IMPERIAL VALLEY FARMER.

This region has at last to the point where the
men who the land considering their possessions
from the viewpoint of production rather than of increase
IN values and judged in that way their possessions are
of great value.
There is question this year that in all lines of pro-
ducton there great profit for those who produce fair
crops and the exhaustion of stocks is complete that
seems certain the present high prices will continue for
series of years
This true in live stock dairy and cotton production
especially and these are the greatest of industries
Let the farmer prosper through actual production,
and the realty values will take care of themselves

nearly every department and official
bureau, state and federal.
Newspapers receive from five to
ten letters in a days mail setting
forth the Importance and value OF
services performed by boards, Off

Time taken TO prepare all this
matter, paper and postage, are all at
public expense and increase cost Of
