BRIGHT FOR
BUSINESS PROSPERITY

of the comprehensive Tennessee Coal and
Iron, the Republic. the Midvale and the
Baldwin Locomotive-showed actual In
creases. The force of the American Lo-
connective company remained stationary at
% 900 men. The other eleven companies
employed fewer men in October than in
January but In most cases the reduction
was not very marked. The greatest
shrinkage, both absolutely and relatively,
was In the force of the Western Electric
company, which cut off 6000 names from
the $4,000 on its payroll at the beginning
of the year. The United States Steel cor
poration had 100000 employees in January
POS. 900 in October, a reduction of less than
~ per cent.
OF course, all these establishments are
still running to a certain extent on un-
filed orders, and their forces may be
expected to show greater declines when
they have caught up with their arrears
of work and are dealing with the present
contracted volume of business. Ii is pre-
dicted that the steel corporation alone
may lay off 25,O00 men between now and
the beginning of the new year. But it is
quite possible that the present dullness
may be over so soon that the companies
may begin looking for men to cope with
the demands of new prosperity before
the last calls for the old one have been
fully met

A QUIETUs

nROBABLY the most radical OPP
ponent of the president and his
policies will protest because the
executive and the secretary Of the
treasury have decided upon an issue Of
$50. 900, 900 Of Panama canal bonds and
s1O00O0.0oo of 3 per cent treasury notes
for the purpose of facilitating business.
Normal conditions should be restored
almost Immediately upon the heels Of
the actual putting OF this vast amount
Of additional currency in circulation.
The president has acted as quickly as
1t was advisable to do so. The abound
ing prosperity of the country and
plenty Of circulating medium imme-
iiately available are bound to relieve the
strain and soothe the national nerves.
IL Uncle Sam is not good for hundred
million or so. without question as to
the quality of his collateral, we might
as well shut up shop at once.

GOOD TIMES JUBILEE

HTHO dares say another word about
wv any such thing as ''stringency"
In the local money market? II
we had had no evidence of it's bugaboo-
like character until last night the turn
out at the society vaudeville perform
ance would have proved conclusive.
The street in front of the theater in
which society gathered last night re-
sembled the area in front of the Metro
politan opera house at the opening of
the season. Two or three hundred thou
sand dollars worth of automobiles
carrying society leaders whose persons
were adorned by one or two or three
or more millions of dollars worth Of
gowns and jewelry honk-honked up to
the curb and a small fortune in tickets
went into the boxes of the choppers.
Nobody had a thought for anything
more serious than fun. There were no
drawn faces, no anxious eyes. Pleasure
with a capital P reigned. Los Angeles
was happy. And she is just as happy
this morning.
Who says mo money? Faugh!

Rancher Who Is Seeking Long Lost
Wife and Three Children Prac-

in This City

No trace of his lost children has been
found by A. B. Kilgore, the wealthy
Eureka rancher who arrived in Los An
geles recently, having received informa-
ton that his wife and three children,
who disappeared thirteen years ago,
were in this city.
All his efforts to gain some trace of his
family have so far been vain, and Mr..
Ki.gore is greatly disappointed as re-
suit.
few weeks ago he received informa-
tlon from his wife's sister that Mrs. Xii
gore and three children were living here
Under the name of Smith. This prompted
Mr. Kilgore to come to Los Angeles
without delay, and soon after his ar
rival he placed he case in the hands of
private agents. These men had little bet
ter success. and the heartbroken father
is now ready to end his search as fall
ure.
II really expected to find my wife and
little ones without further .oss of time. "
he said last night, and 1 am disappoint-
ed things have not turned out as l ex-
pected.
II have interviewed every Kilgore in
the city and have also seen number of
Smiths. l will not give UP the search,
and I trust that some day success will
crown my efforts.

SECURE FOUNDATION

TT is estimated that the east must
send at least S1OO,OOO0QO to the
a Pacific coast the coming winter in
return for the fruit and grain and other
products which the people of this re-
gion raise and the people of that Sec
tion need. Now il we can get the
transcontinental railways in a frame
of mind which will result in their ar
ranging a schedule of freight tariffs
within the bounds of reason, treating
all shippers exactly alike, regardless OF
the amount of business offered by each
of them; and if this fair treatment be
accorded the intrastate as well as the
Interstate business, California will have
no just cause for complaint.
Probably no other state in the Union
Is so splendidly equipped to Withstand
a temporary mercurial business or
financial disposition as California. In
times of drouth or flood agriculture
proceeds here serenely. 1t is, on this
coast, the most stable form of industry
in America. But, happily, California
is not the only state which has good
reason to rejoice over the prospects Of
Increased wealth this season. Immense
crops have been garnereds throughout
the entire region whose harvest time
ends with the advent of winters chill.
These are one of the most important
bases of our national wealth, and 50
long as this foundation remains un-
shaken we cannot fail to prosper.

their state at Washington, pressing
their demands upon the national law
makers, all the Platts on earth could
not prevent the consumma ton of this
now time-honored scheme for the relief
of the people from the onerous exac-
tions of the express-railroad trust.
We are prone to boast of our wonder
fully progressive American nation, and
as rule we have grounds for the pride
we exhibit in our institutions and in
our progress along various lines. Yet

ANYTHING TO SELL?

There are certain firms in Los
Angeles which have established
for themselves high place in the
esteem of the people. These firms
are those which have long been
advertisers in The Herald,
AS the constant dropping OF
water wears away the stone, so
does insistent advertising make a
lasting impression on the public.
When those with the purchas-
ing power feel the need of goods
they move by acquired habit to
the stores which have steadily
exploited their wares through
The Herald.
If you have anything to sell
keep the thought uppermost in
your mind that The Herald is a
medium through which you can
lay the merits of your bargains
before many thousands of buyers.

For the first time, at least for one
generation, in the history of California
the Legislature is on the eve of enacting
a measure intended as rebuke to the
oligarchy which has politically subJu-

 have been asked by great many flower growers and lovers to furnish list of the best ever blooming roses for the amateur to cultivate.

In fact that almost covers the whole ground. for the plant that will live longest. has the greatest resistance to disease. win get to be the largest and most shapely shrub, will grow longer stems and will hold best when cut.
 I am writing only of those with which have had actual experience, and so 1t is limited list. think it best to have several bushes of the same kind. For culture, the rose needs very little. Most of them get too much forking or spading. I plant my roses in good firm ground. plantig deep and packing the earth around them heavily.

All the year l keep the grass and weeds cut out not letting the hoe go deep. l prune as they bloom, or SIS dead wood forms.
 Roses arc the easiest of all flowers to cultivate, giving a longer season of bloom and more abundant results Nothing can compare to them in fra grance or beauty. I have often heard people say they did not care for this or that flower. but I have never heard any one say he did not care for roses.
