joycd by the crowd, not to mention
many stunts so close tc the ground

were lost they flew 20 miles below the
bcrdcr, Clarke's plane was fired on,
and six bullets punctured the right
wing and two the left wing. He does
net know khether the bullets were
fired by Mexican soldiers or Mexican
bandits. He was finally able to make
his way to the American side by see
ing the cement posts on the line.

FREIGHT COMING
At GREAT RATE
TO FL CENTRE

The Ell Centre local fAeitht station
is receiving anywhere from six to
eight capacity loaded cars of merchan-
disc, or less than carload freight,
daily. This is considerable increase
over last years business and has come
on the Southern Pacific with such a
rush that we are forced to ask the
merchants of El Centro and the COM
munity adjacent to our town to please
take prompt delivery of all freight
which is, now in our warehouse. We
must have the cooperation of our
local community in order to maintain
prompt delivery of less than carload
freight. .' :.t'-
The, receiving of six or eight nier-
chandise cars per day this month, as
compared with the same month last
year, is an increase of at least 200
per cent.

they bring disappointment, drudgery,

bring home at night will depend large

1t is estimated that at the next presidential election
100000 women voters will be qualified to cast thei,
ballots and the managers of both the great political par
ties are busiy engaged devsng means for taking
over majority of this vast increment Women are to
be given liberal representation upon the Democratic and
Republican national committees special committees are
to be established for the organization of women
and every possible device will be resorted to in order
to make the new voters understand that they are heartily
welcome and at the same time make them forget that
they were long time getting the ballot
Party managers, however, will do well to study care
fully the results of elections in States which have had
universal suffrage for some years since they will be
able to learn much to guide them in dealing with the
national situation. Experience has proved that the wo

take the trouble to register and exercise the right of
