After applying the vinegar and wa

and when dry he started to polish
with boiled linseed oil. One can bul

For toast that is to be used as

Ruggles' caller had been shown to
the sitting room, where he and Dan
hobnobbed and smoked during the
Westerner's visit There was a pile
of papers on the table, in one corner

Galorey took a chair and refusing a
cigarette, lit his pipe.

Ruggles' broad face had not altered
its expression Of quiet expectation.

he asked.

ly, "and one of them is my Wife
Ruggles turned his cigarette be-

slow thinker. He had none OF old

qualities. Galorey saw that he had

LOS ANGELES LAND SHOW

Los Angeles, Cal.
Brookings Register:
Back to the SOIL" is the popular
cry today. The people who were
rushing to the big cities five years
ago are now rushing back to the soil.
Since it has been proved that I'M
der modern conditions a small fami-
ly can live we'll and independently
on a few acres of western land, the
march of settlers across the CONT
nent has begun. AS they come, they
ask the questions: Where? What
cost? The land show in Fiesta Park,
Los Angeles, was designed to help
answer these and other questions.
These land shows or expositions are
being held in different cities for the
same purpose. The Los Angeles
land show of 1912 differs in some
respects from any Of its predecessors.
1t is not only larger but it follows
a distinctly new aim. Other land
shows have used their powers to in
duce the ~easterner to come west
without any reference to any par
ticular locality. This one aims to
educate the newcomer by showing
him just what the different localities
have to offer and how their advan-
tages may be realized. This educa.
tional idea is carried out in every de-
tail. The show lasts from March II
to the 2Sth, II days. The variety of
the exhibits is as wide as the terri
tory portrayed and this extends from
Alaska to Old Mexico, but the greater
part is confined to southern Califor-
MIA.
The different counties vie with
each other as to which can offer the
greatest inducements to the ~colonists
who are coming in large numbers.
I can only mention a few of the lead
ing exhibits though all are very in
teresting.
Luther Burbank, the "plant wiz,
ard" shows his latest discoveries and
accomplishments as the official ex.
hibit OF his w county, Sonoma, as
his gardens and his hot houses are al
Santa Rosa in that county One Of
the most prominent of his exhibits is
the s~pineless cactus.
San Diego shows it's Panama-Cali
fornia Exposition OF 1915 in NINA
ture.
The decorations of the different
booths r mainly made from the
fruits grown In that county. o
course the orange is the most com
mon. with apples, nuts etc. interviewer
between.
The San Gabriel mission buildin,
Is made in miniature entirely O
oranges, walnuts, t~angerines anf
kumquats, all grown in the San Ga
briel valley. Those who have see
the mission recognize It at once.
The cotton exhibit Of the Imperia
valley was to me one Of the mos
interesting exhibits. as this valley, u
to the year 1901. was a barren deser
sometimes called. "The country Go
forgot" The introduction OF waite
was the magic wand that wrought
Saeming miracle. Vegetation Of a
