MAY HOLD DRY FARMING
CONGRESS IN THIS CITY

John T. Burns, secretary and treas
urer of the dry farming congress, has
written Secretary Virgins urging him
to have the chamber of commerce join
with him in calling a dry farming con-
gress to be held in Los Angeles at an
early date. Several western states have
already taken steps toward organizing
local dry farming conventions, notably
Kansas, Wyoming, South Dakota, Ok
lahOma, Utah and Texas
The question of dry farming is an
extremely important one to the sections
of country where the rainfall is light
and the results obtained by practical
workers is simply astounding to those
who do not understand the. methods of
dry farming. Many crop has been
saved by timely cultivation and it is
the education of the farmers along
these lines that is being taken up by
the dry farming congress.

"SAFE AND SANE"
 JULY 4TH FAVORED
 BY GOV. WEEKS
Letter Today Received By Mayor Buckingham Out lines Views of State $ Head.

Mayor Buckingham is in receipt of the following from Gov. F. B. Weeks, which has to do with a Sane and Safe' July 4th, similar letters having been sent to every Mayor in the State:
 The Society for the Suppression or Unnecessary Noise, with headquaT'- ters in New York city, is making every effort to interest the people of the States through their executives in the wisdom and importance of observing a safer and saner Fourth of July. Sta tistics show that during the celebration of five national holidays 1,153 persons were killed, and 21,520 men more or less injured. No computation can possibly be made of the harm, say nothing of the discomfort, our sick and nervous are obliged to undergo by the noise. All this, together with the inn mense loss through fires, leads the so- Ciety to believe that all thinking peo- pie are more than ready to cooperate with the authorities toward securing a less noisy and @ more rational and pa triotic national day. Therefore, as 1 am in hearty sympathy with this movement, and believing, as l do, that the size and quality of some of the eX- plosives used, together with the unrea- sonable time allowed in which to cele- brate, has passed all bounds. I feel warranted in calling attention of the heads of municipalities and of our people generally to the advisabflity of taking steps toward making this glor- ious anniversary a day of pleasure and profit, instead of day of unrest and hnrrnr

THE ANCETJTS

Local music dealers are taking more than ordinary interest in an announce ment from London of the purchase by King Edward of an Angelus Player Piano. It is considered perhaps the highest foreign recognition of the es- tablishment of the Angelus on a plane of artistic worth deemed attainable a few years ago only by the masters o1 technique and interpretation.
 The tribute is the more impressive in that the Angelus is distinctly of American creation and development it's originators and makers being the Wilcox & White Company of Meriden, Conn.
 The instrument has just been SUD- piled to the Royal household through Sir Herbert Mar shall. of the firm of Marshall Sons & Rose, into a piano of whose manufacture the Angelus was installed.
