LLOYDS LIKE THE WEST.

Hollywood, Cal, Jan. 3, 1911
Register, Brookings, 8. D.
| would be pleased to have you men,
ton in your paper that my address is
329 Florence avenue, Hollywood, Cal,
and make the proper change on my
paper. All work or all play they say
is not good, SO / thought | would get
into the real estate business, so that l
would have a chance to work a little
and play a good deal. | do not ex-
pect to sell the earth and then wire
Mars for a pasture, bat | am in hopes
TO sell some and in the meantime get
posted as to the real value Of prop
erty. The value Of property here is
more changeable than a South Dakota
wind, that is to say every man has
his price regardless of his neighbOr-
so it Is hard for a ~tenderfoot to know
what are snaps.
Well, We are now settled in a new
bungalo of six rooms, with everything
about new. Today Mrs. Lloyd and |
celebrated our Goth wedding anniver-
sary, so you see it just seems like
starting life new again. On Christmas
we entertained r. j. White and wife,
Robert, Louise and her husband, and
Arthur Bacon, NJ. E. Bacon's son, who
is here working for Robert. We had
a fine reunion, but it did seem strange
not to be having any snow and to be
eating strawberry short cake with
aviation turkey. But such is life out
here in the west, fine weather, reg
ular June weather; no frost, no rains,
nothing to mar the pleasure unless it
be the dust.
Last Saturday We entertained Mr..
and Mrs. John Ross and Prof. A. b.
McClenon and wife. 1t seemed just
like a Brookings gathering and we
were all very happy. Los Angeles, OF
which Hollywood Is a part, is certain
ly a great city, and growing very rap
idly. I see many changes since last
winter. The population now is $50,
900. and we expect it to be 100000 in
1920, and l should judge that it would
reach the mark sooner at the rate II
Is growing now. Well, / must draw
n a close. With best wishes, | re
main, Yours truly,
H. f. Lloyd.

Washington, d. ca tremendous
decline in crops generally throughout
the country, traceable to drought and
intense heat, occurred last month, as
indicated by official figures and esti-
mates made in the monthly crop re-
port of the department of agriculture.
The report is the worst, as to gen.
eral crop conditions. that the depart
ment has issued for any one month
since 1901.
The area most seriously affected ex-
tends from New York and Pennsyl-
vania westward to the Rocky Noun
tains, embracing all the great corn,
wheat and hay producing states in the
country.
Conditions in the Pacific Northwest
are regarded as = excellent, although
during July that territory suffered
from brief but excessively hot per-
iod. The figures of the report indi-
cate material slump in the prospects
OF all crops. Corn, which at this sea-
son is the most important, declined
during the month from a condition of
about per cent below the average as
indicated by the July report, to nearly
10 per cent below the average.

Taft Tells Togo of Hopes for Uni

| verssi Peace.
| Washington - President Taft ex-
tended to Japan, through the nation 3
guest, Admiral Togo, at dinner in
the White House in honor of the Jap
anese naval hero, an invitation to join
the United States, Great Britain and
France in the great world movement
for international peace.
Rising from his chair between Ad-
miral Togo and Speaker Clark, the
president offered a toast to the en-
peror of Japan. Then turning to
Count Togo, he said:
81 would indeed fail in my duty
and be untrue to my own deep convic-
tions did l not take this occasion of
the first public welcome to you as our
national guest to express my own APP
probation and that of the American
people of the broad and humanitarian
view taken by His Majesty, the en-
peror of Japan, and the imperial Jap
anese government in so readily and
generously affirming, in the most pos
tive and solemn manner, that no con-
sideration of selfish interest should be
permitted to obstruct the progress of
the great world movement for inter
national peace as exemplified in the
general treaties of arbitration, be
tween the United States, Great Bri
tain and France, signed on the day of
your arrival in this country.
81 gladly acknowledge this impor-
tant part which japan has played in
facilitating this notable achievement
by its prompt and unreserved recogni-
ton, in the recent Anglo-J apanese
agreement, of the great moral prin-
ciple of arbitration, and 1 entertain
the hope with confidence that the time
may not be far distant when Japan
will see fit to join in the movement
now so auspiciously inaugurated

NOVEMBER 30 DESIGNATED
AS THANKSGIVING DAY

Washington. ID. C.-President Taft
will designate Thursday, November
80, as Thanksgiving Day, despite the
request Of bankers that the president
name Thursday, November 23.
1t has always been the custom to
designate the last Thursday In Novem-
Der as Thanksgiving Day, and Mr..
Taft will adhere to that custom. The
bankers wanted November 20 Sc
lected, declaring that the making Of
November 80 a legnl holiday would
seriously interfere with their work.
The law requires that National banks
make their statements TO the Treasury
department on the first day of every
month, and holiday falling on the
last day Of the month would be most
inconvenient, said the bankers.
There was some doubt as to what
Thursday in November would be Sc
lected this year, as the month con-
tains five Thursdays. The White
House has been besieged by theatrical
managers and those in charge of col
Iege football games to settle this
ioubt, so that definite arrangements
:an be made for the array of special
performances and sports that mark
he day.
