WASHINGTON-If you think
W that millions Of Americans are
relieved that the campaign is over,
you ought to talk to the boys who
guard the, president.
The tens of millions who have
seen the chief executive in the
last few weeks have little concep-
ton of the tremendous strain the
campaign imposed on officers of
the, U. S. Secret Service.
The task of seeing that the
president gets safely there and
safely back again is one of the
most intricate and important of
assignments, and Col. Edward w.
Starling's boys are glad it's. over
That is, over for the campaign.
For the responsibility of guard
ing the life Of the, president goes
right on around the clock, every
day OF the year.
COLONEL STARTLING, genial
~ and alert chief Of the White
House Secret Service, invariably
proceeds as. the advance guard of
presidential trips. ., ,, o..
, Startling plots the course the
president will take and surveys
. the terrain at every platform
stop. He goes into huddles with
police chiefs, instructs them as to
the handling of crowds, the plac-
ing of their men, the roping-off
of certain areas, and the spot
ting" of national. guardsmen in
case it is felt advisable to use

Blue Ridge hotel on Main and
Third is coming down to the first
story. r. l.. Edwards thought the
hotel was built in 1888 by Peter
Braswell, former banker and buSi-
ness man, whose widow died only
a few months ago after a long
residence on the corner of Grove
and Seventh avenue east. Bob
Presley says it was under con-
struction in 1894 when his par
ents brought him to Henderson
vile on his first visit.
1t was built of brick with two
stories and basement. Later .
story was added and the hotcI
heightened. The extension was
removed about two years ago
Two top stories are now being re-
moved and the first ground floor
will be renovated for bushes

was built later in the same block
The Blue Ridge was an object OF
pride in it's day but the bats final
iy got it, having stood vacant Ion

price for an ordinary dairy plant is
ST. pounds of butterfat per acre per
month. Places equipped for the
production of market milk and
cream come somewhat higher. Some
dairymen have pasture every day
in the year although it is the GUS
tom to withhold water from the al
falfa in August and the first part of
September. If the fields have been
irrigated heavily early in the season
they very often carry over that per-
iod without irrigation. Since water
is bought for only SO cents an acre
foot, it does not cost much to stock
up for the dry period in Imperial
Valley.
Large Creameries
Besides the market offered for
milk and cream, Imperial county
has three large creameries which
produced 4,267, ,280 pounds of butter
in 1884 and three factories that
made ,294, TIA pounds of cheese that

In addition to the foregoing,
Kleins article stressed the great op-
portunity which exists for Imperial
Valley dairymen to sell their COWS in

for replacement. He also devoted

The Ell Centre Chamber of Com

Klein's impression of Imperial
Valley and particularly its suitabil-
ity for dairy herds is expressed in
the article which reads in part
Imperial Valley now has a little
over $1,000 dairy animals and could
use from 10000 to 10000 more very
easily. For the dairyman with a
clean herd the valley offers a fine
opportunity If he wants to buy

OF gas. poison and incendiary bombs.
%. The forbidding of throwing of
bombs Of any kind on open towns
situated outside the reach Of middle
