The California George Junior Repub-
lie submits the following financial
statement for the two years and eight
months since it's Incorporation, Aug
ust, 1907, to April, 1910.
Since our incorporation in August
1907. we have raised from all sources
S32, ,661 SO. OF this amount. Mrs. and
Miss Fowler, have paid $22,5OO Inc
women's auxillaries have paid $4395,
from tuition and board, $41522O; pro
duce and hay, $1SO.18; miscellaneous
contributions, S1434.
Almost all of the above amount mas
been raised by women and from Wo-
men in Southern California, ana with
the exception of six bankers, no busi-
ness men of Los Angeles have con-
tributed any amount above 80 per
year,
From the above facts it is plain that
Los Angeles has not impoverished IL
self as yet on the George Junior Re
public. More than one-half of the boys
that are in that splendid institution
are and have always been from Los
Angeles. Judge Wilbur said the other
day to one of our business men here,
the George Junior Republic is the
greatest institution for boys in eXls-
tence." Let every one hear Judge VIII
bur next Wednesday night at the \.

The Woman's club of Santa Monica
will not close during the summer as is
customary, but will have social meet
ings once a month at which musical
and literary programs will be rem
dered.
Last Monday Mrs. Lou v. Chaplin,
the we'll known Los Angeles club wo-
man and speaker gave the members
a highly appreciated talk on current
events.
1t is thought probable that arrange
ments will be made for Mrs. Chaplin
to address the club at regular inter
walls during the coming year.
Tomorrow Bruce Gordon Kingsley
will give a lecture recital on Parsifal.
This is the third and last of a series
of splendid lectures on the Wagnerian
