DEVELOPING sOLDTERLY
 QUALITIES

The question as to whether it Is better to join the COlors now or with a later contingent is not worth arguing, since the decision has Deen made for each man by lot. An ambitious man, however, will be glad to join now. It gives him a better chance for promotion. The commissioned officers of the sirsta contingent are picked men who have voluntarily gone through the hardest kind of training. The officers of later contingents will be drawn largely from the men enlisted in the first conttngents. There IS plenty of opportunity here for every man to use his brains and his en- ergy and to earn promotion accord ing to his worth. This does not mean easy or quick advancement. It means only that you will have your fair chance-aud you would ask for nothing more-to develop yourself and to climb upward step by step.
 In order to make good in the National Army you must, first or all, fit yourself to carry with cred it the simple title of "American CltE zen-soldier - one of the proudest titles in the world. This means that you must develop in yourself the Qualities of a soldier. The more quickly and thoroughly you lcultiYate them, the greater will be your satisfaction and success.
 There is very little real difference of opinion as to soldterly qualities. They have been determined by ages of exDerince. Weapons change, but the soldier who handles the weap- ons remain much the same.
 THE BASIC QUALITIES
 There are three basic qualities without which no man can be real soldier even though he may temporarily wear B uniform. They are:

WANTED-LOT BUYERS
WITH MONEY TO BUILD

Caliratria is the one place in I'M
perial Valley where real estate ac-
Itivity is actve-and active along le-
gitimate lines. Since the first of the
y ear, j. A. JOHNSON, sales agent
for Calipatria Town and Farms, has
sold "A lots, all of which were pur-
chased with the object of improve
ment, either with business blocks OF
residences. Not one lot was bought,
so far as the purpose of the buyer was
disclosed, with the thought of specu-
H. ton uppermost in the mind Of the
purchaser. In every instance the
uyer was influenced to purchase
either for personal use or in order
that he might build for rental pur-
poses.
From applications for business
houses end residences now on file in
the office of T. A. JOHNSON, it can
be stated as fact that if a building
were upon each of the lots sold since
the first of the year, everyone would
be occupied and the demand not sat
isfied.
Those not personally acquainted
with conditions in Calipatria and the
North End generally are, of course,
unable to realize the progress going
on in this section of the Valley. This
summer and fall, with the products
