his opposition to the league of nations

explanation that he was introducing the
speaker because he was mayor of the

city and surrounding country has the
most ideal water supply for both do
mestic and irrigation uses, adequate
fire protection, $50, 900 library; sec

and cotton compress afford every IA
cility for crop production; fine streets,

ruS HERE is a sort of likeable quail

TrS HERE is a sort of likeable quail
ity about Imperial City that IS
a hard to analyze, buc which I'M
presses itself upon even the chance
visitor to the town. There is that
about the atmosphere and in the ways
of the people that attracts a stranger.
While of the West and most distinct
lively California, there is lacking that
something of crudeness and harshness
marking the new towns of the West.
Perhaps it is that Imperial City be
ing a blend of the old and the new, a
modern structure built upon an old
foundation, presents for that reason
a somewhat softer character outline
and d mellower tone than is usual to
the stirring, striving, and smartly
new communities Of recently selected
sections. This is not to say that
proper enterprise and progress is lack
ing, but rather that its form is not
so obtrusivelv aggressive.
A Fruited Garden
A western quality typicaliy
Californian it is that rather in
clines the lmperialites to distain
the petty Transactions which form
the base of trade in an eastern
town and with them the smaller
currency. The time being only

less frugal care than is shown
further east, and the humble

the Imperial country, breeds d
tolerant spirit and the sunshine
reflects itself bit in The genialiy
optomistic spirit prevailing.
An understanding of the somewhat
unusual spirit manifest in social, bust
ness and municipal fields in Imperial
City is more readily reached when the
observer considers that Imperial IS
more a city in miniature than an over
grown village, and the tone is more
metropolitan than otherwise for this
reason. The cause for this may be
partly in the fact that many lmper-
ial residents having removed To thi,
section from large cities and 1hiellly
populated communities have brought
something of the atmosphere thereof
with them, but more probably it arises
from the splendid situation of Imper-
al in the heart of one Of the greatest
crop production sections of the world
which serves to provide and promote

Loss of Appetite.

As a general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals a day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
that at least five hours should always
elapse between meals so as to give
the food ample time to digest and
the stomach a period Of rest before
a second meal is taken. Then if you
eat no more than you crave and take
a reasonable amount of outdoor exer-
else every day you will not need to
worry about your appetite. When
the loss of appetite is caused by con-
stipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose
of Chamberlain's Tablets will. do it.

known however, that the postmaster
there had been under suspicion for
some time, having, it is said, forged

aware that federal officers were
on his trail and left for parts I'M
known. Reams has been postmaster
