whom Christ died. We rejoice In the
privilege as we think of His "Inasmuch
as ye did it unto one of the least, ye
did It unto me." Any further contrl
buttons may be left with Mr. Royce,
treasurer, or any member of the society.
Mrs. Adams, of El Centro, brought
to this office the first of the week a
beautiful bouquet of roses, but what In
terested the writer the most was a large
ripe, luscious fig. Mrs. Adams says
they have already had a number of
ripe figs this spring. That Is earlier
than we know of anywhere except from
the Forrester ranch and herein lies Im
mense possibilities. They have at
present fourteen fig trees, all of which
will bear fruit next year and If they
prove as early as has this one, a great
deal of money can be made by ship
ping Into Los Angeles. Ripe figs this
time of the year would bring big re
turns. Mr. and Mrs. Adams certainly
have a nice place just north of the
town limits, where you will find flow^is
in abundance and fruit trees of every
description. They have lemon trees
In bearing and apple trees that are do-
Ing splendidly. By next year fruits of
all kind* will abound on this place and
these Industrious people will begin to
reap the benefits of their labor and will
have shown what are the rewards of
frugality as exercised In the Imperial
valley.
