WITH
VALLEY AND NOW
ASKS RECOGNITION
William e. GuIIett Came to I'm
periaI Before the Railroad.
Is Out for Office of Pub
lie Administrator

If a fellow arrived in Imper-
ial valley ahead Of the railroad
and has spent all of his time
here continuously from 1902
until the present time, should it
have any bearing upon his
claims for county office?
That is question which ap-
plies to the situation of Will
liam E. Gullett, candidate for
the office of Public Admins
tHator.
In the minds of great many
of the old timers it does signify
something that a man has suf-
fered all of the hardships of
pioneering, has shared in the
hopes and defeats of the early
days and has come to the pres
ent day without ever having
faltered for an instant in his
faith in Imperial valley or in
his loyalty to her interests.
Mr.. Gullett came to Imperial
valley as a mere boy and is a
product of her schools and has
completed his training here in
the university Of practical ex
perience. He has held number
of clerical situations which
were most eXacting as to accur-
acy and efficiency and which
have had an important influ-
ence in equipping him for the
place to which he now aspires.
Mr.. Gullet was for five years
in the employ of the Southern
Pacific railroad, much of the
time as cashier at Imperial. To
one who has had experience in
working for a railroad this fact
tells a story in itself. 1t means
that one has been able to make
good in place where a precise
standard is established and no
compromise whatever with that
which is exactly right is ever
passed over without a "call
down."
The duties of the public ad-
ministrator's office are part
clerical and part legal. To the
extent that they are clerical,
Mr.. Gullett's experience has
prepared him and to the extent
that the duties are legal, the ne
cesslties are met by the en-
ployment of capable counsel.
Mr.. Gullett expects, if elected,
to engage a lawyer of exper-
lence to handle this part of the
work and can promise to give
an efficient administration.
Mr.. Gullet has never held
public office of any kind and
has never before been a candi-
date. His slogan is straight
Ahead for a Greater Imperial
valley and he has lived up to
this watchword by travelling
straight ahead in the direction
OF a greater and more glorious
Imperial valley from the day
OF the sidewinder and jackrab-
bit. The industrial Importance
OF the Imperial valley today is
but a fulfillment of his pro-
phecy in the past and the still
greater future which is before
us will be an expression of the
vision which he holds today.
While running for office Mr..
Gullett is farming in the section
south of Seeley. He can be said
to be the farmers candidate for
he is a farmer and working at
it. He is endeavoring to make a
campaign and in such leisure as
he has he is travelling over the
county calling upon voters and
making known the claims which
are here set forth.

GREAT RECORD OF
WOMAN in PUBLIC
OFFICE OF COUNTY
In Responsible Duties of COun-
ty Treasurer Has Set Pace
Which Would be Difficult
for Another to FOlIOU

What are the considerations
which make it consistent for
woman to aspire to so import
ant an office as that of County
Treasurer?
Verify, they are the same
which make it right and proper
for a man to so aspire.
Mrs. Josephine M. Adair is
the Deputy County Treasurer.
In that capacity she has mast
cred all of the intricate detail
of the office. 1t is not ques-
tion as to whether she NIGHT
be able to fill the office of
County Treasurer. She is func-
tionlng in that capacity RIGHT
NOW and by the rules which
have come to be accepted in pri-
vate enterprises she is entitled
to be made chief upon the ex-
plratlon of the present treasur-
er's term.
People generally perhaps do
not understand that while in
some situations treasurer's
duties are merely nominal, in
this county the county treasur-
er has to be real book-keeper.
He keeps record of the opera
tions of the school districts in
volvlng between three and four
hundred accounts and all of the
detail of the business with the
banks running into nearly half
a million dollars. All this in
addition to the regular routine
OF keeping account of the Or
dinary expenditures of the
county, and distributing the
same to the proper accounts.
These accounts have to be in
balance, not occasionally, but
all of the time and the treasur-
er has to know how to do it.
There is no one else who can re-
lieve him of the responsibility.
Mrs. Adair has demonstrate
ed an ability to do this. She has
the necessary quality of not be-
ing satisfied with a thing until
it is right. She has conserva-
tive turn of mind and does not
do anything until she is certain
of her ground. She has that old
maidish trait, if you please,
which renders it impossible for
her to rest until her work is
done and a woman's instinct
for hanging on to money until
someone proves his right to
take it away. She is thorough
master of the system in the
treasurer's office and has
grown up with it from the be-
ginning. She has made herself
acquainted with the law and
the theory on which public
money is loaned and has an
understanding from actual ex-
perience just how much money
II is prudent to loan, a phase Of
the work which another could
not know until he had had the
experience.
The greatest compliment to
Mrs. Adair's ability and to the
success with which she has been
able TO handle the work of her
department is the fact that
many of those who are most
closely i'm touch with the County
Treasurer's office have express
ed themselves as favorable to
her election. These comprise
the bankers of the valley and
the departments of the court
house whose work has to be in
step with the Treasurer's office.
The average person seeking in
formation for his guidance in
casting his ballot cannot do bet,
ter than get the point of view of
those who have been in a situa-
tl0n 90 know.
Mrs. Adair is before the peo-
pie strictly on her record. She
asks only such consideration as
she may have earned and fully
demonstrated.

TURKEY EGGS FOR MATCHING
They Should Be Gathered Daily Where
There Is Danger OF Them
Being Destroyed.

When there Is danger that turkey
eggs may be chilled or destroyed they
should be gathered every day, and a
nest egg left in each nest. Skunks,
opossums, rats, crows, and dogs are
the greatest destroyers Of turkey eggs,
although occasionally minks. raccoons,
coyotes, wolves. foxes, cats, and certain
large snakes also eat eggs. When a
turkey hen has been disturbed by one
Of these pests, she may change her
nest to some other place and abandon
the eggs.
Eggs for Matching should be kept at
temperature Of as near so degrees or
60 degrees f. as possible, and should
he turned over every day, say poultry
specialists in the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. They should be
Jared as little as possible while han
ding and should be incubated while
fresh, never holding more than two
weeks If 1t can be avoided. 1t is an
excellent plan to mark the date On
each egg as it is gathered, in order to
be certain that no eggs are kept too
long before they are incubated. q

diary that, on this night, at least, there
were chairs in the rooms where Mrs
Washington saw her guests, for '.after
they were seated" tea and coffee, and
plum and plain cake, were dispensed
by the attending servants. She re-
marked, while speaking of the days

she always designated her husband)

To an inquiry by the President
whether such 0bservances were casual
or customary, it was answered that
New Years visiting had always been
maintained In the city. He paused a
moment, and then observed: 1.-THE
highly favored situation Of New York
will, in the process Of years, attract
numerous emigrants, who will gradual
ly change it's ancient customs and
manners; but, whatever changes take
place, never forget the cordial and
cheerful observance Of New Years
day." s:
Mrs. Washington had stood by his
side as the visitors arrived and were
presented, and when the clock in the
hall was heard striking 8, she ad-
vanced, and with a complacent smile
said. '"The general always retires at
