Cranberries, like so many of the other good
things of life, are distinctively American deli
cacies. To be sure, cranberries grow wild in
some other quarters of the globe--for instance
In Europe, but it is only in the United States
that they have been cultivated as an article OF
food. Even here the growing of cranberries Is
confined largely to three states-Massachu
sets, New Jersey and Wisconsin. How impor-

An Exciting Town.

Los Angeles is a truly exciting town
to live in. To say nothing Of its
heavenly climate and its bombs, there
is always something stimulating in
the occult line going on. Just the
other day a widow of the angelic city
began to long for a sight of one OK
her schoolmates whom she had not
seen for As years. The longing brought
its fulfllment. A spirit told her to
look for him in Brooklyn. She obeyed,
met him on the street a few hours
after she arrived, and promptly mar
ried him. 1t is worth while to live
in a city where things like this hap
pen, even at the risk of being blown
up now and then.

this juncture she availed herself of
